SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 21.-Had the
late ex-senator Arthur Brown fore
seen his death at the hands of Mrs.
Bradley he could have devised no more
ingenious retaliation than the post
norton revenge contained in his will.
The document, which was written Au-
gust "a. 1906, four months before he
was shot down at the Raleigh in
Washington, was filed today for pro-
bate. 1t contains the following;
/ do not devise or give or bequeath anything
10 any OF the children of Mrs. Anna NJ Bradley.
do not think either any child born to Mrs.
Anna NJ; Bradley is or are mine, but whether
such child or children Is or IS not | expressly
provide that neither or any of them shall receive
ANYTHING of my estate.
have never married Anna NJ. Bradley and
never intended to. II she should pretend that
any such relation existed between 10 JUS
test t anp Claims Of any Kind She may present
and direct that she receive nothing from my
estate
The testator bequeaths all his porp-
erty, valued at about $4,000, to his two
children by his first and his second
wife, Alice and Max Brown.
The children so specifically disin-
herited are Arthur. aged Z, and Mark,
aged years. The attorneys engaged
by Mrs. Bradley's relatives in Salt Lake
decline to discuss the will at this time,
but there is scarcely a question that a
contest will be instituted as much for
the purpose of establishing their pa
ternity as to secure a monetary con-
sideration. This is the more likely, as
Mrs. Bradley is, or was a few months
ago, in possession of letters signed
with Browns name in which his rela-
tionship to one or both of the children
is acknowledged. In one of these let
tiers, written after the birth of the first
child. occurs the quotation: Your
blood with mine commingled yet shall
mount the throne of kings"
The contents of the will have caused
a sensation in Salt Lake and given
rise to severe criticism of the dead law
yer. The document was filed by Max
Brown, who is named as executor.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The case of
Mrs. Annie NJ Bradley, held for the
murder of ex-senator Arthur Brown
of Utah, will be acted on by the Grand
Jury of the District of Columbia early
in January. The trial is not expected
to take place before next April or May.
The line of defense has not yet been
decided upon and will not be until the
return of the defendants counsel.

George p Hoover, from Utah, where he
will go early next month for the pur-
pose of gathering information in the
case.
1t is understood here that Judge O..
W. Powers, a well-known lawyer of
Salt Lake, may be secured as Mrs.
Bradley's chief counsel, although moth
ing definite has been determined as to
this and probably will not be until
Judge Bagley of Salt Lake, who has
been employed in the case. has been
heard from.
Both Mrs. Bradley and her counsel
are anxious for an early trial of her
case. Mrs. Bradley's general condition
is said to be good and there is no
indication of breakdown in her health.
She is known as a model prisoner at
the jail. She has displayed no signs
of insanity and conducts herself in a
natural manner, spending much of her
time IN reading. She shows no I'M
usual feeling in the discussion of her
affairs. She is in frequent consulta-
tion with Messrs Wells. Hoover &
Wells, her counsel. Hoover will be
prepared to make thorough investiga-
ton of many incidents and events lead
ing up to the tragedy when he visits
Salt Lake and upon concluding his in
quiry the nature of the defense of Mrs.
Bradley will be disclosed.

CLAIMS DIRECTORS.
ARE CONsP|R |NG
Owner Of Stock in United
Box Board Company Asks
for Order of Accounting
DIVIDENDS WITHHELD

CHICAGO, Dec 21.-Sydney Mitchell,
owner of 1000 shares of the United
Box, Board and Paper Company, ap-
piled today for an injunction restrain
ing the company from paying dividends
and demanding an accounting. He al
leges that the directors have entered
into a conspiracy to wreck the cor
poration. which is capitalized at
$4,000
The Box Board Company, it is de-
clared by Mitchell, was organized in
1902 for the purpose of absorbing all
concerns engaged in the manufacture
of woodpulp and strawboard. Up to
date, Mitchell asserts, twenty five con-
Germs have been merged in the or
ganization. Mitchell declares that he
has brought suit in behalf of all other
stockholders of the United Box, Board
and Paper Company.
During the last three years the total
net earnings of the Strawboa Com
pany have been, according to Mitchell
$S29,000, and in 1904, he declares, the
company had on hand 100000 which
should have been distributed to the
stockholders by dividends.
Mitchell in his bill declares that the
directors permitted the earnings to ac-
cumulate and managed them for their
personal gain and advantage and re-
fused to deliver them as dividends to
the stockholders.

Young People Makes the Merry
Event a Complete Success

The annual Christmas festivities of
the St Marys Cathedral Sunday
school, so eagerly looked forward to by
the youngsters. took place last night
in the basement of st. Mary's Cathedral

catastrophe. has been converted into a
large hall and was used for the hold
ing OF services, was beautifully deco
rated with holly, evergreen and imita-
ton snow.
The principal feature of the even
ings entertainment was a three-act
farce entitled ''St. Germaine. the
Shepherdess Of Languedoc," in which
many well-known young people of the
four hundred took part. A number of
other excellent specialties were in
ciuded in the programme, among which
were:

INCIDENTS RECALLED
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21-A series of in
cidents connected with the recent visit
to America of Lord Curzon, formerly
Vfceroy of India, eliminating in his
departure for England on a different
vessel from that taken by Mrs. Levi
q. Letter and daughters, the Countess
of Suffolk and Mrs. C. Campbell, wife
of an English army officer. has given
Chicago social leaders in close touch
with the Letter family opportunity to
gossip that there has been an estrange-
ment between the family and the dis
tinguished son of Great Britain.
1T is limited, too, that this difference
is the outgrowth of the financial re-
latiens growing out of the settlement
of Lady Curzon's estate and the dis
bursement of the $1;750.000 marriage
settlement. The question has become
delicate morsel for the gossips in So
cial circles and today when 1t was
learned that Lord Curzon sailed on
different vessel from that taken by his
relatives, although he had no other
business In America but to arrange the
details of the marriage settlement, the
following Incidents were recalled:
J. The morning after Lord Curzon's
arrival in Chicago Joe Letter his
brother law, left the city for ''rou-
tine visit to his coal mines at Zeigler,
ILL.,, Notwithstanding it was only the
second visit his distinguished relative
had ever made to Chicago and might
be the last.
2 Joe did not invite Lord Curzon
to be guest at his apartments at 234
Lincoln Park boulevard, but arranged
for suite at the Auditorium Annex
instead
g. Joe Letter spent but five minutes
with his brother-in day, according to
his own admission, during the latter's
stay in Chicago.
When Lord Curzon was in Washing
ton he did not visit the Letter home,
but was a guest at the residence of
the Persian ambassador, although Mrs
Letter and her daughters were in the
city and the beautiful home in Dupont
Circle was open at the time.
Another fact is that Joe Letter took
practically no part in the financial
conferences with Lord Curzon, but left
that matter almost entirely in the
hands of Robert t. Lincoln. who is one
of the executors of the Letter estate.
Joe Letter when seen today pooh
poohed the idea of an estrangement
and laughed at the story. He admitted,
however, that the Washington incident
looked funny"

ASSAULT ON WHITE
WOMAN AVENGED

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 21.-A mob num-
bering twenty five or thirty men broke
down the door of the Annapolis Jail at
an early hour today, took out Henry
Davis, negro who criminally assault
ed Mrs. John Reid (white) last Friday
near Iglehart's Station, and lynched
him. Davis, who also was known by
the name of Chambers, confessed his
guilt before being put to death. Little
or no resistance was offered to the mob
at the jail.
TIE negro was dragged by the mob
to vacant lot on College Creek,
quarter of mile distant. where he
was strung up to limb of a tree and
half a dozen bullets fired into him. He
is thought to have died instantly.
AS the body was being let down some
one cried out. Another white woman
is avenged" On the way to the place
of execution members of the lynching
party kicked and cuffed Davis when
ever opportunity was offered. His body
was left lying under the tree which
had served as the gallows. 1t was
viewed by hundreds of persons during
the day.
The lynching party used Senior Hall
of st. Johns College for its assembling
place. This fact is taken to indicate
that most of the men conpected with
the affair were Annapolitans and did
not come from Igleharts Station, where
Mrs. Reid lives. As early as II o'clock
it appears. the mob began to collect on
st. John campus Some time after
IL it entelxd the lower floor of Senior
Hall. There its members proceeded to
blacken their faces and some of them
donned masks. The men were quiet in
their movements, but some of the
students were awakened. These later
came down and watched the proceed
ings, but did not interfere or give any
alarm.
The college authorities strongly de-
MED today that any of. the students
were implicated in the lynching.

LARRABeE AND LAFE YOUNG.

It was a spectacle for serious minds
TO ponder over when ex-Gov Larrabee
and LATE Young spoke on the same
evening in Waukon to separate aud
fences II newspaper reports are cor
rect the number of Young's hearers
scarcely rose to the dignity of an aud
ience. He spoke to benches mostly
empty while the people crowded to
hear the venerable ex-governor of Iowa
voice his confidence in the man who
is keeping up the fight Larrabee be-
gan.
1t was in way an historic incident.
When Larrabee vigorous and strong in
his manhood and conviction was stand
ing for popular rights. an Iowa railroad
commission, an Iowa law regulating
railroads and for an honest state adj
ministration, LATE Young was a mem
Der of the assembly and part of the
Larrabee movement. Passing over any
incident that may have taken place
later in Youngs career in the assem-
bly, when Larrabee was governor, LATE
was with Larrabee Larrabee in his
old age comes out from his retirement
to fight the good fight over and keep
the faith. In the same town on the
same night LATE Young was pleading
with the few he could find to listen for
control of the state, for
Blythe dictatorship and an executive
council and governor acceptable to
the corporations.
What Late thought. what he felt,
what recurring memories of the old
time when he stood by Larrabee float,

TEACHING AGRICULTURE.

Agriculture Is to be taught In the
other counties in the state the coming
school year. A good many patrons
will oppose the innovation just as
manua, training was opposed in the
cit, schools until the public mind WAS
educated to its advantages. There is
a popular belief in most farming com-
nui.tles that book learning" e3pec-
tally as regards things pertaining to
the farm. while beautiful in thec"y,
never pans out IN practice To some
extent that is true. The scientific
farmer needs common sense enough to
adapt himself and his theories to vary
ing conditions. Without that he Is
worse off than the man who lacks both
common sense and learning. for the
latter will in many things follow the
example of his more fortunate neishbor
and to that extent can't go altogether
wrong. But the young man who has
studied farming even IN DOCKS mas tue
advantage of beginning with mucn
that his neighbor had to learn by ex-
perience and perhaps many failures.
He lays broader foundation for sue
cess and has a better notion of his
chosen work, just as the boy or girl
who knows his botany and can analyEe
the flower sees beauty IN pistil, leaf
and stamen; or the musician who has
studied harmony and all the theory Of
his art knows and appreciates the
highest and best. even IL he does not
attain II himself
Make the study of agriculture part
Of the course in rural schools. 1t may
awaken a keener interest among the
boys and girls in familiar things, but
about which they know little. 1t may
make them love the farm, may keep
hem there-one of the greatest needs
IF a great state.

OUR AsIATIc TRADE

Trade Of the United States with
Asia. excepting Japan, China, and the
Philippines. is large as to imports, but
small as to exports. The trade with
Japan, China, and the Philippines has

bureau Of statistics, showing that the
United States supplied in 1905. 10 per
cent of the imports of the Philippines,
20 per cent of those of China, and 81
per cent of those of Japan. To the
other Asiatic countries the United
States supplied but little more than 1
per cent Of the imports, altho taking
large quantities of their exports.
The imports from all Asia except
Japan, China, and Hongkong in the
fiscal year 1905 were valued at so mil
