Mrs. Bradley VIII Not Be Tried Until
October.

Washington, May S.-At the request
OF Attorney Hover, representing Mrs.
Annie M. Bradley, who is under in
dictment for the murder of former
United States Senator Arthur Brown
OF Utah, the trial of Mrs. Bradley was
today postponed by Judge Stafford Of
the criminal court until October z.
the request of postponement was
based upon the Illness of Judge o. w.
Powers of Salt Lake City, upon whom
as one of Mrs. Bradley's counsel has
devolved the duty of securing evidence
in Utah in her behalf. Mr.. Hoover,
presented an affidavit. stating that
Judge Powers recently has suffered
1T would be practically impossible for
him to proceed with his branch of the
inquiry in time to present dispositions
and bring witnesses to Washington for
the present term of court. Under
these circumstances Judge Stafford
readily assented to the postponement,
saying that as the woman's life was at
stake she should have every opportun-
ity for defense.
During the brief presentation of
the case to the court today Mr.. Hoov-
er made the definite statement that
Mrs. Bradley's defense will be that of
insanity. 1t was announced that about
twenty-five witnesses in the west will
be asked to testify in the case, but that
of these only about five will be brought
to Washington Mr.. Baker did not
make any definite objection to post
ponement, but said that after the first
or July the appropriation for witnesses
would not be sufficient to pay the ex-
penses OF bringing any witnesses from
such a distance as Salt Lake City.

Sensational utterances in the sessions of the Ma

lie questions, moral issues are the most difficult to
raise in America at present Yet some of the charges
being made in the Michigan meeting startling
that it is almost incredible that federal and state a-

said that race suicide attempted in this country

The only possible value of such utterances is their
actual application to normal conditions. Human

During the past few months construction has been
naugurated on two lines of road radiatng from the
capital of the state. One has reached Caldwell, on
the route of the transcontnenal Oregon Short Line
thirty miles away. Another interurban line has been
projected to Nampa, twenty miles away in south
westerly direction, also station the Oregon Short
line and from there to CALDWELL Twelve miles of this
project have been completed and it will not halt
til it reaches its destination. At Nampa the con-
structng corporation is in possession OF local street

Meeting link between two urban systems. This road
will not halt at Nampa but will be extended to Cald-

PARADISE FISHES.
These Creatures Live In Odd Nests
Composed of Air Bubbles.

Composed of Air Bubbles.
Paradise fishes come from Japan,
and their nests are very odd indeed,
for they are composed of ai- bubbles.
Unlike goldfish, they will breed and
raise their young in an aquarium or
even in a glass globe, and they raise
three or four broods each year.
Ordinarily the male paradise fish is
of dull silvery color. but when he
goes ACQUIRING he puts on a brilliant
coat, striped with streaks of red, blue
and green. When the female fish is
ready to lay eggs. she builds her nest
by swallowing air and making blbbles,
which are held together by a sticky
secretion that comes from her mouth.
The eggs rise in the water and find a
resting place among the air bubbles, to
which they cling. The female fish tries
TO swallow the eggs, but her husband
drives her away and keeps guard until
the eggs are hatched. If the air bub-
bles burst. the male fish blows some
more. so that the nest is always float
ing on the surface of the water.
At the end OF five days the young are
hatched out. They cannot swim. but
cling like tadpoles to the air bubbles
If one falls, the father fish catches it
in his mouth and blows it up among
the bubbles again. He does not leave
his little ones until they are able to
swim. and then they take care of them
selves.
