THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. DECEMBER 1G, 1905. WANTS HER CHILD IE Mrs, Bradley Makes Strange Request to Warden at Washington. CAUSES POLITICAL SNARL Rival Lawyers In Utah Contest for Right to Defend She Call Brown Coward, but Insists ' He Ijoved Her. WASHINGTON. Deo. 15. (Special.) Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, who shot and killed ex-Senator Arthur Brown a week ago, made a remarkable request of Cap tain Harris, warden of the jail where she ls held, today. "I want teh privilege of having my youngest boy with me." she pleaded, when the warden passed her cell on his rounds. "That is impossible, madam." said the warden. Mrs. Bradley went on to ex plain: "Montgomery is only 4 years of age, and his mind will not grasp the position in which his mother is placed. He would be such a comfort to me, as he resembles his poor, dead father." - Later Mrs. Bradley took up the subject with her lawyer, Charles P.. Hoover. Would Not Realize She Is in Jail. "Arthur is several .years older, and he would realize events that are happening, but Montgomery would not, Indeed, he would not," begged Mrs. Bradley, her great black eyes filling with tears. Arthur and Montgomery are the chil dren of Brown, who had refused to marry Mrs. Bradley, although everybody in Utah knew him to be the father of her chil dren. The children are now in Bait Lake City with their aunt, but George M. Han son, secretary to Senator Sutherland, is planning to have the youngest child brought here. It is out of the question for the child to be lodged in the Jail, but arrange ments are being made to have the little boy boarded with friends near the prison. He will be taken over to see nis motner once a day. Political Rivalry" Aroused." Hx-Attorney-General Bagley, of Idaho, got here today and began a struggle with Mr. Sutherland for, the privilege of, de fending Mrs. Bradley. -Politically, in Utah Mrs. Bradley is apparently looked upon as an asset. At present Mrs. Brad ley is traveling with the Southern wing of the Utah Republicans. "Mr. Brown would never, never have wanted me to go to his political enemies to prepare my defense," she told the Warden today. Mr. Bagley's partner, ex-Chief Justice Bertch, of Utah, was Brown's bitterest political enemy.

WHEN the strike was really on the care of several hundred young girls did not appear quite so simple to Portland's mer chants bs it had when there was only a prospect. But the affair came with such little notice and found them all so entirely unprepared for such an emergency that the managers of all stores did amazingly well, all condi tions considered. Delivery wagons had left the various stores at 4 o'clock on their last rounds, and this left the Btores deprived of their own convey ances. Vehicles of all kinds went up in price and were not to be had in any number, as the street pedestrians and late shoppers were utilising then. The scene about the Alder and Fifth street blocks of Meier & Frank's pre sented a scene which vied with the strike riots when closing time came. Julius Meier had been making every possible arrangement for the care of his 1000 employes from. the time the strike was on, and managed the crowd UNION THANHS MTB1JC. At its meeting In Drew Hall last night the Street Railway Men's Union passed resolutions thanking the public for sympathy shown Its cause and deploring all violence In the conduct of the strike. The reso lutions follow: "Whereas, the Amalgamated Asso ciation of Street and Electric Rail way Employes of America, Division No. 181, In meeting assembled, view with appreciation and deep grati tude the great and earnest expres sion of sympathy so vividly demon strated by the people of Portland on the occasion of the flrat effort of the carmen to demand recognition, therefore "Be it resolved. That we show our appreciation to the people of Port land by making every effort to dis courage any Tlotous conduct or violence on the part of those who are carried away by their enthusi asm or manifestation of sympathy for us." admirably.- His first effort was to hire 20 automobiles, but word came from the various garages that that number was not to be had, and only 16 machines were picked up and sev eral carriages secured. Then the Auto Dispatch and soma big wagons and a hotel bus were resorted to, and those who could not ride and did not care to remain at hotels at the firm's ex pense walked home in . crowds, Mr. Meier taking great care to see that no young girls started away without protection. As the employes filed out the Alder street entrance they were segregated into neighborhood groups, and banners marked Sellwood, Lenta, St, Johns, 28th and Montavilla, Sun nyslde. Piedmont and Irvington at tracted their various residents. The Albina crowd was first to get away, one of the largest automobiles in the city carrying them off with a flour ish, and a furious blowing of horns, while the remaining crowd gave a re sounding cheer that brought many curious spectators running to the scene. There was only one girl left, and Mr. Meier's family invited her to their home for the night. Olds, Wortman & King sent many of their suburban employes home at o'clock, and all through the evening those whose friends called were al lowed to start home. Many of the Mrs. Bradley is planning her defense, not in fear of her own fate, but to prove that Brown was the father of ner cnn dren and that they are honestly entitled to bear his name. She blames Brown's children, who yesterday took his body back to Utah, for his refusal to marry her. He Kissed Her Thanksgiving. "He was a coward," she cried bitterly, "and afraid of his older children. He wavered and promised and evaded. There was no quarrel between us. - We had Thanksgiving dinner together. That day he kissed me in front of Wilson s Hotel, and when I protested at a public demon stration of affection, he said: " 'Why, all the world knows I love you. Dotty.- You are the only woman.' I ever loved." "We were to have been married at New Tear's. He promised me - a fine home, but I wanted to put my children right before the world. In Salt Lake City, where my nine years of suffering are known, I would be acquitted. Here they don't know, but it doesn't matter about me. I think only of my poor little chil dren." CIIL15 PRESIDENT DASTARD RAILROAD MAX pXKAGED AT CRITICISM OF JUDGES. Head of Ij. & K". Road Says Political leaders Threaten Confisca tion of Property. NEW ORLEANS, Deci 15. Presfdent Milton H. Smith, of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, speaking1 on "The Great Railroads of the South' at a banquet of the New Orleans Progress ive Union, said tonight: The cost of operating and maintaining railways has been Increasing with leaps and bounds. 'To add to tfae anxiety, tha owners of railway property are threatened with possible confiscation by tha people, who are, to an extent, debauched by political leaders, who for selfish reasons denounce corporations, falsely char gins; them with ruining the country. president Roosevelt has In two annual messages sharply criticised two of the Fed eral Judges because they have rendered de cisions unsatisfactory to him. He and the Department of Justice have. In effect, pur sued a course of intimidation not heretofore attempted. When It Is considered that the Presi dent appoints the Judges, .which In cludes their proomtlon. it Is not too much to characterize his conduct as dastardly. His plaint Is that the Government has not the right of appeal and that the decisions which he denounced were final. Are the Judges at fault because the laws of the country do not provide for an appeal In criminal cases? Since the creation of the Government the law has been that a man accused of crime and acquitted cannot again be tried for the same offense his life and liberty may not again be jeopardized. The justice of such a law will not, I think, be denied. ; . Labor Asks Postal Savings banks. SALT LAKE. Dec. 15. The Utah Federation of Labor has resolved to circulate a petition to Congress ask ing the creation of a postal savings bank. The move is to be under the auspplces of the American Federation of Labor, with which the Utah Feder ation is affiliated., women and girls had friends near In, with, whom they could" remain for the night, and the firm made a thorough canvass of the store to learn how many lived at a distance. Hotel rooms were offered to all who cared to remain in town, and many accepted this alterna tive. Llpman & Wolfe got as many con veyances as possible. Including some carriages and automobiles, and sent many of their girls who could not be taken home in this way to the Y. W." C. A. headquarters and to the- "local hotels. Many of the store - employes who live within walking distance in vited the suburban residents to accom pany them homp for the night, and in that way the employes of tfiis store were well cared for. It was found In many of the stores that numbers of the employes had no telephones in their homes, and this made it impos sible - for them, especially for young girls, to remain in the city, as they had no way of notifying their, parents. None of the firm's managers would say Just what arrangements they would make for the week if the strike was not brokeh by -Monday. In fact, all of them were inclined . to believe that the trouble would be"' settled by Mon day morning and that, there would j oe no occasion lor a repetition, oi last night's lnconvenience.'They were unan imous, however, In declaring that if it Is not over by then their employes will be well cared- for. Julius Meier, of the Meier & Frank Com pany, when informed by The Oregonian yesterday afternoon that the carmen's strike had been ordered and would go into effect within an hour or two. Immediately set about making arrangements and giv ing orders for the convenience and care of ttat 1000 employes of the firm. "If the car system is held up," said Mr. Meier, without a moment's hesitation, "our people, ; and ' particularly our girls, are going to be well taken care of; I can tell you that. We will serve them, free of charge, with refreshments at 6 o'clock, and when the store closes there will not be a single one of our 800. girls who will have to go home alone. We will manage some sort of conveyance for those who have to go far, and we will see to it that not one of the girls Is turned out to get home alone In the dark. We will do this so long as the strike keeps up. We shall protect our girls in every way we can, and do our best to minimize the hardship that will come to them through the car strike. We . have a lot of wagons and vans, and none, of the girls will have to walk far. We. will take particular care to see that our very young girls get home safely none of them are under 16 years of age, for we keep strictly within the limits of the child-labor law but .we have many girla under. 20 at work for us, and they shall all be properly protected." H. C. Wortman. of Olds. Wortman & King, was no less prompt In starting preparations, although he had heard no hint of the pending strike until informed of it by The Oregonian. "Why," said he,, "we will have to get busy at once. We have between 500 and 600 girls working here, and they have every one got to be taken care of. If this strike news is authenticated, you can rely upon it, our girls are not going to be allowed to suffer. We are prepared to feed them all at the supper hour and every one of our employes shall be treated properly. If we had not adver tised to keep open tonight, I believe we would close our doors at once, and let our girls get home before the cars stop. As it is, we'll try to let the girls who live farthest get away early, so they can get home before very late or better still, we will get some of our wagons In and take a few loads of them home. We can take care of the suburb girls that way. and we will see to It that the rest do not have to go home unprotected. We wbi reke evefjf preparation for the com BUILD MORE TO KEEP UP NAVY Dewey Says Present Policy of Congress Is Retro grade Move. VESSELS GO OUT OF DATE Admiral Says Three New Battleships Yearly Are Necessary to Maintain Maritime Power Comparison With Other Nations. WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. (Special.) Admiral "Dewey believes that the au thorization by Congress of at least three large battleships a year Is es sential for keeping the American Navy in a -state ' of , efficiency and that the policy of one battleship a year now be ing urged by a certain element, would be a. positive retrograde movement. - He was asked if the policy suggested ly some persons of only providing one battleship during an entire Congress would result in an actual increase in the Navy or in a virtual decrease In fighting strength. Many Ships Out of Date, "Such a policy would be retrograde In its character," said the Admiral. "It would not take up the waste or sup ply the places of the ships that are bound to deteriorate and which should be placed out of commission. We have three battleships which were fine ships in their day, but they were laid down In 1891, about 16 years ago. They are the Indiana, the Oregon and the Mas sachusetts. They have the defect of not possessing balance turrets, which causes a list when their guns are all trained to one side, thus exposing the hull below the water line and laying the ships open to danger from the fire of an enemy on that side. Three Battleships a Tear. "If I should be asked what number of ships would supply the wear and tear and keep the Navy apace with the times and In a state of proper efficiency, I should say that it would be an authorization by Congress of at least three large battle ships a year. "Up to January 1, 1907, the battleship strength of the different nations, which Includes ships of 10,000 tons displacement or more, is as follows: "Great Britain, 66; Germany, JO; France, 19; United States, JS; Japan, 11; Russia,-8; Italy, 9; Austria, 2. "The armored cruiser strength of each is: "Great Britain, 32; France, 20; Japan, 9; United States 8; Germany, 6. What Nations Are Building. - "In the same statement we And that Great Britain Is building five battleships fort and protection of our girts through out the strike, and we can arrange a schedule whereby the girls . living In distant parts of the city can. come to work a little later In the morning and quit earlier at night. The holiday rush is hard enough on them anyway, and they are not going to suffer any addi tional hardship. If we can prevent it." With this Mr. Wortman turned to Man ager Bell and instructed him to arrange for 6 o'clock refreshments for all the clerks and to get a line on the where abouts of- all the firm's delivery wagons, vans and everything else on wheels." I. N. Lipman, of the Llpman, Wolfe Company, took the news of the pending streetcar, tie-up, very calmly. After pon dering a moment, be said very cheerfully: "Why, that's air right. We aren't go ing to worry any. True enough, we have between 400 and 500 good girls here on our hands, and we will have to take care of them, but we can do that all right. They won't go hungry, even If they can't get home for their dinners, and even if the cars are not running, there are plenty of hacks, wagons and automobiles. In town. Don't you worry,' our girls will POSSESSED OF STRANGE KRENZV. The scenes along Washington street last night were strange. The mobs seemed possessed of a frensy . to stop streetcars and after a brief time when persuasion alone was -used, the desire to smash car --windows . became general. Whenever one was broken the crowd cheered. Hre 1 comes ' a ' car," someone yelled. . "I'll eat that oar If It gets past here," shouted another. "Leave It to me, I saw it first, pleaded a third. When scattering eggs and stones failed to drive men from the oars, the crowd lined up along- one side and pelted -the ear until the men In- side fled for. their. lives." Women In the mobs seemed as wild as the men and as eager to see - the cars wrecked. Many screamed encouragement to those - who led- -the attacks on cars. get home' all right, cars or no cars, and they- won't Walk, either." "How about the Christmas shopping?' Mr. Llpman was asked. - "Do you suppose for a minute that Portland people are afraid of a little walk?" --replied Mr. Llpman. lWhy,. walk ing is. the healthiest exercise in the world, and any one within the city limits can walk home and enjoy tt here in our fine climate. And too, the Christmas sea son Is on," and people are bound to buy their presents. Do you suppose anybody is going to quit buying presents Just be cause the cars stop? Not for a minute the happiness of the -children is far too important for that. If people can't ride down town, they are going to walk. They are going to buy their Christmas pres ents all right, and I would like to see the car strike, or any other kind of a strike, that would stop them. Nothing short of a blizzard and we don't have blizzards often in Portland would stop the Christmas buying Just now; it might have a couple of weeks ago, but it won't now. for Christmas is too close at hand, and there isn't any time to stop for a little thing like a car-strike. That's the way we feel about it here, and we are not going to worry a bit. Tes, our girls are going to have the very best care in the world, and it will be automobiles. If we can't get hold of enough of our own veiMOles to take them all home." .

Equipped for ser vice, the new battleship Connecticut left the New York Navy-yard today, bound for Hampton Roads, Vs., to join the At lantlo fleet. . The Connecticut underwent all the tests of her contract at the yard. Her departure la the first instance In which a battleship has gone direct from the building yard to sea. The naval ex aminer who has had charge of the com pletion of the Connecticut said: "Hera goes out a ship which demolishes all the records of the world In naval con struction.
