WARD-BRADBURY SCANDAL.
The Hearing of the Case Postponed
Until Tomorrow Morning.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-When the
case against Mrs. John Bradbury of
Los Angeles and w. Russell Ward of
Santa Monica, charged with adultery,
was called in Judge Lows court to-
day the courtroom was crowded to suf-
location, but those who expected to
see Mrs. Bradbury were disappointed,
as she did not appear in person. Ward
however, was there, apparently less
concerned than anyone else. His at
tOrRey, after the arraignment, insisted
upon an immediate hearing, but the
prosecution not being ready to proceed,
the court set the matter for hearing on
Thursday morning.
Mrs. Banning, mother of Mrs. John
Bradbury, arrived here to-day, and at
once repaired to the Occidental Hotel,
where her daughter was in a state of
collapse. The meeting between mother
and daughter was naturally a most af-
fecting one, and after it both women
were hySterical. AS Mrs. Banning re-
quested the hotel officials to insure the
seclusion of herself and daughter for the
remainder of the day, it is not known
what, if any, plans have been arranged
for the future. 1t is believed now that
position, and that the criminal charge
now pending in Judge Lows court will
be dropped.

MUTINY AT WHITTIER.
Capt. Brady Roughly Handled by
BOYS Under His Cammand.

LOS ANGELES, July 6.-Captain
Bradys severe method of infiicting
punishment upon the male inmates of
the Whittier Reform School for trivial
offenses has caused mutiny in that in
stitution, and the Board of Trustees
has caused the removal of Brady and
also of Major Thompson. The lads
under Brady's command were punished
by being compelled to carry about the
yard for long periods, a log of wood,
weighing seventy pounds, and as they
have read in the newspapers the ac-
counts of the uprising at San Quentin
they determined to emulate the felons
of the State Prison.
To-day Captain Brady was attacked
and roughly handled by the boys They
refused to drill, to work, to study or
to obey any orders at all. They were
locked up and closely guarded, and that
is as far as the row has progressed.
Brady has been let out, and the boys
informed that their grievances will be
inquired into and an effort made to re-
dress them.
Major Thompson was dismissed by
the Board of Trustees for refusing to
arrest certain boys who were looked
upon as the ringleaders of the mutt
neers, giving as reason that it would
only cause more trouble, there really
being no recognized ringleaders To
prevent possible trouble tonight, the
school is guarded by forty men armed
with clubs and fire hose. They expect
to quickly quen any uprising.

Speaking of the vote in California last

had declared for free coinage, it was
naturally expected that the State would
give the electoral vote for that policy,
hut he found satisfaction in knowing
that his vote was larger than the party
had ever cast in this State before, and
was satisfied that in the next national
election California would be found ia
the right column.

THOMAS BLYTHEs ESTATE.
Mrs. HinckIey Likely to be Dispos-
sessed of the Property.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 6.-United
States Circuit Judge w. w. Morrow
rendered a decision in the famous
Blythe case this afternoon which was
in the nature of a surprise. He or
dered a decree entered in favor of the
English Blythes, as prayed for in their
cross-complaint, by default, and in his
findings made several rulings which are
an direct conflict with those Of the State
courts.
Among other things, it is held that
Florence Blythe was born an Ileglu-
mate child in 1873, when her progell-
tors were subjects of Great Britain II
IS further decreed that neither Flor
ence Blythe -Hinckey, John w. Blythe
nor Henry T. Blythe have any legal
claim to the property, and that their
claims are fraudulent
The next of kin to the late Thomas H.
Blythe are declared to be as follows:
Alexander and William Jones, James
Maudsley, Elizabeth Jacques, Robert
Dover. Hannah Monk, Jane Page,
James Blythe and Elizabeth B. Page
and George Page.
Under this ruling it is considered very
probable that Mrs. Florence Blythe
