STIR OVER BRYAN SALARY
WASHINGTON IS ALL AGOG.
Senator Hristow Calls on President
Wilson to Name Sum to Keep
Secretary at His Post.
Washington. July 16.?Washington
yesterday was interested ehiefy
in developments following Secretary
Bryan's statement that he had to
spend his vacation on the lecture
platform, because he could not live
on me salary or *iz,uuu a year. The
lobby investigation, the tariff and
the Mexican situation were forgotten
temporarily, at least, while
everybody talked about the resolution
by Senator Brlstow calling on
the President to "advise the senate
what would be a proper salary to enable
the present secertary of state tc
live with comfort and enable him tc
give his time to the discharge of his
public duties."
When the Bristow resolution was
read amid Republican laughter,
democratic Leader Kern and other
senators immediately objected to its
consideration and after a few brief
exchanges it went over. It was fully
discussed, however, in the lobbies
and cloak rooms at both ends of the
Capitol.
When Mr. Bryan's attention was
called to some criticism, that had
been published in regard to his lecturing
he replied as follows:
BRYAN'S STATEMENT.
?*T om clorl tn hnrn tho rrltlplsm
brought to my attention. I believe
In criticism of public officials. Criticism
Is helpful. If a man makes a
mistake, criticism enables him to
correct It, If he Is unjustly criticised
the criticism helps him. I have had
my share of criticism since I have
been In public life. Hut It has not
prevented my doing what I thought
proper to do.
"In devoting a part of my vacation
to lecturing I am doing what I believe
to be proper and I have no
fear whatever that any unbiased person
will criticise mo when he knows
the facts.
"For 17 years the sources of my
income have been writing and lecturing,
but each year I have made more
public speocl.es, without compensation
and where I have paid my own
traveling expenses, than I have where
compensation was received. My
earning capacity has been large and
I have made not only an income sufficiently
for my Immediate needs but
have saved, on an average, something
more than $10,000 a year.
"In accepting the office which T
now hold. I gave up the opportunity
to add to my accumulations for I
do not expect t'> Increase, during my
term, the amount I have laid aside
?that is, I am willing to forego what
advantage I might derive from the
acquiring of $40,000 more for the
rrivilege of serving the country in
this office during the coming four
years. I will do more if necessary,
but I do not believe that fair-minded
people will ask It of me.
NO REASON TO CHANGE.
"Therefore, until I see some reason
for changing my purpose I ex?
"ot to Ippturp enough to bring my
ome up to mv expenses, these lucres
to bp delivered during thp tinio
'bat other officials get to thpir vaca?
ons. In addition to supplementing
uy salary. I hopp that my lpoturps
''a good?ppople who attpnd thorn
>uld not do so if thpv did not think
(hoy rpcpivpd thpir monpy's worth,
but I would bp glad to sppnd my
' cation rpsting instead of lecturing
I could do so without pating up
the amount I havp laid away as a
? -<>taction against old agp.
Senator Rristow's resolution sot
0 't that from 17 89 to 1797 Thomas
' fferson and Edmund Randolph
bold the otllrp of the sprrotary of
'ate at sa'aries of $3,500 a ypar:
'-"in 1799 to 1819 John Marshall.
J:imw Madison, James Monroe and
John Quiney Adams served at $5.000;
from 1819 to 1853 Henri- Clay,
Martin VanRuren. Daniel Webster.
John C. Calhoun and James Ruehanan
served at $0,000; from 1853 to
1 oi 1 William H. Seward. James G.
Rlaine, Thomas F. Bayard, Walter
O. Gresham. Richard Olnev, John
Sherman, John Hay and Elihu Root
served for $8,000 and added:
"During this long period of time
no one of these efficient statesmen
was compelled to neglect the duties
of the office because of the meagerness
of salary."
$12,000 NOT ENOUGH.
"Whereas. The great 'Commoner'
now holding that office. Honorable
William J. Bryan, has stated in the
public press that the salar., of $1,000
a month is not sufficient to enable
him to live with comfort, and that
because of the meagerness of the
salary of $12,000 per annum he is
compelled to neglect the duties of
his office and go upon the lecture
platform in order to earn a living
and that, whereas, there are now
pending before the Department of
State matters of the highest importance
to the Nation affecting the relations
of our country with Mexico,
Japan, England and other foreign
countries that demand the most
earnest, careful and continuous attention
of the Secretary of State,
therefore, be it,
"Resolved, That the President be
requested, if not incompatible with
the ptiblic interests, to advise thf
Senate what should he a proper salaary
to enable the present Secretary ol
State to live with comfort and to enable
him to give his time to the discharge
of his public duties, for which
he is now being paid the sum of $1,000
a month, and be it further
"Itesolved, That the President bt
respectfully asked to give this subject
as prompt attention as his convenience
will permit in order thai
Congress may take immediate step!
to relieve the country from the great
loss which it suffers by being deprived
of the services of the present
Secretary of 8tate, though it is now
paying for such services at the ratf
of $1,000 a month."
WANTS NO INCREASE.
Senator Shafroth of Colorado de
clared Secretary Bryan had assurec
him he did not desire an increase o
salary.
Secretary Bryan's home in Wash
ington is the old mansion ot Genera
John A. Logan, for which he payi
$4,000 a year. Former Secretary
Knox, who rented a house in Diplo
matic Row in fashionable K. street
paid $7,000 a year, though durinj
his term of office he received but j
salary of $8,000, because the salar:
of Secretary of State was increase<
, while he was a senator and was de
I barred from enjoying the tncreas<
by a constitutional provision.
The historians of Washingtoi
point out that many of Mr. Bryan'i
predecessors in comparatively recen
years were wealthy. John Hay'i

Co-Operative Study of Forest Conditions

Washington, July 17.?The secretary
of apriculture has just signed
an agreement with the state ol
North Carolina for a co-operative
study of forest conditions in the eastern
piedmont region. The work will

The study will determine the distribution
and proportion of foresl
lands, and the relative value ol

It will take into account the present
status of lumbering, the causes and

study of the forests of the western

is finished it is planned to proceed
to a similar study of the coastal plain

On Shaking Hands

strong, friendly, earnest handclasp?
If it's vice-like, quit it! The Lord

' the bones of another human being's
hand.

" just as well as you can into your talk
or your letters.
? "That man." said a captain of industry.
of another business getter,
"knows three valuable things?very
5 valuable. He knows when to listen,
when to talk, and how to shake
hands."

But the right kind of a handshake

PLANNING.
I'm planning to go away somewhere
To spend eleven weeks,

Or else among the peaks.
I'm planning to go away somewhere
To mix where fashion whirls;
To float among the giddy throng
And meet a thousand girls.
I'm planning to go away somewhere
To get a coat of tan.
I do not know that I shall go.
But it is fun to plan.

ENDING OF SEA FEUD

sailors who held him. Mr. Buck, the J1

terlaced about Nicola's waist, utterly t
unmindful of the cruel looking stiletto a
shaking in the powerful Italian's hand, t
Captain Newton advanced to the *
main hatch, his long, patriarchal beard 0
falling to his waistband. b
"Stop It, gall darn ye, stop It," he ^
thundered. "I'm short handed now,
and I won't have any man killing on '
this here hooker. Batten down your
feelin'8. you two fellers, till you get to r
Rio Grande, and then you can chop
each other into bits and devil take v
what's left, but there's to bo no chop- ^
pin' on the Apollo."
The two sailors released Bradd, who a
recommenced the work he had stopped a
to tight Nicola, and the Italian, find- ,
ing himself free from the mate's hold, '
walked dignifiedly forward and went
below. The crisis had been passed, ?
temporarily at least.
What begun the feud between the *
men no one knew. It existed when J
i they shipped in New York and they
had spat hate at each other during the
voyage, but this was the first time J
an actual collision had been threatened.
> "It's only put off," remarked old ^
Ned. oracularly; "blood'll fly yet."
There were several days of bright '!
sunshine, calm sea and cloudless sky,
and on one of these mornings tho "
mate ordered Nicola to some duty on ^
the fore-topgallant yard. The Italian ;
looped a line about his neck and grip- u
ping a marline spike in his teeth
climbed the weather rigging. Just
as he swung himself over the top he
lost his hold and fell like a plummet
into the sea.
"Man overboard," yelled O'Neill, K
who was at the wheel, and ho flung a 11
life buoy over the rail. j l
The skipper was on deck In ono
Jump. 11
"Heave her to," ho shouted.
"Braces," came sharp and curt from I
the mate, and the men hurried to
obey, casting glances aft.
"He's a goner," exclaimod Mr. Buck.
"No, there he is," said sharp-eyed
O'Neill, pointing over the lee quar- j
ter, and there, sure enough, was a
black speck, the head of Nicola. Ho
was swimming, bat slowly and l&borJp
ously.
Tbe brig had boon brought to and
the boat ready, when a cry came from
the poop.
"Hi, hi! Shark, see him!"
Abeam was the triangular fin of a
shark cutting the water as It made a!
straight course for Nicola.
"It's all up," muttered the mate;
"nothing can save him now."
There waa a splash, and to our astonishment
