the soHcitude of William Jen-
\ nings Bryan concerning jobs for
deserving Democrats" has ex-
tended beyond the shores of the
United States to Santo Domingo-at
the expense OF the people of Santo
Domingo.
Letters dug up by the Investigators
OF the Dominican scandal show clearly
the unprincipled methods in force in
the State Department at Washington
/ One letter, read into the official record
was written by Secretary Bryan Ia
Walker W. Wick, assistant secretary OF
the Democratic committee, shortly af-
ter Mr.. Wick became American Re-
ceiver of Dominican Customs. The
jobs which Receiver Wick might have
had at his disposal happened not to
! be within the reach of Secretary
| Bryan. since the receivership of Do
minican Customs is administered by
the Insular Bureau of the War De-
partment. But just the same, Mr.
Bryan wanted all the available patron
age. Finally, when Wick explained
this circumstance TO Mr.. Bryan, the
Secretary Of State, independently OF
the receiver. found jobs for his de
serving Democrats"
Just how Mr.. Bryan's "disinterested
I friendships" work out in theory and
in practice is seen by the following let.
ters. The first was written by Mr.
( Bryan in a signed article to the Tam.

Mary Barrett Wins Action
Against Perth Amboy Dry
Dock Co. for Damages.
Special to the EHENrNo NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS
New Brunswick, June 1S:-Mary
Barrett and four of her children
were allowed compensation in the
amount of $3.50, together with
500 for funeral expenses and one
half Of the actual cost of the case,
against the Perth Amboy Dry Dock
Company, when an employers liabil-
ity action for the death of her hus-
band was tried before Judge Peter
F. Daily here today. She sets forth
that her husband was drowned at
the Perth Amboy dry dock plant on
April "a, when he was in the act of
handling a hose. Thomas Brown
appeared as counsel for the petition
ers and stephen F. Somogyi repre-
sented the dry dock company
Barrett is survived by widow
and six children, one of whom is
married and another of whom Is too
old to benefit from compensation.
He was earning SO day at the time
of the accident Under the decree
of the court the widow and the fol-
lowing children will benefit from the
compensation allowed: Sarah, twelve
years old; Helen, ten; William,
eight, and James, four. That these
were dependent upon Barrett was
conceded by the defense.
After Mrs. Barrett and Charles D.
Snedeker, the latter secretary and
treasurer of the dry dock company,
had been sworn to testify, the court
allowed compensation at the rate of
fifty-five per cent. of the wages re-
ceived for 800 weeks. This makes
total of 1880 The money will
be paid in weekly installments and
the order of the court will be modi-
fed if any of the beneiiciaries should
become old enough to work and pro-
vide for themselves. Evidence at
hand showed that the defendant
company had of its own accord head
ed a petition for $25 to help Mrs.
Barrett and her children following
the accident For this reason the
court would not hold that the COM
pany should pay the total costs. 1t
did decree, however, that it should
pay funeral expenses and one-half of
actual expenses for bringing the case
before the court.

bitration and education-was an
nounced by the former secretary of
state here today 1t is the third and
last installment in Bryan's discus
sion of the "causeless" war. Bryan
divides his remedy, like his whole
discussion, into three parts.
He advises as the first step joint
and several offers of mediation by
the United States and other neu-
trails. This offer. he said, should be
made time after time until some one
accedes to the suggestion.
Next, he urges the utilization OF
the Bryan peace treaty plan = one
years investigation of international
disputes which would allow pas
sion to subside and reason to resume
its way"
As the third step and most I'M
portant, he suggests a world wide
campaign of peace education-"the

ment: Thou shalt love they neighbor

TESTS NEW GAS BOMB.
American Inventor Tries Out His
Chemicals on Condemned Cattle.


Chemicals on Condemned Cattle.
Chicago.-A series of exhaustive ex-
periments are being conducted at Fort
Sheridan, under the supervision Of
United States army officers, with the
chemical bomb recently invented by
DR.. L. R. Fowzer Condemned cattle
are the subjects. DR.. Fowzer declares
their death will be instantaneous.
A representative of the war depart
ment conferred with Dr. Fowzer, and
It developed that government chemists
have been working for year to per-
feet bomb almost identical with Dr..
Fowzer's.
II would not be afraid to tell any
one everything used in the bomb" said
Dr. Fowzer, "and defy production of
the bomb. The manufacturing process
Is the secret. I am glad the United
States government is Investigating my
bomb. This country can have 1t for q
tithe of what 1t would cost any foreign
nation.
MY bomb will accomplish more to-
ward eliminating war than your pleas
for peace. When science succeeds in
making war so deadly that men will
reco1l from it in horror then peace will
have made gigantic strides"
While Dr. Fowzer's claim pertains
only to the chemical properties of the
bomb, the method of loading and shoot
ing 1t from a cannon Is something
which he expects will require consider

ever, seems to have already been solved
