any one else. ] heard members
ask Mr.. Bryan questions and
heard his answers. Mr.. Bryan was
asked what he thought about the
McLemore resolution, and he said
he thought it a good idea to table
it, which would be of the nature of a
compliment to the president. MANY
members accordingly voted as the
president desired, as the result of
Mr.. Bryan's suggestion. Neverthe-
less, newspaper stories sent out
from Washington make it appear
that Mr.. Bryan was attempting to
get the members of congress to go
against the president, when the
fact was, his mission in Washing
ton was exactly the opposite in
purpose.
Mr.. Bryan and I had no talk
whatever on the subject. He did
not seek to influence me Iersonal-
", nor did ] make any appeal to
him to urge him to do anything.
As for my own vote, | was influ-
enced by no one but my own con-
viction, and that will continue to
be my guide as long as l have a
voice in congress.
I am not fighting the president,
but believe in the warning resolu-
tons. l believe they are just as
much right at one time as at an
other, and so believing l could not
vote other than as I did.

Nails TWO LIES
ABOUT MR.. BRYAN
Congressman Tavenner Not Influenced
by Ex-Secretary, Who in Fact
Was Misrepresented.

A Washington staff correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune in commenting on
the dinner given in Washington to for
mer Secretary of State W. j. Bryan,
the day before the house voted on the
warning resolutions, sought to create
the impression that Bryans presence
in Washington was in opposition to the
presidents program, and that the con-
ference was therefore OF tie nature of
a conspiracy. Inasmuch as the name
of Congressman Tavenner appeared
among those present at the dinner, and
that the Tribune correspondent made
it point to say Representative Tav-
enner of Illinois was one of those who
tried to prevail upon Mr.. Bryan to
make direct appeal to congress-" The
Argus wrote Mr.. Tavenner for a can
conference, calling his particular at
tention to the reference to his having
attempted to prevail upon Bryan to
make direct appeal to congress. In
the course of his letter of reply under
date of Washington, March 8, Mr.. Tav-
enner says:
l beg to acknowledge receipt of
your letter with clipping from the
Chicago Tribune. wherein it is
stated in effect that l urged Mr..
Bryan to come out against the ad-
ministration.
The statement is absolutely
false. ! will be glad to give you
the exact facts of the meeting, as I
am always ready to make frank
statements of anything that hap
pens concerning me. I want the
people to know just what l am do
ing, why l do as l do. and all
about my entire course here, and
all that enters into it.
The dinner to Mr. Bryan was not
prearranged, so far as l know. 1t
was given by Representative Bal
ley of Pennsylvania, whose Office
is next to mine Mr. Bailey invited
me to attend the dinner and l did
So There were about twenty-five
members present. representing IA

WILSON HOME IS
DAMAGED IN FIRE
Entire Roof and C0rnice Consumed in
Blaze of Unknown Origin on
F0rty.First Street.

The home of R. P. Wilson, Gil Forty
first street, Rock Island, was damaged
to the extent of $4,000 in a blaze which
started at 2:40 yesterday afternoon
The entire roof and cornice of the resi-
dence were burned off and part of the
second story Quilted before the fire de-
partment was able to get the flames
under control. The fire started either
from chimney sparks or defective wir-
ing, it is thought The blaze, when
discovered by neighbors, had spread
over the entire roof and when the de-
partment arrived it was a mass of
flames.
The firemen got the flames under
control within a short time, but were
forced to spend considerable time on
the second floor when the flames crept
room in the rear the fire worked
through in several places, but in the
other rooms the damage was caused
by water Luckily the water did not
seep through to the first floor to any
extent and the loss there will be small.
Members of the family and neigh
bors got busy as quickly as the fire was
discovered and most of the furnish
ings were carried out into the yard
and saved from damage.
The side of an adjoining residence at
els Forty-frst street was scorched by
the heat and the shingles on the roof
caught fire, but were quickly extin-
guished. There was no attic in the
Wilson home. The damage is covered
by insurance.

Goodfellow ship and real fun reigned
supreme and the banquets are sure to
have good results in that they brought
men and boys together to think over
and listen TO talks concerning their
mutual problems. Next year it is
hoped that every church in the city
will take up the plan presented by the
Y N. C. A. this year. The churches
who took up the plan this year are
enthusiastic and all are unanimous in
saving that they will do the same
thing next year The informal talks
by the men and boys and then serious
minded talks on The Boy In His
Teens" and The Father Engrossed
In Business" could not but be q great
help to those present. The reserve
was broken down at each banquet by
singing some of the popular songs like
"Tipperary," L Want a Girl" and
illinois" The programs in the differ
ent churches were as follows:
At the First Methodist the main
talks were given by National Boy
Scout Commissioner Eddy, Rev 0. T.
