THE HAGUE, June z1.-The sur.
prise Of the second session Of the Peace
Conference was the formal reserya.
ton by Gen. Horace Porter. on behalf
Of the United States, of the right to
present the question of limitation Of
ornaments. Together with THIS, he
also reserved the right to introduce
the subject Of the collection Of con.
tractual debts by force.
While this reservation was made
quite naturally, in accordance with a
notice served on Russia during the
preliminary negotiations last spring,
and In order that silence now might
not be construed as acquiescence In

Sir Edward Fry also served notice
that Great Britain reserved the right
TO introduce subjects outside the pro.
gramme, but less significance is at.

session was Baron Won Bieberstein's
notification that Germany Intended 10

WATERWAY BILL is VICTOR.
Senate Declares Des PLANES and IIIi.
nols Rivers NavIgable.

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 27.-Deep wa
terway stock went up Tuesday when
the senate started on its way to the
governors office the so-called Allen
party bill declaring the Des PLANES
and Illinois rivers to be navigable
streams. Members of the upper
branch after receiving a special mes
sage from Coy. Deneen asking them
to pass it with an emergency clause
complied by giving the measure Al
yea votes, only two negatives being re-
corded The bill has been passed by
the house and now goes to the execu-
tive for his signature.
This is first blood for Gov. Deneen
in his fight to oust the Economy Light
and Power company from rights it
claims in the Des PLANES river where
the concern is constructing dam at
Dresden Heights. The measure gives
authority to the governor to remove
any obstructions that may be found in
the Des PLANES or Illinois rivers.

CAR NO MORE "AUTOCRAT"
DuMA DEGREES ANCIENT TITLE
Is NO LONGER TENA6LE.
Great Victory Won by Constitutional
Democrats Under Lead Of
Prof. MiIukoff.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 27.--The Duma
Tuesday night decreed that the title of
autocrat, which has been borne by
the emperors of Russia for centuries,
is no longer tenahle within the Rus.
sian state and is incompatible with
the regime inaugurated by the mani.
festo issued by Emperor Nicholas on
October 80, 1906.
At the close of a great constitutional
debate the Russian parliament, by a
vote of 112 to 24s, rejected the word
"autocrat" and then adopted a reply
to the address from the throne unani
mously, amid scenes of intense ex.
citement, prolonged cheers and the
singing Of TIE nrirsrFi anthem.
The result OF the session is regard.
ed as a fine victory for the Constitu.
tional Democrats under the leadership
of Prof. Paul N. Milukoff, who succeed.
ed in forcing the Octoberists' hand.
The final vote was taken after the
demonstratiye withdrawal of the ex.
treme right Social Democrats, mem
bers of the group of toll and the
Poles.
After a stirring debate, which lasted
until almost midnight, NJ. Plevokko,
the deputy from Moscow, summed up
the arguments on either side, and
urged the leaders of the Octoberist
party to draft as judicious compro.
mise as was possible. The house pro
ceeded to vote on the amendments to
the reply, taking up first the word
"autocrat," following the rejection of
which there was dramatic scene.

SUSPECTED OF TWO GRIMES
CALIFORNIA MAN MAY HAVE
KILLED WIFE AND ANOTHER.
After Finding Body Of Woman, Au.
thorities Search for Remains Of
Missing San franciscan.

Oakland, Cal, Nov. 27.-Following
the arrest of NJ. A. Wilkins, of Elm
hurst, who is in the county Jail charged
with numbering his wife last July, a
woman's body having been found in a
shed in the rear of his home, buried
beneath five feet of lime and sand, the
sherif and other officers are now en-
deavoring to locate the body of T. e.
Kimmons, known as EARL" who dis
appeared suddenly from the Wilkins
home.
1t is suspected that Wilkins also
murdered this man, who was 22 years
old and street car striker from San
Francisco. Wilkins asserts, however,
that Kimmons recently inherited a
large fortune and is now living in
Houston, Tex.
Sheriff Barnett and so men arrived
at Elmhurst early Tuesday and began
a search for Kimmons' body.
An important development in the
case was the admission by Wilkins
that he was never legally married to
the woman who passed as his wife
and whom he is supposed to have mur-
dered. He said:
Il met the woman on a train. She
was broke and came to live with me.
She was between 80 and 35 years old
She never told me who her parents
were or where she came from, but she
said her name was Verna Wallace As
to how she died, l don't see that it
concerns anyone but myself. / was
born in France, of French parents,
and have travelled all over the world"
An autopsy was performed on the
body and although no official state
ment was made by the physicians, it
is said that traces of poison were
found. ..-...,-,.. .,.-t....
The discovery of bottle of strych-
nine in the shed where the body was
uncovered has given rise to the i'm
preston that poison was the agent
which caused the woman's death.
The authorities are endeavoring to
learn the name of the dead woman be-
fore she was known as Mrs. Wilkins.
A description with the name and ad-
dress Mrs. Carmen, 1922 Washing
ton Park boulevard, Springfield, or
Sheffield, No." may be the clew which
will give them the information and al
low them to learn Wilkins history.

DRAMATIC SCENES
IN BRADLEY TRIAL
DR.. EVANS DENouNcEs CONDUCT
OF THE WoMAN's VICTIM.
ADMoNIsHED BY JUDGE
Browns Son and Other Salt Lake
Persons Testify in Rebuttal
After Defense Closes Its
Case.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Dramatic
scenes marked the proceedings Tues.
day in the trial of Mrs. Annie NJ. Brad.
ley, charged with having killed former
Senator Arthur M. Brown, of Utah,
in this city last December. DR.. Brit
ton ID. Evans, of New York, the alien
list who testified in the Thaw case,
not only declared that Mrs. Bradley
was insane when she shot Brown, but
entered with such vigor in defending
his opinion and in denunciation of the
conduct of the dead senator that JUS
tice Stafford reminded the witness
that the late Senator Brown was not
on trial and not there to defend him
self, and admonished him to refer to
the dead man only when necessary to
show the effect of his acts upon IL.
mind of the defendant.
The appearance on the stand Of
Max Brown, son of the dead senator,
who was called in rebuttal, was af-
fecting in the extreme. The young
man, tall, slender and fragile of ply
sique, tottered as he made his way
to the witness stand. He carefully
avoided looking toward the defend
ant, who sat within ten feet of him.
Makes Defendant Laugh.
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 called
away from the city to the bedside of
her dying sister, the defendant
laughed and lowered her head in con-
fusion But there was no sign Of
merriment on the face of the witness,
who replied briefly to all questions
put to him and lowered his eyes dur.
ing intervals in the giving of his tes-
timony.
DR.. Charles B. Hill, professor Of
nervous and mental diseases in the
Baltimore Medical college, declared
that in his opinion Mrs. Bradley was
insane when she did the shooting. The
many operations performed on her,
the suffering, the disappointment and
hereditary taint of insanity all COM
bined to produce insanity in her. He
thought she shot Brown Intentionally
but while believing that she was doing
right in so doing.
Witnesses In Rebuttal.
A number of witnesses from Salt
Lake, in addition to Max Brown, were
introduced by the government in re-
buttal several of whom testified that
Mrs. Bradley during their years of
acquaintance with her appeared at all
times rational and affable. 1t was
brought out that Brown had made a
proposition to Mrs. Bradley to accept
a $4,000 house and 800 a month un-
I'll her youngest child should be 21
years of age, If she would leave Mr..
Brown alone. but she Indignantly de-
clined the offer, saying that she want
ed to marry Brown in order that her
children by him might be given a
name.
During Tuesdays testimony Mrs.
Bradley wept and sobbed, and in the
forenoon session gave every indica-
tion that she was about to collapse,
but she mustered such strength as she
possessed and concluded the days
ordeal In fair condition.
The resting OF the defense came in
the nature of surprise, as It had
been expected the alienists would be
kept on the stand for a much longer
period
