Rodgors, ho had dinner. He ate a
large amount of food and was In
one of his most lovial moods since
arriving here. Before he derided
to take a nap, he called Chatta
nooga over long distance telephone
to ask about some detail of his
speech, which was being publish'

am so sleepy," and entered his
room shortly after 3 o'clock.
Mrs. Bryan was on the porch of
the home and could see her hus
band on the bed. About 4:30 Mrs.
Brvan felt her husband had been
asleep long enough and sent Mo
Cartneyji who also was Mr. Bry
an's perHonal attendant to wake
him. "He alwavs was a heavw
sleeper and was hard to wake."
Mr. McCartney said, adding th
after he had shaken Mr. Bryun
twice, he noticed he waa not I
breathing.
Mr. Andrews remarked on the
courage Mrs. Bryan exhibited. She
told friends that while ante was
glad her husband had passed
away peacefully and without pain,
she regretted to have him die at a
time when he prepared such a
great work. She referred to the
campaign he was to make for fun
damentalism and the writing he
had planned. Mr. Brvan bad be
gun a history of his life and fre
quently during the past several
months had expressed a desire to
complete It.
"It seems like every time I plan
to work on the biography," Mr.
Itryan told a nlewspaper reporter
a few weeks ago. "something hap
pens to Interfere."
While Mr. Bryan had prepared
his address In the Scopes' trial, he
expressed his pleasure of the fact
that he would have an opportunity
to present It to the public without

Sunday Pays Tribute.
HOOD RIVER. Ore., July 27.
" v. William A. Sunday, spending
the summer at his home here, paid
his tribute to William Jennings
Bryan:
"The friend of Cod. the enemy
of the devil. To know William
Jennings Bryan was an Invitation,
to do right.
"Although he chose politics as a
career he was essentially a crusa
der for Christianity. He was at
his best when fighting on moral
rather than religious Issues. He
fell with his fare to the enemy.
"Ho was Lutheran In his faith,
a Napoleon In his battle tor God,
a Lincoln In his patience.
"Crown him as one of the
world's Immortnls. He never dip
ped his colora to compromise. His
great hold upon the American peo
ple was due to his sincerity of
purpose. It was a rare privilege
to count him as my friend and co
laborer for God."

WASHINGTON. July 27. Fun
eral services for William Jennings
Bryan will be held here on Friday
afternoon and burial will take
place late that dav at Arlington.
IA-lails of the funeral ceremony

church in the capitol. It la not
likely that the body will He In
state In any public building nor
that mlHt-fry ceremonies will ac
company its entombment.
The delay from Thursday morn
ing, when the funeral train reach
es Washington, to Friday afternoon
was decided on to permit William

and to the selection of a burial
place on the Arlington slopes over

of his death and extend my sym

"llryan'a death represents the
death of a great force in econo
