STATEMENTS BY THE BEE WORRY HIM TITO Tlionxnnil Nclirnikn Volnnlccm Who I'nlil Thi'lr I'nrc Cntixc Him to Sec n NlKlitiiinrc llrynn'n .Military Record. LINCOLN , Sept. 28. ( Special Telegram. ) Adjutant General Barry gave It out thin nftornoon that bo would make a denial of the article published In The Bee this mornIng - Ing and that ho would prove that the re- ciults to the First and Second regiments did not pay their own transportatlo'n to the lilaco of mutttor. On this matter a numbs ref of soldier boys were Interviewed today. Ono of the officers of the Second said : ' If Barry mokes nry such etntcmont ha will get Into an ( argument with 2,000 men who have knowledge of the facts. Only a few of the recruits from the homo stations of com panies had their farce paid. The boys who came In from the farms of Nebraska paid their own way to Lincoln nnd they have never been reimbursed , " Itoadors of the Bee will remember that last summer Lieutenant IIart < gan , ono of the re cruiting ofilccra who.camo bock to Nebraska to get more men for the regiments In the field , in a public Interview bitterly con demned the administration for refusing to furnish transportation for recruits , while It was at the time paying the way for every recruit who wanted to get into the Third reglmunt. Ifortlgan was a democrat , but wan disgusted with the partisan methods of the state house crowd. He assisted some of the recruits with money from his own pocket. nnrry'n Statement. Following Is Adjutant General Barry's version of the matter : "LINCOLN.Sent. 28.189D. To the Editor of The Uec Sir : An article appearing In your paper of Thursday , the 2Sth Inst. , on page 3 , entitled 'State Footed the Bill and How Hoi- comb Conducted the Military Affaire , " In which it stated that Governor Holcomb , W. J. Bryan and Adjutant General Barry transacted military business and paid the expenses with state funds to the amount of Jill to bring In a crowd of Stormsburg men who Intandcd to enlist In the Second Ne- biaska volunteer regiment nnd stating that the men never went to camp , but wore called to the state bouse and after a con sultation with Governor Holcomb , W. J. Bryan and AJUtaut General Barry , returned H homo. "That portion of the above statement that the men never went to camp and were called to the state house for consultation by tbo parties named above I desire to state Is not truot as the records of the office show. The facts In the above case briefly elated are as follows : "On the afternoon of May 10 , 1898 , Com pany M , Second regiment , Nebraska National Guard , refused to muster Into the United States service. A company organized at Stromsbure desired to replace those who did not care to muster In the volunteer service and on May llth I wired Mr. Victor Wilson at Stromsburg to report with thirty-five re cruits at Camp Alvln Saundcrs for examina tion and muster in. After this action had been taken Company M held a meeting nnd reconsidered their action and decided to muster into- the United States service. That evening I Immediately wired Mr. Wilson at Stromsburg revoking the order for trans portation , but owing ito the fact that the order revoking did not reach the station agent until after ( bo recruits had departed the rccrulta from Stromsburg reported to the adjutant general' * office at Camp Saundern ton their arrival on the morning of the 12th , only to find that Company M had been mus tered into the United States service. Five of these men from Stromsburg enlisted as recruits in other companies in the Second regiments. In this matter of recruiting Com pany M , my action was in harmony with parts ono and four , general orders No. 13 , A. G. O. , Lincoln , Neb. , April 30 , 1898 , which reads as follows : HEADQUARTERS NEBRASKA NA TIONAL GUARD. Adjutant General , Office , Lincoln , Neb. , April 30 , 1898. General Orders No. 13 : 1. All company commanders of the First nnd Second regiments. Nebraska National Guard , are hereby ordered to recruit the'r commands to the maximum number allowed by law. viz. : Seventy-nlne (79) ( ) enlisted men. * 4. Company commanders are hereby nu- tlrarlzed to wlro transportation If necessary ( mnlJa should bo used if poslble ) to such number of recruits as may be necessary to Uon'od1' W4th th ° reBUlatlona nb ° ve mcn- By command of the Commandor-ln-Chlef. ( Signed ) F. II. BARRY , Adjutant General. "These paragraphs refute the statement made by The Bee correspondent , that all other persons offering themselves as re cruits had to pay their own transportation. ' "In the matter of payment of this ex pense' , why should the Horn of the rccnilte from Stromsburg be selected ? Was there not Just as valid reason for issuing orders for transportation for this particular com pany , as to authorize company commanders to recruit as per paragraph 4 of the above order quoted ? The reasons why this bill was not paid prior to the time as shown in the records are ns follows : "The tiansp rtotlon orders for these thirty- five men from Stromsburg to Lincoln , and thirty men from Lincoln to Stromaburg , were Issued to the Union Pacific railroad on May 12 , 1898 , and the same were presented to this office for payment on June 29 , 1899. ' The voucher received the approval of the proper officers and a warrant was drawn for the earne. This Item of expenditure will bo returned to the state by the general gov ernment under the act of congress reim bursing the state in the war with Spain. I am very respectfully yours , "P. H. BARRY , Adjutant General. " Ilrynn'ii MllKarr Record. Bryan's reference to bis military record nt O'Neill several days ago has revived the question as to whether or not ho was elected captain of Company A of the Third regi ment before being promoted to colonel. The j ! Intention of the popocratlc organizers of the reclment was to have Bryan enlist as a pri ' . vate , bo elected captain and then be raised to colonel by promotion. The night of thn election of officers for Company A it was elated openly at the meeting that Bryan withdrew from the race before a vole was taken , there being another candidate far tbo same position. It was generally believed that the free sllverlto withdrew to save I Deadly J.N.Murdock , 2708nodgra8S Street , Dallas , Teias , says : "My eon > had a terrible Cancer on his Jruv. for which the doctors performed a painful operation , cutting down to the bone and scraping it.

Books on Cancer and Blood Diseases mailed free by 8wl Specific Company , Atlanta , Ga , defeat , The meeting was secret , but nearly everyone present admitted that Dryan was not elected , Horace 0. Wbltmoro was elected to take the place of captain of the company , but later rmlgned for political reasons. In n recent Interview Dryan as- ported that there was no opposition to htm nnd that not until after he withdrew was Whltmoro a candidate. A paper Is bolng circulated for signatures of populists and democrats who were present at the election denying this assertion. Colonel Vlfqualn to day made the following ntalement concern ing the matter : "When I gave that Interview to the press Irifit week concerning the organization of the Third regiment , I never thought of Whlt moro. I remember now that ho was elected ' captain after Mr. Bryan refused to accept the position , "Ho wasn't connected In any way with the regiment after his resignation , and 1 oup- pose thatls the reason I did nol remember him. I never thought of him until I saw his name mentioned In Mr. Bryan's Interview ' given to the papers n few days ago. "Whltmore was slated for the position of first lieutenant when Uryan was talked offer for captain , no when Bryan refused to ac cept the position to whlcn ho was elected by an unanimous rising vote , Whltmore was chosen In his stead. The next morning ho came out In a long article , resigning from the position to which ho had been chosen. The whole production bore evidence that his move was premeditated. " ROASTS HOLCOMB AND BRYAN Lmrlen Htrbliln * Tell * Why Holcomb In Nominated Vote for Ilcpnb- Ilonnn. lie Snyn. HAiUTWBLL , Neb. , Sept. 28. ( Special. ) Following a call for a state mass conven tion of mlddlo-of-the-road populists to meet at Hastings October 5 to perfect a re organization nnd nominate a candidate for supreme Judge , Luclcu Stetiblns , chairman of the people's party organlzalion commit tee , has made public the following : "Tho fuslonlsta now "have " Governor Hol comb nominated for supreme judge. Is there no other man In the people's party competent to < bo Judge ? Is there no other man In the democratic party that could bo a proper candidate for Judge ? 'Is there ( no ether man In the silver republican party that could be a proper candidate for judge ? "Why Is It that Holcomb Is nominated for Judge ? "Is It 'because ' In his campaign speech at Hastings he proclaimed that In the pee ple's party the rights of corporations should bo prolocted ? Is it because in his message of 1897 ho assured the money trust that < there should bo no legislation detrimental to Us Interests , and Its -work of foreclos ing and confiscating the homes of Nebraska farmers Should be continued ? Was it because - cause ho opposed the Judge Scott deficiency Judgment bill ? Waa It because ho opposed , every measure calculated to save the farm ers' homes from confiscation ? Was It be- caueo ho attended democratic clubs and ' made democratic speeches ? Was It because ho was in favor of a democratic president In 1900. "I will tell you why It was that Hol comb -was nominated for supreme Judge. It was 'because ' he iva one of the most reliable men in this stale to bo depended uprm for the destruction of the people's party. "Now comes Brother EJdmlston ; ho smiles on all ; he speaks kindly to all ; he Is smoother than coal oil Itself ; he Is BO good ; ho baa taken a large amount of land under the rJirvcdr act that should have been pro- tecteu for future homes for Nebraska's boys and girls ; he Is the assassin who is to strike the last fatal blow and bury the people's Independent party. And there was no olher man In Nebraska that could act as chair man of the people's Independent party state central committee. "Now comes Neville , candidate for con gress In the Sixth district. Neville , hewill do anything. In Lincoln caimty there are 191 delegates to a county convention. Neville got twenty-eight delegates Into a county convention fourteen of them from North Platte , all picked and true men ; those from the country , some came by in vitation , few brought credentials. Nevlllo promised these people pie If they would be for him. The poor fellows , being inex perienced and hungry , said 'yes. ' When Novlllo got to the convention he promised ' Harrington that if he would get out of the i way he ( Novlllo ) would get the populists of Nebraska to elect Bryan , democrat , pres ident. But Harrington had some old politi cians behind him and they didn't say yes. Nevlllo Is a seed talker that Is , he de livers -well tout you can't tell any thing about It. ' "This whole thing tends to Bryan de mocracy , -which Is the same old dose. The best thing that can 'bo ' done for humanity is to kill Bryan right here and now. He can then turn to a butterfly , or a light ning bug and make a new start In life. My own convictions are to vote the repub lican ticket , to make a sure thing of It. "The Russians burned up their country to get rid of the Invader , Bonaparte. Bona- parto Is dead and , rotten , but the Russians still live and have Russia. So the populists can burn up fusion by voting the repub lican ticket and reorganize and still Hvo nnd have a peoples' party. But some think otherwise and dcslro a convention and re organization right now. Let us all go to Hastings October B and have a conference and do what is thought to be best.

( Special. ) The claim of C. W. Phelps against the state ( or $222.21 for services alleged to have been rendered 09 steward of the Institute for Feeble Minded at Beatrice was allotted today by Auditor Cornell and referred to Secretary Porter for approval. This claim grow out of the trouble which existed for several mouths between Governor Poynter and Superintend ent Sprague. An attempt was made by the chief cxecutlvo to remove Sprnguo from the Institution , but the latter resisted and re mained In odlco until some time after his successor was appointed. Phelps furnished the governor with testimony regarding Spraguo's official conduct and for doing so he was discharged. An aflldavlt signed by Governor Poynter was filed with the auditor In support of the claim of Mr. Phelps , In which It was stated that Superintendent Sprnguo had requested the removal of the steward , but that ho afterwards withdrew his request and con- seated to have him remain. Ex-Superin tendent Sprague denies the statements of the governor In another aflldavlt , swearing that ho did not withdraw his request for removal and adding , further , that Phelps was not In the employ of the Institution after April 1 , 1898 , from which day the claim was dated. In the face of these conflicting statements Auditor Cornell hesitated somewhat before taking any action on the claim. Today Sec retary Fred Jewell filed with the auditor a supplementary affidavit corroborating the as sertions of the governor. Mr. Jewell claims to have been present at the Interview be tween the Governor and the superintendent of the Institution In which the latter Is al leged to have withdrawn his request for the removal of Phelps. The claim was still fur ther strengthened by the admission of Mr Sprague that while Phelps was not steward after April 1 , ho was allowed to remain at the Institution until Juno 20. Tbo claim of Mr. Phelps amounts to $222.21. During the period of the claim another man acted ne steward , who will also be paid the same amount. AND POYNTEH AT GENEVA.
