Fund for Mrs. Bradley
Begun by SynpathizerS
To Aid in Fresh Start
Scores of Letters Commencing Verdict Show
Trend of Public Opinion and Many Ex-
press Desire to Assist Acquitted Woman.

The deep interest which the people OF
Washington have taken in Mrs. Annie
NJ. Bradley has been manifest in many
ways. not only during the days OF the
trial. but since her acquittal yesterday.
Throughout the city today there was a
general feeling of satisfaction that Mrs
Bradley had been set free and the peo-
pie were almost unanimous in praising
the jury for their verdict, and the three
lawyers who fought so hard for the
life OF their client
The crowd that poured cut Of the
courthouse yesterday told the news TO
motormen and conductors on the street
cars. policemen passed the word 10 each
other, and. in less than a half hour.
all Washington knew that Mrs. Bradley
was free. Inside the courthouse officials
and clerks stopped their work and ran
about the building shouting "S,e's
Free" and for the rest of the morning
mere was little work done In the big
building which had been the scene OF
Mrs Bradley most severe test
Letters Sent to Times.
The Times has received several COM

IDENTIFY been deeply Interested In the
case or Mrs. Bradley and have m
d"uotediy sympathized with her genu-
ine1y for the terrible trouble she was In
so many thousand miles from home and
friends. Although little has been said
concerning Mrs. Bradley's finances. her
future plans have been discussed by
friends and strangers alike.
She said yesterday that she would
go back 10 the West-that although II
was the scene or her greatest happiness
and deepest misery, the people there
know her and understand, and that she

Dire ctOr Expresses
Views in ReSigning
From Board.

Thinking that the best interests OF
the District OF Columbia would be bet
ter subserved Il the Chamber OF Com
merce ard the Board OF Trade were
consolidated. Thomas w. Smith yester-
day resigned from the board OF directors
Of the Chamber Of Commerce. Joseph
Richardson, OF Richardson & Burgess,
was chosen to fill the vacancy.
In speaking OF his action, Mr.. Smith
called attention to the fact that under
the present administration the two
bodies. the Chamber Of Commerce and
the Board Of Trade. are striving Cor the
same ends. He thinks that If a certain
thing Is desired by those who take an
active interest III the affairs OF the Dis
trict one committee should be charged
with the undertaking. and not two COM
mittees.
Two Committees Sen to Congress.
He cited tho example Of the Board
of Trade appointing a committee and
the Chamber Of Commerce appointing an
mother 10 bring before Congress certain
bills for the good OF the District He
said, In nearly every instance, no results
were obtained.
Congress would not listen 20 meas
ures brought In this fashion," he said
today. ''As far as business principles
are concerned, no business principles
are ignored by the existence Of the two
bodies. Put the management OF some
movement into the hands o. one com
mittee and results will follow; put the
attainment Of the same ends into the
hands Of two committees, the work will
be confused, one committee will be jeal-
Gus Of the other. and disorder. ccnfu-
sion, and disorganization follow.
The real interest between the two
organizations (here Mr.. Smith paused
for mOmenO there IS no real Interest
between the organizations. They will

against rather than in harmony with

TRY THIS FOR
shLLow COMPLEXION.

The following prescription IS one
constantly prescribed by the most
up-to-dAte physicians and is known
as tho Pasteur formula; Two
ounces Essence OF Pepsin: three
ounces Syrup Of Ginger; one ounce
Catandir Compound: mix well and
use in doses OF from one 10 two
teaspoonfuls after each meal; also
at bed time for the first four or
five days" Sallow complexion, bad
breath, and nervousness are caused
by imperfect digestion which al
lows poisonous acids to be alb
sorbed into the blood instead Of
being expelled through the bowels.
This extremely distressing condi-
ton IS said to be most effect
ually removed by the use OF the
above prescription. A well known
local druggist states that he has ad-
vlsed many OF his patrons that this
formula has exceptional curative
powers and that Il makes a pleas
ant remedy 10 take. The ingre-
dents can be gotten from any well
stocked pharmacy and easily mixed

DUNNE IN ALABAMA
MAYOR OF CHICAGO IS VISITING
 BIRMINGHAM.
Comes With Party of Capitalists Who Are Looking over Coal Fields Says He VIII Win Out
 Again.

Birmingham, Feb. 25-(Special.-Ed- ward F. Dunne Democratic nominee for reelection as Mayor of Chicago, ac- companied by J. B. Kavanaugh, pres ident of the Barney Coal Company of Walker County, Ala, (residence Chi cago). and other capitalists from the West, arrived in the city this morning for few days stay.
 Mayor Dunne states that he is here for pleasure and recuperation, while the gentlemen accompanying him are here for the purpose of looking over coal interests in this district. MT. Dunne spoke freely today on the subject of municipal ownership and outlined plans 1 that will be carried out in Chicago. He refused to discuss national poli- tics, saying that such discussion would be premature. I had rather not dis cuss national politics at this time," said he. 'Of course, you mean the coming presidential election. I am a Demo- crat and will abide by the decision of the party. There are number of , available candidates for the presidency. That is all I care to say In that direc- tion."
 He said that he didn't care to make any predictions as to what his major ity would be in April but he said he was confident of reelection. Asked If William Jennings Bryan would support
 
 believe that I will have Colonel Bryan's support. He called on me few days ago and wished me God-speed and promised to come to my aid if needed help" He said that during his previous administration he had brought cheaper gas. water, telephones and other service in the big Western city. He admitted that there were many Republicans in Chicago, and that party gave a 100000 majority in an election before the nun icipal election once before. In regard to cheaper fare versus the ownership of street car lines, Mayor Dunne said today that it would be better to hold the five cent rate until the debt con tracteG in purchasing the systems was paid off and then make the reduction so that the people could feel it. He said that Detroit, Cleveland and other cities are successfully operating their lines for three cent fare, and Cleve- land is paying an eight per cent divi- dend.

PORTER SHARP KILLED,
Discharge of Gun in North
 AI.bnma.


 Scottsboro, Feb. 25-(Special )- News has just been received here of a tragedy that occurred the first of the week at Roan Oak in which Porter Sharp lost his life.
 Young Sharp and a friend, Will Di- GUS were handling shot gun when it was discharged, the load hitting Sharp in vital spot from the effects of which he died next day. Both young men were from this place and had gone to Roan Oak to work.
 The Farmers Union Warehouse at Scottsboro. has been completed and now has stored in 1t. about 300 bales of cotton. The Southern Railway will begin immediately putting in a side track. and will pass by the warehouse, thereby giving every facility for hand ling cotton, cotton seed guano, coal and anything handled by the Farmers Union Warehouse and Gin Company.
 The union gin has now closed down for the season. which has been a very successful one. Eleven hundred and sixty-three bales of cotton has been ginned at an expense of about $l.500. The gross receipts were about $2.700 and the gin has netted about $1.200.

 Tax Collector Rorex, has just made his report of poll taxes collected in Jackson County for the year 1906, which report shows that only SAT have been paid, and there should have been paid. something over 2.000.
 It seems that the present law oper- ates very badly in the payment of poll taxes in Jackson County. Several years prior to the passage of the pres ent law the poll taxes turned in from this county averaged over $4,00O, whereas this year only about $1 500 has been collected.

 Another meeting of the bar was called at 80 o'clock tomorrow morn- ing in the Circuit Court room for the purpose of endorsing two candidates for the judgeships created in the City Court.
