to secure a delegation favorable to
this program is plausible. because Of

for prohibition and women's suffrage.

Bryan Seeks TO Control
Mississippi Delegation

Meridian, Miss, Nov. 13.-The seIec
ton of delegates to the Democratic
national convention next year, is go
ing to precipitate warm contest. ac-
cording to predictions being made in
this section, and one in which the pro
hibition, women's suffrage and Wilson
and Bryan may figure rather promi-
nently. A prominent politician here
states that every effort will be put
forth to select delegates to the nation
al convention, which can be control
led by W J. Bryan. and that certain
elements in the state are going to
give aid in this direction, principally.
it is said the prohibition and suffrage
advocates.
One reason for these efforts, it is
said is because of the battle being
waged for nationwide prohibition. and
the adoption Of national suffrage
plank for women, both of which Mr..
Bryan is known to favor. Through
the control of the Mississippi delega-
ton, together with other states. it is
said that Mr.. Bryan hopes 10 defeat
President Wilson for denomination
and at the same time nominate his
man With or without the prohibition
and suffrage planks, with their pos
sible adoption, under Bryan domina-
ton, in the Democratic platform
As far as prohibition is concerned,
1t is not believed that long search
will have to be made for delegation
of this kind. although some trouble
might be experienced in locating
woman's suffrage delegation, although
this has gained many followers
through the activity of the campaign
committee in this state The whole
plan, it is said, is designed to defeat
the denomination of Wilson for the
Presidency. No name has been men
toned as a possible nominee. except
that the idea is gaining ground that
Bryan himself will offer for the Pres,
idency.
According to if90rmation obtain.

WREckER EDITH CREW TO
 RETURN TO PUGET SOUND

Captain c. ". McAlullen. master of the lost freight steamship Edith, and thirty-dve members of the Edith's crew. arc expected to pass through Juneau on the Admiral Evans or the Mariposa, early next week, on their way to Seattle. Since they were res cued last Friday night and taken to Cordova. they have been waiting in the latter city for steamer to Seat tle.
 The Edith sank off Cape st. Elias at 70 o'clock Friday night, with 25o0 tons of LaTouche copper concen- trates. Her cargo shifted when tAe vessel encountered a heavy sea after rounding Cape Hinchinbrook. The vessel began to sink slowly, and S. O. S. calls of distress were sent out The Mariposa was the first to reach the scenes, although the United States torpedo boat destroyer Stew art. which was at Sitka, lost no time in leaving for the Westward. The Stewart turned back when she learn ed that the Mariposa had picked up the Edith's life boats, to which the crew was ordered by Capt. McMullen, when 1t was certain the Edith could not remain ahoat.
 Reports vary as to the value of the concentrates lost when the Edith foundered. Press messages from Cor dova say the copper was valued at S25O.OO0. Local mining men, howev- CT. say that the cargo was valued at about S1OO,OOO.

ITALIAN OFFERED
 S4ooOo TO SWING
 SOCIALISTS FOR PLACE

PARASITIC Rome Giornale dItalia publishes a statement issued "by di- rection of the Socialist party" alleg- ing an attempt to bribe Italian Social. ists to oppose Italy's entrance into the war.
 An accusatinon of corruption against Italian Socialists made by the Cri de Paris has evoked an explana- ton to the effect that on May 16 last a Zurich chemists named Nathan was presented at a Socialist council at Bologna by M Greulich, dean of the Swiss Socialists, as having just returned from the United States, charged with mission by an Ameri- can woman which should be inter est to Italian Socialists on account of the financial difficulties of the party.
 Nathan. asked to explain, is alleged to have said that an American woman living in Chicago. and @ well-known peace advocate. had charged him to offer from s2O.OO0 to S4O,OOO to aid a peace propaganda by the Italian So- cialists. Mir. Greulich was then close ly questioned and is alleged to have given the name of the Chicago wom- an concerned.
 The statement adds that the Social ists passed a resolution deploring M. Greulich's participation in the affair.

SACKED
 JUST A CENTURY AGO

WASHINGTON Aug. sO.- While the saclxing of cities in Europe has shocked the sensibilties of Ameri-
 he past year. it has not beon forgotten by Washingtonians chat the capital Of the United States was itself the scene of equally de- stSuctive vandalism 5ust 1o1 years ago. It was not proud day for eitn- CT England or America when the five thousand British raiders destroyed tue city of Washington. For President Madison with his wife and Cabinet was forced to flee into tho country and SO into hiding. Valuable rec ords were hurriedly loaded into wa gons and hidden in mills and cellars in Virginia and Maryland.
 The war of 1872 had been waged for two years. when fleet of sixty British warshlps entered Chesapeake bay. In command were Admiral Cockburn and General Ross. The de- fense of Washington by the American troops was made at Blandenaburg, but through interference with the plans Of General Winder and his staff. the efficiency of the samall force was reduced to woeful disorder.
 The British troopers entered Wash ington on the afternoon of August 24. 1874. and at once began the pil- lage. Admiral Cockburn enjoyed che destruction. galloplng about on Q white horse. The unfinish Capitol, the arsenal. the White House. the barracks. the treasury building and other public structures were burned. General Ross attributed the firing Of these buildings to revenge for snip ing. The patent office was sapared.
 Danced In Tapestry
 At the White House the British ot- ficers disported themselves. They danced about in Mrs. Madison's ball gowns and in wall tapeshtries and vel vet curtains. Then they smashed the furniture and had an all-round good time their feelings mounting high from the contents of the wine cellar. The torch was set on the executive mansion at the wind-uyp of the orgy.
 Before midnight the invaders had done their work. and began to with draw. As they passed the grave Of George Washington at Mount Vernon. Admiral Cockburn halted his com mand and made them stand reverent- ly with uncovered heads. while the British standards were dipped in hon. or of the patriots memory.
 The entire country was aroused ov- CT the act Of the British commanders in sacling the city of Washington. The war was pushed with unusual bitterness and forced to @ successful conclusion. It was another instance when America aroused herself to the evils confronting any conquest on her shores.
