Viscount Siuzo Aoki. Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the United States, has
been recalled by his government.
The very few here who knew of the
action of the Japanese Ambassador in
presenting his recall papers to Presi-
dent Roosevelt are at a loss whether
or not to connect these two facts.
1t is known that Aoki has been more
than friendly to this government dur
ing the verbal and diplomatic agita-
tions which followed the announce
ment of the United States determine
ton to install a Pacific fleet.
Technically, Aoki has been sent for
to come back to his government for
the purpose of making a report On the
state of public feeling in the United
States on the question of Japanese ex-
clusion, but it is regarded here as a
move which will forever bar the pop
ular Japanese emissary from official
life in Washington. No official word
of the recall of Aoki has been given
out. but it is known that he presented
his notification officially and in per-
son to the President and Secretary
Root. Official confirmation is expect
ed o 1t can hardly fail to excite
interest throughout the world, because
many people will be sure to interpret
it as an act of hostility on the part
of Japan, while others may see in it
a retort by Japan to the actions of

Senator Aldrich Opposes Hansbrough's
Scheme of a Central Ma

Washington, Dec. 3.-There will be
no currency legislation before the
Christmas holidays. This fact became
apparent Tuesday in connection with
the meeting of the Senate Committee
on Finance at which the subject was
discussed informally. No definite prop,
oSition was presented.
AS a result of the interchange OF
views, it was, however, pretty thor
oughly established that, in the minds
of the members, there exists no pres
ent emergency calling for hasty
remedial legislation.
1t was stated after the meeting that
there would probably be no attempt
even to frame a bill until after Jan. 1,
Senator Money of Mississippi voiced
the views of the Democrats when he
declared that in his belief the financial
stringency has passed, basing this
opinion on the situation in his own
state.
Hansbrough of North Dakota eX-
pressed the opinion that the proper
way to prevent future occurrences OF
the recent experiences was to estab'
lish a central national bank OF issue.
This at once brought expressions OF
dissent from the Democrats, one OF
whom asked Chairman Aldrich the di,
rect question as to whether he favored
such a plan. Without giving a direct
reply. Aldrich satisfied this Democrat
that he was opposed to the central
bank plan.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Mrs. Annie M.
Bradley has been acquitted on the
charge of murder growing out Of the
killing by her of former Senator Ar
thur Brown Of Utah.
Promptly upon the opening of court
at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, JUS
tice Stafford instructed the bailiff to
inquire of the jury if it were ready to
report. In response, the twelve men,
including one negro, accompanied the
officer into court.
Have you agreed upon a verdict,
gentlemen" Justice Stafford asked.

James l.. Feeney replied, and the docu-
ment was passed to the clerk to be
read.
I'VE, the jury, find Mrs. Annie M.
Bradley not guilty"
This was all, but it was sufficient.
Men and Women Sob.
A sobbing breath went up from the
men and women in the courtroom.
Order! Keep your seats" shouted

The prisoners body quivered as an
aspen leaf. Her lifelong friend, EN-

one chided her for it. She went to her
friends side and, leaning close to her,
brushed her cheeks with her lips.
The Killing of Brown.
Arthur Brown, who was n of the
first two United States Senators from
Utah, was shot and killed in his room
In the Raleigh Hotel, this city, on the
afternoon of Dec. s., 1906. Until Mrs.
Bradley confronted him, a moment be-
fore the fatal shot was fired, he was
unaware of her presence in the ma
tiopal capital; On the contrary, he sup
posed she was on her way to Los An
geles, his agent having bought her a
railroad ticket and given her money to
defray her expenses to that city.
At Ogden, however, Mrs. Bradley
changed her mind, exchanged her tick
ct for one to Washington and reached
there on the morning of the 8th. AS
C6rCdlQlDS tHdI DIOWH was q SuCoI VI
the Raleigh Hotel, she secured a room
there, registering as MRS. Brown"
and was assigned to a room but two
doors from that of the man she sought.
According to the hotel clerk, she did
not claim to be Arthur Browns wife,
and that the room assigned her was in
close proximity to the former Senator
was not upon any suggestion from her.
After two or three vain attempts to
face her recreant lover, Mrs. Bradley
walked the streets for some time, re
turning, worn out, to her room in the
afternoon. Hearing footsteps in
Browns room, she entered it without
ceremony and was roughly accosted
by him.
II have come back to ask if you are
going to keep your promise to marry
me-" she said.
According to the testimony, Brown
made a rush for Mrs. Bradley and had
grabbed her when she fired. He was
shortly removed to a hospital, where
he died several hours later.
