MANAGER BRADY's LOSS.
Receives the News of the Death of
His Son in New York.

William A Brady, who managed the
six-day bicycle race in the Pavilion last
week, received the sad news yesterday
that his son, William A. Jr., aged 512
wears, had died of pneumonia.
During the whole time the races were in
progress the boy lay sick at the home on
West One Hundred and Twenty-third
street, New York, and while being irri
tated with the thousand and one worries
consequent upon the management of the
cycling carnival, down at the bottom of
his heart the fond father saw only the
little sufferer on his bed of pain. All
who came in contact with Mr. Brady were
convinced that something was worrying
him; he was absent minded and despond-
ent at times and was even accused by
some of having lost his skill man
ager and mismanaging the race.
But a few of his most intimate friends
knew the real cause of the trouble. Every
two hours, day and night, Geographic
message was handed to Mr.. Brady telling
of the condition of the boy he loved. The
dispatches were all encoura cling in char
acter. but Mr.. Brady more than suspected
hid the real truth to ease his mind and
this perhaps only added to his worry.
Now that the end has come many people
who wondered at the vague, unsatisfac-
tory answers given by him to questions of
greatest import will understand. 1t was a
case of body here and q mind thousands
of miles away by the bedside of little
sufferer.
AS soon as he had received the sad news
Mr.. Brady boarded the first train for the
East and is now speeding toward the
darkened sorrowful home

Hawley was no more buoyant and she
determined to remain with him that
night.
The next day they both arose and
Miss Burton proposed ride to the Cliff
House. She said after he agreed to go
that she would leave first, go to her
own home at 225 Fifth avenue and then
meet him. On leaving Miss Burton
paid for months rent She met Haw
ley near her home and with him went
to the Cliff House. The couple spent
several hours there and then began the
home journey.
Miss Burton again stopped at her
home and Hawley left her, with
premise to her that he would RETAIN
from HquCI. He came down town, and
his movements are lost until he met
his assailant. He did not keep his
promise. While he was receiving the
blow that gave him death Miss Burton
was counseling with her drunken
charges to regenerate themselves.
When her work was over she went to
the room that she and Hawley occu-
pied the night before. She remained
until yesterday morning and then left
to learn that Hawley had been assault
ed TO death.
This in outline is the story that Miss
Burton told last night to Detectives
Reynolds and Oman, who had worked
assiduously and we'll on the case all
day. AS soon as possible the woman
was taken to police headquarters. She
related her story of her association
with Hawley in tears and with evidence
Of the deepest distress. She explained
the presence of the blood-stained hand
kerchief in Hawley's room by saying
that Hawley's nose had bled profusely
on Saturday night and the handkerchief
had been used to stay the flow. Early
in the morning Miss Burton had gone
to police headquarters to ask for
valuable diamond ring that was in the
dead mans possession. She claimed
the ring as her own, but the police
would not give it to her.
Miss Burton was accompanied last
night by her brother. George Burton
Before they were allowed to go the
three boys who were witnesses Of the
assault were called into the room and
asked If George Burton answered the
description of the murderer. The boys
unanimously declared that Burton was
not the man. The police then permit
ted Burton and his sister to go. salts
fed that neither had anything to do
with the murder of the woman's con-
tract husband. The police will now
continue their search.

Mr. Thomas said that he could not re-

APPRECIATED BY THE
IOWA'S BRAVE CREW
CARTER DE HAVEN TO RE-
CHVE SAILOR TOGS.
The Clever Little Artist Won the
Hearts of the Battleship's
"Jackies."

Carter de Haven, the clever little
sketch artist who is adding further fame
to his name as an actor and dancer, has
won the hearts of the Iowa's crew. His
graceful steps tickled the fancy of the
brave aggregation from the famous war
ship and they attested their interest in
him on the evening they attended the
Orpheum in a body by encoring him Vo-
ciferousy.
The little fellow so charmed the blue
Jackets that they decided to show him
their appreciation in a more substantial
manner BY presenting him with neat lit
tie sailor suit to wear a token of their
kindly feelings. The following letter ex-
plains the proposed gift:
L. S. s. IOWA, San Francisco. Feb. is.
NV Dear Mrs. de Haven: The bearer, A.
c. Moore has kindly volunteered to call on you
to measure Carter for the sailor suit Mr.
CIharrette AMI 1 promised him last night a
gift and token of appreciation from the crew
of the battle ship Iowa.
If convenient will you kindly allow Mr.. Moore
10 take the measure and will endeavor to
have the suit ready for Carter when he visits
the ship with you and his sister Tuesday
afternoon? On behalf of the crew, and per-
sonally, l again venture to hope that we shall
see you and the children board on the after
noon specified. With regards and best wishes
from Mr.. Charlotte, myself and all the crew
to the children and yourself L remain, yours

Then Morehouse was given another
chance and he duplicated his success of
the afternoon and then the amendment
went to vote.
Leavitt's amendment adding the
word "ridicule" was adopted. Then
Curtin's amended amendment came up
and a roll call was demanded. The
amendment was carried by the follow
ing vote:

Before the meeting adjourned Leavitt
made a motion that all the bills re-
speeding the liberty of the press be
made a special order for tomorrow
evening, but the Senate had had
enough of oratory and refused to con-
slider the proposition.
The Works bill will come UP once
more off the file for third reading, and
then it is predicted that the Senators,
having had their fling, will vote it down
and so end the matter.
