SALT LAKE CITY
WOULD SET FREE
WOMAN SLAYER
Judge Powers Tells How
Public Sympathy Turn
ed From the Late
Senator.

Judge Orlando Powers, VINO reached
Washington several days ago from Salt
Lake City, today discussed various
phases of the forthcoming trial Of hrs.
Annie NJ. Bradley for the murder Of
former Senator Arthur Brown, Of Utah.
Judge Powers pointed out several sig
nificant features in the VIII of Senator
Brown, which was made in the summer
preceding his death. and which specIfi-
cally cut of Mrs. Bradley and her chill
dreI from any share in his estate. He
said that the action Of Brown in not
only making these provisions. but in the
manner he made them, caused people all
over the state 70 turn from him to The
cause OF Mrs Bradley.
Judge Powers asserted before leaving
salt Lake City that the unwritten Jaw
would have no place in the arguments
Tor Mrs Bradieys acquittal.
Salt Lake Would Acquit Her.
Il cannot say anything at this time
about the line Of defense which we shan
put up, said Judge Powers today. i
am certain. however. of one thing, ana
that is If l1rs. Bradley were on trial
today in salt Lake city for the crime of
which she IS accused here, she would
not need a lawyer. Out there the peo-
pie are in fun sympathy with AIRS.
Bradley. At enc time. il is true. sCrti-
ment was somewhat against Mrs. Brad
ley, but the people aid not know halt.
II was not until the VIII Of Brown
was published that the real knowledge
OF what Mrs. Bradley had suffered and
the irreparable wrong that Brown had
done her were known. Then, all in az.
instant, public feeling swerved right
over TO Mrs. Bradley, and / say again
that If she We're on trial there today
she would not need a lawyer. The peo-
lie there know now the details Of a life
stcry that they never dreamed of be-
fore, and there is nothing but absolute
sympathy for her and utter condemna-
ton of Brown.
There are many touching little side
lights 10 this terrible thing. One is the
devotion of Mrs. Bradley sister, who
IS working as a stenographer and type
writer ana saving every penny she can
eet together TO help her sister Then
there are her children. Mrs. Bradley
Gees not feel as II she has any place
IN the world any more, but in the
hearts OF those little folks, and they
give her the only ray Of hope in the
coming ordeal.

The viii OF Brown is a keynote 10
the mans character. The section re-
lating TO Mrs. Bradley and the two
children who are named far him, was

PLAIN MURDER.
SAYS WILKIE Of

Although two men have surrendered,
claiming that they in self-d-fense killed
Secret Service Agent John A. Walker at
the entrance Of a mine near Durango.
Col, yesterday, Chief John E WiIkle
said this morning that he was con-
vineed from such details as are at hand,
that the killing was nothing less than
a cold-bl3oded murder.

time of his death he was engaged in
securing evidence in the lane fraud

Chief Wilkie today received a partial
report OF the affair by telegraph.
In speaking of the death Of Agent
Walker he said:
i am informed that Ir. Walker with
three assistants. named Callahan, Chan
son, and Harper went 10 the Hesperus
mine, owned by the Porter Fuel Com
pany and controlled by the Union Pa
cine railway, TO make certain inyestira-
tions. The three men were lowered into

Their Visit Thought
TO Be on Financial
Situation.
President Rewriting
His Message, So 1t
Is Said.

President Roosevelt held a confer
ence lasting nearly two hours this
morning with E. H. Gary, chairman
Of the board of directors of the
United States Steel Corporation.
and Henry C. Frick, the Pittsburg
steel magnate.
NOthingwas made public regarding
the purport of the conference, but
it was undoubtedly upon the fnan-
cial situation, and il is understood
that the Presidents visitors hurried
TO Washington from the consulta-
tion Of bankers that was held in
New York late last night
Soon after Messrs. Gary and
Frick reached the Presidents Office,
Secretary Of State Root was sum-
moned from his department, and
remained until the Steel men left.
Nessrs. Frick and Gary rode TO the
White House in a broken-down
hired hack, and evidently attempted
TO conceal their identity from the
newspaper men.

we have nothing TO say. nothing

he was accosted as he was about TO
step into the hack. after leaving the
Presidents office.
Mr. Gary shook his head vigorously
when he was asked for a statement
about the visit.
Ii was learned today from an suthori-
tative source that President Roosevelt
is hard az work rewriting that portion
OF his annual message 10 Congress
which relates 10 finance. IN this he
is having the active assistance Of Secre-
tary Root. who has made several
lengthy visits to the White House
No Extra Session.
There is no ground for the rumor that
an extra session Of Congress viii be
called 10 discuss tho financial situation.
Il is said that President ROosevelt's at
titude in the matter is that an extra
session IS rot necessary and that little
could be accomplished by it. He has
made specific mention OF the hnancia.
condition OF the country in previous
messages and his recommendation, al
though being approved By many finan-
ciers. have never been acted upon
The reason for this is that few Repre-
SentaJiVes can agree on the solution OF
this question nor can the members OF
the Finance Committee.

streets. but save one or two cases OF vio-

UNION PACIFIC
To HOLD MINES
AND KEEP COAL

| New York, Dec. 19.-Absolutcly literal
| compliance with the provisions OF the
| railroad rate bill affecting coat properties
| OF railroads is the foundation of plaa
| that has been under consideration by
Union Pacific officers.
IL the plan Is adopted the company Will
not transport between states, to use the
Language OF the rate bill, "any article or
commodity mined or produced by IL or
under its authority, or which II may own
| in whole or In part or In which IL may
have any interest, direct or indirect, ex-
cept such articles or commodities as may
be necessary or intended for its use in
the conduct OF it's business as a common
carrier"
The company will not sell its coal mines,
for all that, but will simply not sell coal.
1t is realized that the plan, il put into
effect will curtail the production OF mines
that now supply fuel for heating and
power purposes 10 very large section
of the remotest Northwest. The mines are
owned directly by the Union Pacific Coal
company. n subsidiary of the Union Pa
ciic Railroad company, and are for the
most part in Wyoming. They are consd-
cred the most productive in the North
west, as respects high-grade bituminous
coal. From them coal is shipped for tho
Montana, Oregon. Washington, Idaho. Me-
vada and other states OF that section OF
the coantry
Inc western part or the. Union racine
lines Is supplied with fuel from the COM
pany's mines. For the eastern part IL has
been considered more economical to buy
Illinois coal on account OF the shorter
railroad haul and the good market for
Wyoming coal in the Western states. II
the plan is adopted, all the Union Pacific
lines will be supplied with Union Pacific
coal
Although Il is prohibited from selling
it's own coal TO consumers. there Is noth-
ing in the Hepburn law that would re-
strain the company from hauling Illinois
coal or coal from other mines OF the Gem
trail states 10 the consumers in the West.
Necessarily coal thus supplied them would
be more expensive TO the consumer. for
the consumer would be obliged 10 pay for
the long haul in addition To the initial
cost OF the coal
