to Strict Account for Her "Viola-
lations Of Human Sanctities."

LONDON. June 9-Surfeited as the
British public has been with war sensa-
tions. Secretary Bryan's resignation has
created unusual interest and discussion
because 1t has given wholly unex-
pected turn to political events In
America
The British press has shown a strong
inclination recently to refrain from
comment on the affairs OF all neutrals
which might seem In the nature Of
advice - or dtctation. Nevertheless.
President Wilson's policy has been
watched with the greatest eagerness.
All the afternoon newspapers give
their largest headlines to Mr.. Bryan.

"One Of the most decisive events Of
the world conflict" is what the Evening
Star calls the resignation OF Secretary
OF State Bryan.

Coming after the heroic decision OF
Italy to draw her sword in defense OF

I'VE have always proclaimed our be-

way He has given Germany ample
time to rslent and to refrain. He has
for ten long months watched Germany
marching from horror to horror and
from hell to hell.
HE did not protest against the awful
crime OF Belgian invasion with it's un-
namable butcheries and it's unspeakable
abominations. He waited with a noble
patience. which, to nations in agony,
seemed to border on perfidy. He strive
to the last against the cruel lmplaci-

TO HIS FORMER PREMIER
Both Men Are Deeply Moved When
Final Scene in White House
Is Enacted.
THEIR EMOTION IS MANIFEST
Formal Leave-Taking Occurs in Blue
Room, and Secretary Tumulty Is
Sole Witness-Washington Divided
on Effect of Resignation.
BY JUSTIN ,rcGRArH.

WASHINGTON. June e.-With
fervent and sincere God bless YOU
from each. President Woodrow Wilson
and William Jennings Bryan. his Pre-
mier up to yesterday, took formal leave
Of each other at high noon to-day In
the historic Blue Room of the White
House.
Secretary to the President Tumulty,
who was the sole witness to the part
ing. says 1t was an affecting scene.
Mr.. Tumulty. in describing the scene
late this afternoon to the correspon-
dents. said that both the President and
Mr.. Bryan were much moved by the
farewell, and that the depths of their
emotion was manifest in their speech
and action.
1t was natural that both mon should
be much affected in severing their Of
fetal relations. quite aside from any
consideration Of the effect Mr. Bryan's
resignation and his announced inten-
tion to advocate his peace program be-
fore the people. might possibly have
upon the International relations of the
United States
EACH HAS GOOD REASON
TO BE DEEPLY MOVED
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Bryan had good
reason in purely personal considera-
tions to be deeply moved In exchang-
Ing their adieux.
Mr.. Wilson became President through
Mr. Bryans support, after he had ex-
pressed the hope that Mr.. Bryan might
be knocked into cooked hat" and
to Mr.. Bryan's influence largely he
owes the passage of many OF the i'm
portant measures OF domestic policy
on which he had set his heart, and by
which his administration will be
Judged And on Mr.. Bryan's side he
| has reason to feel grateful to Presi-
dent Wilson for appointing him to tho
! highest office In his gift. despite a
clamor OF opposition.
Mr.. Tumulty said that Mr. Bryan
went over again with the President
the views he holds as to n proper for
| eign policy. and restated his reasons
| for his views. While their differences
| he realized, were irreconcilable he as
| sured the President of his conviction
| that the President was doing his duty
| as God gave him the light to see it,
and asked the President If he did not
accord to him the same sincerity in
standing for his convictions.
The President assured him he did, un-
qualifedly, giving him credit for un-
questionable conscientiousness
HIS FIRST GOOD SLEEP

great relief In casting aside the burden
OF the secretaryship, saying:

NEW YORK, June 9.-The brief ap-
plying for n reargument in the Becker
case Will he served on District At
torney Perkins tomorrow and at the
same time will be sent to the State
Court Of Appeals at Albany. The mo-
ton will come UP before tho court
on Monday morning. Mr.. Perkins will
have three days In which to prepare
his answer TO the motion.
There is not the slightest doubt Of
what will be the result Mr.. Perkins
said to-day. There is no record Of a
reargument ever being granted in a
capital case and very seldom in minor
cases. Monday is the last motion day
OF the court. but they Will consider
the cases before them for at least an
other month, and undoubtedly tho
Becker decision will be their first"
Becker has no hope that Governor
Whitman Will commute his sentence,
according to the Rev. James B. Curry,
pastor of ST. James Church, who
visited Becker at Sing Sing on Tuesday.
Becker told me-" Father Curry sa!d.
that the only thing that can save
him is the recantation Of Rose, Schepps,
Vallon, Wcbber and others who testi-
fed against him.
Becker is not a raving aethist. He
fears his Maker. and says he trusts
to God to right the injustice he claims
has been done to him. He is no cow
ard. and has no fear Of death. He said
to me:
"A few years Of life makes no diff
ference. we ell have to die. But what
terr!fies me IS the thought that must
die as a murderer. when l am not a
murderer"
