BRYAN HITS BACK
Fighting Wilson? Oh, No, Just
Lending His Advice.
Says President Can't Declare
War; Congress Won't.

Washington, April 21.-William ].
Bryan's plan for preventing war be-
came plain today. He explained it in
a crowded series of conferences with
senators and representatives.
1t is a plan to convince congress
that involving the United States in war
rests entirely with the members; that
congress is altogether free to exercise
the final decision and should exercise
it regardless of any act of the presi-
dent. Once congress appreciates this.
Bryan is convinced, there will be no
declaration OF war by the United
States against Germany. He is GER
tain the majority of both houses is OPP
posed to war.
The president has authority only to
carry matters up to and including the
breaking off of diplomatic relations.
Bryan argued over and over again.
After the break, he maintained, the
presidents power ends. Then it is up
to congress. Bryan insisted that the
president was required to respect the
authority of congress in the matter of
war-making just as he had .exacted
from congress respect for his own au-
thority over diplomatic negotiations.
Bryan insisted he is not fighting"
the president. He is only discussing
with the legislative branch of the gov
eminent matters that concern that

SUES FOR LOSS OF LEG
Woman Brings Action Against Soldier
Township for $1O,217.

Soldier township is the defendant in
a S1O.2I7 damage suit filed in the dis
trfct court this afternoon by the law
firm of Mote & Rooney for Rosa NC
Claim, asking for damages because OF
the loss of a. leg in an automobile acct
dent on the Golden Belt road last Mo-
vember.
The petition alleges that the acct
dent was due to the bad condition of
the road. The alleged accident oc-
cured about forty feet west of the
stone bridge located at the west end of
Calhoun Bluffs. The attorneys for
Mrs McClain declare at this point was
only twelve feet wide and that there
was an abrupt drop of about eight feet
on each side, without guards or rails
They state that the edges of the road
were covered with high weeds which
prevented the plaintiff from seeing the
dangerous condition.
November Is, the petition states,
Rosa McClain was driving along the
road in an automobile and ran off into
the ditch, injuring her left leg so
seriously that it was necessary to re-
move it by amputation. The allegation
is that she was in the hospital for
nineteen weeks, that she is a cripple
for life, that she spent $217 for hos
pital bills and that she suffered great
pain and agony. The petition asks for
the return of the amount spent and
an additional $4,000 for pain and suf-
fering

TURKS LOST 5000
British Give Official Account of
April 17-1S Battle.
Declare 1900 Dead Lay in
Front of One Brigade Alone.

London, April 21.-The recent at
tack of the Turks on the British forces
along the Tfgris in Mesopotamia was
made by about 10000 men and cost
them heavy losses.
An official account of the battle
supplementing earlier reports from
the British commander was given out
today as follows: The enemy made
his attack on the 18th and 18th with
some 10000 men comprising one whole
division and portions of two others
They came on in dense formation and
penetrated part of our front. Within
500 yards of one of our brigades alone,
1900 to $500 dead Turks were count
ed. 1t is reported they are lying thick
farther out before the front on other
portions of our line. Their killed alone
on the night of April 1913 are esti
mated at more than 5000. In several
instances attacks were led by Ger
mans some of whom were killed.
Apparently the enemy supposed
that part of our troops were isolated
by floods and that they had a chance
of overwhelming it. AS a matter of
fact supports were moving up at the
time.
''Our total casualties killed, wound
ed and missing were very considerably
less than the Turkish killed.

river is still very high

SUES FOR $4,000
Mrs. BeuIah Gibson Places Big
Value on Husbands Affection.
Petition Indicates a Case of
Too Much MOther-in-LaW.

Charging that Mrs. Ellen Gibson,
her mother-in-law, alienated the af-
fections of her husband, Mrs. Beulah
Gibson of Cawker City has filed suit
in the federal district court for $780,,
600. The case was transferred to the
federal court from the district court
of Mitchell county.
The petition states that she and Ray
Gibson were married in December,
1912, and that they lived happily until
August Is, 1915, when, the wife al
leges, Mrs. Ellen Gibson spirited her
son away from Cawker City, where
they lived. She declares that on that
date the mother-in-law accompanied
Ray Gibson to the station and pur-
chased a railway ticket for him Ito
point outside the state of Kansas"
The younger Mrs. Gibson says she
did everything in her power to pre-
vent her husband from deserving her
and their two-year-old son. She
brought suit against the husband on
the charge of desertion, and. she says,
he was found guilty. His mother, the
petition says, paid all of the expenses
incident to the case.
The petition cites that the elder
Mrs. Gibson owns property to the val
ne of $4,000.
