TRYING TO STAVE OFF DISCUSSION [Continued From First Page.] tlie Steel Pier yesterday afternoon, William Jennings Bryan declared that ' the day is not far distant when one, and even both, of the great political parties will find it advisable to come out on the side of national prohibition. He said he was proud to say that 10 of the 18 States which are already "dry" have been accustomed to "go Demo cratic at every election." The meeting, which was held in con nection with the rPesbyterian General Assembly, under the auspices of the Board of Temperance, attracted an audience that filled the big auditorium to its capacity. "Our political parties cannot much longer avoid this issue," Mr. Bryan said after telling his hearers that within a few years a majority of the States will prohibit the saloon. "And when one party adopts this platform the other will have to adopt it for self-preservation. I want to tell you Republicans that the day is past when a man has to be a drunkard to be a Democrat. Xow, suppose the Demo crats drive out the drunks: where will they go? They will go into the Re publican party. Then the Republican party will get all the bad men, and heaven knows they have enough bad men now." Shouts of laughter greeted this re mark. "But suppose the Republicans take the siep first, and get rid of all of their bad men. In that case the bad men would go Into the Democratic par ty, and. confidentially, my friends, we haven't room for any more." After the laughter which greeted this statement had subsided. Mr. Bryan continued: "The time has come for both parties 1 to get rid of a mercenary group that j has no party and no allegiance, and is 1 concerned only in warding off legisla- j tion that prohibits the sale of alcoholic beverages, which traffic brings great evils upon mankind. When both par ties get rid of this selfish group, then politics will he lifted to a higher plane, and both can enter into an : honorable rivalry for supremacy in administering the government of this ! great nation." Kcored Bad Mon Mr. Bryan dwelt also upon woman | suffrage, tippling Presbyterian elders, the "bad men" in both the Republi can and Democratic parties, the duty of the United States to intermediate between the warring nations and urg ed all Christians to sign the pledge. The impression his afternoon's address j l°ft upon a majority of his hearer was that if the Prohibition party "threw | down the handkerchief" he might be induced to pick it up after the fiist of Novi in her. Mr. Bryan told of four pictures ho had seen in his travels; the first, Bo denhauscn's Madonna, typifying fem- 1 inlsm and suffrage; the second, Hoven- j den's "Breaking Home Ties." as a rending illustration of the evils of in temperance; the third, a picture he had seen in his foreign travels, "The Apotheosis of War," as a plea for peace between the nations, with the United States in the function of ref eree. The fourth. Munkacsy's "Christ Before Pilate" was taken by the cus- ' todian of the peace dovecote to typify the passive manifestations of Chris tianity, eventually triumphing over pagan force and authority. Possibility of Union of Methodists Draws Nearer By Associated Press Saratoga Springs, X. v.. May 22. —I The possibility of the union of all Methodism was brought two years! nearer 10-da.v by the action of the General Conference, which unanim ously adopted a resolution providing ; for adjournment to a date to be fixed by ttie board of bishops. This will permit a meeting of the ; conference in 1918 at the same time the conference of the Southern church ' is considering a joint proposal de signed to effect the unity of these and other branches of t lie Methodist church. The conference which j usually meets every four years, j cleared away every technicality in the! way of such a procedure after the j committee on judiciary had reported i that such action was in conformity j with the rules of the church. The conference voted to postpone i indefinitely the direction of a mission- ! ary bishop for Singapore. This was! requested by delegates from Indiana ■ and Southern Asia, who seek a reas signment of territory under the exist-; ins missionary bishops. The first ballot for missionary bishops for Africa, one of whom is to j be of African descent, for supervision of Liberia, resulted in no choice fop •either bishop. For the territory out-: side of Liberia the leaders were Ebon ; S. Johnson, Slous City, lowa. 297; James E. Orowther. New York, 216.; For missionary bishop of Liberia.; Alexander P. Camphor, of Birming ham. Ala., lacked 72 votes. Practlc- j ally all of the other candidates with drew and his election apparently was assured on the next ballot. MOTJKHATOR 22N!> GRADUATF. OF W.

T K^MMXI BETTER TOBACCO MADE TH^SI«W| ' IIMIIII 11111111 HARRISBURG *&&&£ TELEGRAPH INSANITY TO BE PLEA OF WAITE [Continued From First Pago.] ! fessed the deed, the prosecution be lieves that the defense will rely upon a plea of Insanity. To combat this testimony the State has engaged three medical experts and summoned 115 witnesses who knew the defendant at i different periods of his career, many testifying that his behavior In their presence had shown no signs of men tal abnormality. The defense has summoned one alienist. Jury Rapidly Selected i The .task of selecting a jurv was completed shortly before 1.30 o'clock to-day. The twelfth juror was in the box three hours after the first tales man was examined. Seldom has a trial of the kind moved so rapidly, it was said. Waite himself appeared as calm as any of the spectators who crowded into the historic courtroom wherein Harry K. Thaw, Police Lieutenant j Charles Becker, the four gunmen im plicated in the Becker case and other noted prisoners stood trial for their j lives. Wife and "Studio" Pn! Probably the most interesting fig ures at the trial, however, next to the prisoner himself, will be his wife, Mrs. Clare Peck Waite, and Mrs. Mar garet Horton, a young New York singer with whom Waite occupied at times a "studio" at an uptown hotel. Altogether the State has subpenaed 115 witnesses. Extra panels of 250 talesmen have been summoned, and it may be a day or two before a Jury is selected. Mr. Peck, the alleged murder victim and his wife came to New York short ly after Christmas of last year to visit their daughter and son-in-law. The second week in January Mrs. Peck be came ill and on January 30 she died in the WaitVs apartment. At Walte's j suggestion her body was taken to De troit and cremated. Because of this fact the prosecution sought an in dictment against the son-in-law only jin connection with the death of Mr. ! Peck which took place March 12. The j very day he was to be buried at Grar.d Rapids his son, Percy S. Peck | received from New York the follow j ing telegram: "Suspicion aroused. Demand au topsy. Examine body. (Signed) "K. ADAMS." 1 The identity of "K Adams" has not j been revealed, but it is expected that il will come out. during the trial. The ! telegram had the effect of starting an investigation which showed that Mr. I Peck had been poisoned. Waite's ar rest followed shortly. He confessed that he had administered poison to .both Mr. and Mrs. Peck. The death of the former was attributed to ar senic. Walte Kilters Court Waite, clean shaven and neatly dressed In a blue suit, was brought into the courtroom a few minutes after the arrival of Percy Peck, his brother-in-law and the latter's wife. j The prisoner occupied a seat between | his attorneys, Walter n. Deuel and Joseph F. Crater. Mrs. Clara Louise Peck Waite, wife of the accused man, : who, it was announced would be a j witness agairist him, was not in court. A crowd was gathered about the! Criminal Courts building, but owing j to an extra panel of talesmen and the j large number of witnesses few per- j sons not connected with the case were admitted to the courtroom.
