BRYAN LOSES IN
FIGHT On GUFfEY
National Committee Votes to
Seat His Foe.
LIE PASSED DURING DEBATE
Pennsylvania Calls Opponent in
Contest Over Seat a FaIsifier.
But Later Apoloeizes-Good
Rumor Prevails.

Washington. William Jennings
Bryan was defeated in the Demo
cratic national committee by a
vote of 80 to Ii in his fight to prevent
Col, James M. Guffey Of Pennsylvania
from being seated as committee mem
Der from the keystone state. Mr..
Bryan openly accused the colonel Of
a betrayal of his party.
Most Of the contention over the
seating of Guffey was conducted in
executive session. MIR. Bryan, who
succeeded four years ago in keeping
Guffey off the committee, got into &C
ton a few minutes after the commit
room at the Shoreham.
When the name OF Alabama was
called it was reported that the state
committee had filled the vacancy
caused by death by the election OF
James Weatherly. 1t was moved that
mittee.
William j. Bryan, who holds the
proxy of P. l.. Hall, the Nebraska
member, at once got the floor.
Are We to understand said he
that we must take anyone certities
to us by state committee?"
Chairman Mack said that this was
the understanding at the meeting OF
the last convention and that 1t would
obtain here.
Bryan moved that the national com
mittee be empowered to pass on all
vacancies filled by state committee
Recognizing that this particular
case cannot amount to anything, but
that it will affect a later case" he
said, Il appeal from the decision OF
the chair and ask tc make a state
ment"
J. w. Caughlin Of Massachusetts
then moved an executive session and
subsequent proceedings were held be-
hind closed doors.
The seating of Mountcastle Of Ten
nessee was made unanimous as soon
as the Guffey affair had been set
tied.
In the course of the argument over
Guffey, A. Mitchell Palmer, his op
ponent for the seat to which Gutfey
was elected, charged him with having
deliberately defeated the choice OF
the Democrats for governor and sup
porting q man of his own choice.
That's lie!" shouted Guffey, land
you know it's a lie."
Il demand an apology" said Pal
mer, growing red in the face. Gutfey
supplied the apology reluctantly
whereupon Senator Tiilman, who had
been sitting quietly in his seat, arose
and said: Il think he ought to apollo
gize to the whole committee"
Mr.. Guffey furnished this apology
also, and good humor was fully re
stored.

EIGHT ARE KILLED
IN GOTHAM FIRE
Equitable Life Assurance Build
ing Is Destroyed.
DAMAGE Is FIVE MILLION
Offices of Hartman Roads and Finan-
cial Firms Burned-Man Is I'M
prisoned in Vault - Three
Leap from Roof.

New York. The immense gran
tie office building of the Equit-
able Life Assurance society on lower
Broadway was destroyed by a fire
which is still burning Four bodies
have been taken out of the
building, three men leaped to death
and there is little doubt that several
others, dead or alive, are in the ruins.
The damage, if the firemen can con-
which they started, will be about
100000.
The firemen discovered a man i'm
prisoned i'll the vault Of the Mercan-
tile Safe Deposit company on the
Cedar street side of the building. 1t
was reported that he was the presi-
dent of the company, who had rushed
into the vault in an effort to save
valuable books and securities. The
last rites Of the church were admin
istered to him while the firemen
worked frantically to release him.
Police officials reported that the
loss of life probably would be about
eight. Three men jumped from the
roof of the building into Cedar street,
the police reported, and were killed.
They were watchmen employed in
the upper part of the building, it is
supposed, and their escape was cut
off by the flames.
The fire started in the Cafe Savarin,
an eating house in the basement.
While the restaurant employees were
smOthering the flames in the kitchens
the blaze crept up the elevator shafts
without their knowledge and few
minutes later broke out in unre-
pressed fury on the upper floors. The
streets were filled with slush and ice
and the day was thick and fOggy,
making the work of the firemen more
dificalt than in fair weather.
The big building was also the home
Of the Union and Southern Pacific
railroads, the banking house OF Au-
gust Belmont & Co., the Mercantile
Trust company, now a subsidiary OF
the Bankers Trust company; the Mer-
camille Safe Deposit company and a
number of New York financial firms.
Millions upon millions OF dollars
IN securities and cash were in the i'm
mense vaults of the Equitable COM
pany and in the vaults Of the trust
and safe deposit companies, but it is
not believed the heat OF the fire can
penetrate the safes, and there will
be no loss from this source. The
heaviest loss besides that on the
building was caused by the destruc-
ton of insurance and railroad record.
All the floors fell soon after the
roof went, but the great granite walls
held firm
The firemen made a desperate eff
fort to save three men who jumped
into Cedar street, but they had no
time to rig their life nets. The three
stood on the cornice OF the building
only moment or two, the flames be-
hind them driving them to despera-
ton. Then they knelt for a moment,
lifted their hands in prayer and
leaped together to the pavement, $50
feet below.
Fire officials admitted that even
with the best efforts they could pos
sibly put forward the loss would be
minimum of probably 100000.

MONETARY BOARD
ON BANK REFORM
Commission Drafts Bill After Four
Years Work-To Prevent
Money Panic.

Washington, D. C.-The national
monetary commission. after four
years of study and labor, have drafted
bill to revise the currency system
of the United States designed to pre-
vent a recurrence of such unfortunate
financial conditions as prevailed dur
ing the money panic of 1907.
The bill consists of fifty-nine sec
tons and in general follows the lines
of the socalled Aldrich plan. But the
commissions bill shows some impor-
tant changes from the original or even
from the revised draft of Mr. Aldrich's
plan.
The bill incorporates the National
Reserve association Of the United
States, with an original capital OF
$200,000,000 instead of the S3O0,OOO,-
900 as first proposed by Mr.. Aldrich.
Through an elaborate machinery in
volving fifteen branches of the assocl-
alton, each branch being the center OF
a group of local associations Of banks.
the National Reserve association is au-
thorized to issue notes against prop
erly Endorsed commercial paper. The
bill provides for the admission to the
reserve association of state banks
and trust companies that subscribe to
its conditions as we'll as CT the nation
al banks already in existence.
The circulating notes of the aSSOcla-
ton shall be received at par in pay
ment for all dues to the United States
and salaries and debts owned by the
United States, unless gold is specifical-
ly set forth in the contract, and all
dues or debts to any bank or trust
company shall be payable in the notes.
The notes shall constitute a first lien
upon all the assets of the association
and no interest shall be paid by the
association upon its deposits.
Besides it's duties in the rediscount-
elastic currency, the association shall
act as disbursing agent for the United
States government and shall also
transact business abroad, authority be-
ing given for the establishment of for
eign branches. The assets of the as
ISOLATION and Of local branches and
districts shall be exempt from local
and state taxation except as to real
estate, while a federal tax falls auto
matically upon the association for its
failure to maintain the SO per cent. re-
serve required by the act.
The bill attempts to prevent the
Capitalization of the control of the
system in any one locality. In the dis
tricting of the country for the fifteen
branches. division is made largely by
geographical and not financial stand
ards.
The sections which will attract
widest public interest and arouse the
most debate are those relating to the
| issuance of currency by the associa-
ton. The sections follow broadly the
Aldrich plan.

Bloomington, Hl.-Through the
cooperation Of the London Times.
local interests have made an in

The results of the investigation,

pay the extreme penalty Of his afro

that they will plead for clemency on
the ground that their client is in

Governor Foss and two of the coun-
cillors are known to be in favor OF
clemency and the record of three OF
the others is such that RichesOn has
reason to hope.
