I got in the car then and stepped
on the gas and we proceeded. AS
we turned the corner Richard put
one hand over his mouth and with
his right hand beat him on the

We proceeded south along the bou-

a couple of sandwiches.
Burned Clothes at Home
"The body was covered with an
automobile robe we had brought
along for that purpose. We drove
around and then proceeded along the
path toward Hegewisch. When we
reached our destination we put the
body down on the grass and removed
the rest of the clothes and poured
acid on the face to make identifica-
ton more difficult.
I'VE put the body in the drain
pipe and pushed it in as far as we
could. We gathered up the clothes
and placed them in the robe and ap'

NEW YORK. June 7.-William
Jennings Bryan will vote for w. G.
McAdoo at the Democratic national
convention and will not nominate
DR.. A. A. Murphree, president Of the
University of Florida, as the origi-
nally announced.
Over long distance telephone from
Fort Valley, Ga, where he was last
evening, en- route north, Bryan ex-
planned ne is instructed for McAdoo
and will stay with him as long as
he remains in the race"
81 deeply appreciate" he said,
1.-The record vote given me by the
people of, Florida as delegate at
large. I am glad I was instructed
for McAdoo."
Informed that he was expected to
seek a dry plank in the Democratic
platform and make a fight for it, If
vention, Bryan declined to discuss
his plans.
May Repeat Dry Fight
During a speech at Albany, Ca.
late yesterday, however, Bryan
hoped he might help write the Dem
ocratic platform which, he said,
would be "distinctly progressive. -
1t is generally accepted as certain
that he will repeat at New York
his dramatic fight at San Francisco
four years ago for a dry plank. Nc
Adoo, being absolutely dry, may
find in the Commoner the oratorical
n @
the convention away from Governor
Smith.
The debate at San Francisco be.
tween Bryan and Bourke Cochran
of New York on the wet and dry
issue was one of the most remark
able incidents that ever transpired
at a, national convention. In fact, SO
great was the demonstration Bryan
stirred by his imprisoned answer to
Cockran's demand for a wet plank
in the Democratic platform that
Bainbridge Colby, shrewd, satirieal
and with great ability himself on
the forum, was called upon to bring
the delegates black down to earth
again" He did it effectively-and
the aging Commoner saw once more
the passing of a situation when, for
the moment. he held the multitude
swaying in the palm of his hand.

His coming to the New York con
vention assures another dramatic
day for, whatever may be the sub
ject he selects-and it probably will
again be prohibition-he will speak
There is no doubt that he will be

a considerable influence, il he so
desires, in behalf Of McAdoo.
1t will be recalled that some
months ago Bryan mystified politi-
cal leaders by announcing ne was
going to nominate a Florida son II
he was elected q delegate to the
convention. Later he announced that
his candidate was DR.. Murphree.

da. Murphree issued statement of

Is as far as the boom went.
Recently Mr.. McAdoo, in a state
ment to the people of Florida, ex-
pressed the hope that his friends
would vote for Bryan as a delegate.
Bryan received q tremendous vote
in the primary Tuesday.
PROGRESSIVE CANDIDATE
MUST WIN, BRYAN ASSERTS
ALBANY, Ga, June IF William
G. McAdoo is not nominated by the
Democrats in New York, some other
candidate who, like McAdoo, is both
dry and progressive, will receive the
nomination, declared William Jen-
nings Bryan in an address here
| Thursday.
! More than two-thirds Of the voters
| OF the nation are progressive, Mr..
| Bryan declared, and for that reason
the Democratic party should nomi-
nate a progressive candidate this
year and write a progressive plat
form. The Republicans, he said, are
sure to nominate Coolidge, whom Mr..
Bryan branded a reactionary, and un'
less the Democrats nominate pro.
|
sive leadership under the standard OF
third party. 1t was for this rea
son, he said, that he sought to be
elected a delegate from Florida to
the national convention.
Mr.. Bryan was severe in his crit
cism of the leadership Of the Repub
| lican party, pointing to the Oil scan
dals, the Mellon tax plan, the Mellon
revenue measure of the last congress
the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill anG
other measures by the Republican
party as examples Of the efforts Of
the Republican leaders to legislate ii
behalf Of the rich and at the ex
pense of the poor. The Mellon taz
plan, he said, was designed in the in
terest of less than 10000 persons
whereas the Democratic plan. which
was finally adopted and signed under
protest by the president. conferred
benefits on all but about 10000.
The benefits Mr.. Doheny expected
to secure through his oil deal were
small compared with the benefits
Mellon sought to confer on the very
rich through his bills, the speaker
declared, and the tariff bill. which
conferred benefits Of four billion dol
lars on the protected interests, was
worse than either.

"bull ring" round and round the
flag pole, from reveille to retreat every
day for 30 days. Branding, marking
and tattooing were about the only pun
ishments that were not permitted.
Uniform Never Varied.
The soldiers of those days, he said,
were extremely loyal and very few
ever deserted. Whenever a thief was
detected among the ranks, the officers
were nevr compelled to take action.
The men always knew how to get rid
of him.
The regulation uniform consisted
of blue shirt and blue trousers of one
weight. During cold and hot weather.
in the coolest regions of Alaska and
the desert of Arizona, the uniform
was always made of the same mate
rial.
The ration was known as the sgov-
eminent straight" and consisted of
beans, bacon, flour and coffee. Any
command that desired a more varied
bill of fare was compelled to provide
for its own wants by hunting.
Officers who attempted to study
during the early days were looked
upon with disapproval by their asso-
ciates. Finally, however. the War De-
partment prescribed certain courses
that officers were compelled to take.
Later schools were established, and
officers were compelled to attend.
Medals Are Awarded.
Colonel Keyes spoke briefly on the
work of the reserve Officers and in
vited the members of the association
to continue to use horses of the Fourth
Cavalry for their weekly rides.
Approximately hundred officers
Of the Regular Army and the Organ
lied Reserves were present at the
luncheon.
Reserve officers who qualified as ex-
perts, sharpshooters and marksmen in
the rifle and pistol practice held dur
ing the past year were awarded medals.
General Lewis presented them to the
following men: Lieut.. ]. W. Dean,
pistol expert and rifle sharpshooter /;
Capt. George II. Collins, pistol sharp
shooter and rifle marksman: Maj.
John G. Goedike, pistol sharpshooter ;
Maj. c. G. Carter, pistol sharpshooter ;
Maj. Ralph II. Durkee, pistol sharp

100000
ELIGIBLE To
VOTE IN CITY
Total Number of Polls and
Exemptions in Bexar
48,559.
PRECINCT "a LEADS
Nearly 800 Pay Polls and
4. Fail to Call for
- Them.

The city of San Antonio for the year
1924 will have a possible voting
strength of more than 10000. This
was disclosed Saturday when County
Tax Collector John A. Bitter made
public his compilation of poll tax pay
ments and exemption certificates taken
out for the year. The report shows
that there were 36634 polls pa,a and
1908 exemptions, making a total of
1927.
The total polls and exemptions for
the county including the city was 49,
800. Polls paid in the county, out
side the city were 1922. The total
number of polls and exemptions for
the entire county last year was 40
1853.
The heaviest payment of poll taxes
in the city was in Precinct "a where
1896 polls were paid. In addition
there were 95 exemptions taken out in
this poll. The smallest precinct in
voting strength was No. 1. where only
269 polls were paid and 81 exemp-
tons secured.
Expect 10000 to Vote.
In the county the heaviest pay
ments were in Precinct 81, where 93S
polls were pald. Inc smallest was
Precinct Ga with only % polls paid.
Two other county boxes showed large
payments. Precinct 81 with S45 and
90 with 4SS.
Based on the number Of poll taxes
paid this year, local officers predicted
Saturday that the vote in the primary
and general election in Bexar county
this year will run as high as 10000.
There will be no city election until
next year.
776 Fail to Get Paid Polls.
In addition to the persons who paid
their polls and qualified as voters,
there were 776 others who mailed in
checks but failed to appear and qualify.
Collector Bitter Saturday asked the
state comptroller for ruling as to
