WHY BRYAN RESIGNED
ISSUES ON WHICH HE PARTED
FROM THE PRESIDENT.
Would Warn Americans From Danger
Zone and Bar Ammunition From
Passenger Ships.

Washington, June 11.-William Jen-
nings Bryan became a private citizen
at two o'clock Wednesday.
After an affecting farewell talk with
President Wilson at the White House
and reception to $50 employees of
the state department in his Office, the
retiring premier issued statement,
following the dispatch of the rejoinder
of President Wilson to Germany, in
which he explained reasons for resign
ing from the Wilson cabinet at the
critical moment he chose for his &C.
ton.
Secretary Bryan's personal state
ment on the reasons for his resigna-
tion contends that the difficulties be-
tween Germany and the United States
should be investigated by an interna-
tional commission and that Americans
should be warned to keep off belliger.
ent ships or those carrying ammuni-
tion through the danger zone.
President Wilson and William Jen-
nings Bryan bade each other an Off
cial farewell in the White House with
hearty handclasp. Before returning
to his residence after discharging his
final official duties at the state depart
ment, Mr.. Bryan stopped at the White
House and was taken Immediately to
the White House library. Both men
extended their hands and then seated
themselves on couch. Briefly they
recounted to each other the nature Of
the differences which have arisen be-
tween them over the German policy.
Cordially and without any trace of
feeling the two men talked of the
situation which resulted in Mr.. Bry-
ans resignation. Each spoke dispas-
sionately of the differences and his
belief that the other was doing what
he thought best for the United States.
Those who saw them were touched
by the regard the two men displayed
for each other.
Finally the two men, who had stood
together during the last year IA one
crisis after another, rose to their feet
simultaneously and clasped hands.
God bless you," said each as their
hands touched.

washington, June 10.-President
Wilson and his cabinet considered the
known fact that German interests, re-
ported backed by the German govern
ment, are Negotiating for the purchase
of the great gun and munitions-of-war
plants in this country.
Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
laid the matter before the cabinet. He
had information from secret service
agents of the government, who have
been following these German activities
for several weeks.
The plants for which negotiations
are on include that of Charles M.
Schwab at Bethlehem, Pa, the Rem
ington Small Arms works at Hartford,
Conn, and the Cramp works at Phila-
delphia, which it is said Mr.. Schwab
is about to acquire; the Metallic Cart,
ridge company, the Remington com
pany and other munitions and small
arms works.
Included in the Schwab plant hold
ings are7ths@Fore River Shipbuilding
company, Massachusetts, and the

SCANDAL.

Gated in Plot to Cheat Uncle
Sam, II Is Declared.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Oficials of the Treas
ury Department are on the track OF
what they believe will prove to be
enormous whisky frauds in the State
of Kentucky. In some quarters it is
believed that the frauds will prove
as widespread and sensational as the
whisky ring scandal of 1874. The evil
dence so far obtained is said to in
volve a number of distillers in vari-
GUS parts of Kentucky and minor rev.
enue employees. The frauds indicated
are similar in character to those
which led to the arrest recently OF
Knox Booth, Internal Revenue Agent
for the Tennessee-Alabama District,
and John L. Caspar, president of big
distillery at FIT. Smith, Ark. The
frauds appear to have extended
through nearly all of the Southern
States, but, according to Colonel Boul-
din, Internal Revenue Agent at Louis.
vile, fraudulent relations between dis
tillers and revenue officers are more
extensive in Kentucky than in any
other state.
w. H. Osborn, Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, said that he must de
cline to discuss the results of the in
vestigations in Kentucky and that he
deeply deplores the prospect that pub
licity must be given to the matter al
this time.
Commissioner Osborn displayed live
ly interest in reports that Bouldin hal
found that the government has los
an enormous sum and that the collu
sion has been going on for years. Tht
information from Kentucky is that thu
scheme that has been worked ha'
been similar to that employed in thu
whisky ring frauds back in the '7Oc
as it is said to involve collusion be
tween distillers and revenue officers
