BRYAN ENTOMBED
AT ARLINGTON
Crowds Gather at Church to
Pay Tribute to Memory
of C0mm0ner.

Washington-At the chancel where
many times he sought Gods guidance
in his public service, William Jennings
Bryan received parting benediction
from the people Of the national CAPT
tai.
He rests in a warriors grave beside
the unknown soldiers, generals and
privates in the ranks who died in
battle. His body lay in state in the
Church Of Presidents" a weather
stained, red brick edifice enveloped by
trees in the center Of the busting
capital. Through the night three com.
rades in arms Of the Spanish-American
war stood sentinels at his bier. Tween
ty thousand persons marched in line
through the front door to see the Com
moner.
The body was borne to the grave on
the knoll OF Arlington. The funeral
cortege marched through the center
Of the capital.
Brief services were held at the
grave. An army bugler sounded taps.
No salute was fired.

study Of law In the Union law college
at Chicago and, at the same time, as
a student clerk In the office of the emil
nent jurlst and statesman. Lyman
Trumbull, Of whom Mr.. Bryan said In
later years: ANY distinction i have
gained owe In great part to him."
Reflects TrumbuII's Influence.
Trumbull had been leading Demo
crat; then on the slavery Issue he be-
came Republican and as sudh had a
distinguished career In the United
States senate, but he refused to vote
for the impeachment Of Andrew Jack
son, and in consequence at the end Of
his term retired to private life. There
after he inclined strongly toward radi-
calism in politics and especially urged
governmental restraint of what he
conceived to be the too great power
Of concentrated wealth. Doubtless Mr..
Bryan received from him many Of the
economic ideas which he afterward
advocated.
AS a lawyer Mr.. Bryan was not not
ably successful. Some Of his associ-
ates said that he suffered from ''the
fatal gift Of language" He was more
given to talking than to studying; his
oratory was more eloquent than his
law was sound.
A year after his admission to the
bar he married Miss Mary Elizabeth
Baird, the only daughter Of a pros
porous merchant Of Perry, H., whom
he had known and courted In his COL
lege days. Soon after their marriage
Mr.. Bryan went to the Union Law col
lege, pursued the full course, and then,
when they removed to Nebraska, was
admitted to practice at the bar Of that
state. The removal to Lincoln, Neb.,
was made in 1887, on the invitation Of
Mr.. Bryan's former chum at college,
Adolphus r. Talbot, with whom a law
partnership was formed under the
style Of Talbot and Bryan.
The next year, 1885, saw the young
mans entry into practical politics. He
was sent as delegate to the Demo-
cratic state convention at Omaha.
In Congress In 1890.
Mr.. Bryan was first elected to con-
gress in 1890. In 1892 he was re-elect-
ed to congress by the narrow majority
Of 40. During that congress. the Fiji

Three Times Named
for Presidency of
the United States

When he electrified the Democratic
national convention of 1896 and won
Its nomination for the Presidency of
the United States with his Grown Of
thorns' and "cross of gold" speech
against the single standard of none
tary value, William Jennings Bryan
was but little known to the bulk Of the
American nation. He was at that time
emily thirty-six years old, the youngest
man ever nominated for the Presi-
dency. He was born at Salem, Marion
county, Ill.,, on March 10, 1860.
Young Bryan attended the local pub
lie schools and at the age of fifteen
entered the Whlpple academy at Jack
sonville, ILL.,, to prepare for college.
Two years later he entered the fresh
man class Of Illinois college, a small
institution at Jacksonville.
Wins oratorlcai Honors Early.
During his student life he was shy
and reserved, mingling little in the
sports and social diversions Of his fell
lows. He was fairly good student,
mathematics and Oratory. Indeed, he
had won distinction as an orator long
before going to college.
Entered Politics Early.
In the political campaign Of 1872,
when he was only twelve years old,
his father put him forward to address
q Democratic convention, and although
he was greeted with derisive laughter,
he closed his speech amid hearty and
appreciative applause.
Upon leaving college he began the

ty-third, he was a conspicuous lieuten-
ant of Richard p. Bland-of "Bland
Dollar" fame-in his campaign for re-
monetlZation and free coinage Of sill
yer at the 16-to-1 ratio, distinguishing
himself with three-hours' speech
against the repeal Of the silver pur-
chase act. He was, Of course, In
strong opposition to the monetary pol
Icy Of the Cleveland administration.
At the end Of that second term, In
1894, he declined denomination and in
the fall Of that year became editor of
the World-Herald Of Omaha, purpos-
ing to conduct journalistic campaign
against the Cleveland administration
In favor of free coinage of silver and
In favor Of his own election as United
States senator But his plans went
soon a-glimmering. The Republican
state committee had some time before
secured by contract the use of two
columns Of the editorial page Of that
paper to fill with any matter they
pleased; and they filed 1t daily with
matter squarely and aggresslvely OPP
posed to Mr.. Bryan's policies. He re-
tired from the editorship in disgust
Then John NJ. Thurston was elected
United States senator and Mr.. Bryan
was left in private life
He re-emergence came in 1896, when
he was sent as delegate to the Demo-
cratic national convention.
First Nominated for President.
David B. Hill, the veteran Demo-
cratic leader and United States sena-
tor from New York advocated main
tenance Of the existing gold standard.
Bryan replied to him in an impas-
stoned speech against the money
power" and in favor Of free silver;
closing with the almost hysterlcal per-
grafton: you shall not press down
upon the brow of labor this crown Of
thorns; you shall not cruelty mankind
upon cross Of gold"
That utterance stampeded the con-
vention. Mr.. Bryan was nominated for
the Presidency upon platform de-
handing the immediate remonetiZa-
ton of silver and Its free coinage Mt
the ration Of sixteen to one; and Ar
thur Sewall Of Maine, believer in the

months ago, when Mr.. Bryan was pass
ing through Washington, the President
had him to lunch. Though different in
almost every conceivable respect, the
two men seemed to have what seemed
sometimes to observers to amount to
an attraction for each other.
Mr.. Coolidge could stand for the high
tariff or any other issue which Bryan
thought pernicious, without creating in
Bryan's mind any thought of criticism.
In the same way Mr.. Coolidge was al
ways very soft spoken when 1t came
to speaking Of Bryan. 49,.

Leader Dies in Sleep
WAS APPARENTLY
IN GOOD HEALTH
Had Finished Preparations
for Religious National
Campaign-Counry
in Mourning.

Dayton, Tcnn.-William Jennings
Bryan died suddenly while he slept In
the afternoon at the residence oil
Richard Rogers here. Apoplexy, prob
ably aggravated by indigestion, Is sale
to have been the cause of death.
Bryan was sixty-five years Of age.
Apparently In perfect health, full OF
plans to make a nationwide fight fol
laws protecting the Bible against the
teaching Of evolution, Mr.. Bryan went
to his room for nap after q hearty
meal
Mrs. Bryan sent the family chauf.
four, who also acted as companion to
Mr.. Bryan, to awaken him.
Found Dead In Bed.
The chauffeur found Mr.. Bryan ly.
ing In an awkward position on the
bed, as II he had fallen while trying
to rise. There was no sign Of heart
action.
Physicians were then summoned.
They found that Mr.. Bryan had been
dead for some minutes.
Mrs. Bryan was in a wheel chair on
the porch when she learned that her
husband was dead. She was overcome
with grief. According to their init
mates, no more devoted couple ever
lived.
Devoted Couple.
Up to the time of her illness Mrs.
Bryan had made her one object in life
the comfort and care of her husband,
and since she has been an invalid Mr..
Bryan's tenderness toward her has
been most striking.
Her consolation in his sudden death
was that 1t took place ut time when
ne was happiest.
II am glad that he died without
pain" she said.
Mr.. Bryan was to have left Dayton
shortly for Knoxville, where he was
to make two addresses on the Scopes
trial and to outline his idea of a ma
tional campaign to arouse the people
to the danger in which he believed the
Christian religion stands today.
Last TriumphaI Tour.
Less than twenty-four hours before
his death the Commoner spoke to a
great crowd at Winchester, Tenn. He
was in fine form. He delivered q stir
ring speech and took delight in the
applause and In the evident affection
and admiration In which the crowd
held him.
Returning from Winchester, Mr..
Bryan's train was like his famous cleo
ton special of 1896. From the rear
platform he made speech after speech
at each stop, and the crowds cheered
him wildly and kept the train until Its
schedule was thoroughly disjolnted.

WANT BRYAN TO LEAD
 ANTI-EVOLUTIONISTS
Son of Deceased Man Re- serves Decision as to
 Presidency

Louisville, Ky. Sept. 5 R-Wil- liam Jennings Bryan, Jrr is the unanimous choice of the Anti-Ero- lution League of America as its next president to lead their n-wide fight against the teaching of the ev- olution theory.
 MT. Bryan, however, has not ac- ceptcd the office. When informed of the leagues choice. Mir. Bryan, who resides at Los Angeles, said he was unfamiliar with the organization and would have to know more about it's work before reaching decision.
 pr. John Roach Straton, of New York. who has taken the place of the late William Jennings Bryan, as leader of the fundamentaists in their fight against evolution, was elected campaign manager of the league last night to direct the na- tional drive.
 The organization, in session here yesterday, named its officers and outlined the icampaign, which is to start in Kentucky and spread to other states.
 Dr. Thomas II. Nelson, of Chicago, a field secretary of the league, fired the opening gun of the campaign with q bitter denunciation of the theory and its protagonists, declar- ing:
 The teaching of evolution theory in the public schools is unconstitu- tional because the atheists and ag- nostics who seek to teach their pusilanimous belief want to use in- stitutions founded on the Bible and the true theory that God created heaven, earth and man, and Is all in all.
 We fundamentalists have no ob- jection to any one studying and be- lieving evolution. but we do object 10 1t being taught from Christian pulpits and our tax-supported ed schools to the barring and abandonment of the Bible"

RECORDS FOUND.

Caldwell, Ohio, Sept. 5 Pl- The much sought barograph and records from the Shenandoah have been found and may aid the naval authorities in determining the cause of the smash-up. The barograph was located at Cam bridge and the log sheets there- from short distance away. They were in the hands of souvenir seekers.
 The authorities have not had time as yet to check up the read ing on the barograph records.
 The record Is to be photo- graphed and enlarged so that the authorities can more easily de- termine the altitude during the storm and before the storm.
 Captain George Washington Steele. Jr, commanding officer of the Lakehurst naval station, arrived here at S:55 a. m. He immediately set out with Com nander Jacob II. Klein and other Lakehurst officials to visit the scene of the wreck at Ava and Sharon.
 The paragraph record will show air pressure, atmospheric moisture and temperature. From the graph down on the automatic drum by a moving stylus, it will he possible also to compute how rapidly the Shenandoah rose In the buffeting of the storm before the buckling amidships occurred.

Lansdowne, Victim of Crash Had Recognized Possibilities - Last of Bodies Leave Belle Val ley.

Washington, Sept. 5 Pt-The dan ger of electrical storms to airships was fully recognized by Commander Zachary I.ansdowne, skipper of the wrecked Shenandoah. who lost his life in the disaster, in a manual on aviation prepared by him for the Navy Air Service.
 "The chief dangers from electri- cal storms," says the manual, "lie in the serious air gumps and eddie be of extreme violence and are cap abl of putting a threatening stress on the structure of the airship.
 Ut has been observed that these storms follow very definite tract, Also they are usually confined to certain periods of the year and ls = ticular localities. There are many places where thunderstorms have never occurred, although they pass within a few miles of these spots.
 'The importance Of this fact lies in that it makes 1t possible 10 chart the dangerous areas and storm tracts. If such a chart were avail able and warnings could be given of the coming of storms, it would be poor airmanship for any captain to allow his ship to be overtaken by a thunderstorm.

Increase in Theater Prices to Be Discussed
 At Meeting of Connecticut Owners Tomorrow

Local theatrical interests will be represented at gathering of owners and managers of moving picture houses tomorrow in New Haven, and at that time will be determined whether there will be increases in prices of admission.
 The management of New Britain houses will probably be governed to certain extent by the action of other theater owners although there is sentiment among New Britain interests against higher prices unless the amount of tax makes impossible to continue the present grade of shows at the present prices, it is explained
