WALSH DEFENSE HINDERS
CASHIER'S EVIDENCE
Chicago, November 22. Constant
wrangling between attorneys In the
Walsh case caused for tho most part
by numerous objections by tho de
fense to tho testimony or F. W. Mc
Lean, former cashier of tho Chicago
National Bank, delayed progress to
day. McLean took tho stand to Iden
tify memorandums which ho asserted
ho mado out and' signed under vari
ous names, later discounting these
instruments on orders from Walsh.
So vigorous, however, wero the objec
tions of tho defense to this line of
testimony that the cashier had not
finished his story whenadjournment
until Monday took place.
Tho steam schooner San Miguel
came Into tho bay yesterday after
noon.
Vote To N
The total vote today is One Hundred and Three and Empire is still in
the lead. Many have asked that tho single word "Coos" be placed on
the ballot Instead of City of Coos. For that reason all the votes now cast
being four for "City of Coos" will be counted for "Coos." This does not
in fact, change tho vote, because if the name of tho city is simply Coos,
It must be sued as the City of Coos. Marshfleld has to be sued as tho
"City of Marshfleld" and that is its corporate name. The absurdity of
calling a place "Coos City" Is evident when It is stated that if Coos City
were sued the action would have to be against the "City of Coos City."
The same Is true of Kansas City. Actions against Kansas City are always
against tho "City of Kansas City." So "Coos" merely means the "City of
Coos."
The vote up to date is as follows:
Empire 35
Coos Bay j 28

QUICK
HARRIMAN PROMISES TO MOVE NORTHWEST WHEAT CROP
AND EMPLOY 1000 CARS CONTINUOUSLY.
Portland, Ore., Nov. 22. Assur
ances were given to grain exporters
by the Harriman system today that
one thousand cars will be devoted to
transporting tho wheat crop of Or
egon, Washington and Idaho to tide
water from now until 'the entire crop
has been moved. This Is a solution
of tho problem which local bankers
and wheat dealers have been striving
to solve for week? past, for, with tho
movement of tho crop, It Is expected
that millions of dollars In gold will
bo sent to Portland and the Pacific
northwest. There has been for many
weeks past, something like $30,000,-

who have bought wheat and paid for

as collateral security. As soon as
the wheat Is delivered to tidewater
and reshlpped, bills of lading can bo
exchanged for gold In London, Now

"I Will Turn Heaven and Earth Until i
Marry You," Wrote Brown Be-
fore His Divorce
Washington, Nov. 22. The crim
inal court In which Mrs. Bradley is
being tried will hold no session to
morrow, and there will bo no further
proceedings until Monday. When
court adjourned today, the defense
had practically completed Its presen
tation of proof, very little remaining
except, the testimony of experts who
will bo introduced for the purpose of
showing that when Mrs. Bradley shot
Brown sho was insane. Today's pro
ceedings in tho case wero devoted
largoly to what may be designated as
odds and ends in tho shape of testi
mony. Mrs. Bradley's mother was
recalled for the purpose of clearing
up one point. Several more of the
Salt Lake witnesses wero examined
as to tho conduct and bearing of Mrs.
Bradley In that city. Mrs. Bradley's
uncle, Lyman Shrewbury, of Cali
fornia, told of Instances of insanity
and eccentricity in Mrs. Bradley's
family. Judge Henderson, Brown's
law partner, narrated Interviews with
Mrs. Bradley relative to her Intimacy
with Brown and a number of Brown's
letters to Mrs. Bradley wero read.
Reading of tho letters furnished tho
most Interesting Incident of tho day.
They were filled with mingled protes
tations of love and reproachs for In
terest in other men and they stirred
Mrs. Bradley to deep emotion. She
listened eagerly to tho reading, and
closing her eyes, seemed entirely lost
in the memory they awakened. The
defendant was not in a buoyant mood
today. Her manner was dejected, her
speech infrequent, and her face pale.
MORGAN AND RAKER
AT WHITE HOUSE
Washington, Nov. 22. A
conference is In progress at tho
White House tonight between
the president and J. P. Morgan,
Georgo F. Baker, president of
the First National Bank of New
York, and Assistant Secretary
Bacon. Although tho nature of
the conference was not dl-
vulged, it Is believed to bo In
relation to tho financial sltua-
tlon.

MAILS ARE OVER
TWO DAYS LATE
The mail situation is becoming an
noying very early in tho season this
year, and there havo already been
greater delays than at any time last
winter with one exception. Up to a
lato hour last night, no mail had
been received from the outsldo slnco
Wednesday noon, moro than two
days and a half. There havo been
many suggestions as to employing
some means of getting tho mall Into
Coos County without such aggravat
ing delays, but It begins to look as
if tho public will have to bo content
with the servlco as It Is until a rail
road reaches tho country.
It has been suggested that tho mall
bo brought by way of Drain, but this
Is Impracticable, slnco In tho dry sea
son It would bo ono day later than by
tho present route, and thero would
bo no assuranco of Its beating tho
other lino in tho wet months. Tho
presont delay Is not accounted for
except through tho knowledgo that
tho contractor has found tho mall
coming over his route has Increased
wondrously slnco ho took tho con
tract. ' A ton o'f mail each day Is a
largo quantity and whoro tho road is
In tho condition tho Coos Bay wagon
road Is, the only wonder is that any
mail gets through. It is understood
to bo a losing gamo for tho contractor
though ho Is trying his best to meet
tho requirements. But tho situation
still Is annoying and the business
men of tho bay do not enjoy It.
Times Want Ads Bring Rcalt.
Evidently there had been a reaction
at tho conclusion yesterday of her
testimony. She looked as if she had
had n sleepless night. She was not
so depressed however, that sho couldL
not laugh over tho testimony of her
uncle Indicating that her aunt had
been jealous of him.
The year 1901 was crowded with
letters from Brown to Mrs. Bradley
according to Mrs. Bradley's state
ment, but those sho preserved began,
with December of that year. On Jan
uary 7, he expressed confidence that
his wife would agree to a divorce on,
reasonable terms, "And then," he
said, "you and I will celebrato the
spring by ending our troubles in.
uniting for life." "The best thing I
can say on your birthday Is, hope and.
promise, and I believe It will coma
truo and you and I will bo rewarded
for our affection and devotion to each,
other by a life of mutual devotion."
February 17, ho tells her of a call up
on Mrs. Brown. "She answered tho
bell," he said, "I said 'I havo only a
moment. If you will consent I will
try to please you, but if nothing elsa
will answer, I will bring suit, etc.'y
she said she could not, and wanted to
talk longer; I said 'It must end here,,
I will bring suit,' and so it ended, I
thought rather unexpectedly. I be
lieve sho could bo persuaded to agree
with us, and yet as you say, tho moro
patience, tho less nctlon." On tho
same date ho telegraphed "Refuses.
Will proceed and win; don't doubt
it." And on tho 20th said, "I will
turn heaven and earth until I marry;
you."
