TWO SIDES TO THE TROUBLE

New Orleans States: Recently til,
New York Evening Post published al
editorial severely arraigning the West
ern Miners Union and charging III
against it about all the horrible crimes
IN the calendar. To this article reply
was written by Upton Sinclair. which,
1t seems, the Post is unable to answer, a
tact that has not escaped the observation
and comment of its metropolitan con-
|temporaries. In his reply Mr.. Sinclair
says:
L have read your account of the al
legged crimes of the Western Federation
of Miners, Will you permit me to sug-
gest that fair play now requires that you
print an account of the career of crime
of the capitalist class of Colorado. This
will include the repeated defeat. by open
and fragrant bribery, of the people in
their attempt to establish an eight-hour
day; the seizing by fraud of all the
branches of the government, and the
suppression of every constitutional right
freedom of speech and of press, and
liberty of person. 1t will include the
breaking of a strike by military force,
the wholesale deporting of men and
women for no offense but that of 'agi-
tating, and the procuring of resigna-
tons OF elected officials by means of
ropes about their necks. 1t will also in
clude the kidnapping by official act of two
men accused of murder upon evidence
procured by torture
There are invariably two sides to
every story, and knowing both sides no
doubt. accounts for the reports coming
from Boise, Idaho, that the people of
that city are taking little if any interest
1t all in the trial of Mover, Haywood !
AMI Pettibone for the assassination of
former Governor Steunenberg All of |
the press correspondents agree that the
attendance of spectators in the court |
room is astonishingly small and among
he people of Boise the trial is causing |
10 excitement whatever, that it is not |
discussed in public places and is treated |
y the citizens of the town as though it |
we're a matter of no importance.
1t is difficult to account for this in
Inference and lack of interest on any |
,ther theory than that the people of |
Idaho fully appreciate the fact that d.tr
ng the mining troubles iii the Ceur
i'Alene region and in Colorado the mine
owners were guilty of just as many
lawless and indefensible acts
IS were the miners, and that one side
vas no better or worse than the other.
I is we'll to say that this also is the CON
lusion which has been reached by dis
writers who were sent to
Boise to write the history of the min
ng troubles and to report the trial Of
he men accused of murder.
There is no reason TO doubt that dur
ng the trial all of the facts regarding
lie conditions which existed and the
that were committed in the
mining districts will be brought out,
nd they will not prove to be source
# pride to the people of Colorado and
daho. It is the knowledge of this, per-
aps, on the part OF the citizens of Boise
hat explains their lack of interest in
he pending trial or sympathy for either
ide involved in the controversy.

TELLS HER STORY
Mrs. Bradley and Her Rela-
tons With Man She Shet.
PROMISED TO MARRY HER

Slayer Of Former Senator Brown Tells
Of the Depreciation She Shared
With Him and How He Deceived
Her.
Washington, Nov. 20.-"I am so
tired" said Mrs Annie NJ Bradley. the
defendant In the trial now in progress
In the criminal court In this city, atter
she had spent about four hours on the
witness stand Alatlng the details OF
her acquaintanceship and Intimacy
with former United States Senator
Brown. with whose murder she STANDS
accused and Judge Stafford immedl-
ately gave orders for the adjournment
Of the court She had not reached the
events directly connected with the ira
gedy in which Brown was killed. but
had very closely approached them.
The story dealt with the nrst ac-
auaintance OF Mrs. Bradley with
Brown. and told how that acquaint-
anee gradually ripened into friendship
and finally into love. 1t was long
and pathetic narrative Of Illicit affec-
tions; OF promises Of marriage which
could at first only be made only on the
condition OF divorce on both sides. and
then of disappointment and grief when
both became free and could have been
legally united II Brown had been will
ing. Mrs. Bradley gave the particulars
OF many pledges made to her. told how
Brown had introduced her as his wife.
and Of how he had given his name TO
one of their three children. and also OF
how he had aided her in not less than
three criminal operations.
She related also many pleasant incl
dents OF their life together. She wore
a smile when she spoke Of her pride In
his intellectual attainments and told
OF their reading together the principal
poets. She said that he told her over
and again that she was the only woman
he had ever loved. and averred that by
his manner towards her and his supe-
rior attachments he had gained a COM
plete mastery over her.
The court room was crowded. and
many Of the spectators were women.
Tears were frequently shed. not only
by the general audience. but once or
twice by members OF the jury. Mrs.
Bradley was quite emotional, and her
voice was scarcely audible at times Her
attorneys. however. expressed conf
dence. after the witness left the stand.
that she would be able to proceed TO
the end without a breakdown. Mrs.
Bradley said her health had failed dur
ing her association with Brown. and
she told Of one occasion when she was
tempted to commit suicide.

INLAND WATERWAYS
Delegates From Atlantic Sea-
board in Session.
THE PROJECT OUTLINED
Senator Newlands Advocates Federal
Ownership Of the Canals - The
Speakers Did Not Antagonlze the
Railroads.

Philadelphia. Nov. 20.-The Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Conference. having
for its object the improvement Of in
land waterways along the Atlantic
coast, and more particularly the furth-
erance Of project for continuous In
land water route from the Carolinas TO
Boston. began at the Bellevue-Strat-
ford hotel here. The interest In the
question Of important inland water
ways was amply shown by the large
attendance OF representatives from
nearly all the Atlantic States from
Maine TO Florida, an attendance that
far exceeded the expectations OF the
promoters Of the conference, The del
egates numbered more than 300 and
were appointed either by the governor
Of their respective states or by COM
mercial bodies. Among those present
we're United States Senator Newlands,
of Nevada, who is vice-president OF
the United States Inland Waterways
commission; United States Senator du
Pont, of Delaware; Judge George
Gray, Of the United States circuit
SQUIRT, and congressman from the vari-
Gus states interested.
Each state delegation spoke for Its
particular section, and all approved
the general scheme OF the coastal
waterway The principal speaker was
Senator Newlands. who gave general
outline of the work of the national
waterways commission and promised
that the waterways along the Atlantic
coast would be given early attention
by that body. In the course OF the
proceedings Senator Nswiands an
nounced that he was opposed TO pri-
vate ownership Of canals that form a
part Of any inland water system All
inland water systems, he said, should
be controlled by the federal govern
ment. He was not opposed, he said, to
private capital building canals but the
government should b. In a position to
take them over at fair compensation
in case the government wants them In
any waterway scheme.
The general trend Of the addresses
was the great need OF the development
Of the waterways not only along the
Atlantic coast, but throughout the
country. None Of the speakers antag-
onized the railroads, but those who
touched upon railroad opposition, said
that the volume Of freight traffic In
the country was great enough to give
the railroads a profitable income after
the waterways receive their share OF
the traffic.
Several committees were appointed,
among them being one which probably
will draft a set Of resolutions asking
congress TO make surveys and other
wise give impetus to the movement.

Washington, Nov. 20.-The commu-

department approving the financial
policy adopted by the president and
Secretary Cortslyou, and the 8hbscrip-
tons which were received for the Pan
ana bonds and one year certificates
were the subject Of discussion at the
meeting OF the cabinet and afforded
general Qualification. While details re-
Earding subscriptions are not yet be-
ing made public. 1t seems to be the
feeling at the treasury that both loans
will be over subscribed. as was the
case with the popular loan OF 100000
900 issued by the Cleveland admins
tration in 1896.
Several very important questions
are being raised in communications
addressed to the treasury, but the
treasury oficials are exercising an I'M
usual amount of care In defining their
position. One OF these questions, up
on which no Official Information has
yet been given. is whether the
new one-year certificates will be avail
able for bank reserves. The law on
the subject seems to be sufficiently
clear. thai they are not available for
this purpose. but it is possible that the
presence of a few OF them In reserves
under present critical conditions
would be winked at; just as in the
case of clearing house certificates.
