Subscriptions to the 3 Per
Cent Certificates of lndebt-

SECRETARY DECIDES NOT
TO ISSUE WHOLE AMOUNT
COST OF MISTAKE FIGURED OUT
AT TREASURY DEPARTMENT
AT tx CENTS PER CAPITA.

Washington. Nov. Glowing to the
large amount of subscriptions received
the secretary of the treasury late to-
day announced that the subscription
to the 8 per cent certificates of indebt-
edness Of the act of June 10. 1898. in
vited by the circular of November IS,
1907, is closed and that no subscription
received after the close Of business
November p will be considered. The
several assistant treasurers of the
United States have been instructed
not to accept any further offers.
The decided improvement in bust
ness conditions throughout the country
makes it quite possible that the sec
rotary will not extend his allotments
further than those already made
CorteIyou Busy Figuring.
Calculations are already being made
as to the probable conditions in the
money market next spring and the
ability to call in part of the certifi-
Gates. If the amount issued should be
only S50,000,o00 and half of these should
be paid off in six months the interest
charges would fall materially below
the $3,000,000 originally calculated upon
the full issue for one year. The sum
of $25.000,0 900 for six months would
draw interest to the amount of $780,
O00, and an additional amount of S25,-
0OO,OO0 for one year would draw $780,
COO, making a total Of 81, 125, 900. This
would be at the rate of less than Ia
cents per capita for the people Of the
country. and it is argued that this
would be a cheap means OF escape
from difficulty even from the humblest
citizen, whose labor might be affected
by the continuance of the crisis.
May Be Called in Six Months.
1t is possible that some of the GER
tifcates could be called for payment
within even a shorter period than six
months. It Will probably be the policy
at about that time. if conditions per-
nit, to withdraw some money from
the banks in addition to the amount
required to pay off the certificates. but

cumulated effect of gold imports. ad-

titled, in the opinion of the officials, in

DUKE CARRIED
AFALSE BEARD
Confederation of Miss Robin
sons Story That bruce Was
Really Duke of Portland.

London, Nov. 27.-The hearing of the
bruce case was resumed today and the
examination Of Miss Mary Robinson,
who was an amanuensis for the late
T. c. bruce. who is alleged to have
been the fifth Duke of Portland, was
concluded. In confederation of Miss
Robinson's statement that she met
Charles Dickens in Kensington gardens
shortly before his death, and was told
by the novelist that bruce and the
Duke of Portland were the same per-
son. Counsel for the prosecution read
an extract from the "reminiscences Of
Sir Weymss Reid stating that he had
seen Mr.. Dickens walking in Kensing-
ton gardens with a young girl a week
before he died.
Aged Woman's Testimony.
Mrs. Margaret Hamilton, 20 years old,
testified that bruce and the duke were
the same person. She said the duke,
whom she described as an old friend
of her fathers, always had a false
beard in his pocket and had explained
it was necessary when he went as
bruce. The duke, the witness contin-
ued, had intended to marry her, but
her father refused his consent. In 1864
the witness went on, the duke said to
her:
"Madge, am going to die"
She replied:
you don't look like it,"
Annoyed the Duke.
Witness father explained to her that
the Duke of Portland was going to
cease 10 be bruce, and that there was
going to be a funeral. In 1866 she
again saw her father and the duke to-
gether in London, and she said chatting
ly to the duke:
Il thought you were dead and
buried"
She called him bruce, and it annoyed
him.
The witness testified that she last
saw the duke in 1876. He was then
also T. c. bruce of the Baker street
baZar.

SANITY AT TIME OF SHOOTING.
Especial to The Herald)

Washington, D. c., Nov 27.-The
government scored a rather decisive
blow against Mrs. Bradley today by
the evidence Of Asa B. Mosely. the
ticket agent who exchanged tickets for
Mrs. Bradley at Ogden. who testified
that she had used no portion of the
round trip ticket given her with
Browns money from Salt Lake to Los
Angeles, but instead Travelled to Ogden
on cash fare. This is In direct conflict
with the statement of Mrs. Bradley,
who said that she turned back at Og-
den Oh the impulse of the moment and
had originally intended going through
TO Los Angeles.
Rational but Excited.
Just before the noon recess the pros
ecution succeeded also in getting into
evidence, after strenuous objection on
the part of the defense, a statement
made by Mrs. Bradley to Detective
Burlingame a few moments after the
shooting. It is in brief that Mrs. Brad
ley told !he officer she shot Brown
that she had brought the pistol with
her from Salt Lake and that although
she did not come east for the purpose
Of killing Brown, she had feared for
some time that their relations would
end in some such manner as this. The
officer said Mrs. Bradley was rational
but very nervous and excited.
The prosecution also placed before
the jury the testimony of several
newspaper reporters and policemen
who talked with Mrs. Bradley after
the shooting, all of whom thought her
entirely rational. although more or less
agitated and excited.
Testified for Mrs. Bradley.
on the other hand, the evidence of
Soren X. Christensen, called for the
prosecution, turned out to be strongly
favorable for the defense He gave
the sensational statement that Arthur
Brown had admitted the parentage of
Mrs. Bradley's two little sons and de-
MED that he was the father of Max
Brown in an all-night conference at
which Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Brown,
Brown and Christensen were present.
Another of the governments witness
es. Archie Livingstone. admitted after
merciless cross-examination that he
had repeatedly lied to Mrs. Bradley in
order to hold his position i'm Browns
office The effect of Mr.. Livingston's
statement was startling and il did not
come until Mr.. Hoover had put the

M'ENERY LEAVES,
BUT NOT ALONE
Professor Mclaughlin Departs
for San Francisco on
Same Train.
RECENT CLASH RECALLED
FAMILY NOT DISPOSED TO RE-
LlNQUISH ADVANTAGE.
RECENT CLASH RECALLED

The departure for San Francisco on
the same train yesterday afternoon of
DR.. William A. McEnery and Professor
Andrew c. Mclaughlin recalled the
struggle for control of the person and
fortune of Miss Isabel Lois McLaugh-
lin, 17-year-old daughter and heiress of
the late David c Mclaughlin OF Park
City. It was stated yesterday that
when Professor Mclaughlin learned
that DR.. McEnery had decided to leave
during the afternoon for San Francis
co ne made uD his mind to take the
same train. Miss Mclaughlin is now
in San Francisco.
1t Y as through the arrival In Salt
Lake of Professor Mclaughlin that
DR.. MCEnery was induced to Withdraw
his petition for appointment as joint
guardian of Miss Mclaughlin. In this
way there was only a ripple when Pho
fessor Mclaughlin was appointed sole
guardian, indicating the sensational
disclosures which would have been.
made by Miss Mclaughlin relatives
had pr. McEnery persisted in his de-
sire to act as one of the guardians of
the girl.
Professor Mclaughlin exerted all his
ing with DR.. McEnery which would
prevent carrying the struggle into
court In this he succeeded. His de-
parture for San Francisco with Dr.
McEnery indicates that he has no de-
sure to lose any of the ground already
gained.
Miss Edith Evans. the young Eng
lish nurse. now at the Murray hospital
who has made charges against DR.. Nc
Emery. was induced to bring the &C
ton for breach of promise against the
doctor by Miss McLaughlin's relatives
When she first told her story to rep
of the family of the heir
ess, it was decided to have her testi-
fy in the district court at Coalville
when DR.. McEnery's petition for ap-
pointment as guardian was taken up
by Judge Morse. But after mature
of the matter il was de-
cided that such a turn of affairs would
cause an unpleasant situation. which
the relatives of the heiress wished to
avoid if possible.

Taking No Chances.

Use was the outcome of the delibera
tons of Miss McLaughlins relatives
and their lawyers. To avoid any pos
sibility of failure in serving DR. Nc
Emery with the papers in the suit be-
fore tn" guardianship was taken up at
Coalvtlle, subpOenas were placed in the
hands of at least three persons, and
probably as many more.
h. o. Young. grandfather of Miss
Mclaughlin. was the first to hand Dr.
McEnery a summons i'm the breach of
promise case. He was served with
second summons on last Monday
morning, and had he persisted in going
to CoalVile he would have been served
with a third copy
But Miss McLaughlin's relatives
were not disposed to take any chances
in he matter. Not feeling sure that
even the knowledge that Miss Evans
had brought suit for breach of promise
would keep him away from court in the
guardianship contest, they had Miss
Evans at COalvflle ready to testify
against DR.. McEnery.
Miss Evans alleges that DIR. Meme

ceived her. My suit, and my willing
ness to testify against him at Coal

one way in which DIR. McEnery could

Was Secured Honorabiy.

New York, Oct 16--H. M Tilford,
president OF the Standard Oh COM
pany of California and OF other sub
sidiary companies OF the oil combine,

John G.. Milburn, chief of counsel for
the defendants, said that William G..
Rockefeller, assistant treasurer of the
Standard, would not be able to ap.
pear as witness at present, as he
was not In the city.
Mr. Tilford gave further evidence
OF the close watch that the Standard
kept on its competitors He said that
reports of competitive shipments
made in the field of the Continental
Oil company, subsidiary Of the
Standard. were furnished him period
ically by employees of the Continental
Oil company and were filed for refer
ence in the statistical department Of
the Standard. The Continental sells
oil In Colorado and adjacent states.

the selling field giving all information
obtainable regarding the business OK
Independent oil companies. He did
not know how the Standard agents OBJ
tanned such information: whether
from the railroads or not. The Re-
public Oil company, witness said, was
organized five years ago as an inde-
pendent company to do business in
Michigan, but it was really a Stand

cording to Mr.. Drake The headquar-
tiers OF the Republic, Mr. Drake testi-
