Mrs. Bradley will be arraigned In po
lice court on the charge of murder.
Her attorneys will Bet up In the de
fense that she was Justified under the
unwritten law" In shooting Mr. Brown.
Mr. Brown's life was prolonged for
Feveral hours by the injection of salt
solution and by administering oxygen.
lr. Charles White, superintendent of
the hospital, declared that Senator
Brown's case was one of the most re
markable that had ever come under
his observation.
fchot 'Only Indirect Cause of Death.
His death was due to complications
brought on by kidney trouble, and not
to septic poisoning as a result of the
wound. The shock of the bullet -wound,
however, had aggravated the affection
of the kidneys until these organs re
fused to perform their functions.
i ne of the assistant district attor
neys made another fruitless effort to
secure an ante mortem statement, but
Mr. Brown refused to talk.
Dr. W. L. Sheep, and Max Brown and
Miss Alice Brown, of Columbus, O.,
the ex-Senator's son and daughter re
spectively, were at the. bedside . when
lie expired. He had been unconscious
for several hours.
After the autopsy is performed the body
'will be taken to Salt Lake City for
burial.
Mrs. Bradley Almost Collapsed.
Mrs. Bradley was notified of Mr.
brown's death at 12:43 A. M. She made
no comment. She is on the verge of col
lapse, and her physicians say it may be
several days before she is able to be
arraigned In court. She will be trans
ferred from the house of detention to a
cell in the district jail. The prisoner to
day refused to pose for a photograph
when the police photographer called at
the hou.se of detention.
Mrs. Anna C. Adams, mother of Maud
Adams, the actress, was notified of Mr.
Brown's death by Dr. White. She will
arrive in Washington tomorrow and will
accompany the body to Salt Lake City.
Mrs. Adams" name has been brought Into
the case in connection with letters which
she wrote to Brown and were found in
the possession of Mrs. Bradley when she
was arrested." The former Senator's son
says Mrs. Adams has been long a per
sonal friend of the family.
How She Trailed Brown.
It was to appear as counsel before the
Supreme Court of the United States on
Monday in a mining eawe that Mr. Brown
caine.lo Washington, where he was fol
lowed by Mrs. Bradley, who, it Is said,
learned of his appointment to meet Mrs.
Adams in New York after he had ap
peared before the Supreme" Court. She
left for Washington Immediately and
registered at the hotel Kalelgh as "Mrs.
Anna Brown," and was assigned to a
room near Senator Brown's apartments.
According to a statement made by Mr.
Brown shortly after he was taken to the
hospital, ho found Mrs. Bradley in his
room going through his private papers.
!ie demanded that he marry her at once
and, when ho refused, she tired the shot
which tonight proved fatal. There was
Jio eye witness to the tragedy.
AS' IF FROM THE DEAD
Husband and Wife Kcunilcd After
Strange Separation.
MILWAUKKE, Wis., Pec. 12. A hus
band and wife, separated since the San
Francisco earthquake, and each believing-
the other dead until a few days
ago. are to he reunited as soon as a
train bearing Mrs. Hattie Politz west
ward can reach Stockton, Cal. Iast
Summer Mrs. Politz brought from Cali
fornia to Oshkosh, Wis., the charred
body of a man and buried it in River
side Cemetery, in the belief that the
body was that of her husband. Re
cently she learned that her husband
was living on a ranch in California. A
long-distance telephone conversation,
with her husband confirmed the news,
and Mrs. Politz prepared to leave for
Stockton.
The joy of the reunion will be marred
by a touch of sadness, for one of their
children was killed after the husband
and wife were separated, and another
child, born since then, did not live.
Of these things, as well as of the
whereabouts of his wife, Politz was In
Ignorance. He regarded his entire fam
ily as dead. The family lived in an
apartment at San Francisco at the time
of tho earthquake, and in the awful
days following the disaster became
separated from each other.

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec. 12. Senator Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, introduced several Kast
cm capitalists to the President today
and told him they were seeking Gov
ernment aid In the construction of rail

ly informed them that Governor Hog

there was ample capital to back all
legitimate projects. The President
said he heartily concurred in Mr. Hog
gatf views.

GREAT GROWTH OF POWER
(Continued from First Page.)
exercised In particular Instances by the gov
ernments of the states, but the people will
have the control Ihcy need, either from the
state or from the National Government, and
if the states fall to furnish It In due meas
ure, sooner or later constructions of the con
stitution will be found to vest the power
where It will be exercised in the .National
Government.
The true and only way to preserve state
authority Is to be found in the awakened
conscience of the states, their broadened views
and higher standard of responsibility to the
general public, in effective legislation by the
Mates in conformity to the general moral
sense of the country and in the vigorous exer
cise for the general public good of . the state
authority which is to be preserved.
Fruitgrowers Oppose Sparkman Bill.
LOS ANGELES. Cal., Dec. 12. Cali
fornia's citrus fruitgrowers and ship
pers are being lined up with a view to
making an effort to prevent the
passage of a measure now before Con
gress known as the Sparkman bill.
This bttl, which was introduced by
Representative Sparkman, of Florida
at the last session, seeks to regulate
the size and style of orange boxes
used by shippers all oveV the country.
It Is claimed in the interest of ship
pers that last year the price of boxes
was raised from 12 Mi to 21 cents, and
this bill, if enacted into law, would
compel them to urge a certain make
of box, thus allowing a further in
crease in price.

INVESTIGATE TWO EVILS
Civic Federation Urged by Belmont
to Consider Swollen Fortunes.
Labor Leader on Injunctions.
Committee on Child Labor.
NEW YORK. Dec. 12. With well
nigh 250 persons in attendance, the
National Civic Federation began Its
fifth annual meeting today in the Park
Avenue Hotel. Among those present
were: Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius N.
Bliss, Oscar Straus, Nicholas Murray
Butler, Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Pot
ter, ex-Governor David R. Francis,
Henry Phipps, Clarence H. Mackay,
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell, Dr.
Washington Gladden, .Clarke Howell
and James Speyer.
August Belmont, president of the
Federation, in his opening address,
urge4 the appointment of a committee
to Investigate the problems growing
out of the accumulation of great for
tunes. This suMect will be considered
tomorrow.
Belmont on Taxing Wealth.
"No subject can bring greater good
to this country if correctly solved,"
said he, "or greater harm, If for wise
and just taxation punitive spoliation
and the destruction of our boundless
spirit of enterprise through hampering
regulations be substituted."
Government by injunction was char
acterized by Mr. Belmont as "another
burning subject to be discussed." He
said he was not sure that President
Roosevelt's proposition for compulsory
investigation of industrial disturbances
is advisable. He doubted the wisdom
of Government interference, but the
greatest justification for such a policy
would be in the case of quasi public
corporations. '
Mr. Belmont also called attention to
that portion of- the President's mess
age, wherein the President denounced
the effort to prohibit all combination
of capital.
Injustice by Injunction.
The Federation then took up the
governmen by injunction question.
Carl Spelling, general attorney for the
American Federation of Labor, said
today in labor disputes judges have
sent forth decrees which were special
legislation and have paralyzed and
rendered abortive all the efforts on the
part of the labor side of that dispute.
An injunction, he said, should never
be granted except to protect property
or property rights. He continued:
. It is deplorable that men should be ad
vised to commit crime, but more deplorable
if irresponsible men on the banch are to be
allowed to usurp authority above the law
and become unrestrained despots: to take
one side in every dispute: to decide ex-parte
that hundreds of thousands of men are about
to violate tho law and send forth special
decrees to paralyze and destroy the rights
of all these men. . That is the most danger
ous tendency in our Government. If these
vicious and far-reaching precedents are to
be recognized or the courts permitted to go
on building more on top of these, they will
soon constitute and erect a power as des
potic as that which destroyed Rome.
He declared that It was seldom that
strikers ever resort to actual violence,
but that they frequently appoint com
mittees to help the police preserve the
peace. The speaker said the UPearre
bill, which is before Congress, em
bodies the proper and. legitimate de
mands of organized labor.
Walter Drew, Commissioner of the
National Iron Erectors' Association, in
replying to Mr. Spelling, declared that
the latter's argument was fallacious
in that it went to prove that Injunc
tions should not issue in any case,
while he sought to prove that they
should issue to protect nothing but
purely property and physical property
rights.
Investigate Child Labor.
Samuel McCune Lindsay, secretary of
the National Child Labor Committee,
said the Beveridge-Parsons bill recent
ly introduced in Congress for a Na
tional child labor law would cut the
heart out of the child, labor evil at
a single blow.
A resolution was adopted providing
that the presidents of the National As
sociation of Manufacturers,, the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, the General
Federation of Women's Clubs, the Na
tional Education Association, the
American Economic Association, the
National Conference of Charities and
Corrections and the National Child
Labor Committee be invited to name
seven members to act with a like com
mittee of the National Civic Federa
tion as a committee to make a thor
ough investigation of the whole sub
ject of child labor in the United States.
NOT DAUNTED BY THREATS
(Continued from First Page.)
Peters with anti-Vatican inscriptions, but
they were prevented by the police. An
anti-clerical demonstration Is being or
ganized for next Sunday. The authorities
probably will not allow it to be held in
public, but it may be permitted if held
in a hall with tickets of admission.
The Vatican is convinced that the
French government, with, what church
officials call "Briand's blackmailing cir
cular" and the offense against the rights
of man committed when the government
expelled Monsignore MontagninI and
took possession of the papal archives, has
placed the position maintained by the
church on a sound basis, which insures
her the moral support of all right-minded
people. Referring to this support Car
dinal Merry del Val, the Papal Secretary
of State, said:
"It is essential to victory."
Secret Agent in Paris.
The Vatican has already designated
another prelate to take the place of
Monsignor MontagninI for the purpose
of facilitating communication between
the Holy See and the French episcopacy
and clergy. The name of this man,
however, is kept secret to avoid "perse
cution." Several months ago Monsignor Mon
tagnini asked the Papal Secretary of
State to be allowed to return to Italy
because of the death of hla mother.
The Secretary replied that he would be
glad to grant this permission, but he
wanted Monsignor MontagninI to con
sider "whether it would be opportune to
leave his post at a moment when the
French government might seize the oc
casion not to allow him to re-enter
France. Monsignor MontagninI there
fore remained at Ills post. This inci
dent is worthy of recording, as it
proves that Cardinal Merry del Val
foresaw the possibility of the expulsion
of the individual who represented the
papal authority in France, as Indirectly
did Monsignor MontagninI.
MontagninI Arrives in Italy.
TURIN, Italy, Dec. 12. Minsignor
MontagninI, secretary of the papal
nunciature at Paris, who was expelled
from France yesterday, arrived here
this morning and continued toward
Rome, after refusing to see anybody.
ORDERED CLERGY TO DISOBEY
Cause " of Montagninl's Expulsion.
. Move to Submit to Law.
PARIS, Dec. 12. The day of grace
granted to tha churches of Paris in
the plan of the law providing for the
separation of church and state post
pones until tomorrow the measures for
its enforcement. The delay, however,
has only served to Increase tho excite
ment caused by the expulsion frojn
Franco yesterday of Monsignor Mon
tagninI, secretary of the papal nuncia
ture at Paris.
The formal charge on which Monsignor
MontagninI was expelled was that he
carried out an order contained In a tele
gram from Papal Secretary of State
Merry del Val, received December 8, to in
struct the French clergy to refuse v to
make "applications under the law of 1881
or to obey the law of 1905. The govern
ment obtained a copy of the message at
the telegraph office.
It turns out that the papers seized
at the papal nunciature yesterday
placed In the government's hands im
portant evidence, which may prove ex
ceedingly embarrassing, to the Vatican
if open war Is to take place. They
include besides all the diplomatic rec
ords covering the correspondence ex
changed before the rupture with the
Vatican, recent instructions from Car
dinal Merry del Val, the papal secre
tary of state, a mass of letters from
prelates ovef the world and letters in
the handwriting of Deputies of the
Right party. M. Jaures, the Socialist
leader, asserts in his paper that the
seized documents even prove the ex
istence of a conspiracy.
Prosecutions have been begun against
the ultramontane abbes of the
Churches of St. Pierre du Gros Caillou,
St. Augustine and St. Roch, where the
greatest resistance to the taking of
tho inventories occurred, and it has
been decided to Immediately take over
the buildings belonging. to the ecclesi
astics, stop the pensions of the clergy,
compel aspirants to the priesthood to
fill their military obligations and, if
necessary, treat the clergy as subjects
of a foreign power. This constitutes
a sufficient demonstration of tho spirit
with which the government Intends to
meet resistance. The reception of
Premier Clemenceau's speech in the
Chcmber of Deputies last night also
shows that he has Parliament at his
back. Nevertheless, M. Clemenceau was
careful to say that there was still time
for Catholics to conform to the law.
That the rank and file of the liberal
Catholics disapprove of the intrans
igent attitude of the authorities at
Rome is evidenced by the fact that the
editor of the Renaissance, Felix Robin,
has of his own initiative filed with
Prefect of Police Lepine an application
under -the public meetings law of 1S81
for permission to hold religious meet
ings in all the churches.
It was first announced that the govern
ment had instructed the prefect to ac
tept the application, but it developed later
that he only formally acknowledged its
receipt and decided that a general ap
plication covering all the churches was
irregular. He also announced that, un
less applications were filed by two author
ized persons in behalf of each church,
measures for reporting violations of the
law would commence at the time for
early mass tomorrow.
Cardinal Richard has formally denied
that he in any manner sanctioned the
application of Martinet and Robin.
Martinet, who formerly was an anar
chist, explains that he and Robin, who
Is a street hawker, took the step of mak
ing the application in the interest of pub
lic peatce, adding:
"Unless something is done, the govern
ment will become ridiculous and the
church will commit suicide."
Late this afternoon two members of
the Church of St. Jean l'Evangelic filed
an application, which was accepted as
a legalization of services there during the
coming year.
Cardinal Richard has accepted thw
temporary hospitality of M. Deniys
Cochin, a Conservative member of the
Chamber of Deputies from' one of the
Paris districts.
-The Catholic seminaries at Bordeaux,
Mende and Saint Brieux were evacu
ated today.
A detachment of -police this afternoon
surrounded the buildings occupied by the
Chamber of Deputies and the Senate in
order to prevent possible anti-government
demonstrations on the part of the
Clericals.
CALLS EXPULSION ODIOUS ACT
Vatican Indignant Over MontagninI.
Father Worm to Rescue.
ROME, Dec. 12. The Vatican au
thorities characterize the action of the
French Government in having Mon
signor MontagninI, the expelled secre
tary of the papal nunciature at Paris
accompanied to the frontier by police
as "an odious act," showing a desire to
humiliate those who because of their
weakness cannot retaliate. It is much
regretted in Vatican circles that, con
trary to th6 propositions of some of
the cardinals Monsignor dclla Chiesa,
the assistant papal secretary of state,
was not sent to Paris after the rupture
of diplomatic relations between the
Vatican and France, as In view of his
Francophile attitude under the late
Pope Leo he was the only person cap
able of reaching an understanding
with the French jOvernment. It is be
lieved even now that notwithstanding
the gravity of the situation France
would not find it difficult to conciliate
tho Vatican if ncgotiatons on the sub
ject were opened.
In the meanwhile the Vatican forces
have been mobilized to take part in the
campaign. Even Father Wornz, the Gen
eral of the Jesuits, has joined the bel
ligerents. The latest instructions sent to
the French clergy are In substance that
they are to look upon the situation with
the worst possible aspect and organize
private religious services.
Thousands of telegrams, it is announced
here, have been sent from Free Masons,
anti-Clericals, Republican and Liberal
clubs and politicians, to the French
Premier, M. Clemenceau, and Minister
of Public Worship Briand, congratulat
ing them on their energetic attitude to
ward the Vatican and Clericalism. On
the other hand, the Vatican authorities
have received thousands of telegrams of
sympathy and encouragement from bish
ops. Catholic clubs and promfhent Catho
lics, Italians and foreigners, condemning
the action of the French government.
The Pope, when he heard that Cardinal
Richard, archbishop of Paris, had been
compelled to leave the ecclesiastical resi
dence, telegraphed immediately placing
the palace of the nunciature in Paris,
which is owned by the Vatican, at his
disposal and at the same time expressing
his cordial sympathy with the venerable
prelate.
American Catholics Denounce.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12. At a special
meeting here today of the board of
governors of the Catholic Church Ex
tension Society of the United States,
resolutions were adopted denouncing
the recent actions of the French gov
ernment as "atrocities" and branding
an "nutraereniiH thefts" the seW.nrA nf
ecclesiastical property, and appealing
to mankind for redress. Copies of the
resolutions, which were signed by
Archbishop Quigicy and the other gov
ernors of the society, were telegraphed
