BRYAN TO LECTURE
WHEN NECESSARY
of Chautauqua-Says Part OF
Criticism is Malicious

Washington, Sept 21-Mr. Bryan
issued this statement yesterday:
This evening is the last Of the
ChautauQua lectures for this season.
The total income from Chautauqua
lectures this year is little over
1000, the net receipts after taking
out the necessary expenses are some
thing over $6.5OO. The number of
whole week days which have been
used for the lectures is, according to
my recollection, seven. The remain
der Of the lectures have been deliv-
cred at places near enough to this
city to leave in the afternoon some
times as late as o'clock. / would
not assume that the public was inter
ested in these details were it not for
the fact that the representatives of
few newspapers have regarded il as
matter of great Importance"
When Mr.. Bryan was asked if he
would lecture any more during his
connection with the state department,
he replied:
81 expect to lecture whenever
deem il desirable or necessary to do
so, and have not in the least altered
the plans which were made at the
time / assumed the duties of the
Office. The criticism that has been
ulTtCltu against NY ltNluIsIlE II llO
more bitter than the criticism ! have
undergone at other times and for
ether things during my connection
with politics.
"A part of this criticism is mali
cious, a part OF it is partisan, and a
part of ii is based upon misinforma-
! tion. That which is malicious will
answer itself. that which is partisan
! will be accepted as such, that which
| is based upon misinforIlation will
! cease when the critics are better in
/ formed.
'No man should rnter public life
If he objects to criticism and he can
not stay in public life If he permits
criticisms TO turn him from doing
what he thinks is right. He must
decide his duty for himself and is
answerable TO the public for any mis-
takes he makes. / regard lecturine

This closes the lecture subject fol-
the present"
Secretary Bryan. commenting up
on the termination of his engage
ments, announced that he would con.
tinue to lecture as long as he re-
manned secretary of state, whenever
he felt there was proper occasion
and a desire to do so.

tine Against Imports.

Washington. Sept. 22.-To prevent
the introduction into the United
States OF dangerous potato disease
known as potato wart, potato canker
or black scab, the federal horticul
tural board has decided to continue
indefinitely the quarantine against
potato importations from the British
Isles, Germany, Austria Hungary,
New Foundland and the two French
islands at the mouth of the st. Law
renee river, st. Peiere and Miquelon.
The London bureau of agriculture re-
Gently through the British embassy

or modified. but the horticultural
board has ruled against a change in
the regulations.
The board declares that the pres

LEAVES BANANAS
ON UNTAXED LIST
Fruit-Senate Members Yield
Many Points.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-The tariff
conference committee of Congress to-
day voted to leave bananas on the
free list. After long controversy,
in which the influence of President
Wilson was thrown in favor of the
continued free importation of the
fruit, the senate conferees receded
from their amendment, which would
impose a duty of one-tenth of l cent
per round.
The senate also gave way as to the
duty on lemons, lines. grape fruit
and similar fruits, leaving the rates
as fixed by the house, based on the
measurement of packages. The SEN
ate had fixed fiat rate of one-half
of 1 cent per pound. The house
rates agreed to are slight reduction
from existing rates.
Two other important decisions
definitely removed the proposed
pulp and imposed a countervailing
duty against potatoes when import
ed from countries imposing duties on
like imports from the United States.
The senate had struck out the wood
pulp countervailing duty imposed by
the house and the conferees today
ratified that action. The 10 per cent
countervailing duty on potatoes,
adopted by the conferees, also was a
senate amendment.
A compromise at about l II cents
a pound was reached on Zante cur
rants. upon which Greek importers
had made a hard fight. The house
provision putting press cloths used In
cottonseed oil mills on the free list
was accepted. The senate members
also receded from their rate on hats
and the house rate of 40 per cent ad
valorem was adopted.
Detailed work on the income tax
section of the tariff bill was begun by
the tariff conferees late today. After
an hours consideration Of its pro-
visions the conference committee ad-
journed until Monday, leaving sew
eral OF its members to study the sec
ton more critically.
Representative Hull OF Tennessee,
who drafted the income tax provis-
ions adopted by the house, but who
is not a member OF the conference
committee, was called in to go over
its provisions with Senators Williams
and Shively and Representative
Kitchin.

The New Jail at Hyde Park

The interior work upon the new jail is
now finished. When the building was
first erected only four cells were put in
and they upon the first floor. The recent
work was putting in two cells and
hospital ward on the upper floor. This
latter work, like the former, was con-
tracted to he Paulv Jail Co., of St. Louis,
Mo-, and has been under the personal
direction of Ralph X. Kirk, erection SUPER
intendent, who is certainly an expert
at the same.
The cells are similar to those on the
lower floor and the ward is a room en-
closed Will grating and contains
lavatorv, toilet and bath. The recent
contract also included putting a tool
proof grating around two of the lower
floor cells, which now makes it utterly
impossible for prisoner to get out, as
he is locked in his cell inside the tool
proof grating and before he can get iuto
the corridor he must get through two sets
of CRATES. Escape from the jail it would
seem, is impossible. A corridor for
tramps has also been finished off in the
basement. The jail is certainly modern
one both as to security and sanitary ar
The work has been well
done and is a credit to the contractors.
