Investigated. 1t was in accordance with
the decision that he reached at that
time that Brown enlisted today, as Dis
trict Attorney, the aid of the Grand
Jury in delving TO the bottom of the
reported bribery.
At the time that the jury that ae-
Quilted McNulty was leaving the court
room Brown said to David W. Swain,
its foreman, as the latter came within
earshot, Il suppose IL 1 had paid you

Brown explained this remark by say
ing that while he was a candidate for
District Attorney and while Swain was
sitting as foreman on the jury Swain
wrote him a letter in which he de-
manded $3.50 from Brown and in con-
sideration for the same Swain said he
would deliver the colored vote Of West
Oakland to Brown. In proof of this
explanation Brown produced a letter
from Swain in which the writer said
that what he could do for Brown for
$3.50 would amount to a great deal

lied as merely a Campaign touch"
and Brown excoriated Swain for send
ing him such a communication at a
time when the writer and the recipient
were both engaged in the trial of Nc
Nulty.
Swain said tonight that he had not
been subpenaed to appear before the
Grand Jury, that he had had no com
munication of late with District Attor-
ney Brown and that he knew nothing
of the investigation the District Attor-
ney and the Grand Jury were making
into the charges that Jurors were
bribed to vote for the acquittal of Nc

NOW THE BRACELET COCKTAIL
Another Fascinating vlsIon of Metro
 politan Life.

The cocktail bracelet is the latest for women. There are fashionable women of this city who wear circlets on their wrists which sometimes con tain a Martini dry or Manhattan. says . New York correspondent. The bracelets have one drawback, 1t is said, and that is they will not accom- modate the cherry that goes with the fairy cocktail. The other night a Pittsburg attorney observed a woman of fashion place her lips to her brace let. He thought that she was paying tribute to her own loveliness. but learned later sho was merely refresh ing her inner self with a mixture of cordials. The nip contained in a bracelet cocktail is SO small that 1t cannot be called a drink, but . cock. tail it is, nevertheless. Of course. the bracelet Is hollow. If large enough 1t holds three thimblefuls of ready-made cocktail. and pressure on an almost in. visible spring permits the fluid to trickle through tiny hole in the gold shell, which is almost too small to be seen. With one of those graceful movements which appear to be nat ural with a woman the drink may be imbibed without fear of detection. A Broadway goldsmith sells numbers oi the bracelets every week, and as most of the purchasers prefer secrecy in connection with the transaction they pay a pretty penny for the dubiously useful trinkets.

DIVORCE LAWS
President of Dartmouth Col Iege Anxious 10 Have More
 Stringent Laws
TALK OF CHILD LAWS

Concord, N. H., Feb 22.-President w. J. Tucker of Dartmouth college is one of the leading supporters Of bill pending in the legislature to re- wise the divorce laws of the state. Several hearings have been held on the bill by the committee on the re- vision of the statutes, and President Tucker has been heard at length in favor of new laws. President TUCK er, before the committee yesterday said that the investigation of the state board of charities and cofrec- tion, of which he is member, nave sent, him, that much of the misfortune and crime that have come under their observation is referable to disturbance of the family life re- sulting from the ease of marriage and the ease of obtaining divorce under the New Hampshire law. He said that the weakest thing in the present statutes was the low age Of consent, for girl of 13 and a boy of IA, which was practically child mar riage. He said:
 ''I would lift that to 16 and IS. If the law were to apply only to our native population and northern races, it would be better if 1t were raised to IS and 21. The people from the south develop much earlier and may require different consideration.
 T think after granting divorce the parties should not be permitted to re-marry for one year. Many cases occur where the divorce is sought and obtained by the intervention of some third party desiring to marry and I believe that this tendency of breaking up the family relation should be discouraged The state should get in line at once in the mat. ter of migratory divorces and as far as possible prevent them."

SERIOUS CHARGE
New York Firemen Accused of Stealing Jewelry While
 Fighting the Flames
NOT THE FIRST TIME


 New York, Feb 22.-Complaints of wholesale robberies by firemen fol lowed the extinguishing of fire in six story tenement at Stanton street early to-day which routed from their beds more than POO persons. Two tenants, corroborated by witnesses, declare that they caught firemen, either regular force or of the fire pa trol, stealing jewelry from rooms ill the upper section of the house which had not been attacked by the flames.
 It is likely that the police will con- duct searching investigation of the complaint as many similar reports have been made of late especially on the east side.

It was impossible to get out lifeboat as she would have been s,,ashed to pieces.
