WILL LET BRYAN TELL.
He Will Be First Witness in Investiga-
ton of the Money Trust.

Washington, Feb. 10.--William Jen-
nings Bryan will be the first witness
to be summoned before the house COM
nittee on banking and currency to tes-
tify in the money trust investiga-
ton, which the Democratic caucus, re-
pudiating Mr.. Bryan's demand for a
special committee, referred to stand
ing committees of the house.
Mr.. Bryan trod on the toes of the
Democratic members of the commit
tee when he recently declared the
money trust" thought it could control
the committee. The committee insists
that Mr. Bryan must explain what he
meant. notwithstanding the fact that
the Bryan adherents in the caucus
Wednesday night offered a resolution,
which was adopted, expressing conf
dence in the integrity of their coll
leagues on that committee.
The committee is unit" said Rep
banking and currency committee, s1n
the decision that Mr.. Bryan must ex-
plain to US exactly what he meant. .
Mr.. Bryan is credited with saying:
trust. having failed in its efforts to
prevent an investigation, is now try
ing to force an investigation by the
banking committee. The fact that the
trusted with the investigation, is proof
positive that 1t thinks it can control
that committee
In marked contrast to the proposals
made by Representative Henry of Tex
as for an inveSti cation of the money
trust was resolution introduced by
representative Pujo, eliminating all
specific reference to the money
trust" The Pujo resolution was ap-
proved by the majority members of the
committee to which the Democratic
caucus referred most of the inquiry.
The PuJo resolution sets forth that
the committee is DESTROYS of securing
full and complet information regard
ing the banking and currency condi-
tions of the country for the purpose
of determining what legislation is
needed" and authorizing it to sit as
a whole by subcommittee during
the session or recess of congress and
to compel the attendance of witnesses.
This resolution has been introduced
by me upon my own responsibility
and reflects only my personal views, -
said Representative Pujo.

Well known Feature of Old
Days is Generally Favored.
HAS OLD HOTEL STATUETTE
Topeka Passenger Agent Finds
One at HOltOns
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

"A man who is unacquainted with
the geography of his country
Who does not remember the above
expression? It is a form of advertis-
ing that was used so many years by
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific
railway. In late years it has been
abandoned for more modern girl-head
and beach scene posters proclaiming
the climate of the lands touched by
the road.
But the Rock Island Lines today,
after passing nearly q generation of
administrations road is looking
with longing eyes on the old "a Man
advertisement.
James A. Stewart, general passenger
agent of the Rock Island in Topeka,
has dug up out of a hotel in Holton,
Kansas, an old statuette of the "a
Man advertisement. It represents a
man standing in front of a Rock
Island map studying it's course. His
grip sits at his feet and he holds a
folder in his hand The advertisement
is about three feet high and two feet
wide and is as heavy as a man can
carry.
General Passenger Agent Stewart is
having this statuette cleaned and
secured. It Will be mounted in his Of
flee and kept as a valuable souvenir
of the old methods of the roads ad-
vertising. These advertisements were
placed in hotels, restaurants, public
buildings and stations all over the
country.
VIII Use the Ads Again.
Mr.. Stewart admitted this afternoon
that the Rock Island had resurrected
a number of their old "A Man ad-
vertisements. Recently several OF
these advertisements have appeared IN
Chicago, st. Louis and Omaha papers.
1t is considered one of the greatest
ads in railroad history. For many
years the Rock Island was familiarly
known as the "A Man" railroad. Very
few advertisements of the time at
tracted the attention Of this clever
idea.
The ad was originated many years
ago by E. St. John who was general
passenger agent. st. John brought the
attention of the Rock Island officers
to his door when he was a city pas
senger agent writing local advertise
ments. When he was appointed gen
eraI passenger agent he started the "A
Nam idea and il flooded the country
1t would not be surprising some day
to find the "A Man" advertising run
ming throughout the press and maya
zines of the country. 1t will be re
lief. Railroads have an idea now days
that pretty girls. women in bathing
costume blooming orange trees and
shapely feminine forms bring publicity
to their road.
