No FINANCE LEGISLATION
THE OPINION OF CONGRESSMAN
FRENCH OF IDAHO.
HERE ON WAY TO WASHINGTON
Mr.. French Believes That by the Time
Congress Reaches Financial Matter
stringency viii Have Passed-Wlll
Be a Lot Of Talk, However.

Stringency viii Have Passed-Will
Be Lot Of Talk, However.
The approaching session of congress
is not likely TO pass any new finance
legislation, in the opinion of Congress
man Burton French of Moscow, Idaho,
who with his wife has been visiting in
Norfolk at the home of w. G. Baker.
Congressman and Mrs. French left to-
day for Washington, where the ma
tional congress is about to convene.
Congress may flirt with some new
finance schemes this winter but TO
important, let alone radical changes
in the existing financial system me
expected by the Idaho congressman.
1T is only natural that there should
be good deal of talk Of prospective
financial legislation and finance re.
form just at this moment when we are
in the midst of something like finan-
cial crisis" said Congressman French
in Norfolk. ut is very unlikely. how.
ever, that this widespread talk will
find any definite results in congress
sional action.
I'm the first place there Is every in
dication that the backbone of the fl
nancial furry has been broken. The
prosperity Of the country has a solid
enough foundation to permit a reason
ably rapid recovery from the temper
| airy setback. In fact, | think that by
the time the business of congress is
well under way there will have ceased
to exist any reason for an immediate
call to new finance laws.
with the country in the evident
process of adjusting itself the fact
that presidential year is at hand will
prove an effective check on any move
this winter to change existing law to
any considerable extent.
There may be bills introduced and
bate and discussion but of definite &C
ton there will probably be none.
Idaho like Nebraska has a solid
foundation for prosperous year and
it's present financial grief is a gift
from away. In fact Moscow and the
country about reminds me very much
of Norfolk and it's territory"
Congressman French is serving his
second term at Washington. At the
time of his entrance to congress he

Washington, Nov. 21.-Cross exam

some of his teeth. A large number
of letters of a most endealing nature
exchanged by Brown and Mrs. Brad

NEW YORK BANKERS HOLD BACK
VIII Subscribe for Certificates II Cash
is Left on Deposit There.

New York, Nov. 21.-The govern
ment's issue OF $l00,O00,OOO In treas
ury certificates OF Indebtedness contin-
ues to engross the attention Of New
York bankers, who apparently have
not reached definite decision as to
the course they shall pursue. The
subscriptions SO far received at the
local subtreasury seem to indicate
that the larger banks in this city are
temporarily Withholding their offers
OF purchases. The subtreasury Off
Gals are not disposed to make public
the amount of subscriptions received
there during the past three days. say
ing they are merely acting as trans
hitting agents for the treasury depart
ment at Washington, to which point
the offers are being forwarded as fast
as they come in.
The fact that the banks are holding
of for the time being has led to the
more or less definite report that heads
of the larger banking institutions are
DESTROYS of obtaining some sort OF as
surance from Washington that the
money paid out here for the purchase
OF new securities will be left on de-
Losit in local institutions.
The currency premium varied be-
tween 2A and az, with some transac,
tons as high as 8 per cent. With the
price OF currency ruling at these fig
ures 1t was said the bankers could not
see their way clear to purchase the
certificates of In hebtedness under any
other arrangement than the retention
OF the purchase money on deposit In
this city. The money shipments from
New York to the interior have been
quite heavy recently. and the banks
here are anxious to continue thii
means Of assistance to the genera
financial situation. The advance In the
price Of currency Is attributed to the
demands from the interior for payroll
purposes.

MRS. BRADLEY IN TEARS.
Woman on Trial for Murder Weeps
on Witness Stand.

Washington, Nov. 2l.-That Mrs.
Bradley did not come to Washington
18th any intention OF killing former
n lator Arthur M. Brown OF Utah.
oh.d that she did not even remember
shooting him, she told the jury in her
trial. The first half of the day was
given largely to the identification of
letters from Mr. Brown to Mrs. Brad
ley and from her to him. very few Of
which were read. The real tragedy
formed the subject of the afternoon
sitting. At that time Judge Powers
Drought out the full statement in his
examination in chief. This consumed
only few minutes and as soon as he
concluded, District Attorney Baker en-
tered upon his cross.examination. He
devoted comparatively little attention
to the shooting itself, but going back
to the early days Of the relationship
between Senator Brown and Mrs.
Bradley, sought to show by reading
letters and questioning the witness
to break up Senator Browns home
and that she was at enmity with Mrs.
Brown as early as 1901. He also
brought out the fact that Mrs. Bradley
and Mrs. Brown had originally been
strong friends and that this friend
ship even extended beyond the time
of the birth of Mrs. Bradley's first
child by Brown.
There were times when Mrs. Brad
ley burst into tears or sank into
signs or sobs. Her voice was, how
ever, at all times indistinct and fal-
tering and she was heard with the
greatest difficulty. She made no COM
plant Of fatigue and left the witness
stand at the end Of the day In very
good condition.
The fact that upon first going to
Senator Browns room at the Raleigh
hotel, Mrs. Bradley found there a let,
ter from Mrs. Annie Adams, the &C.
tress. to the senator, was dwelt on ut
some length by Judge Powers. making
II evident that II Is his intention to at
tempt to show that the discovery OF
this letter supplied the immediate
motive for the killing of Brown.

ton of National Bank Examiner
Mickey in the Walsh trial. Ten sales
aggregating $4,000 were gone over
and identified by date and amount.
1t was further indicated by the testi'
mony that the memorandum notes up
on which the prosecution alleges snor
nous sums were drawn from the
banks vaults by Walsh were paid up
on maturity.
The direct examination Of Mr.
Moxey was finished after he had testi
ned to entries purporting to show the

notes bearing various signatures
amounting to s644.OO0. had been dis
