SAYS HUSBAND SHOT HER

She Got Wounds.

On what is believed to be her death bed
Mrs Arthur Brady, wife of a well-to-do
farmer of Golden's Bridge. made state
ment to Coroner Squire yesterday, in which
she told how her husband had fired a bull
let into her right breast on Tuesday even
ing. Brady was put under arrest last night
at his home.
Coroner Squire, with Under Sheriff Will
lam ]. Doyle of Westchester County, went
to the Brady home yesterday afternoon to
investigate the shooting and what led up
to it. Taking up his position alongside the
woman's bed, the Coroner asked her to tell
him exactly what happened the day of
the shooting. Mrs. Brady said she came
home on Tuesday evening. after having
spent the day looking for a nurse for her
husband, who is paralyzed from the waist
down.
While she was sitting in a chair, about
six feet from Brady, she said he suddenly
picked up a revolver and shot her in the
right arm, the bullet ploughing through the
arm and entering her breast. Although she
was weak from shock, Mrs. Brady went
downstairs to the telephone and told Dr.
W. j. Carpenter, the family physician, that
she had been shot by her husband

GO TO HUGHES
Governors Action on Parade
Protest May Be Known Today.
MAY RESCIND THE ORDER
Aroused Public Opinion Solidly
Opposed to Forcing Men
Into Needless March.

In view of the substantial sentiment ex-
pressed against the ordering out OF the ma
tional guard to parade on the Fourth, the
petitions of thousands of citizens which
have been received by The Tribune during
the last few days in the form of coupons
published for the purpose of obtaining an
expression of public opinion on the subject
were sent TO Governor Hughes yesterday
with the citizens request in each OF them
that the order for the parade should be
rescinded.
Whatever action the Governor may take
in the matter will probably be known to-
day. This would give time to the many
guardsmen who are known to be DESTROYS
of spending the extended holiday out of
the city to accomplish their plans, should
the Governor rescind the order.
So strong have been the protests Of many
prominent citizens in opposition to the
proposed parade. and the complaints of
the guardsmen themselves have been heard
SO generally from all quarters. though they
are compelled to obey orders without the
chance of freely speaking their minds.
that 1t is expected the state authorities will
be inclined to rescind the order.
Protests in the form of letters from the
guardsmen themselves and from former
members of the organization and many
other citizens continued to pour into The
Tribune office yesterday. They are all writ
ten in a spirit of unselfshness, which in
way belittles the patriotic spirit of the
national guard to do duty when called upon
in time of need, but the letters are none
the less forceful in deploring the order to
march on Independence Day as senseless
and unnecessary

rade on the Fourth They arrived home
on Wednesday night. 1t had been expect
ed that the 9th would be excluded from
the general order because of the Fisher
Island tour of duty, and there was dis
gruntled lot of men at the 14th street ar
mory when they learned that they would
have to parade.
1T is mighty hard on the men," said one
OF their officers yesterday, Ito give up their
summer vacation for a tour of duty and
then have to lose holiday on the Fourth
The ten days tour meant serious and ex-
acting work for the whole regiment and a
great deal was accomplished in a techni-
cal way. 1 think the majority of the men
are further than ever just now from en-
pertaining desire to turn out for the In
dependence Day celebration merely to show
themselves off,
There is little chance that the Fourth
will not be as excessively hot as usual.
and this element of the weather, In the
light of possible heat prostrattons and
serious injury TO health, has formed gen
eral basis of complaint from those who con-
slider it foolhardly TO subject the sol1iers
in their close fitting and hot uniforms to
the heat.

minutes later with a heavy washtub he
was sent for a 200-pound cake of ice.
Tub and ice were put in the fireplace.
Mr.. Wilson directed the training of his
largest electric fan on the tub and it's

No Halfway Grounds with the
Progressives. He SAYS.

Cleveland, July I'm accepting an invi-

land on July II. James r. Garfield, former
Secretary of the Interior, wrote to the or
ganization a letter defining his attitude on
Progressive Republicanism.
1T is most timely TO consider what the
Progressive movement means and what
action IT calls for wrote Mr.. Garfield.
''Those who seek to drive the Progressives
out of the Republican party are blind TO
the conditions and needs of our people.
Such partisans would save the word, but
kill the spirit
After describing the revolutionary lead
ers as Progressives, Mr. Garfield continued:
To-day political liberty is at stake and
the life of the nation is threatened by great
special interests that would control our
political activities for their own benefit,
regardless of the common good. There is
no halfway ground in the fight of to-day.
The special interests must be driven out

of to-day will win the battle
