Officers and Others Called to
Prove Woman irresponsible
When She Shot Brown
WITNESSES FROM UTAH ARRIVE
Court Room Filled With Friends Of
Fair Defendant When Case is Re-
sumed Today = Testimony Reveals
Nothing Of Great Importance-othss
News Of the Day.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Mrs. Bradley
found herself surrounded by friends
when she went into court today to be-
gin the second week Of her trial on
the charge of numbering former Sena-
tor Brown, of Utah. The court room
was full Of witnesses for the defense.
some Of whom were from Salt Lake.
1t was stated before the trial began
that the first witness for the defense
would be Washingtonians, mostly
newspaper men and policemen who
saw the woman after the tragedy. They
will be questioned concerning her de-
meanor and appearance at the time,
with the hope Of creating the impress
sion that she was not responsible for
her act.
James Hay, reporter, was the first
witness, and testified that when he In
terviewed Mrs. Bradley at the police
station the night Of the tragedy, she
appeared pale ,haggard, and agitated,
and wrung her hands, remarking that
she felt Far away from everything"
She told him that Brown was the faA
ther of her two children and that sha
was disgraced woman. Hay could
not say whether she was insane or not,
but Il had my suspicion"
Charles Cottarill. of the Associated
Press, interviewed Mrs. Bradley
shortly after the tragedy. She seemed
unable to collect her thoughts, had
vacant stare in her eyes and did not
volunteer anything, merely answering
his questions. The witness did not
think she was insane.
Police Sergeant Lohman testified
that Mrs. Bradley talked in a rambling
manner after arrested. She was anxious
to know Browns condition, and told s
him she did not intend to shoot
Brown, that she loved the ground he
walked on. Witness thought the pris-
oner was sane.
Policeman Emmert testified at the
hotel that she had a "starey look" but
at the station appeared rational and
collected. He expressed the opinion
that she was sane.

Special to Times-Republican.

Special to Times-Republican.
Fort Dodge, Nov. 1s.-The armory
was filled to capacity with people
wishing to hear Cummins Sunday ev-
ening address on "The Sovereignty Of
the Law 1t was believed that an i'm
portant announcement was imminent,
and the people were disappointed. His
entire theme was that his hands are
tied, and he is powerless to enforce the
laws. The governor discussed the re-
cent outbreaks at Davenport and Du
buque, and expressed the hope that the
law recently discovered in Minnesota,
giving power to the adjutant general,
might be applicable here. Otherwise
the power must be enacted by the leg
islature to remove the sheriff and
states attorney where the violations
occurred.

Assembling Members Of Con-
gress Believe Financial Relief
Measures Will BE First Up
ADMIT LEGISLATION IS NEEDED
Measures Required to obviate . Re-
currence of Recent conditions--As-
set System and Bond Measures for
Enlarged Bank Currency Being Dis
cussed - Opinion Varies.

Washington, Nov 1S.-There are
gress who deal directly with financial
legislation in the city, and 1t is i'm
possible to make definite prediction
az to what course financial legislation
will take in the approaching session.
All who are here. however, agree that
something must be done.
The preponderance of opinion favors
the view that relief legislation will be
more prompt than heretofore predicted.
There are various opinions as to the
course that should be taken, some
favoring the asset system, under which
banks will be allowed to use their
property as a basis of credit, others
the bond system, under which the
bank issue could be enlarged only upon
securities such as municipal bonds,
with the requirement that they should
be approved by the secretary Of the
treasury.
The general idea seems to be that
the margin of flexibility should extend
beyond 20 per cent of the banks cap
ital and that in any event the enlarged
issue should be SO heavily taxed as to
drive it back when the emergency is
passed.
Difficulty is to Agree.
One reason for believing there Will
be comparatively little difficulty in
reaching an agreement on some basis
is found in the fact that the So called
conservative element in the republican
party is in complete accord with the
administration in the opinion that
some form of relief is absolutely neces-
sary in the present emergency. The
only practical difficulty which presents
itself at this time is an agreement on
the form Of legislation. At the same
time it Is not expected anything will be
accomplished without much discussion,
especially in the senate, where there is
unlimited debate where there are many
opinions as to what should be done.
There will be found there some dispo-
sition to criticize present conditions.
There also probably will be some pollt-
ical discussion. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that the democrats will offer any
stubb1n opposition, but will rather
content themselves in stating their po-
sition and throwing responsibility for
action on the party In power.
Present Panic at an End.
That the action of the administra-
ton in coming so vigorously to the
relief Of the financial situation will be
more than ample in the direction de-
sired was the universal comment Of
callers at the White House today
Senator Warren, of Wyoming. said
that the action taken was exactly what
was needed. 1.-The people at large will
not realize that there was no cause for
a panic, and will stop boarding their
money" he added.
Treasury officials and others most
conversant with national finances AMI
currency conditions thruout the coun-
try are almost unite in the opinion
that Secretary Cortelyou's announce
ment that he would issue $100,O00,O0O
in treasury certificates and $5O,000,00O
in Panama bonds is a complete solu-
tion of the present money problem.

Sullivan was supposed to have irl-
