"Mr. Bryan has nothing to do with this meeting. He tias not been consulted In the matter at all. While It Is possible that he amy b a direct beneficiary of the movement It IS not Instituted In his Inter est. All parties favoring the matter of public ownership afe Invited to Join with us regardless of former party affiliations. It Is not for the purpose of the creation of a new political party In any manner, but Is" simply a- Iragne favoring the ac quirement of public Utilities for the benefit of the public. I.enane Is Nonpartisan. "The organization Is wholly nonpartisan. We have received a number of letters from all parts of the state, many of them from republicans, who earnestly favor the move ment. We shall at once proceed to the organisation of public ownership clubs throughout the state and will send or ganizers out Into tho field. While the movement relates generally to the owner ship of all public utilities by the govern ment, tonight's meeting will devote itself to the question of government ownership of railroads. The recent Investigations held here In Omaha and elsewhere by the Interstate Commerce commission have shown that the only relief from railroad dovnonatlon Is In publio ownership. "The World-Herald Is not In favor of government ownership." This was the concise manner In which Coagreseman-elect Hitchcock, editor of the World-Herald, broke the attitude of his paper to representatives of the ownership league who called on him at his office to ssk him what he proposed doing. "We thought," said one of these repre sentatives, "that the democratic organ of, Nebraska would come out In favor of this movement that Is, we wanted to know whether It would or not. Do we know? well, yes." NEGRO ATTACKS WHITE WOMAN Colored Soldier at El Reno Throws Wile of Physician from tho dldeivnlk.

Glfford Plnchot, chief of the forest ser vice, today approved a rough draft of a report to the secretary ef agriculture re lating to the 4,000,000 acres of land In In dian territory, whose withdrawal for for est reserve purposes brought about criti cism of the sercetaries of the Interior and agriculture by a senate committee. The re port will be a defense of the withdrawal of the lands, which are located In the Choc taw and Cherokee nations, and will show, first that the proposed forestry reserve was asked for primarily by the Indians themselves; second, that the maintenance of a forest on the proposed area will fur nish a much needed continuous supply of timber and wood for local use and also pre vent disastrous floods along 1.000 miles of the Red river In Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, where Immense sums are now expended for levees: third, that the forest reserve would not take up all the residue of lands after allotments to the Indians. The report will further insist that the secretary of the Interior's action In tem porarily suspending allotments was ; not only within his right, but that he would have been remiss had he done otherwise. As a result of careful Inspection by the forestry bureau a .recommendation will be made to the secretary of agriculture, who Will undoubtedly transmit it to the secre tary of the Interior, to the effect that the area originally withdrawn can be reduced one-half J)y leaving out ; the part In the Cherokee nation and all the lands within twenty miles of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway In the Choctaw nation.

NEW YORK, Doc. 27. The concentration of wealth in the luinda of comparatively few was vigorously denounced and earnestly defended at the opening sessions today nl the fifty-seventh annual meeting of the American Association lor the Advancement of Science. Henry I-aurens Call . of . Washington, 13. C. attacked the right of John U. Rocke feller to Ilia fortune on the grounds that, he asserted, it was not the result of nat ural cuuses, but had been created through corpurate activity which the speaker ternud ficous." I During a subsequent . dlscusflon of "The Evolution of Property," Louis Q. Mcpher son, assistant to the. late Samuel Spencer as president of the Southern railway, re plied to Mr. Call. He declared that Sir. Rockefeller had had his financial struggle" and had done much good which was gen erally lost idsht of in the criticism which came with success. He told or Mr. ltocKe feller's attempt to stcure -5,0txi wltii which to cunstruct a pll line for oil. One man who refused aid met the financier when the pipe line had been laid. To him Mr. Rockefeller said: "I built that pipe line to make oil cheaper and 1 succeeded. I cut the cost more than half. And et they find fault." ' Caa't Afford to Est Ustrrs. Mr. Mcpherson then leis seriously told of a dinner party several years ago at the Rockefeller home when Mrs. Rockefeller explained the absence of oysters by say ing; "We like them, but are too poor to have them." This to Illustrate Mr. MePherson's point that a man might be worth 1'J0,CKA),kjo and till be short of ready cah If he kept his factories In operation. Wealth and railroads were but two of the many subjects discussed by the speak ers. After convening at Columbia univer sity, where they were welcomed by Presi dent Nicholas Murray Butler, the several hundred scientists separated into various groups, wbere many discussions were opened. lr.
