COURT DECIDES
(Continued from page l)
MRS. BRYAN WAS EXPELLED.
' NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-A special -
to the World from Brockton, Mass.,
says:
ft is said that the fact "has
never" been published, th:4 Mrs.
Wm. J.; Bryan before her marriage
to Mr. Bryan was once expelled from
school on account of taking a carriage
ride with Mr. Bryan. The Rev. Ju
lian S. Wadsworth, pastor of the
Central Episcopal Church of Brock
ton, accompanied them on that mem
orable ride. The future Mrs. Bryan
was then attending Jacksonville
Presbyterian Academy in Illinois. It
was while Bryan Jtnd Wadsworth :
were students at Illinois College in j
Jacksonville. She was later reinsta-'
ted' and became valedictorian of her
class as did Mr. Bryan of his.
in a general way Jlie judges had
reached their decision on the fact
that they did not consider the nature
of complaint itself sufficiently definite
and certain to permit the granting of
the' relief asked. Attorneys tor tne
government were well pleased with
the outcome of the case and declare
the action of the court practically sus
tains the contention of the president
that congress has the right to enact
statutes for the regulation of railway
traffic.
