WASHINGTON
MAY Be DRY

Washington. Nov. 26.--"Eat,
drink and be merry. for tomorrow
Washington may be drier than the
proverbial bone" This is the wall
that Is going up from the convivial
ones or the national capital-and
they are not In a minority--as the
time set for the converting of con-
gross approaches. There is now lit
tie doubt that determined attempt.
which promis $ to be successful, will
be made at the next congress to Sc.
cure the passage OF law prohibiting
The manufacture and sale of intoxi-
eating liquors within the District OF
Columbia. The Anti-Saloon workers
are already gathering in Washington
for the fray, and declare that they
will WELD sufficient political i1iNu-
ence to force congress to act favora-
bly, upon their little bill. Speaker
Cannon alone prevented the report
ing OF such measure last winter.
and even the heroic Uncle Joe, It Is
alleged. will be unable to stand be-
fore the water wagon Juggernaut
at this session. The anti-saloon peo-
pie believe that dry" Washington
would be an example that would
have great influence throughout the
entire country and they will leave
no stone unturned to accomplish
their end. In this the people Of
Washington will have nothing to
say. being merely the wards of Un-
Gle Sam. like the Indians and the
FilIpinos.

Washington, Nov. 25,--That Mrs.
Annie NJ. Bradley was insane al the
time she shot former Senator Arthur
Brown. Of Utah, In this city. on De-
cember s last. was the opinion OF
Dr. Wilfred NJ Barton, OF the medi-
cal department OF Georgetown Uni
versity and a specialist in nervous
diseases, expressed at the ftrial OF
Mrs. Mradley today. DIR. Barton 8
testimony followed the reading TO
ham OF a hypothetical question Of
1900 words covering tA > history of
Mrs. Bradley's relations with Senator
Brown from the day she met him to
the day of the tragedy.
Dr. Barton diagnosed Mrs. Brad
ley's ailmont as being puerpural in
sanity, caused by what he described
as the continued assaults upon her
nervous system. due to the abortions
which she had had performed upon
her. in explaining why he looked
upon her as an abnormal woman, he
said she was interested in things
that do not usually attract women
and instanced the fact that she wa
secretary of a political club as an
evidence OF her abnormality.
DIR. Barton was on the stand prac-
tically the entire day and was sub
jected to a severe cross-examination
by the district attorney aided by the
goyernmen insanity experts DIT.
Smith u. JoliiGe, of New York. and
DR.. Edward s. Brush. of Baltimore.
DR. Barton proved 10 be a good wit
ness for the defense. His testimony
showing his conclusion as 20 Mrs.
Bradley's insanity was mistaken.
The defendant came into court
looking pale and haggard, evidently
in anticipation that after all. the
question 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 ke nest interest In all that was
said she generally seemed in a con
dltion OF mental detection. As has
been the case throughout tho trial
she displayed much emotion upon
hearing references 20 the love that
existed between her and Senator
Brown. as made known through
their letters. While she today shed
no tears she frequently bowed her
head and closed her eyes for long
periods apparently oblivious TO all
that was going on around her. when
the session for th' day was over her
face had n dl2dnct expression Of Sad-
ness.
Dr. Ertton y. Evans. medical
director OF the Ncw Jersey state
hospital for the insane viii 90 on
the stand tomorrow, and later Dr.
Chas. D. Hill Of Baltimore. medical
officer of tho Mount Hope Retreat
and St Joseph's Sanitarium OF that
city. will be called. They will both
testify for the defense. For the pros
ecution Dr. Smith II. Jolliffe. Of New
York. and Dr Edward s Brush. Of
Baltimore. will give testimony later
Dr. Evans and Dr. JolHfio were both
witnesses for the defense in the

here this AFTERNOON. Just who they are

it will likely be a secret session.
The promoters of the new league in

have ample backing. They have visited
several major league cities in the west
Louis. Chicago and Cincinnati. In Pitts
burg they could not obtain an option on a
desirable park site.
The new OUTLAW movement is excit-
ing much comment in the west. Up to a
few days ago the promoters confined
themselves to that territory. Now they
declare they are going to invade the east
Just what cities they contemplate enter
