BARRIER RAISED
BY HRS. BRADLEY
Attorneys Defending the Wo-
man Will Have Difficulty in
Proving Opening Statement.
Especial to The Herald0

Washington, Nov. 17.-Counsel for
Mrs. Bradley report that they are con-
fronted in their efforts in her behalf
by a barrier raised by Mrs. Bradley
herself. Wrongs inflicted upon Mrs.
Bradley by Brown, in the opinion OF
her counsel, made her mentally ire
sponsible, and it was expected her re-
cital of this i'll treatment would have
convincing effect upon the jury. But
Mrs. Bradley is adverse to saying any
thing to blacken the memory of the
man she shot. Beyond the statement
that he was the father of her two chill
dren, that he promised to marry her
and refused to keep his promise, she
is unwilling to go. Her attorneys are
hopeful that she will at least tell in
a matter-of-f way, devoid of sensa-
tionalism, a story that will in effect
support every allegation made by
counsel for defense in opening this
case.
All the Washington newspapers are
devoting a large amount of space to-
day to the details of the Bradley trial.
and woman writer's, forming what is
known as the sob squad at the trial
are given full rein. Newspapers fur
nished to the Bradley jurors have ac-
counts of and references to the trial
censored.

OLD GIVES WAY TO THE NEW
All the Railroads Entering Washing
ton Now Use the Magnificent
Union Station.

Washington, Nov. ia complete
transformation in the railroad terminal
facilities at Washington was effected
today, when the old Baltimore & Po-
tomac (Pennsylvania) railroad station
was abandoned and every railroad en-
tering Washington shifted its trains to
the new union station. The new sta
ton, which is one of the largest and
handsomest in the world, with its lofty
arched entrances. its massive con-
course, its immense train shed and
great trackage system, was formally
opened several weeks ago, when the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad began it's
use.
In the later SOS the Baltimore & Po-
tomac (now a part of the Pennsylva-
mia SYSTEM established a station in
southeast Washington, later changing
the location to an unimproved public
park at Sixth and B streets, northwest,
half a block south of Pennsylvania

doned today. There it was that Presi-

Money Talks in Pittsburg.

The consequence is that Pittsburg
Republicans are sore at Knox and
declare that he need not expect their
support later on when he becomes a
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton. Of course, Pittsburgers cannot
nominate or prevent the nomination of
Senator Knox, but if he goes to the
convention bearing the i'll will of his
home city it is more than likely that
other Pennsylvania Republicans will
sympathize with the Pittsburg Repub-
licans and Knox will make a poor
showing.
1t is, of course. true that Knox has
never been serious figure in the pres
idential race, but the Pittsburg incident
only goes TO show that he stands no
possible chance of being nominated.

Vladivostok, Nov. 17.-Secretary Taft
arrived here at noon today on board
the converted cruiser Rainbow.
The Rainbow was conveyed by the
cruisers Chattanooga and Galveston.
When the American vessels entered
the Golden Horn they were met by the
Russian gunbOat detailed to escort
them up the harbor. Statutes were ex-
changed with the land batteries. As
the Rainbow steamed in there could be

Call of Commandant.

General Peluga, the commandant OF
this port, and other naval, military
and civil officials called upon Mr.. Taft
this afternoon. 1t is probable that
from St Petersburg Mr.. Taft will
journey direct to Hamburg and sail
for New York on Dec. 7, on board the
steamer President Grant.
The arrival here of the Rainbow was
delayed half a day by a severe north
erly gale, which was encountered the
18th. The heavy seas csused consider
able discomfort and on the night of the
18th the accidental sounding Of the COL
lisiOn signal created some alarm on
board. Mr.. Taft was the guest of the
wardrOom mess of the Rainbow at din
ner on the night of the 18th. The sec
rotary made a brief speech, in which
he thanked the officers for their en-
tertainment. A minstrel show was
given in his honor, at which the men,

PITTSBURG HAS
Tt TN FOR KNOX
Senator Fails to Recognize the
Common Herd of Republicans
in His Home City.
Especial to The HeraldD

Washington, Nov IA splendid il
lustration of the weakness of the Knox
presidential boom is reported from
Pittsburg. The Pennsylvania senator
is, of course, largely handicapped be-
cause he is. or is supposed to be,
corporation man But another serious
handicap is the fact that he is in
clined to be an aristocrat and fails
to mingle with the common people. He
does not associate with the men who
constitute the majority of voters and
is not in sympathy with that element.
Didn't Give Up a Cent.
Pittsburg, where the senator makes
his home, recently had a campaign of
considerable local interest. The sena-
tor went to Pittsburg several days
prior to the election, but carefully
avoided mingling with the local poll
ticians and. although he passed by,
failed to pay even a formal call at the
Republican headquarters. To make
matters worse he contributed not
cent to the local campaign fund and
displayed no interest whatever in the
outcome of the election.

RYAN TO RAISE PEANUTS
IN HIS CONGO DISTRICT

NEW YORK.-When Thomas F.
~ Ryan interests himself in any en-
terprise he is more than likely to get
everything out of it that can be made
to yield profit. When he acquired
the 10000 acres in the Congo district
it was generally supposed that he
would be satisfied with the gold, cop
per and rubber in sight there. But
Mr.. Ryan, as a Virginian, knows the
potentially of rich soil, and as there
would be many thousands of idle
acres in the Congo principality which
ne had acquired, and as this idle land
would not yield any of the three great
crops from which the greater part of
his profit was supposed to come, he
determined to put it to practical use.
Virginia is great peanut state.
The soil conditions in Mr.. Ryan's
Congo domain are peculiarly well fit
ted for peanut culture. The best-pay-
ing grade of peanuts that come from
the Virginia market are the so-called
jumbo variety, large, rich nut,
Astounding in oil and general all

man who wants to reduce is made
easier.
To fat ones the government saye:
Eat little, sleep little and drink less"
To the thin man it says: Drink all
you can, eat all you can and sleep
as much as you can"
The thin man who wants to get fat
must eat and drink everything that he
can stomach. He must eat plenty of
potatoes, bananas and bread; most
important, he must drink before and
after his meals.
The experts say it is principally
what person drinks and not what he
eats that makes him fat Fat is
mostly water, it is asserted, and the
more water or other liquids a person
slows away the more likely he is to
gain weight.
Above all, thin person who wants
to spread out must sleep ten or eleven
hours day. A nap after each meal
is offered as an excellent inducement
for fat to come and stay. On the
other hand, the man who is trying to
lose weight is advised that he keep

dispatched with the cigars was called
up. He said that he took them to
the Office and handed them to a mes
senger, who promised they should be

necessary to investigate the mystery.
An explanation came next day,

him for what he thought lad been
a present to him. He wanted to find
where he could procure another box,
as he had used all of these. There
was a peculiar flavor to the tobacco,
he said, that he liked very much. He
didn't know they were medicated
cigars until the druggist told him, and
the matter was set straight Thy the
other gentleman being promptly sup
piled with his catarrh remedy, and
then they all enjoyed the joke.
