ATTORNEYS TALK
Prosecutor in the Bradley Case Says Woman is Saue- Wur-
 der Deliberately Planned
NO UNWRITTEN LAW

Washington, Nov. 30.-The pro- ceedings to-day in the trial of Mrs Annie M. Bradley, charged with the shooting and killing of former Sen- ator Arthur M. Brown of Utah, in this city last December were devoted to hearing arguments by attorneys on both sides of the case. The court room was unable to accommodate the great throng who came to witness the last scenes in the tragedy that has attracted national attention for near ly a year. Many of the attendants were women and some of them ar rived at the city hall long before the doors of the court room were opened in order to secure desirable positions from which to witness the events of the day.
 Mrs Bradley took her accustomed place in court where she could be plainly seen by the jurors and very near her counsel.
 Assistant District Attorney Turner opened for the government and he was followed by MT Wells of counsel for the defense. .-,..'-
 Charles H. Turner, assistant dis trict attorney, defined the law in re- lation to the crime, that had been committed and followed with review of the testimony.
 While he was describing the scene of the killing of Senator Brown, an attendant delivered to the district attorney a small package containing the pistol that had been used by Mrs Bradley. The defendant evidently recognized the weapon as it was un- covered and laid at convenient place near the speaker. She lowered her head and her frame was shaken by sob. Closing her eyes she re- mained as if in stupor, only occa- sionally looking toward the jury.
 The attorney insisted that the jury should cast aside all sentiment and treat the case exactly as if man had done a shooting. He exhibited the defendants pistol to the jury to- gether with the hand bag in which it had been carried from Salt Lake City until Senator Brown was shot,
 District Attorney Turner conclud- ed his address by stating that the act of Mrs Bradley was that of a sane woman and was deliberately planned. Attorney Robert Wells who spoke for the defense said that they would not appeal to the unwritten law but to the law of the land which safeguarded defenseless women. He concluded at 12:45 and then court adjourned until Monday.

On account of i'll health he had been staying in the country. Miss Hatch was visit ing the Heaths. Mrs Heath, the mother of the young man, is pros trated, and is said to be in a serious condition.

THE SEVEN HOUR DAY.
The City Laborers Lose By The Re.
 duntinn in Time

Considerable dissatisfaction exists among the wing of the street depart ment known as sweepers and it is likely that the mayor and board of public works will be asked to look into the matter. Several years ago nine hours was made to constitute a days work on the water, sewer and street departments and it has remain ed so ever since, even the business ad- ministration not caring to tamper with it. Whether it was due to the dull season or some other cause is not generally known. but recently the sweepers were put on seven hours per day schedule. which results in throwing them out of the benefits that come from the short work day. They go to work at o'clock and quit at 4 and get paid for the actual time they put in. Naturally this has caused a lot of uneasiness and while it is not likely to last very long. yet some claim it has come to stay and claim to have inside information to the ef- feet that hereafter the men who ply the broom and wheel about the little Eureka cafIS will not be permitted to worl! over seven hours per day. This would be all right provided they got full time, but under existing condi- tions it isn't popular and it never will be. It is said that Waterbury pays its common lahorers less than any other town in the state and gets more out of them. The business of sweep ing the streets is a mean job and mo- body would he likely to keep at it long if he could get anything else. It is positively dangerous and re- ouires one to he constantly on the lockout for all kinds of vehicles. in cluding trolley cars and automobiles, so that between the broom. the Flu reka cart the boss. and the teams
 the sweepers are kept on the go about all the time. and the least they ought to get out of it is full days wages, whether they work nine hours or less.

STORM OF ASHES.
Streets of Nome Covered With a Fine
 Gritty Powder.

Nome, Alaska, Nov 30.-Nome and probably the entire Seward peninsula is shrOuded in an ashy haze and the ground for miles is covered several inches with fine gritty powder which is believed to be volcanic ash.
 The storm began several days ago, the dust blowing in from the ocean, but at first little attention was paid to the freak of nature, as it was ex- pected that it would soon cease. h. sead, however, the fall continued, and after a day became so dense as seri- ously to interfere with out of door pursuits. Miners coming into town reported that for miles the snow was so impregnated with the ashes that sledding was almost impossible. Fur ther, the air Is so full of ashes that breathing is difficult and the fine pow der has sifted in houses and business places to such an extent that it is thick on floors and on everything in the way of goods and hOusehA :, fur niture. It is believed that some one of the numerous volcanic islands be- tween this coast and Siberia are again in eruption and that the ashy down. pour is the result.
 Much inconvenience is being caused by the peculiar storm.

 the Lash.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Clubs, hotels, dancing parties and social organiza- tions of all kinds are to be the next to feel the lash of the law and order league.

 The first Sunday bar in hotel to be attacked will be the Pompeiian room in the Auditorium Annex.
 Because of the greater difficulty in getting evidence against the clubs the saloons were attacked first. In the sorties to be made in the future by the leagues investigators the bar rooms in clubs in fashionable hotels will be brought under the limelight.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MAh.>ET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the LEADING Stocks.

New York, March 1.-The inconsistency
of the current stock market was enpha-
sized by it's erratic movements today.
Hitherto this week the abrupt reversais
have come on succeeding days. To-Day
the range was rotraced before the eXp-
ration of the session. Severe declines
were shown at one time during the day
and these were practically all wiped out
by subsequent rally. Transactions were
on a considerable scale, but were largely
congested in IL few active stocks. The
constant fluctuations of prices. point to
Il professional origin for the greater part
Of the transactions. Some OF the spe cial
weakness today was attributed to the at
termath OF the Hartman inquiry and to
suggestions of new directions which flu
ture prosecution of the inquiry might
take. The sharp declines in the Hill
stocks wera connected with these suppo-
sitionS. Reading continued Il center OF
attack and rumors persisted OF forth
coming large note issue by the company.
Canadian Pacific offered report of
earnings for January in which a decline
in gross earnings combined with an in
crease in operating expenses to make u
wide decline in net earnings compared
with last year. The same tendency was
observable in some ether less important
railroads reporting.
The late rally in stocks was only slight
ly impaired and the closing tone was
slightly Irregular.
Bonds We're heavy. Total sales, par
value, S1,4SSOo0. United States bonds were
unchanged On call.

The Revival Services.

OF more than usual interest were the
revival services which were conducted
by Rev. Bowley Green Friday.
The afternoon general service opened
with hymn and prayer. Mr.. Lamb. the
Gospel singer, sang a solo 'In Beth
any, Mr.. Green read Revelations XXX
as the Scripture lesson. and his text
was "And there was no more sea. And
l saw a new Heaven and a new earth
The subject of the speakers discourse
was Heaven and the sermon proved
to be helpful one.
AZ O'Clock a meeting for boys was
held and this also proved to be of great
profit.
There was large attendance at the
evening meeting as this was the last
evening meeting of the week before the
Sunday services. The address of the
evening, by the evangelist. Rev. Bow
Icy Green, was very impressive and
helpful. A large number rose fol-
prayers at the close of the services.
