Mr.. Bryan's statement from the

BRYAM'S PAY AS LECTURER
Receives $3.50 For Each Speech and
Half Receipts Over $500.

On the eve of his departure fer his
summer speaking tour, Secretary Bry-
an took occasion to deny published
insinuations that he was using con-
nection with the Winona Conference
and Assembly of Winona to further
his own business of lecturing.
Mr.. Bryan denied that he is presi-
dent of this association, under the
auspices of which he is to deliver on
Sunday afternoon his first speech of
the summer mid-western series.
Mr.. Bryan told the newspaper men
that by his speech at Mountain Lake
park on Thursday he made $3.50 and
expenses. Last summer he said his
Chautauqua receipts averaged $3.50 for
each speech delivered. The usual ar
rangement, according to Mr.. Bryan, is
that he takes the first $3.50 brought
in at the gate, the Chautauqua asso-
citation takes the next $3.50 paid in
and then he and the association split
even all the rest.

KIM Alfonso Gets S5oo,ooo.

King Alfonso of Spain soon will be
able to enjoy a windfall of 100000
beuueathed to him by Albert Sapene,
formerly mayor of a small town near
Toulon, France, who died in an asy-
lum some time ago.
The civil court upheld the testator's
will, which his sister and other rela-
tives had sought to have set aside on
the plea that he was insane when he
made it. 1t was because he was an ar
dent royalist that the testator chose
King Alfonso as beneficiary.

department will suffer because Mr..
Bryan is occasionally away?"
SIT has been said, since this discus

the state department is better off with
the secretary away than with him
here. But I believe If the secretary
would give to the problems before him
the powers of his great intellect, he
could perform great service to the
country. Whether subordinates in his
department are better fitted to attend
to the duties than he, do not know"
Senator Fall suggested that If Sec

NO DESIRE HERE TO
DEFEAT CONCRESSMEN
Report Of Concerted Opposition to
Districts Critics
Denied.

A report that the citizens committee
appointed to resist in the Districts in
terest the repeal of the half -and-half
principle of the organic act was plan
ming to send out to the home districts
of congressman who favored the Crisp
bill and oppose their reelection was
Indignantly and vigorously denied by
w. II. Singleton, the chairman of that
committee. today. Mr.. Singleton said:
The report is untrue, and imputes
to the citizens committee colossal folly.
'The committee of representatives of
the Washington Board of Trade. Chamber
of Commerce and the Retail Merchants
Association originated in desire on the
part of those engaged to bring to the at
tention of the Congress the views of the
people of the District in relation to the
proposed repeal of the half-and-half prin-
ciple of the act of 1878.
Both in the resolutions adopted and
in the remarks made at the meeting of
this committee and the executive commit
tee appointed, the entire trend was to
express this desire in a calm and dis
passionate manner.
There was absolutely not a single
word written or said relative to any
special representative in his relation to
the matter. There was not even hint
that there should be any antagonism,
either here or elsewhere, against any
one who advocated the repeal of the
half-and-half principle.
1T was not even suggested that any
pressure from home should be brought
to bear upon any member Of Congress,
much less any statement, the most re-
mote, that any one should be opposed
for a reelection.
1.-The spirit was solely one of self
defense, and to secure fair play for the
District by bringing our position to the
attention of the President and the Con-
greSS."

Calamity, Declares Glass.

Il want the bill sent 10 conference"
lie said, because / am convinced that
as the bill has been completed by the
Senate it would not be a workable law. y
lie pointed out several provisions in the
Senate amendments which he said con-
flicted.
Mr. Glass attacked the bank reserve
requirements as amended by the Senate.
Under this provision, he said, 1.-The
Total reserves of the banks in the sys-
tenn, both In cash and in credit with
the reserve banks would be less than
they are at present holding in cash.
Within d few months under these pro-
visions we would have a saturnalia of
expansions-of wild imitation" He de-
clared the Senate guarantee provision
was mere pretense."
There are things in this bill which
would bring calamity to this country
and they ought not TO be allowed to be-
come law" he declared.
Majority Leader Underwood closed
the debate, declaring that the measure
should be sent to conference, and the
House lined up for a vote.
