Bryan in reply to a question as to what
he .considers the paramount issue con
fronting the incoming congress. He
said he believed the demand for pub

“Colonel Roosevelt once suggested
thia in a message. I Immediately ad

plan has not been tried,” he said.
The Nebraska statesman believes
that publicity also has had a favorable
effect upon the size of contributions.
'’However, when the idealist in poli

the sake of the ‘ldeal’ he ought to have
a guardian appointed for his estate,”

Mr. Bryan refused to speculate on the

NEW YORK, Nov. 11. —The greatest
array of operatic talent that ever reach
ed this city nt one time arrived last
week aboard the steamer Kronprinz
Wilhelm.
With more decorations than his broad
chest could display, Enrico Caruo came
smiling down the gangplank inquiring
the result of the election. When told
that Woodrow Wilson represented the
people’s choice, he replied:
“It suits me. but 1 should have been
just as satisfied to see any one else
elected. What’s the difference to an
artist? Politics and opera have noth
ing In common."
Caruso would not talk of the law suit
which he won in Milan. The only top
ic that interested him was the numbei
of decorations presented to him by
European royalties.
During the summer he sang in Vien
na, Stuttgart. -Munich. Berlin and Ham
burg. The German .emperor, who heard
Caruso sing In one of Puccini’s operas,
sent for and decorated him with the
Order of the Red Eagle. A week later
the king of Wurtemberg bestowed the
Art and Science medal, and a month
later he received the Order of St. Mich

SMOKEBOARD TO
GET FINAL TEST
Commissioner Oscar Elsas, who
calle.” a halt on the plan of the com
mission to force owners of offending
plants to comply with.the smoke ordi
nance, has urged critics of the smoke
commission to* stay their judgments
until after the meeting tomorrow. He
told Councilman Smith that he would
convince all reasonable persons that
he was working sincerely to abate the
nuisance in Atlanta.
Facing abolishment by council, the
smoke commission will meet tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock to make a final
decision as to its attitude on the war to
abate the smoke nuiKince.
Both K. M. Harwell, chairman of the
smoke commission, aijd Councilman
Charles W. Smith, father of the smoke
ordinance, said today that the next
move in their fight to have the smoke
commission abolished would be deter
mined by the action of the board to
morrow afternoon.
To Force Board’s Hand.
Chairman Harwell said he would force
the hand of the commission by bringing
definite cases of violations of the smoke
"ordinance before it. He said he would
see if the commission was willing to
take any more cases to the recorder's
court.
“But I can foresee little hope of get
ting any good results with some of the
members of the commission so obvi
ously opposed to enforcing the smoke
Ordinance,” he said.
Council-man Smith said today that
his whole desire in the matter was to
eliminate the smoke evil. He said that
he virtually had been convinced that
the smoke commission was not working
to this end, and that he had prepared
an ordinance to abolish the commission.
But he said he was open to convic
tion. and that he had no desire to abol
ish the commission if it proved that it
would work in good faith to enforce the
law.

Conductor on Stand in Strike
Arbitration Hearing—“ An
imus” Letters Not Shown.
The expected letters of General Man
ager T. K. Scott, of the Georgia rail
road, showing, according to the claim
of the union leaders in the strike arbi
tration, • that Conductor J. T. Paschal
was marked for dismissal because of
his activity as a union committee chair
man, did not materialize at the morning
session of the board of arbiters in the
Federal building, but Conductor Pas
chal was put on the stand.
Paschal was questioned for an lioqr
on the details of his trip from Conyers
to Lithonia, and his defense was that
he had acted within orders. Superin
tendent Brand, of the road, sought to
show that Paschal had caused Engineei
P. \V. Roberts to run overtime in viola
tion of the Federal statutes and the
company’s ruling, in accordance there
with.
> A turn occurred In the case wßicff the
union leaders took quick advantage of
This was the statement by Mr. Scott in
presenting the road’s outline of prose

which Paschal is accused of having vio
lated had been reported to the interstate
commerce commission since 1908. Aft
er a conference with Mr. Brand. Mr
Scott declared that he wished that part
of his remarks expunged from the rec
ord, or he desired that Mr. Brand
should take the stand and make a cor
rection.
Other Cases Cjted.
Mr. Brand accordingly that
the road’s chief dispatcher had had
1,079 requests from trainmen for in
structions on whether to proceed with
their trains in violation of the Federal
law.
A message purporting to come from
Mr. Brand to a telegraph operator was
introduced. It ordered that the con
ductor of the freight train then at that
point proceed on his trip, regardless of
the sixteen-hour service law.
Mr. Murdock handed the document to
the court, with the remark that the
union leaders had a number of othe;
such exhibits and would produce them
later. The contention of the union now
is, therefore, that plenty of other viola
tions have taken place, and that thc
conductor in qiff>stion has been dis
criminated against and should be given
back his job.
Ihete was a spirited colloqup be
tween Mr. Brand and Mr. Murdock
while the forme!- was making out the
road’s case, which ended by the lattei
declaring, "Let’s have the facts.” Mr.
Brand said they would be forthcoming.
The board adjourned at 1 o’clock for

It will sit until 4 and meet again to
