Numerous communications have
been received from Congressmen in
response to the receipt of the rcso- J
lutiou passed by the city council ask- j
ing Congress tj a-si*t in the relief,
of the town. Amongst these is one j
from Congressman Driscol of New j
York who suggests that It mi^ht be i
easier to remove the town than the1
glacier. "I take It," he says "tliat|
the glacier was there first, and that
the people were fo:>l hardy lu build

BRYAN CALLED DOWN
BY NEBRASKA SENATOR.
WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12?
Hushing to the defease of Governor
Judson Harmon ol Ohio here toaay ,
Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, bit
terly attacked William J. Bryan's in
timation. that Wail street was pro
moting Harmon's candidacy for the
democratic presidential nomination
and that his declaration that he
would not support Harmon In any
event. Hitchcock said:
"I regard Bryan's statement as an
attempt to repudiate the Nebraska^
primary law. I expert to abide by ,
the law.
"if Speaker Champ Clark has the
most votes in the Nebraska primary
1 expect to support him vigorously
to the end. If Woodrow Wilson has
ihe most votes I will work for him t
to the -end. The same applies to j
Governor Harrion. That is the letter
and spirit of the law.
"Bryan's statements is In defiance
of the law. He announces that un
der no circumstances will he support
Harmon even If the Ohio governor
receives the largest vote in the dem
ocrtic primary I regard this as an
attempt by him to overthrow the
primary law a.nd reassert the old
party boss doctrine.
"Bryan's assertion that Wall street
is supporting Gov. Harmon is entire
ly without proof or foundation so far
as I know. Wall street has no rea
son to be for Harmon.
As governor of Ohio he has shift
ed 1.1,000,000 in taxes which the peo
ple of the sta+e formerly paid onto
the shoulders of the railroads."

from a Jealous ra^e into which he
threw himself in the belief tj'iat he

credit and It was to save the life of
tho third Mrs. Rex that the bear
was removed from Rex's cage and
placed In a separate one, adjoining
that of Silver King. After that Rex
never was himself.
At on^e violent hatred sprang up
between Silver King a;nd Rex. They
roared and quarrelled over "the heaj
j of Mrs. Rex, who lurched about her
I own cage, apparently delighted that,
she was the cause of such dissen
| sion.
! Rex beat at the bars of hi3 cage
[all Monday, gradually his intense
' a?nger reduced him to weakness. Ho
j lay down and refused to answer the
| roaring challenges from his rival. In
j a few hours Rex groaned, keeled
| over on his back and lay still.
Mrs. Rex is now free to become
Mrs. Silver Kin?.
