Mr.. BRYAN INCENSED
At NEWSPAPER Offer
Refuses to Comment on Proposition to
Pay Him $4,000 a Year if He
Will Quit Lecturing.

Secretary of State Bryan yesterday re-
fused to comment on the offer made 10
him by the New York World to pay him
IS, 600 a year, on condition that he devote
all his time TO his duties, and refrain from
delivering any lectures for hire. 1t was
apparent, however, that Mr.. Bryan was
highly displeased that such an offer
should have been published by the news
paper in question.
In administra ton circles the general
disposition was to regard the offer as a
deliberate attempt to humiliate Mr..
Bryan. Though not willing to talk for
publication, officials indicated that they
regarded as serious the fact that the
newspaper which has been regarded in
Washington as the most ardent admins
tration paper in New York should have
reached the point where it was willing to
take such a drastic step expressing its
disapproval of Mr.. Bryan's conduct in
Office.
Mr. Bryan got in early yesterday from
Staunton, Va, where he spoke Tuesday
night, and was here all day. Today he
appears at Richmond in the afternoon
and at Charlottesville in the evening.
At the Capitol the news of the offer
by the World to supplement Secretary
Bryan's salary by an 5000 annual dona-
ton was received with laughter by the
and Progressives, whereas
the Democratic rec otion Of the news
was with decidedly mixed sentiment.
Representative Victor Murdock, the
Progressive leader. and himself head
liner OH the Western wheel of the
Chautauqua sho-- system, refused to dis
cuss the matter, but remarked that he
was tired. not only of the Secretary of
State, but of his would-be benefactor
as well.
Representative L. E. Dyer of Missouri
thinks that the newspaper is supergen-
erous.
It's killing. isn't it, the way that pa
per wants to spend its money? re-
marked Mr.. Dyer. TWhy, it's only three
months ago that they paid. Col MulhalI
$4,000 TO talk. and now they are offer
ing Mr.. Bryan almost as much to stop
talking. You can't please some people,
try as you will"

SCHOOL OFFICERS Plan
loan" INVESTIGATION
Sending of Letters to Pupils at Places
of Instruction Will Lead
to Arrest.
COURTS DECISION IS AWAITED

School officials in this city, stirred by
the exposure yesterday by The Washing
ton Herald of methods of Washington
loan" companies in pursuit Of possible
borrowers, asserted last night that every
precaution would be taken against per-
mitting the circulation among school
children OF circular letters suggesting
loans without publicity"
The school officers can not prosecute
loan" men who send letters TO homes
of children, but they say that if attempt
is made to reach the children through
the schools arrests will follow.
Denial was made yesterday that letters
had been sent to children knowingly
1t was not denied that such letters had
been sent. nor could denial be obtained
that the companies were ''loaning" money
at rates of interest never less than 10
per cent a month.
o The supposed manager OF a Washing
ton loan company, in denying that let
ters had been sent knowingly" TO
children, did not deny that letters had
been sent TO minors whose names are not
in any directory published in this city.
There are at the office OF The Herald
letters that have been sent to girls whose
names never have appeared in any direc-
tory.
When decision is made by the Court of
Appeals as to the constitutionality Of the
loan shark" law, prosecutions now pend
ing will be hastened. it was said yester-
day at the District Building. II the
decision is unfavorable- the case will be
carried to the Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States.

AMERICAN ATTORNEY
after JUDGE THAYER
John F. Curtis, Of Shanghai, Files
Charges Against Extra Terri
torial Court Justice.
WITNESS ALLEGES GRATING

John F. Curtis. an American lawyer ut
Shanghai. China, before the House Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Depart
ment of Justice, yesterday further de-
tailed to the committee a series Of
charges he has drawn up against United
States Judge Thayer. of the Extra Terri
torial Court at Shanghai. Judge Thayer
probably will be given a hearing by the
committee later. A friend OF Judge
Thayer appeared in the judges behalf at
the hearing.
Curtis declared that Judge Thayer, al
though his duties were to hold court at
cities in China, leased a bungalow near
Kobe. Japan. and remained a long period
there and his salary certificates were
signed to make IL appear that the judge
was still In China. Curtis criticized the
consular court at Shanghai, saying il
was inefficient.
Out of total period of three years, ac-
cording to Curtis. Judge Thayer was alb
sent from his post of duty one year and
four months. Curtis said he had vouch-
ers TO show that Thayer collected
s6,2e.14, which he should not have re-
ceived. He said Judge Thayer charged
80 expenses for a trip to Hongkong.
which was out of his Jurisdiction.
Under Judge Thayer's administration of
the court, Curtis said, there had been
grafting by court officials on the estates
of Americans who died interstate in
Shanghai. Curtis did not blame Thayer
for the grating, but declared the judge
ii, and that the judges de-
cision holding that he had jurisdiction
over these estates was the cause OF the
trouble.
Curtis cited the case of Allie Duncan.
whose real name was Gonzales. He said
that when she died the stenographer of
Judge Thayer's court took charge of the
estate, having received an appointment
by Cablegram from Judge Thayer, then
in England. Curtis said he had sued the
estate in behalf of a Chinese furniture
dealer but was unsuccessful and his
client was defrauded.

FREE LIST Completed
BY TARIFF CONFEREES
Still in Deadlock Over Question of
CounterVailing Duties on Wheat,
Flour, and Potatoes.

Conferees on the tariff bill completed
the free list yesterday, and returning to
the first schedule-chemicals- consider
paragraphs that were passed over pro-
ceeded as far as the steel schedule be-
fore adjournment last night. The con-
ferees were unable to settle the question
relating to free art. and are still in dead
lock over the question of countervaiIing
duties on wheat, flour. and potatoes.
But the conferees eliminated one dis
puted point when they agreed that pho
tOgraphic and moving picture films, SEN
sitized but exposed, should remain or the
free list, where the Senate placed them.
The Senate also agreed to the amend
ment authorizing the Secretary of the
Treasury to exercise a censorship over
moving picture films brought into the
United States. In connection with .he
paragraph In the free list relating to mov-
ing picture films the conferees also agreed
on a paragraph in the sundries schedule
which placed a duty of Is per cent on
Photographic cameras and dry plates. A
reduction was made in the specific rates
prescribed by the Senate for moving pic
ture films.
1t is generally understood that all
points of dispute in the metal schedule
have been settled, except ferro-man-
ganese- 1t was the opinion yesterday
that this article would finally carry a
small duty. Pig iron was put on the free
list.
The conferees have accepted the Sem
ate duties on cattle and sheep, but are
in disagreement over the form of meat
inspection provision. Glaziers' diamonds
were put on the free list It has been
tentatively agreed that oil-press cloths,
made OF camel's hair. which the House
put on the free list and the Senate made
dutiable. shall be restored to the free
list along with grain bags made of tute.
II developed that at the morning session
Of the conference the House conferees
made determined stand in favor Of a
duty OF 10 cents a bushel on wheat, but
were ready to agree to report putting
flour on the free list
The conferees on the tariff bill dis
covered yesterday that by giving out their
as to rates they had invited
a fresh onslaught from the representa-
tives of industries affected thereby in a
final effort to bring about changes in the
bill. Although hearings have been denied
them. Senators and Representatives have
been appealed to and have been coming
before the committee almost daily.
Chairman Simmons announced that it
would be the policy Of the conferees here
after not to make public any conclusions
as to rates or as to details of the bill
until the entire report is submitted in
Congress.
With only three days remaining Of the
present week. the conferees are not so
that their work will be com-
pleted by Saturday night. II is not im-
probable that the conference may be pros
jected into next week and last until
Wednesday or Thursday.

and STATE
POWERS in CONFLICT
Important Issue at Stake in Shreve-
port Rate Case, Now Before
Supreme Court.
DECISION ANxIoUSLY AWAITED

Briefs in the Shreveport rate case"
wherein for the first time there is actual
conflict between Federal and State au-
thorities on a question of interstate rates.
were filed in the United States Supreme
Court yesterday. This conflict, though
the important issue in the Minnesota
rate case, was not decided in that case,
but was deferred by the United States
Supreme Court, il is held by many au-
thorities. The case will be argued at
the fall term.
The briefs submitted in behalf of
Southwestern railroads interested attack
the orders of the Interstate Commerce
Commission directing railroads running
through Louisiana into Texas to reduce
rates from Shreveport, La, to points in
Texas, or to increase'the rates for hauls
covering the same distance between
points wholly within Texas to the level
of the interstate rate.
The railroads rest their resistance to
the order on the Supreme Courts opinion
in the Minnesota case. There it was
held that the States authorities could, in
the absence of an assertion OF control by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
prescribe rates between points wholly
within the State, even If such rates
should be lower than those for a cor
responding haul over the same railroad
in interstate commerce. The Supreme
Court held that so long as the rate pre-
sCribed by the Minnesota authorities was
not so low as TO be confiscatory the court
would not enjoin it as a burden upon
interstate commerce solely because II was
lower than for a corresponding haul in
interstate commerce.
In the Minnesota case the significant
point was that the Interstate Commerce
Commission never had sought TO exercise
control over the Minnesota situation and
had never passed on the question Of the
''reasonableness' of the interstate rate
cited for comparison, nor had the Inter
state Commerce Commission ever been
called on to pass on the question whether
the rate fixed by the State Of Minnesota
would have been a discrimination, IL
observed, by the roads, against interstate
shippers.
The Texas Railway Commission made
a rate so low between points wholly
within Texas that business that had gone
to Shreveport, La, was diverted to
Dallas, Tex The Interstate Commerce
Commission by a divided and close vote
held this to be a discrimination, and while
not assuming TO nullify the Teaxs Rail-
way Commissions order, issued an order
effective against the railroads involved,
which were interstate carriers, requiring
them to desist from the discrimination.
The railroads resisted this order on the
ground that they could not obey il with
out violating the Texas Railway Com
order and mourning the penal
ties

SECRET SERVICE THINKS
SCHMIDT MAN THEY WANT

Acting Chief Moran OF the Secret
Service yesterday received word from his
agents in New York that the Rev. Hans
Schmidt and DR.. Ernest A. Muret bear
close resemblance TO two "passers"
for whom the Secret Service has been
searching for months, and who have
been passing the only spurious twenty
dollar notes known to be in circulation.
Moran also received word that no
bills have been printed from the plate
found in Murets rooms, and that a
sea rch has failed to reveal any COM
pleted counterfeit notes in Schmidts or
Muret's possession. The New York
agents reported that their inquiry thus
far leads to the belief that Schmidt
and Muret had not gone beyond the
experimental stage in counterfeiting.
But these birds may have feathered
another nest which my men have not
found" said Moran.

FORMAL TRANSFER MADE
OF Church PROPERTY.
Central Presbyterian Edi6ce at Third
and Streets to Be Occupied by
Mount CARMEL Bapists.
NEW LOCATION SECURED

The Central Presbyterian Church, at
Third and 1 Streets Northwest which
President Wilson attends, has been sold
to the Mount CARMEL Baptist Church,
colored, now at Fourth and l. Streets
Northwest. The transfer was recorded
yesterday. The new proprietors will take
possession within two or three months.
The Central Presbyterian Church was
organized by the Rev. A. W. Pitzer in
May, 1865. and the present building was
completed in 1885. For the past few
years, the drift of the congregation has
been away from Third and l Streets, and
this movement became so pronounced
that in 1903. the Central Presbyterian
Church secured property on Columbia
Heights. and Immediately began work.
In 1911, the property at Thirteenth and
Monroe Streets, originally secured, was
given up and a new site purchased on
the southeast corner of Sixteenth and
Irving Streets. A portable chapel, which
had been used prior to this date. was
moved to the new site.
II has been the intention OF the church
ever since work in Columbia Heights was
begun in 1909 to build on a new site, but
until some disposition could be made of
the property at Third and l Streets, this
plan could not be carried out.
On March . 1918, the congregation ap-
proved a report of the committee in
charge of the work in Columbia Heights
10 obtain plans for a suitable building,
and. also, to negotiate the Sale of the old
An offer for the property had
been received, which the congregation
approved on May II. 1t further ordered
hat specifications for the new building
De obtained. The present sale, therefore,
S the outcome Of a plan adopted more
han four years ago, which was made
necessary by the removal of a large part
II the congregation to the rapidly-grow-
ng residential Northwest section.
The new building to be erected at Six
.eenth and Irving Streets. facing on Six
teenth Street, is to be a colonial
structure of tapestry brick, with stone
in front. II will have an audi
grium of seating capacity for 500. The
Sunday school room will be in the base
nent, with seven or more classrooms,
md other modern facilities for Sunday
school work.
The architect is Appleton P. Clark, jr,
Who's designed the Foundry Methodist,
he Washington Heights, Metropolitan
Saptist, and other churches. The new
building will cost about $500. The
property at Third and Streets sold at
20, 900.
The Central Presbyterian Church con-
