DEATH LIST GROWS.
Details of the Mexican Earthquake
Received.

Mexico City, April "details of the
destruction wrought by the great earth
quake of last Sunday and Monday are
reaching this city already. A message
from Acapulco today confirmed the
story of the total destruction of Ayulta.
The Jail and hospital collapsed but the
prisoners and the patients were taken
out safely. Factories throughout the
district are in ruins and thousands of
workmen will suffer greatly from the
loss of their homes and enforced idle
ness. The postoffice, telegraph office
and barracks at Ayulta were destroy
ed.
Selesians College in Santa Julia,
which was supposed to have been
earthquake proof, collapsed. The roof
above the second floor fell in when
seventy students were in the building.
Although the structure practically fell
to pieces not one OF the students was
injured. Many of the students were
left clinging to the beams. The teach
ers, with a numbe of pupils had left
the building. After the shock, a search
was made of the ruins, and those with
in the building were taken out. In
collapsing, the roof was supported on
one side by beems,- leaving q space
where many of the students found
means of escaping death or injury. The
death list continues to grow.

BY MARGARET q. DOWNING

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 49,
1t is difficult to imagine a woman
with good impulses getting into
the predicament in which Mrs. An
ma Bradley finds herself. Yet no
one can come within her presence
without feeling that the spiritual
element in her nature far out
weighs the sensual.
Even Mrs. Anna C. Adams does
not believe that Mrs. Bradley was
actuated by sordid motives in de-
handing the PREPARATION of mar
riage from Senator Brown. In the
beginning she was infatuated with
him and cast all aside for his sake,
Afterwards came the inevitable re.
morse and the desire to make
amends to herself and to the in
nocent victims of that Inflated
romance.
In her letters and in her talks
with the victim of her bullet shots
she made plain that she expected
that he would aid her in the re-
generation of the children and of
themselves. Some four years ago
Brown bought a farm for Mrs.
Bradley just outside of Salt Lake
City, and furnished her home
there with every comfort. He gave
her generously for a time and al
ways conveyed the suggestion that
he would make her Independent.
The promise to marry her was

TRAINS CRASH
IN MOUNTAINS

Northern Pacific train No. 2, one
of the company's crack overland
trains, which reached Spokane
about A o'clock last evening, hit
the Burlington passenger train No.
5 in the Cascade mountains on the
west side at 1890 yesterday morn
ing. Two Burlington coaches were
smashed, but with the occasional
freak luck of railroad accidents,
nobody was injured. The pilot of
the head engine on the N. P. was
splihtered.
The crash resulted from care
lessness on the part of the en-
gineers. The trains were to pass
at L.emolo and the Burlington train
attempted to take the siding. AS
soon as the engine and mail and
baggage cars had passed the switch
the N. P. train started ahead. Al
though both trains were moving
slowly the Burlington smoker and
day coach were knocked off their
trucks by the glancing blow of the
engine and the windows smashed.
Five hours were lost before a
wreck train had cleared the track
sufficiently to let the Spokane
train proceed.

EXPECTS TO SECURE
RELEASE Of DEAN

Attorney Harry Rosenhaupt, for
Charles H. Dean. stated this morn
ing that the authorities have no
right to hold Dean on a charge of
vagrancy which is now against
him, and ne expects to get Dean
out of the clutches of Sheriff Doak
in a few days. Dean was freed by
habeas corpus Saturday, but
Sheriff Doak promptly nabbed him.
Prosecutor Barnhart is planning to
charge Dean with being an acces-

jured man now in the hospital hav-
ing stated that Albert Graham, the
man killed in the dynamite eXplo-
sion a week ago at Natatorium
park, told him and Dean that Ora
ham stole the dynamite.
Ever since his incarceration as a
suspected safe blower Dean has re-
fused to tell the officers about the
explosion or how he came to have
safe-blowers' tools in his posses
sion. When first arrested he was
held on charge Of vagrancy, but

ter before Judge Miles Poindexter

RUSH WORK ON
NEW PLANT
BETTER PROVISION MUST BE
MADE, HOWEVER, OR CITY
WILL BE LEFT TO DEPEND
ON SEWER WATER IN CASE
OF ACCIDENT.

Ten men began work on the new
water system yesterday morning.
Excavation for the new pumping
station is expected to be completed
within few weeks. The work is
under the direction Of Water Com
missioner Roy, who stated this
morning that it would be rushed
so as to complete the new plant
If possible before the Occur
d'Alene sewer system, which will
have its outlet into the river,
from which Spokane now gets its
water supply, is finished.
1t Is planned to leave the present
water system intact for cases of
emergency, so should anything
happen to the pumps of the new
system, the old pumps could be at.
tached to the old source. Accident,
however, is improbable as there
will be two new pumps. either one
of which will be capable of pump
ing a sufficient supply for the city
should the other break down. This
plan will mean sewer water in the
event of accident, and better pro-
vision must be made If the public
health is to be properly safe
guarded.
Both pumps will be run at about
half power. as at that rate suf-
ficient supply can be obtained.

There Is little doubt that the
council when it meets again will
vote in favor of annexing all that
territory voted on Nov. 4, despite
the protests of voters who live
near the Mitchem Bros. slaughter
house and who have been induced
by the butchers to sign a protest.
The reason for this protest is that
the Mitchems may thereby avoid
moving, as city ordinance prohibits
slaughter houses within the limits.
A majority of the council wants
annexation the worst way. 1t Will
give democrats who are already in
the majority a stronger hold. The
city charter empowers the council
to appoint new councilmen for an
nexed districts who shall remain
in office until the next general
election. This will be held In 1909.
At present the council is demo
cratic by six to four. The annexed
territory would mean at least five
more wards and 10 more council
men. Two of these will likely be

INSANITY PLEA
A POOR EXCUSE

In police court this afternoon Pa
trolman Nick Warner told a thrill
ing tale of his pursuit and capture
of John O'Neil, a former inmate of
Medical Lake insane asylum. The
man was acting suspiciously last
night and Warner gave chase.
O'Neil ran like his life depended
upon 1t, and was influenced to put
more speed into his legs by shots
from the policeman's revolver. He
finally stumbled just in time for
the policeman to fall in a heap on
top of him.
Justice Hinkle asked O'Neil for
an explanation and he said that
ever since he left the asylum two
years ago there are times when
he imagines someone Is chasing
him and he is liable to set off on
dead run at any moment.
Chief of Police Rice scrutinized
the prisoner intently for awhile,
and spectators began to fidget, ex-
pecting the chief was about to give
a hypnotic exhibition, but he
wasn't. He took the stand and
said O'Neil was a man who, under
the name of O'Meta, had done time
on the chain gang and had been
released when he begged to go and
provide for his family living at
E442 Sprague av. A fine of $40
and costs was assessed.

UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION SERVICE
ALTHOUGH DLSHONORED SHE TRIED
TO SHIELD SENA TOR BROWNS FAAlH Y

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--In a
court room crowded with specta-
tors, hundreds of whom were
women, and in midst of silence as
tense as If in the presence of sud-
den death, Mrs. Anna Bradley an
swered to the call Of her attor-
neys shortly after 10 this morning
and took the witness stand in her
own behalf.
During the entire session Mrs
Bradley seemed on the verge of
nervous collapse While she list
ened to the testimony of Mrs.
Josephine Tige, newspaper
writer, she apparently suffered
great mental anguish and her at
torneys were constantly encourag-
ing her to display fortitude. Mrs.
Tige testified to Mrs. Bradley's er-
ratio and peculiar action.
The rumor that Mrs. Bradley
was to take the stand had attracted
a concourse of curious women
who came early, preempted front
seats and stared with unblinking
eyes at the sufferings Of their sis
ter who was fighting for her life.
AS Mrs. Bradley, slight and very
pale except for hectic flush on
each pallid cheek and bright eyed,
arose to take the few steps that
separated her from the witness
stand, the women spectators
craned their necks and leaned for
ward to observe in details the pris-
oner's appearance. Their presence
In the court room seemed to great
Nv distress the witness.
The voice of the defendant was
so low her words could scarcely
be heard and the court reporter
had to repeat several times for the
benefit Of the jury. AS the minutes
passed she seemed to regain
strength and talked with stronger
voice. She told her early history
of being born in Kansas City 35
years ago, being educated in Den
yer and moving to Salt Lake in
1890. She told of her prominent
position in political circles and UNI
pleasant married life. When she
told of her first meeting with
Brown her eyes filed with tears.
She was scarcely able to proceed.
