Rumor, Apparently Authentic, Says Candidate Told His Friend a Year Ago Latter Would Be Secretary of State In Event of Former's Election to Presidency. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, Jan. ?A. Special. Wore than a year ago, according to Information bearing marks of authen ticity, Governor Wilson Bent a friend to William J. Bryan to say that In case the governor should be In a posi tion to offer the place he would like to have Bryan for secretary of state. Of course it may be denied, but there is reason to believe that for a long time there has been an understanding between Wilson and Bryan about the highest placo in the cabinet. The fact that Governor Wilson does not discuss either Mr. Bryan or the position of secretary of state with his visitors indicates that such is the fact. Would Waive Place For Friend. In connection with Mr. Bryan's re lations to the new administration it is further reported that ho would waive his own claims to a cabinet position If by so doing ho could secure for Georgo Fred Williams of Massachu setts, who has for twenty years been an ardent Bryan admirer, the post of attorney general. Williams might bo considered a possibility if it were not for the fact that he has the letter writ ing habit. Last summer ho wrote to R. P. Pet tigrew, one of Champ Clark's man ngers, a letter, in which he reviewed the entire record of Woodrow Wilson on various labor questions in critical form. Hundreds of thousands of copies of this letter were sent broad cast over the country to influence workingmen and foreigners to help Clark beat AVllson. With copies of that letter everywhere about, it is not expected that Wilson will make Wil liams attorney general. Dining an Old "Bad" Man. What are those constituents going to say to members of the house of repre sentatives who. regardless of party, have gone forth to give a dinner in which to glorify that "bad" man, that "czar," that awful specter with which the Democrats elected them selves to power in the house of rep resentative? The most active men in this movement to honor Cannon are Democrats, many of them who howl ed "Cannonism" on the stump two years ago. Old Uncle Joe. As n matter of fact, these Demo crats who denounced him so much aro really very fond of old Undo Joe. Laying aside partisan politics, they know Cannon to be an honest man, do ing the best he can for the country as ho sees the way. After his thirty eight years of service in the house no one can breathe n slander of any kind against him. IIo has a record of which lie may well bo proud. And he goes out of ofllce with the honor and re spect of most of his associates in both parties. Cannon's Enemies. The enemies of Cannon are found among those Republicans who could not agree with him. Old members, those in authority, have always been impatient with those men of their par ty who disregarded party councils and refused to nccept caucus instruction. Cannon created an insurgency because ho could not tolerate the independence and progressive views of the Murdocks, the Norrises, tho Lindberghs, the Len roots, tho Coopers and others who pre ferred to heed tho voice of their con stituents rather than to remain "reg ular" under the house leaders. A Massachusetts Bill. Lodge in tho senate and Gardner in the house, both of Massachusetts, were conferees on tho immigration bill. So Massachusetts may claim a large share of the measure. More than that, it was a family affair, for Gardner is Lodge's son-in-law. Both of these men have always been earnest advocates of restrictive Immigration. And this is ono case where Massachusetts and tho South agree. Pushed by Page. If some sort of an agricultural educa tional bill is not passed at this session it will not bo tho fault of Senator Page. The Vermont sonator has been giving ids best efforts to getting action, and lie hopes for success, even if it is to ward tho eleventh hour for all legis lative measures. Mrs. Littleton Confident. Mrs. Martin Littleton whirled up to the capitol in a taxlcnb. Sho got out from among stacks of mail, mostly pe titions to congress asking that Monti r ello bo taken over by the government "Just look at them!" sho said. "They keep coming like that every day and by every mail. Oh, no; I'm not going to give up tho fight. I'm going to win It. Wo have it already won." Mrs. Littleton has tho advantago of being a very handsome woman, which helps mightily in a contest of this kind. The male animal in congress does not differ from tho species elsewhere. A CHARITABLE WORK There is a national organization In this country which distributed nearly a million new garments to needy human beings last year and yet so quietly and unostentatiously was this great work accomplished that there are thousands of people who have never even heard of Tho Needlework Guild of America. It was organized In Philadelphia In 1885, and incor porated in June of 1S9G. It owes its origin to an English noblewoman who was fostor-mothor to hundreds of orphans in an institution which sho had founded and who conceived this unique and practical way of providing 'for her wards. Every charlta'bly disposed person within her reach was asked to contribute two garments a year to help clothe these needy little ones. In 1885 an American lady traveling in England came In touch with this practical charity and brought the idea home to this country. Her niece became the founder of the American organi zation through influencing a few of her friends in the work. From this small 'beginning has sprung the national body which governs branches throughout tho whole United States and is constantly ex tending its work. Branches in Thirty-Six States. Tho Needlework Guild now has a'bout three hundred and fifty branches in thirty-six states. Each hranch controls Its own work, hut the national 'body is affiliated offi cially with the American Red Cross sotaiety and that organization has agreed to act as a distributing agent for all the contributions donated by all of the branches of the Guild for the special relief work of any great national disaster. The Guild is also affiliated with tho General Federa tion of Women's Clubs and is en titled to representation in its meet ings. The object of tho Guild is to col lect and distribute now garments to hospitals, homes and other charitable Institutions, and to extend its use fulness by the organization of other branches. Tho garments are collect ed from the members of the Guild, the contribution of two new gar ments each year or a donation of money no amount specified con stituting the qualification for mem bership. While It is considered a woman's organization, the many men who belong usually contribute money instead of garments. There is no special requirement regarding the quality of the garments furnished, other than that they bo new. Pre ferably they should bo plain, and there is a greater demand for warm garments than for thin ones. Arti cles of fancy lingerie aro of compara tively little use. Stress Is laid al ways upon the word, "new," as there are always many agencies to handle the partly worn garments. The Guild by Its charter cannot ac cept them. The effect of new substantial cloth ing upon a person made suddenly destitute by sickness or other cause Is that of moral uplift rather than pauperization. There are thousands of people who 'pass each year through the medical and charitable institu tions of this country most of whom aro insufficiently clad and these in stitutions rarely have the means at hand to supply that lack. For in stance, when children are brought to tho Children s Aid society, it is sel dom that they have sufficient cloth ing. More frequently that which they have is in such condition that it has to be burned. Hundreds of consumptives, under outdoor treat ment, are unable to provide them selves with the warm clothing essen tial to their recovery. The majority of day nurseries require additional clothing for the little ones in their care, while the rescue work for men and women, the Seamen's aid, the Society for Discharged Prisoners and numberless other organizations are in constant need of garments which their own resources do not supply. Helps tho Hospitals. Perhaps the greatest work done by the Guild is in tho supply of gar ments to the hospitals. A member once went to a large and well-cared for hospital and asked to seo a pa tient admitted. Presently the sound of the ambulance hell announced the coming of a man who had been in jured In the machinery of a large factory. Before he was taken into the ward, he had been prepared for bed and on the stretcher bearing his covered form was his hat bearing his name and tho number of his hed. It was tho only article of his clothing which was fit to keep. Yot the man would have had nothing to wear when ho was discharged and the hos pitals had no available means of sup plying him. It does not make any difference how tho garments are secured by the members so that they aro now and suitable. Many of tho sewing clubs of similar character require the mem bers to make the articles donated, but members of the Guild can pur chase them If preferred, although the joy of sacrificing one's own leisure to do work which will give comfort to some less fortunate human being is sufficient to make hundreds of women spend their time In making garments for the Guild. Tho gener ous English woman who founded tho work in that country took for her rule, "Always have a pieco of Guild work on hand and at hand." Queen Mary of England, who was ono of the strong patronesses of tho organiza tion, used to make as many as sixty little crocheted woolen garments each year. When asked how she managed to accomplish so much, she said: "I always have one of the lit tle petticoats on hand in each of ray sitting rooms and I take It up whenever I have a 'few minutes to spare." Tho Guild has fewer formalities than most organizations. Tho offi cers consist of a president, vice president, secretary and treasurer of each town branch, under' whom the directors work. Any ono may bo a director by becoming responsi ble for twenty-two now garments and on cash contribution a year. That Is, in addition to her two gar ments, she must eccure ten other members who will give garments and one who -will contribute money. There is an annual collection of garments, each director securing MAKJORIE MURRY AS "BUNTY" IX "BUNTY PULLS THE STRINGS" AT THE LYRIC ON WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 2l)TH.

There Is only ono house vacant In that village and it Is one of the best built, nouses, there, too. It con tains eight rooms and is a store and dwelling combined. Can be used for two families. Tho property Is lo cated In tho center of the town and is directly opposite tho postoffice. It would make an Ideal place for al most any kind of business.

Mrs. A. C. Taintor, Colchester, Conn., writes that a free sample bottle of Bloodlne helped her when she was all run down. Bloodlne is a body builder and system tonic of wonderful merit, and If you have not tried it, you should to-day. The greatest system Tonic in the world. Sick kidneys are positively cured by Bloodlne. those from her own 'members, and in tho Fall or early Winter there is the annual meeting at which the officers for tho year are elected by the votes of tho directors and the garments collected are 'distributed to tho vari ous organizations or institutons to which they have been assigned. Expenses Very Light. The expenses of the Guild are not heavy and consist chiefly in station ery and postage for the secretary's correspondence, the cost of a room if ono cannot be obtained free, ex pressago, wrapping paper, etc., for sending out 'packages, and the print ing of the local report if deemed necessary. There are no salaried of ficers and the average of one money contribution in ten is usually about sufficient to cover these needs. Each branch is supposed to reserve from the money collected from the money members sufficient to defray its own expenses. It sends the remainder to the national treasury to be used for Guild extension and the support of the national work. Littlo Girls Help. It frequently happens that thos. who have least to give themselves aro most generous in their efforts. One poor old lady In a western town sent twelve little patchwork quilts for children's beds as their contrib ution. They represented many hours of painstaking toil. In a Young Women s Christian association a di rector one year secured over three hundred garments from a group of young girls who were able to do lit tle more than support themselves. The director happened to mention that there was an orphan asylum in the city which specially desired eat ing bibs for tho smaller children. Acting upon the suggestion, one young seamstress tolled a good many evenings making bibs by hemming squares of cotton cloth that were furnished her. A semi-circle cut out at tho top was- bound with tape with long ends left to tie. She made twenty-five of these simple little garments in tho evenings of a hot Summer, thereby greatly aiding the matron of the local orphan asylum in keeping her young charges in order. Other girls made little sacques of outing flannel for Infants and small children some simple littlo frocks and other garments. Sometimes a woman charitably disposed is able to collect enough garments during her Summer vaca tion to 'make her a director. Pleas ant porch parties can be employed in the making of garments for the poor if the proper start be given them. Thero is always a demand for warm knitted articles and many of these are easily made at odd moments if the example of Queen Mary is follow ed. But, while the desirability of doing personal work for the poor Is Indisputable, thero are hundreds of women who find they havo not time to put in a single stitch. For these the ready-made garments sold in such iprofuslon everywhere are more easily obtainable, and, whilo tho more expensive large woolon gar ments aro In greatest need, the small est articles of apparel will be readily accepted. It Is desired, however, that the garments are all given in pairs of like quality and size, as where a single garment is given an extra one to provide for changing is almost essontial to its usefulness. Any woman who lives in a town where there is no branch of the Needlework Guild can readily secure full directions for organizing one by addressing the national office, which is located at 1710 Chestnut street, Philadelphia.

Fruit Grower Makes Artificial Winter to Prevent Orchard Blooming. What is said to be probably the first case on record of providing an arti ficial winter for fruit trees was prac ticed on the orchard of W. F. Thomas, between Hagerstown and Hancock, Md., to-day. Mr. Thomas, a resident of this city, owns an orchard of 6000 apple trees that are four years old. They are not yet old enough to bear fruit, but the unseasonable weather has coaxed out the buds so that there is danger of the whole lot blossoming. If they did this and a later frost should catch them the wood would be largely killed, so that Mr. Thomas consulted with the Department of Agriculture as to tho best way of discouraging the trees from bloom ing. Following their advice ho shipped 100 tons of ice to the orchard. This will be broken up and applied to the, roots of the trees in the hope of chilling them, preventing the sap rising and thereby keep them from blooming. COMMON TOWEL MUST GO. Washington. Having Iruled ilast fall against the common drinking cup as a carrier of disease on trains and In stations operated by railroad companies engaged In Interstate com merce, the Secretary of the Treasury last week further amended the in terstate quarantine regulations so as to bar the towel from common use.
