ESTIMATE OF THE DEAD
IS CHANGED AGAIN
Figures of Fifty Dead Are Now Thought
to Be Too small-only One
Boat Picked Up.

San Francisco, Cal, July 23.--The es-
innate OF lives lost in the sinking Of the
steamer Columbia was again changed
this morning, when it was learned that
instead Of three, as reported last night,
only one lifeboat bad been picked up,
bearing survivors. This boat contained
16 living and two dead Six lifeboats
and three liferafts loaded TO the limit
were cut loose. Until all are accounted
for it will be impossible to tell the ex-
act number saved. Even then few
persons who chung to wreckage may still
be picked up by steamers and carried
to far ports. It is now believed, how.
ever, that the death list will 90 over
so as reported last night, and III Is
too large an estimate of the number
saved.

SLID OFF ROOF,
STRUCK ON SIDE
Thomas Nierney Is Not Only Alive But
viii BE Out Again in a
Short Time.

That Thomas Nierney of Webster
Yille was not killed is considered quite
remarkable when his feat of sliding oil
house and striking on the ground is
considered He was busy this morning
on the top of house and lost his hold.
He slid down the roof and over tho
edge. Here his fall was not arrested and
he plunged down the remainder of the
distance. A piazza roof partially
checked his fall, but the drop from that
to the ground was seventeen feet. He
struck on his side.
DIR. J. i. McSweeney of this city,
who was called to attend the case, says
that Nierney will be about in two
weeks, although he is very stre from
his experience. There were no bones
broken, however.

FIRST ICE OF SEASON
TEMPERATURE FELL TO %
DEGREES DURING NIGHT.

The first ice of the year was noticed
here and there early today upon the
surface of the pools in and near the
city. With the thermometer at 23 de-
grees above zero, nine points below
freezing, there was promise of skating
in the course of a few days If that
continued, but Old Sol was on the job
early, and his warm rays sent all these cal
culations to the dim past.
AS a result, more moderate weather Is
promised for Newarkers for the next few
days. At least, that is what Professor
Wiener, the weather man, says. He ought
to know.
With daylight, the thermometer began TO
jump until at noon the mercury registered
Al degrees above with the fluid still going
up.
Although Professor Wiener does not
promise any ''shirt-sleeve" weather yet he
says that the cold gave has gone elsewhere
and that tonight will find 1t very comfort
able to go out for a walk.
There is no indication, however, of a
protracted moderate spell and the weather
man will have to watch his Instruments
daily for another cold wave that is likely
to strike home at any time.

Sensational Trial for Browns
Murder Marked by Statements
From Witnesses Who Talked
With Accused Woman I'M
mediately After Shooting,

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-When the
trial of Mrs. Bradley was resumed to-
day it was apparent that the prosecu-
ton would soon complete its testimony
and the attorneys for the defense were
prepared to present their side of the
case as speedily. as possible.
When court adjourned yesterday Dis.
trict Attorney Baker and his assistants
were engaged in an effort to obtair
from members of the police force the
details of the confession said to have
been made by Mrs. Bradley immedi-
ately aften her arrest on the charged
shooting former Senator Brown, but III
to that time Mr.. Hoover had success
fully opposed this purpose because, as
ne claimed. 1t was made under thu
false assumption on Mrs. Bradley's part
that what she said would not be used
against her. The district attorney was
not especially persistent in pressing the
point, and early. today was quite in
clined to drop it altogether.
The only remaining feature of his
direct presentation of the case. is that

Mrs. Bradley had made against Mr..
Brown while she was still IN Salt Lake
City, and Mr.. Baker notified Mrs.

between Senator Brown and Mrs. Brad

Immediately after the tragedy. She told OF
a visit to the prisoner by United States
Senator Sutherland, whose conversation was
not heard by the Witness and also OF a
visit by Detective Grant, Of the local police
force. She said she had heard the de-
tective tell Mrs. Bradley that anything
she might say would be used against her.
Mrs. Bradley had freely consented to talk
and no difficulty had been experienced
by the detective in procuring a statemnt
from hef. Lieutenant Hartley, Of the
police force, corroborated Mrs. Thorn
burg's testimony concerning the visit Of
Detective Grant and his warning. but he
said that Mrs. Bradley had told the, de-
tective she did not wish to make a state

After further. testimony to pave the way
for Detective Grant statement, he was
called to the stand, but before he could
proceed Mr.. Hoover made objection on the
ground that Mrs. Bradley's statement to
the detective was not voluntary and there
fore not admissible. Judge Stafford de-
clded, however. that it was proper and
Grant proceeded. He said:
Mrs. Bradley told me that she was a
companion of Senator Browns; that she
had lived with him for a long time and had
children by him. / asked her how she
came to shoot him. but she would not an

the pistod with her in a red bag. She said
she had not acted upon impulse, but had
thought over the deed for a long time, and
had made up her mind that IL Brown did
not do right by her, she was going to kill
him."
Policeman Lamb. also testified that Mrs.
Bradley had told him that she had had

twenty years, and that when he had met
her on a street in Salt Lake in June or
July of 1906 she had told him that she
was making her own living by keeping a

was not putting up for her expenses; and
