w j. Bryan Passed
Through Mankato
Commoner Was En- Route To
New Um Where He Spoke
At Tauqua.

Hon. William Jennings Bryan, &C.
companied by mis- secretary, w. q.
Thompson, arrived in the city last
evening at seven o'clock from Was
eca, where Mr.. Bryan spoke before
a chautauQua at that city. The
Commoner was met in this city by
Editor Phil Liesch and Fred John
son of New Ulm, who took him to
that city to speak before chau-
tauqua meeting there last night
Having seen the announcement in
The Free Press of the expected ar :
rival OF Mr.. Bryan in the city

Union depot to greet him. The
former Secretary OF state was kept
busy during his brief stay in this

election of senators and congress
men in Minnesota. -
There is very evident reaction
against the republican party, espe-
cially in the agricultural and among
the laboring classes, and as these
are the largest groups it means a
great deal. The primaries so far
nave shown an emphatic activity
among the progressive republicans.
Each primary, therefore, is watch
ed with great interest"
If ever Mr.. Bryan was in CLOSE
quarters it was last night in his
ride from Mankato to New Ulm in
the back seat of Editor Phil Liesch's
automobile. Fred Johnson and fhil
Liesch told Mr.. Bryan that they
believed in a balance of power,
and owing to the fact that Mr..
Liesch is a republican and Mr..
Johnson a democrat they would
make him sit in the middle of the
two parties. When Mr.. Bryan got
into the car however he 81
over to the outside of the seat and
told Mr.. -Leisch to follow. Then
Friend Johnson took the other out
side position with the republican
editor between two fires of demo-
cracy. 1t is safe to say that Phil
Liesch, who by the way is a. fine
looking man and still has sparkle
IT. his dark eyes, never was harder
squeezed even during the days of
ais far off co1rtship than he was
last evening by the two democrats.
Mr.. Bryan expected to go to Pipe

New Ulm and. then proceed to Clear

The great increase which has re-

students at Harvard College, as at
other colleges. has brought up forci-
bly, the problem of the limitations
of enrolment. We have not at pres
ent sufficient classroom dormitories.
especially freshmen dormitories, to
take care of any further large in
crease. This problem is really a
group OF problems, all difficult, some
exceedingly difficult. and most of
them needing for their settlement
more facts than we now have.
Before large general policy can
be formulated on this great ques-
ton, it must engage the attention of
the governing boards and the faculty
and it is likely to be discussed by
alumni and undergraduates. 1t is
natural that with widespread dis
cussion of this sort going on there
should be talk about the proportion
of Jews at the college. At present
the whole problem of limitation of
enrolment is in the stage of general
discussion and it may remain in that
stage for a considerable time"

INDEPENDENT COAL
OPERATORS NOT JUBILANT

New York, May 31-Independent
coal operators in New York, particu-
larry the owners of non-union mines
showed little enthusiasm today for the
Hoover plan to suppress PROTECTING
during the strike by mutual agree
mcnt to keep down prices.
The tenor of their comment was
that the hands off, policy adopted
by the administration early in the
strike. when it refused to warn the
public of the impending shortage,
should now be maintained.
Producers foresaw the present state
Of the market two months ago and
sought, without any aid from the gov
eminent, to avoid it, coal officials de-
Clared. The president of one COM
pany displayed a circular letter. dis
tributed to the larger consumers early
in April, warning them to maintain
their reserves at current prices and
avert a panicky market when the
strike continued and the nations re-
serves were depleted.
AS an inducement to buy at that
time, steam bituminous was offered
at s2,15 and s2.o5 per ton at the time,
It was said Today the same coal is
claimed for at 81 to S4.25 a ton the
operator declared.
He predicted that soft coal prices
would continue to soar. and that the
public would suffer severely next Win
ter unless the administration took i'm
mediate steps TO bring about set

MILL OWNERS TO
ATTEMPT OPENING
IN new HAMPSHIRE
TO
Be TEST IRISH
BRITISH TREATY

London, May 31-(By A. P.)-The
facts OF the Irish situation were pre-
sented in a statement by Winston
Spencer Churchill, secretary for the
colonies, in the House of Commons
today, but the fate of the treaty
which serves to bridge the difficult
ties between Great Britain and Ire
land cannot be determined until
after the Irish elections, when those
chosen at the polls will be put to the
test of a treaty oath.
Mr.. Churchill, in the Commons
and Lord Chancellor Birkenhead, in
the House of Lords, announced
Great Britain's position as rigid ad-
hercrce to the treaty, which the pact
entered into between canon De-
Valera and Michael Collins is de-
clarcd to have menaced.
| The return of Mr.. Collins to Dub
lin with Arthur Griffith remaining iii
london, together with the announce
ment of a further portponement of
tie Dali Eireann's sessions suggests
the possibility of further negotiations
alter conversations between Collins
and DeNalera to see how far the
| points made at London can be met
a. Dublin.
Mr.. Churchill's speech seems to
| have created general satisfa ction, &C
cording to reports from Dublin.
while Messrs. Collins and Griffith
who heard the statement from the
distinguished strangers gallery ad
! judged it "a fair prese ntation of the
facts" but avoided further frater-
niZing with the members Of the
/ house.. declining an invitation to
luncheon in the parliament.
Sir James Craig, the Ulster pre-
mier, speaking in the northern par
| lament, said there wasn't a single
word in Churchill's speech to cause
the slightest misconception or mis-
understanding in Ulster. There
| seemed to be running through it the
right tone of dealing with those who
would in any way attempt to over
| throw the honorable understanding
arrived at in the treaty.
| Lord Birkenhead told the House
| of Lords that the British govern
ment stands for the treaty with Ire
| land in letter and spirit and would
not go an inch beyond it. Under no
| conceivable circumstances would the
government consent to the republic
/ cans becoming ministers in the Irish
government. and should such crisis
arise the resources of Great Britain
! were by no means exhausted.
| The governments policy cores
bonded with tie wishes Of the
| democracies of the two islands for
whose political fortunes the govern
mcnt was the trustee. The Dan
Eireann's action in January post
! poninS the elections was tragic de-
cision he declared. showing great
weakness, political inexperience and
| lack of Judgment on the part OF the
provisional government While the
! Collins agreement came as
an additional shock.
