of Minnesota, who originat-
ed tbe Idea of a memorial to s
Wm. Jennings llryan at
Clewlston, Kla., expressed
herself today as much em-
barrassed by the statement
of Mrs. Ilrai that she had
not communicated with Miss
Kvans uur given her approv-
al of the project. Miss Kvans
said that she had been both'
misunderstood and misquot-
ed. She did not say. xhe
said, that Mrs. Bryan had
approved her plan. In fact,
she had not heard from the
latter. She said that she did
wire Mrs. Bryun and natur-
ally hoped that what she
wished to do would be pleas-
In to the family.
Mrs. llryan, at Cproanut
Orove. Kla., last night, de-
dared: "I do not know
the young lady, never heard
of her, and never have lent
my approval to anything
which she has suggested."
A memorial In Arlington
cemetery at Washluffton, is
the only one that the com-
moner'B widow has approved.

The son will not attend the fun

expressed no curiosity as to his
anther's funeral or whether tbe two
rifle shots he fired into bis moth

fatal.
Should this supercilious air leave
him and shou.d he ask. that he be
permitted to attend his father's
funeral, he will not be allowed to
do so. Sheriff Burma has previous
ly stated.
