OWNERSHIP OF ROADS PLAN CHEERED TO ECHO BY RADICALS OF PARTY By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. (Editor of The Atlanta Georgian.) Bpeelul to The Georgian. Nee York, Aug. JJ.—It I* the simple truth to say that Bryan's speech last night has simply revived the differ ences between the two wings of the Democratic party^^^^^^H^^^^H tiic radical element of the party heartily applauded nil utterance relat ing to the government ownership of railroads. The conservative element shrugs Its shoulders, and not raring to enter a protest 111 the face of the pres rut Bryan movement, contents ltsel with aaylng that It was merely an ex prreslon of his Indlvldusl opinion and not Intended to be urged as a plank In Hi? next national platform. IT BROUGHT APPLAUSE. Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, nsi u night's rest and worry over It. nature Daniel and Martin, of Vir ginia, conservatives, shook their heads doubtfully over It. Griggs, of Georgia, rather likes It, but the alignment Is everywhere the same, the radical Dem ocrats rejoicing and the conservatives doubtful and at heart disapproving. Meanwhile It Is highly significant that no part of Bryan's if/iech re- celved sucli Instant, enthusiasm and long continued spplause from the i rent representative audience In Madison Square Garden aa the railroad utter ance. It wai a brave and consistent thing In Bryan to make It. The New York papers comment varlouely. Call It Undemocratic. The Times nnd Tribune declare that It t* undemocratic and ranges Bryan alongside of, Hearst In the effort to reorganise the Democratic party along radical lines, even If party lines are obliterated to do It. It Is significant that Hearst, after the meeting at the garden, broke hie rule and called on Bryan at hla hotel, remaining some time. To summarize the whole situa tion, the epeech leaves the Democratic leaders who are In New York undecided In approval and distrust. But Bailey and Culberson, of Texas, gave the stamp of their approval ay speaking at the overflow meeting after having read Bryan’s speech In advance. It was a great speech, a mighty, magnificent audience and a vast en thusiasm. To my own mind, 1 believe that Bryan believes and knows he can sweep the country on his railroad plank as Hoke Smith swept Georgia. The age Is radical, the majority of the Democrats and many of the Republi cans are against the railroads and will follow Bryan. Five years hence they might not do It. But they will do It next year or two years hence. Regarding Invitation. Bryan would neither accept nor de cline the Invitation to the Atlanta fair for October. He was Just uncertain about his October t'lnys. He was will ing to come In September, but would not be able to say about October un til after he had visited Lincoln, Nets The Georgia delegation, fifteen strong, called on Hearst at hla home yester day. DISOWNS BODY OF HUSBAND WHO DIED IN FULTON TOWER Some time Thursday night or Fri day morning, J. C. Elliott died In a cell on the third floor of the Tower. A cor- oner’s Jury empanelled Friday morning could not find a cause for death.

Little knots and groups of men would huddle together here and there on the court house lawn, on the streets and around the railway station. On the trains It seemed to be the one topic of conversation, and for the nonce, overshadowed the great Bryan reception In New York.

Jl.—Amatlng dla- cloauret today concerning the devious methods of Frank K. Hippie, president of the collapsed Real Estate Trust Company Included chiefly the remark' able statement that he put up 11,000.- 000 In one of the wild schemes of Lewie O. Tewksbury, the former New York bank "promoter." George H. Earle, receiver of the failed concern, one of the most promi nent financiers of Philadelphia, Is con nected with four of the largeet banks of the city, end Is chiefly Interested In trying to rehabilitate the trust com pany. Bays He Got *5,000,000. He made this statement today: Frank K. Hippie blew hla bralne out because he was an embextler of at least 15.000,000. In addition, he waa hypothecated J6J.000 worth of paper, securing J50.000 on It and never re turning the paper or Ite equivalent -The loans, amounting to 16,000,000, that Hippie made to Adolph Segal were personal loans. Although made in the name of the bank, the directors had no knowledge of them and consequent ly the money was stolen by Hippie." Directors Knew of 8uicide. The directors of the tnut company made the amazing admission that they knew on Sunday night that President Hippie was a suicide, and despite this, they kept the bank open for two days. They admitted that during these two days all the deposits received were marked and placed for safe-keeping In the Franklin National Bank. The law makes It a criminal offence for of- [Jlcers of an Inetltutlon to receive de posits, knowing that the bank Is In solvent. The marking of tha money on Mon day and Tuesday Is a confession that the directors knew the bank to be In solvent And It waa further shown to day that the directors and friends of directors, knowing the bank to be In solvent and 11s president a suicide, had ample opportunity to draw out their deposits. Clerks Tipped Friends. And the clerks, taking their cue from the marking of the new deposits, were able to notify their friends, and the.-* In turn their friends, and ns a result there was a run on the bank f-r two days by these lucky depositors w ho were on the Inside. ■The fact that the trust company held more than JC0,040,000 worth of Various collateral, principally to secure corpor ation bond Iseues, and that It also held securities representing the Investment of more than J2J,000,000 of trust funds, makes the crash formidable and com- plex.
