Lincoln, Neb., March William J. Bryan does not desire the demo- cratic presidential nomination, but feels it his duty to tell progressive democrats to go to the party's nation al convention "to help them in opposing the reactionares and friends of the saloon," he announced in a statement here tonight.
 His statement took the form of a personal answer to request that he enter the presidential race. Declar- ing he recognized it to be the duty of the citizen to respond to calls of his country in peace or war" MT Bryan said that eff the situation be- came such that my nomination was actually demanded, as in time of war d soldiers life is demanded on the battlefield" he would feel he should consider it.
 MT. Bryan said the demands of public life for 30 years had deprived him of the companionship of his family and that he now desired "to look forward to few years of un- interrupted happiness at home,' where he could devote his time to literary work.

INCREASED EXPRESS RATE ID AGGREGATE:
 S25,000,Oo) ASKED
New Tariff Rates are From Ten to 75 Per Cent
 Higher

Washington, March l3. Increased express charges ranging from 10 to 75 per cent and estimated to yield $25, 100000 additional revenue an nually were asked by the American Railway Express company in peti- tion filed today with the interstate commerce commission.
 Increased cost of conducting it's business as well as the urgent need for more complete facilities and equipment. was given by the com pany as grounds for asking addi tional revenue. Expenditure oi many millions of dollars" was necessary, the petition said, and ad ditional funds could not be obtained under the present rates.
 The company estimated it's deficit for 1919 at $22 ,03G,000 and for the last six months of 1918 at $15,723, 000. A deficit "even greater than for the corresponding period of 1919," it was declared probable for January and February of this year.
 While explaining that various rate increases added approximately $12,- 000,000 to the annual revenue, the company said this money was given immediately to employees in the shape of increased wages.
 The company asked for a flat 25 per cent increase on the present commodity rates in the district east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio rivers. Between points in that district and other sections of the country the increase would be 10 per cent. Rates on milk and cream would be practically the same as charged by the railroads.
 The largest increase sought was for actual hauling for which the company asked 75 per cent additional in the eastern district and 50 per cant alsnWhare

Mrs. Katherine Glenn mons Gould, founder of the organiza- tion told the gathering of several hundred women.

Carrier Pigeon
 Makes a Record

Honolulu, T. H., March 7.-(By MaiD-A carrier pigeon released from a disabled, falling army sea- plane here recently, reached Luke Field aviation station four miles dis tant with message telling of the mishap 15 minutes after the plane started on it's plunge.
 While Lieuts. Lester J. Maitland and Marion Elliott and their me. chanic were over the city at an alti- tude of about 1900 feet a crank shaft broke with a strong backfire that sent streak of flames out be- hind the plane for distance of 30 feet.
 As the machine headed downward in sharp glide, Lieutenant Elliott scribbled note telling of the acci- dent, attached it to the leg of a carrier pigeon carried for just such purposes and started the bird on it's trip home to Luke Field. Fifteen minutes later the bird lighted at the entrance of it's loft at the seaplane base.
 Tugs picked up the "shipwrecked'' |aviators and lowed the plane back to Pearl Harbor.

TWO ISSUES ONLY BEFORE JURORS IN
 NEWbERRy TRIAL
Was There Conspiracy or Fraud by Mails, They
 Must Decide

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 13.-- Only two of the original six counts on which Senator Truman H. New berry and 84 other leading republi- cans of Michigan are being tried, will be submitted to the jury late next week. At the close of testimony in the United States district court to- day, Judge Clarence W. Sessions, first combined counts one and four then held that counts two and three were repitions and ruled them out The fifth count was ruled out at the close of the governments direct
 Two issues thus remain for the jury to determine.
 Was there criminal conspiracy to violate the state and federal elec- ton laws in procuring the nomina- tion and election of Newberry?
 Were the United States mails useo to further such ascheme to defraud as it is set forth in what is now the consolidated first count?
 Judge Sessions said he was con- vinced that the combining of the counts would follow the language of the federal corrupt practices law which cites as illegal certain acts in connection with nomination and elec- tion. The use of the word. "and" in the statute was the determining fac tor in this decision.
 The big trial was thus brought to the stage where only summing up by attorneys and instructions by the court remain to be heard. The schedule gives four days to this final phase of the case, which prob ably will be placed in the jury's hand next Friday morning.
