The medal- lion, which is the work of Miss Lelia Ushor of Boston and is considered the finest sculp- tured likeness of Miss Anthony in exist will probably be placed in the women' studyroom of the university as that Miss Anthony's wish.

LINCOLN, July 26.—(Special Telegram.)— The unheralded visit of D. H. Mercer and Frank Ransom during the early hours this morning may be significant in connection with the indefinite postponement of Gov- ernor Savage's trip to Omaha to confer with interested persons regarding the Fire and Police commission appointments, espeeially as the two men were in close consultation with the governor while here. They came on the traln arriving here at 12:40 a. m. They were joined down town by the gov- ernor and together the three went to the Elks' clubrooms, where they remained while the reports of the Jeffries-Fitzsimmons prize fight were coming in. After the knock- out they went to the Lincoln hotel, where they remained in uninterrupted conference for over an hour. The midnight visitors left the city on the 7:45 train, returning to Omaha. “That was all a pipe dream,” sald a man close to the governor, speaking of the re- port in The Bee that Governor Savage would arrive In Omaha at 8 o'clock this afternoon. “He didn’t intend to go any of the time." Notwithstanding the declaration of Gov- ernor Savage and his friends to the con- trary, there are good grounds for the as- sertion that the meeting of the early morn- ing was prearranged, but on short notice, and that it was all because of the gov- ernor's expressed intention to listen to Omaha taxpayers before making the ap- pointments. The reason Mercer s inter- esting himeelf in the case is self-evident, for with a commission whose appolntment e has dictated or influenced he will be in & position to exercise authority over the commission’s creatures. One man almost hyeterically remarked when he heard of the court's decision declaring it to be the duty of the governor to make the appoint- ments, “that will save Mercer it he can mame the men for the commission.” MOTHER IS AFTER HER BABY Nuckolls County Woman Asserts It Was Taken Away by Her Brothe: TOPEKA, Kan., July 26.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Elmer Crone and wife of Nuckolls couniy, Nebraska, today filed an application in the supreme court to secure the custody of their 15-months’-old baby, Irene Crone, who is living with Mr. and Mrs. 8.

This will be the first college association bullding that has ever . been erected and it is hoped that ft will prove but the beginning of an effort to provide one of the greatest needs of the work. The Secretarial institute of the Amer- fcan committee, Young Women's Christian assoclation, will be held in M{lwaukee this year, instead of at Assoclation house, Chi- cago, as usual. The reason for this change is that the exceptionally complete equip- ment of the pew Milwaukee assoclation bullding will greatly facllitate the work. The date set for the institu s from July 22 to August 20, The Milwaukee asso- clation bullding is one of the finest in the country and was the gift of Miss Sarab Plankington of Milwaukee, its cost being $75,000.

PARTY PLEDGES ARE BEING REDEEMED Declines to Be Placed in a False Light by World-Herald and Its Follow- ing of Mongr Pol. itie OMAHA, July 26.—To the Editor of The Bee: A local newspaper charges me with baving two years ago repudiated the re- publican platform, for which I voted as a delegate from this district in the natjonal republican convention. The charge in false. 1 should be judged by what I sald, and not by the headlines that were written by the World-Herald. The platform declared specifically that the pledge to Cuba should be kept. Any repubjican campaign speaker who argued otherwise two years ago repudiated the platform of his party. Any republican speaker who argued that China was to be divided by the powers of Europe and that it was necessary for our commercial in- terests to obtain soverelgnty over a por- tion of China in the expected division, has been proved to be out of harmony with republican policies. Any republican who argued in favor of the colonial system in the Philippines and sympathized with the restrictfons upon the elective franchise which has been adoptel by the democratic party in the southern states, repudiated that plank in the republican national plat- form which in effect condemned the demo- cratic party for distranchising the laboring population of the south who happened to be colored. President Roosevelt himself, in his Decoration day address, has treated the question of the permanent government of the Philippine Islands as an open one and sald that it should not be determined until after a stable government is formed. Freedom in Philippines, Meanwhile, all the legislation in refer- ence to the islands has tended toward giv- ing them local self-government and en- couraging them to participate in political affairs. More freedom in the American gsense has been given to the Philippines in the short space of four years than was ever given by any other conquering people to thelr subjects in a century. Every person who knows me, knows that my love Tor and belief in freedom makes me sympathize with the present course and willing to mssist in its frultion. It s not the manner, but the end, we seek. ‘That in the end freedom in the American sense will be obtained through the republican party—always its champlon—I have no doubt. Many political fssues existed long before the Spanish war and will exist after Phil- ippine affairs have passed into history. Who ever knew of a republican being cen- demned by his fellows because he loved treedom and belleved that only in the bet- terment of the conditions of the poor can soclety improve? I care mot whether the poor are the toiling masses of the north, the distranchised laborers of the south or the helpless subjects of other nations. Par- ticipation in and responsibility for the af- fairs of government is the only policy that evér developed individuality and charactr® in any people. Such deceptions as are beinx practiced against me are refuted by the act of Presi- dent Roosevelt in selecting Mr. Littleficld to prepare the bill for the regulation of trusts and monopolies. .Why did’ not.the president choose our congressman, Who ought. to be equipped by ten years of office for such work, instead of a man who had been but two terms in office and had be- come prominent as an anti-imperialist re- publican? The president recognizes that the sentiments and Instincts that made Mr. Littlefield oppose the Beveridge wing of the republican party were not based so much on mere sentimentality as the effect upon the great problems that confront wus at home. Those who love freedom and be- leve in the equality of all men before the law as both right and expedient will = be found the truest friends of the people in these serious problems that threaten equal- ity of opportunity in our soclety. Policy of Prestdent. ( President Roosevelt recognizes that in the building of the isthmian canal and the government of distant possessions during danger that the frauds that attended. the bullding of the Union Pacific raflway will be repeated and that individual selfishne: may corrypt distant officers and draw st plefon upon our pure motives in the 1 lands. Honesty and merit in the public service has been the hobby of his life. Never did our country stand more in need of such a man with such a hobby, He knows that his truest friends and support- ers will be the men who long ago foresaw such dangers. When the interests that have always and are now supporting Mr. Mercer shall look with fear upon President Roosevelt's honesty and strenuosity the masses of republicans will be glad to know that there are men Illke Mr. Littlefleld who will support and hold up the hands of ‘the president as a matter of conviction and not for spolls.

Corn, he re- ports as being backward everywhere ex- cept in Kai to accomplish, artistically, scientifically, professionally, industrially, politically and domnestically. By means of an enterprise comprehending the expenditure of & large sum of money and the utilization of in- telligently directed energy, the league hopes to be able to make.beneath one root an adequate representation of the various pursuits of women in every known country and in every century. Such an exhibition was opened to the public {n 1900 at Earl's Court, London, where if proved wondertully successful, and the league confidently be- lleves that, counting on the progress made sinco then and upon the superiority of conditions in the United States, there will be comparatively liitle dificulty in sur- passing the results achieyed in England.” The exhibition is for purposes of enumer- ation and description, divided into five sections. The industrial section will in- clude all things actually being accom, plished and In process of accomplishment at the garden. The commercial section ia supposed to be composed of such goods and products as were completed and ready for use when o d 1 the exbibitlon. The educational section will include the demoustrations and shows of the applied and fine arts of literature and science, history and athletics. The national sec- tion will include the streets of all nations and the amusement section will be the streets in Venice. l FORECAST OF THE WEATHER Falr and Warmer Sunday and Fair Monday is Promise fo Nebrasks.
