HAND OF BRYAN seen
AIdrich Says Nebraskan Has In
umphed in Currency Bill.

New York, Oct. 16.-Former Sena-
tor Nelson w. Aldrich of Rhode Island
attacked the Wilson administrators
currency bill now before congress,
which he declared embodied the the
cries of William ]. Bryan. He de-
nounced the bill as unsound, soc1alfs-
tic and revolutionary, character1z1ng
it as an ''endeavor to obtain by par
tisan legislati ton the triumph or the
doctrines and principles which had re-
ceived the repeated condemnation of
the American people at the polls.
He quoted from Woodrow Wilson s
writing to indicate that the president
in his earlier days had entertained be-
lief contrary to provisions OF the
bill
IF the house bill should be enact
ed into law" Mr.. Aldrich asserted,
Mr. Bryan will have achieved the
purpose for which he has been con-
tending foc a decade"
Mr.. Aldrich's speech was delivered
at the closing session of the nat1onat
conference currency reform He
made no reference to the so-called
Aldrich plan for currency reform.
Mr.. Aldrich said that extreme
pressure was being brought to bear
upon congress to enact the admins
tration bill and that the reason given
was that the adoption of the bill was
necessary to fulfill promises made by
the Democratic party.
The theory tnat the OnlISQ oldIeS
should issue currency in the form of
it's promises to pay" declared Mr..
Aldrich, lis a populistic doctrine. 1t
had no standing as a Democratic par
ty principle until the advent of Mr..
Bryan in party platform in spite of
the tests and against the votes of the
men who had been most prominent in
the party councils, men who advocat-
ed loyalty to the policies and princi-
piles to which the party had adhered
throughout its existence.
There had been no suggestion that
an attempt was to be made to revive
the greenback heresy or to adopt in
legislation the rejected theories of the
Popuhst party. The Democratic can
didate for the presidency was silent
paign and he has not so far as am
aware, up to this time. publicly ex-
pressed his approval of Mr.. Bryan'S
ideas with reference to note issues.
The large majority of the Ameri-
can people who favor sound money
believed that the question of the fur
Their greenback issues was settled per-
manently by the elections of 1906 and
the following years.
IF the house bill should be enact
ed into law, Mr.. Bryan will have
achieved the purpose for which he has
been contending for a decade"
The speaker characterized the pro-
visions for government note issue in
the administrative bill as IAN en-
phatic condemnation of the theories
of government and the economic
teachings of every great Democratic
leader from Andrew Jackson and
Thomas H. Benton to Samuel ]. Til

Washington, Oct. 16.-President Wilson
today sent for Senator'S Hitchcock, Reed
and OGorman, the three Democrats of
the senate banking committee who have
been regarded opposed to the admin

Hitchcock afterward, that to let the cur

to see Democrat harmony and I should
like to the presidents wish gratified,
but I don't wish to see the merits of the

LEPER AT LARGE.
He Applies to st. Louis Dispensary for
Treatment.

ST. Louis, Oct. 16.-Driven to des-
peration by hunger and privations, a
leper thought to be suffering the last
stages of the disease, applied for food
and treatment at the city dispensary
here last night. To shield his wife
and son he assumed the name of John
Kouch.
"Kouch" said he was As years old
and that he came here from Jackson,
Tenn. He said he had been confined
in several places of isolation but al
ways made his escape. The last of
these was in Utah. He said his wife
and child are in that state now, but
would not discuss his identity further.
This is the second leper appearing
in st. Louis in the last few months.
George Hartmann escaped from the
leprosy quarantine here several weeks
ago and fled to Mexico. Won Wing,
Chinese leper, is now the sole inhab-
liant at the isolation camp Like
Hartmann, "Kouch' declared he had
contracted the disease in the Philip
pines while on a business trip in 1898.
Four years ago the first symptoms
appeared and since then, he declares,
he has died a thousand times.''
"Kouch" probably will be sent to
the isolation camp today to make his
home with the Chinaman.

STUDENTS WIN STRIKE
College Nearly Broken Up by a
Faculty Order.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Students of
Gallaudet college today celebrated the
outcome of an incipient strike in
which virtually the entire student
body joined when the faculty ordered
that students delinquent in their stud
les should be expelled for a period of
two weeks. Enforcement of the rule
would have meant the practical dis
banding of the football team. The
order eventually was suspended.
When the faculty'S ruling was made
known there was wild excitement
among the students. Many left the
campus and refused to attend the lee
lures. Others bolted their classes and
held Indignation meetings. Finally a
joint conference of the faculty and the
students was held and students in
good standing pledged themselves to
force their delinquent brothers to
make up their DEFICIENCIES within a
fortnight if the order were Withdrawn
or suspended. In view of the promise
President Percival Hall consented to
the suspension.
Football Scrubs and regulars to-
day went through formation drills
with books in their hands while a
general air of abstraction shroud-
ed most of the team. The attendance
at chapel it was said also was greater
than for many long months.

JOLT FOR RILEY
Government May Move Fort
Riley Equitation School
Kansas Climate Said to Be
Rough on Young Horses.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 16.-Recom-
mendation has been made that the
army school of equitation be moved
from Fort Riley, Kan, to Warrenton,
Va.
This recommendation is based on the
ground that the climate of Kansas is
unusually hard on young horses, which
is not the case in Virginia, and that
the school should be in a "horsy at
mosphere and among good horses
Officials of the war department say
that the climate at Fort Riley is sub
ject to sudden changes, which makes
it dangerous to horses that have to do
fast work They say that two years
is usually required before young ami
mails sent there become acclimated-
The Fort Riley school has developed
to such an extent that there is not now
sufficient stable room for the animals
A new stable and additions to the pas
ture sheds are urgently needed, fact
which adds to the desire of the war
department to effect the removal at
the present time.
1t is believed if much money is spent
at Fort Riley for the necessities of the
school it may be kept there, in an I'M
suitable place, Indefinitely. As much
money must be spent to place the
school on an efficient basis, whether at
Fort Riley or elsewhere, it is believed
that the present is an excellent time
to decide on the future pOl1cy LOT lEe
maintenance of the school
Virginia Location Is Desirable.
In the vicinity of Warrenton the
school would be in close touch with
many riding clubs, polo grounds, and
in a neighborhOOd noted for it's blood
ed horses. 1t is recommended that if
it is decided to move the school
stables, riding hall, shops, paddocks,
quarters for enlisted men, administra-
ton building and a veterinary hospi-
tai be constructed at once.
The question of providing quarters
for officers could be left until some
date later, temporary provision being
made for them in the town of Warren
ton and they being furnished commu
tation of quarters
If Kansas is to hold this school of
the army, members of the Kansas del
egation will have to get busy and use
their influence to the end of its per-
manent retention.
Henderson Martin, member of the
Kansas state utilities commission, is

Folsom and Pierceville, Kan, will be

WARSHIP BURNS OIL.
The Queen Elizabeth Is Built on
Entirely New Plan.

Portsmouth, England, Oct. 16-An-
other novelty in battleships, the Queen
Elizabeth, which carries an immense
armament and uses oil instead of coal
for her motive power. was launched at
the Royal navy dock yards here today.
The ship, whose keel was laid Oct.
81. 1912, is of an entirely new type. De-
tails of her construction have been
kept secret. 1t is generally believed
that her armament is to consist of ten
15-inch guns mounted in pairs in bar
bettes. while her secondary armament
of four-inch or six-inch guns also is
to be placed behind protective armor
Under ordinary circumstances the
carrying of such a big battery would
imply a considerable increase in dis
placement, but this has been obviated
by the utilization of oil fuel for the
engines in place of coal. The substi-
tuition of oil tanks for coal bunkers
means great economy in weight and
space In this way it has been posi-

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Oct 16.-WHEAT-Wheat to-
day declined for the fifth consecutive
day. Weakness at Liverpool. expectation
of continued liberal world shipments and
favorable crop prospects in Argentina

taking by shorts led to a rally, but the
market once more fell back. The opening
was A@ssc to 5sGS4c off. The ensuing re-
covery, which amounted to NC soon dis
appeared.
Weakness increased owing to accumu-
lation of stocks at Minneapolis and Du-
1uth. The close was heavy at 14c to 13sc
net lower.
CORN-Unsettled weather condition
west and southwest and bullish cables
gave corn strength. Opening figures
varied from 1sdAc decline to sc advance
A substantial gain followed.
Afterward prices reacted on account of
assertions that at some Illinois points
husk1ng returns were a little better than
expected. The close was weak, Ac net
lower to a shade advance.
OATS-Oats hardened with corn. Com
mission houses though were fair sellers
on the upturn.
