Jennings Bryan was stilled forever.
About three o'clock in the after
noon of July 26, 1925, an unidenti-
fled person called the newspaper Of
flee and inquired: what time did
William Jennings Bryan die," The
editor who answered replied that
Bryan was still very much alive.
Afterward in merely routine way
he queried Dayton about Bryan's
activities. The reply was that the
Commoner had just eaten a hearty
meal and retired for nap at the
Dayton hotel. At exactly $40 an
other phone call and the unidenti-
fled person stated quietly: Bryan
is dead" Everybody assumed it
was the prank of some nut. But at
precisely $40 came the flash: "Bry-

trace the calls have been fruitless.

that Representatives Sacks and
George Bates, (R) Of Massachu-

Representative Dan McGehee,

Sacks said that, despite the pro-

Informal Nazi Protest
On MundeIein Made

German Ambassador Hans H.
Dieckhoff today was awaiting in
structions from Berlin regarding
possible formal protests here
against Cardinal Mundeleln'S anti
Hitler speech Tuesday in Chicago.
Informal representations were
made to the State Department
late Wednesday by DR.. Hans
Thomson, chancellor Of the en-
baSSy, while calling to arrange an
audience for the Ambassador yes
terday with Assistant Secretary
Carr.
After his visit with Carr yes
terday Ambassador Dieckhoff,
who has just taken over the en-
bassy post here, said he had re-
ceived no instructions from his
government thus far. Dispatches
from Berlin stated the ambassa-
dor had lodged formal COM
plants. This the embassy denied.
In the absence of further spe-
cIfic instructions, the ambassador
said yesterday "the incident is
closed"
Secretary Of State Hull, after
Dieckhoff'S call yesterday. said no
official Representations" had been
received as yet. It was admitted,
however, that Thomson called the
incident "to the attention" Of
James C. Dunn, chief Of the
Western Europe Division.
Dunn was reported to have re-
ceived Thomsen's remarks with
the simple reply that he had not,
as yet, read the speech or news
paper accounts Of it.

cision had been reached on the
plan or any of its details.
He said, however, that there
was a great need for uniformity
in civil service administration
and that there should be a uni
form law and rules governing
retirement.
In some departments, he said,
there is a provision for retire.
ment at 90; in others at SO and
still others at IS. This, he said,
is undesirable and should be
wiped off the books in favor of
general uniform schedule and
policy. '
Cost Not Involved
The President was asked
whether he disapproved Of the
Civil Service COMMISSIONS plan
because of the estimated cost in.
volved, said to be $8,000,0 900 a
year. He denied that the cost
had anything to do with his
statement, that no decision had
been reached.
The Presidents statement today
is somewhat at variance with the
opinion of members of the Civil
Service Commission, who believe
that a bill could be written that
would contain all the uniform pol
icies desired by the President.
The President today did not
close the door to the commissions
plan, however. He said he would
welcome further discussion Of the
matter.
Government officials in some
of the departments pointed out
today that a general survey of
employment conditions, including
wages and retirement, is now be-
ing conducted by the Bureau of
the Budget.

Nazi State Attorney Bonn de-
clared $50 priests of 1000 in

Displeasure aroused by the

the successor of Jewish high
priests. Ludendorff is promin-

movement.
His magazine, entitled "At the
Holy Source of German Strength"
stated:
""The Pope considers Jewish
high priests his SuperiOrS. Thus
he still receives the blessings OF
Jewish rabbis. e.. The rule Of
the Pope is historically, un-

can never hold its own without
Jewry."

an article that German-Aryan
tribes only fell into sin after they
were converted to Christianity.

Helping the Independents!

Minnesota's Farmer Labor
House majority has a sorry record
when it comes to the independent
theatre owners and operators OF
Minnesota. During the regular ses-
sion the Independent theatre men
wanted some legislation. They had
set their hearts on one bill-the so
called enforcement measure which
would take the Hollywood produc-
er combines out of the exhibiting
business. The little theatre owners
buy their films from these Holly
wood giants, and then find them
entering the show-house business
as competitors too. A bill favorab-
ly considered in other Northwest
states was given every assurance
of passage by Minnesota's liberal
house"-instead, it was killed in
committee during the regular ses-
sion, and observers in corridor,
chamber and cloakroom blame
Tom Schall's former "legman," Art
Jacobs, secretary to Speaker Har-
old Barker, for killing this indie
pendent sponsored measure.
In this special session Represen-
tative George Hagen, of Crookston,
a coming leader in liberal ranks,
introduced a bill to tax chain
theatres, on the same principle as
chain stores. The tax was gradual
ed according to number of seats
and number of theatres owned; it
would have placed four hundred
thousand dollars annually in Min
nesota's treasury. The bill was
killed in the Rules committee
Speaker Barker's cabinet" the
administrations House citadel.
Three successive efforts were
made on the floor by Representa-
tive Hagen to get the bill out of its
pigion-hole burial ground. He mus
tered II votes in the cause of the
independents, but he needed two
thirds, or 88. His last gesture, put
ting the Art Jacobs leadership on
record, was the listing of IS names
as authors of the bill. Commenting
on the measures violent death,
some of it's authors were cautious.
"Oh WELL" sighed friends of the in
dependent theatre man, "it's all in
the game of politics"

Attacks Go On
That the Jefferson Island con-
ferences were not complete sue
cess as far as party harmony be-
ing achieved was evidenced early
in the week by Senator Clark's
savage attack on the use of Fed
eral funds in violation of the
Criminal Code for propaganda by
the Office Of Indian Affairs, and
by Congressman Cox, Of Georgia,
who described the request of Sec
rotary Of Labor Perkins, that Cow
ernor Davey, Of Ohio, use the pow

state, as doctrines entirely for
eign to our American way of do
ing things"
Situation Summarized by Con-
gresham Rich
Congressman Rich, of Pennsyl-
vania, perhaps most accurately
summed up the present situation
when he said: "This Congress
must do something to end the I'M
certainty which clouds the citi-
zen's right to work without inter-
ference from either the hand of a
Federal bureau or the sanction Of
a labor organizer"
Way Shown BY Vandenberg
In the Senate, Vandenberg, Of
Michigan, offered an amendment
to the National Labor Relations
Act which would, among other
things, classify as unfair trade
practices unauthorized strikes, as
sessments for political purposes, or
the use Of restraint or coercion to
force membership in a labor Or
ganization. While the Vandenberg
amendment has no hope Of being
passed at this session of Congress
it will serve the purpose Of draw
ing attention to the obvious de-
fects in the Wagner Act and the
necessity for placing some respon-
sibflity at least upon the labor Or

Holstein Bull Jumps From Truck, Leads
Merry Chase

New Ulm-A Holstein bull, weighing almost a
ton, resented being lead to slaughter" and while
preparations were being made here to unload the
bulky animal he tore the rope that tied him to the
livestock truck, jumped from the cattle rack, and
sprinted lively away. Heading north, through the al
ley, Mr.. Bull got into garden and stood defiant,
paving up onion patch. Eluding his pursuers the
burly animal cavorted along the alley taking no
ton to inspect the hatchery poultry yard The woven
wire fence proved insurmountabe obstacle-the
bull went through it like creased lightning" The
chickens unaccustomed to such big, bold intruder
fluttered in all directions and escaped from the
closure through the Aperture in the fence whese the
bull had entered BY the time the bull retraced his
steps, he had become quite tame from sheer exhaus-
tOn.
