INSANITY PLEA
IN DEFENSE OF
MRS. BRADLEY

SALT LAKE CITY, Oct 23-"There
Is no such thing as emotional insanity,
according to a court ruling, and we viii
not make such a plea in the Bradley
case. Nor will we urge anything bor-
dering on an 'unwTitten law, as was
done in the Thaw case We shall ad-
vance the plea that the woman was in
sane-not emOuOnany so, but insane
Also we have another line OF defense
which cannot be divulged now. but which
win cause sensation when it is made
known"
Thus spoke Judge o. w. Powers, who
left today for Washington TO defend
Mrs. Annie NJ Bradley, accused Of the
murder of ex-United States Senator
Arthur Brown, Of this city. He talked
Of the case this morning.
TIE trial, which IS called for Novem-
Der II, promises 10 be quite as sensa-
tional as the famous Thaw case. Salt
Lake City people play the principal
. PARTS. Mrs Bradley was a Salt Lake
City girl. and most of the other wit
nesses and participants in the case are
2 salt Lake City residents.

witnesses has not yet been been made

called from this city. They are ex-Judge

The Government has provided for the

After outlining the general plans Of
the defense, Judge Powers said this
morning,
I'VE have a transcript of the divorce
proceedings between Mrs. Bradley and
her husband. and we have a copv of
Arthur Browns viii.

harder for the defense on account of the
fact that Washington residents are not

c. A. R. CONDEMNED
FOR ITS ATTACK
ON Van SCHAICK

The board of trustees Of the Church
of Our Father has rallied 70 the support
Of the Rev. John Van Schaiek. 1r., pas
ter of the church, who was recently
condemned by Burnside Post. q. a. R..
for mis- eulOgy of Gen. Robert L. Lee
before the class Of the Eastern High
school last February.
Members Of the congregation are in
dignant at the criticism launched At
their pastor. and Immediately after the
publication yesterday that the G. A. r.
post refused to rescind its resolutions,
attacking Mr. Van Schaick, call was
issued for a meeting Of the board OF
directors, and resolutions were imme-
diately drawn uD, not only asserting the
loyalty Of the congregation Ia its pas
tor, but condemning in no uncertain
terms the action of Burnside Post in
its attack
Considerable spirit was shown because
Mr.. Van Schaick was censured for his
tTibute TO General Lee. and the fact
that the posts course was einsDired nv
me personal feeling against the minister
OF one Of its members, who was for
merry member of Mr. Van Schaick's Z
ecngSregatlon, was pointedly Incorporated
In the resolutions.
The following resolutions we're
adopted:
Whereas Burnside Post. @ A D
mas passed resolutions cOndemnine the
pastor Of this church. the Rev. ,Jobn
van Schaick, Jr., for words spoken in
an address at the Eastern High School
IN February last, in which he commend
ed the spirit of Gen. Robert u lee
after the war,
Resolved. That we regard such actor,
on the part of Burnside Post as rDuvor-
thy and unjust, in that II held an to
pubic censure, without cause. a most
loyal, mgh-minled. and public-spirited
Christian minister.
Resolved, further, That We recopnize
IN this action and in the introduction
OF similar resolutions in other G. r
posts of this District, but an incident in
deliberate and persistent campaign OF
detraction and villifcatiOn Of said min
lister (of conscious participation in which
we hold the members of the G. A r. IN
general guiltless), which to our knOwI-

by Burnside Post is q matter OF con-
lecture. The next regular meeting OF
the post will be held the second Wednes-
day in November.

greatly exceed 1000.
Two hundred and ten bodies have
already been recovered from the

we're killed there alone.
The government has sent troops
to dig in the ruins at Ferruzzano,
where many people, yet living, are
imprisoned. The population was
1000, and because of the panic which
scattered the survivors, it has been
impossible to learn how many are
left. At Reggie and Messina, houses
tOppled over Ike piles of block, and
many people were buried. Two
walls of the cathedral at Geraee col
lapsed, and number of buildings
fell at Szinopoli. There is known
to have been great loss of life at

Three Big Battleships
To be Recommended by
President, Report Says

It is reported this morning that Presi-
dent Roosevelt viii recommend TO Con-
gress the building Of three new battle
ships Of the 20.O00-ton class.
1t is said that the President does not
approve of the plan which provided FOR
only one battleship a year. Should this
policy continue the United States would
have only two 20.G00-ton battleships in
1910, and not enough ships for a squad
ron until 1872. 1t has beer decided, there
fore, to ask for three ships this year,
which viii allow the United States 10

by Cabinet.

A new currency bill viii be introduced
in the coming Congress, TO correct the
evils that are responsible for the me- aey
panic SO declared Senator EIkins. one
of the big Republican leaders in the
National Legislature, this morning,
after he had had a long talk with Presi-
dent Roosevelt The Senator did not
say in so many words that the Presi-
dent would back the bill, but intimated
that it would have strong backing from
the dominant side Of the House.
1--WE need a more elastic currency"
said Senator Elkins. The whole trouble
is that the business of the country has
increased faster than the supply of
money. You might say that the busi-
ness has increased so per cent and the
money 8 That leaves a gap of % per
cent to be dlled by creditor eonideace.
which is credit-and now that conf
dence has been shaken to a certain ex-
tent, the gap is open.
I believe the worst Of the Emit is
over, and that things will now gralu-
ally resume their normal condition
Senator Elkins said that West Vir-
ginia was holding of en- the Presidential
candidate subject until the tinal word
is heard from Roosevelt. IT'S mighty
hard, apparently. to stir up any an
thusiasm for any other candidate" he
added.
Discussing the panic further, Senator
Elkins declared that the President
could not be blamed for it. "tLough
some people pretend that he caused it

on the light, and that may have ac-
CeEtUated IT to some extent. But had
