TRYING TO SMOKE
OUT ROOSEVELT
Combined Attack by
Reactionaries.
LIKELY TO DEFEAT ITS OBJECT
Enemies May Force Roosevelt
to Run Again.
TRY TO THWART PEOPLE
President Says Friends Cannot
Force Nomination on Him, but
Leaves Inference Open So
That Enemies May Do So.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. (Special.)
Events are working fast and furiously
to make more clearly defined the linos
upon which next year's battle for the
nomination of the Republican Presiden
tial ticket will be fought. In the moment
of reviving confidence following the
quasl-hnanclal panic, which had its in
ception in the Wall-street citidel, the re
actionary opportunists have opened their
floodgates of oratory. The Judicial, the
clerical, the corporation-counseling and
the political spokesmen for the whole
reactionary element are forcing the fight
igalnst President Roosevelt and a can
lldate of his type, hoping to arouse a
icntlment in favor of a candidate of re
ictlonary choice and allegiance.
May Force Him to Run.
A portion, at least, of Washington re
tards the assault on Mr. Roosevelt Inad-'
'ertently or otherwise started by Justice
Brewer and pushed along later by ex-Sen-Itor
Spooner and Dr. Parkhurst by the
itatesman and lawyer at the New York
?haraber of Commerce dinner last night
ind by the evangelist in a volunteered
interview here In Washington as calcu
lated to defeat its most apparent object.
A long time ago, Mr. Roosevelt de
?lared seml-confldentalally to those on
Intimate terms at the White House, that
Ms friends could not force him to be a
candidate for renominatlon against his
previously announced determination. He
never then, nor at any time since, has in
the same open manner, declared that his
enemies could not force him. Between
what he has said positively and what lie
has zealously refrained from saying,
there lies the broad Intimation that or
ganized reactionary attack. If carried to
Its logical consummation, might make
him go to any extremity to frustrate Its
design.
Aim to Thwart Popular Will.
Right now there Is a spasm of effort in
the anti-Roosevelt camp to concentrate
'.he enemies of progress upon a reaction
ary candidate for the Presidency and to
'.ay the wires for manipulation of state
lelesatlona to thwart the popular will.
The purpose is eloquently placed In the
attacks upon the President and his poli
ces by some men of prominence in public
speeches. The movement Is working in
insidious fashion among United States
Senators of a certain class, who never
have liked the Roosevelt policies but who
In public debate and Interviews for popu
lar consumption have lauded the Presi
dent to the skies. The reactionary move
ment is not entirely oratorical either. It
Is seen in states like Illinois, where a
mighty effort is being made to prevent
the expression of the popular will at direct
primaries.
Trying to Smoke Him Out.
Altogether the agencies that regard Mr.
Roosevelt as their bete nolr are doing
the very things that may force him to
personal combat. He has disarmed the
critics who have been alleging that he is
Intriguing for the nomination by putting
a stop to officeholdlng indorsement or
support, and those critics have turned to
other means to "smoke him out."

ty, today introduced In the lower house

CHICAGO, Nov. 22. Talcott Will

11th annual banquet of the Society of
Mayflower descendants, last night,
urged that the energies of the descend
ants of the Pilgrims, under the leader
ship of President Roosevelt, be directed
to the reform of Industrial economics.
"The pilgrims brought forth a sys
tem of political democracy." he said,
"but we have not yet attained com
plete democratic domestic economy.
We find In business only the despotic
rule of him who controls. We have
the century-old evils of special privi
lege to fight in new forms."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. (Special.)
J. Plerpont Morgan, accompanied by

National Bank of New York, reached

retary Cortelyou the discussion of the
financial situation. ...
After dinner with Assistant Secretary
of State Bacon, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Baker
and Mr. Bacon called on Mr. Cortelyou
and on learning that the President would

to the White House, arriving a few min
utes after 10 and remaining until 11:30.
Mr. Morgan submitted to a Are of ques
tions from newspaper correspondents as
he emerged to enter a carriage.
Why He Comes to Washington.
"I came to Washington to take up,
with Secretary Cortelyou, our discission
of tho financial situation, whloh was
brought to an end last week, when the
Secretary left New York," said Mr. Mor
gan in reply to a question as to what ex
planation could be given of his presence
in Washington.
,"Did you discuss the financial situation

asked.
"Yes," he answered.
"Did you tako up w!h him the que;

"What have I to do with legislation V
responded Mr. Morgan, good-naturedly.
"How is the financial situation is It Im

UOBBLIXG UP CERTIFICATES
Bankers Anxious to Be Able to I n
ccease Their Circulation.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. The Sec
retary of the Treasury stated this
evening that subscriptions to the 3
per cent certificates are being received
In, large numbers and that the issue
is already a successful one. In addi
tion to subscriptions from Individuals,
many of the National bank deposi
tories In the crop-moving sections of
the South and West are availing them
selves of the opportunity to purchase
the certificates, receive a large por
tion of the proceeds as a deposit on ap
proved securities and Increase their
circulation to the amount of the reg
istered certificates. In the discretion of
the Secretary of the Treasury. . The
beneficial results of this increase in
circulation would be promptly felt at
points where it will be most helpful,
and the Government will be enabled to
make its collections and expenditures
in such manner as not to be a disturb
ing factor In business operations.
National banks entitled to do so will
be allowed to increase their circulation
by depositing currency for Treasury
certificates, which, however, would be
retained in tho Treasury as security
for the Increased circulation. Simul
taneously, the Secretary would re
deposit with the purchasing bank on
state, municipal and railroad securities,
75 per cent of the amount of the cur
rency put up for certificates.
As an illustration, it is said, that a
bank wishing to increase its circulation
by 1100,000 would deposit that amount of
currency when it would be alloted $100,
000 In Treasury certificates. These would
be retained in the Treasury as security
for the $100,000 additional circulation. Of
the $100,000 In currency paid In for the
certificates the Secretary would Im
mediately re-deposlt with the bank "5 per
cent or $75,000. By the transaction the
bank would pay in $100,000 and -receive
$100,000 additional circulation and a pub
11c deposit of $75,000.
The Secretary also stated that a bank
not entitled to additional circulation
could put up currency for certificates and
receive in return as a public deposit 75
per cent of the currency so deposited on
approved state, municipal or railroad se
curities. As to the purchase of treasury
certificates by individuals, the Secretary
authorized the statement that the de
partment would endeavor to restrict allo
ments to persons who had drawn the
money from the banks for the purpose
of making the purchases. Persons who
were hoarding money would be en-W
couraged to invest In the certificates.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22. (Spe
cial.) The report from New York
that E. H. Harrlman planned to
abandon the Pacific Mail line gave
rise to the rumor that the Japanese
company, the Toyo Klsen Kalsha,
Intended to purchase the ships.
Manager Avery, of the Toyo Klsen
Kalsha line, denied tonight that his
company Intended to buy the Pacific
Mall vessels. Mr. Avery said he had
talked with Mr. Schwerin recently in
New York and that Mr.' Schwerin
had said nothing in regard to with
drawing the Mall liners.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. In a speech
tinged with bitterness, General Manag
er R. P. Schwerin, of the Pacific Mall
Steamship Lino, tonight as-sailed the
Government's attitude toward shipping
on the Pacific, and declared that the
present policy bade fair to drive the
American flag from the Pacific as well
as the Atlantic. His line, he said, was
losing money as a result of the opera
tions of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and he intimated that tho
company would not ask for a renewal
of Its 50-year charter, which expires
on April 15 next, but would instead re
tire from the steamship transportation
business. Foreign rivals who could
change their rates at will had piled up
$5,000,000 in assets, he said, while the
American line, compelled to give 30
days' notice of a new passenger rate,
wasdropping between $3,000,000 and
$4.000,00 In hopeless competition.
Mr. Sch-werin was a guest at the din
ner at the Waldorf of the Society of
Naval Architects and Marine Engineers.
He said that he had requested that his
name be omitted from the list of
speakers, but, as this had not been
done, he felt It Incumbent upon him
to tell the truth about what he termed
"the most deplorable state of affairs in
American shipping."
What United States Is Doing.
Mr. Schwerin's subject was "What
the United States Is Doing for Its Mer
chant Marine on the Pacific Coast." He
referred to tho liberal subsidies which
are granted on the Pacific to British,
German and Japanese vessels, and stat
ed that two magnificent vessels were to
be added to one Japanese Una, which
has already increased its fleet by three
additional ships in comparatively re
cent times. He continued;
But a subsidy alone will not make
a line a success. Let the United
States Government pass a bill like
the Chinese prohibitive immigration
enactment or the discouraging measure
now in force with regara to the Japanese.
Let these companies surfer the loss of their
emigrant traffic and you would see their
vessels tied up for lack of support.
What ha the Vnited States Government
done for us? Within a short period we were
fined some $421,000 for Infractions of the
many regulations with which we have re
cently been hedged about. Of this amount

pion of Kngiand, YVho Defeated

v.e paid aome $200,000. having managed to
secure a reduction of the original amount.
Now we have had our entire carrying
trade, our traffic, taken away from us
through tho operations of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. How? Why. we are
now obliged to give 30 days' notice of any
change in rates. Other lines, not of regis
try here, can change their rates at any time
without notice. Thus, when they lower their
rates, we are obliged, under heavy penalty,
to give notice of our intention to change our
rate for 80 days. Just three days before the
month expires our cut is met by a lower
one.
ihen our books are always subject To In
spection. We hfeve about two expert account
ants and half a rtozen sleuths going over
them all the time to find evidence of rebates.
The foreign lines, with their books far away
from here, are not subject to the same regu
lations, do as they please with regard to
these things, and the result Is that we have
suffered a loss of from $;i,0o0.000 to $4,000.
00O, while our rivals have added some
$5,000,000 to their transportation. That Is
the plain, hard fact. That Is the way the
United States treats its shipping.
May Not Renew Charter.
I can tell you now that our charter
lapses on April next and it is a very seri
ous question whether that charter will be
reviTed. We aregoing backward. There Is
nothing for us to maintain in present con
ditions. About IP vessels will in 'all prob
ability soon be tied up In San Francisco
hartior. as are those already of the Aus
tralian service, because of the fact that
they cannot be made to earn money as we
are now being treated.
It's all tommy-rot to talk about senti
mentality over the American merchantsma
rlnei we can't view the merchant marine
from a sentimental standpoint. The man
who can do us good Js not the man who Is
going to deliver us with the big stick and
an atmosphere of moonshine and splendor.
Will Not Run Ivosing Business.
Pardon me if 1 speak forcefully. It !
hard after 15 years of hard, effective work,
to be on the verge of losing one's Job and
that for something over which he has no
supervision. The idea that Mr. Hill or Mr
Harrlman or Mr.' Huntington should build
ships aud maintain them. If the project will
not pay them. Is all nonsense. If a man
cannot make money investing it In steam
ships he certainty will not put out his
money that way. Because Mr. Hill and Mr.
Huntington and Mr. Harrlman invested sev
eral millions of dollars apiece In ships, they
were looked upon as though they had com
mitted a vcrlme. and when the bill was
framed to provide help in the shape of sys
tematic payments for carrying the malls. It
was provided that no vessel now afloat
should receive such assistance. Why not?
That's what we have a right to know.

GEORGETOWN. K., Nov. 22. At 2:
o'clock this afternoor. the jurybox in the
trial of Caleb Powers was filled, four
of the possible jurors being: from Harri

A decided sensation ensued when It
was learned that Arthur Goebel, brother
of the murdered Governor, accompanied
the Sheriff to Grant County. As Powers
was allowed to send his brother-in-law,
H. W. Green, and several friends with the
Sheriff and his deputies, Arthur Goebel
decided to go along also and watch the
summoning procees. He also took with
him five friends, while Powers' brother-in-law
and four of his friends accom
panied the Sheriff.
Never before In the history' of Ken

TOLD MRS. BRADLEY GOLD FACT
Warned Her Brown Deceived
Her as to Marriage.
CREATURE OF EMOTION
Henderson Graphically Describes In
terviews With Unhappy Woman.
Relatives Tell of Insanity In
family Experts Come Next.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The Criminal
Court, In which Mrs. Annie Bradley is
being tried on the charge of murdering
ex-United States Senator Brown, of Utah,
will hold no session tomorrow and as a
consequence there will be no further
proceedings in the trial until Monday.
When the court adjourned today, the de
fense had practically completed its pre.,
sentatlon of proof, very little remaining
except the testimony of experts, whowlll
be Introduced for the purpose of showing
that, when Mrs. Bradley shot Brown,
she was Insane.
Today's proceedings were devoted
largely to what may be deslgnatedi as
odds and ends in the shape of testi
mony. Mrs. Bradley's mother was re
called for the purpose of clearing up a
point; several more of the Salt Lake
City witnesses were examined as to the
conduct and bearing of Mrs. Bradley in
that city: Mrs. Bradley's uncle, Lyman
Shrewsbury, of California, told of In
stances of insanity and eccentricity In
Mrs. Bradley'B family. Judge Hender
son, Brown's law partner, narrated in
terviews with Mrs. Bradley relative to
her intimacy with Brown and a number
of Brown's letters to Mrs. Bradley were
read.
Listens Eagerly to Letters.
The reading of the letters furnished
the most Interesting Incident of the day.
They were filled with mingled protesta
tions of love and reproaches for interest
in other men and they stirred Mrs.
Bradley to tdeep emotion. She listened
eagerly to the reading and. closing her
eyes, seemed entirely lost in the memory
they awakened.
The defendant was not In buoyant mood
during the day. Her manner was de
jected, her speech Infrequent and her
face pale. Evidently there had been a
reaction after the conclusion yesterday
of her testimony. She looked as if she
had had a sleepless night She was not
so depressed, however, thai she could not
laugh over the testimony of her uncle
indicating that her aunt had been
Jealous of him.
Told Her Brown Was Deceiver.
Albert R. Barnes. Assistant Attorney
General of I'tah. told of a visit of Mrs.
Bradley to his office, at which she told
him of Brown's repeated rromlses ft) get
a divorce and marry her. She said Bruwu
was putting it off and asked aim to talk
to Brown. He refused, though he told her
Brown ought to marry her and agreed to
go to Brown's office if Brown sent for
him. Shortly afterwards Brown sent for
him, and on his return to his own office he
told Mrs. Bradley that Brown would never
marry her, but was deceiving her. He
advised her to make the best of it and
leave Salt Lake for California. She ap
peared very depressed and very much
agitated.
After Mrs. Bradley went to Ogden. Mr.
Barnes said, she told him by teiep'.ion
that the child had been born, but ..ad died
three day" afterwards. Of her condition
at that time he said:
"It was most pitiable. I regarded hei
as a broken woman. I would not say she
was insane exactly, except on the subject
of Arthur Brown. I considered her In
sanely affectionate. She seemed to be ab
solutely under his influence."
He said her reputation for peace and
good order was above reproach, and,
asked whether she was rational, said:
"Yes and no." Even when told the truth
about Brown's intentions, she never
seemed to lose the convlotlon that h
would marry her. On all other points sh
was sane, but not where Brown was con
cerned. Brown's Partner Testifies.
Bx-Judge J. H. Henderson, who wai
Brown's partner since 1890. told of an in
terview with Mrs. Bradley soon after hei
second arrest for Intimacy with Brown.
She came to the office about dusk and h
told her she had no right to go there, but
should go to Brown's room if she wanted
to see him, and she assented. He wat
shown a paper In which Brown was made
to say he (Brown) would compel Mrs.
Brown to get a divorce, and said Mrs.
Bradley in vain tried to get Brown to sign
it. Brown afterwards told her he would
sign it. Later Brown said to his wife lc
the presence of Mrs. Bradley and the
witness that she (Mrs. Brown) had been a
curse to him, and that he should nevei
repyme relations with her.
In another interview in 1903 he told Mrs
Bradley he had advised Bron to g
away. She then told him she was In a
delicate condition. He told her, if that
were true, he would have no more o da
with the matter, nor with Brown, foi
Brown had been telling him for months
he (Brown) was doing all he could to
