GUARD AT ASTOR
TOMB IS DOUBLED

NEW YORE. July 5.-Frieds of
the Aston family r greatly con-
cerned over the fact that the guard
at the tomb of Colonel John Jacob
Astor in Trinity Cemetery has been
doubled. The body of Colonel Astor
was brought to this city on May 4
after the funeral services in the
Church of the Messiah at Rhinebeck.
The casket was placed in a niche in
the family vault. beside the casket
of his mother and above that of his
father.
Two men have guarded it night and
day, the same size of guard that had
watched the tomb since 1t was built.
But within a few days four men have
been detailed to protect the place,
and no explanation has been vouch-
safed as to the reason for the in
creased precaution.
Few outside of the intimate friends
of the Aston family have been aware
that for two-score years or more 1t
has been their custom to guard the
graves of their dead. II was inaugu-
rated by the great-grandfather of the
present head of the house. The then
John Jacob Aston had been painfully
impressed by the incidents surround
ing the stealing OF the body of A. T.
Stewart.

The members of the committee are
waiting to near from the public be.
fore they make any definite state
ment regarding the abandonment OF
the canal. but it is known that they
consider the canal, as a canal, of nc
value to the State.
They assert that the present type
of canalboat. carrying seventy tons
of coal, limited capacity. taking five
days, maximum speed. Is not consist
ent or practical when three parallel
railroads can carry 1000 tons per
train. covering the route in five
hours.
The present legislative bill for
canal abandonment treats the canal

bryan PUTS ONE
OVER ON WILSON

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Wiliam
Jennings Bryan put one over on
woodrow Wilson in drafting the plat
form of The Democratic national con-
vention, according to members OF
-ngre after they had digested tine
various planks of that document.
Friends of both Speaker Clark ano
oscar w. Underwood say that the
fine Italian hand of Bryan appears
In the plank, which declares:
1--WE favor a single presidential
form and to that end urge the adop-
tfon of an amends..cn to the consti-
tuition making the President OF the
limited States ineligible for reelec-
ton. and we pledge the candidate OF
this convention to this principle
No plank in the platform is
definite than the one that bars the
democratic nominee. should he be
elected. from succeeding himself in
office. Not only is thAparty pledged
To adopt a resolution submitting to
the states a request for an amend
ment to the Constitution providing
for only one term, but the candidate
of the party is himself pledged to ac-
cept that principle.
Most of the members of Congress
are convinced that Bryan was anx-
ious to obtain the nomination at Bal
timore for himself. but that the VIII
son movement, which he intended to
aid up to a certain point in order to
kill off Speaker Clark. got away from
his control. They say that when ne
felt that his own candidacy was hope
less he wrote into the platform of
the party the provision against a sec
ond term for Wilson.
Bryan, according to the view OF the
W rious eaders. had heard the rumors
that Wilson would %supplant him as
leader of the party if nominated for
President. and he became convinced
thai If the New Jersey man should
become President denomination and
reelection would result as a matter
of course.
1t was pointed out to Bryan that
if Wilson made a good President the
party would be throwing away its
golden opportunity in making it i'm
possible to select him again as stand
.ard-bearer, but Bryan is said to have
insisted that one term was enough
for any man.
Bryan's action in taking this step
to leave the nomination in 1915 an
open fight does not surprise those
who know how strong is his desire to
be President of the United States
