KNOX FINDS THE METHOD Mould Make Liquor Subject to State Law as Soon as It Enters Sate. Culberson Speaks on the Money Stringency. TVAPHTNGTOX. Pee. 18. In the Sen ate today resolutions were Introduced by Tillman, asking the -Interstate Com merce Commission to report whether any corporation engaged In Interstate commerce Is the owner of the stock of any other corporation carrying passen gers and freight, and calling on the In terstate Commerce Commission to de fine the Federal law and the laws of the states In respect to control of the liquor traffic under the Interstate com merce law. These resolutions provoked consid erable debate and were finally re ferred to committee, though one of them was transformed Into a bill. Culberson spoke on his resolution calling on the committee on finance to Investigate and report upon the cause of the present financial stringency and to recommend measures for the pre vention of a recurrence. The resolu tion was referred to the committee on finance. Tillman on Prohibition. Tillman's resolution was as follows: "Tljat the committee on interstate com merce be Instructed to consider and re port by bill or otherwise what legislation Is desirable or necessary to enable the states in the exercise of their police pow ers to control the commerce of liquors and all alcoholic beverages within their borders bo as to aid the cause of tem perance and to prevent the encourage ment by the United States Government of Illicit dealing In the same." Tillman said his purpose was to prevent circumvention of state prohibition laws. Said he: "The courts have held that these laws Interfere with interstate commerce. On this account I ask this investigation." Tillman said the express companies are flooding local option) Southern States with whisky from other states "C. O. r.," and that the Supreme urt of the United States had held that such traffic cannot be interfered with because of its Interstate character. He said his resolu tion soiiRlit to define the. point at which the police power of the state begins and determine how far Congress can go in limiting the control over Interstate traffic in intoxicating beverages. A general discussion concerning the powers of states and of the Federal Government was precipitated. Knox Supplies the Remedy. Knox suggested that the whole difficulty could be reached through a bill. ' "Draw one," suggested Tillman, where upon Knox prepared an amendment to the Wilson law. Tillman then withdrew tits resolution and offered the Knox bill, which ' was referred to the committee on judiciary. The bill provides that all intoxicating liquors transported Into any state or territory or remaining therein shall, upon arrival within the state and berore or after delivery to the consignee, be sub ject to the laws of such state, in 'the same manner as though such liquors had been produced In such state or territory and shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of being Introduced In original package or otherwise. Culberson on Money Crisis. Culberson, in discussing his resolu tions on the financial stringency, re ferred to the messages of the President In which he suggested the necessity of legislation in the near future and said that either the President had changed his mind -or that Congress was loth to carry out, the recommen dations. "I have noticed," said Culberson, "that .statements from Mr. Roosevelt, have not always been received with such a degree of welcome as were those of his Illustrious predecessor, George Washington." Culberson had read an article In a Philadelphia paper declaring that bank ing laws had-been dictated by bank ing interests. "It Is said by some," he said, "that this condition is due to the machina tions of stock gamblers, who would cripple commerce In order" to force the' money which was In the interior back to the East, where It may be used for speculative purposes." The Senate, on motion of Allison, agreed to adjourn until Saturday and after routine business on Saturday to adjourn until January 6. he wanted the afternoon off, as there was J some ' he- wanted to see. I i knew that it would do no good to re- j fuse him; that he would go any way, so I told him to go. That, is the last I saw of him." Mrs. Bradley's Story. Mrs. Bradley tells the following story: "I took occasion to go down town to day after dinner and remained away un til time to get supper. After I had started to get supper my husband1 came In. 'What arte you doing?" he demanded. I replied that I was getting supper." He went and got his gun and coming back to me In the kitchen and said, 'G d- you, you need get no supper for me. I hear that has come around here again.' With that he began to beat me, throwing me to the floor and raining blows on my head and body. My little boy, seeing what was happening, ran to the nearest telephone and called up my fathci s house, saying tlmt he was afraid his daddy would kill me, and to come up right away or to send a policeman. Bradley left me after beating me black and blue and when my son came bafk he ran down to my father's house to tell them MANAGER I'NIVKRSITT OF OBJ iOV V'CKITHIU.

IEAL0US HUSBAND KILLS (Continued From First Page.) tioned at length beftore being allowed to return to their home. The killing seems to have been the re sult of Bradley's jealousy of his wife, directed against almost every man of her acquaintance. His cruel treatment of her because of his belief, that the attentions of others were being accepted ify her, and interference of the relatives and friends of Mrs. Bradley's family, of whom Glttings was one, was well known. Mrs. Bradley Is a daughter of A. J. Smith; foreman of the blacksmith shop of the O. R. & N., and Bradley was employed there under Smith. Mrs. Brad ley, whose name Is Kate, and the little girl Rachel Smith, are Smith's children by his present wife, and Sivener Is his son by his first wife. Smith lives at 1023 Patton avenue. Smith, when keen last night at his home, said he could not account for the tragedy except by Bradley's Insane Jealousy of his wife. "There has been bad tlood In Brad ley's eye for some time so far as I can Judge," he said, "and he evidently In tended to do some one harm. He came to ins today at the shop and said that about it. After a while, it must have been about a quarter to 7, Bradley came In again in an awful hurry. He grabbed me and said: 'Where is my hat?" I re plied that he had gone out with his hat on. 'Where Is my hat, you, tell me or I'll beat you again,' he said. I told him his hat was in the trunk. He went and got It. 'Now,' said he, "I've got on of tha ; good-bye, and with that he rushed out. "He has not come back. I don't be lieve that my husband was especially Jealous of Mr. Gittlnga. I was never very friendly with Mr. Gittings. Ke helped me out of the trouble I got Into at f Forest Grove when I ran away from my husband before, after he had beaten me, and It may have been on account of that that he held a grudge against him." Sivener corroborates Mrs. Bradley's story to the extent that her son tele phoned the house and afterwards ran over there to tell of the beating. Sivener Tells Story. "I mado up my mind that I would not stand it any longer," he said, "and start ed for the Bradley house. Gittings, who lived just over there, you can see his house from here, told me not to go, that he would go. He took little Rachel with him and they went ver there. After they had left I decided to go, too. When I got there my sister told me that she ihad been beaten and I B tar ted (for Schmld's saloon, which Is near the shops, and where I thought I would find Brad ley. Gittings and ihe girl came along. I told Gittings I was going to. lick him. Gittings and the little girl waited outside and I went In. 'Bradley came out and I struck him. He fired at me twice and I ran to the gutter. . I fell down and remained, there for fear of being .shot. I did not see Bradley shoot at Gittings, nor did I .see Gittings shoot at him. but from .no sounds of the firing I should Judge that Bradley fired several .shots before any came from Gittings. When I rose up Bradley had gone and Gittings was on the sidewalk calling for me. He asked me to go for a doctor at once, that he was going. His revolver was In his hand. - He gave it to me, saying that there was only one shot left and to go and get him If I could." "I saw the shooting," said little Rachel Smith. "It was Just as my brother tells It Bradley fired at my brother as he was running to the street and the shot I think struck Mr. Gittings. who was standing near me. Bradley fired one or two more shots at Gittings before Git tings fired back." Just what cause Bradley had to b Jealous of bis wife does not seem clear. Mrs. Bradley, lt an interview, denied any cause, saye that pf unwarranted and unfounded jealousy. . "Well Known In Albina. Bradley is well known In South Albina, where he resides, and has lived in that portion of Portland for many, years. He is about 38 years old, weighs about 200 pounds, and when ne rled last night was dressed in a sait-and-pepper effect checked suit, with a black felt hat. He is of sandy complexion and was clean shaven except for his mustache, which was of about two weeks growth. He had on no overcoat. In the lavatory of the' saloon to which Bradley went Immediately after the shooting, blood was found, which gave rise to the theory -that he might have been wounded by one of Gittlng's bul lets; but his appearance and subsequent actions at his home serve to disprove this. The blood may have come from tho blow In the mouth which he received from Sivener. From" his relatives It was learned that Bradley's mother lives in Clackamas County. Her rlame Is Mrs. Cook and she Is said to have inherited a small fortune from her third husband. Bradley also has relatives In California. He left the city -with some money, for he drew his pay only a few day ago from the car shops, amounting to $87.37. He paid a few houshold bills and had all the rest left. Mrs. Bradley said he must have These hats have won such great popularity, because of the exceptionally high grade of fur used in their making, and also because they are always made in the most correct styles.

Bradley is said to be a member of the ''Woodmen of the World. - Mrs. Bradley spent last night with h?r neighbors for fear that Bradley might come back and kill her. Police Neglect Case. At midnight, more than five hours after Policeman Gittings had been killed, Police Captain Bruin began to take active interest in the murder of one of his patrolmen. When the news of the murder reached police headquar ters detectives were detailed on- the case, but neither Captain Bruin nor Captain Slover took enough interest In the murder apparently to visit the scene , of the crime. If was cold, out side and word had reached the station that Bradley, after beating Jils wife a second time, had refoaded his revolver and was looking for trouble. Just be fore 12 o'clock Captain Bruin bethought himself of Andy Vaughn's blood hounds and telephoned Detective Vaughn, asking him to bring but his dogs, and in an automobile, with sev eral detectives, the .first real search for the murderer was then begun. Between the time that Officer Git tings met his death and the calling out of Detective Vaughn and his blood hounds, Captain Bruin and Captain Slo ver contented themselves with attend ing strictly to the station duties. A casual vlsitwr at police headquarters would never have discovered that a member of the force had been slain. No one was busy yea, there was one busy person about the station that was Lawyer J. Hat. Hitchlngs. He was there for a whispered conversation with Slover and Bruin. Several times dur ing the night officers, as they called up over the telephone, asked of the police operator whether there was any thing doing, and whether Captain Bruin had anything for them. The la conic answer was, "Tell bird to look out for that fellow." Discription of -Murderer. Perhaps a description of Bradley had been sent out to patrolmen on their beats earlier in the night, hut from the nature of the Inquiries over the telephone and from the mere announce ment now and then that the operator would make to Inquiring policemen it did not Indicate that anything of the sort had been done.. At 1 o'clock this morning the chase with the bloodhounds was abandoned, the actions of the dogs indicating that Bradley took a car on Fremont street after the shooting., going either down town or to Vancouver, Wash. Patrolman Sittings had been a member of the police department for four yars. About six months ago he was before the Police Commissioners on a charge of Im moral conduct on account of his alleged Intimacy with a married woman. Through failure of' those who. brought Policeman Gittings before the Police Commissioners to establish a case against him he was exhonerated. Dur ing the Lewis and Clark Exposition Git tings was a mounted policeman, assigned to duty at the Upshur-streeU station. .When the Exposition was over he was detailed as patrol driver and was driving the patrol wagon at the time the charges were preferred against him- After that he walked a beat and "was assigned to Captain Bailey's relief which reports for duty at 11:15 P.
