= mea L ONE CENT. WASHINGTON, June 8.—Secretary Bryan late to-day submitted his resignation to President Wilson and it was accepted. The resignation was the result of a misunderstanding over the terms of the President's note to Germany, which Mr. Bryan wished modified. IT WAS STATED AUTHORITATIVELY THAT THE RESIGNATION, WHICH HAD BEEN UNDER CONSIDERATION FOR SEVERAL DAYS, WAS ACCOMPLISHED WITH THE UTMOST GOOD FEELING BETWEEN THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND PI IDENT WILSON. IT RESULTED FROM DIFFERENCES OF OPINION OVER THE NOTE ABOUT TO BE SENT TO GERMANY.

Meanwhile City Clerk Scully will install several of his clerks in the places of the ousted trio. There is one thing that is worrying the City Clerk, and that is a successor to “Happy Jack" Reordan, who, it is understood, will pitch his tent wher- ever the “marriage trust” decides to go. “Ll simply have to send a petition to the Board of Aldermen for another volunteer if Reordan deserts us," de- clared Scully, disconsately. Asserting that conditions in the city's mérriage chapel ure intolerable, and that they should not be con- tinued for another moment, Cor missioner of Accounts Walistein t day bad previously asked Acting: Mayor McAneny to break up tho so- called “marriage trust,” The three members of the “mar- riage trust,” Commissioner Walistein states, make each $15 to $18 a day from brides and grooms who are steered from the Marriage Bureau on the second floor of the Municipal Building to the marriage chapel on the third floor, It was charged by Wallstein that the men in the marriage ring “have plied @ most profitable trade upon the ignorance chiefly of our immigrant population.” It was further claimed there was no ordinance covering the establish- ment of a marriage chapel and that its regulation Is entirely within the hands of City Clerk P. J. Scully. Commissioner Walistein said Paul evidently likes his job for he has been a member of the marriage com- bine for eighteen ye The Commissioner suggested that Alderman “Happy Jack” Reardan, “combine” just to “help them ou continue this work for the city on the same gratis basia. Speaking of the regular occupations of the “marriage, trust” members, Riordan t "I don't know that they wry anything. I have known them all my life. I performed marriages to help them out. They are Tammany people, and naturally would help a panother if we could. “1¢ City Clerk Scully hadn't thrown out the marriage combine,” said Com- ing, but he did object to her smoking lin public places, “While attending my mother’s fu- |neral in the little town of Milton, | Pa. “said McCormick, “my wife In- | sisted on smoking in the street on/| lour way to the funeral, I objected.)
