England's miners, facing the prospect of a lockout are In des- Dayton, Tenn. Willinm Jennings Bryan died here Sunday July 26th. The man who had won and held the title of "The Great Commoner," and whom many predicted would again emerge into the political limelight as a candidate for the presidency on the religious issues raised by the Dayton evolution trial, passed peacefully, apparently worn out by the strain of the recent dramatic events here. The Commoner was sleeping when the end came. No one was with him. Dr. A. C. Broyles and Dr. W. F. Thomason stated that death was caused by a hemorrhage of the brain, causing apoplexy. Mrs. Bryan was seated on the porch looking through the screen door during the entire time Mr. Bryan was asleep. She said she thought the Commoner was sleeping longer than usual and did not want to disturb him. Mr. Bryan, who had come here three weeks ago to attend the scopes trial, had spent Saturday at Winchester and Chattanooga, coming here by automobile. At 11 o'clock July 26th he attended services at the Methodist Episcopal church, South. He led in NOON perate mood. Their union, the most belligerent of any British labor group, Is figur-atel- y tightening Its belt and girding itself for the most bitter fight In its long history. The miners hold that their defense measure involve two or three months of suffering for them and theirs, whereas they argue an acceptance of the owners' proposals would mean embarking upon an Indeterminate accompanperiod of ied by back breaking toll in pits shut off from the sunlight. District officials of the mine union were doing their utmost to arrange grocery store credits to help tide miners' families over tho prospective period of idleness. Meantime throughout South Wales and tbe other mining regions, where big families are the rule rather than the exception, housewives as thrifty as their weekly shillings will permit, were seeking to hoard some food against a "rainy day." A. J. Cook, miners' leader, estimated one million working miners or must be fed, together with four million dependents. While the miners proceeded with their plans at home, representatives of their union prepared to go to Paris for a session of international mine leaders, where an effort will be made to get active cooperation among the miners of England, France and Germany. One of the most pressing problems will be to prevent dumping of ten million tons of Ruhr coal onto the market in event of a British lockout. Premier Baldwin, taking closer personal direction of the situation told a committee from the trade union congress he will meet the coal owners. n aux-ilari- prayer and after went to the home Rogers, where he have been making NAP the benediction of Mrs. Richard and Mrs. Bryan their hone since coming to Dayton. The dinner hour was spent with Mrs. Bryan. There were no guests at dinner. Mr. Bryan ate with relish, then retired to his room to rest. The exact hour when death came is not known. Mrs. Stevens, the nurse who is constantly with Mrs. Bryan, who for years has been an invalid, passed through Mr. Bryan's room at four o'clock. She noticed a strange pallor on the face. She bent over him. He was dead. Mrs. Bryan was when told that the end had come for her illustrious husband. A sob, a tear then she took charge of the situation. She addressed messages to their son and daughter, telling of their father's death. The news spread over the village and countryside; the people of Dayton loved Bryan. He stood as the champion of their cause, for most of these people are Democrats and most of the men of the older generation had voted for Mr. Bryan in his free silver campaign for the presidency. Mr. Bryan had gone to Chattanooga Saturday to have printed the address he had expected to make before the jury in the scopes trial. He had not been able to make the address because of the sudden termination of the trial. The address was a defense of the fundamentalists. Saturday, before going to Chattanooga, Mr. Bryan had delivered an address at Winchester, Tenn. He spent the night of July 25th with A. W. Lesley, owner and manager of the Ross hotel, and they motored to Dayton next morning. Mr. Bryan was cheerful and enthusiastic over the prospect of his latest lecture, which he was scheduled to deliver July 27 th. It was entitled, "What Can I Do With Coolidge Gives Sympathy Swampscott, Mass. President Coolidge has Bent the following letter of condolence to the widow of William Jennings Bryan: "My Dear Mrs. Bryan: The suddent death of Mr. Bryan brought a sense of personal loss to Mrs.: Coolidge and myself. It was only the other day that he had been our guest at the White House. We wish to exte-.- 1 to you and your family our heartfelt sympathy. Mr. Bryan has been a prominent figure in public affairs for a third of a century. He has been a leader in the advocacy of many moral reforms and was representative of the effort for purity in our political life. He was endowed with the great gift of eloquence. The sincerity of his motives was beyond dispute. He was three times chosen head of a great political party and held the exalted office of secretary of state. His career was another example of what American opportunity affords to those who have the will industriously to apply themselves. It would be difficult to find among his contemporaries anyone with so large a circle of friends and acquaintances who had so generously bestowed upon him their esteem and confidence.

Wholy Writ Fair skies and a Trinidad, warm sun greeted inhabitants of Trinidad and the surrounding country as they returned to their homes and prepared to check up property damage resulting from cloudbursts July 22nd. Na casualties are reported following the heavy rains that sent the Purgatoire river out of its banks, but property damage, it is estimated, may reach the $400,000. Property loss and damage is comColo. bined in washouts on bridges and highways and in flooded basements in business houses and homes along the river bottoms. Train service on all railroads entering the city was practically demoralized. With 600 feet of track and steel bridge gone between here and Raton, N. M., the Atchison, Topeka & Sante Fe railroad was unable to maintain service over its lines from Chicago to California. Smaller washouts here likewise interferred with service on the Colorado & Southern and the Denver and Rio Grande systems. Reports dribbling in from outlying communities indicate that property loss and damage may exceed the $400,000 estimate made by Trinidad business men. Scores of families, forced to flee to the uplands, returned to their homes after a night spent in uptown hotels and rooming houses. Many of the flood refugees were housed in the centennial school building on the north side of the river, which was thrown open as a shelter after the first cloudburst drove hundreds of lowland dwellers to higher ground. An action which may Washington. throw the evolution question into the federal courts for Judicial determination as to whether the teaching of this scientific theory inculcates disrespect for the Holy Bible has begun here by Loren H. Wittner, a government employee. The vehicle employed a rider to the 1925 District of Columbia appropriation bill, which provides that "no part of this sum (for the public schools) shall be available for the salary of any superintendent who permits the teaching of or any teacher who teaches disrespect for the Holy Bible." The action is in the nature of an injunction proceeding directed at the auditor and disbursing officer of the District of Columbia and Frank White treasurer of the United States, to prohibit them from making further payments of salaries to Frank W. Bal-losuperintendent of schools, and W. P. Hay, head of the department of biology and chemistry in the Washington high schools. Immediately upon the filing of the proceedings. Justice Siddons of the District of Columbia supreme court issued a rule on the two District officials, Daniel J. Donovan, and James R. Lusby, and Mr. White, directed them to appear to show cause why an injunction net issue should against them. In his petition, Wittner sets forth that he brings the suit in his own right as a taxpayer. After the filing of the suit he declared he was acting for himself. He is represented by Attorney B. M. Dolby and J. N. young Washington lawyers. Explaining that the case here differs widely from that tried at Dayton, Tenn., Attorney Dolby said the local courts would be asked to interpret the words "disrespect for the Holy Bible," and that this should allow an infinite amount of evidence from scientists, religious liberals, fundamentalists, clergymen and educational leaders. In the Dayton case, he added, tbe sole question was if a state statue had been violated and since admittedly it had been, the courts were left to decide ony that question and the higher courts would be without Jurisdiction on the question as to whether the law itself is in conflict with the constitution. In his petition Wittner alleges elev-- n specific instances in which, Ballou and Hay either teach or permit to be taugh matter contradicting the literal words of the Bible. He referred directly to G. W. Hunter's biology, cited in the Dayton trial, as one of the approved textbooks in the Washington high schools, and said this and other textbooks conflicted with the scriptural text. Tor-vesta- Baldwin Tells Of Naval Program London. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin announced in the house of commons that the British government's naval construction program included two cruisers to be laid down in October, two next February and three yearly thereafter, making four cruisers to be constructed this fiscal year and three next. The British government also has decided upon the annual construction of nine destroyers and six submarines, together with certain auxiliary vessels, beginning with the financial year 1926-27- , this program to be continued during the normal life of the present parliment, Baldwin announced. Some of the hew cruisers will conform to tbe existing 10,000-totype and the remainder will be smaller and less expensive, of a type approximating 8,000 tons, to be designed by trie admiralty. The adidtional expenses this year, which Prime Minister Baldwin estimated at 527,170 pounds sterling (about 2,600,-000- ) above the present navy estimates, would be met by the admiralty by savings under other departments and by funds which are likely to accrue by not spending money appropriated.

Washington. has formally announced that she will not seek the seat in the United States senate made vacant by the death of her husband. In a statement, addressed to women's organizations which had urged her to make the race, she expressed the belief that she could perform a greater service for the Progressive cause by devoting herself to the task of writing her husband's biography from 1912 to the time of his death from "a wealth of notes and material" prepared by the senator. Mrs. La Follette's statement made public here through friends is expected to clear the way for an early announcement by Governor Blaine of a special election to fill the unexpired term of the leader of the independents. The regular Republican organization in Wisconsin is laying plans to nominate a candidate for the place and to wage a determined fight to recapture the state. Several of the La Follette lieutenants are known to have aspirations for the office and national leaders of the independent Progressive forces are endeavoring to have all differences as between the aspirants removed so that a solid front may be presented in the general election. While no announcement has been made, it is rather generally believed here that Robert M. La Follette Jr. will make the race for his father's seat, of course, that he will have the Indorsement of Mrs. La Follette, a fact which political observers familiar with the situation in Wisconsin regard as a factor of great importance in the contest. Mrs. La Follette in her statement, said she realized that her election might pave the way for other women to be elected to the senate, but that after giving careful thought to the special obligations which circumstances have placed her, she could not it is her bring herself to believe that " duty to enter the field. "It would be against nature for me to undertake the responsibilities of political leadership," she asserted, adding: "This is a critical time in the history of the Progressive movement. Progressives, in the United States senate are few in number, but they are vested with great responsibility and power. I need not suggest how vitally the choice of Mr. La Follette's successor may affect the cause. "When the Progressive voters of Wisconsin perform the solemn duty of choosing a candidate to fill out the unexpired term, I would ask them to think not only of the unswervering devotion to the cause, capacity and fitness, but also the iron resolution, enthusiasm and faith necessary to carry on the work Senator La Follette has laid down." Ambassador To Japan Dead Toklo, Japan. Edgar Addison Bancroft, American ambassador to Japan Amdied July 26th at Karrauizawa. bassador Bancroft was taken ill at Karuizawa, a popular mountain resort in central Japan, where he was spending the summer, about three weeks ago. At first it was thought he was suffering from indigestion, but his trouble was later diagnosed as - a small duodenal ulcer. Instructions for his treatment were cabled to Japan by a Washington specialist. Mr. Bancroft was appointed ambassador to Japan last August and assumed his post in November. He was 68 years of age. Prior to his appointment he already was widely known as a distinguished lawyer, coming from an American family which had been traced nearly 300 years. I (1 E. A.
