ARSENIC IS FOUND
IN WOMAN'S BRAIN
Defense in Brouwer Case Tries to
Show Embalmer Put t
There. sal

: Toms River, N. J., Oct. 19.-The de-
Tense in the case of DR.. Frank Brouw-
or, charged with the murder Of his wife
by poison and crushed glass, will en-
deavor to show that whatever poison
was found in Mrs. Brouwer's body
found its way there after death. This
was shown today when DR.. John Mar
shall, Philadelphia chemist, testified,
regarding chemical analysis which he
had made of a portion Of Mrs. Brouw-i
er 8 brain DR.. Marshall said that his
analysis revealed six hundred one hun-.
dred of grain of arsenic.
He said 1t was most unusual to find a.
VEGETABLE quantity of arsenic in the
brain If the poison had been introduced
before death. In this case a compare
tive large quantity had been found,
and this, he said, indicated that the
poison had been introduced after death.
In reply to- questions, DIR. Marshall said
that If the pump used by an undertaken.
in embalming q body with non-arsenic.
! fluid had previously been used with q
| fluid containing arsenic any arsenic de-
! post that might have been left in the
pump would be taken up by the fluid
! and carried into the second body. The
undertaken who embalmed Mrs. Br0uw-
| er's body testified that he used a non.
/ arsenic fluid, but that the pump had
been used before.
/ :. The prosecution yesterday rested its
4 case. The state endeavored to estab-
! fish that Mrs. Brouwer came to her
/ death from the effects Of arsenic and
crushed glass administered by her hus-
4 band.

CALLS HEARST INs1NcERE
Hughes Replies to His Opponents
Keen Alternative Charge.

Seneca Falls, NJ. Y, Oct. 13.-In
speeches today in Yates and Seneca
counties, Charles, E. Hughes, the repub-
lican candidate for governor, took up
r. Hearst at Corning last night to the
effect that the net result of the life in
surance Investigation as conducted by
Mr.. Hughes was the substitution in the
Equitable Life Assurance society Of
"ruthless Ryan for harmless Hyde. -
Mr.: Hughes declared his opponent
was insincere in making such a state
ment and could not OIL the people. !"
He pointed out that the Ryan purchase
OF the Hyde stock was made before an
investigation was even ordered and nat
urally before he had anything to do
with the subject.
Mr.. Hughes repeated in his speeches
today his charges of insincerity against
Mr.. Hearst. This has been the key
note OF all his. later utterances. (.

Contest. ...
HEARST SAYS WEALTH
MUST NOT DOMINATE
His Letter of Acceptance Discusses
Plutocracy and Special In
+ terests' Influence.
Special to The Journal,

New York, Oct. 13.-"This year s
state election in New York is more inn
Portant than a presidential election
Is the word President. Roosevelt has
sent here. The growing interest not
only of the national administration but
OF public men generally in the New
York situation is one of the most note
worthy features of the sensational polit-
zeal battle now. raging. The eyes of
the whole country are upon New York.
Nevertheless the president fears apathy
among the people most directly con
cerned that may threaten the cause he
thinks ought to win. =. 3
In various ways the president is com.
munieating his views to the republican
leaders here and the leaders in turn
have set themselves to voicing solemn
warnings against ver-confidence. The
president has been studying the close
tions as we'll as the big falling off in
the total in those years as compared
with the presidential elections next
preceding. The general conditions pre-
vailing in this regard form one source
of alarm for the republican party.
Estimates Are Far Apart.
The claims of the two parties adj
vanced in all good faith in con
fidential way are vastly farther apart
than is customary in such campaign
with the election only about three
weeks away.
1t is impossible to believe, as the
republicans insist, that Hearst is to be
showed under by a, majority which will
equal that against Bryan in 1895
There are plenty Of evidences Of revolt
on the democratic side, but, on the
other hand, there is every reason tt
believe the republicans are underesti
mating Mr.. Hsarst's real strength and
there is actual danger in the situation
on that account.
Mr.. Hearst may not be elected, but
the present indications are that he il
going to- surprise everybody unless
something happens to break up the
present alliance between the candidate
and Boss Murphy of Tammany hall
Hearst will have a surprising vote il
Greater New York. Given the condi
ton Of bad weather up state, with
snow storm, bad roads and overconfi
dence, the republicans might find it 8
difficult job to muster votes enough
above the Bronx to- overeomes Hearst s
lead in Greater New York. -

Adirondack bound north from New

seventy-fve feet of the lower deck on
