Headquarter and Tells of the
Desk Episode.
HE DOES NOT SEE HITCHCOCK
William Jennings Bryan dropped
Into town for a few hours yester
day, on his way to Fremont to speak
at the tractor ahow and "at the Chau
tauqua. The former cabinet member's face
looked a little more tense than it did
on his last visit hero. He was full of
business as he hurried to the federal
building, and then over to the city
hall, where he interviewed Mayor
Dahlman for a few minutes. He was
in no great hurry, but still did not
find time to call on the democratic
United States senator. He was alone
and without big familiar bulky, black
traveling bag.
"What about that desk?"
"You want to know about that tek
do you?" he replied. Well, I'll tcU you. !
For sentimental reasons I wanted to keep
that desk because on It I signed all of
my peace treaties. I arranged with Secre
tary Lansing to have another denk put

In payment for the new dcak. I am sure
the old deak would not have brought that
much as second-hand furniture."
Closeted with Mayor.
Mr. Bryan and the mayor conferred be
hind closed doors. The mayor's account
of the conference did not cause any
stir.
"Ha Just csme up ta see l.ow I wss
getting along." reported the mayor.
Leaving the mayor's office, Mr. Bryan
went to the elevator entrance on the
third floor and looked expectantly as the
cage whlued by, the conductor shouting
through the bars, "Uolng up!"
"Well, I went to go down," replied Mr.
Bryan, smiling.
He then wslked over to the southeast
corner of Eighteenth and Farnam streets
and proceeded on an east-bound car.
"He's looking thinner than usntal." waa
the comment of several city hall officials.
Before going to the city hall Mr. Bryan
made the ofllee of district attorney In
the federal building his headquarters
to transact a llttlo personal business.
His brother-in-law, Thomas Allen, re
cently appointed to the district attorney
ship, waa not here.

The Interviewer facetloualy obeerved
that he presumed Mr. Brysn meant to
use the verb "get together" In its peace
able sense and the ex-secretary of state
conceded with a hint of a smile that he
did so mean to use te verb.
"Do you think that the procedure of
the admlnlstrstlon looking to this end
is likely to bring about pcae?' he was
asked.
"Well. I don"t tare to Indulge In p-r
pheay," he said. "I leave pro. lies , lng
to the newspapers. They are good at
that."
trona for Better Roads.
Fo. coming down from great, throbbing
questions of International Importance to
the humbli subject of road a, Mr. Bryan
let It be known that he believes that sev.
ersl great highways should be bul t
across the republic from coast to coast
snd fed by Isterals. He believes the tl ne
Is near at hand when the federal govern
ment will assist tbe states snd counties
In building such roads; also that convict

"I mention these as aome ot the devel

am hoping that the matter may be taken
up In Nebraska.
"I would like to aee our state take up
the question of good roads In a system
atic way and begin building highways.
first along the main traveled lines, aod
then crosa roads connecting these, until
the advantage of good roads are broug-ht
to all.
"It Is only a question of time until the
federal government will lend assistance
by supplying part of tha funda needed
for interstate roads. I am satisfied that
hard roads will ultimately play an Im
portant part In the regulation of railroad
rates."
Mr. Bryan stated that ha will apend
about three weeks more this summer In
chautauqua work.

Wheat Takes Drop
of Six Cents on the
Omaha Grain Mart
With fairly heavy receipts and becauss
of a general belief that wheat haa been
too high as compared with the futures,
prices sold off heavily again. Old wheat
sold at I1.3S91.I0, 6 cents lower than last
Saturday, and new at 911.17, I to f
cents lower.
Another cause for the drop, tt was
asserted, la due to the fact that m tilers
have become pretty well stocked np with
old wheat, and that because of little for
elgn demand, there la no output for a
surplus.
Corn failed to sympathise with wheat,
and prices were U down to 1H cent ue
from Saturday, selling at 6874 Ho per
bushel.
