SUPREME COURT DECIDES
Letter left by New York Man
Not Binding on Widow.
NO DISSENTING OPINION
Nebraskan Refuses to Discuss the
Matter .Further Than .to Say It
Was a Close Question, to
Pass Upon.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., Aug. 12. A de
cision adverse to W. J. Bryan In his con
test over the Trill o the late P. S. Ben
nett, of New York," and this city, -was
handed down today by the Supreme Court
of Errors. The decision virtually denies
that Mr. Bryan is entitled to the 550,000
mentioned in the sealed letter written by
Mr. Bennett and addressed to his widow,
which was to be read by her after his
death. By this letter, the widow was
asked to give 550.000 to Mr. Bryan and
his family.
The decision sustains the opinion given
by the Superior Court in the case last
Spring:, and also the decision of the
Probate Court before which the matter
was brought up. No opinion was filed
with the. decision which was given by
Chief Justice Torrance. Justices Hall,
Hammersley, Baldwin and Prentice concurred.
Bryan Will Wot Discuss Matter.
INDIANAPOLIS. Aug. 12. W. J. Bryan
was In Indianapolis tonight on his way
to Freeport, O. "When told of the de
cision ofthe Connecticut Supreme Court
of Appeals he declined to discuss the
matter further than to say: "It was a
close question to decide."
PAUKTR OTTT AND OUT FOE GOLD
He Resents Insinuation of Double
Dealing on the Money Question.
ESOPUS, N. T., Aug. 12 Judge Parker
made no Interpolation on the gold stand
ard in his speech of acceptance at the
ceremonies which occurred at Bosemount
.on "Wednesday. His manuscript aa given
in advance to the press was followed to
the letter In so far as reference was made
to the gold standard telegram sent to the
St. Louis convention. Some few changes
in phraseology, or to -be more exact, of
synonyms, were made in relation to other
subjects, but not one deviation affecting
the original meaning of the speech. This
Etatement is made on the highest author
ity obtainable, and is confirmed by sev
eral newspaper men who followed the
speech during its-delivery,
"When Judge Parker's attention was
called to what purported to be his Inter
polation he made it clear that he had
no objection to the circulation of a story
to the effect that he had emphasized his
" conviction that the gold standard is firmly-
and irrevocably established, as it had
been hie intention to place as much em
phasis upon his position in that regard as
was possible for him to do. Some indig
nation is felt at Bosemount, however, at
what appears to Judge Parker to be an
attempt to create the impression that
he had written one speech for National
consumption and delivered another for the
ibeneflt of those who were present to hear
for themselves what the candidate had
to say. '
Hints of double dealing on the part of
Judge Parker have aroused in him a feel
ing of resentment that such charges
should be made without the slightest
ioundatlon in fact. The alleged interpola
tion is as follows:
"I want my positlori on this question
thoroughly understood. I thought it was
understood before I sent my telegram to
the St. . Louis convention. But in order
that there may be no misunderstanding
In the future, I deelre to reiterate on this
occasion that I am unalterably, irre
vocably and heartily opposed to any
change in the existing money standard."
This statement, accredited to Judge Par
ker, -was not' regarded at Bosemount to
be as convincing as that which' he did -use
and which was printed as- a part of
Judge Parker's speech. It is considered In
volved in comparison with the concise
language of the speech Iteelf. It was made
plain at Bosemount that Judge Parker
would stand by his speech as written and
with the unimportant changes of delivery,
but that he wants it understood there has
not been, and will be no double dealing
In relation to the gold standard, or other
questions discussed in his speech. He be
lieves that the country understands his
convictions, but he has made It clear that
if misunderstanding does arise, he will
strengthen in every way possible the
stand he has taken on the money ques
tion. He entertains no fear of loss .of
votes on that subject, and has declared if
euch a danger were manifested his posi
tion would remain unchanged to the end
of the campaign.
Parker Passes a Quiet Day.
ESOPUS. N. Y., Aug. 12. There were no
Visitors at Bosemount today, and Judge
Parker took a longer horseback ride than
usual. He was accompanied by Mrs.
Parker.
A delegation representing the Inter-Denominational
Council oT Women for Chris
tian and Patriotic Service called on Judge
Parker today to discuss the anti-polygamy
question with him. They gave to Judge
Parker a complete copy of the testimony
In the Senate investigation of the Smoot
case, which the Judge was asked to read.
While he did not promise to discuss the
question of Mormonlsm in his letter of
acceptance, it -Is known that he approves
of the anti-polygamy plank of the St.
Ixjuls platform, and will give it considera
tion before concluding his letter.

TTTRKEY CA2T DELAY NO MOKE
.American Minister Will Have a Reply
or Demand Passports.
CONSTANTINOPLE. Friday, Aug. 12.
Minister Leishman today saw Tewflk
Pasha, Turkish Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, and renewed, the urgent representa
tions of the American Government "for an
immediate, settlement of the demands of
the rights o'f American citizens In Turkey.

are expected within a few hours, either
the Porte giving way or Minister Leish
man demanding his passports.

WILL LEAVE NO LOOPHOLE.
America Will Make Agreement So
Binding She Can't Get Around It.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. While it . Is
extremely difficult to secure any details
of Minister Irishman's last communica
tion and of the response of the State De
partment, it is gathered that the Minis
ter has informed the State Department
of the terms of the proposition advanced
to him yesterday by the Turkish officials;
that in principle these appeared to the
State Department to be satisfactory and
in line with what it has so persistently
demanded. But there is after all a vague
ness about the Turkish statements and
promises that has caused the department,
having in mind past experience in the
way of promises, to Instruct Mr. Leish
man to see to it that these propositions
are reduced to such concrete form and
are made in such a binding manner that
there cannot be any question as to" their
fulfillment hereafter by the Turkish
government It Is confidently expected
that the Turkish negotiators will accede
to such a demand on the part of Mr.
Leishman, and it is predicted that the
negotiations will be concluded success
fully by Monday next
Meanwhile the European squadron Is
held subject to Mr. Irishman's orders,
and when he feels that he no longer
needs it at Smyrna, Admiral Jewel will
hoist anchor and seek some more con
genial spot
MAY ASK GERMANY'S ADVICE.
Foreign Office Will Urge Turkey to
Yield to Demands.
BERLIN, Aug. 12. Official circles here
think it probable that Turkey will ask
for Germany's advice regarding the situ
ation created by the American naval
demonstration off Smyrna. Answering a
direct question of the correspondent of
the Associated Press as io what Ger
many would do ,in such a case, -vthe For
eign Office answered that Germany would
advise Turkey to at once satisfy the
United States' demands.
Cabinet Considers the Situation.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12. Foreign af
fairs, to the practlcal'exclusion of every
thing else, was considered at today's
meeting of the Cabinet The Turkish sit
uation was discussed at length, and "a line
of action, in case of Mr. Lelshman's ef
forts being unavailing, was agreed to,
but Its nature was not disclosed.
Secretary Hay also presented to the
Cabinet some Important information ca
bled the department by Minister Griscom
at Toklo, confirming the reports of a
great naval engagement off Port Arthur.
It is said the discussion of the Russo
Japanese situation' was purely academic,
and not in any sense relative to the atti
tude of America toward either of the
contending powers.

WHERE THE WALLS ARE COMING DOWN"
FIFTH AND WASHiNGTON STREETS
Do you enjoy trading at a store where the clerks have that tired, dragged-out appearance incident to long hours of drudgery, and where, when yon ask t b
shown an article, you are met in a listless, don't-care sort of way? We think not; and to. avoid just such a condition of things, this modern establishment with it
always open to the interests of its patrons and employes alike, adopted years ago the policy of closing its doors every day in the year at 6 o'clock. The wisd S
this humanitarian movement has long ago been demonstrated. Not only has it met the hearty approval of our great public, but by so doing we have been ahl 1
better our store service, as the most competent salespeople of the city have been anxious to engage with us. No listless or careless people to wait on vou in th
store. Our employes perform a labor of love. They know that we consider their interests; they in turn consider ours. In order to show our appreciation in a h
stantial manner for the very excellent service they are renderings and incidentally to equip them physically for the great Fall rush, we will close our stor t
i o'clock every Saturday during the hot month of August, giving each and every faithful helper a Half Holiday. And now, to do a greater business in five hou
than the sleepy stores do in 13, we have ransacked this establishment from one end to the other, with the result that the bargains we offer for todav exced
anything ever attempted in the history of jmerchandising in the great Northwest. - y ea
