 0F TENN. DOCTOR
Bryan First Consulted Physician
 on July Y

Chattanooga, Tenn, July 27 Pl-- William Jennings Bryan died as the result of acute dilation of the heart in the opinion of pr. Raymond Wal lace, Chattanooga physician and sur geon, who was consulted by Mir. Bryan in Dayton during the Scopes trial and who made an examination of the commoner here Friday. Dr. Wallace was first consulted by Mir. Bryan on Friday, July IT, at Dayton. After court had adjourned for the weekend Mir. Bryan sought the advice of the Chattanooga physi- clan, telling him of the diabetic con- dition from which the commoner had been suffering for several years, Mir. Bryan at that time, complained of having slept poorly while in Day ton. He said that two years or. more ago his urinal tests had shown ten per cent sugar but that he had been able to reduce this through dieting. A specimen was secured by Dr. Wal lace and analysed in Chattanooga. MT. Bryan telephoned Dr. Wallace the evening of July 17, when the physician reported that the test showed only two per cent sugar. nor acctone. Diecatc and acetone, Dr. Wallace explained, are present in extreme diabetes cases. Mir. Bryan seemed believed by the physi- clans report and told Dr. Wallace that he would delay coming 10 Chat tanooga for further consultation.
 The physician advised him to re- frain from further strenuous actiy- ity and particularly advised against delivery of a speech which the com moner intended making before an audience at Pikeville, Tenn. the fol- lowing Sunday. The Pikeville ad l. dress was delivered as planned, however, and in the days that fol- lowed, Mir. Bryan's strength. was se- verely tested by developments at the evolution trial.
 Last Friday, week after Mir. Bryan first consulted the Chatta- nooga doctor. the commoner visited Dr. Wallace here and underwent an examination. Mir. Bryan still con- plained of sleepless night.
 The examination, Dr. Wallace said showed slight dilation of The heart with arrythmia (missed beats) Mr. Bryan's blood pressure was about normal G32-90.) The physi- elan also noted odemya or swelling of the ankles, which he attributed 10 the faulty heart action.
 Dr. Wallace said that the com moner seemed to be surprised but not unduly alarmed when told Of his heart trouble, Mir. Bryan was again advised 10 seek complete rest and to be careful of his diet.
 Dr. Wallace's opinion that Mir. Bryan's death was the result of l acute dlation of the heart is based upon the results of his examination last Friday and not upon informa tion as to the immediate circum stances of his death
 Discussing Mir. Bryan's case infor- mally with a Times representative l Dr. Wallace stated that the eXamina- ton had convinced him that Mir , Bryan's condition was such that un- lcss the greatest precautions tc guard his health were taken, a fata " attack would not be surprising.

The American commissioners. are
attempting to prove TO the French
that their proposal is really more
Favorable to France. than the pro.
posal of cai.aux himself. BY
providing for initial payments of
from $33 100000 to $50 ,O00,0 900 for
ten wears, they estimate that'

that France can meet annual pay

leans declare this is unnecessary
and say financial 4cataclysm would
automatically suspend payments,
but the French insist that they
need such u provision.
American Proposals
The outlines of tlfc American
plan are authoritativcly understood
to be as follows
Initial period Of reduced pay

Average annual payments OF

The French are understood to
have boosted their original pro-
po>al to the point where they now
81! they can pay 500, 100000 It
