FORMER SENATOR BROWN DEAD.
Shot by Mrs. Bradley, Who Followed
Him to Washington From Utah.

Washington, D.:C.-Former United
States Senator Arthur Brown, OF
Utah, who was shot in his apartments
at the Hotel Raleigh by Mrs. Anna M.
Bradley, of Salt Lake City, died at
the Emergency Hospital.
Mr.. Brown came to the Senate in
1896, when Utah was admitted to
the Union. He served about fifteen
months. He had been prominent as
a criminal lawyer in Utah. 1t was
to appear as counsel before the Su-
preme Court of the United States in
a mining case that he came to Wash
ington, where he was followed by
Mrs. Bradley, who, it is said, learned.
of his appointment to meet Mrs.
Annie Adams, mother of Maude
Adams, the actress, in New York
after he had appeared before the Su-
preme Court.
She left home for Washington i'm
mediately and registered at the Hotel
Raleigh as "Mrs. Anna Brown" and
was assigned to a room a Senator
Browns. Senator Brown after he
was taken to the hospital said he
found Mrs. Bradley in his room going
through his private papers. She de-
manded that he marry her at once,
and when he refused she fired the
shot which proved fatal. There was
no eyewitness of the tragedy.

Refused the Queens Invitation.

Madame Antoinette Sterling, the
American singer, once unconsciously
committed a breach of etiquette;
which is recorded in the sons res
cent memoir of his mother. Queen
Victoria commanded Madame St@l-
ing to- sing before her. Without any
thought of offending, the singer re-
piled simply that she was sorry, but
on the evening designated she was
engaged to sing for a charity; she
would be pleased to sing for her mai
esty the next week.
The CONSERVATION among court: Of
fcials was great. What would have
happened If the singer had not been
prevailed upon to break her engage.
ment and comply with the queens
behest only a Lord Chamberlain
knows.
Even a Lord Chamberlain could
not prevail on her to break her rigid
resolution against wearing a low.
dress at a concert, and court Gus
tom had to yield to her.
The queen took. unconscious re-
venge on the American by present
ing her with a tea service, for Mad
anne Sterling kept all her life a child
ish resolution never to drink tea be-
cause the splitting of the tea in Bos-
ton harbor was the symbol Of Ameri-
car defiance of England.

The President Determined. :

Washington, D. C.-ThatP President
Roosevelt has taken a determined in
terest with a view to finding legisla-
tire remedy for the a shortage in
the Northwest, which now threatens
the people with freezing and starva-
ton because the railroads are unable
to transport fuel and food to them,
was indicated by 4 conference at the
White House. The President sent for
Senator Hansbrough and asked him
whether the actual danger Is as great
as has been reported by press dis
patches and kilograms from indi-
Viduals.
The North Dakota Senator re-
ported that from dispatches he has
received the statement of conditions
in his State, Minnesota and South Da-
kota has not been exaggerated. TIE
President promised to give the cues
ton, his personal attention with a
view to alternating any immediate
suffering, and said he desired Senator
Hansbrough to devote time and

COAL SHORTAGE WORSE
Governors of Western States TO
Compel Moving Of Trains.
Situation Up to the Railroads, as
Shippers Are Unable to Obtain
Cars-Militia May Act.

Minneapolis, Minn,-With the cold
wave signal flying, the coal shortage
in the Northwest becomes not only a
cause of severe suffering, but an abb
solute menac to human life,
Glenburn, N. D., is seriously con.
sidering an appeal to the Governors
of North Dakota and Minnesota to
employ the State militia in forcing
the moving of coal trains. Eveleths
Mimi, faces darkness and suffering
through deprivation Of coal, and ap-
~prehensive reports have come from
numerous other places. :
The Glenburn, N. ID situation is
summed up in a statement from the
Glenburn Commercial Club, as fol-
lows q : ~ 20
"The dealers advise that the situa-
ton is entirely up to the railroads..
as shippers are unable to obtain cars
to load with coal. We will wire Gov
ernor Searles, requesting him to take
up, the matter with Governor John
son, Of Minnesota, and, If necessary,
call out the militia Of the two States
to run coal trains.
"The situation all through this sec
ton is desperate, and with the liabil-.
ity of billiards. at any time many may
freeze to death If fuel is not avail
able soon. Farmers are already COM
ing to town with reports Of burning
sheds and other outhouses for fuel:
We have notified the farmers that II
the worst comes they can bring their
families and bedding and camp in
our four-room brick schoolhouse. We
have sufficient coal to heat the build
ing for three months at least, and 1t
will go further in this way than 1t
would If distributed among those who
are out Of coal, as it would. not make
a bushel each.
1--WE will also wire our Senator'S at
washington asking their. interest
with the Federal Government. We
cannot put our words strong enough
to convey to you the Importance of
getting railroads to haul special
trains of coal into the section that is
suffering. Ignite is unavailable, as
the same handicap Is met there. We
telephoned the Burlington mines and
asked If they could not let us have
five cars If we sent men there to load
them. } They replied they were sixty
cars or more back in orders and could
not obtain cars to load. Farmers
cannot go to the mines and haul more
than 1000 to 1900 pounds, as the
roads are almost impossible"

BAD BANK FAILURE ALARMS
State May Lose by Collapse OF
Waynesburg (Pa.) Institution.
Pennsylvania Deposit of $4,000 is
in Danger-Depositors Not Alarmed
Many Wealthy Men Liable.

Pittsburg. Pa.-Benjamin F. Mea-
sey, cashier for State Treasurer Will
lam F. Berry, reached Waynesburg,
having been hurriedly sent there by
the State Treasurer to try to ascer-
tain whether the bondsmen of the
defunct Farmers and Drovers, Ma
tional Bank will make good the $751;
900 of State funds on deposit there.
Much alarm is felt for the safety
of the deposit, and the indications
are that the State will have to take
chances with the other depositors.
In that case, criminal action will be
begun at nee against the bank Off
Gals by the State.
It was found that the minute book
of the bank, containing the names Of
the bondsmen, had disappeared. The
bond on file at Harrisburg contains
the names of fourteen men: M. Say
-ers, George W.. Gordon, Samuel Har-
vey, G. H. Moredock, George N, Rine-
hart, j.. B.. F. Rinehart, Daniel S.
Walton, Samuel M. Smith, C. H.
Bowlby, A. B. Reese, w. A.. Hook, j.
B. Donley, S. W. Scott and John I.
Worley. How many Of these are still
on the bond can only be told by the
missing minute book. Of the four
teen men J. B. F. Rinehart is the
cashier under arrest. Daniel S. Wal
ton is the president of the bank, and
John I. Worley is dead. The State
Treasurer's cashier will try to learn
who the present bondsmen are.
It became known that there were
rumors of crookedness in the affairs
of the Waynesburg Bank more than
a year ago, when the fight for State
Treasurer was on and when many
banks were being attacked from the
stump. At that time it's affairs were
in such serious shape that it might
have been forced to the wall, and it
was not brought publicly into the
controversy.
- Six months ago the Government
was cognizant of the affairs of the
bank, it was said. Previous to June
1 the Controller of the Currency de-
manded the resignation of Rinehart
as cashier. The resignation was
handed in, and Harry George, assist
ant to National Bank Examiner Cum
bingham. was placed in the bank
with the title of assistant cashier, the
position of cashier being held open.
Rinehart continued as vice-president,
and the public never knew that he
had ceased to be cashier. -
The people of Waynesburg are not
alarmed ove the failure, as promin-
ent and wealthy men are behind the
Institution. The s~hopkeepers are
cashing checks on the closed bank in
the belief the paper will be redeemed.

WHEAT ON GROUND
FOR WANT Of CARS
Western Farmers Are Unable to
Market Their Grain.
USING 0UTBUILDlNGS FOR FUEL

Lack Of Material and Labor Impedes
Manufacture of New Rolling
Stock-President Roosevelt In
terested.
Minneapolis, Minn.-The second
day of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission inquiry into Northwest trans
portation conditionsbrought out facts
of first Importance relative; to the
effects upon the country Of the grain
blockade. The commission had given
over the first day largely to the fuel
inquiry, with the idea of relieving dis
tress, and to this end hadtsent out
kilograms of inquiry to many points
asking as to the coal supply and how
long it would last. :
kilograms began to- pour in and
when representatives were in from
over twenty towns it was clear that
the commission had acted none too
quickly in securing the promise OF
cooperation on the part of the coal
companies and the railroads in reliev-
ing distress, for in some localities
farmers have been"~burning their
fences and outbuildings, and in other
towns piles of valuable lumber were
cut up into fuel to keep people from
freezing.
The farmers got into the inquiry
later. They came in numbers from
North Dakota and told the commits
sion the story of the effect Of the
blockade upon the price Of wheat.
They said prices have been depressed
abnormally because elevators were
full; that wheat lay on the ground
at many points; that there was no
open market and the farmers had
either to sacrifice in price or haul
the wheat back home again after
having offered it, in some cases two
or three times. "a TO- F
E. J. Weiser, vice-president of the
First National Bank, of Fargo; A. E.
SWenson, president of the Security
State Bank, of Barlow, and other
North Dakota bankers and farmers,
gave testimony to show that failure
to move the crops put the country
commercially in straitened condi-
lions. Farmers who had ample
means to meet all obligations if they
had been able to turn the product
into cash could not market their
grain, and so the effect was felt all
along the line. :, :
The commission gave much atten-
ton to car service and competing and
non-competitive points. also to
further testimony respecting time in
transit on shipments. Many more
instances of cars in transit for a
month OF. more, over a. short haul,
were offered.
The" commission expressed itself as
startled at some of the reports sent to
it, upon inquiry, from localities bare
of fuel, and said that the inquiry had
opened up much new information and
has so far shown a situation more
serious in every respect than they
had expected to find when they de-
cided TO begin the investigation.

Observation-Disclosures
Husband Killed in Greenwich,
Conn, Hotel
His Death Occurred Within Ten Min.
utes After He Announced His Mar
riage-Wife Arrestedin New York.

Greenwich, Conn.-Joseph M. Neil,
a blacksmith, tw%enty-six years old,
whose parents live in New York and
who had a large business on the
Belle Haven Road, met death in the
Greenwich Hotel, where he and his
bride of a few weeks had gone onlya
few minutes before. =
That he was killed there Is no
doubt. Whether it was murder, an
accident or the result of a sudden
quarrel are questions the authorities
are trying to solve.
Neil was an athlete. Last spring
be was pitted against Gus Rubin IN
der a fictitious name. He had a pros
porous business and was supposed to
be a bachelor. .
During the afternoon a woman
about twenty-three years old entered
his shop and workmen heard loud
words. That night at 9.25 he en-
tered the Greenwich Hotel carrying a
suit case and accompanied by the
same woman. He told the landlord
be wanted the bridal chamber.
Ten minutes later the woman came
down stairs and asked that a physi-
clan be called. DR.. L. o. Thompson
responded. He found Neil dead, fully
dressed, lying on the floor. There
was a dark spot under his right eye,
and some blood on the floor. , The
woman gave no explanation, saying
he had suddenly dropped to the floor
dead. IL
His face was bruised and scratched
and the woman's face was scratched,
too.
While the physician was examining
the body the woman took the suit
case, and saying she would spend
the night with her mother in New
York and return in the morning, she
went to the station and took a west
bound train. The death was not re-
ported to the police until after she
had left town.
The body was removed to Knapp's
morgue and next day an autopsy, was
made, which showed that death had
been caused by the brain being
pierced by some pointed instrument,
possibly. hatpin or nail file which
were found on the floor.
It has been found out that Neil
decided his property here to his sister
Nellie, of New York, in November,
and took the original deed from the
Town Clerks Office, where it had
been recorded, during, the afternoon.
It is assumed that when this deed
came to the eyes of Mrs. Neil it may
have led to a>quarrel.
New York City.-Chief of Police
Ritch, of Greenwich, came to Police
Headquarters here with a warrant for
the Arrest of Mrs. Neil on a charge OF
manslaughter sworn out by Prose-
cutting Attorney Henry B. White, OF
Greenwich. 49,.
Detective Sergeant Butler was as
signed to assist Chief Ritch. Mrs.
Neil was arrested at her mothers
fat, 1876 East Ninety-ffth street,
where Mrs. Neil had told the doctor
who&was called when her husband
was found dead in Greenwich that
she was going. Z n. f'i.. IN
She was h~ysterical. Mrs. Neil was
brought to Headquarters in a cab and
her record was taken. In view of
her hysterical condition, she was
taken in an ambulance to the prison
ward of Bellevue Hospital.

Honest Injun Of North Country.

Many curious instances ofithe man
Ter in which the honesty OF the In
dams manifeBts itself are cited in the
North Country Of the Canadian
Northwest.
One of the tales Is of a native who,
desiring food and tobacco and blank
cts, broke into the store OF a remote
and abandoned for a few weeks
while the white man; In charge trans-
acted business elsewhere. The Indian
supplied his needs, but, according I'd
the World, he left pelts in payment
for what he took and months later
he can ) back to ascertain IL he had
left enough.
One Indian found a post closed
when he went to 1t to dispose OF his
skins. Being unwilling to wait, he
forcibly entered and left his pack
but nothing wifi it to indicate his
identity. Then he retired, fastening
the door as: best he could, and not
until a year later did he return.
When he walked into the cost and
told his story the price OF the. skins
was handed over to him without
question. The accounts OF, the2White
man had been carefully kept andshe
was certain that no claim but just
one would be made. Z
An unusual degree Of confidence Is
reposed In the half-breeds.i who are
lieutenants of the white traders, In
Edmonton I saw a trader. give one of
his half-breed employees $1250Sto be-
taken to a distant post and there dis
tributed as wages to others. The two
shook hands and parted, not to- meet
for a year, and the white man said
he was sure not a cent Of the money
would fail to reach Its rightfuI des-
tination.
In the town of Edmonton itself
honesty seems to vie with hospital
lily for the credit of being the most
prominent trait of the citizens.
Scores Of thousands of dollars, worth
Of furs are stored there in ware
houses which are seldom or never
locked or guarded.
Only the most valuable pelts are
put under lock and key, and then the
purpose is more to protect from acci-
dental damage than from possible
theft.
