BRYAN WANTS NO RAISE
Opposes Increase in Salary and
Will Stick to Lectures.
I IN TeleEraph to ND Tribune.

Mountain Lake Park, Md, July IL
Secretary Bryan. in lecture here this
afternoon, said he did not advocate an
increase in the salary of the Secretary
Of State. He said that the $4,000 he
received was sufficient to meet all the
expenses incurred in the home and off
cial life of an ordinary Secretary of
State.
Mr.. Bryan added. however. that he
had certain fixed charges and that his
salary was not large enough to meet
these. Therefore. he found it necessary
t. take the lecture platform. He also
asserted that every public man in
Washington knew that he was not lect-
uring for the purpose Of increasing his
present accumulations.
Under ordinary circumstances. he
held $4,000 10 be enough salary for A
man. but should that man be Secretary
Of state and in need Of larger income
he should not ask it OF the people. but
should go out and work for it,
Secretary Bryan said he had no idea
of giving up his lectures. but that
everything was arranged so he could
stcp at any time and return at once to
Washington.

Washington. July 17.-On the highest
authority. the Tribune correspondent
is able to make an explicit statement
Of the attitude Of the government Of
the United States toward Mexico and to
explain the administration policy. so

There is absolute confirmation Of the
report that the diplomatic represent

impressions Of the situation 10 their

Situation Not Improving.
While the state Departments infor-

confusing. it is certain that the general
situation is not improving. Reports
from Durango reveal dangerous state

statement issued at the department to-
day:
"A telegram from Durango. dated
July .. has been received AT the State
Department. indicating dcpiorable CON

Directors Announce News.

The directors adjourned the meeting
at $40 O'Clock. The first intimation OF
what had happened inside came with
this announcement from Mr. Mellen,
given out by Edward G. Riggs, his eX-
ecutive assistant:
Mr.. Mellen at a meeting Of his
board of directors to-day rendered his
resignation of the presidency Of the
New Haven and all its subsidiary COM
panies. to take effect at the pleasure
Of the board, but in any event not
later than october !, 1919
This four-line typewriter explana-
ton Of what had happened was hand
ed 10 the newspaper men about
o'clock. The reporters at once besieged
Mr.. Mellens private Office, on the third
floor Of the Terminal Building. His
secretaries came back, saying that Mr.
Mellen would have no further eXplana-
ton of his withdrawal. When it was
explained that in view Of his own
statement issued last week that ne
would not get out of the New Haven
some statement from him as TO his
reasons for resigning was necessary
Mr.. Mellen sent for Mr.. Riggs. After
a five minute conference the executive
secretary came out and said that Mr..
Mellen had fatty refused TO add any
thing 10 what he had already author
lied him to give to'the press.
Won't Mr. Mellen consent TO see
two reporters?" he was asked.
Mr.. Melen will not see reporters.
He stands squarely on the statement
replied Mr.. Riggs.
Has his resignation been accepted
yet?"
There is positively nothing more to
be said by Mr.. Mellen," was the reply.
Has Mr.. Mellen resigned from the
irectorate?" some one asked.

When the continuation OF the exam
ination began Miss Macarthur resumed
the witness stand and Terence j. Nc
Nanus. Mrs. Tatum's lawyer, took up
his cross examination left off from the
week before.
"Mv mother came to see me at Mrs.

Mr.. McManus tried to have the wit

the result Of dscoloration caused by
defective blood circulation. such as the
girl admitted had made black and blue
rings under her eyes.
Failing In this. the lawyer produced
letters written by Miss Macarthur TO
members of the family of Mr. Peters,

into the engagement.
