Motive Of Attack.
The cause of the shooting, so far as
Mrs. Bradley will say, is that Senator
Brown is the father of her two chill
dren. and that he refused to marry
her despite his repeated promises to
make her his wife. She said that Sen
ator Brown had been instrumental in
the divorce between her and her hus,
band, and that, as his wife was dead,
he now could do the right thing by
her" This, she said. he positively re-
fused to do.

ClAL CHANNELS.

Rome, Dec. 12-Since the recall OF
Bellamy Storer from the post OF am
bassador of the United States to Aus
tria-Hungary, last March, several at
tempts have been made to induce the
Vatican authorities to<,set forth what
pressure, If any, had been brought to
bear upon them from President
Roosevelt to make Archbishop Ireland
cardinal, and yesterday the Vatican
declared semi-offi cially it could make
no such statement, as President Roose-
welt never had asked anything through
official channels. 1t was explained
that while severa Americans who de-
clared they spoke with President
Roosevelt's authority, had attempted
to influence the giving of the red hat,
they did not agree on the archbishop
thus to be honored. The Vatican au-
thorities do not consider that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was responsible for
these recommendations.
