Bozeman, Mor?t.,~ July 22.?William J. Bryan tonight' reiterated his % refusal to accept the Prohibition par" ty nomination. The first intimation of hife nomination for the presidency by the Pro T VAK hibition conyeiULon at was received by him at 1 o'clock this | j afternoon at Madison Lake, upon his j v return from a fishing trip when he j % read an Associated Press dispatch i giving the text of the telegram sent i to him by the convention at Lincoln, j He was 40 miles from any telegraph ! office at the time but as soon as he' reached Xorris, he telegraphed a reply declining the nomination. The text of his telegram is as follows: '"Please deliver following message to the chaiinian of the Prohibition national convention now in session at Lincoln, Neb. "Having been away from the railroads and telegraph facilities for the past 24 hours, I have not received t .your telegram -notifying me of the: nomination tendered me by the Pro- j .hibition party convention.

I also share the convention's disappointment at the failure of the Democratic and Republican parties 'to pledge their candidates to sifch a policy but L can not in justice to the Prohibition party nor to myself acl cept the nomination.

Lincoln, Neb., July 22.?Delegates to the Prohibition national convention were completely nonpulsed when informed by the Associated Press tonight that W. J. Bryan had flatly refused to accept the nomination tenJ-??J Ki? +Via norfv f UCICU IHIli JfCSIC1/HV (/Ml . It had been believed generally that he would accept, and the convention through the day had made it? plan? with that view. The convention was in recess when the first dispatches from .Bozeman,! , Mont., were received, bur the news j quickly spread and a funeral could j not have given a more disconsolate > appearance around the Prohibition | headquarters. The dispatches from Bozoman end * t*d a search by hundreds of persons.: for Mr. Bryan ci'ir.g the past 24 j hours, during which time Mr. Bryan, i although a national figure and on a , "public speaking tour, had been unin- i tentionallv completely hidden from ; friends, relatives and the publi*:. During the day hundreds of tele- j irrams came to his office here urging him to accept the nomination and tel-. asrranh companies reported several1 hundred more dispatched to the va-! rious places where he was reported to be. Meantime nhe platform committee, f which early this morning: was'ready to present it? tentative draft to the j convention, went back into executive j session to redraft certain points so : that a platform certain to suit Mr. \ Brvan could he adopted.

The art of registering on the screen the workings of the brain and the innermost frame of mind of certain characters is reported to be specially demonstrated in Vitagrah's newest feature, "Slaves of Pride.-' Alice Joyce is star of this production, which is scheduled as the attraction at the opera house on Tuesday. "Slaves of Pride" is a screen drama on the theme of supreme 1 Tj- *????< a-vl r?4-n VM nn pririe. it unioms & visuui juhchi^hi, of "how pride can fasten itself on certain types of mmd, overpower them in the fashion of a disease and lead the victim into strange experiences.. Miss Joyce plays the role of a beautiful crirl who is sacrificed in matrimony to the god of wealth. Patricia Leeds, the girl, becomes the unwilling bride of Brewster Howard, a wealthy man obsessed with excessive ideas of his own importance andva sufferer of the pride germ. Brewster, played by Percy Marmont, manages to express by his bearing and actions the most^ delipntp shades and tints of his thoughts, conveying a vivid vision of how his mind works. Patricia, through;Miss Joyce, likewise sets forth the. workings of a mind subjugated by the domineering mind of the other. The conflici/of these two leads to surprisingly dramatic conditions and a climax packed with excitement. "Edgar.'s Jonah Day." Strained relations usually exist between baby brother aged, four or fie, and big brother, aged ten or twelve. It is so in "Edgar's Jonah Day," the third episode of the Booth Tarkington "Edgar" series, which monies to the opera house Wednes/*v? +Viio nnfnr. day. une reasim uuo cunate diplomatic situation, as described by Mr. Tarkingtdn, wag baby brother's entire lack of adaptability to big brother^ schemes. The latter did not regard with favor an individual whose appearance was usually coincident with, the parental command to "stay home and play nicely with little brother Charlie." "Bab's Candidate." No woman ever went into politics for a more peculiar re'ason than that which impelled Barbara Marvin to pick a candidate for the state assembly. Apparently, too, th^re never wns so strange a selection made for political office. The story is told in ''Bab's Candidate." a sprightly comedy visualized by Vitacrraph. which will be shown at the opera horre Wednesday with Corinne Griffith 1 the. role of Barbara. There was method in Bab's seeming madness. She had her own good reasons for wishing to insure the. defeat of the man she loved and intended to marry. Her choice of a candidate seemed utterly preposterous, hut Bab knew what she was 'Smg in this, and she conducted an ingenius and successful campaign. mm v BODY OF WOMAN FOUND IN TRUNK Every Vital Orean Except Brain Ha<i Been Removed?Polic'e Investigate Clues.
