COPENHAGEN. Denmark. July Is
King Christian X is becoming SO
noted for his disregard Of court cere-
monial and precedent that he Is being
constantly compared to President VII

To prevent towns from incurring the
experYa Of festival decorations. big BAN
qu1.s and the usual formalities incident
to the visits OF royalty. the King keeps
secret the itineraries Of his frequent
cruises and lands at a town without
Informing the authorities Of his arrival.
Formri court affairs are limited, so far
as possible. arI he is very fond of
reoeiving his friends like an ordinary
citiSen.
Lately he invited fifty OF his old
schoolmates to the palace, and, knowing
that some Of them were coming from a
distance. he requested them not to 60
10 the trouble Of wearing evening dress.
After reception attended by the
Queen, from which all ceremony was
banished, the ladies Of the party retired
and the men gathered about an enor-
NOUS punch bowl. The sort of celebra-
tion dear TO the heart OF the Danish
student was then held.
The King added greatly to the spirit
of the evening by his humorous speech
es. delivered in the student manner.

House After Bryan for
His Poverty" Plea

Congressman Willis. an Ohio Repub-
lican. says he feels constrained to
call to the attention of the House Sec
retary Bryan's Chautauqua platform
statement that he cannot live on his
salary of $4,000 a year.
This is a statement which should
be spread upon the pages of the con-
gressional Record" said Mr.. Willis.
IT wonder what the country will think
of it, Undoubtedly the members of
the House should have their atten-
tion directed to this remarkable
statement, and II nobody else will air
the distressing state of affairs I'll do
so myself at the first opportunity"
1t IL generally reported that Repub-
lican members of the House are "go-
ing cunning" for the Secretary of
State, and upon the first occasion
where general debate Is permissible

tai of the poverty" of the Nebraskan.

the automobile. he Is his own driver.
Mr.. Bryan for the past twenty years
has been relying largely on the income
from his lecture engagements as his
Of State, feeling that he has not suffi-
cfent income to support himself in
proper Washington style. along with the
Nebraska estate expense, he Is still do
Ing the lecture work.
Insists On Accuracy.
The Secretary Of State Is a stickier
for accurate expense accounts. When
travelling for the Government there are
many items which the Secretary pays
out Of his own pockets and which
legitimately should be paid out Of Gov
ernment funds. The best illustration
pense account Is had in the trip the
Secretary Of State made to California
When he went to Sacramento to try
to adjust the Acknowledgements dis
pute. Mr.. Bryan took with him Robert
Rose as his private secretary. Aside
pense account was just $1S1. This In
cluded hotel bills and other expenses In
cident to a trip of ten days or two
weeks. This expense account included
Mr.. Roses.
On that trip the Secretary Of State
spent considerable of his own money in
sending kilograms On official business.
II Is said. At the State Department to-
day Ii was said that the Secretary OF
state cuts expenses to the bone on every
trip In the same way.
Wealthy Secretaries.
Secretaries of State John Hay, Robert
Bacon and Philander c. Knox were all
wealthy. All maintained expensive es-
in Washington and spent
much of their own fortunes.
Mr.. Knox paid 1900 year for his
home on X street. He maintained three
expensive motor cars and had his own
the State Department. Mr.. Bacon had
an expensive establishment. Mr.. Hays
home on the corner Of II street and the
Avenue Of the Presidents was one Of
the most expensive and biggest homes
In the city.

general fight was narrowly averted at

over a bunch of field hands awaiting

from Ellinwood. You don't want to
go tc st John. Come to Fllinwood.
You have heard OF Eilinwood. haven't
you? Well. it's a mighty fne place to

Most of the men said they had heard
of Eilinwood and declared that. after
all, they would rather work there. In
the meantime. the man from st. john

Soon q farmer from Barton county

BRYAN IS SILENT
ON MEXICO REPORT
Rumor That European Nation
Tries to Force Recognition
Discussed at Cabinet.

Secretary Bryan today refused to at
firm or deny a report to the effect that
a representative Of one of the great
powers OF Europe had called upon the
American Government to either recog-
nize the Huerta government In Mexico
or assume full responsibility for bring
ing the present crisis in Mexico to m
end. It is reported that the matter was
laid before the Secretary by the rep
resentative of either England or Ger
many, and followed concerted action
recently in Mexico City among the rep
resentatives of foreign powers
, Secretary Bryan refused to diseus
the report in any way. 1t came UP at
the Cabinet meeting this afternoon,
conference with tlie President. the Sec
retary Of War. Mr. Garrison, WIFI can
on the President tonight at 8 O'Clock.
Prepares for Departure.
Mr.. Garrison declares, however, that
the purpose Of his call win not be to
discuss the Mexican question. but to
discuss matters relating to the Philip
pine Islands prior to his departure to-
morrow for his tour Of Western army
posts.
Al the same time MT. Garrison admit
Ueu az Achoo Sses 'S
yestigate conditions along the border,
and perhaps arrive at some CONCLUSION
regarding how long the troops will be
kept On the border.
Both the White House and the State
pepartipe mt have affected an air OF I'M
concern regarding the Mexican situa-
ton. but 1t is believed that the repre-
sentations Of the foreign powers. II
true. have changed this attitude some
what. and are responsible for the con-
ference this afternoon between MT.
BRYAN and the President. 1t ts also
probable that the President and Mr.
BRYAN will likewise discuss the Amer
lean reply to the japanese note regard
ing the California anti-alien land ques-
ton, for recent reported developments
have brought the Mexican and japanese
questions into closer relationship.
Manila Predicts War.
Manila papers are carrying editorials
openly predicting an outbreak of war
between this country and japan in jan
nary. and declaring that the scene of
the contest will be in the Philippines.
ON the other hand. reports persist In
coming from Mexico REGARDING the
growth Of pro-Iapanese sentiment below
the Rio Grande.
While the War Department reported
today 10 further news from the border,
1t is known that the troops there. with
the four warships now in the vicinity
OF Mexico, are IN readiness at any time
for intery ention.
