Lincoln, Oct. 17-(Special Tele
gram-W. J. Bryan was natly and
distinctly accused OF betraying a
tyest by Mrs. Mamie M. Clanin, for
mer president Of the w. c. T. u,
last night when she rose before the
state convention to apologize for
Bryan's partisan speech In behalf OF
Hitchcock at the afternoon session.
A motion was carried giving ap'
proval to Mrs. Clafin's remarks,
Mrs. Clailin said that she made the
apology because she felt it was due
to those who heard with pain, sur.
prise and disappointment what Mr..
Bryan had said. She said that the
invitation had been extended to
Bryan a year ago, and at time when
his attitude toward Hitchcock had not
changed. When the committee
heard of his championship OF Hitch.
cock it did not want TO recall the in.
vitation because of what Bryan had
done in the past for the cause of pro-
hibition.
Promise Violated.
A promise, however, had been ex-
acted from him that he would conline
his speech to organization and that
he would not talk partisan politics.
This promise was fully and freely
made, and was repeated by him and
mittee for him within the week. She
said that those who heard him at the
afternoon session espouse the candi.

ber OF the organization had even Sc.

PEKING. May (Associated Press)-
The battle for the possession of Peking
was still continuing this morning with
the advantage apparently going to the
forces of Wu Pei Flu who are driving to
ward the capital from the south. Advices
were that General WI was forcing the
forces of General Chang from Chang Sin
tieu and that the tide of battle was roll
ing eastward toward the southern walls
of Peking.
Wa Tei-Fu's army this afternoon had
arrived at a point on the railroad between
Peking and Tien Tsin. The telegraph
staff at the station at Fengtai reported
that soldiers were approaching. Part of
his Slmy was reported marching across
the country to attack Chang south of Tien
Tsin. Traffic between Peking and the sea
has been blocked.
The Portuguese minister here. who is
dean of the diplomatic corps filed a pro-
test asserting that this was a violation of
the 1901 protocol, He said unless the line
was opened Immediately the allies would
be compelled to guard the railroad.
