Bryan Was Most Careful
and Kind, and a
z Good Actor.
By SLOANE GORDON

E(Who accompanied Mr.. Bryan in all
his presidential campaigns).
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Bryan
that the newspaper correspondents
knew was not the Bryan that the
'',,public knew. This may seem strange
IN view Of the fact that no one ever
accused Bryan of concealment. And
Yet there was certain Bryan in
fluence that stayed the pens of the
writers who travelled with him.
Militant. aggressive, conspicuous as
Bryan always was. it is q matter of
marvel that so much about the mans
personal foibles was not made public.
There was. for instance, the Bryan
appetite. which has been referred to
more since his death than in all his
life. Bryan was an advocate, not of
temperance. so far MS drink is con-
cerned,. but of absolute prohibition.
subject. But it is probable that few
more Incorporate men ever lived. Not
in drinking, but an eating. Bryan
ate himself into an untimely grave.
There can be but little doubt of that.
SIX MEALS A DAY.
His restless energy called for fuel
and yet more fuel. On his campaign
trips it was not at all uncommon for
Mr.. Bryan TO eat six meals a day.
And they were not mere snacks.

tT'he Bryan special car was side

lhours and the campaigning party,
headed by Bryan, was escorted TO
great Southern home overlooking the
Potomac, not long after sunrise.
Tables had been provided on the
broad veranda and a bevy of South
eru girls acted as Mattresses. Bryan,
Of course, had the scat Of honor at
the head of the long table. He was
called upon TO ask the blessing. This

ham and eggs followed. Bryan ate
almost rayenously Of this delicious
ham in large portions and consumed
not less than six eggs.
By that time the pretty mattresses,
who were unaccustomed to such vorac-
ity. began TO focus their widc-eyed
attention on William j. Bryan, not
because of his political pre-eminence
but because of his gastronomic Prov

course, it gained him the lifelong
friendship of the writer's and their

The Bryan silent treatment" as ap.
piled to the colored chef who alb
sorbed the rubbing gin, was used on
other people and in other ways. Bry.
an didn't approve of card playing.
Aboard his special there were always
sinful gamblers-poker addicts-and
early in every campaign trip some one
would start a game. Bryan would.
invariably. after a brief interval Of
averted gazing, suggest that it was
unsecmly, this playing of cards aboard

that it might get to the country and
be commented on and capitalized
against the candidate and his party.
OF course, this was pure bunk. be-
cause no newspaper man would re.

KILLED THE GAME.
But the Bryan argument always
dampcncd the ardor of the poker en-.
thusiastS and killed the game. One
time, however, down in West Virginia,
a wreck or a storm or something,
compelled the side-tracking of the car
on mountain switch. Bob Rose,
if the writer's memory is not n fault
suggested that it might be all right
to indulge in a game of penny ante.
Bob loved the game himself. The late

seven times. He looked seven sad
ncsses into seven abashcd faces. Then
game busted up. That was the Bryan
way in those days.
Bryan was in addition to being
great orator and an actor of the
highest order, a stage manager of no
mean ability. He knew how to get

hccklers. But sometimes the hCcklcrS
failed TO materializc, and the Bryan
repartce was, perforcC, left to tester

LIKED HECKLING.
Wherefore Mr.. Bryan called the
correspondents into conference and
laid plan before them. Was it
right? Was it justifiablc? 1t was.
Unanimous verdict. And the writer
was promptly installed as the official
hccklcr--the goat. His job was to
stand ont in the crowd and await the
questioning. If no hecklcr came to

DEAD IS TOLL
Of ALABAMA
TORNADO
so Are Injured as Twister
Sweeps Through Four
Counties

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Oct. 26.
Seventeen persons are dead, fifty
injured and thousands of dollars
of property damage was done by
a tornado which swept three coun-
ties in Alabama Sunday, accord
ing to a survey of the storm area
today.
The storm, which struck first
in Pike county. swept through
Crenshaw, Bullock and Barbour
counties, laying to waste buildings
and leaving death and destruction
in its path.
Seven of the reported dead were
white persons and ten negroes.
Relief Work Under Way
Relief work was reported already
under way from Troy and other
cities in the devastated territory.
No large towns or cities were in
the path of the storm. Those who
were victims were mostly killed
when their houses collapsed under
the terrific wind, and they were
buried under the wreckage. The
damage done was largely to small
communities and outlying farms.
The heaviest loss of life was in
the territory surrounding Troy, in
Pike county, where the twister first
descended, after blowing in from
Crenshaw county. From the Troy
vicinity it ranged eastward into
Barbour and northward into Bull
lock county, where it spent its
force.
The storm left trail of wreckage
ir it's wake. Houses, fences and
outbuildings were blown to splint.
ers, trees uprooted. and terrific
downpOur of rain followed immedi-
ateIy behind the wind. This and
severe electrical storm hampered
rescue operations and prevented an
accurate check of the death toll for
several hours.

RESIGNATION Of

French Minister Told Entire

international News Service

PARIS, Oct. 26.-Demands for
the resignation of M. Joseph Call
laux, French finance minister, were
made during a stormy session OF
the cabinet today.
Caillaux, who steadfastly refuses
to resign, and who also refuses to
accommodate his financial policy to
the demands of the radicals, was
under a heavy fire during the brief
cabinet session.
eff YOU don't resign we will hand
in the entire cabinets resignation,
NJ. BRAND. foreign minister, de-
clared TO Caillaux.
Premier PainleVe is said to have
also urged upon NJ. Caillaux that
he resign in order that the remain
der OF the cabinet could carry on
It's work. His, request was backed
not only by NJ. BRAND but also By
Minister of Public Works Laval.
PainIeve Is Caustic
Premier Painleve was caustic in
his criticism of Caillaux before the
cabinet and laid particular stress
upon Caillaux's defiant speech yes
to-day when he denounced the CAPT
tai levy and said he would make no
concessions to the demands of the
chamber majority.
Caillaux stood pat. With his eyes
flashing and his voice raised to
pitch which made it audible outside
the cabinet chamber. he replied:
II understand perfectly what you
desire. You want me to resign so
that you may form another cabinet
without me.
II refuse.
II will go before the chamber
with the entire cabinet and fall
with 1t and not alone"
Cabinet AdjOurns
After this dramatic stand bv
Caillaux the cabinet adjourned until
tomorrow, in an effort to patch up
the situation. Public opinion seems
to agree with Caillauxs prediction
that the entire cabinet will fall
when it goes before the chamber.
An official communique strives
to make it appear that all is well.
1t states that Callaux read his
financial projects to the cabinet,
but had only one copy and, there
fore, it was impossible for a gen
eraI discussion. The official state
ment says that cabinet members
will be furnished with copies OF
Caillaux's projects this afternoon
and will have an opportunity to
study them before tomorrow $
meeting.
A meeting with President Dou-
meTgue, which was to have followed
at Elysee palace, was postponed
until tomorrow.
Caillaux's flat declaration against
the capital levy and against reduc-
ticn of the interest rate on govern
ment rents Sunday was believed to
make his position untenable in a
ministry backed by a majority
claiming radical and Socialist sup
port. These elements in the cham
Der are pledged to q capital leyXs
