Ex-senator Brown Shot.

Arthur Brown, formerly United
States Senator from Utah. was shot
and very seriously wounded Saturday
in his room in the Raleigh hotel by
Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, of Salt Lake
City. The latter is a woman of attrac-
tive appearance and formerly was very
prominently connected with the Utah
state federation of women's clubs.
The cause of the affair dates back
several years and involves one of the
most sensational cases the state of
Utah has ever known. The principals
were Mrs. Bradley and Senator Brown.
He was acquitted, but Mrs. Bradley
pleaded guilty to a charge of illegal in
timacy with Brown. Sentence was sus-
pended. Mr. Bradley, husband of the
woman, secured divorce and is now
in Nevada.
According TO statements made by
residents of Salt Lake and by people
who know both Brown and Mrs. Brad
ley, their relations have been motor.
ious.
Mrs. Bradley said that she has four
children, two by her husband and two
by Brown. She told the police that she
came to Washington expecting to mar.
ry Brown. 1t is evident that he refused
to follow this plan and the shooting re
suited.

BIRD TRAVELS WITH GIRAFFE
Red Billed Weaver Constant Compan-
ion of Animal Skyscraper.

The red-billed weaver bird is a con-
slant companion of the giraffe, perch
ing itself upon the withers and flying
along when It's host takes to fight,
and Immediately alighting again on
it's back at the first opportunity. The
only means of defense or offense by
the giraffe is by means of it's hoofs,
and the blows it can deliver by kick
ing are of tremendous power. The
old males during the breeding season
fight in this manner good deal, and
the female employs the same means
in defending her young against car
nivorous animals.
CRATES are very swift of foot, and
1t requires a very fleet horse to run
them down. Experienced hunters,
however, charge them at full speed,
and by this means are often able to
run into them, and if the giraffes are
fat they will soon become blown"
When running, the tail is twisted in
corkscrew fashion over the back and
the hind legs at each step are thrown
on the outside of the forelegs, giving
very grotesque straddling appear
ance. The giraffe is mute, but he has
very keen sense of hearing and Of
smell.

JAPOPHOBIA.
caIifornians Wild Over Presidents
Plain Talk.

President Roosevelt has stirred q
storm In California, which Is felt from
end to end along the Pacific coast, by
the statements in his message on the
Japanese. Among the masses of the
people, and particularly among the la
Dor unions, the most bitter feeling has
been aroused, and il is predicted free
ly that, unless something intervenes to
change the sentiment. he has driven
California, If not the entire Pacific
coast, from the Republican ranks. The
newspapers are very bitter in their
criticisms, especially so the Chronicle.
The president is excoriated for his
threat to use troops, and he openly is
charged with deliberately misstating
the position taken by the authorities of
San Francisco and the state.
Hints are openly given that such ac-
ton would result in attempts to inn
peach Mr.. Roosevelt. Charges arc
made that he is unfair, even untruth-
ful, in his message statements in ref
ereIce to the situation in San Francis
co.
1t is declared by President Altman.
OF the San Francisco board of educa-
ton, that no matter what action 10
taken in the courts in reference to Cal
ifornia's separate school law, even If
It is declared unconstitutional the
board will not recede from its stand in
barring japanese students from white

A New Sleeping Car Story.

Among the railroad visitors in town
yesterday was f. A. Miller, general
passenger agent of the Chicago, Mil.
waukee & st. Paul Railway. He Wis.
tied all of the general Offices in town
and at the Hollenden Hotel yesterday
told story of one of the sleeping car
porters who was recently found
asleep while on duty. This is con.
trary to the rules of The st. Paul
Road, and the negro man was in
trouble when found by the inspector
on The Pioneer Limited. He had his
wits about him, however, and in re-
spouse to the inspectors inquiry as
to what he was doing asleep, he said:
"I'll tell you how it was, boss.
have only been with the company a
short time and before coming here
was working on such and such a
railroad. The line was so rough that
I could not get any sleep. Since
have been working for the The St
Paul the road has been so smooth
that just could not keep awake
Mr.. Miller says that while the ne
gro had violated the rules, he was
permitted to keep his job on account

How School Money Goes.

The department of public instruction
is getting after more school district of
ficers who do not comply with the law.
The efforts of the department to protect
the primary school funds are not spor-
adic but are directed to all the dis
trio+~ 'vhO~o there are irregularities.
Chief Clerk A. Hamlin Smith and
A -..0ruey General Thomas A.
Lawler have visited Lake county,
where peculiar conditions have exist
ed. In district No. of Elk township
there has been a district quarrel of
long standing.
Two sets Of officers claimed the
right to conduct the affairs of the
district and each maintained q school.
The old officers had possession of the
funds and spent them to hire teach
er. A court finally decided that the new
officers had a legal right to control
the district and rendered a judgment
against the old officers for $171 which
had been spent by them unlawfully.
Although nearly two years have
elapsed since the decree of the court
the money has not been paid over and
the states officers have obtained the
promissory notes Of the old officers for
the amount due.
In district No. of Dover township

tiles of the officers were investigated

Scheme Worked Out Badly.

Congressman Sulzer represents n
densely populated district on the East
side of New York city. 1t occurred to
him some months ago that though
there are no gardens In his district
some Of his constituents might grow
plants in boxes placed on window
stills or fire escapes, SO he sent an as
sortment Of seed to the inmate of a
model tenement house owned by one
Of his friends. The latter met him
a few days ago and said: See here,
Sulzer, want you to cut out that seed
business. It's the limit" Why,
what's the matter?' asked the aston.
ished Sulzer, and he explained why he
had sent the seeds. "Oh, you meant
we'll, all right" returned the friend,
scornfully, "but when l visited the
place the other day l found that about
ten families were raising cabbage, GU
cumbers and tomatoes in the bath
tubs"

FILING UP THE CANADIAN WEST,
he American Settler ls Welcomed
to Canada.

A number of the leading newspa,
ers on this side of the line have been
.oticing the growth of the Canadian
West in recent years, and draw atten-
lion to the fact that there seems to be
20 abatement of the influx of settlers
O that great grain-growing country.
che Buffalo Express thus refers to the
subject:
Canada West continues to grow.
There were ALA homesteads entries
here in July of this year, as against
3,571 in July, 1905. Canada plumes
herself over this fact, with becoming
pride. But what appears to make our
neighbors happiest is the statement
that of these AHA homesteaders,
1,212 were from this side of the line.
Little is said about the 81 Canadians
who recrossed The border to take up
homes in Canada West, or of the sos
from Great Britain, or of the 1926
from non-British countries. 1t ap-
pears that the item in this July report
that makes Canada rejoice most is
this of the 1912 American farmers
who decided to try their fortunes in
Canada West.
The compliment is deserved. The
1912 were mostly from Dakota and
other farming states, and go into
Canada fitted better than any other
class of immigrants for developing the
new country. They take capital with
them, too, say Canadian papers proud
ly. In every way, they are welcome
over there"
AS the Express we'll says, the
American is welcomed to Canada, and
the reasons given are sufficient to in
vite the welcome. The American
farmer knows thoroughly the farming
conditions that prevail in the Cana
dian prairie provinces, and is aware
of every phase Of agricultural devel-
opment in recent years.
In practical knowledge of what Is
wanted to get the largest return for
labor and investment he Is by long
odds superior to any European set
tier. He knews what is required to
bring success, and he is able and will
ing to do it, and his future causes no
apprehension to the successful Cana
dian farmer The agent Of the Cana
dian Government, whose address ap-
pears elsewhere, says that the differ
ence between the manners and GUS
toms of the farmer from Dakota, Ore
gon or Minnesota and the farmer from
Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta
Is not nearly so marked as that be-
tween the farmer of the Maritime
provinces and the Ontario tiller of the
soil. Hence the welcome to the free
homesteads OF the Canadian West,
and there are hundreds of thousands
Of them left, that is extended to the
settler from the Western States.

JOUR- COAST
DEFENSE
NOW CALIFORNIA WANTS SOME
APPROPRIATIONS FOR
DEFENSE.
EVIDENT FEAR OF JAPAN
The Philippines Also Would Be Easy
Game for the Mikado's Little Fight
ers-A Chance for Millions.
Prepare for War.

Congressman from California are ap'
pealing TO the war department and to
their fellow legislators from other
states for the defense of San Francis
co, and III general the Pacific coast,
against attack in case of possible hos
tilities with Japan.
1t has developed that the general
staff is working secretly on a compre.
hensive plan OF improved defense with
the result that congress will be strong
ly urged at an early time to take fav-
orable action upon the report of the
Taft board on coast defense, which
was submitted to it By them last
March.
The principal worry of the officials
just now is the total lack of defense of
the Philippines, and the ease with
which an army could be landed by a
formidable power in those islands.
There is not q mounted gun or an ar
tilleryman in all of the Pacific insular
possessions-th Philippines, Guam or
the Hawaiian islands.
The weakest point on the coast is
the Puget sound region, the board esti-
mating that il would require $5,000,000
tc complete its defense. 1t recommends
the mounting Of seven 14-inch guns
guns Of entirely new caliber, and the
biggest guns ever mounted. Guns of
this size are needed, it is held, because
of the broadness of the sound.
The board recommends the strength
ening of defenses at San Francisco to
the cost of 100000, and recommend
ed the expenditure of 100000 on de-
Tense of the Columbia river
The artillery officials will recon-
mend the right to increase the corps
from $4,000 men to $4,000, and still
larger number would be necessary to
man all the forts recommended for all
the insular possessions, as well as on
thte gulf and Atlantic coast.
The board recommends that $685.
100000 be appropriated by congress for
defense of the Philippines and other
islands in the Pacific and the Panama
canal.

Prison work.

Attorney General Bird has given an
opinion that it is unlawful to teach
the trades of cigarmaking, broom max

situations of the state. He was guided
by a recent decision of the supreme
court, holding that constitution
prohibits teaching a >mechan-
zeal Gsde eAep~--eA11, yhich--the
largest portion of the product is not
manufactured in the state. Work of the
kind designated will stop in the prisons
as soon as the men who know the
trades leave the institutions. Until he

states chief supply, the attorney gen.
eral is as yet unable to say whether
the making of reed furniture can be
continued to be taught in the Ionia
