WHERE THE MONEY GOES

The investigation now being made
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission of various matters concern
ing the railroads of the country has
brought to light some remarkable
financial juggling on the part OF +.
III. Hartman and his associates and
Mr.. Harriman'S own testimony has
itself been so important that the
president, as well as the Supreme
Court, may be called on to take a
hand in getting at the bottom OF
things. One fact has been clearly
developed by the investigation and
that is that Edward H. Hartman
has used several Of the biggest rail-
road lines in the country to make
enormous profit for himself and
friends, regardless of therOads them
selves or their stockholders. There
is small wonder that the average
railroad stock pays such small divi-
dends to holders when We reflect on
the fact that such deals are made.
In one deal. after Harriman's Rock
Island system had obtained control
OF the Alton, he and his associates,
according to testimony and esti-
mates made by the controller OF the
latter road, cleaned up over twenty
three million dollars in profits by a
skillful manipulation OF securities OF
the road. Is there any wonder
that the sentiment is aroused against
the railroads. that State legislatures
are enacting two-cent rate laws,
that congress passed the railroad
rate bill and that public men are
seriously considering the PROPOSE
tion of government ownership? For
the agitation now going on such
men as Hartman are responsible.
The end will come, however. once the
country is thoroughly aroused, and
it will be no pleasant end either for
the railroad interests OF the United
States.

Sympathy goes a long way in
criminal trials. District Attorney
Jerome is up against it in the Thaw
trial, and despite the fact that he
has conducted the prosecution with
Nparked ability there are those who,
bind by sympathy for defense,
would have us believe Jerome jack
leg LAWYER in comparison with Del
mas. Such is notthe ease, however,
and the district attorney has proved
himself a prosecutor Of wonderful
ability, tact and Judgment.

KING CARLOS BRINGS ORDER.
Critics to Be Summarily Dealt With
by a New Tribunal.

LISBON, November 27.-With troops
swarming in the streets, secret service
agents everywhere and most of the lead
ers of the anti-government factions in
prison, King Carlos has temporarily re-
stored semblance of order in his capital.
Representatives of the contending
groups have held repeated conferences
looking toward a compromise. Should
they agree, Carlos can not hold his
ground. There seems now. however, no
hope of harmony among them.
Premier Franco, who is fighting the
kings battle, is finding his chief source
of strength in dissensions among his en-
emies. One group insists on republic
another wants to put Crown Prince Louis
Philippe on the throne, and third sup
ports Don Miguel, the pretender, In his
claims to the crown.
The government yesterday proclaimed
the establishment of a special tribunal
empowered summarily to try political Of
tenders.
Such offenses will now be considered
in the same category as anarchistic
crimes The magistrate appointed to pre-
side over this court resigned as soon as
he was named.

ment otMrs. Bradley to induce her to

was authorized by Mr. and Mrs. Brown
to make proposition to purchase for her
home to cost not more than IS, 900 and
to arrange to give her 800 per month
until her youngest child should be tive ty-
one years OF age. I told her a mortgage
would be given on everything Mr. and
Mrs. Brown owned to secure the payment
of the 500 per month. She said she
would not accept the propositions; that
Mr.. Brown had to leave the old lady or
the madam on the hill and marry her.
her because he was married man, and
there was no ground on which to get a
divorce. She said Mr.. Brown and she
would leave the state and go elsewhere
! stated that my opinion was that If they
did that that Mrs. Brown would hay,
them extradited. She said she would not
accept the proposition, and that Mr..
Brown would have to leave Mrs. Brown
and come to live with her"
The witness said the defendant talked

Judge King described Mrs. Bradley's
appearance with Brown when he saw
them together. saying it was some times
friendly and at other times it was as If
they had had a quarrel.
-Cross-examination developed the fact
that at the time witness made the offer of
home and money to Mrs. Bradley Mrs.
Bradley declared she did not want money
for herself but only wanted Brown to
marry her and give the children a name.

One of the most dramatic Incidents dur
ing the last-ssveral days of the trial of
Mrs. Bradley was the temperance yes
terday of Max Brown. a son of the
late Senator Brown. who was called by
the government in rebuttal. The young
man walked with some difficulty. He did
not appear to be strong as he made his
way to the witness stand. He was quiet
and dignified and his effort to keep his
eyes from Mrs. Bradley was apparent
Mrs. Bradley looked at him intently from
the time he went to the stand, and when
he spoke of having seen the defendant
and his father in the kitchen of his home
with preserves they had brought from the
cellar she laughed and lowered her head
The disclosure of his fathers relations
with Mrs. Bradley came in 1901. and after
that she came to the house three or four
times. She took dinner there once or twice
after that. In the fall of 1901 his mother
left the city to attend the bedside of
dying sister and during her absence Mrs
bradley was at their home.
The witness also said he saw his father
and Mrs. Bradley at the ranch They
were sitting on a bed together when he
saw them.

having met her in political campaigns.

VIII Bury Grace Smith.

NEW YORK, November 2.-The body
Of Mrs. Grace Smith, the woman Of nys-
terry, who murdered her husband and then
killed herself at New Rochelle, will be
buried beside that of her husband in Bal
timore. This has been decided by Smiths
brother. who is here from Baltimore to
look into the mystery which still sur
rounds the shooting. No claim has been
put forth for the woman's body, and but
for this decision 1t would finally be laid
to rest in potter's field.
The fact that the time was approaching
when the estate of the late w. H. Bulke-
ley of Hartford. to which the woman had
always claimed to be the principal heir,
was about to be divided, Is now thought
to have had something to do: with her sud
den determination to end her life and
that of her husband. The executors of
the Bulkeley estate will divide the prop
erty tomorrow. and with that division the
falsity Of Mrs. Smiths claims must have
become known to her friends.
