New York, Nov. 20.-The trial of

six indictments growing out of charges
preferred against him of assault on

gin within two weeks. This announce
ment was made following an agree

Office and the defendants counsel as
a result of which Hitchcocks counsel

BIG BOND ISSUE PROPOSED
Fund of $500, 100000 for Great Water.
way Improvements.

Washington, Nov 20.-Representa-
tive Bartholdt of Missouri, after a talk
with President Roosevelt, announced
his intention of introducing a bill as
soon as congress meets to give legal
status TO the inland waterways COM
mission, which was created by execu-
tive act, and another bill providing
for a S500,000,000 bond issue to estab-
lish fund for permanent great water
way improvements, leaving the small
er projects to be taken care of in the
regular river and harbor bills.
1t is proposed TO have the waterway
commission a permanent body, which
shall employ experts and keep con-
gress officially advised as to the mer.
its of waterway projects. Mr. Bar
tholdt says the president regards the
plan with favor. To large extent the
proposed permanent commission
would relieve the rivers and harbors
committee of investigation work and,
II is declared, prevent favoritism and
political pull from providing for un-
meritoriouS projects

ALONG ATLANTIC COAST.
Inland Waterway Advocated by Phila
delphia Convention.

Philadelphia, Nov. 20.-Delegates
from seventeen states met in conyen-
tion here to further the project for an
inland waterway along the Atlantic
coast from Massachusetts to North
Carolina. Much of the route of the
waterway already exists and 1t Is
proposed that the channels OF the
canals. rivers, bays, etc, that are to
be part of the great watercourse be
deepened and widened so as to per-
nit the passage of the largest war
ships. 1t is the idea of the projectors
to run the waterway from Barnstable
bay, on the north side of Cape Cod, TO
Beaufort inlet, N. c.
II is believed that this route would
save many millions OF dollars In
freights to the business interests OF
the North and South, besides cutting
down the water distance of coastwise
steamers.
Congressman Bingham of Philadel-
phia presided at the first session. The
report of the committee appointed to
interest the president of the United
States in the matter of the improve
ment of the Eastern inland water
ways was read. The report said the
president indicated his purpose to
treat the subject broadly In his com
ing message to congress.

ROOSEVELT NOT TO BLAME
Bryan Says Wall Street Gamblers
Caused Present Stringency.

Lafayette, Ind, Nov. 20.-William J.
Bryan, in a speech here before the
Jackson club, declared with marked
emphasis that President Roosevelt
should not be held responsible for the
present financial stringency. Mr..
Bryan placed the blame on 'the Wall
street gamblers" He said in part;
There is no excuse for the people
to be afraid that their banks are not
solvent. Our barns are bursting with
the products of the field
The common people and not the
Wall street gamblers should handle
the situation. The man who will
draw out his money now when he does
not need 1t is In the same class as
the man who would refuse to aid his
country in time of war This is "A
timeSwhen great patriotism is needed. "
Discussing President Roosevelt's at
titude on the trust question Mr.. Bryan
maintained that the president had at
last reached the position that the
Democrats took ten years ago. namely,
the putting of guilty trust magnates
in Jail.

Increase In interest Bearing Debt Not
Unsuitable.

Galesburg, ILL.,, Nov. 20-CongFess-
man George Prince, member of the
house committee on banking and cur
rency. in speaking of the issuance of
Panama bonds and debt certificates,
said:
I'VE owe $500, 200, 900 of interest

hands of national banks and drawing
no interest for the government $780,
O0O,nO0.
The present policy of the secre-
tary of the treasury is to all intents
in times of peace adding to the inter
est bearing debt of the people $3.50;
000,0 1t is not justifiable under
existing circumstances. | think that
the $50,000000 needed for the con-
struction of the Panama canal should
be taken out of the $240,000,000 in the
banks and not be raised by bond is
sue. AS to the other 100000 900,
which is proposed to be raised by
debt certificates, | do not approve of
the plan at ALL First, because the
money is worth to per cent inter
est and no one is going to buy gov
ernment notes that draw but per
cent interest Second, because the
purpose OF the per cent note is to
realize money from the sale of these
certificates, the money arising from
the sale to be deposited in the ma
tional banks. What does this mean?
1t means, il understand it correctly,
that the people are to borrow $780,,
100000 anS pay per cent on 1t and
hand it over to the national banks to
be by them loaned. without dollars
cost to them, to the people at the
rate of 5 to 10 per cent, according to

SEEM VERY POPULAR
Indications That New Bond Issues
Will Be OyerSubScribed.
CRITICISM OF CORTELY0U
cIares That the Secretary's Action
ness Is Wholly Unjustifiable.

Washington, Nov 20.-Treasury off,
cials are highly gratified at the large
number of letters and kilograms re-
ceived from all sections commencing
the secretary's action with respect to
the issue of government certificates of
Indebtedness and Panama bonds.
Many kilograms have been received
applying for participation in the dis
tribution of the certificates and ask
ing for details and requirements of
the bond issue. Both issues, judging
from present indications, will, it is
said, become very popular and the
subscriptions, in the judgment of the
officials, will far exceed the total to
be disposed of. The determination of
the secretary to receive registered
certificates as a basis for circulation
az we'll as for government deposits is
highly commended and no doubt is
expressed that this additional quality
given TO the certificates will greatly
stimulate public demand New York
city banks have signified purpose to
increase their present circulation by
over $4,000, 900 and~this fact is most
fayOrably commented upon.

Washington, Nov 20.-Practically
the entire sitting of Judge Stafford's
court was consumed in listening to
the story of Mrs. Annie M. Bradley's
relations with ex-senator Arthur NJ.
Brown of Utah, whom she shot and
Killed in this city on Dec. s last. Her
story so far deals with the antecedent
details of the tragedy and was full of
tragic interest. 1t included the par
ticulars of her first acquaintance with
Brown, the growth of the intimacy
and covered many points of the rela-
tionship. Mrs. Bradley claimed that
Brown had made many promises to
secure a divorce from Mrs. Brown and
marry her and that on numerous oc-
casions he had protested his undying
affection for her. She also said that
Brown had performed several criminal
operations on her; had introduced her
as his wife and had given her a pistol
which he told her was for her protec-
ton against Mrs. Brown. She was
much affected at many points and
often spoke in mere whisper.
