CLOUD WHEN SHE
FIRED ON BROWN
Mrs. Bradley Testifes That
the Killing Was Not
Premeditated
GIVES HER VERSION
Says That She Did Not Even
Remember the Tragedy
Afterward
ANNIE ADAMS LETTER
Love Epistle to Senator Said
to Have Incited Rival
to Murder
ANNIE ADAMS LETTER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2o.-That
Mrs. Bradley did not come to Wash
ington with any intention of killing
former Senator Arthur Brown of Utah
and did not even remember having
shot him was her statement to the
jury in her trial today. Judge Powers
brought out her story of the tragedy
in his examination in chief. This con-
sumed only few minutes and as soon
as he concluded District Attorney
Baker entered upon his cross examina-
ton. He devoted comparatively little
attention TO the shooting itself, but
went back TO the early days Of the re-
lationship. between Senator Brown. and
Mrs. Bradley and sought to show by
reading letters and questioning the wit
ness that she had undertaken deliber-
ately 10 break IN Senator Browns
home and was at enmity with Mrs.
Brown as early as 1901. He brought
out the fact that Mrs. Bradley and
Mrs. Brown had once been strong
friends and that this friendship ex-
tended beyond the time of the birth
OF Mrs. Bradley's first child by Brown.
RETAINS MORE CoMPoSURE
Mrs. Bradley was more composed to-
day than yesterdsy. There were times
when she burst into tears or sank into
sighs and sobs. but these were less fire.
quent than on Tuesday Her voice
was at all times indistinct and falter-
Ing, and she was heard with difficulty.
She made no complaint OF fatigue to-
day and left the witness stand in good
condition. She was dressed In the same
simple black gown she has worn since
the beginning OF the trial. relieved only
by a bit OF white lace about the throat.
The fact that upon first going to
Senator Browns room at the Raleigh
hotel Mrs. Bradley found there a letter
from Mrs. Annie Adams. the actress, to
the senator was dwelt upon by Judge
Powers. who viii attempt to show that
the discovery OF this letter supplied
the immediate motive for the killing
OF Brown.

DEFENDS RESOLUTION

Senator Leavitt defended the resolu-
ton and said that he had no desire to
plunge the banks of the state into
deeper turmoil. The governor, state
controller and other officials had exam
ined the resolutions and had given
them their approval. Leavitt said
Caminetti again claimed the floor
and in an impassioned appeal asked the
democratic members to vote against
the resolution. He declared that the
preamble would cause grave unrest in
the public mind and that the resolution
itself would permit the committee to
tear into the vitals of every bank in
the state.
Leavitt called attention to the fact
that the report would not be made until
the next session of the legislature and
that no harm would accrue to the
banks. Caminetti returned to the at
tack and moved that the resolution be
referred to the Judiciary committee.

PREAMBLE STRICKEN OUT

Senator'S Sanford and Belshaw then
spoke on the resolution They believed
with caminetti that the preamble, in
addition to being Unnecessary, was too
lurid and that 1t might cause unneces-
sary alarm among depositors. They
did not want the impression to go out
broadcast that the senate of California
thought that the banks of the state
were entirely responsible for present
financial conditions. The object of the
resolution was to secure an investiga-
tion into banking methods, and they
believed that the end could be attained
through the resolution without the Old
jectionable preamble. Sanford then
moved that he preamble be struck out
and that course was adopted, Leavitt
saying that he had no objection to
offer.
Anthony of San Francisco said that
the resolution was out of order, as it
provided for an expenditure of money.
and no provision had been made for

HThe Blood is Tie Life"

Science has never gone beyond tho above simple statement of scripture. But it has Illuminated that statement and given it a meaning ever broadening with the increasing breadth of knowledge. When the blood is bad or impure 1t is not alone the body which suffers through disease. The brain is also clouded, the mind and judgement are effected. and many an evil decd Or impure thought may be directly traced to the impurity of the blood. Foul. impure blood can be made pure by the use Of Dr. Piercc's Golden Medical Discovery. It enriches and purities the blood thereby curing, pimplcs, blotchcs, eruptionS and other cutaneous affections, aS eczema, letter, or salt. rheuT. hives and other manifestations of impure blood.
 @ e @ @ @ e
 In the cure of scrofulous swellings, en- iarged glands. open eating ulcers, CT old sores. the Golden Medical Discovery has performed the most marvellous cures. In cases of old sores, OF open eating ulcers, it is well to apply to the open sores Dr. Pierce's All-Healing Salvc, which pos sesses wonderful healing potency when used as an application to the sores in con junction with the use Of "Golden Medical Discovery as a blood cleansing consti- tutional treatment. If your druggist don't happen to have the 0All-Hoaling Salve in stock, you can easily procure it by inclosing fftv-four cents in postage stamps to pr. R. V. Pierce. G63 Main St. Buffalo, \. Y. and it will come to you by return post. Most druggists keep it as well as the oGolden Medical Discovery"

RAILROAD PROBLEM.

One very serious question that arises in connection with the physical situation of the railroads by the government is whether or not they shall be given in the valuation the benefit of the un- earned increment. This Is a matter that is being seriously considered by the Interstate Commerce Commission, though it has not yet said how it's decis ion will go. But the case was brought up sharply in the recent investigation of the Hill lines, where the actual and careful val nation of the property, including terminals and right of way, at the price of surrounding proper ty, footed up a total of about S590, O0G, ,000, while the officials of the road themselves confessed that the actual investment was not quite tenth of that amount. The same question would arise in determining the valuation of a land grant road as compared with road built entirely by pri vate purchase. The Interstate Commerce Commission expresses wish to be perfectly fair, both to the roads and to the public, when the question is finally set tied, but it will be very hard to do complete justice to both sides. As appears at first glance, the real value of a road and the amount of money put into it are two very different things. Of course there is compromise line somewhere, but it will take a Daniel to find it.

The New Saloon Law.

District Attorney R. E. Morrison of Prescott has rendered an opinion that women owning saloons can remain in them. He says: ''In my opinion, strictly construing the law, women who own saloons can work in them under the new law as they have under the cid.
 'The law prohibits any person or owner from permitting women 50 work OF loitef in saloons. The law grants the right to women to engage in any business in which man can engage. These two things taken together would indicate that women who own saloons can work in them.
 It has been suggested that this loop hole, if it can be considered such, will pat women back in all saloons. It has been suggested that saloons sell a part interest to women and under the law keep them in the saloons"
