NEW YORK BANKER
 COMMITS SUICIDE Howard Maxwell Takes His
 Own Life At His Home DESERTED BY HIS FRIENDS Deposed Bank President Is Released From Jail on $3o,ooo Bond, But Depression Overtakes Him
 and He Suicides.

New York, November 26-Howard Maxwell, deposed president of the Bor- ough Bank of Brooklyn, who was un- der indictment for grand larceny and forgery and was last night released from jail on s30.000 ball, committed suicide today. He cut his throat and left wrist with a penknife in the bath room of his home at Brooklyn and died tonight at Long Island college hos pital. Maxwell. who was locked up last Thursday, had felt his humiliation keenly and during his incarceration had appeared hopelessly Respondent. He had, however, given his family no inti mation so far as known that he con templated suicide. His wife was pros trated
 Maxwell was released late last night from Raymond street jail, where he had been held prisoner since the three indictments charging him with mis- doings in connection with the manage ment of the suspended Borough bank were returned. There was some difh- sulty In obtaining bail, and officers of the jail reported that Maxwell was greatly broken.
 All yesterday and the day before he lay on his bed and appeared to be oblivious to surroundings. Last night Justice Burr signed an order for Max wells release when ball to the amount of $90 900 was furnished.
 Maxwell in company with his coun- sell I. F.. Osland. was driven to his residence at 182 Congers street, where he was greeted by his wife.
 Maxwell spent this forenoon quietly at his home. This afternoon he an- nounced his intention of taking a bath and going for walk. Shortly before 2 o'clock, Hannah Scott, a colored maid. heard a sound as of some one falling on the second floor. She discovered the banker lying on the bathroom floor. half dressed and with gaping wounds in his throat and left wrist. The bank CT was bleeding so profusely that it was decided to remove him to Long Island college hospital, where an oper- alton was performed. The windpipe was found to be nearly severed and his left wrist was cut almost to the bone. Maxwell died within short time after the operation. He left no statements so far as known.
 Coroner Brewer began the official in- vestigation tonight. He was 49 years old and leaves a wife but no children. On November 21 he was Jointly indict- ed for grand larceny with former

Washington, November 26.-tSpecial)- Senator John w. Daniel of Virginia, who yielded the gavet 9c Chicago in 1896, when Bryan said: 'You shall not press down upon our head this crown of thorns, you shall not cruelty LIS lppon this cross of gold" met the peerless Nebraskan in the lobby of the New Willard hotel this even ing. and their friends are profoundly thankful that there are no dead and in iured to report. At a late hour this even- ing a bulletin was issued stating, More trouble IS not expected.
 The collision came about in tiis way; Bryan had been addressing the National Publicity association on the beauties or putting the lobbyist out of business with the newspaper X-ray and had just stepped out of the elevator
 Major Arines called the attention of Senator Daniel, who was looking over the latest magazines, to the fact that the Nebraskan was approaching.

REPORT ON
 |STHM|AN CANAL No Reference Is Made to Widening the Canal Locks HIRED LABOR IS THE BEST Report DwelIs Upon the Amount of Work Done and the Sanitation of
 the Camps and Care of
 the Workmen.

Washington, November 26.-Full de- tails of the work done on the Panama canal during the fiscal year 19O7 with a showing of what has been accom- plished since the project has been in American hands are disclosed in the annual report of the isthmian canal commission made public today There is no reference in the report to the proposition which has been brought forward to extend the width of the locks to 110 feet so as to accommodate without difficulty the extreme breadth in the development of ship building, and this will be made the subject of special communication to the commis- sion.
 A strong position is taken favorable to a continuation of the policy of do- ing the work by hired instead of by contract labor. Sanitation, upon which so much depends for tne health of the employees. is treated of in the report; statement is made of what has been done and the declaration is made that there was no yellow fever originating on the isthmus during the year.
 The report in part is as follows:,
 Organization of Commission.
 At the close of the previous fiscal year the commission consisted of six members. During the present fiscal year the entire personnel was changed, brought about by the transfer of Gov. Charles l.. Magoon on September 20. to administer affairs in Cuba, by the acceptance of the resignations of MT Theo P Shonts, chairman, effective March 1, 1907; of Gen. Peter c. Hains, Maj. B. M.

Jefferson's Ideas.

MT. Bryan then took up his subject and proceeded to present the democratic view and republican view of government-Jef- ferson being the representative Of those who vote for government from the stand point of those who deny the right and the capacity of the people to self-government. He showed how this difference In the point of view accounted for the position taken by different people on questions re- lating to the methods of government. He insisted that the democratic party looked at government from the Jeffersonian point of view. while republican leaders were more Hamiltonian and leaned to- ward standardization. He next presented the democratic and arstocratic view of society. saying that the democrat re- garded society as constructed from the bottom. while the aristocrat thought ic constructed from the top.
 "The democrat he said, believes that if you will only legislate so the people will be prosperous. their prosperity wilt be shared by the smaller classes that rest upon the people; the aristocrat believes that if you will only legislate to make the well-to-do prosperous their prosperity will ieak to those below.

It is regarded las. a safe thing to say that even they can be enjoined without penalties run ming.
 Governor Is Easy.
 Governor Conner, having signed all the bills traf have to do with reclassf- flying the roads and fixing the rates, is taking things easy for the time. He was in consultation much of today with former Chief Justice s. D. Weakley, going over the laws, it Is supposed, to see that all is well with them. He had nothing to say about the future It is thought that he is fortifying himself against any sort of move on the part of the railroads and will be ready inso- far as before the battle preparation can be made.
 The orders putting into effect the 2%c fare, issued yesterday, are expect ed to precipitate the fight. 1t is re- called that the officers of the Louisville and Nashville intimated that they would keep up the fight for the right to go into the courts-such courts as other citizens have right to-and it is likely they will keep going along that line. Hence the game Is now a waiting one. The first move in the courts will be the signal for the fire- works, no doubt.
 With regard to the future one may guess many ways. The court to be used will be that of the middle dis trict of which Thomas G. Jones Is the judge. He is determined that every or der he makes will be enforced. Cover nor Conner, on the other hand, Is as determined that the state laws shall be n. so that is the outlook.

The capacity of the hotel banquet hall placed a coveted limit on the attend ance, the lid" was completely off as to enthusiasm and the long speech of Mir Bryan afforded opportunity for re- peated and continued demonstrations of political accord for the guest of honor.
 Mir Bryan utilized the occasion 10 set forth at length closely reasoned analogy between the policies of Presi- dent Roosevelt and those he believes should be adopted by the administra- tion of the government From this viewpoint MT. Bryans speech was re- garded by prominent democrats who heard 1t as a decidedly important and timely party deiveranee
 MT. Bryans analysis of President Roosevelts political views was unique. Four of the Roosevelt policies, he said, were democratic and four of them were undemocratic, while there were four other democratic principles which the President did not advocate. Railroad regulation. the enforcement of the laws against the trusts an income tax and arl'tration as the mode nf settling dis putes between labor and capital were all advocated by the President, MT.

Washington, November 26.-Dramatic scenes marked the proceedings of today in the trial of Mrs Anna M. Bradley, charged with having killed Former Sen ator Arthur M Brown of Utah in this city last December. The defense rested after introducing the expert testimony. of two alenists. Dr. Britton D. Evans of New York, the alenist who testified in the Thaw case, not only declared that Mrs. Bradley was insane when she shot Senator Brown, but entered with such warmth in defending his opinion on MT. Browns conduct that Justice Stafford admonished him to refer to the dead man only when necessary to show the effect of his acts upon the mind of the defendant The appearance On the stand of Max Brown, son of the dead Senator, who was called in rebuttal, was affecting in the extreme. The young man, tall, slender and fragile of physique, tottered as he made his way to the wit ness stand. He talked looking at the de- fendant within 10 feet of him. When he told of seeing his father and Mrs. Bradley in the kitchen of their home with jars of fruit they had brought from the cellar at a time when his mother had been away in the city at the bedside of her
