BRYAN DISAGREES WITH
WILSON ON LEAGUE
OF NATIONS ISSUE

Washington, Jan 8-A split between
President Wilson and VIM. J. Bryan
over whether the league of nations
should be made an issue at the COM
ing election topped off the Jackson
Day deliberations Of the Democratic
party chiefs.
It came at the Jackson dinner, as
the climax of day in which San
Francisco had been chosen as the
meeting place of the Democratic
national convention on June 28, and
it charged the air with political
electricity.

Submit Treaty to Voters

Submit Treaty to Voters
President Wilson, in his message
read to the diners, assembled in two
separate halls, declared that the
"clear and single way out" was to
submit the question to the voters as
"a great and solemn referendum" ."
Mr.. Bryan, showing all the old
time vigor with which he led the
fight for the President nomination
at Baltimore in 1912, declared that
the Democratic party could not go
before the country on the issue be-
cause it involved delay of four
teen months, and meant success on
ly if the Democrats captured two
thirds majority of the Senate.
The party, Mr.. Bryan declared,
must secure such compromises as
may be possible.
Crystallizing an Issue.
The disagreement between the
President and his former Secretary
of State, the first public view since
Mr.. Bryan left the Cabinet because
he did not agree with the Presi-
dents course in the diplomatic
negotiations with Germany, was
thus disclosed as = fact, although it
has been rulnored and reported in
the underground currents of nation
al politics. In the opinion of the
political leaders it crystallized an is
sue.

the published story made il appear that

not say that. on the contrary it said that
the present arrangement is merely tenn

RELIC OF AZTEC DAYS

From the New York World.
 Brownsville, Tex.-After lying un- disturbed for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years, the grave of some old Indian chieftain was rudely diss turbed this morning by city workmen employed in digging sanitary sewer line.
 The burial place of the old Aztec warrior was located in what is now one of the most popular sections of the city. but what was formerly the banks of an old resaca and at one time prob ably the bank .of the Rio Grande, at the northeastern city limitsA
 The bones were preserved in almost their natural shape through petrifica- tion and their size indicated that be- fore his death, perhaps long before the white man ever heard of the Ric Grande, the warrior had been an enor- mously big man That his life was an active one was demonstrated by the fact that one of his arms had been fractured and the arm failed to knit smoothly. The most perfectly pre- served portions of the body were the teeth, which are worn smooth and in dicated that the man was not young They bore no signs of decay or break
