Determine His Position.
LINCOLN, Neb., Deo. 29. William J.
Bryan tonight said that In an interview
with him at Topeka, Kan., he had been
quoted as saying, referring to his possible

given out by him In London several months
ago and repeated several times since.
namely: He does not think the time has
come for him to announce that he will be
a candidate or to announce that he will
not be a candidate.
"Circumstances," said he, "must deter
mine that question, and it Is too far from
the convention to settle now."
Mr. Bryan will spend the remainder of
the holidays at his home at Fairview and
will depart January ft for the Pacific coast
on a month's lecture tour.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)

years in the penitentiary, has received ex
ecutlve clemency. Governor Mickey com'
muted his sentence today to ten years and
Issued :he following statement for publica
tion:
The sentence of Nicholas J. Gentleman Is
hereby commuted to ten years for the fol
lowing: reasons: Eleven of the Jurors who
sat on this case filed with the governor
their petition, dulv sinned by each of them.
as follows: "Tne undersigned Jurors, who
sat In the case of State against Nicholas
J. Oentleman. In Platte county, in Febru
ary, Idol. respectfully make the. following
representations: For several years before
the homicide OenUeman had bee,n drinking
excessively and the crime was undoubtedly
the result of his long and excessive use of
Intoxicants. Before removing fiom the
farm to I'latte Center he hid always been
a sober. Industrious, law-dhidtng man and
stood deservedly high In public esteem. We
understand his conduct in the penitentiary
unuersutna nis conuuci in ine peiiiirniimyi,
has been exemplary always and we feel
in view of that fact and the good reputation
he bore before he became addicted to the
use of liquor that a substantial reduction
of his sentence would be altogether Justifi
able." The other Juror, under date of November
20. vjua, addressed the governor as fol
lows: "As I was one of the twelve Jurymen
who found Nick Gentleman guilty In Platte
county, Nebraska, for which crime he has
since been serving a nineteen-year sen
tence In the penitentiary, I would be
pleased now at this time If you would re
duce lila sentence to a Commitment of time,
and in my estimation he has now served a
term adequate to his harsh act."
(Signed) FRANK MORSE,
One of the Twelve Jurymen.
The" verdict in this case was murder in
the second degree, and in commuting his
sentence to ten years this gives hi;n the
minimum sentence for this crime.
McBrlen Pleased with Meeting;.
Superintendent McBrien today gave out
the following statement:
For twenty-one consecutive years I have
attended the Nebraska State Teachers' as
sociation. I do not hesitate to say that
the session Just closed was the most suc
cessful meeting this association ever held.
This is said in no disparagement of all the
other successful meetings during those
twenty-one years, for every one of them
was a splendid success. There was one
thing, however, more prominent In the
session this year than In any other meeting
which I have attended. I mean the spirit
of fraternity that was manifest on every
hand
There was no political wire pulling
for the honors of the association. The
riT-imu tii riiuiifij j. n. v u iii uuuiw lu
the presidency of the association came
without solicitation on his part as a fit
ting tribute to one who In a school man,
who despises the legerdemain tricks of the
politician. Mr. Watorhouse has no su
perior among the high school principals of
the United States. He will have the unani
mous support of every school man and
school woman In the state to make the
next association a greater meeting than
the one Just closed.
The success of the meeting this year Is
due to the consummate leadership of Prof.
W. L. Stephens and the officers of the as
sociation, every one of whom Is deserving
of special praise. It was a great meeting.
