In Address at Fair Declares Presi dent Has Delegated to Himself the Authority of a Czar. Tampa, Fla., Feb. 4.-Speaking to an immense throng of people from the grand stand of the race track this afternoon, Wm. J. Bryan said he brought to the Democrats of the South a message of good cheer, that there is a steadily increasing senti ment that makes for the growth of the Democratic party in the United States. He commented on the world-wide spread of Democracy as one of the "signs of the times," when the mass es would demand their rights of ar istocratic class, which is now using every endeavor to hold its own against such a growth. He cited the recent charges in the govern ment of Turkey and declared that the downtrodden masses of that country had forced the most auto cratic monarch of modern times to grant a democratic cons,*itution. He commented upon *;he usurpa tion of power by the "aristocratic party," the present administration, the head of which he referred to as delegating to himself all the authori ty of a czar in the manipulation of I his high office. But a change. is surely, if slowly coming, he declar ed and added that prospects were - brighter than ever for Democratic victory in 1912. i Mr. Bryan injected considerable .humor in hs remarks by saying that he knew there were entirely too many Republicans in the country for e their own good and for the coun try's good, saying that he had been .l "telling them about it" for a long time.

Morrison to jail, and de clared that "these great and royal leaders of organized labor are en Z titled to the sympathy cf the entire Speople." Mr. Bryan said that the trust ques Otion remained unsettled and would be a controlling issue in the next national campaign; that it would re main for the Democrats to give the oAmerican people relief.

The senate BEGINS FIGHT Against the Confirmation of Crum as Port Collector. TILLMAN THE LEADER And He Hopes to Prevent the Con firmation of Crum by the. Senate and Force President-Elect aft to Select Some One Else in His Stead. Washington, Feb. 2.-The Senate spent all of :Lis afternoon in ex excutive session, and if the ascounts that have leaked out are correct, Senator Tillman will probably give the Republican members of that body much trouble over the confir mation of W. D. Crum, as collector for the port of Charleston, before the present session end According to what is said, the ses sion was devoted not alone to the question of negroes, but also to Chinese and Japanese. Senators Bacon and McLaurin as sisted Senator Tillman by discussing at length the present day question of the treatment of Japanese in Cali fornia, and this led into a still fur ther discussion of the Chinese, all of which was brought out to help In the "fillibuster" that Senator Till man has inaugurated' against Crum. With the help of the two Senators named he was able to at least keep the matter down today, and it is understood that from this time on he will be assisted by practically all the Democrats in, the Senate. Al though he was called down by the application of the Senate rules, he was able to beat off 'Senator Frye and others who are clamoring for Crum's confirmation. The pitchfork was brandished considerably, it is said, and, after several hours spent, in an unsuccessful. attempt -to put Crum through, *the executive ses, sion came to an end with Senator Tillman so far the victor. There is not the least doubt now that a first class '"fillibuster" is on, and that if Senator Tilman does not overdo himself in the attempt to hold off Crum's nomination, he will eventually be usecessful. Today's developments have. given hope to those who have been fol lowing the case that the matter will Io over, and that the efforts now be ing made to force Crum on the peo ,le of Charleston for another terb, will come to and end with the Roose velt administration. Executive sessions are secret, and those Senators who take part in the deliberations generally decline to tell what takes place, but those who were on the outside today are firmly con vinced that. Senator Tillman means business, and that if he continues to like the negro, the Japanese and the Chinese question together in or der to kill time he willl-eventually Lwin out in the effort 'to defeat Crum.

L'nited States Supreme Court Up holds Jobber's Contention Against Continental Wail Paper Company. Washington, Feb. 1.-The case of the Continental Wall Paper Com pany vs. Lewis Voight & Sons of Cineinnati was today decided by the supreme court of the United States in Voight's favor. The suit was b)rought by the company on a debt of $57,000, the payment of which was resisted on the ground that the paper company -is a trust. In effect the decision holds that an admitted trust, organized contrary to the Sherman anti-trust lIw, can not use the courr to collect debts. It was represented that Voight had bought over. $200,000 worth of paper, on which he had paid 50 per cent more than he would have had to pay if there had been com petition. It was also set out. that the Continental Company had been organized to conduct the business of the various wall paper factories -of the United Statestand that Voight as a jobber 'in its products, had been compelled to sign a strict agreement on the threat that if he did not do so no paper would be sold to him and -that it would be made impos sible for him to continue in busi ness. In a demurrer the company admit ted that it was a trust and still con tended that it could properly collect debts due it. On this showing the company's petition was dismissed by the 'trial court and its decision was affirmed by the Uniited States circuit court of appeals for the Sixth circuit. Today's opinion was by Justice Har lan, and sustained the decision o0 of the lower courts. Justice Brewer White, Peckham and Holmes dis ,ented. Justice Harlan's opinion was oJ considerable length and dealt in de tail with the various phases' of tho case. It was based on the thir defense of Voight, that the compan is part of a trust. He started ou with the proposition that the Con tinental Company is- within the pro hibition of the Sherman act, which he said, is clear from the facts se forth in its defense. He then wen on to show that. this corporatioi is the representative of combinatioi which would have the effect not on ly of restraining, but of monopo lizing the sale and manufacture o paper.

Hfereafter We .ioxave No More White Bread. By a ruling of Secretary James Wilson, of the National Department of Agriculture, which vtnnt into ef feet on Tuesday, white bread is abolished in the United States of America. Beginning on Tuesday. the millers all over the country must stop bleaching flour. But the bleach ed flour still in stock may lawfully be disposed of until June 9. There will be as much difference. between bread made from unbleadh ed flour and the present bleached flourbread.as there is between-angel cake and sponge cake. The, flour. will be of creamy. color instead. of clear white, and the bread will be light golden in color. But there will be no differende..in flavor. Evidence taken at the bleaching hearings brought out the fact that the wheat .grown in the northwest ,makes a flour almost ds white as the bleached product., The first rnri of the milL likewise, is whiter than the later run. On the other hand, the, wheat grown in the latitude of. St. Louis and, the more Southern States makes a yellow frour. Likewise it was brought out that the flour made from the durum, r so-called macaroni wheat,. reqinres bleaching before it is- 'mi,ixed with the ordinary variety. As.the durum wheat is .about 20 cents cheaper a . bushel, it is clear why the millers like' to' bleach. and mix this,.; pro duct. Te millers will continue bleach ing. flour intended for the export trade. Foreigners are. accustomet to the nice white appearance of: the bleached flour -and will demand it. There' has been. rotest in England against American flour, the com plaint being that iiferior grades of -Uwheat and even whole 'rheat were being worked into flour that., by the bleaching process, was' made, to ap pear 'as of highest, grade. -'It has been' calculated that rwheat fiour bread and crackers, pastry and isimilar~ products constitute .10 per scent of the total food of.the aver age American family.' Digestion ex Speriinents with. healthy men have rshow'i that the' fine flour bread 'is fmore ligestible than:.tfre breads Smale 'from the whole grain.
