MAY CALL BRYAN IN
LA F0LLETTE INQUIRY
Light Sought on Circumstances
of Resignation From
Cabinet
By a Staff Corrttpondtnt
WASHINGTON'. Oct. 9
Interesting but hitherto undisclosed cir
cumstances connected with the resignation
of William Jennings llryan from tho port
folio of Secretary of Stato In tho Wilson
Cabinet may como to light through the
processes of tho senatorial Inquiry Into tho
loyalty of Itobcrt M. I,a Follettc, Senator
from Wisconsin.
Tho entire Inquiry, under the terms of
the resolution ndoptcd by the Committee
on Privileges and Klectlons, concerns the
speech made by Senator I,a Kolletto before
tho Nonpartisan League at St. Paul., Mlnid,
on September 20. After determining the
accuracy of. tho quoted portions of tho ad
dress, the subcommittee must look Into tho
statements of fact set forth In the speech
One of these statements of fact alleged by
La Toilette Is that Mr. Uryan, while Sec
retary of Stato, warned President Wilson
that largo quantities of ammunition wcro
on board the Lusltnnla and urged him to
prohibit the vessel from sailing with Amer
icans on board.
Mr. Uryan himself has denied the state
ment, and the committee is of a mind to
accept tills denial without further to do.
saving, perhaps, a request of Mr. Uryan
that ho repeat the denial In writing In
older that It may ho made n pan of tho
record. Whether Senutor La I-'ollctto will
accept It without further question, however,
cannot at this time bo said. He Is keep
ing his own counsel about the entire In
vestigation, but reports are persistent that
he will Insist not only on having Mr. Ur.vun
summoned In person before the committee
and on questioning hhn. but on having i co
ords of the Stale Dcpaitment submitted In
evidence.
There are Indication, to be sure, that the
committee will debar him from too deep a
delving Into matters the publication of
which might not be compatible with the
country's Interests, but nd one denies that
l.a Kollettc Is lesouiceful and may have
othci means he will employ to bring to light
the origin nnd circumstances of Mr. Urjan's
retirement from the Cabinet.
t'nquestlouabl theie nie many uncut
leaves In the stor of that break, that are
not contained In the published corresponu
ence between the 1'rcldent nnd Mr. Brvaii
Prom this coirespondencc it appears) that
Mr. Uryan did not consider the Lusltanla
sinking cause for war, but did think that
the Government In the Interest of the main
tenance of peace should piohlblt Americans
from traveling: on belligerent ships carrying
munitions. Hegardlng the La Kollettc speech,
.Mr. Urjan has only denied that he line
befoieliuiul that the Lusltanla carried muni
tions and warned the Piesldent not to let
her sail.
That the President and Mr. Bo an dif
feied subsequently ns to the light of Amei.
cans to travel on munlllon-lAden belligerent
ships Is Kell known, although Mr. Br.van
based his view on moral rithcr than tech
nical giounds. Behind nil this, however. Is
undoubtedl a mine of Information concern
ing the pacifist activities of the former
Secretary of State, whose zealousness i.i
behalf of peace caused him ever and again
unwittingly to ombauass the elforts of the
President to force upon Germany nnd
Austria a realization of the fnct that
America wos tiuly resentful of their vio
lations of neutral lights.
Should .Senator La Kollctte, for example.
Insist upon Inquiring Intc tho precise clr
cumstances of that heart-to-heart chat be
tween Mr. Br.van and Dr. Constnntln
Dumuu, It Is probable that Intel csting
angles of the Interview, hitherto cast in
n shadow, might come to light. As generally
understood. Secretary Bryan at this Inter
view, which took place during one of the
most ncute stages of the submarine con
troversy, assured Doctor Dumb.i that the
sharp language used by the United States
In Its protests was' pilncipally for "home
consumption," and that the American Gov
ernment did not actually mean what Its
threats Indicated. Subsequently Doctor
Duinba, who duly reported this conversa
tion to his Government and to Count von
Bernstorff, tho German Ambassador here,
was recalled nt the request of the United
States Government for having conspired
to blow up factories In this countrj making
arms and ammunitions for tho Allies.

Following American Ice Co.
Tho new Kederal fuel headquarters of
Stato Kuel Administrator William Potter
will be located In the heart of tho city,
In tho neighborhood of Broad and Chestnut,
and will bo opened this week, It was posi
tively stated today.
Up to date It has taken most of Mr.
Potter's time keeping appointments here and
In Washington, In addition to digesting the
mass of data Involved In the gigantic tnsk
confronting him. a task to which he brings
only the broadest administrative experience,
no special previous coal knowledge.
But after this week he may be confi
dently looked for presiding In hW new of
fices, where all coal abuses, grievances,
ratc-fKlngs, suggestions In fact, coal prob.
lems of every sort may bo brought to him.
If It Is furl that Is going to win the war,
it Is equally the cltlrciis who must help
to win It. Coal conservation In the Indivi
dual cellar Is said lo be the keynote- of
Mr. Potters campaign, which will bring
him very close to the heaits of the people,
through the mot direct path, their pocket
books. If his well-known policy In the conduct
of his own business be taken ns example,
Mr. Potter will be easy of access. No ono
who Fecks him on coal business1 will be
turned awa.v.
Philadelphia coal dealers are rushing
plans to adjust their new price schedules
in accordance with instruction received
from Doctor Gai field. National Kuel Ad
ministrator. Lfforts also nrc being made
by members or the Coal Exchange to deter
inlmio a schedule of prices that will con

allow a fair profit.
While the American loo and Coal Com

effect a new schedule chowing reductions
of from "0 to 75 centi on various slr.es of
anthracite, several other dealeis Bald they
were not ready as cl to announce new

question of a day or two beforo these would
be adjusted.
Georgo W. Kdmonds. a coal merchant,
said-
"I understand every effort Is being mado
on the pait of the vaiious members of the
Coal Lxchange to determine at what prices
the several grades of coal may be fixed
so as to allow the dealers sufllclent profit to

the rules set by Doctor Garfield. The work
Involves the serious study of a mass of
