Great Commoner Laid At
Rest On OutakirU Of

WASHINOTON. July 31.
(United News) A silver bugle
note echoed across the raln
drenched heights of Arlington,
and William Jennings Bryan
Joined the great throng of po
litical crusaders of the past who
have fought the battle, of the
common people.
It was the common people who
stood Friday afternoon on the
muddy slopes of the highest knoll
of the beautiful national cemetery,
beside his grave, and bowed
solemnly as the coffin was low
ered to Its final resting place.
It was the common people,
thousands of them, who stood In
a pouring summer rnln, which
drenched ninny of them to the
akin, about the church ot the
presidents and waited to see him
start on his final trip through
the streets of the city he loved.
It had rained continually dur
ing the service at the church, such
a rain as this soctlon has not seen
for months. Despite that, hun
dreds wpnt to Arlington and
climbed up the hill to the grave.
As if an omen, the rain stopped
suddenly aa the funeral party pro
ceeded slowly to Arlington, and
It was almost clearing toward the
west when the services began.
There was a freshness about the
grass on the hillside, and the
flowers, which were banked about
the grave, had touches ot rain
water that gave them the appear
ance of having coma from a re
viving dew.
Toward the end ot the sermon,
Mrs. Bryan almost broke down, at
the mention of her husband's
name. -She leaned forward again
In her chair and her ehoulders
shook. Hor son drew her to him,
and she looked up bravely, shak
ing her head, as If denying that
he would give way to her grief.

Retiring District Attorney
Avers Nothing Personal
In Action Taken
"Peanut politics" or a political
frame-up" were not responsible for
the Indictments against E. L. El
liott, W. S. Levens and L. L. Mc
Brlde, according to retiring District
Attorney Caleb Jones Friday even
ing. 'There was nothing personal or
political In the returning of these
Indictments," Jones declared. The
grand jury ln each instance saw
that a great fundamental principle
had been violated and determined
that something must be done."
Discussing the Indictment against
W. S. Levens, state prohibition com.
mlasloner, who is charged with the
larceny of a Leuger gun from a
Mexican, suspected ot bootlegging,
District Attorney Jones declared that
the law requires all property taken
in such a raid to be turned over to
the court.
Says Illght Violated '
"Picture the scene in the poor
Mexlcan'a cabin the night of the
raid." said Jones. "Here are the
man and his wife sleeping on the
floor. Six or seven officer, rattle
at the door and enter. They begin
flaahlug lights here and there, Mix
ing anything which may be 'evi
dence.' They grab up a jug ot kero
sene. 'An, here a evidence!' .
"The officers see the gun, worth
probably twenty .or twenty-five dol
lars. 'Is this your gun?' they de
manded. The poor unnaturallted
Mexican, scared by the thought of
prosecution for possessing the gnn,
denies.it Is. qts property... The qtr
fleers selxe It and carry It off with
out isaulng a receipt, and without
turning It In to the court tor dis
position. '
Must Be Checked .
"If some check is not put upon
the violation ot the sanctity ot our
homes and the sacred rights ot citi
zenship, the declaration of Indepen
dence and the constitution will have
been written In vain.
"It Is not a trivial matter. The
law provides that search warrants
must be returned to the court; that
receipts muat be given by the of
ficers for goods taken in the raids.
and that all property seiied In the
raid must be turned over to the
court. That is the law. And the
officer, should set an example in
obeying It.
Cites KIHott Case
"Take the case ot Elliott. He
has .aid he didn't know the sugar
was stolen when It was found in a
cache. He should have turned it
over -to the court. He had no right
aa a prosecutor to have It brought
to his garage. Then it was sold be
low the market price, the money to
go into the 'prohibition fund.' Did
it go Into private pockets Instead?
"Levens said this town was the
worst ln the state. Maybe we can
redeem ourselves by starting in and
enforcing the law, without discrim
ination between rich or poor, cltlten
or enforcement official."
