Senator"

Senator Bradley has been guilty OF
gross indiscretion and OF conduct un-
becoming senator, In seeking a con.

sion he can expect from the committee
appointed by Lieut.. Gov. Ross.
The committee was In session more
than two hours last Friday. but did
not come TO a decision. IL IL had been
the intention OF the members to clear
Bradley, this could have been done
much more quickly. The committee
will meet again Tuesday, and VIII
probably be ready then to report to
the senate.
At least two members of the com
mittee, Senators Watkins and Taylor.
IL is expected, will be for the report
OF guilty. and Senator Guy Miller,
chairman, has clearly shown that the
matter had more serious aspect for

anime Townsend on his motives In
considering payment for his job.
One member OF the committee, Sen.
ator Watkins, Is reported to be for
report TO the senate recommending
that the seat OF Senator Bradley he
declared vacant. This probably will

had led the way. The colonel was
asleep In chair In his drawing room
when the train pulled into Detroit.
and Senators Bradley, of Kentucky,
and William Alden Smith. Of Michi-
gan, were jealousy guarding his
apartments, anxious 10 give him all
the rest he could get.
The colonel, however, greeted the
colored porter and the newspaper men
courteously, but told the scribes he
had nothing to say on public ques-
tons. He expressed admiration for
Detroit, saying II was the most beauti-
full city i'm the land.
In Jackson, Ann Arbor and Ypsi-
lanti, on the way TO Detroit. he got
out on the steps Of his car to shake
hands and say few words to. the
crowds which congregated. He told
the students. including many 'co-eds.
on the Ann Arbor platform, to be
brave, honest and morally strong
throughout their lives. He also gave
the boys little football talk, telling
them to show no timidity In the game,
but to be manly at all times.
