BRYAN DOESN'T CARE
WHO IS ON CIRCUIT
JuggIers, Magicians, and Other
Knights Of the Road Serve
Purpose, He Says. /

D.sciaimiBg responsibility for the
press propaganda of Paul NJ. Pierson,
superintendent Of the Chautauqua cir
cult. in which attention was called to
the fact that the Secretary of State
was billed to appear at the various
towns on his list with jugglers. ma.
gicians.- and other knights of the road,
Mr.. Bryan did not deny this morning.
however. that his lectures frequently
preceded or followed performances Of
the kind.
Apparently the Secretary was not i'm
the least put out" by the announce
ment. On the contrary. he went into
detailed explanations of how the pro-
grams are arranged.
Il knew nothing about this state
ment," he said. until / saw IL In the
papers. 1t Is true, however, that va
ried forms Of amusement are used to
hold the crowd between the addresses.
Ordinarily Chautauqua circuit il con-
Quoted on the basis Of limiting the at
tendance to the holders Of season tick
cts In each town. and these tickets are
sold TO SO or 900 persons.
Mine 10 arranged differently, so that
while there are season tickets, persons
may buy tickets for the single lecture.
There are morning and afternoon ses-
sions. and crowds. arriving early it is
necessary to hold them. Usually the
lecture is preceded by band concert,
and between times there are other
forms of amusement offered the T. au-
dience.
Down East here, the people are not
as familiar with the purposes Of these
Chautauquas as they are in the Middle
West. Essentially they are for the
educational benefits which they confer,
and they are not necessarily religious
in character. My lectures are arranged
somewhat differently for the reason
that there Is no effort to make profits.
A certain number Of prominent people
in each town guarantee the expenses, q
part Of which has to go for employing
what Mr.. Pierson calls his talent The
receipts over and above expenses go
to extending the circuit"

President Not Seeking
Antitrust Laws Now

No antitrust legislation will be at
tempted by the Administration at the
special session Of Congress. This In
formation was given today by the
President tc callers at the White. House.
That legislation Of this kind is to be
introduced In the next regular session
might follow the line Of the seven SIS
ter bills introduced In the New Jersey
legislature at the instance of the Presi-
dent when he was governor. Is indicated
by the fact. that the President has
given consideration to no other form of
antitrust legislation.
Before the regular session begins he
will consult with Attorney General Nc
Reynolds and members OF his Cabinet
as to what is needed In the way of new
laws. 1t is probable that he will sub
NIT to them the Ideas contained In the
New Jersey bills.

DISTRICT TO STUDY
DISPOSAL PROBLEM
Fund for Survey of Proposed
Garbage Plants May Be
Put in Estimates.

Urged by the "Clean City Committee -
the Commissioners probably will include
in their annual estimates an appropria-
ton for a survey of the cost of the
collection and disposal of city waste,
including the establishment of disposal
plants
Plans for the municipal collection of
garbage, ashes, and refuse We're dis
cussed at a conference between Com
missioner Newman and d. A. Edwards
and DR.. Arthur l.. Murray, president
and secretary of the clean city commit
tee, today. Mr.. Edwards and DR.. Muir
ray recommended that the city take up
the work, which at present is done
under five-year contracts. The present
contracts will expire in 1915.
The recommendations of the commit
tee are in line with those Of J. w.
Paxton, Superintendent Of the Street
Cleaning Department. On the advice
of Mr.. Paxton the Commissioners last
year asked for an appropriation of
$4,000 for the purpose of obtaining an
estimate Of the cost Of the work, but
Congress did not see fit to make the
appropriation.
IL 10 cstiHldttU Nv
Paxton that the contractors for the
disposal of garbage, ashes, and refuse
have invested in collecting equipment
and disposal plants several hundred
thousand dollars, which they must have
figured on recovering from the amounts
received from the District for services
rendered during the five-year contracts
as these Investments would be prac-
tically valueless, he declares, ii the
contractors were not successful in OBJ
tanning the same contracts for the next
term of five years. In other words, he
says, the District is probably paying
to the contractors, in addition to the
cost of the work and the contractors
profits. of cost of complete disposal
plants and collection equipment every
five years. whereas, the disposal plants
II owned by the District would last
forty or fifty years.
1T is believed" said Superintendent
Paxton. that the city should at least
own the disposal plants. The collections
OF city waste could be let to contrac-
tors on the basis of the contractors
leasing the plants from the District"
