WASHINGTON, Dec 22-(Special Tele-
gram }--"'You interest me-" said Secre-
tary Bryan today when he was informed
Senator Hitchcock had recommended the
appointment of John c. Byrnes of Column
bus for the position of collector of in
ternal revenue. You may say that am
interested, but that so far as any COM
ment on the. recommendation is concerned
please say that Mr.. Bryan has nothing to
suggest"
Here is written another effort to get the
democrats of Nebraska together but
seemingly without avail
There Is a story current that Senator
Hitchcock wrote a letter to President
Wilson. detailing how he had tried to
bring about peace with Secretary Bryan
over federal patronage affecting Me-
braska, but the premier had turned down
Lbs recommendations Until now tired
of fiShting nc had offered another COM
promise to tho secretary OF the treasury
that he transmit the name Of John C.
Byrnes for collector of internal revenue
to the president for nomination TO the
senate.
When Senator Hitchcock suggested a
compromise for collector of internal reve-
nue. he had in his possession a letter from
mis- friend, Chris Gruenther stating that
! any solution OF the patronage problem
would be acceptable. and accordingly
! made the recommendation In favor OF
John c. Byrnes.

Moorhead Department
NOORHEAD WILL NOT
HELP REPAIR FARGO'S Dam

The dam which the city Of Fargo
erected several years ago of
the dry season n consequent low
stage of the river. must be repaired by
them, according to Mayor Beck.
Moorhead has always kept the foot
bridge in repair-taken it up in high
water and replaced it when the water
receded and Fargo las never helped,
and Mayor Beck does not see any reas-
on why the city should pay out it's
money to repair a purely Fargo pro-
ject.
Il have noticed that the Fargo pa
pers are saying that Moorhead will re-
pair the dan on it's side Of the river"
said Mayor Beck yesterday. Now I
am not aware Of any authority for
making such a statement; l am deter
mined, so far as I am personally con-
cerned, to continue the policy fixed by
the previous administrations; that ad-
ministration, after a careful study Of
the matter, declined to have anything
to do with the building Of the dam.
Fargo built the dam. l do not doubt
that the reasons for declining to
help build the dam were safe and
sound, and I believe that the same
will apply against u assum-
ing the responsibility Of repairing
the dam.
"Moorhead has never asked Fargo
to help maintain the foot bridge at
the dam. We take that up when
danger threatens and replace it at
our w expense, and have done 1t
for years, and I believe that Moor
head is doing her share as a sister
city.
$50 far as I am personally con-
cerned I will not order the repairs
made"

This ideal weather Is bringing record
crowds to the city. That there has
been no more disorder reflects
credit on the police department.
Fred w. Altenbernd n family were
state fair visitors in the city yesterday.
Mrs. Louis Nelson and children Of
Lake Park are spending a few days at
Mrs. Nelson's home.
The display Of the Moorhead Hard
ware Co., in the poultry building at the
state fair is attracting much interest.
The weekly meetings Of the Moor
head Gun club have started. They will
continue until h hunting season
opens.
William Lamb of Harvey is spending
a few days as the guest Of his brother,
P. H. Lamb.
Great Northern special yesterday states
that over 500 tickets were sold for the
train.
Every tent which the Wright factory
had on hand Is in use at the state
fair. Even the largest they could pro-
duce were in great demand.
The graduation exercises Of the sum-
mer school were held at the normal
this morning. A class of fifty received
diplomas.
Mayor Beck does not favor the idea
of Moorhead paying half the upkeep Of
Fargo's dam. 1t Is purely a Fargo pro-
ject.
e. E. Sharp and H. H. Hanson left
for Duluth last evening, where they
will attend the state meeting Of the

theory that no man should make more
than he can use.
In doing this their measures are
usually SO drastic that they overstep
the mark and make conditions such
that it makes it impossible for many
of the smaller men to make enough for
them to use. This is one Of their car
dinal failures.
THE country has not been alto
gether satisfied with President Wilson's
policy of watchful waiting with the
Mexican situation. While the people
believe in his sincerity, still they feel
his attitude in refusing to recognize
a head to the Mexican government has
not been the best.
THE president is somewhat scholas-
tic and high in his ideals. He felt that
by recognizing a man like Huerta he
would be co~untenancing murder, plum
der and vice Of that description. So
in his refusal to recognize Huerta, he
was compelled to recognize men of
worse characters, who were outlaws
and criminals of a more ferocious type
than Huerta. such as the Villa sort. By
necessity he has had to recognize
somebody somewhere in connection
with the Mexican government, SO it
has been men Of this stamp"

MAKES A
SPEECH
AT TRIAL

Paris, July 24.-Pascal Ceccaldi, an
intimate friend of Joseph Caillaux was
the first witness at today's session of
the Caillaux murder trial. Ceccaldi
amazed those in court by giving his
testimony In the form of a speech in
which he reviewed the political and
newspaper attacks on the former
premier. His auditors meanwhile kept
up a continuous murmur Of protest or
approval.
The protests caused Ceccaldi to
shout: IF I defend M. Caillaux, 1t is
because he is an honest man." Geo
caldi made an impassioned defense of
the CaiElaux family.
He described Nine. Caillaux' efforts
to restrain her husband from assum-
ing political power as she was of the
opinion that his keeping out of the
government was the only way in
which they could expect to have peace
in their life. Caillaux, seated among
the witnesses and journalists in the
crowded court room, followed atten-
lively his friendly ~panegyric, nodding
his head in approval and occasionally
casting a glance at the courtroom as
though measuring the effect Of the
witness words. Nine. Caillaux in
the. prison enclosure presented a sor-
rowful figure. In her eyes was a look
OF bewilderment and seeming terror.

LADIES OF
NOBILITY
ARRESTED

London, July 24.-Two s~uffragets
belonging to the British nobility, Lady
Barclay and the Hon. Miss Edith Fitz-
gerald were arrested at Buckingham
palace, where they made persistent
attempts to present to King George a
letter written to his majesty by Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst. The letter de-
manded a personal interview with the
king, and said the suffragets should
be given the same right to an inter
view as certain militant men, namely,
Sir Edward Carson, Capt. James
Craig, John Dillon, John e. Redmond,
who had, it was pointed out, been in
vited to Buckingham palace by the
king on his own initiative.
The attendants at the palace, recog-
nizing Lady Barclay, made every eff
fort to persuade her and Miss Fftz-
gerald to leave without persisting in
demanding an audience with the king.
The women refused to listen, and the
attendants summoned the police.
