Mr. Bryan declared that tkere could be no objection to anyone making a campaign contribution.' -"If ' that -contribution repre sents his patriotic Interests in a ' public cause." Ho said it was the duty of he people to contribute to the expense of dis seminating campaign material by way of education. ' It had been charged, he said, that Chair man Cortelyou had received contributions from 6,000 contributors, "as . If," he said, "It was a matter to -deserve recognition that so many people had contributed." Even If this were true,'-' he argued that they were a very slim fraction ofj.the several million voters fo- Pif sldmiVBoosevelt. " As for the democratic party, Mr. Bryan said that In 1897 '1t Wd' more contributions than In any previous campaign. Many men would bet 600 on the result of 'an election who would not contribute- $5 to a campaign fund. Mr. Bryan, however,, voiced his opposi tion to the principle of allowing only a few . men to provide campaign funds. "It follows almost "Air a matter of neces sity," he said, "that these few men will have an Influence after the election en tirely out of proportion to their numbers or to the influence they ought to have." In other words, Mr. Bryan said, "without any intention oC yielding., to, the entreaties of these men, without any conscious sacrifice of the publla interest to the private claim, tfcoee who Contribute large sums naturally and almost necessarily have this Influence because of the contribution." Mr. Bryan said he was glad President Roosevelt' had taken the -matter up. "He has spoken so plainly on the subject of publicity of campaign contributions." said Mr. ' Bryan. tvat l-Qirf sure that. the fact that I am a democrat will not place sus picion upon my argument, for 1 think I have the same Interest In this matter that the president has expressed."

M'PHERSON KEEPS OUT OF IT Federal Jndg;e Refuse to Interfere in Missouri Sunday Fight. INJUNCTION ASKED FOR DENIED Derision Victory for Jadite Wnlliri of Criminal Court Salts Mast tio Through the Stat Courts. KANSAS C1TT. Mo . Jan. 30 Judge Smith Mc Pherson, In the United States district court here, today handed down a decision declining to interefere with tho county of ficials of this county In tho enforcement of the Missouri statute making unneces sary labor on Sunday a misdemeanor. Tho derision was rendered In a ca.o brought In the iamc of Nance O'Ncll, the actress, and the local theaters, who sought permanently lo 'enjoin the county grand Jury from Indicting thein. The decision is a victory for Judge Wil liam II. Wallace of the criminal court, who, In his campaign for Sunday observance, has caused the Indictment nf 2.000 stage folk and theatrical manager and attaches, as well as hundreds of storekeepers, for vio lating the Sunday laws. All have been re quired, to give heavy bond. None of the cases has Come to trial, the theatrical man agers, who have furnished the bonds In the various cases, havlrlg declined an offer of Judge Wallace to bring about a tost case In the lower court. The complainants last Saturday secured a temporary Injunction restraining the grand Jury from Indicting them. They sought a permanent injunction, which was today denied by .Judgo Mcltierson., The complainants alleged that tho grand Jury now In session was Illegally drawn and that Judge Wallace personally Selected the Jurors In violation of the law. This Judge Wallace denied. Judge MoPhcrson in his decision today says: This court expresses no view with refer ence to the construction to be glvert to the Sunday statutes of this state. That the Missouri legislature has the power to enact Sunday statutes no man of common In formation questions. It- Is a question of policy of tho stste. Whether the criminal court of Jackson county Is right or wrong; I'nlted States courts cannot and must not Interfere. The dignity of this court .must be maintained and it cannot be Kielnfe'""-' If It under takes to Interfere wilhlocal p l'c? ques tions of the stnto that .ivic properly and exclusively lodaed " ntutc. when our government was organized. Judge McTherson says -the proper course for tho complalnaikts is to seek . trial In the criminal court and then take nn appeal to the state and supreme court, and finally to the supreme court, of the United States. LOOT OF BORDER-DAY HOLDUP (Continued from First Page.) was arrested for tho thct and Indicted by tho grand Jury. It was also claimed that ho was $50,000 short In the funds be longing to Cheyenne county. The trial took place in October, 18S0, and Allen was prosecuted by District Attorney General Dli worth, assisted by John M. Thurston, and defended by former Congressman Judge William Neville, and Judges G. W. Heist and Beech Ilinman. The Jury was compose of representative citizens, among them being Dr. Hv J. Winnett, now chair man of tho State Board of Railway com missioners at ' Lincoln; ' Thqy deliberated thirty hours and - returned' a verdjet of not guilty. - , " ; r. -i :-. - From that line It 'was a snap for the gamblers .and confi'dijej: men around this city to soil. Imitation.. gvUi bricks to eastern business nieji and butktifB. cialmms, they were from the grwH(t''ro;if1e express rob bery. The Imitation bricks were made in Denver. The.Lflrsl one '"was ' sold to. a Hastings, Neb., banker 'for $13,00Q and itie brick contained; not over $300- In gold. The syndicate of confidence men was comp'osed of such noted characters as ""Doc." Bangs, Pete Levin,' ' Hughey Bahari, .Tom Allen. Grasshopper Sam and Jfatsey Walters.. The latter was subsequently shot by Captain James L. Smith in the Bame saloon where these bricks were fodnd. Smith being' a special agent of the express company. These confidence sharks were ably assisted by a noted Council Bluffs gambler. After the success in selling the Hastings banker the gold brick, six more were made in Denver for this syndicate, they paying $400 ach for them. Four of them were sold, one to a Creston, la., banker; one to the treasurer of the Chicago Street Rail way company, one to a cashier of a bank at Ottumwa. Ia., and the fourth onq to a banker at Tampa, -Fla. The last brick caused the death of Pete Lavln, the gambler. After he .turned tho trick and before he could leave town tho banker discovered he, was buncoed and swore out a warrant for Lavln's arrest. When Lavln heard of this he chartered a small boat to take him to an island near Key West and when :.on the voyage the boat was wrecked during a severe storm at sea and he was drowned. The two unsold bricks were left here in Anders & Williams' Capitol iajoon and have been hidden on top of an Ice chest for the last twenty years. After the re cent fire Jake Cramer, a contractor who was excavating the cellar for M. H. Tobln, found them In the ruin and the story was started by some of the practical Jokers of this city that these were the genuine gold bricks stolen from the express company. George Patterson, superintendent of the Pacific Express company, reached here yesterday and procured the two bricks. He suld he had been instructed by the ex press company to send them to St. IxjuIs for ttissay and Inspection. The one missing brick the express com pany lost, amounting to $6,Xi. ufter thor ough Investigation by Plnkertons, declared had been sold to the I'nlted Slates frovern ment at the Denver mint a year aftir the rubbery.
