TOSaVe Woman

In the dramatic and pathetic telling
of the tragic love affair Of Mrs Bradley
and Brown. which stirred a crowded
courtroom yesterday, and which was
resumed today, there was another hg-
ure that. besides the desolate and mis-
cradle woman on the stand, held
the attention Of all. 1t was a man VINO
years ago knew many of the details OF
the drama which ended so trasieaiiy
IN Washington; a man who had oeen
associated with Brown, and had known
Mrs. Bradley It was Judge Orlando W.

who. metaphOrically, took the defend

Judge Powers was accustomed 10
meeting Mrs. Bradley on the streets OF
Salt Lake City. Size was then in the
heyday OF life and happiness. She be-
lieyed Brown loved her, and that meant
all TO her. She had known Judge
Powers and his notable career as a
lawyer, and, like the people OF saft
Lake, she recognized IN him man OF
personal and professional influence IN
the community. She came 10 Washing

and ever so surely over every step OF
the way. and when the day was done
those who had watched Mrs. Bradley
throughout the ordeal realized how
much suffering she had been saved by
the gentle, kindly man who had taken
her over the long, dreary way.

She had been told that today she faced
perhaps the hardest experience in her
life and she went to the stand resigned
", helplessly, and yet hopefully that
somehow she would acquit herself IN a
manner that would bring her both
liberty and life.
The ordeal was shorter than Mrs

PRESIDENT TALKS
Cannot Be Fooled as to Real
Railroad Situation
Does Not Intend To Have Any More
Investigations, As He Is
Fully Informed.
DESIRES NEW LEGISLATION

Washington, ID. c., March 20. -
President Roosevelt emphasized to
callers today his purpose to deal with
the railroad question in his next an
nual message. He declared ne had no
intention to apply the information he
has acquired and will secure from
his interview tomorrow with Presl-
dent Mellen of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford in further In
vestigations or prosecutions. What
he desires is to devise a sound rem
edy for general conditions which will
produce permanent good in the rela-
lions of railroads and people. He
does not want to hamper the rail-
roads unnecessarily. and he proposes
to secure respect for their rights. At
the same time, he intends they snail
pay strict regard to their duties as
common carriers.
The president has found 1t neces-
sary to relterate his views in order
to dispel a Misunderstanding which
exists in Washington and New York
and apparently in other parts of the
country. Wall street is trembling
with anxiety. fearing the president
is about to undertake some new cam
paign that will upset values again,

lion absolutely in the hands of Sec
Rotary Cortelyou. But 1t was said to-
day with a positlveness that cannot
be doubted that'the president does
not contemplate any new investiga-
tons by the interstate commerce
commission. and that SO far as he is
concerned he has no need for any
further sensational revelations such
as were brought out by the commits
sion during its investigation of the
Hartman situation
The talks the president has had
with railroad representatives and fl
nanciers. and his exchange Of views
with Gov. Deneen of Illinois, Sena-
tor Burkett, of Nebraska, and today
with Senator Allison Of Iowa, and
Benjamin f. Yoakum, of the Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific, have
given him an excellent understand
ing of conditions generally.
When railroad men come to the
white house tomorrow to deliver
the message he is supposed to bring
from the other railroad presidents
named by J. Pierpont Morgan they
will find they are footing with a
loaded gun. The president proposes
to talk straight with them. During
the governments consideration of
the prosecution of the Standard Oil
company Messrs. Rogers and Arch
bold came to Washington and told
the president their corporation had
never accepted nor given a rebate,
and that John d. Rockefeller was a
sanity man who would not permit
an evasion. much less violation, of
the law.
The president will tell plainly the
evils of overcapitalization and of his
desire to bring about the enactment
of bill authorizing the national
government to issue franchises AMI
to control al corporations, including
railroads, doing an interstate bust
mess. ]. Pierpont Morgan gave the
ipresident to understand he would
willingly further his policies of this
character. It being his idea thai
