BRYAN BLOCKED IN
GETTING FRIEND JOB
Democrats Hear Secretary Has
Failed to Make Bride U. S.
Marshal.

The Democrats of Washington are
much interested in a report that is find
ing credence in some quarters to the
effect that Secretary of State Bryan is
meeting with obstacles in an attempt
which he is said to be making to have
the Attorney General recommend Cot
ter T. Bride, of this city, as United
States marshal for the District of CO.
lumbia. ....
When Secretary Bryan was a MEM
ber of Congress he lived at Mr.. Brides s
home at 1S1 b street southeast, and
after that, whenever he visited Wash
ington during his campaigns for the
Presidency. he stopped with Mr.. Bride.
According to the report. Mr.. Bryan
recommended his cld friend for the
place soon after the present Admins
tration took office, but thus far has
been unable to make any progress.
Where the opposition comes from is
not known. Early. in the summer
number of letters were written to the
White Houce in the interest of various
persons for the place, but during the
last month or two interest In the 'ap-
pointment has seemed to die down.

THAN, CONFIDENT,
AWAITING VERDICT

CONCORD, n. H, Nov. Harry
Thaw will know the decision Of Govern
of Felker in the extradition proceed
ings early this week and he is await
ing this verdict certain of victory.
The Thaw brief will be filed tomor-
row. 1t attacks the New York irdict-
ment and Jeromes good faith.
In spite of the snarl over GoveEno-
Glynn's right to ask extradition, Gov
ernor Felker says:
The great seal of New York Is on
the Papers, that's enough for me-"
Il am satisfied" Thaw said today.
that the ulte:ior motive behind the
application Tor extradition Will die in
its own malicious effort, and that the
persecution of me is becoming more
evident every day."
So confident are Thaw. and his law
yers that they have established the
legal justice OIL his tight, that they have
decided no. 20 request the pubic hear
ing in which they intended to charge
jerome with persistent breach of faith.
This charge has been embodied asan
in the final briefs. Jerome has probably
stated that he would not submit to a
hearing, and the Thaw lawyers say
that they do not wish 10 impose upon
Governor Felker Indulgence:
Thaw came to the defense of his New
Hampshire lawyers today, and in long
statement replied To the attack Jerome
made on his attorneys at the hearing in
Rochester on Monday. Jerome said in
Rochester that ever since the staying
of White he CThaw) has been surround
ed by men disreputable in the practice
of law. What they. want k TO keep this
man here as long as the Thaw coke and
coal fields last. They will want to keep
him here as long as he has dollar"
In portion of his reply the fugitive
said:
The governor of New Hampshire
may have his own opinion as TO the
character OF Judge Chase and Messrs.
Drew, Shurtleff. Morris and Oakes, and
of Messrs. Martin, Howe, and Donigan,
as well as of an ex-governor of Penn
sylvania whom this foul-mouthed New
York lawyer included in his degrading
attacks.
The presumption is very strong when
the agent of a few New York State Off
Gals attempts to scandalize respectable
New Hampshire lawyers that his case
is brought in bad faith and for ulterior
motives. If 1t was an honest case,
neither Abe Hummel nor any imitator
of Abe Hummel would find 1t necessary
