Although some of the salacious fea,
lures which were looked for at the trial
of Mrs. Anna N. Bradley for the muir
der of Senator Arthur NJ. Brown were
eliminated by direction Of the court,
there was enough of the sensational
connected Herewith to hold the atten-
ton not only of Washington but Of the
entire country. The prominence of the
man and the attractiveness Of the wom-
an, together with the manner Of the
shooting, invested the case with I'M
usual interest
Arthur NJ. Brown, leading citizen Of
Salt Lake City, man of great wealth
and for a brief time United States Sen
ator by appointment of the Governor
was a close friend to Mrs. Anna N.
Bradley. This was some years ago
when the frail-looking defendant was
robust of form and beautiful Of face.
For Browns sake she deserted her hus-
band, and although he would not heed
her pleas to marry her. she chung to
him. About year ago Brown went
from Utah to Washington. Mrs. Brad
ley heard that he was going to marry
Mrs. Anna c. Adams. mother of Maud
Adams, the great actress, and she fol-
lowed him. At his room in a Washing
ton hotel they had loud talk, the re-
suit of which was that she was said
to have shot him and he died five days
later. He refused to say anything
concerning the tragedy. Mrs. Bradley,
1t Is said, never denied the shooting,
pleading temporary insanity. Mrs.
Adams has declared that there was no
foundation for the report that she was
to have married Brown.
When the case came up for trial In
Washington Mrs. Bradley's story upon
the stand was that Brown won her
love by protestations of undying affec-
ton and promise Of marriage that he
urged her to get a divorce and Induced
her to get her trousseau.
The chief counsel for Mrs Bradley
was Orlando w. Powers, a native of
New York, who went to Utah to live
and is the leader of the Gentle party
there. He was made associate Justice
Of the Supreme Court of Utah by Pres
ident Cleveland. He has sat in the
State Legislature and has been an I'M
successful candidate for Congress-
Once he declined United States Sen
atorship for an unexpired term.
The jury brought in a verdict that
she was not guilty of the alleged muir
der Of former Senator Brown. The
plea Of temporary insanity at the time
the killing took place won after an all.

AN INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.

The New York World is right Now
that the Panama canal scandal has
reached the point where the presi-
dent finds it necessary to denounce
editors of the highest standard as
liars, the only proper course is to
have free, honest investigation OF
the whole subject by congress. II
Mr.. Delavin Smith and Mr.. Pulitzer
are the liars that Mr.. Roosevelt
would have us believe, then let the
fact be demonstrated in the only
way that will satisfy the country.
A vulgar exhibition of rage by Mr..
Roosevelt settles nothing. His state
ment disproves nothing, since not
solitary fact bearing upon the ques-
ton is offered by him, and the peo-
pie want the truth. The late Senator
Morgan endeavored to ascertain the
facts several years ago. but William
Nelson Cromwell, who knew the
facts, declined to answer the old
statesman pertinent interrogatories,
and the republican members of the
senate committee on interoceanic
canals encouraged the witness to re-
fuse to answer.
If a congressional committee,
made up of members who can be
trusted to make an honest investiga-
ton. be empowered to conduct an
inquiry and compel men to answer
questions and authorized to visit
Paris and ascertain the names of the
individuals to whom the $4,000, 900
finally went, there ought to be
little difficulty in arriving at the
truth. And until an investigation of
this scope is undertaken thousands
of people in this country will believe
the canal transaction was crooked
no matter if Mr. Roosevelt denoun-
ces men as liars until he is black in
the face.
Mr.. Charles p. Taft intimates that
he may bring action against the New
York World and indianapolis News,
but it is our judgment that this is
the merest buster. Let him bring
the action in such a way as to bring
the entire canal transaction into pub
lie view Mr.. Pulitzer and Mr. Smith
will not shrink from such a contest.
Those gentlemen have no ulterior
purpose in the premises. They have
reason to believe that the canal
transaction was accomplished by the
most shameful methods, and their
desire is to place the full truth be
fore the American people.
And the American people want the
facts and not such an exhibition of
temper as Mr.. Roosevelt has re-

He will be a little late in his arrival,
but the number of good things he
will take along will more than COM

Aside from the numerous pack

for the homeward voyage of the

Here is something to make Texas
farmers feel good. The Denison Her

are huddled in their homes while

pleasing to note that SO many OF our
farmers are blowing now. We are
fast coming to the realization that
the best cultivation given most OF
our crops is that given before plant
