the cheap department store in which
she worked. She went in boldly, her
only encouragement the fact that old
Ludwig knew her and had once or
twice stopped and spoken to her in
his fatherly way.
"Wen, Miss Dimsey," said the old
man, looking up over his spectacles
and beaming at her.
Little Miss Dimsey's well-planned
story broke down and she broke into

concerned.

trict of Columbia, by Justice Ashley NJ
Could, who appeared at the meeting to
express the regrets of Chief Justice
Covington, who had been invited TO
address the assembled lawyers.
Chief Justice Covington was called to
his Maryland home. and would not at
tend the meeting.
Justice Gould asked the lawyers to CO.
operate with tho bench In placing before
the Congress the pressing need for an
other Judge. He pointed out that the
calendar in the law courts Ia so con-
9ested that 1t now takes about eighteen
months to get a case heard. and thi. is
not fair to litigants. the judge declared
Revision Of Code Urged.
The speaker also suggested that
changes should be made in certain pro-
visions of the code and intimated that
il might not be amiss to have a com
mittee consider the question of re
vision of the entire code, which became
operative in January. 1902.
Justice Gould felicitated the lawyers
and asserted thai his many wears
service on the bench had not prevented
him from feeling that he is still a
me mber of the bar.

administration was in sympathy with
attacks upon him and criticism OF him
Mr.. Metcalfe's Views.
This view is expressed in a published
statement by Richard ]. Metcalfe, long
time associated with Mr. Bryan on the
Commoner. who said in effect that Mr.
Bryan's resignation had been brought
about by an organized attack en-
couraged by men more or less consplc-
uous in the administration. and that the
difference over the German note mere
ly precipitated result which was GER
tain to result sooner or later from
other causes
II Mr. Metcalfes suspicious are cor
rect and if Mr.. Bryan shares his view.
it is expected that his course in the
near future will demonstrate it and
his utterances voice it. Democrats do
not conceal the fact that they await
his next moves with the utmost anxiety
None of them minimize his power to
work veal or woe for the party. and
they arc only concerned as to how he
may exercise il.
No fair-mindcd and well posted demo-
crat overlooks the fact that William J.
Bryan is still a big man in the demo-
cratic party at large and that he is an
element to be reckoned with in every
thing concerning democratic politics.
II has often been said by democrats
of Importance that President Wilson
took him into the ca binet because he
could not afford to let him figure s a
long. low. rakish craft in the offlne.
AS for comment for publica tion demo-
Gratis are chary of expression and con-
fine themselves in the main to gen
eralities and expressions of regret.
What s regarded as one of the most
significant utterances came from Sena-
tor James of Kentucky. who has long
'dolized Mr.. Bryan Assuming that his
affection for Mr.. Bryan is taken for
granted. with a snap of the jaws the
big fellow said.

perfectly clear. ! stand by the Presi-

visinz their respective governments Of
the cabinet change and its significance
In Austro-GernaH quarters. where
there has been some confidence that
Secretary Bryans influence for peace
would make Impossible rupture be-
tween the United States and Germany.
the resiana ton of the Secretary caused
much uneasiness.
In other official and diplomatic quar-
ters the view was held that, by accept
ing the resignation OF Mr. BRYAN, the
President had demonstrated 10 Ger
many his earnest intention of secur-
ing reparation for the loss OF Ameri-
can lives on the Iusitsnla and a guar
antee against other violations Of
American rights.
