its way to providing for the burning.

that the proposed purchase does not
technically constitute a merger within
the meaning of the law, forbids the
company to issue securities for CAPT
taliZation above 100000, equivalent to
the total issue of the two old COM
panies. The new company desired to
issue stock and bonds to a total of
81 JOG, 600. The decision says that the
case in question is not merger. but
a purchase by newly formed corpor-
alton of the property and franchises of
the two existing companies, and in this
respect it is within the law. IL is de-
cided. however, that the raising of
rates over those at present existing Is
illegal, and such action is prohibited.

Witnesses for Defense.


Among those who are TO be called as
witnesses for Mrs. Bradley. are Maurice
NJ. Kaighn, Judge H. W. Henderson
and DR.. F. w. Whitney, of Salt Lake
City; Mrs. ]. w. Swaney, of San Fran
cisco, and Rev. David Utter, of Den
yer. These witnesses were summoned
to Washington by an order of Justice
Wright, who granted a motion of Mrs.
Bradleys attorneys that all of their ex-
penses should be paid by the govern
ment, in view of the defendants desti-
tute condition. Other witnesses will be
placed on the stand in her behalf.
District Attorney Baker will conduct
a vigorous prosecution. He has sum-
moned a score of witnesses from the
west and has also in hand the deposit
tions of many others to be offered as
a part of the evidence against the
woman.
The government will produce as a
witness Annie Adams, mother of
Maude Adams, the actress. The dis
trict attorney will attempt to show that
ii was because of jealousy of Mrs.
Adams that Mrs. Bradley shot Brown.
Evidence will be introduced to show
that Senator Brown was on his way to
New York and was followed to this
city by Mrs. Bradley, who is said to
have become enraged at the thought OF
his marrying Mrs. Adams. Love let
tiers from Mrs. Adams and Mrs. Brad
ley to Senator Brown will form an in
teresting part of the evidence.

Demand for Currency.

Interior requirements for currency
have continued heavy, and every re-
source has been sought to meet them
and to assist thus in the movement of
crops and the keeping open of the
currents of commercial activity, vital
as these processes are to the working
out of the situation and the facilitat-
ing of liquidation.
The success to be obtained in this
now commands the almost undivided
attention of the financial world. The
contraction, of credit must work some
hardship and damage. but the hope is
maintained that this may be limited
and conditions placed carly on the road
to bettedment- Increased number and
liabilities of failures, fall in prices of
commodities and reduction of forces of
labor there also have been. The rec
ord of failures thus far and the fall N
prices of commodities find explanation
i'm over-eXtension in new enterprises
and price imitation due in some cases
to Withholding of stocks which must
now come to market at a disadvan-
tage.

In accordance with the decision of
Secretary Taft last November, a con-
centratiOn scheme is being worked out
in the coast artillery service by which
some of the seventy-eight separate
forts where modern coast defenses are
installed or in process of installation
are to be completely manned and the
remainder placed in the hands Of
care-takers. Thirty-two of the princi-
pal forts were selected as main posts,
having as nearly as practicable gar
risons of 100 per cent of a full man

SECURITIES MAY
Be THROWN At Us
Limit About Reached in the
Importation of Gold
From the Old World.
CROPS MOVING TO MARKET
SOME SIGNS OF ANXIETY APP
PARENT ABROAD.

New York, Nov. 10.-The progress Of
last week was a steady improvement
in financial conditions in New York
which was reflected in strong closing
quotations in the stock market. When
the crisis arrived in New York, Amer
lean obligations to foreign lenders
were at an unusual ebD, the London
and Paris money markets having been
exercising severe discrimination
against American borrowers for several
months past. This policy was prompt
ed by the recollection of the troubles
precipitated on foreign money markets
last fall by heavy American borrow
ings, attributed by foreign critics to
speculative operation in American and
which forced gold shipments to New
York at the time of the autumnaI
strain in London and Paris, This year
foreign lenders have hesitated to make
even the usual advances in anticipa-
ton of the export of our merchandise
and the consequence is that there are
few maturing obligations of American
borrowers now falling due to offset the
debit accruing for the payment for
commodities we are exporting.
Foreign Crops Short.
The shortage of foreign crops and
the low level to which copper supplies
i'm Europe had been allowed to fall
leave no alternative to the buying of
our commodities, and the low level of
our securities tempted investment pur-
chases of these also for foreign ac-
count American bankers who have
purchased bills of exchange against
these exports have tkeir choice of
commanding payment in gold and have
exercised the choice. But with the en-
gagements of gold already accrued,
now rising above $50, 009, 900. and the
effect of relaxation manifest from the
supplies already received, New York
bankers are beginning to canvass the
desirability of more lenient exercise
of their control over the gold supplies.
The perturbation of foreign markets is
keenly manifested and signs are seen
/ of disposition to meet American ex-
actions by free offerings of American
securities to the New York market
/ The reflex action on American affairs
that may result from pushing demands
for more gold is coming into growing
considera ton.

How Ii Happened.

Boston, July 16.-At a late hour
yesterday afternoon, while the bat
tleship Georgia was several miles off
Provincetown, in Massachusetts, bay,
seven men were killed and 13 more
or less badly injured by an explosion
of powder, AS nearly as can be
learned, the circumstances are as
follows
The men were engaged in target
vessels of the battleships squadron
of the Atlantic fleet. The powder
had just been taken from the am
munition hoist to load an s-inch
gun. 1t was seen to be burning and
in an instont it exploded in the very
cace of the loader of the gun.
Vessel Not Damaged.
No damage was done to the vessel
as the powder was not confined and
early this evening, under orders from
Washington the Georgia sailed back
for the target grounds, off Province
town.
How the powder became ignited is
not yet known, but the theory held at
the navy yard, is that It was set off
by spark from the smoke stack of
the warship.
Immediately after the accident the
Georgia was headed for the Charles
town navy yard, where the dead and
injured were taken ashore. The
wounded men, being conveyed to the
naval hospital at Chelsea.

the Abner Weed ranch in Wood
River valley. is the first man to
bring in a genuine artesian well in

well until he found good. pure water.

Fifty pounds Of giant powder which
was stored In a blacksmith shop on
the Kidder farm, three miles west of
the city, was exploded by spark
from an anvil this afternoon and Leon
and Ed Kidder aged 10 and 81, were
horribly burned, the former perhaps
fatally.
The brothers were working on a
threshing machine preparatory to
starting harvest and were at work in
the blacksmith shop on their farm.
A 50-pound can of giant powder had
been stored in the building by an
other brother and a spark from the
redhot iron ignited 1t when a ter
rife explosion occurred, burning both
men badly.
Leon, the eldest of the brothers, is
horribly burned from his waist up,
and 1t is thought that his injuries may
prove fatal. The skin on the upper
portion of his body is practically
parched, his finger nails are burned
off and his hands badly scorched.
The other brother being farther
away from the powder at the time of
the explosion, was not so badly in
jured, but is also in serious condi-
ton, his face and hands being burned
terribly and his body somewhat
scorched.
The clothing was burned entirely off
the body of Leon, the elder brother,
and the force of the explosion wreck
ed the interior of the shop and set
fire to the building. The Greek Sec
ton gang on the o. r. & n. who were
working near, put out the fire and
