MIAMI. inn. July nth—(AP).
William Jennings Bryan first be-
came interested in lt‘iorida affairs
25 years ago when he visited the
state during the Democratic state
convention. in which his cousin. W.
Jennings. was nominated for
overnor. He toured tile state with
- Mr. Jennings and made a. number
of public appearances.
During Mr. Jennings' term as
Governor. Mr. Bryan frequently
visited Tallahassee and spoke be-
fore the legislature. As a. colonel
in the Spanish-American war he
was stationed in Jacksonville and
his presence there further (‘t‘nlt'lllml
him to the state.
.. Mr. Brynn made ills~first visit to
Miami about fifteen years ago.
Shortly afterward he bought what
was then a modest priced property
and built the Villa, Serena. wh'cn
became his winter home for many
years.
Thousands have visited the home.
Mr. Bryan disposed of t is home
last year and purchased a more
modest residence in Cocoanut
Grove. l
One of the distinctive features of
life in Miami is the tourist bible
class of the First Presbyterian
church. which was taught by Mr.
Bryan. This was first begun in
1916 and was organized in the First
Presbyterian church.
When it was announced that Mr.
Bryan would conduct the class. peo-
ple flocked to the church. which
soon was inadequate for the larlge
gatherings. Permission was grantgd
by city commissioners to conduct
the class in the Royal Palm Park
0nd each season from December to
. May this famous class every Sunday
morning is held.
- It has been estimated at various
times that the average attendance
' was more than 4.000. As many as
2.000 have filled the park to hear
Zhe great Commoner.
I The Reverend Willis 0. Garett.
fpsstor of the First Presbyterian
'church. stated that Mr. Bryan's in-
fluence through this class was
reater than that of any other min-
ster in Miami.
" That the accumulation of wealth
in his later years became a prob-
‘Icin to Mr. Bryan has been revealed
at various times.
: The Reverend Mr. Garett. who
was intimately acquainted with Mr.
Bryan. tells of a visit of the Com-
moner to his study last year.
2 Mr. Bryan spoke confidentially to
Mr. Garett in regard to his wealth
find it was evident that he treated
the subject as a problem of some
”mom.
'5 Mr.-Garett said of Mr. Bryan:
; "He had spoken to me at various
times about retiring from public
work. He wanted to write his me-
moirs. he said. Mr. Bryan could
not detach himself from the people.
Always a servant of the masees he
came to the point where he became
their slave. '
“I think it extremely unfortunate
that Mr. Bryan should pass from
the world before he wrote his me-
moirs. He had a brilliant mind and
a brilliant memory. and“"e me-
moirs that he would has vrlttcn
would have been of priceless value
to the present and coming genera-
tions.
“Mr. Bryan was a ruling cider of
the First Presbyterian church. He
was elected to that office five years
ago. Suspending prevailing rules.
the congregation made him a ruling
elder for life. not merely to honor
him. bllt because of his relationship
to the‘Prcsbyterlan church and the
cause of religion throughout the
country." \
Rain Causes Heav

“'A'I'I'JIKIIURY. July 28 (AP).—
The heavy rain. which accompanied‘
yesterday morning's electrical storm
added to the damage done the city's
streets by last Wednesday's cloud-
burst. It lynched oft? top dressing
which had been replaced on several
of the hilly streets and made deeper
and longer holes in sidewalks caused
by last week's cloudburst. Superin-
dent of Streets William E. Kennedy
has asked for $65.000 to repair the
damage caused by both storms.

Back of the discovery of an in-

of a fashionable hatter's shop in
London. who made it possible for
Dr. William E. Wart Gye to see

remained invisible through all the

For thirty years Berna has spent
half a day in the hat business to
earn money to enable him to give
