CHICAGO. Aug. 14.-"The attitude of William J. Bryan toward the pro gram for better preparedness for war will be an important factor in deter mining whether there shall be an ex- tra session of Congress to consider the country's defenses according to Democratic politicians here,' says @ special Washington dispatch to the Herald. The dispatch continues;
 'If Mir. Bryan decided to rally his peace following for an open and az gressive fight against O considerable increase of the army and navy PresI- dent Wilson will not call an extra session of Congress. But if Mir.

There is no intention anywhere 1t is admitted. to wholly disregard the wishes of Mr Bryan"

ORE CARS DERAILED;;
 ONE HURT

c. c. Nichols. a brakeman on the Alaska.Juneau ore train. is in St. Anu's hospital in a very serious con- diton as the result of an accident which occurred on the train last night at s:30. Nichols and Engineer Louis Erickson were riding on Q ten ton motor truck hauling train of 15 loaded ore cars from the mine to the bins at the mill At the curve just west Of the Mt Roberts tunnel the train jumped the track and bolted down the mountain side for a distance ol about fifteen feet.
 Nichols. who was riding on the right side of the motor tried to save him self by jumping down the hillside, but was caught by the falling machine, which finally lodged against o large stump. Erickson jumped on the up- per side ol the track and was prac- tcany unhurt. The injured man was immediately taken down the tram on O stretcher and put into pr. Sloane's car and rushed to the hospital.
 Nichols sustained Q badly broken leg. and his skull has been fractured. and his jaw-bone broken. He was put on the operating table this morning, and although he is in a very serious conditions. Dr. Sloane entertains no doubt as to his ultimate recovery.
 A second examination this afternoon proved that Nichols injuries consist of a compound fracture of the left leg and a serious scalp wound with possible fracture of the skull The jaw bone. which this morning was thought to be broken. is only severely bruised. The injured man is suffering intense pain, and so far 1t has been impossible to set the broken bones. This win probably be done late this afternoon or early in th emorning.
 Nichols is still conscious. and the physicians believe this is Q good sign. The young man is well known here. at one time having pitched for the Juneau baseball team. He has niece living here, Miss Edna Nichols, employed by the Juneau Telephone company.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
 PAYS FOR AMERICAN CREDIT

LONDON, Aug h. The London Times says the purchase of American bonds in England before the August bank holiday advanced the prices to levels several points above the Ameri- can market. If this represented the purchases of bonds by the British gov ernment to be used as security for temporary loans in America, the Times says. it is a clumsy method and exceedingly expensive. The govern men should negotiate with the insur- ance companies. trust companies and other holders for large blocks of the bonds.

PATRIOTIC DESIGNS FOR WASHINGTON
 FLOWER GARDENS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.- Govern ment officials are joining the Cid- zens' Committee in endeavoring to make the c. A. R. Encampment, to be held here the latter part of Septem- Der. a great success. Along this line special floral designs are being laid out on the lawns of the Capitol build ing. and other government buildings. These designs include insignia of the c. A. R.. the Women's Relief Corps and allied organizations to be here during the convention.
 Under the direction of Superiutend- ent ot the Capitol building, Elliott D. Woods. two flower beds have been laid out on the sloping grounds of the west front, designed to add to the attractiveness of the grounds during the encampment. On the north. or Senate wing. the Grand Army badge, seventy-five feet long. and twenty feet wide. has been the subject of the gardeners work, while on the south end. or the House wing, the badge of the Woman's Relief Corps, of simi- lar dimensions. have been reproduced. It Is estimated that about thirty thou sand plants were required to make these designs.
 The eagle at the top Of the c. A. R.. badge is coleus. of golden color, while althernanthera. dark red was used in making the crossed cannon. For the main part of the design. the National colors. the alternating red and white stripes are of iresene and centeurea, and the blue field is a mass of agera- tum. The five pointed star pendant is outlined with yellow coleus, while the bronze effect of the metal was produced by the use of acalpha, bronze leaf folige plant The other design made have been similarly treated with various kinds of plants to bring out the color scheme.
 Surrounding the sherman statue. utsi south of the Treasury building. on Pennsylvania Avenue. and accesi- ble to the visitors. four army corps badges have been reproduced with the use of various foliage plants. The designs for these. about twenty feet in diameter. were laid out under the direction of Charles Henlock. super intendent of gardens. On the north side of the statue is the badge of the Fifteenth Corps. on the west side the badge of the Fourteenth Corps, the badge of the Twentieth Corps being on the south side and the Seventeenth Corps being represented on the east side. About seventy-five thousand plants were used in making these em- blems.
 Superintendent George W. Hess, of the Botanical Gardens. has had over- hauled and equipped with modern ap- paratus the magnificent Barthold fountain that stands in the center of the gardens. This fountain was ex- hibited at the Centennial Exposition of the French government and at the close of the exposition was presented to this government and removed to its present location. The fountain when completed will be an added at- traction to the gardens. The fountain will be Illuminated at night

SHIP PURCHASE
 BILL MAY PASS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Much in terest is taken here in the announce ment of Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi that the flight for the ship purchase gill will be renewed as soon as Congress meets in Decem Der. Senator Williams is in favor of the bill, and that he win do all he can to cause its enactment into law; indeed. he thinks the measure more necessary now than when introduced in the last Congress.
 The two Senators from Mississippi divided on the question last year. and if Senator John K. Vardaman has un. dergone a change of heart he has not taken the country into his confidence.
 Seven Democratic Senators opposed the ship purchase bill last winter and were responsible for its defeat Six of the seven will sit in the next Con- gress. Senator Camden, of Kentucky has retired and former Gov. J. C. w. Beckman will succeed him. Three other Democrats will replace Repub- licans who opposed the Presidents measure. They are, Senator J. D. Phe- Ian. of California; Senator Ed s. John son, of South Dakota and Paul O. Hust ings of Wisconsin.
 This means that the administra- ton has bained four and the opposi- ton uost four Senators, and should give the administration a majority of dozen in the present Senate for the shipping bill.

 PORTLAND. Aug. 5.-That he would favor making the Puget Sound Navy Yard 'at Bremerton equal in import ance and capacity to that of Brooklyn, N. r.. was the announcement made yesterday by Senator Ben R. Tillman, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, who is spending a few days here before returning to the East.
 Senator Tilman and Senator George E. Chamberlain, chairman of the com mittee on military affairs, each voiced the opinion that an extra session Of Congress to provide for the national defense was unnecessary and inad- visable at this time.
 The question arose when Senator Chamberlain called upon Senator Till man, who has just returned from trip to Alaska. They agreed that steps to strengthen immeasurably the army and navy should be taken at the reg ular session. but thought need for ac- ton prior to that time does not exist
 As chairman of the naval affairs committed. said Senator Tillman, "1 shall support a program for making our navy as good as the best. ] did not favor more battleships at the last session because recent developments seem to indicate that battleships are liable to become obsolete. favor plenty of submarines and fast cruisers and whatever else we need to put our navy on the most efficient footing"
