NEW YORK, Dec. 13:-Eleven of
the thirteen riders in the six-day BIZ
cycle race at Madison Square Gar
den crashed together on the north
east turn at 1880 this morning and
all of them were bruised and cut, one
seriously. C. l.. HOLSTER, of the Salt
Lake City team, was picked up un-
conscious and removed to his quar-
tiers with a possible fracture of the
right hip. The smash resulted in a
suspension of the race for an hour
and a half. Ambulances were called
from New York and Bellevue hos
pitfalls.
Vanoni, the Italian, was thrown
completely over the railing into one
of the boxes. He struck on top of
several spectators and luckily escaped
injury.
The accident occurred in exactly
the same place where Mclean and
Menus Bedell were injured on Mon
day. Fogler had started a beautiful
sprint and was fifty feet ahead of the
field when Root shot out and re-
lieved him on the east bank. Matt
Downey was s~printing after them like
a whirlwind. Fobler swung out to
give place to Root and they crashed
together.
Downey turned a complete somer
sault, and Vanoni, Emil Georget and
Walthour ran over him. Rutt and
Stol were close behind and crashed
into them, and the seven men piled
up in a heap.
Holster tried to go round the
tangled heap of men and broken BIZ
cycles and shot into the fence neal
the bottom of the bank. Coffey, Wi
ley and Logan followed him and met
the same fate.
Policemen Gilman and Houston
jumped on to the track and helped
the trainers and rubbers carry off the
injured riders. The crowd surged
over the railing and the widest eX-
element prevailed.

The INNOCENT
CAUSE OF 1T.
Why Mrs. Bradley Killed Ex-Sen.
atOr Brown Story of Miss
Annie c. Adams.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ID. = Former
United States Senator Arthur Brown
of Utah, who was shot in his apart
ments at the Hotel Raleigh Saturday
afternoon by Mrs. Anna NJ. Bradley of
Salt Lake City, died at midnight last
night at the Emergency hospital.
Mrs. Bradley was arraigned in po-
lice court today on the charge of muir
der. Her attorneys will set up the de-
Tense that she was justified under the
"unwrltten law" in shooting Mr..
Brown.
Mrs. Annie C. Adams, mother of
Maude Adams, the actress, interview
ed at New York. admitted that she
was probably the innocent cause of
h death Of former United States
Senator Arthur Brown of Utah here
at the hands of Mrs. Anna Bradley.
Mrs. Bradley's grievances were not
imaginary; they were real," said Mrs.
Adams. u could have undoubtedly
prevented the shooting if l had had the
chance.
Il am not disturbed T. t the police
have taken possession o. \ bundle Of
letters found in Senator Browns pos
session and which l wrote to him. We
were close personal friends, and 1 can
of course explain everything in the let
tiers.
''It is true that Senator Brown was
to have met me in New York this
week. He was my personal counsel,
but our meeting was not necessarily
to have been a business one. We were
old friends, and our meeting would
have been a social one.
IF | had realized that the feeling of
Mrs. Bradley toward the senator was
so desperate l am sure l could have
induced him to marry her and give her
and her children his name Mrs. Brad
ley did not call upon me to aid her in
any way, and did not have any rea-
son to anticipate this trouble.
Il first met Senator Brown twenty
five years ago in Salt Lake City, when
he was engaged in settling up my ia
TIERS estate.
1--WE have met occasionally since and
have corresponded irregularly. The
senator was always very kind to me.
I did not know Of any love affairs of
his until he told me about Mrs. Brad
ley and the worry he was undergo
ing. He seemed to regret the affair
exceedingly"
Mrs. Adams, who is an actress, has
been on the road with Miss Barry
more's company in captain jerks"
The play closed in Philadelphia, and
Mrs. Adams came on here to spend
Christmas. The company and Miss
Barrymore went to Chicago to put on
"Alice-Sit-by-the-Fire."
Mrs. Bradley. it is said, learned last
week that Senator Brown, who had
cast her off, was to meet Mrs. Adams
in New York. She at nce formed
some more or less unjust suspicious
and, following the senator east, shot
him.
Mrs. Adams, speaking of this phase
of the case, said:
ut appears that Mrs. Bradley saw
my letter telling the senator / would
in her condition of mind it was the
final aggravation that led her to shoot
the senator.
II can explain everything and will
as to what | have written him, and l
hope the public will not put a wrong
Interpretation upon things until the
facts are known"
