Especial to The Herald.)

Washington, July 13.-Mrs.. Anna NJ.
Bradley spent an hour and a half upon
an operating table at the George
Washington University hospital this
afternoon, undergoing a severe surgi-
cal operation. The operating surgeon,
DR. H. L. Johnson, said this evening
that his patient stood the operation all
right, and that her complete recovery
could be expected. In surgical terms,
the operation consisted of the removal
of a diseased membrane surrounding
the cervix, the trouble having lasted so
long that it has materially affected the
patients general health and has been
especially injurious TO her nervous sys-
tenn.
1t is expected that early next week
Judge Wright of the district criminal
court will call for affidavits from Drs.
Johnson and Shute, the latter being the
Jail physician, so that Mrs. Bradley's
actual physical condition may be taken
into consideration by the court in con-
nection with the application made by
her counsel to have her admitted to

BURGLARS AND HOLOUPS
Epidemic Of Crime at Goldfeld-
Safe in Postofiee of Suburb
Dynamited.

Goldfield, New, July 13.-ThTee bur-
glars, one a female in disguise. dyna-
mited the safe in the pOstoffice at Co
lumbia this morning at 2:S0.
Columbia is a suburb of Goldf1eld.
The explosion was heard by Deputy
Sheriff Owens and Judge Solomon, who
made a desperate effort to capture the
trio.
Two Of them got away in a fusillade
from automatic pistols in the hands of
the officers. Charles Morton, the third
burglar fell and drew his gun, but he
was oyerpowered before he could fire
a shot. He was brought to Goldfield
this morning and placed in the county
jail.
Two masked men, one carrying a
shotgun and the other a revolver, held
up The Inn, a Columbia street saloon,
last night about midnight, taking $3.50
from the crap table and Sl6S from the
cash register.
The seven men in the place at the
time of the hold-up were lined up and
searched for weapons, but their valua-
bles were not taken. After the hold
up the two robbers backed out of the
door and escaped.

]. P. MORGAN IN
WITNESS CHAIR
American FinanCier Denies All
knowledge of Mrs. Leslie
in Police Court.

London, July III. Pierpont Morgan
appeared in the West London police
court today as a witness in the case
of Mrs. Josephine Leslie, who was ar
rested at Newmarket July 4, charged
with defrauding members of we'll
known families by false pretenses, and
who represented herself to be a friend
of Mr.. Morgan. The latter repudiated
all knowledge Of Mrs. Leslie. He said
he did not write to her advising her to
join one of his syndicates, and never
invited Mrs. Leslie, as alleged, to dine
at his sons house. As a matter of fact,
Mr.. Morgan added, he was in New
York at the time of the alleged invita-
ton.
On cross-examination, Mr.. Morgan
said he did not remember any invita-
ton being sent to George Eastwicz, the
prisoners father, for a public dinner
which Mr.. Morgan gave in New York.
Interest Too Large.
Mr.. Morgan was sure that his firm
had no customer of that name, and he
said it was improbable that any of his
business friends would speak of invest
ments returning II per cent, which Mrs.
Leslie said was to be the interest on
money invested in the ALLEGED Morgan
syndicate.
I do not know many Of that charac-
ter" said Mr.. Morgan in conclusion.
After the plaintiff, Miss Annie Blount,
had testified briefly that she was in
duced to give Mrs. Leslie $40, 800 on the
strength Of letters purporting to have
been written by Mr.. Morgan promising
huge returns, the case was adjourned.

ton in trans-continental business
among the Hartman lines, and the
commission indicates that that is the
matter of large significance developed
in its inquiry.
Special Difference is made to the deal
by which Mr.. Hartman secured con-
troll Of the San Pedro road and the
manipulation of the Chicago & Alton,
very careful synopsis of the financial
operations in both instances being
given. Concerning the Chicago & Alton
transaction the commission says:
1T was admitted by Mr.. Hartman
that there was about $4,000 900 of stock
and liabilities issued against which no
property had been acquired. and this
is undoubtedly an accurate estimate"
The commission further says concern
ing the Alton deal that lit is evident
that it's history is rich in illustrations
Of various methods of indefensible
financing"
CONCLUSIONS Reached.
In its conclusions the commission
says:
"The effect Of the control of the
Southern Pacific by the Union Pacific
has been to unity and amalgamate the
management of these two roads and
steamship lines and to eliminate COM
DSULlOn between lUeIl III lIdllSCDIALiAtcH-
tai business and in business to and
from oriental ports.
The joint control of the Alton rail-
way by the Union Pacific and the Chi
cago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway
companies undoubtedly eliminated COM
petition between the Alton and the
Rock Island between Chicago, st. Louis
and Kansas City.
These are conspicuous illustrations
of the community of interests and
harmony of management which Mr..
Hartman suggested when he demand
ed representation upon the Santa Fe
board.
If the policy Of purchasing and con-
trolling stocks in competing lines is
permitted to continue it must mean
suppression of competition"
Recommendation Are General.
The recommendations of the commits
sion, which are more general than spe-
cifc in terms ad application, say that
the function of a railroad corporation
should be confined to the furnishing Of
transportation and that railways
should not be permitted to invest gen
orally in the securities of other rail-
way and steamship companies except
connecting lines for the purpose Of
forming through routes Of transporta-

DEFECTS IN THE
BIG WARSHIPS
Frank Statement of Rear Ad-
miraI BroWnSon Regard
ing Known Facts.

Washington, July 13.-Regarding a
series Of special articles IN a service
publication, which have been 10 some
extent reproduced in the day press,
criticising adversely the battleships OF
the navy, Rear Admiral BrownsOn to-
day said in substances:
THAT there are defects in the Ore
gon. the Kentucky and the Kearsarge
is well known; in fact, the defects
were discovered before the completion
of those ships. but the wonder is that
there were so few defects considering
that they were the first heavy battle
ships built in this country. Compared
10 the battleships of other nations de-
signed and built at the same time, the
Oregon class was conspicuously super
for; in fact, that class was referred TO
bv the leading British technical papers
at the time as the peerless battle
ship, and the interior arrangement and
other points were Of special excellence.
Armor Badly Placed.
ct is true that their armor was bad
" placed, but that arose from the ad-
dition to the ships of a great amount Of
material, stores and machinery not in
cIuded In the original design. 1t is
also true that they lacked balanced
turrets. but when they were built there
was no such turrets in any navy.
Their eight-inch ammunition tubes
also were not sufficiently protected As
TO the criticism directed at the larger
size of the ports In the turrets, this has
been corrected IN later designs by
bringing the trunnions of the guns
nearer to the front of the tuTrets, so
that the battieships of later design are
free from this defect. AS to the gun
platforms, the Oregon class has no su-
perior, and even at this late date they
would give a good account of them
selves in action. In fact, taking every
thing into consideration, it is only sur
prising that We built as good ships at
that time

rant was placed in the hands of Sheriff
Hodgin Of Ada county, who at once lete-
graphed the authorities at McGee's
hOme to make the arrest.
A crowded court room, somewhat
bored by legal commonplace, sprang to
strained attention at the close Of the
second session of the Haywood trial
today when William Dewey, a witness
in rebuttal for the state, confessed to
active armed participation in the de-
struction of the Bunker Hill and Sui
livan concentration at Wardner on April
90 1899, when two men were killed and
q mob Of a thousand men participated
in the riot.
Direct Conflict in Testimony.
Harry Orchard commenced his series
Of great crimes at Wardner. He con-
fessed TO lighting one of the fuses that
started the explosion, and he swOre
that William +. Davis. known among
his fellows as Big Bilp' Davis, led the
mob. Witnesses for the defense have
sworn that Orchard was not at Ward
mes on April 20. Davis himself has
sworn to having been elsewhere, and
positively denied any connection with
the crime for completely in which Paul
Corcoran was tried and convicted and
some ten or a dozen men, including
Davis himself, were indicted by the
grand jury. Davis on the stand ad-
mitted that he went into hiding tmme-
diately after the rioting.
Dewey swore today that not only did

RESULTS Of WAR
WITH JAPANESE
Army and Navy Officers Alleged
to Have ForeCaSted AW-
full Consequences.

Chicago, July 13.--A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Terrible would be the results of war
between the United States and Japan
and slight in comparison would be the
advantage to the victor, in the judg-
ment Of high army and navy officers
in Washington.
Statistics which have been collected
by the military departments forecast
appalling consequences and justify the
demand that jingdism cease its efforts
to promote a conflict. These statistics
are based upon results Of the war be-
tween Russia and Japan, and of that
between the United States and Spain.
According to statements made at the
war and navy departments yesterday,
the consequences of a war between the
United States and Japan would in
clude:
Destruction of fleet of one or other
of the combatants.
Loss of territory by vanquished.
Blockade of ports.
AnnihiIation of Commerce.
Vast injury to commerce Of both,
but especially of loser.
Tremendous loss of life.
Heavy additions to naval debts and
consequent increase in taxation.
Loss of prestige by nation suing for
peace.
The conqueror would enjoy these
fruits of victory.
Additional territory: In case the
United States triumphed Island of
Formosa; Europe, especially Russia,
would oppose American succession of
Japan as a protector of Korea and oc-
cupation of japanese islands would be
impossible.
In case Japan were victorious: Phil
ippine island possessions, Tutuila, Ha-
wall and perhaps Alaska and Panama
canal zone, though these last named
are doubtful.
Larger claim to control Pacific
ocean, which claim would be contest
ed by the other maritime nations
