for the program which Waa presetted by
the current topics department, and ' was
one of the most instructive ns well un en
tertaining of the year; Captain J. K.
Merry of Manchester, la., was the prin
cipal speaker, giving his well known lec
ture, "The CHIons of the South." Briefly
but "most Interestingly and in several
cases from the standpoint of personal
acquaintance, lie reviewed the long llstof
Illustrious men and women who were born
aouth of Mason and Dixon's Una and who
have figured among tho foremost In the
nation's history us statesmen, soldiers and
citizens, in literature and in education.
Captain Merry recalled tho achievements

each of this lon list pf brilliant men and
women, from WasliinKlon and Jerfcjnon
down to Henry Riady and Hit others who
helped In rebuilding-the solith of today.

uueHtlon: "Should the mrnutes of a state
meeting bo reud and approved at tho own
ing session of the following year?" That is,
shall tho minutes of lfk7 be read to the
convention of lwis? Two reasons forbid
tiiis, the first, that the assembly of lsmt
cannot legally puns upon the actions of
the assembly of 1!7, not being the name
body. The club or federation of whose
acts the mlnutea are a record muat hear
and approve them. The second reason has
no legal point, but Is worthy of considera
tion. It Is never a brilliant or stimulating
opening of a convention, especially for
new members and guests, to have the
record of three days' meetings one of the
reatures, because, though minutes are
necessary, we shull all admit that they aro
not thrilling or even entertaining. l,ct
'.he minutes be read dally during the con
vention when all present are Interested and
nave knowledge to correct and approve.
Many requests are being received from
Individuals and states for the placing of
favorite daughters'' upon the biennial
program. This Is, of course, a difficult
proposition for the chulrman of the pro
gram committee. To represent forty-six
tate federations, to bring forward experts
ud specialists In the respective lines of
work, and to carefully discuss the busi
ness and policies of the general federa
tionall tills, with six morning and five
venlng sessions Is one of the problems of
the committee. It looks at a glunce as
ir It would, as the old man remarked, lake
a, "Hereulaneum" to do It. If there are
some disappointments, thereN Is the com
forting thought that every federation is
represented upon "Stale Presidents" even
ing. new Clnha In the General.
Every month brings the admission of
from six to a dogen new clubs or federa

flllYAN WASITS VOriiltS TO ACT
Says Delegate to Denver Convention
Should Be Instructed.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 8,-Wllllam J.
Bryan was entertained at luncheon at the
Racquet club here today as the guest of
Roland 8. Morris, president of the Pennsyl
vania Democratic club, Twenty persons
were present.
Prior to going to the club Mr. Ilryan
was asked by a reporter whether be was
a candidate for the democrotl-,presldefltlal
nomination. Mr. Bryan dictated the fol
lowing reply:
If the voters of the ' democratic ' party
want another than myself, nominated at
Denver they ought to Instruct their dele
gate to that effect. Ifthey want me
nominated they ought to Instruct their
delegates for me.
It is not a matter to be decided by me
or by any small fraction of the democratic
voters. It IS for the majority of tho demo
cratic voters to determine. In November
lost, to slop the misrepresentations which
were going about as to 'what I might or
might not do, and as to the conditions
under which I might or might - not be
a candidate. I stated that I would not
ask for a nomination, that I would be a
cunilidate if It was the decree of the demo
cratic party that I should be.
Believing that In parties, as In popular
government, authority comes up from the
voice of. the people, I believe that voters
when they gnUher In their communities
should express" themselves on party prin
ciples and candidates and then select dele
gates In harmony with their ideas.
Instructions are democratic because the
delegate, has not authority except as he
receives Instructions from tho voter, and
the delegate ought to say that which the
voter want said.
To visitors,. Mr. Bryan1 sakl:
., I havo . noticed of late a marked change
among, the ' clergymen. They were, very
lurgely opposed to me before, but they have
been studying affairs during the last ten
years and their- views have changed. This
Is a very hopeful sign to my. mind. Now
I am Invited by ministers to address con
ferences and they show me In other ways
that Instead of being hdsllle they -ate in

TOWMSEM) DEFENDS THE PARTV
Representative In , Consideration of
Indian Affairs Quote History.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S. During the con
sideration of tho Indlun appropriation In
the houso today Mr. Townsend of Michi
gan delivered a speech In which he re
hearaed tho history of republican legisla
tion, which lie did for the purpose of "dis
puting .tho unwarranted claims of our
democratic brethren."
He was not, he said, "defending the pres
ent admlnsltratlon. It needs no defense be
fore the Acmrican people."
Ho said: "It's record will illumine the
pages of United States history and mark
an epoch In popular government." Ho de
clared that Che students of the future
would point to It "as the period when the
people came into possession of their own
by establishing as facts heretofore theories
of a republic, whereby federal law Is
enacted for no class or financial condi
tion, but for all conditions of people."
He said that the legislation of the last
two congresses had been charged with
producing the late financial disturbance.
He undertook to refute the charge. He
referred especially to the railroad legis
lation and said that democratic politicians,
finding that the legislation was good, de
sired to appropriate to themselves as a
political asset In future campaigns.
Mr. Townsend defended the railroad rate
luw and declured that no single provision
In It Imposed anything which the very
charters of the roads did not contemplate.
He said that "he who claims that rate
legislation caused the panic or to any con
siderable extent contributed to it, begs
the question in his desire to Justify his
opposition to the measure and to discredit
an administration hostile to special Inter
ests and favorable to government by
law."
T A FT SEEKING TO BUY VESSELS

Snnyllea to Pannma.
WASHINGTON. Feb. . Secretary Taft
appeared in the senate chamber today and
conferred with Senators Hale, Frye and
Lodge regarding transportation by seaof
material and equipment for ud In the
construction of the Panama canal. An
effort was made to have an amendment
offered by Senator Lodge providing for the
purchase of two steamships oT American
registry for the uso of the canal commis
sion inserted in the emergency appropria
tion bill, but the commission refused to
accept the provision.
It was finally agreed that a joint reso
lution recently offered by Senator Frye
should be reintroduced. This waa done
today. It provided that all materials for
the canal should be carried In vessels
owned by the government or of American
registry. When a report on this resolu
tion Is obtained there will be an effort
to have Mr. Lodge's provision for the
purchase of vessels for the commission in
serted in the sundry civil appropriation
b'll. The Lodge amendment calls for an
expenditure of l,6u0,000 for the two vessel.
.Newspaper Man Make Good.
MITCHELL, 8. D., Feb. S.-(SpeclaL)-E.
L. Benn, who makes his home at
Oacoma, spent a day in this city while on
his way to Huron to attend the meeting
oC the republican state central committee,
of which he U a member. Mr. 6enn 1 en
gaged in the newspaper business out on
the Bloux reservation to a very large de
gree and ia regarded as the William R.
Hearst of the east dropped down in the
west. Mr. 8enn own and control aev
enteen newspaper oift on the great prai
rie domain, and ha Mr. Hearst going
some In that direction. ' A year or two ago
Mr. Benn conceived the Idea that with the
settlement of the country new town
would build up and that the publication
of final proof notice would be a neces
sary thing in the course of time, so he
arranged to get in line for the business.
When he first started It on this scheme
the town yet had to be formed for the
great part, ajid for a lone; time the one
building standing alone out on the prairie
would serve for the postofflce, the gen
eral store, the newspaper office nd the
home of a settler, and the new that he
collected for his paper would of a neces
sity at times be of an imaginative nature.
Now the towns in which hi newspaper
aro located are In a flourishing condition
and he is reaping what reward there was
In the venture.' For several years Senn
ha had a strenumls time.' There were
some peopl out In ' the country who
rather resented hi way of looking Into
affair of a more or less public nature,
particularly was he the object of revenge
on the part of the cattle riiBtlers In that
section, and they tried every possible
means to get rid of h)m. As a last resort
they tried to burn him out of, house and
home several years ago, but Bonn stood
up through the efforts made to get the
beet of him, and he has planted himself
on pretty firm ground, while his assail
ants. In several Instances, are serving
terms In the penitentiary.

RARE OLD TAPESTRIES
y
Flemish and Aubusson Handiwork
in Hotel St. Regis, Hew York
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION
In the series of sketches appearing In
this paper descriptive of New York's far
famed hotel, the St. Regis, we have dwelt
largely upon the utilitarian features which
make that hostelry pre-eminent. The St.
Regis, however much it excel all other
hotels in the matter of safety, healthi
ness, cuisine and provision for general
comfort, ha no equal from an artistic and
decorative standpoint. To beautify It in
teriors Mr. Haan, the proprietor, ran
sacked the art centers of the Old World.
Each room, public, - or private, contains
something in the way of decoration, fur
niture, hangings or bric-a-brac that Is In
teresting and distinctive.
Among these numerous art objects, none,
perhaps, is more worthy of mention than
the rare old Flemish and Aubusson tapes
trie of the sixteenth century which adorn
many of the moat ffequented rooms. Art
galleries contain no finer specimen of till
highly prised handiwork. Four of these
tapestries, by Von Zeunen, of Brussels,
which are unusually large and most elab
orately patterned, present scene In the life
of Sojomon. A tine set of Aubusson', illus
trating La Fontaine' fable, are especially
plealng. Other piece of tapestry scarcely
lee valuable and beautiful and other art
object ot great value and Interest are dis
played here and there.
And yet at the St. Ilegi,wlth all it wealth
of artistic feature combined so happily
with those thing which minister more
directly 'to one comfort, the restaurant
charge are "no higher than at other hotchi
of the first class, targe well-furnished
outside room (there" are no other) cost
but ROD a day. If bath In connection is
desired, tho charge la fl.W additional. A
parlor, bedroom and bathjnay be bad for

KATION HOLDS FIIANIO AT FAl LT
Report from Spanish Source Re
ceived Dowager Qerrn Fainted.
MADRID, Feb. 3 The government has
ordered the crusler Princess de Asturlas
to proced to Lisbon. It Is explained by the
newspapers It Is tho intention to put the
warship at the disposition of the Spanish
minister.
The Lisbon correspondent of the Impar
clal says that when the dowager queen,
Maria I'la, arrived at the arsenal the doc
tors were bathing the faces of the king
and the crown prince. The queen threw
herself upon the body of her son, the king,
and the doctors wei'o obliged to remove
her by force. When the queen arose her
robe was crimsoned with blood; then she
swooned.
All travelers crossing, the Portuguesa
frontier are being subjected to a rigorous
examination.
On the evening of the assassinations no
bugles were sounded in the barracks of
Lisbon for fear that their notes would be
taken as a signal that tho government had
been overthrown. .
Advices received hero from Uuelva say
that Portuguese families are taking refuge
In great numbers on the Island of Crlstlna
and at Ayamonte, a Spanish town on the
Portuguese frontnler. According to ad
vices received here from Vigo, public opin
ion In Oporto holds Franco responsible for
the assassinations. The Spanish residents
of Oporto have asked that a warship bs
sent there.
ENGLAND WILL PltOCEED SLOWLY

LONDON, Feb. 3. -It has been rumored
for time past that Great Britain proposed
to interfere to restore order in Portugal
and on occasion arising It has been said
that there would be 'Joint action to this
end on the part of Great Britain and
Spain. As a friend of Portugal, Great Bri
tain certainly has been using her moral In
fluence to end tho unsettled condition In
that country and she will continue to do so,
but as for any Interference in the Internal
affairs of Portugal that Is out of the
question. There might arise a situation
when It would be necessary to take steps
to protect the Interests of Englishmen re
siding In Portugal, but the foreign office
believes that tills contingency Is remote,
believing that Portugal herself will be able
to restoro order.

GRINNCTJ,. Ia.. Feb. 3.-(Soeclal.)-The
Orlnnell track team, last year the cham
pions of the stale, will make strong hid
for the same honors mis spring, H pres
ent Indications are to be taken as a cri
terion. Of last year's point winners only
one will he absent when the team begins
outdoor training: this will be Marshall,
who was Injured during the late foot ball
seanon. Hurt, the Grinnell captain, is one
of the greatest sprinters In the country
if not the leader of them all. He was
eaaily the tamest man In the Btato last
year, and victor in ihe conference meet,
lter in the season he competed In the
Jamestown events, where ne met and ae
fe&'ed the great Dun Kelly of Oregon
Tlirt other men principally relied on to

Athletic Board In Control.
DES MOINES, Feb. 3. (Speclul.)-Tho
new board of athletic control has taken
charge of affulrs athletic at Drake uni
versity, lhls hoard constats ot three
alumni, one faculty member, and one un
dergraduate student. Thi plan was
adopted some time ago, and was intended
to work a revolution in the university
uthletics. Hut now that the time line ar
rived for the new hoard to take matters
into their own hands, a new factor has
entered the situation; the rules' of the new
Missouri valley conference provide for
faculty control, and as Drake Is very
anxious to become a member of this or
gunization. It Is now necessary for the
management to find a way out of the
difficulty. It Is thought probable that the
Hiiimm meniners or the Doara win niw
resign and leave affairs In the bands of
the other two members until official uctlon
can be taken to restore the old -regime of
faculty control.

ESTELLE CONDEMNS JAILS
Judge Says They Make Dope Fiend
hy ISot Keeping Out Danger
n Drugs.
"The wickedest things "we have In Omaha
are tho city and county jails," declared
Judge Estellc of the Juvenile court. "Put
a boy in there thirty day "and if he doe
not come out a dope fiend I'll eat lilm."
Judge Estelle declared his Information
was drawn largely from a conversation
with Warden Beemer and disclosures made
by prisoners.
"I do not blame the officials." he con
tinued. "They are doing all they can to
root out the evil, but they "haven't the
appliances. Dope is smuggled in in spite
of everything they can do. The fault lies
with us who do not rise up and compel
the county authorities to furnish better
accommodation." ,
Sheriff Bralley Monday morning discov
ered an attempt to smuggle a large lump
of gum opium Into the jail. A young woman
ent a friend a basket full of oranges,
bananas and English walnut. An examin
ation was made and 'one of the English
walnuts was found to have been opened
and filled with opium and then glued shut
again. Without close examination it would
have passed Inspection easily.
