Death of Wife Is
Nothing to Him
G.. w. Braun Not
Interested In
Girl S F ate

Yes, that woman was my wife, but
I'm not interested in her; we were mar
rled thirteen months ago yesterday,
and she left me three days ago; they
say she was found dying in a lot at
Suffer street and Grant avenue at 1880
this morning, but that is nothing to
me-" said G. w. Braun, a tailor. in dis
cussing the death of his young wife.
Maud Watkins Braun. who was found
in pool of water in the excava ton
for a building. suffering from fatal in
Juries. The woman, who was twenty
three years of age, had been returning
home from the Barbary Coast, and was
believed to have accidentally fallen into
the pit Her death was due to internal
hemorrhage, and came while she was
being taken in an ambulance to the
Central Emergency Hospital
The fact that the young woman met her
end in the sodden bottom of a building
excavation was immaterial to the hus-
band, but he had another question to
put to the Deputy Coroner at the
morgue.
How much money did she have on
her when found?" he asked solicitously.
Nine dollars and eighty cents" re-
sponded the deputy.
Why, she should have had s12,'
sharply retorted Braun
Then his interest for the unfortunate
girl-wife lapsed again. but later in the
day he arranged for her decent burial
with the undertaking firm of McAvoy,
OHarra & Co. 2345 Market street
When the police first investigated the
death OF Mrs Braun and questioned the
ealloused husband, they thought that
some darker aspect than an accident
along dim street might enter into
the case, but later the detectives be-
came convinced that there was no foul
play.
Mrs. Braun was raised in Fruitvale,
where her mother lived. but when
child was adopted by Mrs. Johns of
Westport, Mendocino County, who is
TO attend the funeral of the woman
the one interested person. On Novem-
Der II, 1905, she was married to Braun,
but the couple did not live together in
harmony. The husband worked for his
brother, Charles Braun, a tailor, with
a shop at S03 Noe street. The latter
says that short time ago Braun left
his wife in Nevada, but later returned
TO her. Three days ago the pair sep
arated, the wife going her own way, a
path from which the husband made no
hnal effort to recall her

after that Policeman Isaacs found the

Lloyd engaged in heated colloquy rel
ative to the action of the Relief Cor
poration in summarily ejecting people
from the public parks under the alleged
authority of the Park Commissioners.
The Mayor held that such authority
could not be delegated TO an outside
body and Lloyd Informed him that the
authority to eject was limited to any
person considered immoral or disor-
derby by the Relief Corporation
Further discussion was had of the
question. which, it is believed. will be
settled so far as the city authorities
are concerned by the passage of the
proposed ordinance which will make II
a misdemeanor for any person or COR
poration to collect rentals for the oc-
cupancy of houses built on property be-

S|EMSEN AND PAL
ASK FOR TIME

Alleging appropriateness to enter a
formal plea to the charge of murder.
John Siemsen and Louis Dabner were
formally arraigned before Judge Car
roll Cook yesterday for the killing of
the Japanese banker. NJ. Munakata.
1t was but a small crowd of the GU
rious that followed the gaspipe muir
derers into Judge Cooks court to be
disappointed by lack of sensational
ism and brevity of the proceedings
there. Attorney Greeley on behalf of
Siemsen said that he was not ready to
interpose formal plea and requested a
planned that Dabner was unrepresent-
ed by counsel, but that the prisoners
father was endeavoring to make ar
engagements for the defense. which
would probably be completed in few
days.
In the meantime. said Greeley. he
should object to representing Dabner
under the appoir tnnent of the court as
counsel to Siemsen. The court assured
the attorney that aside from accepting
appointment for the purposes of for
NAL arraignment yesterday he would
not be called on to defend Dabner.
Dabner. arrayed in neat suit of
fashionable cut, took his place beside
Siemsen. the clerk mumbled through
the charge, informed the court that
the handouts were snapped in place,
to their respective prisons before the
small crowd had time to grasp what
had happened
The men will appear Friday morning
at 10 o'clock to enter their formal
pleas.

The appearance at Naco of a South. ern Pacific grading outfit is quite sui, ficient to cause a palpitating move. ment of that town. It is believed to mean that the Southern Pacific has at last decided to connect with the Can, anea railroad at Naco in the near flu. ture. Whether the Southern Pacific connects with the Cananea railroad from Pearce or from Fairbank now seems to be the conundrum interest. ing the Nacoites. This paper predicts that the Southern Pacific, when it builds the line to connect with its Can. anea branch, will start at Pearce and come by way of Douglas. Building this line is the best railroad proposi- tion on the Arizona map today.

RutIedge, Tenn, Sept. THE con-
vention called to meet here today to
nominate republican candidate from
from the third senatorial district re-
suited in split, two conventions be-
ing held and each convention naming
a candidate.
The two candidates are Judge W. Fl.
Jotter, of Scott county, and Captain
"Mit" Hollingsworth, of Campbell.
The rival candidates were nominated
by two conventions in session in the
same hall at the same time. The Jacks
boro delegates bolted the action of the
main convention and at once organ
lied another convention. Both claim
to be regular.
A foaterial convention for Granger
and Hancock counties was also held
here today. John Kingland, of Rut-
ledge, was named as republican candi-
date foater.

man OF the main convention and Creed

Mr.. Bryan'S Speech.

Mr.. Bryan's speech rises to the occa-
sion of his reception. 1t is not only
not disappointing, but is fragrant with
hope and encouragement, aud bears
many message to the people, which
will make him stronger than ever in
their estimation.
Looking at some of his views from
the side paths into which the country
has drifted they may very rightly be
called radical; but measure them with
the original ideas of democracy and
they will be found, in the main, toeing
this line in orderly conservatism. They
undoubtedly cut at the roots of the
evils that have grown up in the repub-
lie, but the ak is kept carefully from
the grand fundamental principles upon
which our government is established.
Mr.. Bryan strips usurpation of power,
but in doing 80, returns to the people
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1906-09-20

the prerogatives which of right belong
to them.
His views in favor of arbitration in
the settlement of the disputes of nations
are not new, nor are they the property
of any party, being merely the echo of
the sentiment of all humanity. Never
theless it is we'll for him to express
them, if for no other purpose than to
rebuke the "big stick policy, which
of late has been too much abroad in the
land.
We believe the people will agree with
him in his attitude toward the senate,
which he would change from its present
status as the bulwark of special inter
ests to body protecting and preserv-
ing the rights of the people.
In advocating the income tax he and
Mr.. Roosevelt seem to be of one mind
as they are or appear to he concerning
the regulation and perhaps ultimate
government ownership of railroads.
Very wisely Mr.. Bryan declares the
the time is not ripe for the ownership
feature, and more wisely still intimates
that it may never be ripe.
His arbitration for labor disputes and
his strong opposition to government by
injunction will make friends of the
workingman. In these views, however,
Mr.. Bryan merely puts forth the tenets
of democracy; for democracy teaches
arbitration and abhors the injunction
when used, as has been the case by r,
publican federal courts, as menace tc
the liberty of the citizen.
