BIER
Church Doors Close, With
Many Waiting, to Prepare
for Last Simple Rites

Clouds hung low and heavy
with rain over the Nations Capt.
tai today as the friends of VIII
liam Jennings Bryan gathered to
attend his funeral in the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church
and later the interment in Ar
lington National Cemetery.
The body lay in state at the
church throughout the morning,
and was viewed by thousands.
Through the early rain and a
later period Of less inclement
weather, the throns of young and
old hastenede to the bier.
Passage is Hurried
Sightseeing buses drew up be-
side the church, discharging hum
dreds of visitors. Street cars, pri-
vate automobiles, and taxicabs
brought others to the door. The
passage of these people into the
church was so hurried, and their
egress so correspondingly swift.
that the line seldom extended fur
ther than the lower step OF. the
entrance.
Even at noon, when attendants
barred the door and police waved
latecomers away, the crowds con-
tinued to hurry to the church. At
the foot of the steps they paused
vainly entreated the obdurate of
ficers, stood there uncertainty for
a while, after the manner Of
crowds, and drifted away.
BY this time, too, the tickets
for admission to the services, to
begin at 2:45 o'clock. were practi-
cally exhausted, and the tardy ones
were sent off empty-handed. Many
gave up, to satisfy themselves with
the radio broadcast of the church
rites. Those who did not, gathered
at the church, to watch the more
fortunate as they entered, and TO
catch a glimpse of the Bryan fam
lily and friends.
Banked With Flowers.
The church services vii be con-
Quoted against a huge bank of
floral pieces sent as the tribute of
foreign governments, friends and
admirers and various organizations.
One Of the large pieces is a cross
of red flowers, said to have been
sent by the Ku Klux Khan. The
tag of the sender was torn OFF by
some unknown person and church
officials said they did not know the
identity of the sender.
John r. Wright, the undertaken
in charge. informed Policeman
Kelso Rice, the guard of the cot
fin, that it was the gift of the
hooded organization.
Another piece which attracted
considerable attention is the of
fering of the jackson Democratic
Association. 1t represents, in
flowers, an open Bible, with the in
scription, Prince of Peace"
A large cross of lilies, given by
the Bryan family, stands directly
before the bier. Mrs. Ruth Bryan

and Josephus Daniels. former Secre-
tary of the Navy and close friend
of Mr.. Bryan, supervised the. Gis,

Police estimated that approx
mately $4,000 persons certainly no
less-passed through the church to
view the body as it. lay In state

BIC BRITISH
STR|kE. IS
AVERTED
Mine Operators Withdraw
Notice Of Wage Cut After
offer Of Subsidy
By DAVID M. CHURCH
international News service

-
LONDON, July 81 Britain's
COL strike, which thre bened to
assume the proportions Of indus
trial civil war was averted at the
eleventh hour today.
The mine owners agreed to
withdraw for two weeks their
notice cancelling the present wage
agreement as from midnight to-
night and on this basis the miners
executives telegraphed their dis
trict organizations to continue
working in the mines.
Subsidy Promised
Notices suspended, continue
work was the laconic message
which went out in all directions
from union headquarters and
marked the end al least temporarily
OF the threatened industrial tie-up
of, England.
1t Is understood, that the mine
owners withdrew their notice sus-
ment only upon a promise that the
coal industry would be subsidized
by the Government to the extent
of $50, 10000 to help maintain the
present wage scale until next
spring.
Premier Baldwin's suggestion at
midnight, after an apparently hope.
less series of conferences, was the
foundation on which the govern
ment built its hape that the crisis
would Be averted.
Baldwin's Suggestion
The Premier proposed that a
royal commission of inquiry deter
mine equitable conditions in the
coal mines. while the operators con-
tinued the existing wage scale on
condition that the government bv
a subsidy make up any losses they
would suffer. All day yesterday
Baldwin had withheld the subsidy
offer.
The situation was admittedly
menacing when the meetings of the
Premier and leaders of both fac.
tons were resumed today. A doubly
serious aspect was given the crisis
by the threatened sympathq strike
of all the great transport unions
This would affect the railway en-.
gjneers' and firemen, the transport
workers, and the railway clerks,
bringing virtual paralysis OF
Great Britain's Industrial ma
chinery.
Clash in Hyde Park
Secretary Lee, of the mining as
ISOLATION, during the course of the
long drawn conferences, said that
apparently only a miracle could
avert the strike, Secretary Cook,
speaking for the miners, said that
settlement apparently was further
away than ever.
Later Cook declared, 1T is now
too late to prevent stoppage OF
work by miners in the day shift
who came up out off the mines az
2 o'clock this afternoon and broughE
thei. tools with them"
Outbreaks of violence continued
as the hour for the walkout drew
near.
Fascists and Communists again
clashed in Hyde Park, and were
dispersed by police.
In the anthracite district OF
Wales, where miners already arc
on strike, mobs attempted to repeat
their attacks of yesterday on the
colleries. Squads of police, with
drawn batons, drove them back.

FLIES OUT FROM MIGRATE, SAYS
 PRICE IS STEEP
OLD TIMER ON WAY TO STATES FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT
 IN ALASKA SINCE 1896

Tt was fine and a quick trip, but the price is a little too high" H. I. Grochong, oldtimer from the interior stated to a Gateway representative with reference to his recent trip by airplane out from McGrath to Fair banks, which trip was made ill four and half hours Mr. Groshong was in Seattle two years ago receiving optical treatment and is going back again this time to complete the treat ment and come back to Alaska next spring. During his stay in Seward he is guest of the Van Glider. He sails Sunday for Seattle.
 '"This fall there will be all the way from 50 to 50 residents in the Nc Grath district who will come out by the airplane route" continued Mr. Groshong, but owing to the present standard of prices charged, many will be forced to come out over the snow trail, which will require about F days, providing the present prices are still in force. However as anoth- CT airplane company will shortly en- ter the field it is believed prices will be lowered. We appreciate the fact there is considerable hazard attached to commercial flying in the interior, especially when making landings, but even so, about dollar minute seems to be quite steep"
 Scarcity of Water
 In recent years for some unknown reason, there has been shortage of water throughout the district, MT. Groshong stated. Where once the ground was very wet and rain fell profusely during the season, it is now quite the reverse. This has hampered mining operations to a great extent, and has discouraged many. There is quite lot of inactive ground in the region. Mr. Groshong has been oper- ating on Birch Gulch, tributary to Nixon Forks, Tokotna, for the last eight years. His ground is located approximately so miles from McGrath which is the nearest trading center MT Groshong said today that he has not spent winter outside since 1896, but has been to the States since | that time, the last time he was out 1 being two years ago.
 Among the big operators in his dis trict is Vic Mathews, who with a crew of about ten men is installing a hy- draulic outfit on his Hidden creek claims. Just abaout the time MT. Gvoshong was leaving Mathews was bringing in bunch of pipe. Mathews has also started sluicing down the sides of the ground, getting it in shape prior to turning the plant on.
 A ten stamp mill is being operated by Ed Whalen at Nixon, on property leased from the Treadwell company He has a crew of about eight men or the job.
 The hard rock men, John Strand anC Charles Pearson, are in very rich ore some of which is said to run $4,00( to the ton. They are doing a great deal of development work this spring
 and it is reported they are awaiting
 the arrival of mining representative
 from the States with view of dispos ing of their claims.

Miners Propose To

LONDON, July 3 R)-Miners dele gates representing all the coal fields in the country at private conference today decided to resist the operators proposal to decrease wages and make an eight hour day instead of seven hours. The district unions will be urged to insist on maintaining the na- tional principle in the settlement and spurn any pay inadequate for the in- creased cost of living.
