against the methods followed IN
framing the Indian appropriation

Senator Lane says the pending bill
carries so special appropriations. as

BRYAN GIVES LUNCH,
NO WINE IS SERVED
Dinner to Diplomatic Corps
Is Minus Flowing Bowl.
Secretary Says He Explained to Guests
That He Had Always Been
TeetotaIer and Company Spent
Most Enjoyable Evening.

Washington, d. C.-In an official
statement Secretary Bryan Thursday
made public the result of his first Sc
rious diplomatic effort through which
the dinner to Ambassador James
Bryce and other members of the diplo-
matte corps was served without wines
on Monday night.
In conclusion the secretary of state
informs all who may be interested
that the policy of the official family
at all White House functions will be
one of total abstinence. The state
ment follows:
This was the first dinner which
we have given to members of the
diplomatic corps and therefore the
first time when We came into conflict
with the social custom of serving wine
at dinner The seven other ambassa-
dors then in the city and their ladies
were invited to meet Ambassador and
Mrs. Bryce and, as all the gentlemen
guests present were from foreign
countries, | thought it proper to eX-
plain to them the reason for our fail
ure to conform to what seems to have
been customary in this matter.
Believing that the issue should be
met frankly in the beginning, | told
them when we sat down to the table
that Mrs. Bryan and l had been tee
totalers from our youth, as were our
parents before us, and had never
served liquor at our table; that when
the president was kind enough to ten
der me the portfolio of state, asked
him whether our failure to serve wine
would be any embarrassment to the
administration and that he generous
ly left the matter to our discretion.
/ suggested that thought it unfair to
assume that those coming to us from
abroad would judge us harshly or be
unwilling to tolerate the maintenance
OF a traditional custom and expressed
the hope that our friendship would be
made SO apparent to them and our
hospitality so cordial that they would
overlook this weakness in us, If they
regarded it as weakness. My re-
marks were applauded by the COM
pany and we never spent more en-.
joyable evening. That is all there is
to the matter and we can consider the
incident closed and the custom estab-
lished so far as we are concerned"
