Senator'S S Slayer Must
Return to
Prison.
Gives an Interview to
Times About Her
Hopes.

With courage great enough to
conquer worlds, Mrs. Anna NJ. Brad
ley, who slew Senator Arthur Brown
of Utah in the Raleigh Hotel last
winter, lies in the George Washing
ton University Hospital today, fac
ing the necessity Of returning to Jail
this week because, friendleSs and
poverty-stricken thousands of miles
from her home, she cannot raise
enough money to free herself from
imprisonment on bail
Not yet recovered from the effects
of a severe surgical operation, she
must 90 back to the place of iron
clamor and stone walls. Trembling
with nervousness and tOttering from
weakness, her feet must know only
the cold cement of the prison floor,
and the harsh touch of the nude bed
provided for malefactorS.
And to these things she is doomed
for more than two months.
But she is brave. This woman,
who, when she saw her castle of
illusions shattered at her feet and her
dream of happiness faded forever,
shot to death the man she blamed
for her sorrow, is marYelouSly
brave.
Fran Shell Of Body.
Seated in an invald's chair in the sun
parlor Of the hospital yesterday after
noon. she talked to a reporter for The
Times, her every word additional evi-
dence of the tremendous will power that
drives the frail shell Of her body to
endure depths of physical and mental
woe few women have ever known. Into
her eyes, that are haunted continually
by the shadows of her grief, she forced
the smile OF hope AS she talked. her
cheeks, furrowed by bitter tears, knew
once again the ghosts Of dimples that.
years ago, enthralled the heart Of a
brilliant man.
Her hands trembled and sometimes
her voice broke, but the poise Of her
head was always as that OF one who is
ignorant OF the word defeat"
Unexpected as Death.
The greatest blow she has had to bear
since her imprisonment for shooting the
former Senator came 10 her yesterday.
When she received the reporter. she had
just been told that the utmost efforts OF
her attorneys, Wells, Hoover & Wells,
had failed to secure for her the SIS. 600
necessary to have her released from the
district jail on bond. Tt came as unex-
pectedly as sudden death.
Three weeks ago Justice Wright had
said from the bench:
"If Mrs Bradley can furnish sI5. 900
bail, she can go free until her trial in
October"
That was the day before she under
went the operation that was performed
on her by DR.. n. L. Z. Johnson Ever
since that operation, which was success
full, she has been buoyed up by the con-
viction that, as soon as she was well
enough TO leave the hospital. she could
go TO the country and there, among

VIRGINIA WINS

poration commission into effect, have
surrendered TO the will Of the people.
The rate will PROBABLY go into effect
within the next thirty days, although
the details have not yet been settled
between the representatives Of the State
and the attorneys fer the railroad. The
attitude of the railroad in opposition TO
the order of the corporation commits

purpose of Governor Swanson and mis-
advisers 10 enforce the law.
Compromise Reached.
A conference Of the officials. begun
yesterday. lasted all day today and
many Of the details OF the settlement
are yet to be made. All the sessions
today have been executive. but the state
ment was made that the roads had
agreed to abandon the fight against the
2-cent rate with the understanding that
the State would give 10 them certain
minor concessions, one Of which is
probably an extension of the time in
which the rate shall become effective.
The clerks respectively of the house
and the senate, under instructions from
the governor. in anticipation Of a fur
ther prolongation of the struggle, had
prepared letters to be sent to the mem
bers Of the General Assembly calling an
extra session to legalize the position of

pared his proclamation convening the
extra session
With the ultimatum of the State fac
ing them, the representatives Of the rail-
ways have admitted their inability to
continue the struggle longer, and have
submitted that the new rate go into
effect.

A Long Island City teacher displayed to
her class a picture Of Evangeline bearing
a jug in one hand and resting the other
on the neck Of her heifer. At the same
time she wrote on the board the following

The children were then requested 10
write down their own prose versions OF

seen. a little Polish girl responded as
follows:
