WILLIAM J. BRYAN INTRODUCES HIM - Awfml Effecta of Greet Wnloh Feed Upo the Uvea of Little Chil dren Are Graphically , Portrayed. (From a Staff Correspondent) LINCOLN, Deo. 28. (Special Telegram.) The State Teachers' association meeting closed tonight with an addreaa by United Rtiitea Senator Beverldge. . The occasion was made more Interesting by the fact that W. J. Bryan Introduced the speaker, It being remembered that these two ex changed compliments In speeches at Lin coln during the campaign. While making his speech Mr. Bryan managed to get di rectly In front of Mr. Beverldge. While In this position he said, Intending to com pliment Mr. Beverldge on his child labor law, "Mr. Beverldge Is behind a Bill." The audience at once began to laugh and cheer. Mr. Bryan stopped, somewhat abashed, and again repeated his statement amid renewed laughter. Then he glanced behind him and discovered be waa speak ing a very evident truth. The next meeting place of the association will be decided by the new executive com mittee In February. Senator Beveildge aald In part: Nothing shoWa how greed forgets hu manity as child slavery. There Is some thing wrong with a prosperity which Is o Immense that It Anally cornea to feed upon the Hves of little children. Men who make money by working Infanta are mak ing too much money. There are, st a low estimate, BnO.000 chil dren under 14 at work In cotton mills. f-tass factories, sweat ehops, mines and ike Industries. Those whom such toll does not kill are being ruined for cltlsenahlp, We are turning out. at a low estimate. (00U adult Iondon "hooltgane" every year: anil these become In turn the parents of hundreds of thousands of other degene rates. And so this clvto pestilence tioU k . .4 .hHa.U It must be stopped If not for the aake of these cnlldren themselves, then for our own eake; If not for the sake of common humanity, then for the sake of the re ,t.iin'a uf.lv. For this republic la based I.n citiianshiD. We cannot sow the winds today without reaping the whirlwind to morrow. If everybody. Including the most earnest advocate of "states rlghu" could agree on a a national quarantine Uw to keep out yel low fever, which does not kill twenty peo ..u in iniv v.an hnw much more should we agree on a national child labor law to stop a practice that actually kills thou sands of children and lrreclalmably ruins tens of thouaands every year? To' be sure no great Industries were maintained upon yellow fever and great Industries are maintained upon child labor, jjualneaa interests were not advanced by the bubonic plague, but buslnesa Interests are advanced by child slavery. But Is that an argument? Have we become so commercialized that, while we forget "states rights" when providing against yellow fever and the bubonlo plague, we remember "states rights" when providing against the murder and ruin of little chll drenT However, the theory of "states rights' Is not affected by the child labor bill pend ing In the senate. - The bill affects child labor only In factories, mines ami sweat shops. This Is as far as It should go at present. It does not touch any healthful employment of children anywhere In the republic It cuts out only the cancer of murderous and debasing child slavery. Association Endorses Bill. The association voted unanimously ask ing Nebraska senators and representatives In congress to support Senator Beverldge' child labor bill, adopting the following reso Resolved, That we, the Nebraska State Teachers association, in our roriy-nrst an nual session, over 2.000 strong, ungual! nedly endorse the Beverldge child labor bill, ana tnat we unanimously appeal 10 our senators and representatives In the national congress to work ror ana vote for the enactment of said measure into a national law. sober up, Mayer driving his team.

Mr. Cassatt was 67 years old. Though Mr. Cajtsatt's death was unex pected, he had been In ill health for nearly a year. His condlton was aggravated by an attack of whooping cough which he contracted from his grand children while at Bar Harbor In September. He never en tirely recovered from this attack, and when he returned to Philadelphia he remained for several weeks at his country home in Haverford. He was much Improved by the rest and early In October began going regularly to his office. Shortly afterward he waa again stricken, having contracted a heavy cold. At that time It was denied that his condi tion waa serious and there was no Intima tion that he was suffering from any heart affection. During November he waa auffl clently recovered to resume his work and he continued attending to Important mat ters until his birthday, December 8. Again It was reported that be waa seriously 111, but this was denied. Mr. Cassatt spent much of hla time driv ing and was out as late as Monday.

While not feeling entirely well, Mr. Cassatt arose from his bed this morning, but remained in his room. He seemed In good spirits and hla family waa not alarmed about his condition and had no thought of hla death. Shortly before 1 o'clock he Buffered an acute heart attack and became unconscious.

Some months ago Mr. Catsatt made a change In the organization of the com pany, which put new duties on some of the higher officials. Among these was Samuel Rea, the third vice president, and It waa suggested at the time that the act was equivalent to placing Mr. Rea In line for promotion. Pending the election of a suc cessor First Vice Prealdent Green will as sume charge of the railroad company. The operation of the railroad In the last year is said to have had much to do with the breaking of Mr. Caaautt's health. Ha was In Europe when senaatlonal develop ments In the Interstate Commerce com mission Investigation of rebates brought him borne. Deprived of bis rest abroad, he plunged Into routine work until he went to Bar Harbor. Aside from being the head of the Penn sylvania railroad, Mr. Cassatt was presi dent of six other companies and a director In twenty-three concerns, principally trans portation companies, banks and trust com panies. His wealth Is estimated at between fj0,009,000 and I75.OUO.0O0. , The news of President Cassatt'a death caused a great shock to people of Philadel phia. Few at first credited the report. Tha best information the public had had was that he had a slight cold and was rapidly improving. This InVormation was given out last Monday. Nothing further could be learned of his condition until shortly be fore 2 o'clock today, when a telephone mes sage was aent from hla private office to the Associated Press announcing his sudden death.
