READY TO RENOUNCE HIM Betrothed of Dead Senator Anxious That lie Marry Mrs. Bradley., lie fused to Hate Woman WJio Killed Him. KEW YORK, Dec 14. (Special.) Mrs. Annie Adams. In the hotel where she is secluded under an- assumed name, to day weepingly told the story ot her grief at the death of ex-Senator Arthur Brown, and her pity for the woman who killed him. -. "I wrote him -the day of his death," she said, "absolving him from all obliga tions to me if he could brighten her clouded life. I told him I was willing to sacrifice my own happiness if he felt that lie 'owed a duty to her." Would Give Hun Up to Rival. This letter, which is now in the hands of Daniel Baker, the United States Dis trict Attorney, was the special delivery letter mailed in New York on the day of the Senator's death, and which reached Dr. White, his attendant physi cian, a few minutes before his distin guished patient's death. The letter be gan "Dear Heart." It was a letter ex pressing the writer's deep affection and also the spirit of renunciation. It showed . that Mrs. Adams bad risen to the height of giving up the man whom she loved for the sake of the unhappy woman he had wronged, and it seemed her ruling motive that he might do that which she was at last persuaded was his highest duty. Love Greater Than llafe. "In one of the Senator's letters he had said: 'I want you to see with my own eyes, hear with my ears', hate with my hate, and love with my love,' " said Mrs. Adams. "In one of my last letters to him, one which doubtless he had received just before the shooting, and the sight of which may have driven the unhappy woman to her terrible act, I said, 'It will be easy to learn to see with your eyes and to love with your love, but hate has never been a component of my na ture. Love is more powerful, but in time I may come to take your view of some persons, even of that unhappy woman.' " Mrs. Adams burst into fresh tears at the recollection and said: "To think that 1 am the cause of his death!" ONCE A PORTLAND FAVORITE Mrs. Adams Appeared at New Mar ket Theater in 18 79. Old timers in Portland have a peculiar Interest in the sensational announce ment that Mrs. Annie Adams, mother of ' Maude Adams, was soon to be married to ex-Senator Arthur Brown, who died Thursday from the effects of a revolver wound Inflicted by Mrs. Anna M. Brad ley. Mrs. Adams was Portland's favorite actress in 1873, when she appeared here at the old New Market Theater, in a dramatization of Frances Hodgson Bur nett's story "That Lass O'Lowries." "Little Maudie," now famous the world over as Lady Babbie and Peter Pan, made her debut in this piece. She was six years old at the time, and garbed in a little white frock, sang "Somebody's Coming When the Dewdrops Fall," a popular song of the day. Mrs. Adams was afterwards leading woman of the old New Market Stock Company wlfich John Maguire, the vet eran manager, organized during the same year. John 9. , Lindsey, a Shakespearean actor of some note who died recently, was leading mun. Portland people who know Mrs. Adams speak in the highest ttyms of her char acter and are greatly surprised at her connection with a somewhat scandalous case. She is about 5t years' of age and in recent years has played email parts with the Frohman companies. Brown's Body Off to Salt Lake. WASHINGTON. Dec. 14.

WILL TRY TWO OFFICERS Penrose and Macklin to Blame for Brownsville Riot- WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. On the rec ommendation of the General Staff, the Secretary oC War has ordered the trial by courtmartial of Major Charles W. Penrose and Captain Edgar A. Macklin of Company C, lirst battalion, Twenty llfth Infantry, under the sixty-second ar ticle of war for "conduct to the preju dice of good order and discipline," in failing in their duties in preventing and suppressing the riot at Brownsville, Tex., last August. The specifications will Include among other things the charges that the two officers named failed to exercise due diligence in preventing the occurrence when the condition of affairs at Browns ville made it necessary that all proper precaution should be taken to prevent a clash between the troops . and citizens; and also that they did. not examine the rifles of the men until daylight, al though they learned of the true state of affairs by 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. The details as to the membership of the court and the place where the trial will be had have been left to the dis cretion of the commanding officer of the Department of Texas. SOLUTION 0F. PROBLEM (Continued From First Page.) ernment, but that such land may be de veloped under a leasing or royalty sys tem. There will be other bills of simi lar character, and others drawn on radically different lines. All' will be considered in. detail, and out of trio discussion some form of practical legis lation is apt to be evolved. New Plan Means Monopoly. One of the most practical Westerners In Congress, discussing the President's plan, said: The President proposes to hold title to. Ml Government- coal land and have it ye ilty baaia. His idea la to ly and cheapen the coa) to in my nonmi opinion mat t )oi tho royalty eyatera will have the opposite effect, for the minute It becomes Impossible tor any one to acquire title to public coal lands those who now have title will run up the price of coal, and the consumer will be obliged to par it. There will not be any -great scramble to se cure coaling- privileges on a royalty basis, for the royalty required will reduce the profits of the individuals or corporations making sucb agreement, and men are not looking for Investments with narrow mar gins, when the West is full of other kinds of Investments that assure large profits. The minute our coal land is withdrawn, the present owners ot coal fields will have a monopoly and the people .will pay their price or go without. In time leases will be made and when coal operators operating under Government leases put their coal on the market they will have to fix a fair price over and above the cost of production, plus the royalty de manded by the Governments The minute that Is done, private owners of coal land will drop their price, for 'they can under sell the royalty men every day and still make a profit. The men developing Gov ernment coal land and paying a royalty will not be able to meet the price of the private coal land owners, and (hen there will be a crash. The knowledge that such a condition will exist will go a long way toward preventing men from making such leases or paying such royalties as the Pres ident advocates. His Is a nice theory, and on paper it looks all right, but when you attempt to put such a policy into opera tion I predict that failure will result, at least until - the private coal land holdings have been pretty well worked out. Solution Will Be Found. This coal land problem Is far too In tricate to be solved in a day; it can not be disposed of on theory alone, and until the many ramifications of the question have been studied out, no new coal land law will be enacted. Even now there are men who criticise the President for withdrawing the remain ing Government coal land from entry. It is asserted that he has no authority In law for making such a move, but, be that as it may, the withdrawals are' In effect, and are likely to stand until Congress provides a rerrredy, or legis lates directing their restoration to entry. The latter course is not apt to be followed. A great part of the time of the public land committees of both houses will be given over to the study of the coal land situation this Winter, and some legislation is- expected to re sult before March .4. OSCAR'S FATE IN BALANCE AGED SWEDISH KING CANNOT SURVIVE NEW ATTACK. Doctors Hide Worst' From People. Has Christmas Tree in Sick Koom and Gives Presents. STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec. 14. King Oscar's condition today shows consider able Improvement. Towards noon the following guarded official bulletin was issued: "King Oscar passed a quiet night. He slept six hours, oniy coughed a little and his temperature this morning was 100.9 Fahrenheit. His oulse is still irregular, but there is no increase of phlegm in the lungs. The patient's general condition is fairly satisfactory." Crown Prince Gustaf arrived today from Berlin and assumed the regency, which he will hold during his father's Illness. Today's official bulletin had the effect of reassuring the public, but the hopeful ness created was somewhat shaken when it leaked out in the course of the after noon that camphor and digitalis had been freely used in the treatment of the pa tient. The Impression Is gaining ground that lie King's condition is much more serious than reported by the bulletin. His majesty's condition is extremely serious and it is understood that the doc tors believe the patient could not survive another attack of the heart like that of Saturday. His majesty continues to be interested In affairs. Today he asked that a lighted Christmas tree be brought into the sick room, as he did not wish to be deprived, of his last Christmas pleasure. This, wish was acceded to and presents from the tree were distributed to members of the royal family. i ; ACCEPT, ROOFS NEW ISSUE Shepard Wants Democrats to Cham- , pion State Rights. NEW YORK, Dec. 14. Edward M. Shepard declares that the Democratic party should accept the Issue of cen tralization of power in the Federal Gov ernment made by Secretary Root in his address on Wednesday. "I think the existence of the Demo cratic party is more necessary day after day," Mr. Shepard said, "and especially do I think so after considering this speech of a man who may be truthfully called a trained statesman, although his idea of what our Government should be Is abhorrent to me. - "He proposes as a policy what we may call the destruction of the state and a complete and final subordination of the state power to the Federal power in Washington. The fight of the Democratic party against this idea goes back tonne days preceding the adoption of the Fed eral Constitution, and to that we owe the fact that a Federal and not a consolidated Kepublic was established." FINDS CHILD INEBRIATED Father Accuses Man of Giving, Liquor to Seven-Year-Old. J. A. Lyons, of 245 Front street, reported to the police last evening that when he and his wife returned home from work last night they found their 7-year-old daughter. Carmen, In a state of intoxication. He says liquor had been administered to the child by Gus Lavelle, who, the father , says, is in the habit of calling on Mary Howell, a domestic, who is left in charge of the, child while the parents are at work. Lyons stated that, when he returned, both the domestic and Lavelle were not present, and that it was necessary to call a physician to attend the child. Lyons stated further that Lavelle is known by other names and that he had forbidden the girl to receive him at the house. Officers have been detailed to look for Lavelle.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 14. Delegates from the various state committees to the an nual convention of the National Child Labor Convention, held a conference to day. Legal standard and methods of en forcement of child labor laws and "the child as an economic factor" were the subjects discussed today. House Committee Now Tied, but President Would Win Ovfer Two Republicans Is Restricted to South America and Orient. OREGONIAN NEWS BURBXu, Wash ington, Dec 14. Yesterday there was every indication that the ship subsidy bill was dead. Today word came that the President will send a special mess age to Congress urging its enactment and the situation . instantly changed. A special message on this subject will make the ship subsidy bill an admin istration measure and with the House overwhelmingly Republican, this is equivalent to making it law. Message Would Break Tie. Though the Republicans have a ma jority of six on the Merchant Marine Committee, four of their number are opposing subsidy legislation. One Democrat, now absent, is favorable to it. With a full committee there would be a tie .vote, nine to nine, but If the President interferes it is expected that at least two Republicans now oppos ing the bill will change their attitude and consent to report. The Grosvenor substitute, or a modification of that substitute, umakes - no provision for trans-Atlantic lines, but confines its benefits entirely to steamships ply ing between the Pacific Coast and the Orient and between our ports and South America. Speaker Cannon, it is learned, is now. ready to accept the Grosvenor substitute, if it be amended by adding a subsidy for a steamship line plying between Pacific Coast ports and all the principal ports on the west coast of South America. No Benefit to Portland. ' The Grosvenor substitute, if enacted into law, will not encourage the es tablishment of any new steamship lines on the Pacific unless the proposed Can non amendment is adopted. Otherwise all subsidies for Pacific steamships will be paid to the Boston Steamship Com pany and J. J. Hill's line from Puget Sound and to the Pacific Mail from Sail Francisco. Portland will bo shut out completely. As the bill passed the Senate last session, there was a pros pect that Portland might share in the benefits of the subsidy law, but unless the Senate makes a radical change in Grosvenor's bill, Portland will get no benefit. The Pacific Mail, Boston Steamship and Great Northern Steamship Com panies all have American-built and owned steamers, while the Portland & Asiatic line from Portland operates chartered German steamers, -which would not be entitled to subsidy under the bill. -T - MESSAGE ON SHIP SUBSIDY President to Explain Policy House Committee Deadlocked. WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. That Presi dent Roosevelt will send to Congress a special hiessage advocating the passage of a ship subsidy measure at the pres ent session was stated by several mem bers o the House today. It was said that the .President had declared that the recommendation In his annual mess age was misu.ndersto.od. In that message he said that if it were found inexpedient to pass 'the Senate bill, a measure should be passed to provide for a few lines to South American ports. He did not mean to minimize the importance of other features of the bill, it is said, and now purposes to correct any false impression that may have been gained by the House. No decision on ship subsidy was reached at the caucus of the Repub lican members of the House committee on merchant marine and fisheries held today. The amendments as drafted by Representative Grosvenor eliminate cargo subsidy entirely and limit . the Government's aid to mail-carrying ships to South America and the Orient. Even with these changes, the members of the committee from the Middle West do not favor the measure. May Pay Fare In Advertising. WASHINGTON. Dec. 14. Representa tive Garrett, of Tennessee, today intro duced a bill amendatory to the rail road law permitting publishers of newspapers and periodicals to accept the transportation from railroad com panies for advertising. It provides that the. transportation shall be, issued at regular public rates. Moody Will Take Oath Monday. WASHINGTON, Deo. 14.

EXPERT TALKS ON DAIRYING. Those Engaged In Industry In This State Have Many Advantages Over Eastern Competitors. v H. H. Webster, chief of tho dairy divi sion of the United States Department of Agriculture, la a guest in Portland, and like all others who come here and Inves tigate is predicting wonderful things for Oreeon. and the Willamette Valley In particular, in the dairying line. The opinions of Mr. Webster have a great deal of weight, as there is no better authority In the United States oil dairy ing than he, although he is still a .young man. . " "From what I have seen here I be lieve the natural conditions for dairying in Oregon are unexcelled," said Mr. Webster" last night. "I took a drive out in the country this .afternoon and saw excellent green pastures and this is the middle -of December. Taking into con sideration the fact that in the East cows must be dry fed about six months in the year At is a wonderful advantage that the dairymen of Oregon have. The dairymen in this part of the country probably have' the best market for their products in the United States. Butter is selling for more in Portland today than In New York. 1 believe splen did opportunities are offered here. A great deal bas been said about the op portunities in the dairying line that are presented in Oregon, so much in fact that many persons have inquired of me If there is not a possibility of the Indus try being overdone in this state. " 'No, emphatically no.' was my ans wer to them. I do not believe that it can ever be overdone out here. The more people who embark In the dairying business, provided they maintain a high standard with their products, the better. With the ever-increasing population there will be an ever-Increasing demand for dairy products. But the dairyman should maintain a high standard. That is es sentlal. The higher the standard the greater the demand, which will gradu ally Increase. "The Oregon dairymen have done well, everything considered. They have a good standard here and I hope that, they will maintain it. In the Northern and East ern states they have adopted more ad vanced and Scientific methods, but that will all come in time, as this Is a com paratively new field. The dairymen here will, or ought to, soon learn to select their herds and feed. It Is done by some of the big dairymen now, but not by the rank and. file. "The United States exports hardly any dairy products because the home market is the best. I believe, however, that some day we will be sending butter to Eng land. A great deal of butter consumed in England comes from Denmark. In Denmark they buy feed in the United States and then send the butter to Eng land. Think of that. Now we cannot export, for we have no surplus. Why only two years ago. In fact, we were Im porting butter from Australia. "We Import large quantities of cheese from Europe, but much cheese is manu factured In this country and sold as the European article. For Instance Swiss cheese, which . is just as good as that which comes from Europe, is manufac tured in Wisconsin and sold all over the United States. When the pure food law goes into effect 'the tirst of the year this Wisconsin cheese will have to be labeled as Swiss type cheese of domestic manu facture. As it is fully as good as that manufactured in Europe I believe - the American people will soon learn to ap preciate that fact. Now they do not know the difference, as they eat Wis consin cheese, believing it to be the im ported article." DAM MUST BE LOWERED Boise-Payette Company Wins Suit Against Canyon Company. BOISE, Idaho, Dec. 14. (Special.) A very interesting and important decision was rendered today In the District Court in a dam case. Suit was brought by the Boise-Payette Power Company against the Canyon Canal Company, to oblige it to lower its dam in the Payette River five feet. The dam was built 12 feet high and backed the water into the power plant "of the plaintiff company. Judge Stewart holds the dam must be lowered, as the rights of the power com pany attached before the older enter prise was started. The dam can be low ered but it will require the widening of the canal for some miles to admit of suf ficient flow. The canal is intended to irf rigate some 40,000 acres of land.

VICTORIA, B. C, Dec. 14. The Cana dian pelagic sealing catch of 14.J91 seal skins sold today at London, England, brought an average of $3 per skin less than last year. The average (price paid wa9 $21.56 and as the cost of getting the skins was fl per pelt in excess of the previous year the profits will be $4less than last year. The mild weather fn the early Winter In Europe and the fact that a large amount of skins taken by Japanese seal ers, who sent few skins last year, will be marketed at the January sales are considered to have aided in reducing the prices paid.
