WHO SAID OLD BRYAN
 IS ONLY A 'HAS-BEEN?'
Discusses His Views Rela-
 tive to Reorganization of Democratic Party.

Miami. Fla, Feb. 10.-"If the dem ocratic party is going to be a force In this country it must have mem- bers and the voters will not be will ing to act through the democratic party unless they can control it." said William Jennings Bryan. at his win ter home here today in discussing tho announcement yesterday in New York by former Judge Roper of Ne braska that MT. Bryan and his broth CT Charles. planned a reorganization Of the democratic party.
 MT. Bryan said he had not known that a definite date for the launch ing of the movement had been set as announced by Judge Roper.
 ''I am in constant association with my brother" he added.
 My theory has been that a democ- racy is a government in which the people rule and the democratic party must recognize that authority comes up from the bottom and not down from tho top.
 Politicians try to use the party organizations and the voters for their own benefit while the voters try to use the party organization for the advance of the public good.
 "I do not expect much of any sur  face movements, that is. movements among the party officials. Progress win come through activity among the voters and they cannot act until they have a chance to select committee men. Prior to this they can organize among themselves discuss questions. pick out spokesmen and get ready for effective action when the time for the selection of the committee men comes. This. think they should do. And this is what I hope to con- tribute to through my paper.
 If the proposed meetings of the sub-committees or the full commit tees have no higher purpose than the boosting Of some particular aspirant for office they will do little. If. how ever, the membership of the com- mittee want to outline constructive platform and call upon the rank and file for an expression of opinion, much may be accomplished"

Railroad Labor Board Re fuses to Abrogate Wage
 Scale Schedules.

Chicago. Feb. 1O.-The federal rail- road board today denied the request of the American Association of Railway Executives for immediate abrogntion of the national wage agreements with the brotherhoods and establishment of a new basic rate for unsl1illed labor pre- dicated on local conditions.
 The decision came before E. M. Jew ell. president of the railway employees department of the American Fedora ton of Labor started his reply to that made for the railway executives last week by W. W. Atterbury of the Penn sylvania railroad. 1t was totally un- expected but Mir. Jewell made his state ment nevertheless.
 The board assumed as the basis of this decision the continuance in full force and effect of the rules. working conditions and agreements enforced un- der the authority of the United States railroad administration" Judge Bar ton said. He made an exception of any

LAWYER IS ENGAGED
 TO DRAW UP BUDGET Taxpayers Protective AssO- citation Seek to Keep
 Tax Rate Down.

Lawyer Henry Nowicki today con- firmed the report that he has been en- gagged by the New Britain Taxpayers Protective association to make up a budget to be presented at the city meet ing for the levying of the tax rate for next year. The association is headed by Isadore Simons, and is not in any way connected with the New Britain Taxpayers association, according to a prominent member of that organization. It was mainly through the efforts of the New Britain Taxpayers associa- ton that the tax rate was lower than that made up by the board of finance and taxation for the past two years.
 Lawyer Nowicki explained that he was unable at this time to give any figure as to what the organization he represented would ask as tax rate for the coming year. When asked if the rate would be about 13 mills. the lawyer said in his opinion it would be in excess of this amount, but just how much he could not say.
 A member of the New Britain Tax payers association said this afternoon that this body would not have any budget to put against the one the board of finance and taxation will pre- pare. His answer to a query as to the probable rate of tax next year, was about 20 mills, which will include the 5 F mills levied at special city meetings last wear

New York, Feb. 1O.-AI Jennings, reformed train robber and bandit par excellence, admitted last night that he had been victimized here by an ''inconsiderate, discourteous mem Der" of his forsaken profession.
 Returning to his hotel from Brook lyn, Jennings was accosted by a shabby individual and found himself at the unfamiliar end of a "six-gun." He obeyed with celerity the usual Hands up" command, then sought immunity by divulging his identity.
 "Oh, come now" he pleaded in a friendly manner. I'm Al Jennings"
 Never mind the guff," returned the other, lifting a jewel and a roll of bills from Jennings pocket, I'm President Wilson"
 There now I'm leaving you a dime beat it.

MURDERER HOLDS OFF
 POLICE FOR 6 HOURS
Phila. Bluecoats Try Pistols, Axes, Water and Gas Be-
 fore Getting Their Man.

Philadelphia, Feb. 10.-A six hour battle early today between a negro who had shot and killed a woman in the house where he was living and nearly 100 policemen and firemen, resulted in the capture of the man, mortally wounded and the injuring of four policemen. Pistols, axes. high pressure fire hose, sulphur candies and other chemicals were used against the negro who had barricaded himself in the house.
 Attention waIs attracted to the negro, who was known as William Dresen, Alabama Joe" and other names, when he shot Grace Robin son, a negress and threw her body out of the house. A negro police man attempted to arrest him and he was shot in the leg. Reserves were sent for and when they attempted to break into the house, the negro ap- peared with two pistols and fired rapidly, wounding another policeman in the head.
 Dresen managed to barricade the doors to the house and the police called upon the fire department for assistance. A high pressure hose was kept in operation and every time lHe HSSTo dppSoISu oL h NiAuO" hS was driven back by a rush of water. but not before he managed to fire several more shots.
 The besiegers then resorted to strategy and procured sulphur candles and other chemicals from a hospital to drive him out. The negro however kept all windows open and this mode of attack failed. ...,. ....l
 Finally Richard Anderson, negro member of the police squad manl aged to get. into the house unseen by the barricaded man and the two met on a stairway. There was a fusillade of shots and Alabama Joe" tumbled. to the bottom of the stairs. Anderson wns not hurt. Six police men sei5edSti7e' w0NKded negro and an examination at Ahe hospital showed he had been shot six times. It is believed he recelved some of the wounds before Anderson fired at him.
 During the siege police discovered two women and 8 14 year old boy were on the third floor of the house. While police kept the negro away from the windows by a barrage of shots, firemen, ran a ladder to the third floor permitting the three to descend. One of the women was a sister of the murdered woman. Com ing down the ladder the woman said they could see Alabama Joe'' on the second floor and he could have shot them if he wanted to.
