TEXAS FARM ON MARKET lift- ' .-x ? 4 if - v' ;. til Commoner on Self-Sustaining Basis . and Perhaps Little Better, but Fairvlew Homo Is Ina bility, Not Asset. LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 6. (Special.) Borne of the ' people In Lincoln, W. J. Bryan's home town, say they, have no doubt that Mr. Bryan had a distinct un. derstanding -with President Wilson that be wii to be free to lecture and make any speeches he desired at the time be was appointed Secretary of State. They go so far as to say he would re sign from the Cabinet before he woultf be held down to the limits urged by some of his critics and they believe that next year will see him devoting even more time to the platform,, pro vided "the duties of his office do not Interfere." Mr. Bryan's wealth Is somewhere In the neighborhood of $200,000, but is rather under than above that figure. In Nebraska his only property Is the suburban home at Fairvlew, the land surrounding it, 150 acres, with the house furnishings, farm Implements and the Commoner newspaper office. Kitlrvirrr Farm Dow Not Pay. A fair estimate -of the value of all his .Lancaster (Lincoln) County belong ings is 125,000. Mr. Bryan escapes city assessment, as Fairvlew Is Just outside the municipal limits, and this year will pay taxes to the amount of $425, of which $100 is personal. The newspaper plant will be taxed In the city, but the returns of the Assessor on this property have not been made public. The Fairvlew farm has never been a paying investment. The home Is oc cupied during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan by Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Hargreaves, son-in-law and daughter of the Secretary. The Commoner Is on a self-sustaining basis, perhaps a little more, but It was never intended aa a money-making investment. Texas Property la for Sale. Mr. Bryan's other property Is In Texas and Florida. The Texas farm, comprising 240 acres. Is worth perhaps $25,000, but It Is not a revenue producer and Is for sale. Mr. Bryan acquired his Florida property the past year and has built a Winter home, which, with the land surrounding it. Is valued at anywhere from $18,000 to $25,000. No Income Is derived from the Florida realty. The crops raised on the Texas farm serve to pay the taxes and for. the up keep and caretaker, but nothing more. LEVY OF 7.7 MILLS AHEAD (Contlnnfd From First Page.) ascertain the best method of extending a general sewer system throughout the Peninsula; $10,000 for the elimination of jogs and curves In streets; $1000 for a street map showing the date and method of the dedication of all streets; $1000 for the establishment of survey monuments throughout the city, and $5000 for repairs to the Fifth-street entrance to the City Hall. Health Force to Be Larg-er. Tentative plans call for doubling the working force of the Health Depart ment. If the plan goes through as outlined the appropriation will be about $95,000 as compared with $42,000 for last year. Provision Is made also for medical Inspectors in various, districts of the city to assist In disease inspection and treatment of poor patient. They have not been O. K.'d by Mayor Albee who lias charge of the Health Department. The increase In salary lists will amount next year to close to $75,000, this amount being necessary to pay the additional persons employed since July 1. This amount possibly will be reduced considerably by the salary re vision code which will be adopted prob ably at the regular Council meeting Wetiesday. Prnnla; Is Probable. Budget pruning has been general In the various departments already and It Is likely that there will be much more before the levy is finally decided upon In November. The Mayor has cut $11.00(J from the Fire Depart ment and nearly that much from the Police Department. Commissioner Daly has lopped oft a large amount from the Water Department and the Mayor has trimmed the Health Department con siderably. Among other items cut by the Mayor from the police department was ap proximately $51,000 for additional po licemen. Tentative budget reports will be submitted to the Commission as a whole today. It will then go to a budget committee, which will hold a public bearing and will then prepare a com plete budget and fix a tax levy. These will go to the Commission and a sec ond public hearing will be held. On or before the third Monday in November the levy for 1914 will be decided on. The tax levy for 1911 was 6.8 mills. For 1913 It was 7.7 mills. For 1914 It probably will be at least 7.7 mills. RATE ADJUSTMENT IS DUE Express Companies Expected to Meet Interstate Order. OLTMPIA, Wash., Oct 6. (Special.) That an amicable agreement may be reached soon In regard to complaints against express rates In this state, which have been pending for two years, is the growing belief of the Public Service Commission. Early word Is expected from the ex press companies that Washington state rates will be based on the "block sys tem" prescribed for interstate business in the recent order of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which. It was estimated, would reduce rates on an average of 15 per cent.

SERVIAN "BANKER" FLEES Laborers In Steel Mills at Pueblo Lose $90,000 In Deposits. PUEBLO. Colo.. Oct 6. Police of Pueblo are looking for Sava Radako vlch, a Servian merchant and banker of this city, who is believed by them to have left the country last Monday taking with him $90,000 of his creditors' deposits.

Doyle In Fair Shape. Dovle. with the exception of a little stiffness In his throwing arm, appears to have recovered well from the effects of his recent automobile spill. Snod grass' "charley horse," however,, still Is botkering him so much that It Is out of the question to expect him to play his usual form. It eeems nrobable. therefore, that the Giants will line up on Tuesday with Merkle, Doyle, Fletcher and Herzog ru ling the Infield positions, and with Burns, Bhafer and Murray in the out field. Some close watchers of the play of the team are Inclined to think that the team as thus formed will be not a bit weaker than the lineup that lnclud ed Snodgrass and left Herzog out. The Giants will have a final work out tomorrow at the Polo Grounds In an exhibition game with the Phlla Aoinhi. Nationals. The regulars will get a chance to limber up and most of them probably will play through the game. Matry and Rnbe to TwlrL Mathewson and Marquard are likely to be two pitchers tried out for an innine- or two. as between them ap parently lies the choice of a boxman to oppose the twlrler Connie Mack selects to open the series. Field games in which nlavers of each team will partlci pate will afford a further opportunity of llmberinsr up. Unless the Dlayer-author question Is broached there seems little probability of anything momentous occurring at the National Commission meeting to morrow. ' Injured Man Improves. NEWBERO. Or., Oct. 5. (Special.) Dr. J. S. Rankin, who has charge of the case of Chester Sieferth, who was thrown from a logging train yesterday at the mills of the Spaulding Lagging Company here, says his patient is doing much better than was expected consid ering his injuries. It appears that Sie ferth had uncoupled a section or me train, standing on a car, and that he fell between the two sections, suiter in? a fracture of both legs and a se vere Injury to one hand. He had been In the emDloy of the company lor sev eral years. He lives at Dallas and was recently married. PROBLEM HOT EASY Currency Encounters More Ob stacles Than Tariff. WILSON STILL INSISTENT President Believes Benefit of Lower Duties Will Xot Be Felt Fully Until Credit System Has Been Reformed. WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. Political Washington, relieved of the long drawn out consideration of the tariff, will focus its attention this week on bank ing and currency legislation. Though the administration currency bill easily passed the House, its path way in the Senate is admittedly full of obstacles. While there was a unanimity of opinion on the part of tariff revis ionists, widely divergent views are held by Democratic Senators on banking re form. A strong desire for a single bank with branches under government control. Instead of a regional reserve system of banks, has made Its appear ance in the Informal discussion. The President wants thorough consideration of the currency bill and any Improve ment that the Senate can make on the measure as passed by the House will be welcomed. President Wilson believes a general decrease in the cost of living that will be felt by the rank and file of the country is not dependent alone on tariff revision, but on prompt reform of the nation's monetary system, as well as careful amendment of the anti-trust laws. Another essential to free compe tition, in the President's view, is free dom of credit. With the concentration of credit, what the President in his Chicago speech last January described as an "Inner circle," even the benefits of trust regulation and tariff reduction can be withheld from the consumer by the stifling of enterprise. As soon as the December session opens, the administration will begin to center its attention on anti-trust pro gramme. "GHOST" IT ON STREET SUPPOSED OCKAN' SUICIDE IS ALIVE AND STILL OWEVG. Creditors Had Dropped Proceedings Against Wife Whose Husband Failed to Drown Himself. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 6. Although she was supposed to have committed suicide by drowning at Redondo Beach, near Los Angeles, last July In a death compact with her husband, Mrs. Marlon Boyle Is said to have been recognized on the streets here a short time ago by a woman friend. Mrs. Boyle was sought by many cred itors after her departure, but when news of her supposed death by drown ing was received all efforts to recover the amounts she was said to have owed were dropped. Following the supposed suicide epi sode, in which the husband failed to live up to the agreement to die In the surf, Mrs. Boyle disappeared and it was generally believed her body was car ried out to sea. Two weeks ago Mrs. Margare' Downey of this city recognized he friend on the street. "How do you do?" said Mrs. Downey unafraid of the supposed ghost. "How do you do?" replied Mrs. Boyle. Then she walked away. Rain Due Later in Week. WASHINGTON, Oct. S. West of the Rooky Mountains, the weather bureau's weekly forecast announced today, gen erally fair weather will prevail untii the latter part of the week, when there will be rains In the North Pacific states. CALL IS DECIDED ON Republican National Commit tee to Meet December 16. RULES TO BE CONSIDERED Leaders Inclined to Favor Calling Convention to Decide Main Is sues "Conciliators" Com municate With HJIIea. WASHINGTON, Oct 5. Tha Repub lican National Committee will meet In Washington December 16 "to confer on party matters and to take any action which may be deemed advisable." A formal call ior the meeting will be Is sued tomorrow. The meeting was de cided on at a conference of Chairman Hilles and Secretary Reynolds. The decision to call the National committee results from the repeated requests of Republican leaders that an opportunity be given to revise the rules of the Republican party. The princi pal changes demanded are In the basis of representation from the Bouthern states at National conventions and In the method of electing delegates from states that have primary laws cover ing that subject. Conciliator Confer Wltb Hilles. The New York state Republican con vention, held recently, adopted strong resolutions favoring the holding of a Republican National convention at an early date accomplish this revision of party rules. Senators Jones and Cummins, repre senting the so-called conciliation com mittee selected by Republicans and Progressives at Chicago last Spring, have been in communication with Chairman Hilles recently. It Is expected that the National Com mittee when it meets in December will not agree to the calling of a National convention without protest on the part of ome of Its members, who contend that the committee itself has ample authority to make the necessary changes in rules and regulations. Leaders Favor Convention. An Increasing number of Republican leaders, however, which Includes many of those prominently identified with party management in the recent past. Insist that whatever changes are made should be authorized by a National con vention thoroughly representative of the voters of all the states. If the Na tional committee decides to call the proposed convention it is expetced that It will set a date early in the Spring, so that the party machinery may be ready for the campaign preliminary to the Congressional elections of next Fall. , It Is expected the convention. If called, would be held In Chicago. MORE DELEGATES SOUGHT Governor Lister Finds Supply Is Short of Demand. OLTMPIA, Wash., Oct 6. (Special.) Hot competition among Eastern States holding celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the eman cipation proclamation has forced Gov ernor Lister against a difficult issue. He can't get enough delegates to sup ply the demand. While the Governor was out of the state, Pennsylvania sent notice of its anniversary celebration, and Acting Governor Louis F. Hart appointed a col ored pastor and a woman of the race as delegates. When Governor Lister returned he found notice of a celebra tion of New Jersey, and a request for delegates. Before he had decided on any one there were notices of other celebrations and requests for delegates, and now the executive announces he Mother's Friend in Every Hcnse Comfort ana Safety Assured Before tho Arrival of the Stork. In thousands of American homes thert Is a bottle of Mother's Friend that has aid ed many a woman through the trying ordeal, saved her from Buffering and pain, : jj in developing a love ly disposition in tna child. There Is no other remedy so truly a help to nature. It relieves the pain and discom fort caused by the strain on the ligaments, makes pliant those fibres and muscles which nature is expanding and soothes the in flammation of breast glands. Mother's Friend is an external remedy, and not only banishes all distress in ad vance, but assures a speedy recovery for the mother. Thus she becomes a healthy woman with all her strength preserved to thoroughly enjoy the rearing of her child. Mother's Friend can be had at any drug store at $1.00 a bottle. Write to Bradfield Regulator Co., 228 Lamar Bldg., Atlanta, Ga., for their free book. Write to-day. It 1 is most instructive. Atiyeh Bros. Alder and Tenth Streets will appoint any one who wants to go. The condition is that delegates must bear .their own expenses. ALFALFA SELLS AT $5.50 Many Cattlemen Buying Crop Raised In Vicinity of Vale. VALE, Or.. Oct. 5. (Special.) The alfalfa hay ranchers of the Malheur Valley are finding a ready market for their crops at J5.60 a ton. The Pacific Livestock Company has purchased 6000 tons of alfalfa in this valley this Fall, and many of the smaller ranches are disposing of their surplus to cattle buyers, who are driv ing in bands of cattle purchased in the interior to be fed along the railroad line. Because of a shortage caus9d by heavy rains during the harvesting of the first crop, a few of the larger pro ducers are holding their crops for a higher price.
