Between ourselves, now where does the Democratic party of
New Jersey stand on the Sunday liquor selling question Isn't
it for Sunday opening in Newark, Orange, Jersey City, Hobo
ken, Paterson and Elizabeth And against it throughout
nearly all the remainder of the State2
The onlooker is naturally curious to know how a plan can
be shaped that will be satisfactory to the different localities.
By legislation permitting each municipality to do as it pleases
Or by the old Hudson County method of electing the " right

their enforcement, just as suits the locality
A little light and frankness on this point will be appre
ciated by thousands of voters. And they'd like to know

PLEA OF INSANITY
MRS. BRADLEY's TRIAL TO BE RE-
 sUMED MONDAY.
Attorney on Both Sides Were Busy Yesterday Preparing For Last
 Week of Famous Murder
 Trial,

washington, Nov. 23.-The attorneys on both sides of the Bradley case were very much engaged today in preparing for what all of them hope will be the last week of the famous murder trial.
 The case will be resumed next Mon- day and the defense will immediately enter upon the presentation of the in dications of insanity on the part of their client, to the experts who have been summoned to pass upon the mat ter In her behalf. They are tcday oc- cupied in putting the finishing touches upon the 'hypothetica question which they will propound to the experts and will have 1t fin the best possible shape when court convenes Monday. The mere reading of this question, contain ing as it does over 12,000 words, possi- bly will consume two hours of time. It will be read to the experts, who, after listening carefully, will be ex- pected to render their opinions as to the mental condition of Mrs. Bradley when she fired the fatal shot at her former lover, ex-Senator Brown, of Utah.
 The question will be in effect re- view of the entire defense in the case. It will discuss in detail much of the testimony and after grouping all of the facts indicating mental alteration and going to show eccentricity, insanity or peculiar physical condition on the part of ancestors, will then try.t force the conclusion that Mrs. Bradley was not responsible at the time of the tragedy. On the other hand. the pros- ecution will undertake to combat all the contentious and to show that the defendant was not only responsible when she fired the shot, but that all of her acts were deliberate and that she came to Washington with the avowed purpose of either compelling Senator Brown to marry her or of kill ing him.

 Script.
 Chicago, Nov. 23--A step looking to- wards the resumption of business on a cash basis has been saken by the Chicago Clearing House Association Letters have been mailed to bankers of the fiddle and Western sections of She country asking them to express their opinion on the general situation. These statements will be tabuiated and used by the Chicago fnanciers as l.uIta.ISn of the feeling outside f New York. There was general oppression favoring this move in a, leeting of the Association. James B. organ, president of the First National Bank. presided. Some of the members said that 1t might be advisable to hold u meeting when bankers from the country as well al business men both. of Chicago and from States adjacent to Illinois, would be invited to be present to discuss the question. Others expressed the opinion that the time was not ripe for such a meeting, and that at present 1t would be impossible to undertake to pay all checks in cur- rency.
 It was agreed finally shat the sem timent of the country in the Middle and Far West should be sounded and a letter was prepared. copies of which were forwarded yesterday. The let- ter was sent to every banker west of Pittsburg to the Pacific coast. 1t Is expected that replies will begin to come in by tomorrow. Answers to iet- ters sent to the farthest points, how-s aver cannont be received until the end of next week.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY
HUSBAND AND WIFE ARE FOUND
 MURDERED.
A Mystery That May Never Be Solved, Surrounds Their Death--It is
 Believed Woman Fired Fatal Shots.

New York, Nov. 23.-A mystery that may never be fully solved. surrounds the death of Nicholas Smith, a wealthy New York manufacturer and his wife, who were found shot to death in their home at New Castle early today.
 The bodies were found by firemen who had been summoned to fight a blaze In the cellar of the residence, which had been started by the murder CTS in the belief that the bodies of the victims would be incinerated and all traces of crime thus swept away.
 That only two persons were directly concerned in the tragedy is the belief of the police but whether 1t was the husband or the wife who fired the fatal shots and applied the torch. they do not know. Theory points to the wife as the slayer but there are circumstances which would make it appear that she could not have been the guilty one.
 In view of all these perplexing indi- cations the officials who thus far have investigated the case. decline to ad- vance any opinion. They say that If a solution ever Is reached. 1t must be reached by the coroner. Two servants in the house say that the Smiths had a quarrel last evening. Several hours later, long after midnight, shots were heard. The servants told the police to- day that they made no attempt to in- vestigate the cause of the shooting or its results as they feared to leave their rooms.
 They were found there when the firemen came and could throw little light on the tragedy. Mrs. Smiths body was found in her bed. She was lying as if asleep with both hands folded beneath her head. There was a bullet wound in the breast. Just across the thresh old. in an adjoining Ia ha nf no nd Ia was partly dressed. After the first nasty examination. the police concluded that Smith had killed his wife, fired the house and then ended his own life Later, however. a note found in Mrs. Smiths bedroom put an entirely diff ferent aspect on the affair. The note was:
 pear Minnie-I owe, a small sum to the B. r. Company. Please pay them and remit me. I cut off my hair but my headaches are not relived. I will be relieved in few minutes. Lovingly, Grace"
 An inventory of all the valuables in the same handwriting as in the note, also was found.
 stroy by fire had been made, was evil dent from an examination of the part ly burned cellar. The plug had been withdrawn from a barrel of oil and the whole cellar below and large quan- tity of broken wood which had been strewn about had been saturated. A servant told the police that the barrel of oil was removed to the cellar a few days ago from a stable by order of Mir. Smith
 Smith was a member of the firm of Frederick, Victor and Achilis. manu- lecturers of print cloth. and manufac- turers' agents of this country.

liam Pitt Kellogg. He still takes the keenest sort of interest in politics. though he has made Washington his home for so many years that he prob ably will no tendeayor to be dele gate to the next convention from Lou isiana.
 Mir. Kellogg does not think that President Roosevelt has the remotest idea of standing for another nornina- ton. In the first place he gives the President credit for having been sin cere in making his oeciaration on the night of the last national election. He says that in wording that statement the President was careful to call att tention to the fact that as he had served nearly four years as the suc- cessor of President Mckinley, he con sidered that as one term, and under no circumstances would he be can didate for another term.
 Mir. Kellogg was one of. the dele gates to the famous Chicago conven- ton in 1880 and voted with the 3ns to give General Grant third term. He stuck to Grant for thirty-six ballots in that memorable convention, and if Grant could not get third term. MT. Kellogg S,as not believe that any oth- CT man can.

HOLDING OF COTTON
DIRECTORS OF NATIONAL FARM
 ERs' UNION MEET.
It is Proposed to Store Cotton in Ware- houses and Make Warehouse Receipts Equivalent
 to Money.

New Orleans. Nov. 23.-The holding by cotton planters of at least 5000. .0Oo bales of this years crop in warehouses, until cotton brings 15 cents a pound. was the principal object of meeting of the Board of Directors of the Ma tional Farmers Union here today.
 Considerable reticence as to the pur- poses of the meeting was shown by the fifteen directors who participated. The financial situation was thought to re- quire the most careful cooperation by planters in order to hold up the price of cotton. It is proposed to store the cotton In warehouses and to make q warehouse receipt on cotton as nearly as possible the equivalent of money. in order better to insure the success of the storing scheme.
 The recommendations adopted in to- days meeting will be submitted to the vote of cotton planters in each of the States represented at the meeting. These States are: Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Tennes- see. Oklahoma. South Carolina and Ar kansas. c. S.

MIR. BRYAN AT | WHITE HOUSE Spends Half an Hour With Roosevelt. NO DETAILS OF INTERVIEW Nebraskan Discusses Plan to Aid
 Financial Stress. Democratic Leader Says Nothing seems to Meet situation as Effective
 as Plan Suggested
 By Him. Et
Q DETAILS OF INTERVIEW

Washington. Nov. 23.--PresidAnt Roosevelt and William J. Bryan were in conference for half an hour in the Presidents private office at the White House today.
 T was not invited to can,". MT. Bryan said on leaving, but I called upon the telephone and asked when the President would receive callers. and on being informed. came simply to pay my respects to the President !"
 MT. Bryan was not willing to discuss the details of his interview. but was free to add details to the financial plan which he proposed a few days ago. In reviewing every measure of relief which had come to his notice. Mir. Bryan said that nothing seemed to be intended as meeting the situa- ton as effective at the same time so simply as the plan he had suggested This plan, he said, was simply to have the Government depositors in national banks against loss by reason of the failure of the banks. It was not in- tended. he said. to have the Govern ment collect a fund for this purpose. to be kept on hand. Whenever a na- tfonal bank should be required to pay its depositors. it would be the duty of the Government to make an assess ment on all national banks to meet the amount of loss by reason of the failure. By assessment. Mir. Bryan <. said would be infinitely small.
 This plan. MT. Bryan conceded. might be made by banks who would be left out of the plan. The answer to this, he said. was that the States should individually take up the same scheme and stand as a guarantee against loss to depositors in State banks. lI fvEa
 Mir. Bryan said as yet no plan had been made to have his measure pre- sented on Congress. However. he felt very enthusiastic over the prospects of It's ultimate success.
 Being asked as to his position on the tariff. Mir. Bryan satd 1t was evi-5 9ent that nothing could be hoped for in the way of tariff revision. during this Congress. I am in favor of re-. moving the tariff on news print paper and wood pulp. an article controlled by trust, just as I am in favor of removing the tariff on all other trust controlled articles" he added
 Mir. Bryan remarked that he had had a very pleasant chat with the Presi- dent.

 these bills, other bills were presented making all refusals of this nature criminal offenses.
 The purpose of these bills was to al- low any person to assist in enforcing the new railroad laws and to so scat ter their enforcement that an injunc- tion would have no target.
 The Louisville and Nashville was especially punished by being put into the first class of railroads with It's al- lied lines. while the Southern, which had occupied place in the first ciassi- fication bill alongside of the Louisville and Nashville, was rewarded by being given a place in the third class, in which 1t could charge a much higher rate than the L. and N.
 Will the legislation enacted at the extra sesison keep the roads out of court? The next ten days will tell for practically all the bills become opera tive within ten days after their ap- proval by the Governor.
