Nebraskan Occupies Much of the At.
tention of the Faction
Managers.
ARRIVES IN CITY UNHERALDED
Renews His Denial That He Is Can
didate in Baltimore Convention or
Has Any Idea of Being Named.

Chicago. June 17.-William J. Bry.
an, Democratic leader and three times
beaten for the presidency, today is
occupying much Of the attention OF
the managers for both Taft and
Roosevelt. Arriving here yesterday
unheralded, he was given welcome
which he himself admitted was as
warm as any he ever received from a
Democratic assemblage, and today as
he moved about the corridors Of the
hotel he was enthusiastically ac-
claimed. The majority of the dele
gates seem to believe that Bryan will
be nominated at Baltimore and that
he is studying conditions here at first
hand in order to be better prepared
for shaping things in the convention
next week.
To the United Press, Bryan renewed
his denial that he is candidate or
that he has even a lingering belief
that he may be named again as the
Democratic candidate. He expects
the fight to be between Clark and Will
son and will tour the country for
whichever shall be named.
81 want chance to show how |
can fight for progressive Demo
crat," Bryan said. "Our convention at
Baltimore will be controlled by the
progressives. The conservatives are
already whipped. They will cut little
figure in the platform. Our platform
will be a model of brevity and clarity
and will express in plain terms just
what the people may expect when
they return the Democratic party TO
power, as they will next November"
To all who have promised support
and he has had a public assurance
from both Roosevelt and Taft men
that unless their candidate is nomin-
ated they will turn to the Nebraskan,
Bryan has insisted firmly that he is
not in the running. Despite this he
is pulled and hauled about by crowds
eager to seize and shake his hand.
He confessed today that his back is
sore from the pounding it has receiv-
ed, accompanied by assurances OF
"Bill, we know you are all right
The colonel from Nebraska was still
chuckling today over his visit to the
colonel from Oyster Bay which he
paid in his capacity as newspaper cor
respondent yesterday. The two men
who might be assailing each other
from the stump within fortnight
were in private conference for nearly
half an hour Neither would discuss
the visit or the topics under discussion
and all efforts to get Bryan to say
whether he welcomed Roosevelt as 4
fellow progressive were futile.
81 went to get piece for my pa
per-" naively declared Bryan, chang
ing the conversation when ques-
toned.

K|DDs NOT IN CONTEMPT
Supreme Court Holds They Cannot
be Punished for Refusal to
Return Money.

The full text of the decision Of the
Supreme Court of Appeals in the case
Of the Virginia Safe Deposit and Trust
Corporation VS.. E. L. and F. H. Kidd
and r. Lee Camden, as rendered by
Judge Stafford G. Whittle in Wythe-
vile has reached Alexandria. The de-
cision holds that the Corporation
Court of Alexandria was in error and
in it. decree ordering the defendants
to return to the trust company the
sum Of $2,l93,33 which was withdrawn
by them from the Lovingston branch,
or be imprisoned in Jail until the mon
ey was returned.
On the question of the right Of plain
tiffs to maintain the suit the court
says it thinks it unnecessary to eX-
press any opinion on that branch of
the case.
Taking up the question of the with
drawal of the funds after the corpora
ton had gone into the hands Of the
receiver the court holds that in order
to punish the appellants for an alleged
contempt that mere preponderance Of
evidence is not sufficient but the Of
fense charged must be proved beyond
a reasonable doubt and this, it believes
has not been done. 1t was not shown
that Mr.. Kidd positively knew that the
receivers had ben appointed or the
bank was in trouble nor did the de-
cree appointing the receivers contain
any direction or mandate against
him.
In summing up it's decision the court
says:
"We are of the opinion that the evil
dence was not sufficient to find the ap-
pellants guilty Of the contempt with
which they are charged, and inasmuch
as Imprisonment for dr-t passed from
our statute books with the writ of
capias add satisfaciendum in 1849 it
was error to require them in this pro-
ceeding to refund the money in contro-
versy.""

Taft candidate for temporary chair
man has framed plank which de-
clares that ian independent judiciary
knowing no friend or foe is the great
est safeguard of true liberty" 1t de-
clares that the submission to judicial
authority Of questions of controversy
marks the highest development which
civilization has attacked and will de-
clare that the recall of judges would
make them dangerous.
The Taft platform will endorse a
central financial organization such as
that suggested by the Aldrich plan,
but an attempt will be made to change
it enough so that criticism of the AL
drich plan cannot be applied to the
suggested one. The Roosevelt plat
form is expected specifically to con-
denim the Aldrich plan in detail.
The Taft platform will declare en-
phatically for the retention OF the
Sherman antitrust law, but will de-
mand supplementary legislation that
it's operation may be made more easy
and also that the individual respon-
sibility for monopolies can be easily
fixed. The Roosevelt plan will demand
the enaction of the laws, which will
make more easy the regulation OF all
big combinations of capital and the
specific definition of just what is and
what is not lawful.
The Roosevelt plan will be revolut-
ionary in one thing-it will declare
uneouivocally for women's suffrage
and inasmuch as there is wide dli-
ference of opinion in the Roosevelt
camp on this plan, warm hight on IL
is already forecasted.
The Taft platform will specifically
endorse and commend the Taft admin
istration. The Roosevelt document
will entirely ignore it.
Chicago, June lit was reported
shortly after noon today that the
Virginia delegation, counted as sohd
for Taft, aat an executive session to-
day unanimously voted against the
selection of Senator Root for the
temporary craftsmanship and also
against permitting delegates seated
by the National Committee in con-
tested cases to vote on their own
nlaces in affirming the temporary
convention roll. The latter action is
the first taken by any state so far
against the contested delegates seats

in few days from the hospital
where he has been under medical
caae for some time. - Emil Niko-
dym, the 10-year old son of Mr..
and Mrs Joseph Nikodym, while
feeding the horses at his home last
Monday evening, was seriously in
lured by being kicked on the head
by one of the animals that he was
feeding. The injury seemed to be
very serious for awhile, and grave
fears were entertained, but later
developments prove that the in
jury is not so dangerous as at first
supposed, and at this writing the
lad is reported as doing nicely un-
der the care of DR.. F. A. Moore,
Of Lesterville, to whom the lad
was taken right after the accident.

nounced that delay meant an inn

excuse plainly says) as they may
seem to the average mind, Thee

law, its chief competitor, the Ten

man who used to bust trusts In
explanation he says; The prime
reason l am with you, my dear
Colonel, is because | have children

this country wont be good place
for my children unless we (the
capitalists) have substantial justice

most assuredly), unless the rela-
tions between capital and labor are
on better basis l wish to sup
port any movement which will
bring that about and so far as l
can see, you, nay dear Colonel, are
the only public man who in good
faith is supporting these views.
And the Colonel in abject sim

public for all it is worth There

feminine men as we'll as women of

Senator Crawfish of this state
keeps on propelling himself as the
name suggests; backward. He
assures us that he is that he is a
republican in good standing and
intends to remain in the parties
fold. At the same time he is, SO
he has said and we believe him,
going to do his level best for
Roosevelt, who is a candidate OF
another party and he will also
waste bis influence in favor of the
presidential electors of the Huron
convention, who threatened to
give their votes to Roosevelt.
