AND COMMITTEE YESTERDAY.

The trustees and committee of the in
dustrial peace foundation met at the De-
partment Of Commerce and Labor yester-
day to organize and outline plans. Frank
lin McVeagh Of Chicago was elected
member Of the committee to fill the va
cancy caused by the non-acceptance Of
Elbert H. Gary. Mr.. McVeagh will repre-
sent the employers on the committee. A
resolution was passed requesting the COM
missioner of labor to investigate and report
upon the working of the various state
boards Of arbitration and conciliation, also
upon the Canadian act, as we'll as upon In
dustrial arbitration and conciliation boards
in other countries. and to present the re-
suit of his inquiries to the foundation for
guidance and information. and with the
view of bringing the arbitration and con-
ciliation boards of the several states
which have provided for such work In re-
lation with the Industrial peace founda-
ton.
A committee on bylaws and regulations
was appointed, consisting Of Mr.. Marcus
M. Marks, Archbishop John Ireland Sam
ue1 GOmpers and Commissioner Neill. 1t
was found that the organic act required
some amendment. so that the trustees Or
committee of nine named by these trus-
tees could act as one body when required
Commissioner Neill made a report In rela-
tion to the working of the Erdman act in
connection with the scope and object of
the foundation. During the meeting the
hope was expressed that the funds, now
consisting OF the Nobel peace prize that
was awarded to the President and which
was devoted by him to this foundation
would be largely increased by contrlbu-
tions. so that sufficient income would uI-
tInately be at the disposal of the trustees
to enable the foundation to effectively do
that work. as set forth in the act of Con-
gress Incorporating the foundation. Great
hope was also expressed by the various
members OF the board of trustees and Of
the industrial peace COMMITTEES that this
foundation would develop into the most
efficient body in any country in the world
for the promotion of Industrial peace.
The trustees and the committee took
luncheon with Secretary of Commerce and
Labor Straus at his residence. after which
an adjournment was taken, subject to the

exhibition and has Set all Paris to dis
cussing it.

sixty-five different costumes complete, a
dozen hats. a pIofusion of costly furs
and sables. acres OF linen and piles OF
dainty lingerie. The lingerie alone cost
$50, 900 the beautiful skirts ani other
garments which the bride viii wear on
her wedding day attracting especial at
tention. The princess has been the sub

cause the entire trousseau was purchased
at a single house, and that not French
but an Austrian house.

ARCHITECTS IN SESSION
MEET ON CALL, BUT TRANSACT
NO BUSINESS.
Resolution Adopted, However, Ap-
proving Deliverance Of Local

The Washington Society of Architects
met at its rooms. 729 18th strest. last
night, but transacted no business. al
though the melting lasted seceral hours
AS matter of fact II passed a rcsolu-
tion approving the east end q, tho ~

ruling OF the chair, supported by a ma
Jority or the members, this was not
business.
The president Of the society, r. waddv

on the site of the monument NAV he
made at that time. Consequently notices

lutlons embodied the ideas Of the So

Mr. Sunderland Protests.
Thereupon David o. Sunderland rose
to protest He wanted to know at onoa
among other things. whether there was
to be no discussion on this notion nv
whether the society was to rush head
long into the question and railr,ad the
resolution through without so much as
by your leave. Furthermore, he de-
c!ared that the meeting had no right.
according to the bylaws to transact
business any way, and in support of his
contention he read from the bylaws
the plain and unvarnised rule that no
meeting to transact business should be
called without notice of at least four
days Mr Sunderland was very much
in earnest but his obvious and self
explanatory evidence did not affect the
president. who promptly overruled the
point of order made by the protestant
President Wood said that the meet
Ing was not called to transact busi- :
ness, but merely to take action upon the
site or the Grant memorial and to de-
eide about the spring exhibition OF the
society
Mr.. Sunderland was not convinced by
this method of reasoning and appealed,
forcibly and frequently. from the decision
of the chair. After much advice had been
preferred from all sides and three-auar-
ters of an hour consumed in discussion
of the intricate windings Of the question
that had started out SO clearly, the appeal
was at last submitted to the house, and
Mr.. Wood was supported by big vote,
only two members agreeing with Mr. Sun
derland. The meeting then proceeded
calmly with the non-transaction of busi-
ness.
This consisted in passing, unanimously.
the motion to approve the resolution of

Iron Mountain and Southern railroad.
Judge Trieber in the United States cir
cult court here late today granted a
temporary injunction restraining the rail-
road commission of this state from col

alleged discrimination in favor of mines

COLONEL ESTILL DEAD
LAST FORM LOCKED FOR WELL
KNOWN EDITOR.

SAVANNAH. Ga. November 9.-John
Holbrook Estill died tonight at 1915
O'Clock at his home at Isle of Hope near
this city He had been i'll from heart
trouble since last April.
Col. Estll was best known as the pro-
prietor of the Savannah Morning News
though his business connections were
varied and extensive. He was also widely
known politically because Of two cam
paigns he made for governor. The first
was in 1902, when he made very strong
race, and the second in 1908. In 1882 he
was chairman Of the state democratic ex-
ecutive committee, and in 1892 he was the
member for Georgia on the democratic
national committee. as-
Col Estill was born in Charleston, s. c..
October %. 1910. Eleven years later he
came to Savannah and secured a job in a
printing Office. Upon the outbreak OF the
civil war he went with the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry. under Bartows command,
to join the Army of Northern Virginia.
He was wounded at the first battle Of
for disability. Later he Joined the volun-
teer forces at Savannah and opposed
Sherman's march to the sea.
Started Life Anew.
After the war, though left penniless.
Col Estill devoted himself closely to busi-
ness. In 1867, having been in the printing
or newspaper business in the meantime,
he purchased a half interest in the Morn
ing News, and two years later secured
the entire control. For twenty years he
was president of the Georgia Press AS
sociation.
Many business and charitable enterprises
in Savannah have felt the impetus Of
Col Estills management or association.
Perhaps next to the Morning News, the
institution that has received the greatest
measure Of his attention and interest Is
the Bethesda Orphanage for Boys. which
was founded by George Whitehead more
than century and half ago. For more
than quarter OF a century Col Estill
was president Of the Union Society, by
which the orphanae is managed Col

ner. and he was expected to be the first
and principal speaker of those invited.
Mr.. BRYAN himself is to be the last
speaker. and. of course, will make the
principal address. 1t is understood that
the speakers are not expected TO commit
themselves to Mr.. Bryan for the presi-
dency; nevertheless. the dinner is looked
upon as an effort TO launch his candi-
dacy for the place.
Senator Rayner said that the gentlemen
who are getting up the affair are all
friends of his. and that. while he under
stood the dinner is to be in honor OF Mr..
Bryan. it was not intended as an initial
move in his favor for the presidency
Il would like said the senator, ito
attend any gathering that does honor to
Mr.. Bryan. and l am, therefore. very
sorry that l have been compelled to notify
the committee today that it will be i'm
possible for me to attend the dinner for
reasons that I have given them in my
communication"

ply to her query concerning the presence
OF Mr.. Brown in the Raleigh Hotel re-
suited In Mrs. Bradley being assigned to a
room on the same floor as the former
senator.
Obviously Mrs. Bradley was de-
termined not to be thwarted in her de-
mands, because, when she went to Mr..
bfown S room, she carried a small bag.
and In 1t modern self-acting revolver.
As she related the story aftarward,
Brown practically dared Mrs. bradley
to shoot after she had drawn the
weapon. and shoot she did without fur

the bullet went between Senator
Browns fingers as he spread lis arms
across his abdomen. but later examina-
t1on OF the weapon showed that two
cartridges were discharged. and all per-
sons within hearing declared two shots
had been fired

was prepared for shipment to the late
senator's former home in Utah. Mrs.
Bradley was permitted to view the body

During her long Incarceration Mrs.
Bradley has borne up remarkably well,
but once during the past summer she
suffered severe illness, and, an opera
ton being deemed imperative, she was
removed to one Of the local hospitals
She remained a patient there for sew
eral weeks.
Several names have been connected with
the Brown Bradley case within the past
year, most prominent among them being
that Of Mrs. Anna c. Adams, mother of
haude Adams the actress. 1t was claimed
that jealousy of Mrs. Adams, who she
supposed to be engaged to marry former
Senator Brown. prompted Mrs Bradley to
fire the fatal shot. and Mrs. Adams will
be one OF the witnesses called to the
stand this week.
Mrs. Bradley will be cheered during the
ordeal of the trial by her two little sons,
Arthur and Montgomery, and her mother,
Mrs. Madison. who reached Washington

some measure right the wrong which she

establish some small business so that she
might support the two little boys. Arthur

sons. Just what passed between the
couple in the room has never been fully
divulged. because Mrs. Bradley steadily
refused to ScuSS that last conversation,
and the victim of her shot died without
unsealing his lips
One or two guests at the hotel who

get the craftsmanship of the committee on
