Former Senator Brown of Utah Lyinq
 In a Critical Condition
Shot In His Room at Washington Hotel by a Woman Who Says He Ought to Have Married Her Long Ago.

Washington, D. C., Dec. S-FOrmer United States Senator Arthur Brown of Utah. tonight is in a critical condi- ton in the Emergency hospital with q pistol shot wound in the abdomen in flicted by Mrs. Anna M. Bradley of Salt Lake, who arrived here today from that city. The shooting occurred in Senator Browns apartments in the Raleigh hotel. where Mrs. Bradley also had registered under the name of "A. B. Brown" She was arrested.
 Mrs. Bradley arrived shortly after noon After being assigned to a room. she immediately went to Senator Browns apartments. There was no witnesses to the shooting. but a maid heard the shots and at once notified the management
 According to her statement tonight at the police station. where she talked freely with the newspaper men. Mrs. Bradley came to Washington to de- mand that Senator Brown marry her. She said that their relations were un- known in Salt Lake.
 "I asked him if he was going to do
 
 taining remarkable cOmposure. 'In re- ply he put on his Overcoat and started to leave the room and I shot him. abhor acts of this character. but in this case 1t was only justifiable."
 She said she urged Senator Brown to marry her. that he had been instru- mental in the divorce between her hus- band and herself. and that as his wife was dead. he could do the right thing by her. This. she said. he refused to
 Mrs. Bradley is a brunette. about SS years old and frail. Her first act after being taken to the police station was to send for Senator Sutherland of Utah. who called on her tonight and had a long talk with her. Senato- Sutherland regretted being brought into the case but he said that Mrs Bradley had sent for him because he was the only man here whom she knew. To him she unburdened herself and told the story of her relations with Senator Brown.
 She alleged that two of her children owe their parentage to Senator Brown and that she has named one of them after him. Mrs. Bradley was reluctant to speak of her former husband. but questioning brought out the fact that he was living in Nevada with a sec ond wife by whom he has several chill dren.
 Further questioning disclosed the fact that Mrs. Bradley for two years. 1900 to 1902 had served as secretary 10 the state republican committee and also at one time was editor of the of ficial organ of the state federation of Women's Clubs. She declared that she had sister in the nursing business in Salt Lake but that sne would not communicate with members of her family because she knew that they would come to her assistance. Up to late hour last night she had not ob- tained counsel

PEARY'S WAY
 TO THE POLE
lie Believes That It is
 Easy of Discovery
Only an Abnormal Winter Prevented the Solving of the Mystery of Ages.

New York, Dec. S-Commander Rob ert E. Peary gave lecture today at the museum of natural history upon his latest attempt to reach the pole He said in the course of It that he was sat isfied that there was body of land somewhere about a hundred miles north of Greenland. His party. he said, drifted a hundred miles from Greenland in the open sea. which he was convinced could have only come from rivers flowing from the land on the north. The commander said also that he believed that if the Polar win ter during which he made his attempt had been normal one he would have reached the pole.
 He thought it could be reached with no greater expense or less time than he had experienced in his expedition. He believed the pole could be reached with sledges, but the explorer should leave the land further west than he did at about Cape Richards. and should not proceed straight toward the pole. but toward the northwest. and thus take advantage of the north drift of the ice and current, which is southwest He discovered he said. a unique gla- cial fringe on the northern coast of Grant Land which he believed to be the origin of the paleocrystic, or always frozen ice which former explorers had thought was from ice massed about the pole.

Senator Bailey Explains the Nature of
 His fntangement
An Open Letter In Which He Says the Attorney General of Texas Had Attacked Him With Forged Documents

Dallas. Texas, Dec. Slate tonight United States Senator Joseph w Bailey gave out an open letter to Al torney General Davidson in answer to a letter which the attorney general is sued last night setting out copies of papers of the Waters Pierce Oil com pany. Senator Bailey says: "The at torney general has eliminated very much from the discJfssiOn by confirm ing what I had said in my previous open letter"
 The documents, he said. do not sup port the inferences which the attorney general previously made. Indeed. he says, the voucher for S33O0 and the notations upon it show conclusively that sum was loaned to him by II. (. Pierce and not by the Waters Pierce Oil company and the bills receivable under it show that Pierce borrowed the money on it from the oil company and that it was not treated as an item of expense.
 Senator Bailey declares that the at torney general has failed to produce a shred of evidence that he assisted in returning the Waters-Pierce Oil com pany to the state or that he had acted as attorney for or received compensa- tiOn from it. He declares that he rep resented Pierce publicly in many mat ters.

THE GREAT HILL SYSTEM
 10 Bt INVESTIGATED
The Commissioners Merely Want to Satisfy Themselves that Everything is All Right.

Washington. D. C., Dec. S.-An in vestigation Of the operations and man agement of the railroads controlled by James J. Hill and associates, including the Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Chicago. Burlington and Quincy, is in contemplation by the interstate commerce commission. After certain preliminaries have been arranged and counsel for the commission has been selected. a formal announcement of the proposed inquiry will be made.
 As in the case of the proposed inves- tigation of the Southern Pacific and Union Pacific railroads. of the Harri- man system. the inquiry is not the out growth of any specific complaints O. violations of the interstate commerce law. but is to be undertaken by virtue of the general inquisitOrIaL powers conferred upon the commission by con Q g-ess. The inquiry will be broad ami comprehensive. with a view of learning the condition bf affairs regarding the railroads.
 Stuyvesant Fish, former president of the Illinois Central railroad called at tine White House today and later talk ed with the interstate commerce cOni- missioners. It was stated that his calls had nothing to do with the pro- posed investigation of the Hartman system. MT. Fish said that he was not aware that he had any knowledge that would be Of value to the cOmmis- sion but if it was disposed to call upon him he would gladly respond.
