Discusses Security and Guaranty
Question With Austen
Chamberlain
"«-^,''h
LONDON, Aug 13. ()- Foreign
Minister Briand of France, who has
. been in London since Monday night
a engaging in conferences with the
diritish foreign secretary. Austen
Mhamberlain. on the security and
guarantees questions, returned to
. France this morning." ......
Mr Chamberlin accompanied the
French minister to the station where
he took his train. Laughing and
joking with those who came to bid
him farewell M Briand appeared
to be delighted with the results of
his visit.
There is general satisfaction over
the announcement of the reaching
of a “common agreement by the
French and British foreign minis-
I ters on the reply to be made to
Ger many's communication about a.
security, pact. Newspapers, partic-)
Bulirly those which have shown dis-
“trust of France ever since the oc-
cupation of tile Ruhr, however,
write cautiously, even suspleiously.
about “common agreement."
They say there are still funda-
mental differences between the
British and French conceptions .ot
the situation’and the British view
has stiffened respecting Great Brit-
ain's right to judge on Its merits
every alleged case of aggression by
“Germany which would give. France
the right to intervene under the
nection with the hacking to death
of her husband, Austin Young, 32,
in the couple’s home just before
midnight Wednesday.
The woman told officers that sile
attacked her husband with a hand
axe from behind a door after he had
threatened to cut her throat.
"We had been quarreling," she
said, and he said: shut up or I’ll
cut your throat.’” 4

BUNICK PRESIDENT OF

SAN ANTONIO, Aug. 13__Tax
Commissioner Frank H. Bushick was
elected president of the Bexar coun-
ty Bobiety of Texas Pioneers which
observed pioneer day with a spe-
elal meeting at the Gunter Hotel
Wednesday afternoon.
Others elected are: Mrs. W. P.

even the bulk of
Bry an’s fortune
i was made through
speculation in
: Florida real estat e
% are baaed oa lack
3 of familiarity with
f Bryan’s personal
I earning capacity.
' Bryan did not
speculate in the
sense in which
that word de-
scribes what la
now raging in
Florida. Some land
he had bought
there, chiefly more
KULLITAN than ten years ago
and mainly for a home, multiplied
more than seven hundred percent in
price and he sold it. But those who
seek in land transactions for the
money Bryan left are unaware of
how remunerative lecturing can be.
or how diligently Bryan followed it.
Bryan himself had not kept accurate
account, but it is a reasonable esti-
as much ae a million and a half
dollars for lecturing.
The latter sum would be almost
twice as much as h. left In hie will.
From the day he made his Cross of
Gold speech 29 years and one month
ago. he was the meet sought after
and most steadily high paid lecturer
in the country who followed that
career year In and year out. For
the few seasons that Taft was on
the platform, he was the second and
Irvin Cobb was third. Bryan lectured
in the winter and summer seasons
of every year since 1896 except the
two yeare he was travelling around
t*> world, the two summers he was
running for-the presidency and the
time he was secretary of state and
even did some lecturing during the
last named period.
Two Lectures Daily
He dreye himself hard. Some-
times he would arrange his sched.
ules to give two lectures a day, day
after day. No man ever accumulated
his fortune by harder personal work
or by eo great a giving out of per-
sonal vitality. Bryan was unable to
say exactly, but estimated a few
months ago that he had delivered
an average of more than two hun-
dred lectures and addresses a year
for twenty-five years. Somewhere
without pay. Addresses at Demo-
cratic party events, at formal church
mate that he took In upward of a - - ____- -
million and a quarter and possibly sessions and the like, but for the
great bulk nt his lecturing h. was
paid bully. He had varying ar:
rangements with his managers and
th. lecture bureaus, sometimes a
fixed fee and sometimes a percent-
age of th. receipts. He was able to
make good terms, tor h. was much
in demand and lecture managers
wanted hint a. a back-bone for their
courses. No one Fourth of July
meeting in North Dakota a few
years ago Bryun’s share of th. re-
i ceipts was over $5,000. It 1. reason-
able to estimate that hl. averare
rate in recent years ran from $300
upward to $1,000. In the late nine-
ties and early nineteen hundreds,
$150 was a usual rate for Bryan, at
that time considered rather high for
anyon.. Bryan, early investments
were more sound than remunerative.
“He had a beat for buying a piece
of land In a part of the country that
struck his fancy, and from time to
time h. had homes in Nebraska,
Washington, North Carolina and
Florida. Moat of hla lands and
houses meant no income for him and
only the last one In Florida turned
out fortunately as a speculation. In
that case, fabulously so.
nought Bonds
Whenever he bought securities aa
such, ha stuck to government bonds
“Once he’left a train in Washington,
walked into,tha treasury and said
he had accumulated ten thousand
dollars in a lecture trip, for which
he wished to buy federal farm loan
bank bonds. Government bonds and
land were the only sort of invest -
meht he felt he understood. In his
first campaign for th. presidency. In
1856, Bryan used to say, “No man
can make a million dollars honest-
ly" .By his third campaign in 1908,
when the increase of wold had
brought the higher prices, forevery-
thing which Bryan had said could
only come through full stiver and
when Bryan had realized in his own
experience that an individual may
make more than fitly thousand dol.
Urs a year by so purely personal
a work as lecturing and writing in
th. 1908 campaign Bryan said, "No
man can malt, three million dollars
honestly."
LIQUOR CHARGES FILED
AGAINST PROPRIETOR
OF COLD DRINK STAND
Charges of possession of jntoxi-
cating liquor for th. purpose of

evening about T. o’clock when dep-
uty sheriffs raided hie establish-
ment known as the Southern Cafe

tion for several weeks and was

McLain and York on instructions
from Sheriff Fred Smith. A quart
of alcohol was seized by the offi-
eers and Yeary and a relative who
