WILSON'S LETTER
 ON BRYAN FOUND
Mysterious Epste Declaring Mr. Bryan Should Be Knocked Into a Cooked Hat is Given Out in New York By Adrian H. Joline, the Railroad President to Whom
 It Was Addressed

letter which has now risen out of the past to confront him. That it was still able to rise thus spectre like; that such a casual Dote of acknowledgement and expression of sympathy in viewpoint should have been preserved through the passing years, was due to no ones fore sight as b the significance and interest IL would acquire later on.
 Collects Autographs
 Besides being lawyer, a re-organizer of railways and a writer, MT. Joline hap pens to be a collector of autographs In the course of years he has gathered a collection of great value and the "Medi- tations of An Autograph Collector" was from his pen.
 So, instead of destroying the little note, he paid pr. Wilson the compliment of preserving it as an interesting autograph
 In the early months of last year at time when 1t seemed to MT. Joline that Governor Wilson was fraternizing with MT. Bryan in an interesting fashion; when 1t struck him that the two men were pat ting each other on the back, speaking on the same platform and generally harmo- nizing, (not Harmonizing), he happened to chance upon that forgotten letter of four years before. He was mild diverted ar the contrast.
 Tt just goes to show he thought "how ones views will change with the years and, perhaps, with ones becoming can didate for offiee." It was with some such amused reflection as this that he took the letter out and showed it to friend.
 The Spectre Walks
 But that started the spectre walking. It stalked abroad through the land The anecdote spread and spread It was too good to keep, and the first thing MT. Jo- line knew hints as to the existence of the letter were in the newspapers. The story circulated that Otto T. Barnard had re- ported 1t to President Taft and later there were rumors of it's circulation among the gathering clans in Washington.
 Yesterdays papers were out with the version that was in the air somewhat twisted and diluted in the process of re- telling.
 MT. Joline was much disturbed. He had attached no such importance to the letter It had not seemed to him q startling thing that Dr. Wilson should show a change of heart toward Mir Bryan. He certainly did not wish to be put in the position of one who would seek to harm Governor Wilson in any respect or embrofl him in a squab- ble with the Nebraskan leader.
 When visited last Saturday he flatly de- clined to show the letter or to quote It. It was not until yesterday, when the quo tations from memory were taking on strange preversions in some quarters, that it seemed best all round to furnish the real text and thus divest it of the charm and expansive qualities of mystery.

President of Railroad

MT. Joline was chairman and president of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Rail way company at the time he made the address to the board of directors on April 1, 1907, the address which is referred to in the letter and which inspired it. Mir Joline in this address, discussed the cpl demic of enmity to the railroad and said what he thought of opinions expressed by some of the railroads leading critics. He took issue with MT. Bryan, chasing him amongst the badly informed" and among those who do not appear to have given the subject any intelligent atten- tion." He himself called the address What is perhaps feeble protest against the blind and foolish outcry against all railways
 The speech was reproduced in St. Louis newspaper. It was the spring be- fore the panic and many people were interested in the subject. A number of men wrote MT. Joline to ask for copy of the address. In response he issued copy and then MT. Wilson wrote the

Washington, January 7.-(SpeciaL)-- Underwood sentiment was strongly in evidence as the democratic committee men and other leaders of the party gathered in Washington last night and today There is as much talk about Underwood as there is about Harmon, Wilson.

 The talk Is not confined to peopl, from the south. It comes from north, east and west.
 Clark Howell became impatient with the souths political timidity today and gave out a strong interview in which he declared that it is full time for the south to wake up and accept the in- vitation to the rest of the country to "come out of the kitchen and dine with the rest of the family in the dining room p

 For the last two days politicians and political onlookers the country over have teen speeulating as to its tenor and its possible effect upon the fortune and friendships of the New Jersey candidate for the presidency on the democratic ticket.

Howell Comments

MT. Howell. who is one of the oldest members of the committee and Is edi- tor of the Atlanta Constitution, said
 "The south has been eating in the kitchen for 50 years. Now that we have been invited to come up in the parlor we hold back. while the rest of the country Is wiling"
 "It's a strange thing"
 "The south has been doing penance for 50 years and we have held tena- ciously to the prejudiced idea that it would be political blunder to nomin- ate a man from our section. The north. and other sections of tho country, have long since forgotten this old obses- sion, but 1t still fingers in the south.
 "A friend walked into my office the other day. l asked him whom he fa- vored for President. He named one Of the southern men mentioned, but he qualified his indorsement with this sig nifcant statement:
 1T was for this southerner, but since [ came to Atlanta eyefypody hoies ID hands in horror and laments the fact that southerner cannot be elected
 T wonder how long we are to be burdened with this peculiar idea which exists nowhere else in the country, asked MT. Howell.
 "The President named a southerns CT for the chief justiceship; he appointed a Georgian to the highest bench; he has just selected a South Caroinian to head the marine hospital service; southern men are being named for important po- sitions every day. but down our way the people still cling to the old fear that a southern man cannot be Pres- ident."
 A New York democrat tic congressman is quoted as saying. The New York delegation in the convention would swing to oscar Underwood after the first few ballots if the south would only keep his name before the conven- tion and put up a fight for his nomin- alton. 1 am not a supporter of Under wood at this time, but there is no deny ing the fact that he is gradually gain ing strength all over the country

MUST HAVE CAPITAL

Paris, January 1.-The suggestion which
 has been discussed here for several days
 that an international combination of
 bankers might arrange some concrete
 plan for the settlement of the Chinese
 revolution includes the idea of the possi-
 ble recognition ,ofstwo Chlnas, one in the
 northfi the old monarchy, and sthe other
 in the south, the new republic. This idea
 finds it's basis in the suppositiop tEat the
 struggle in the north and south IS apt to continue indefinitely plunging the en- pire in an indeterminable war destructive alike to the welfare of the Chinese and
 the interests of the foreign powers. A distinguished French financier said today:
 Much has been said by the world about the power of capital to dominate good. It seems here is an opportunity for capi- tai to offer itself to the attainment of ai great goal-salvation of great nation. However present deadlock in China may develop China must have capital, but be- fore capital can be offered by the powers China must accept stated form o1 gov ernment or governments as q guarantee of peace in the future.
 The attitude of France towards China is that of absolute cooperation with the other powers. The French government has no present intention of taking sep arate action of any kind but realizes that an outbreak of anarchy and an attack upon the foreigners or their property
 might precipitate immediate concerted in tervention."
 San Francisco, January 7.-China's re- juvenation was observed in San Francisco today by celebration participated in by nearly every person in Chinatown. The purpose was to do honor to the election of pr. Sun Yat Sen to the presidency of China.
