BRYAN IS PEEvISH.
Secretary of State Bitterly Resents
Criticisms by Newspapers.

PhoeniXville, Pa, Sept. 15.-Secretary
of State Bryan, speaking in his most
serious vein. took occasion here to deny
most emphatically that he is a mounte-
bank, a Vaudevillian. a peanut secre-
tary of state, or that he has made a
travesty on diplomacy, as has been al
legged editorially by numerous leading
newspapers of the United States. as
we'll as some of the leading newspa pers
of England and the continent.
Likewise he resents the prominence
given the fact he gets the first $3.50
taken in at each stand.
Secretary Bryan said that he is a
much-maligned individual. He takes
the stand that he is IAN added attrac-
ton on the chauta uqua circuit and OBJ
jects strenuOusly to being considered or
pictured as an acrobat, a Swiss yodeler
or a member of a vaudeville team. He
objects strenuously to being cartooned
on stage between two perfectly ca
pable members of the theatrical pro-
feSSiOn.
How is it," the secretary demanded
from his interviewer, that some
newspaper men so color their descript-
i've work as to make their stories I'M
truthful and ridiculous ~
But the editorial attacks by the
newspapers of England and the CONT
nent have bothered the secretary more
than he is willing to acknowledge. He
diSlikeS to read that he Is aklnS a
travesty out of diplomacy and that his
conduct causes laughter from the for
eign diplomats.
What right have they to declare I
am making u travesty of diplomacy"
he asked, in a petulant manner.
''They do not know the real facts.
They do not stop to investigate. and
they certainly should make an investi-
CATION before making wild statements.
The statements that / am neglecting
my duties at Washington so that l may
continue this lecture tour are abSO-
lutely untrue. The foreign newspapers
must get their ideas from the columns
of the Tory newspapers of the United
States"

IRISH BLOOD AIDS HER
Eliza beth n. Barr Tells Chicago OF
Her Police Qualifications

The Chicago Record Herald says
today: Topeka. Kan, has now two
police women in Miss Elizabeth n.
Barr. and Miss Eva Corning, who re-
ceiyed the highest grades in the civil
service examination of that city.
Miss Barr will be might woman"
the first month; Miss Corning will
constitute the day force. While they
report for duty daily to the chief,
they will work largely Independent
of the rest of the police force. Their
work will be more along preventive
lines than in the arrest of the GRIM
inally inclined among the women.
For the present a star will be the
only uniform the police women will
wear; aside from that they can dress
as they please. Later some distin-
gushing feature will be prescribed,
hat or cap.
Miss Barr is frankly enthusiastic
about her work. Also she admits she
has at least one qualification for the
job.
I'm part Irish," she declared after
she had been sworn in. I under
stand that is one of the requirements
of a patrolman, isn't it?
Seriously, 1 think we have
chance to do a great deal of good.
The idea of helping people, of help
be in trouble, will be the basis of our
work. 1t will be mostly original
work, of course, as we have no prece-
dents to guide us or hinder u.s.
Dance halls, places of public amuse-
ment, social conditions of working
girls-these will be among the first
fields of duty for the police women.
