the proposal to sell the Copper River & Northwest

The idea of government ownership of any

But times change. just the resning J.

| LANS|NG'S NAME WILL BE
SIGNED TO AMERICAN NOTE

that the position of Mr.. Bryan in the
cabinet recently has become very embar-
rassing--his advocacy of peace being SO
pronounced that other members of the
cabinet, who felt the United States
should assert its policy, irrespective OF
the consequences, We're understood to
have on one occasion declared their in
tention of resgning ii policy of firm
ness and vigor was not adopted.
The real disagreement dates back to
the famous session Of the cabinet when
the note OF May l3. after the sinking OF
the Iusitania, was drafted, informing
Germany that the United States wouiu
not omit amy word or any act" to pro-
tect its rights. At that time Mr.. Bryan
made speech counselling peaceful meas
ures and cautious action. He gave his
consent to signing the note only after II
was tentatively arranged that q ssate.
ment at the White House should be is
sued and transmitted to the German gov
ernment announcing that inasmuch as
Germany had accepted the principle of
the peace treaties negotiated between the
United States and other countries, diff
ferences between the two nations might
be adjusted by commission OF nvesti-
CATION. Opposition to this course was
most vehement in some ca abinet quarters,
and the president, after having considered
at length Mr.. Bryan's suggestion, finally
it at the hour the note was
sent. Some cabinet officers argued that
such an appendix on the note OF May I3
would be construed as weakening OF |
The American position; and their counsel
prevailed.
Since then the official relations tf Mr.. |
Bryan with the president and the other
'ablnet officers have been somewhat
strained, although the closest personal
friendship has been maintained. Officials
Il the administration were unanimous in
heir expressions of personal regret. Sec.
etary Tumulty issue statement to
hat effect. and the president reflected
he same sentiment in his letter Ad-
niration and praise for the coura geous
manner in which Mr. Bryan had fought
or and held to his convictions were ex-
fessed by officials on every side, includ-
1g those who had been most vigorous in ,
heir opposition to his policies.

One Young Man Placed on Probation BY
Judge Scott.

Arthur stephens, a l7year'old youth
for whom the police have been searchin.
since May @, surrendered himself to the
police last night and q warrant issued by
Grand Juror William Wishart and charg
| ing him with burglary was served by
Officer John w. Dineen. This morning
the respondent appeared in court with his
guardian and pleaded guilty to the
charge. The officers claim that he broke
into house in the north end more than
IA month ago and took quantity of beer
away with him. Fear of detection, the
police claim. prompted the fellow to re-
main secluded during the day. After Civ
ing him a sound lecture regarding his
past conduct and the manner in which he
should acquit himself in the future, Mag
istrate III. w. Scott remanded the youth
to the care of his guardian and suspend
ed execution of sentence for month, in.
structing him to report each week to
Chief Sinclair.
Victor DIAM, the Foss street man who
pleaded not guilty to charge of imped
ing an officer in city court yesterday,
changed his mind about going to Jail in
lieu of bail for his appearance at a hear
ing Saturday, and succeeded in securing
bondsman in the sum of 81 900. He was
released. Officers directly concerned with
Diani's detention claim that he was ar
rested for interfering with the deputies
who tried to take in custody a woman,
and that the alleged interference with
the arrest of Il. Beltram occurred before
the woman incident. The officers further
contend that vile language .eaped upon
them by the woman prompted them to
attempt her arrest and that Diani's swift |
from Vine street was done to /
avert riot.
Mrs. Selma Abano. who was arrested |
because of her alleged participation in IL
'ow on Webster avenue last Friday night,
,ame into court Tuesday fternoon for a
,earing. She complained of missing r. A.
ioar, who, she expected, would be there

Fishart thought tnat if she wanted Mr..
Iosr she certainly should have him.
'iew which Magistrate Scott seemed to
,old for he continued the case until
Tuesday morning.
Guido ROssi, who was arrested Sunday
light for an alleged assault on James
sullivan in Maple avenue fraeas. came

BRYAN'S RESIGNATION.
And President Wilson's Acceptance are
Here Given.

Secretary Bryan's letter of resignation
and President Wilson's acceptance of the
resignation are as follows:
! MY Dear Mr. President:
1T is with sincere regret that | have
reached the conclusion that should re-
turn to you the commission of secretary
OF state with which you honored me at
the beginning of your administration.
"Obedient to your sense of duty and
sctuated by the highest motives, you
have prepared for transmission TO the
German government a note in which |
cannot join without violating what /
deem TO be an obligation TO my country,
and the issue involved is OF such moment
that TO remain member Of the cabinet
would be as unfair to you as il would be
to the cause which is nearest my heart
namely, the prevention OF war.
Il, therefore, respectfully tender my
resignation, TO take effect when the note
is sent, unless you prefer an earlier hour.
Alike desirous OF reaching a peaceful so
luton of the problems arising out Of the
use of submarines against merchantmen.
we find ourselves differing irreconcilably
as to the methods which should be en-.
ployed.
1T falls to your lot TO speak official
ly for the nation; ! consider il 10 be
none the less my duty to endeavor as
a private citizen 10 promote the end
which you have in view by means which
you do not feel at liberty to use.
I'm severing the intimate and pleasant
relations which have existed between
us during the past two years, permit me
TO acknowledge the profound satisfaction
which it has given me 20 be associated
with you in the important work which
has come before the state department. |
and to thank you for the courtesies ex.
tended
with the heartiest good wishes for
your personal welfare aud for the sue
'ess Of your administration, ! am, my
lear Mr.. President, very truly yours,
