TESTIMONY ENDS
 IN BRADLEY CASE Judge Stafford Will Give Case
 to the Jury Monday
EXPERTS SAY SHE IS SANE
The Rev. David Utter Testifles To Conversation With Mrs. Bradley Relative To Threat Against
 Brown, But She Denies It.

Washington, November 29-"Oh, I am glad it is all over at last" These words were uttered by Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, charged with the murder of former Sem ator Arthur Brown of Utah, as she, with a smile, was led from the court room to the prison van, which was to take her back to jail. The presentation of evil dence had just been concluded and court adjourned until Monday morning, when argument will begin. Justice Stafford announced that an agreement had been reached among counsel for four hours ot argument on each side. These win be completed Monday afternoon and Justice Stafford said he would deliver the charge and give the case to the jury.
 The testimony of the two government insanity experts, Dr. Edward H. Brush of Baltimore and Dr. Smith Ely Jelliffee of New York, was the feature of to- days proceedings. both of these alienists declaring that there was nothing in the record of the case to indicate that Mrs. Bradley was insane. Counsel for the de- fense attempted to impeach the testi- mony of these experts by showing that they had been called for the government and that as matter of course they were testifylng in the interest of the govern ment. Each of them repudiated this charge and declared that they would nave IeSIlHEQ 10 tle 1llSdIlill ol 4hiSs Bradley as readily as they testified to her sanity had they found her to be insane. They were questioned at length and both cited the acts of the defendant, testified to by witnesses, as showing her to be sane.
 The Rev. David Utter, pastor of the Unitarian church of Denver, Colo. who in former testimony has been referred to as the priest" was placed on the stand. He was Mrs. Bradleys pastor in Salt Lake City and testified to a conversa- tion he had with her in 1905, she saying, in effect according to his testimony. that Senator Brown would marry her when a gun was placed before him, but the pastor added he did not understand that she proposed shooting him. He rather thought some one else would undertake to force him to marry her.
 Mrs. Bradley was recalled and stated that she had no recollection of such a. conversation. The pastor occupied a seat at her side during most of the day and appeared to sympathize with her in her preCicanleut

RADICAL RESOLUTION.
Jones of Virginia Wants Cannon To
 Appoint All Committees.

Washington. November 29.=At a caucus of the democratic members of the House sch eduled for tomorrow at D. m, Representative Jones of Vir- ginia will introduce a resolution to this effect:
 That 1t is the sense of the demo- crats that all appointments to commit tees should be made, by the speaker"
 The purpose underlying this seem ingly commonplace proposal is to take out of the hands of John Sharp Will Hams the naming of the democratic members of the House committees.
 Speaker Cannon" said MT. Jones to- night, lever since he has been the ruler of the public has turned over all minority committee assignments to MT. Williams, thereby providing a source of unpleasantness and squabble be- tween such of the minority as were not pleased with all of MT. Williams selec- tons. This has always been shrewd move on the speak CTS part to disrupt the democratic side of the House. If he can repeat in this year the results are apparent that 1t will be disastrous to the democratic party. If the dem ocrats, however. hold solidly together during this session, l believe we have n splendid chance for a democratic House In the next Congress. Further. the approach of a presidential year and the existence of financial troubles rem ders necessary absolute harmony among the minority.
 "In introducing Il resolution for the naming of all committees in their en- tirety by the speaker, l must not be misunderstood as aiming to discredit the leader of the minority. To the contrary. Mir. Williams and 1 have al- ways been good friends. l told him some time ago of my intention to in- troduce such resolution. He neither said that he would unhold or op- pose 1t.
 "The increased number of democratic members of the House inclines the leader of the minority to believe that there should be seven democrats on committees which last session had but six, and 1t has been announced that q resolution embodylng that sentiment will be adopted at tomorrow's caucus and conveyed to the speaker"

His testimony was on a line to show the error and false pre- lnises in the calculation of Auditor Plank of the Southern railway, who had testified that on all business it lost 71 cents to earn a dollar and that on local business it lost 15 cents more. MT. Hillman held that the cost is less than Is cents additional and that this amount should then be compared with the charges for local hauls, whi ich are larger than for interstate business.

CURRENCY IS PLENTIFUL.
Premium Is Disappearing and Deposit
 ors May Withdraw Cash.

New York November 29.-The prem ium on currency which has been paid in this city for the last few weeks al most disappeared today. The rates of premium went as low as ss of 1 per cent, but suddenly advanced 7s of 1 per cent on demand for cash for Saturdays pay rolls. One of the largest savings banks in the city to- day notified depositors that it would allow withdrawals to be made at once by depositors who gave notice q month ago that they would demand their cash at the expiration of so days.
 The importation of gold since the currency stringency began reached $S9, 900 900 today when the sub-treasury received s1,500,000 in United States gold coin from Mexico.
 
 they will likely be held in case there is any conflict in which any additional ser vice will be needed. It is also of interest that the grand jury will assemble Decem- Der 10, and the names of the members or that and all other juries have been kept from the public by order of the district attorney.
 The Penalties.
 The power of the judge is absolute up 10 five years in the penitentiary. He may send to jail without trial any man who disobeys an order of his court even to five years in a government prison. This will make 1t very dangerous for any per son, officer or citizen. to take any liber- ties with the orders sent out. It is not question that can be held up by appeal to some othe- tribunal. It is go to jail and stay until released by the judge.
 It Is not thought that Judge Jones would hesitate to enforce the power he thus holds. He has practically said so in an address to q number of railroad men who asked if they were to be protected from arrest if they were forced to con tinue at work to hold their jobs. Every power of the flag is behind the court to protect you in the discharge of your daily duty said the judge. "Yon may return with the assurance that you will not be made to suffer.
 The order is so sweeping that few real ize it's import. No man may begin q suit without violation of it; no shipper may ask court that he be protected against the higher rate without getting in the way to Jail, and no officer. however humble or exalted, may serve a paper and be safe from it.

Country's Prosperity Unequaled
What is most needed just at present
$ is that our citizen. should realize how
fundamental sound business condi-
81 tions in this country are, and how
absurd it is to permit Themselves to
get into panic and create stringen-
ICY by boarding their savings instead
of trusting perfectly sound banks.
4 There is no particle ofrisk involved
in letting business take its natura
conrse, and the people can help them
selves and the country most by put
ting back into active circulation the
money they are boarding.
The banks and trust companies are
II solvent. There is more currency in
the country today then there was q
n month ago when the supply was am
y pie; $55, 700, 900 in gold has been i'm
ported aud the government has de-
posted another $60,OOO,0O0.
These are facts; and Iappeal to the
public to cooperate with us in restor-
ing normal business conditions. The
government will see that the people
ECO uot suffer if only the people them
serves will act in Aormal way.
Crops are good but business condi-
l tions are sound and we should put
N the money we have into circulation
in order to meet the needs of our a.
4bounding prosperity.

What He Has to Say.
Holly, Colorado

NOV. ~, lSUI
Editor of Extra Journal:--As I
promised 80 many of my friends in
Extra to write to them and in order
not to miss any, will write an item
for all. After leaving Extra, we had
a pleasant time, all running smooth
until we got to st. Joe, Missouri,
when suddenly we had a terrible
bump. Now it is pleasant to ride Oh
railroad if there are no bumps but
the rails we were on, had one and a
hard one too. Our train, double
header, collided with freight train,
making it lively tor while, for as
soon as it happened we were locked in,
not being let out until quietness was
restored. Alter being freed, we found
that one of cur engines were disabled
and nine of the freight cars derailed,
some being mashed into kindling
wood. Fortunately, only one poor
fellow was seriously hurt, he, being
the fireman on one of our engines, the
result of jumping from his cab. But,
with all the scare, there was amuse-
ment for some buns were quietly
resting in some of the cars and when
the wreck occurred, they took down
the track like rats out of corn pile
when disturbed and for all | know
may be going yet. We arrived at
Holly, Saturday at A. Nj. reaching
our destination in time for breakfast
my son-in-law, George Mathison, hav.
ing met US at the station, Amity
which was the nearest point being
only four miles from their home. We
had telephoned them, telling when we
would arrive. VIM. Shoesmith and
our car arrived the same day about
noon. We unloaded the stock at
Holly that afternoon and sent the car
to Wildwood, which is mile from my
place, unloading the remainder of it
, Monday. Everything came through
IN tine shape. Many thanks to those
who helped pack it for it was "well
done" Say Tom (Pippen), those li't'e
bees behaved fine and by the time
they got here they We're as tame as
kitten but are mighty saucy since
they got settled. We have had nice
weather except the last two days it
has been raining part of the time. The
farmers are very busy in the beet
helds, digging, hauling and SLIDING
beets. There are great many to dig
yet. The crop is light, running from
six to twenty ton to the acre. They
pay five dollars per ton at the dumps,
which are about three miles apart.
| The new town, two miles and a halt
from my place, which started last
spring, has a bank, store, restaurant,
lumber and coal yard, blacksmith
shop, elevator, beet dump and they
/ are now erecting a large two story
stone building but don't know what
it is to be used for.
While sitting by the window, 1 eau
see the big steam dredge boat on the
canal. They have three floating
houses in which they live, with cleo
trio lights to work by at nights. I like
