BBYAN REPLIES TO VAN CLEAVE Defends Labor Planks in Dem ocratic National Plat form. UNIONS AND TRUSTS DIFFER Should Not Be Classed Together. 'o Reflection on Courts in Con tempt Plank, "or Class Feel ing on Injunctions. LINCOLN. Neb.. Aug. 6. W. J. Bryan today issued a statement replying to a circular issued some weeks ago by the National Association of Manufacturers end signed by James V. Van Cleave. Mr. Brvan declares that the pamphlet of Mr. Vn Cleave raises two first questions: First Is there anything in the labor plank of the Democratic platform to which busi ness men as to justly take exception? Sec ondIs the- labor question so Important to business men as to Justify them in Ignoring all other issues? Mr. Bryan de clares that the provision in ttje Demo cratic platform, for the creation of a labor department with a Cabinet officer at its head, cannot possibly offend busi ness men. He then says: Unions and Trusts Different. The platform dras a distinction bw" associations of wage-earners organized for the purpose of maintaining wes and IM Improvement or lauur ini..trlal rorioratl ns which act In re straint of trade. The difference between a labor organization and a trust i ent that no disinterested person will deny .,. iv..v .hnuM he treated separately. To class the two kinds of ornanlzatlons together and deal with them unaer one iaw uuuuu to do Injustice to one or the other. Surely the business men can have no vital con cern In Including the tabor organizations In the anti-trust laws. Mr. Bryan then takes up the plank pro viding for trial by Jury In cases of Indi rect contempt. He insists that this can not raise a question of vital concern to business men. because every man has a right to a Jury trial. He then says: Xo Attack on Courts. An attempt will be made to raise a false Issue In regard to the courts and to make It appear that the demand for trial by Jury Is an assault upon the integrity of the courts. Those who make this argument might as well Insist on the abolition of the Jury In all cases, for the Jury system Itself is Just as much a reflection on the bench as is this demand for trial by Jury In these particular cases. But there Is another labor plank that Mr. Van Cleave probably has indicated. This Is the plank that declares that parties to all Judicial proceedings should be treated with rigid impartiality and that an injunc tion should not lie if no Industrial dlsputa were Involved. LK the business men insist upon partiality In Judicial proceedings? Do they Insist that the mere fact that there Is an industrial dispute should Justify an Injunction? That plank does not attempt to interfero with the Issue of an Injunction where other conditions Justify it. but It doea oppose the Issue of en injunction merely for the purpose of bringing the court Into the discussion of an industrial dispute. Mr. Van Cleave asserts that this plank arouses "a class spirit" and demands for "class favors." But this Is not true. It is a declaration that the writ of Injunction hould not be Issued for the purpose of cre ating a class or fairing a class. The la boring men resent an attempt to discrimi nate . against them In favor of any other class. Mr. Bryan In conclusion declares that Sir. Van Cleave does the business man an Injustice in assuming that his waking hours are filled with fears of the wage earner and that his night's rest is broken by Imaginary disputes with those who toil. MCRPHY SAYS NO TROVBLE Says of Course Bryan Will Speak in New York. NEW YORK. Aug. 6. Charles F. Murphy denounced today as untrue the report that William J. Bryan was dis pleased at a refusal of the New Tork leader to ask him to speak here. ""That report." Sir. Murphy said. "Is simply the work of some trouble maker. There Is absolutely no truth In It. Of course. Mr. Bryan will be expected to epeak here when we get our campaign plans completed and he certainly will Epeak In this state at several places." ORGANIZE DEMOCRATIC CLUBS Bryan Decides on Systematic Work. Sanguine "Bob" Taylor. FAIRVIEW, Lincoln. Neb., Aug. . As the result of a visit to William J. Bryan today of Senator "Bob" Taylor, of Tennessee, who Is here to deliver a Chautauqua lecture, the National Com mittee of the Democratic party will soon enter upon a most elaborate plan for ascertaining the sentiment of the country toward Its standard-bearers. This plan contemplates the formation of a National Democratic Club; with state and county clubs as subsidiaries, whose duty it will be to report to the central organization data favorable to the National ticket. It Is proposed also that these clube shall poll the voters of the United States and Id every sec tion where the feeling Is adverse to the Democratic candidates literature and speakers are to be sent. The proposition regarding the Na tional club promptly appealed to Mr. Bryan, who said that he would not wait for his visit to Chicago. In a couple of weeks, where he is to confer with prominent men of the party, but would at once take steps to get the National club under way. Mr. Taylor was accompanied to Fair view by Mayor W. Brown, of Lincoln, one of Mr. Bryan's staunchest friends and advteers. V have been In Kansas. Missouri and Indiana." said Mr. Taylor. "To my mind. Bryan has a better chance for election than Cleveland did In 1892. I found many Republicans in Kansas who told me they would vote for Bryan. And as for Indiana, the pros pects for Democratic success are good." He predicted that Tennessee would go Democratic by 30.000. . Aside from this, the most Important announcement from Falrview today was the decision of Mr. Bryan to make an extended speech on the tariff ques tion at Des Moines. Iowa. October 21, and to spend the three following days in Chicago in consultation with Chair man Mack and other party leaders, over the plan of campaign. When asked whether he had noticed that many of the Republican candi dates In Nebraska were coming out In favor of the proposition for the guar anty of bank deposits, Mr. Bryan re plied that he had been told so. "It Is one of the straws that show the way the wind is blowing." he said. Mr. Eryan will discuss the subject fully In his forthcoming Topeka speech. Among; the other visitors to Failvlew today waa Alexander Corkey. of Ira- land, who called to pay his respects. He left the Bryan home with a sou venir from the Democratic nominee, in the shape of a small stone from the Sea of Galilee, picked up by Mr. Bryan on his trip around the world. Another caller was Dr. A. E. Stewart, of Cedar Bluffs. Neb., who was a member of the convention which nominated Mr. Bryan for his first term in Congress. The two men had not met in several years. Dr. Stewart brought encouraging reports regarding the political situation in hi section MACK NAMES COMMITTEES Miller to Aid in Finding Money and Oratory for Bryan. BUFFALO. N. Y., Aug. 6.

He was supposed to set out about March 1908, accompanied by one of his staff and two Greenlanders belonging to the crew. Other members of the expedi tion and 28 fully loaded sleds were to go with him the first third of the Journey. After leaving his companions Erlck sen and the three men he planned to take with him were to proceed to the unknown Ice dome of the interior, which rises at Its highest point to 10,000 feet above sea level. This re gion is completely devoid of vegetation or animal life, and here is said to be found one of the cold points of the Northern Hemisphere. It Is doubtfnl If man could live there In the coldest season. Under the conditions, the lead er chose the months of March, April and May for his venture. He hoped to compass this venturesome Journey In about two months and a half, coming out on the west coast. It was probably on this trip that the explorer met his death.' Founder of Alaska Commercial.

SAYS THEY HELPED REBELS Justifies Action and Declares Revo cation of Decree Vould Injure Dignity Painful Surprise to State Department. WASHINGTON. Aug. 6. Honduras has declined to comply with the wishes of the United States Government by revoking the decree Issued by President Davila cancel ing the exequaturs of American Consul Drew Leonard and Vice-Consul Virgil C Reynolds, at Celba. on the ground that they had interfered In the Internal politics of Honduras and that, with the Vice-Consul of France and Norway, they advocated the surrender of Ceiba to the revolu tionists. The decree of cancellation of the exe quatur has been published In the official gazette of Honduras, which In refusing to revoke It takes the view that such ac tion would wound the sovereignty of the government and place It In bad position before the other Central American states. Justifies Davlla's Action. The action of the Honduran govern ment was communicated to the State Department through her Minister. Ugarte, In a formal note. Honduras sets out clearly in this communication the reasons which Impelled her to de cline the request of the United States for a suspension of the decree cancell ing the Consuls' exequaturs and ex presses regret that this step is neces sary. Mr. Ugarte says his government acknowledges the evidences of sympa thy which the United States has had for Honduras and the deference In which Honduras holds this Government. The hope is expressed that the Ameri can Government, inspired by the prin ciples of justice and right which al ways have governed Its rule of pro cedure, will follow that attitude in the present instance. A mail report containing evidence. that, Mr. Lgarte says, upholds the action taken by his government Is now on Its way here. This will be pre sented to the State Department for its information. Surprise to United States. The action of Honduras ' is a sur prise to the State Department, as It was confidently hoped that President Davila would revoke the decree, as an act of courtesy If for no other reason, so that the Consular officers would be free to continue In the discharge of their duties, leaving the question of charges affecting them a subject for future consideration, when all the evi dence had been fully considered by both governments. Mr. Ugarte did not present the note In person. DETROIT GIRL IS MISSING Fact Connected With Mysterious Murder in New Tork. NEW YORK. Aug. 6. That the charred body of a young -woman found on a refuse dump in Green Point a weelrago may be that of Annie Helvel, a Detroit stenographer, who came here seeking work, is the latest police theory. Her parents In Detroit have never heard fromMlss Helvel since she reached this city a fortnight ago. and the descriptions and photographs of the pieces of clothing and the body lead them to believe that It may be that of their daughter. It la expected IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT SMARTLY DRESSED MEN WILL THIS SEASON, ASK BEN SELLING that some one will come from Detroit to try to identiy the body. DISAPPEARS IX NEW YORK Miss Helvel Started From Detroit for England. DKTROIT, Mich., Aug. 6. Miss An nie Helvel, who is missing, and who it is thought by her .relatives here may possibly be the victim of the Green Point murder, left this city July 27 to take a steamer for her home in South ampton. England. Her relatives here have heard nothing from her since. The young 'woman left her home in Southampton July 4 with her brother-in-law, F. H'. Gooding, and came to her relatives' home here. On the steam er en route to New York she formed the acquaintance of a man who paid her great attention. A few days after her arrival here Miss Helvel became dissatisfied and expressed i wish to return home. Her brother finally ar ranged her passage back to South ampton, but finds that no such person as Miss Helvel took passage, as he had arranged on the White Star steam er July 29. Gooding could suggest no reason for the girl having been mur dered. He says he has learned that Miss Helvel, before leaving here, tried to dispose of her passage from New Tork to Southampton, which leads him to believe that she intended meeting some person in New York.

Iowa today was officially declared to be in a state of mourning for the late Senator William B. Allison, by Governor A. B. Cummins, who arrived here from Lake Forest, where he was spending his va cation. Mr. Cummins and other state officers will go to Dubuque to attend the funeral. The Governor denies having made any statements whatever regarding his plans concerning a successor to Mr. Allison, and refuses to discuss such until next week. He says he made no such statement as that he would ap point a successor for the Bhort term and be a candidate himself before the 33d General Assembly. Previously the Governor has stated that In case of a vacancy In the Senate he would call a special session of the Legislature. This Is undoubtedly the programme he will follow out. If he does this, the 32d Assembly will un questionably elect him, as it is domi nated by progressive Republicans." A special session will probably be called, if at all, in October.

More than half the indigestion in the country to-day is directly attributable to greasy, indigestible food prepared with lard. Cottolene is the original anti-lard product It was the first, and it is the best. It is purer, more healthful, and will give better results than any other shortening medium. Just as the original is always better than the imitation, Cotto lene is superior to its imitators. Ask your grocer for Cottolene and see that our trade-mark, a steer's head in a cotton-plant wreath, appears on the pail. Cottolene is never sold in bulk; therefore, is a cleanly prod uct, absolutely protected from all the odors and dust to which lard is usually exposed in the ordinary grocery store.
