MRS. BRoUWER'S BRAIN.
Experts Found Arsenic There in APP
preciable Quantities.

TOMS RIVER, n. j., October 13.-The de-
Tense in the case of DR.. Frank Brouwer
charged with the murder Of his wife will
endeavor to show that whatever poison
was found in Mrs. Brouwers body found
it's way there after death. This was shown
today when DR.. John Marshall, a Philadel-
phia chemist, testified regarding a chemical
analysis which he had made of a portion
of Mrs. Brouwers brain. DIR. Marsha.
says that his analysis revealed six-hundred
ed-thousands of a grain of ar.
senic. He said it was most unusual to find
VEGETABLE quantity of arsenic in the
brain if the poison had been introduced be-
fore death. In this case a comparatively
large quantity had been found, and this, he
said, indicated that the poison had beer
introduced after death. In reply to ques.
lions DR.. Marshall said that If the pump
used by an undertaken in embalming a. body
with non-arsenic fluid had previously beer
used with fluid containing arsenic any
arsenic deposit that might have been left
in the pump would be taken up ny The iuG
and carried into the second body
The undertaken who emblamed Mrs
Brouwer's body testified that he used a
non-arsenic fluid, but that that pump had
been used before.

is close a corporation as the Star Pub
fishing Company, under which Mr.. Hearst
runs his various papers.
The Independence League was incor-
porated under what is known as the men,
bership law said a member of the COM
mittee last night at the Gilsey house. 1t
is the same law under which all fraternal
organizations are organized.
I'm fact, it is the law under which
churches are organized. OF course, it Is a
fact that no faction of the league. or any
number of members of the league, can
name ticket to be run under the emblem,
of the league without the executive COM
mittees consent We had to take this ac-
ton to protect our emblem.
This committee which has gone up the
state to see Mr.. Hearst is helpless to do
anything if the executive committee de-
crees otherwise We have encouraged in
dependent action by the local organiza-
tions, but nevertheless the power resides
with the executive committee
Mr.. Hearst's action in having the league
incorporated, and his control thus insured,
was lauded by the, politicians last night
as a remarkable piece of foresight. His
action thus removes all possibility of the
league getting beyond his control. All that
he has to do is to see to it that the mem
bers of the executive committee are friend
ly to him and his central of the league can
never be shaken, no matter what the con-
VentionS or organizations may do

DEATH OF DENNIS LONG.
Ex-Confederate Soldier May Be Buried
in Potter's Field,

Dennis Long, who has long been a noted
character about town, died yesterday at the
hospital attached to the workhouse, after
a short illness, said to have been brought
on by exposure to the elements Dennis
Long was an Irishman of the patriotic type.
He came to Washington from Virginia
soon after the close of the civil war after
serving in the fighting "Stonewall Brigade
in the confederate army.
He was a horseshoer' by trade and fol-
lowed that vocation as long as he was able
to WELD a Sledge hammer. In the last
years OF his life he was overcome by mis-
fortunes, and only a few days ago he en-
tered the Police Court and requested Judge
Mullowny to send him down to the work
house for the longest possible term, as he
was too feeble, he explained, to earn a
livelihood any longer. 1t was while serving
this term-he had been sent down for six
months-that death came to him.
Dennis Long was good natured and often
reiated his experience in the army
He was a member of an Irish company
of southern soldiers-the Irish Tigers-and
at the second Bull Run battle while charg-
ing with his command his ammunition be-
came exhausted. STOPPING and removing
the ammunition from d fallen boy in blue
as the charging column swept by, Dennis
rammed a bullet home in his musket, and
running ahead to overtake his yelling COM
radeS, he let out a rebel YELL fired his gun
and exclaimed:
Come on, We spalpeens; it's Irish lads
ye are fitin' now
The remains of the former Irish soldier
in gray are nthe District morgue and the
authorities announce that unless they are
called for before o'clock tomorrow even
ing they will be disposed of according to

WATERLOO, Iowa, October 13-Vice
President Fairbanks spoke to a large au-
dience here this afternoon, formally OPEN
ing the republican campaign in Iowa. He
spoke along general lines and in behalf of
the republican party. He declared that a
democratic majority in the House this fall
would mean disaster to the country He
Endorsed Gov. Cummins and recommended
his election. paying high compliment to
the personality of the governor.
Vice President Fairbanks said:
We have made our largest advance and
prospered as a people when we have ad-
hered to sound and wholesome policies in
government, and we shall make our greatest
progress in the future by holding fast to
those measures and unfolding that admin
istration which have the fullest sanction Of
the best experience. 1t is important that
policies and administrations which have
demonstrated their efficiency should not be
lightly overthroWn, and new and untried
policies, or policies which have been tried
and found wanting. substituted for them
1t is.of the utmost Importance, if we would
attain to our highest development, that we
should inaugurate wise policies and adhere
to them until We have clearly outlived them
and they are no longer reasonably suited to
our needs. The business affairs of a great
people must rest upon stability The people
must have reasonable assurance that if
they SOW today they may reap tomorrow
that if they plan for the enlargement of
their industrial activities there may be a
reasonable certainty that the foundations
upon which they build are not to be swept
away.
Possibility of a Change.
It a change is made in the control of the
House of Representatives and the strength
of the opposition is increased in the Senate
as result of the pending election, a step
will be taken towards a change in national
policies.
This is the memorable logic of the con-
test in which the people are now engaged.

that falled, because of Silveira's disap-
pearance, said this morning that Silveira
had been acting queerly-for some time The
banker, he said. had been in an automobile
accident last spring in which his skull was
fractured. Since then he has not been the

of j. NJ. Ceballos & Co., said today that no

C0mmisslOna.
 Washington, March 1S.-The inter- state commerce commission has taken preliminary steps toward compliance with the Tillman Gillespie resolution adopted by congress- directing the com mission to make inquiry into alleged restraints of certain railroads in the handling of coal and oil.
 The first step was the selection of special counsel in the investigations that Edward B. Whitney of New York and William A. Glasgow, Jr., of Phil- adeIphia had been detained as such 'couusels. While some of the hearings will be held here 1t probably will be necessary to conduct hearings in other cities. The inquiry will be directed to- ward traffic to tide-water and to the interior as well. hence the hearings will cover the east and middle west But the details and other matters are to be worked out, although they have received attention in a general way
 Just how long 1t VIII take to con cludo the investigation and to obtain all the facts called for py the resoiu- ton is problematical.
 Mir. whitney is a Fare graduate and a classmate of Secretary Taft and has been a member of the New York State bar since 1880. He was assistant att torney general of the United States under Attorney Generals Olney. Har- mon and McKenna from 1893 to 1897, and has taken part in the arguments in the supreme court in eases coming under the interstate commerce law, as we'll as the income tax and other cases.
 Mir. Glasgow has been counsel for the commission in the supreme court.
 Both the attorneys selected for the conduct of the inquiry were in confer ence today with Chairman Knapp, of the commission.

TO CONSIDER WHARF
ALDERMAN LOBNGAN TO CALL COM
 MTTTEE FOR THURSDAY.
An Ordinance Carrying Appropriation For Improvement of City's Prop
 erty May Be Reported to Coun- ell Monday Night.

Alderman Nathan Lobman, who has just returned from a business trip to New York, said yesterday that he would call a meeting of the Councils joint committee on Finance and Pub lie Works for Thursday afternoon, to consider an ordInarce for improvement of ,the city wharf property. MT Lob man is chairman of the committee.
 The Aiderman-at-Large expressed his emphatic approval of Mayor Teague's recommendation to the Council to make an appropriation for rebuilding the river wharf He said that the improve ment of the wharf was a matter in which every business man of Montgom- cry is interested and that he would fla vor an appropriation for this purpose.
 On January 3, Mayor Teague sent a message to the Council urging speedy action for improvement of the wharf property. The message was referred to the joint committee on Finance and Public Works, of which MT. Lobman is chairman. Mir. Lobman has been absent from the city about two weeks.
 He said yesterday that he would have called the meeting of the joint commit tee for yesterday had it not been that certain gentlemen who are interested fin the wharf project are absent from
