LOCATES ROOT OF TROUBLE
President Stickney Does Not Believe
Present Stringency Is Due to
Lack of Circulation.

Chicago, Nov. ga dispatch to the
Tribune from ST. Paul, Mimi, says:
In a statement issued yesterday,
A. B. Stickney of the Chicago Great
Western railway, scores the present
banking system of the country and de-
nounces the theory that the present
money stringency is due to lack of cir
culation.
President Stickney said that while
the government is urging the people to
have confidence in the national banks,
it does not regard them as good enough
to hold government deposits. He de-
clares that, during the forty-five years
since the present system was instl-
tuted. congress has not provided leg
islation which would permit these de-
posits. Mr. Stickney continues:
"In my judgment, the way to pro-
vide the necessary amount of currency
il not TO issue more but to ecOnomize in
the use of what we have and devise a
banking system which will permit it
10 circulate instead of being boarded.
Under the present sub-treasury
system the government seems to re-
ouire a working balance of actual cash
in the-treasury of approximately $780,
OOO. 600. The working balance of the
English government. with about the
same annual disbursements as ours, is
alwavs kept in the banks and rarely
exceeds $50, 900. 600 to SAC, 900, 000.'

SOUTH DAKOTA SENATORS GAMBLE
FOR PATRONAGE IN WHITE HOUSE
Roosevelt Fps the Coin for Position of Bank ExamnerLot
terry for Other Offices.

Washington, Nov. 25.-The White
House was the scene of a lottery draw
ing today in which the federal patron
age of South Dakota was disposed Of.
Applicants for a large number of fed
eral offices were unappointed in the
state, due to the fact that Senators
Kittredge and Gamble have been I'M
able to agree on candidates. The sena-
tors met in the presidents office today
by appointment to agree if possible on
a distribution, but found themselves as
far apart as ever. The president pro-
posed that they draw lots. The sena-
tors agreed, and the position of bank
examiner being the place in immediate
dispute, the president tossed up coin,
saying that heads meant that Kittredge
should win and tails that Senator Gam
Bile should name the man. The money
fell heads. Both appeared satisfied with
this method of disposing of the prob
lem.
The president suggested that all va
cancies be filed similarly. Accordingly

the names of the various offices were

The two senators then proceeded to
the dra wings, with the result that Sena-
tor Gamble was awarded the following
offices:

tor of internal revenue. registrars al

In addition to the office of national
bank examiner, Senator Kittredge drew
the following: Assayer of the mint at
Deadwood, registrars at Mitchell, Rapid
City, Pierre and Huron, receivers al
Mitchell and Chamberlain, Indian
agents at Crow Creek agency and the

DIR. William A. McEnery, who was
named in the viii of the late Mrs.
Henrietta Mclaughlin McEnery of
Miss Isabel Lois Mclaughlin, the L.
yeaT-old daughter and heiress of the
late David c. Mclaughlin, precipitately
withdrew from the contest for the con-
troll of the person and the fortune of
Miss Mclaughlin yesterday on learning
of the nature of the steps which had
been taken to oppose his appointment
as joint guardian with Prof. Andrew c.
Mclaughlin of Ann Arbor.
On his return to Utah DR.. McEneTy
was not only compelled to surrender
the heiress to her relatives, but was in
rather an unusual way served with the
papers in d breach OF promise suit for
S25, COO instituted in behalf of Miss
Edith Evans, young English woman,
now a nurse at the Murray hospital,
who alleges that DR.. McEnery failed
to fulfill his vow to marry her.
But for the doctors capitulatiOn the
pitiful story told by Miss Evans would
have been aired yesterday in the dis
trict court at Coalville.
Summoned as a Witness.
She had been summoned as d wit
ness whose testimony was expected to
disquaIify DR.. McEnery for appoint
ment as joint guardian of Miss Nc
Laughlin, and was in the court yes
terday.
Dr. McEnery some time ago an
nounced that he would be present in
court when the matter was taken up
and started for San Francisco, where
he has been living since the death of
Mrs. McEnery. He got as far as Ogden,
and there got his first glimpse of what
Miss McLaughlin's relatives were doing
to oppose him While seated in d coach
waiting for the start to be made for
I. Coalville he saw Mrs. Pearl Bird. an
aunt of the heiress. approaching
through the aisle. He sprang up with
Outstretched hand. Mrs. Bird ignored
him and passed on. Back of Mrs. Bird
was Miss Evans. Miss Evans glanced
frightenedly at DR.. McEnery, uttered a
cry and ran excitedly into the smoking
compartment at the end of the car.
There. sOothed by Mrs. Bird. she sob
bed that DR.. McEnery was the man
who had ruined her life.
Grandfather Serves Summons.
Following Mrs. Bird and Miss Evans
was Hance -. Young, grandfather OF
Miss Mclaughlin. He held in his hand
summons in a breach of promise suit
for SIS, 900 brought against DR.. Nc
| Emery by Miss Evans. The old man
at once served the summons upon the
doctor and then hurried to assist Mrs.
Bird in soothing the now hysterical
! Miss Evans.
As this scene passed before his eyes,
| DR.. McEnery rose from his seat, pale
and evidently deeply excited. The sight
| of Miss Evans and a swift glance al
the paper thrust into his hands by Mr..
| Young had changed him from the COM

man who had been lounging in a seat

Hurriedly leaving the car he started

ticket for Salt Lake. On the plat

AND TESTIMONY OF INSANITY EXPERTS

Warrington, Nov. 25.-When the trial
of MTs. Annie NJ. Bradley, charged with
the murder of former United States
Senator Arthur NJ. Brown, was resumed
today a number of insanity experts
were in court. 1t was believed that
the hearing of evidence would be con-
cluded this week. The arguments will
begin next week and the Indications
now are that the case will go to the
Jury not later than Dec. >. Mrs. Brad
ley came into court very quietly, APP
pearing depressed and paleT than usual.
She took a seat behind her lawyers
with eyes cast down. At times she
closed her eyes, heavy black rings
around them showing plainly, and re-
naming for several minutes as if in
a stupOr. Occasionally she caught her
breath quickly. as if on the verge of
fainting. She was attired i'm the dark
gown she has worn since the beginning
of her trial, with a fur collar thrown
carelessly over her shoulders. She
talked to one of her lawyers and bent
forward when he spoke, as if she heard
with difficulty.
The audience included many women,
all showing intense earnestness.
Scraps of Torn Letters.
Detective Charles Mullen, the first
witness, was asked to identify scraps
of torn letters found in a waste basket
in Mrs. Bradley's room at the hotel
where the shooting took place. One Of
these refers TO other letters written
by the prisoner
"Wnl you kindly keep these?' she
wrote. Il have written you. l may
need them, and in case there is need
for any defense Of any rashness, publish
Mrs. Luton. % South Second, or
Mrs. Cary could see that they were
published"
charge of the Bertillion records of the
notice department said that it was
he that had pasted together the scraps
nj paper found in the waste basket.
He identified all the letters, which he
aid had been handed him by the police
property clerk.
First Insanity Expert.
DR.. Wilfred Barton, insanity expert,
called by the defense, said he had made
a specially of neurology and is now a
member of the medical faculty Of
Georgetown university. During the last
few years he conducted private sani-
tarium in this city for the treatment Of
nervous and mental diseases, but was
never connected with any hospital for
the cure of insanity.
Hypothetical Question.
The long hypothetical question pre-
pared by the defense was then read
10 the witness.
There were three questions which
were only propounded after Judge
Powers had presented complete an
alvsis of the case, bringing out espe-

shaken by the cross-eXamination-
Pale, Haggard and Detected.
The defendant came into courc >oday
looking pale and haggard. evidently in
anticipation that after all the ques-
ton of her sanity or insanity at the
time OF the commission of the act was
the paramount issue in the case. While
at times she exhibited the keenest in
terest in all that was said. she Gener-
ally seemed i'm a condition of mental
detection AS has been the case
throughout the trial she displayed
much emotion upon hearing references
to he love that existed between hCr
and Senator Brown, as male known
through their letters. While today she
shed no tears she frequently bowel her
head and closed her eyes for long per
iods, apparently oblivious TO all Got
was going on around her. When the
session of the day was over her face
had a distinct expression of sadness.

cially the points indicative of mental
unsoundness on the part of the defend
ant. The questions were as follows:
a. Assuming all these facts to be
true, what do you say as to whether or
not at the time the fatal shot was fired
the patient understood the nature of
her act, was able to choose and dis
tinguish right from wrong, and was
able to control herself to choose the
right and avoid the wrong?
% Assuming all these facts to be
true, what do you say as to whether
or not when the fatal shot was fired
the patient was mentally responsible
for what she did?
80 Assuming all these facts to be
true, what do you say as to whether
when the fatal shot was fired the pa
tient was sane or insane?
Mrs. Rradley's Name Not Mentioned,
The statement of the case was read
from typewriter data and was DELHI
erataly and carefully presented. Mrs.
Bradley's name was not mentioned, but
the facts were given as applying to a
woman, IS years of age, which is the
age OF Mrs. Bradley. We viii as
sumo" said Judge Powers, the case of
a woman now 35 years of age, who at
the age of five years was struck on
the head about two inches back from
the frontal bone a severe blow, which
rendered her unconscious, combining her
to her bed for two or three weeks.
Thereafter she suffered from headaches
until Is or II years of age, when, after
an attack of smallpox and pneumonia
combined, the headaches became less
frequent. Her grandfather upon the
maternal side was at times insane.
Two of her aunts upon the maternal
side became insane. Both had delu-
sions of persecution and both devel-
Oped homicidal tendencies; one died
insane, one is now living and is much
improved mentally. The father of the
patient is living, but is suffering from
paralysis and is unable to travel with
out assistance, and is gradually grow
ing worse"
He proceeded then to relate the story
of a suppOsitiOus Woman's childhood,
young womanhoOd, early education in
Colorado and employment in Utah, and
passed to her participation in political
and club life in Utah, through which
and because of her political affiliation

quainted with Senator Brown. The par
ticulars of her intimacy with him from
1888 forward are recited infinitely. The
first evidences of the mutual infatua-
ton are thus outlined:
lnfatuation Mutual.
As soon as the state elected a Re-
publican legislature, which was in the
year 1900, Senator Brown became a
candidate for reelection and during the
campaign of 1898, the patient and the
senator were thrown together very in
timately. They worked together and
