Slake Remarks.
GEORGETOWN, Ky., Nov. 27. Investi
gation as to the summoning of the Grant
county venire in which wa based the de
fendant's challenge for dismissing the last
division of the venire occupied the fore
noon session of tho Caleb Powers trial.
The defense offered to withdraw Its mo
tion to set aside the second division and
ovir the objection of the commonwealth,
the court sustained the motion. This
cleared t lie atmosphere somewhat. Judge
Morris expressed surprise at today's reve
UiUons. lie said it was unprecedented in
any court In the land for a sheriff to be
followed by a gang of men purporting to
represent two political parties. He said:
"Had the court been apprised rf this at
the time the party went Into Grant county
I would have ord.-red the arrest of all of
them." The court then ruled that all the
names of both venires be put In a box and
a Jury drawn from the whole.

&DRD1S11 TRIBES IN REVOLT
Autonomy the Cry Among Moslems
and Christians Alike.
GOVERNMENT OF PORTE DESPISED
Twenty-Fire Thousand People In
Asia Minor Pledge Lives to
Secure Freedom from
Turkey.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 27.-The law
less activity of the Kurdish tribes In the
Armeno-Kurdlsh districts of Eraerum, By
tis. Van. Kharput and Kiarbiccker, Is caus
ing lively concern at the porte, particu
larly as the forslgn embassies are Interest
ing themselves and are urging that prompt
measures be taken by the government to
prevent a possible massacre.
Under the protection of the notorious
Ibraham Pasha, who Is known aa the
"despot of Kurdistan." Kurdish horsemen
are making raids rithout discrimination,
Turkish villagers suffering equally with
Armenian homesteads on the plains around
Dlarbeklr and Jezlreh-Iber-Otnan. Six
teen villages have been pillaged and
burned within the last month In these
districts and eight villages In the Sert
district have met with the same fate.
Several of these villages were composed
entirely of Moslems, and In most rases
the Uvea of the Inhabitants were spared,
though they were deprived of all their
possessions.
The pinch of 4junger already Is being
felt, as everywhere there Is a scarcity
of food, fodder and fuel. The missionaries
are doing their best to mitigate the misery,
but outside help is urgently needed, If the
danger of a severe famine Is to be averted.
Thousands Join In Pledge.
The movement In favor of autonomy
Is gaining ground In Asia Minor, as the
popular disaffection against the Constan
tinople government is very strong, but at
the same time there Is a great degree of
loyalty among the Moslems, and this con
stitutes a powerful support to the present
regime.
Mass meeting are being held, at which
the removal of Ibraham Pasha Is being
demanded. At a meeting held at Van, a
denunciation of the "venial and corrupt
government at Constantinople," and tho
suggestion that Asia Minor should de
clare Its Independence thereof aroused
great enthusiasm, and 2Ti.0C0 Moslems and
Christians in the audience are reported to
have pledged their lives to the movement
In favor of autonomy.
The porte has ordered troops from Khnr
put and Aleppo against the refractory
Kurds, and It will endeavor to Induce
Ibraham Pasha, by friendly persuasion, to
come to Aleppo. Some of Ibraham's vil
lages were shelled recently by Tu'klsh
troops and sixty Kurds were killed.

the demands, the do'.tftm for action would
be up to the men. Several traction em
ployes In answer said they could not see
anything to complain about.
The demands of the men In brief are
an increase from 21 cents an hour to 25,
a ten-hour workday, to be completed within
twelve hours, and the right to purchase

Evidence in Bradley Case that She
Used Premeditation.
TWO WOMEN HAD A STRUGGLE
Personal Rncounter Between Mrs.
Brown and Mrs. Bradley Took
riace at Depot at Purs
tello, Idaho.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Damag1ng tes
timony was given today against Mrs. Annie
M. Bradley on trial for killing former
Senator Brown of Utah.
A number of witnesses were called In
rebuttal and, being n.kcd as to her mental
condition, declared that tho question of
her sanity hnd not been suggested to them;
that she appeared rational und talked
coherently. Many of these witnesses saw
her shortly after the shooting and talked
to her, but none of them regarded her as
Insane.
Mrs. Bradley was very calm during the
proceedings today. While looking tired she
appeared to bear the ordeal better than on
the previous dav.
Some sensational testimony wns brought
out, including relation of a scene between
Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Bradley at Pocatello,
Idaho, where Mrs. Brown had taken the
defendant by tho throat and threatened to
kill her, and another wherein the rcnator
had denied that he was the father of his
son, Max Brown, which called forth flerco
denunciation from Mrs. Brown.
Archibald Livingston, former steno
grapher to Senator Brown, continuing his
testimony in rebuttal, declared than on
December 1, one week before the tragedy,
Mrs. Bradley called him on the telephone
and said: "So Mr. Brown got away, did
he?" Mr. Livingstone declared that on his
telling Mrs. Bradley that he did not think
Brown would marry her, Mrs. Bradley
said:
"Well, he'll have to or I'll blow his head
off."
The wltnes declared that Brown, in the
presence of Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Bradley and
Colonel Tatlock said he would protect Mrs.
Bradley as long as ho lived.
Tries to Get Rid of Woman.
Mr. Livingston, on cross-examination,
said that before Scnutor Brown left Salt
Iake City for Washington, on December 1,
he left with him 1200 for Mrs. Bradley's
expenses to California, but imposed the
condition on Mrs. Bradley that she should
not go to Goldticld or Washington. Wit
ness declared he told Mrs. Bradley many
deliberate falsehoods "so he and she could
get along."
P. P. Chrtstensen, an attorney of Salt
Lake City, said he knew Mrs. Bradley In
timately. Ho had witnessed a scene at the
depot In the summer of lflOS between her
and Senator Brown. Mrs. Bradley Insisted
on going away with Brown and "fairly
hung on to him.'" Brown, he auld, repeat
edly repelled her.
Soren Christensen, also of Salt Lake City,
testified that on one occasion, while in
Pocatello, Idaho, with Senator Brown, Mrs.
Brown appeared suddenly and that Brown
chastised her for following him there. On
tho same occasion, he said, Mrs. Brown ap
peared and engaged In a personal struggle
with Mrs. Bradley, clutching her by the
throat and exclaiming, "Let me kill her!"
The witness further stated that at the
Pocatello visit Senator Blown declared, in
the presence of Mrs. Bradley, Mrs. Brown
and himself, that he was not the father of
Max Brown, and that Mrs. Brown up
braided him aa a low, vile creature for
denying his own child.
Court took a recess at 12:30 after aeveral
police officers and a police matron had
testified that Mrs. Bradley admitted to
them that she allot Brown.
Police Matron Thornburgh said that dur
ing the night Mrs. Bradley was at tho sta
tion Mrs. Bradley walked the floor and
wrung her hands, expressed her love for
Brown and the hope that he would re
cover. Woman Appeared Rational.
In the afternoon eve:al employes of the
Raleigh hotel testified that Mrs. Brad
ley, while at the hotel, appeared to be
well and rational.
Three newspaper men testified that n
their talks with Mrs. Bradley on the day
of the tragedy they found her rational.
Hal C. Smith, a reporter, said that whet
he Informed Mrs. Bradley that Senator
Brown, at the hospital, had dictated a
telegram to Mrs. Annie Adams not to come
to Washington, Mrs. Bradley remarked
that she was not surprised.
Miss Lucy Bernshaw, a nurse at the
House of Detention, testified that Mrs.
Bradley when informed that Mrs. Annie
Adams expressed a desire to talk with
her, said she could not see why Mrs.
Adams wanted to see her.
Physicians who treated Mrs. Bradley at
tho House of Detention declared that she
wan rational at all times, though very
nervous. Tiicy detected no sepsis in her
condition.
Court adjourned at 3:10 o'clock until Fri
day morning.

the cnmlnsr contest Is not personal, but
Involves differences of attitude and convic
tion concerning political methods and prac
tices. "Neither Senator Klttreelgc nor my
self," says the governor, "has any In
herent right to the office of United States

that those who are most earnest In urg
ing him to be a candidate are not satis
fled with Senator Klttredge's action In op
ncslna? the proposal that the physical
valuation of railway property be ascer
tained by the government for uso In de

charge'd by them and to which he holds
Senator Klttredge and his lieutenants re
sponsible for the abuse of the power which

nnd which they made subservient to public
corporations, doing business in the state.

If Mr. Klttredge Is again sent to the United

Its old political methods.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27. James B. Forgan,
president eef the First National bank, re
turned yesterday front Washington, wheru
he had a conference With President Roose
velt regarding the financial situation.
"I was a busy man during the three and
a half hours I spent In Washington." eald
Mr. Forgan. "The president asked many
questions concerning the financial situa
tion In Chicago and other western cities
and I gave him my views. I told him mat
ters were Improving every day and I wit)
hopeful that normal currency payments ,
would be resumed before long. He se-cmed
glad to receive this information."

Washington Situation Better.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27. Tha situation
at the treasury was so far relaxed this
afternoon that Se-crelary Cortelyou was
able to leave early to attend the wedding
of Miss Rntt and Lieutenant Grant. There
Is no longer any doubt felt anions;
treasury officials of the success of both
the loans the Panama canal bonds und
tho one-year treasury certificates. If
considerably Hess than Sl.OXi.tXXJ.OiW Is al
iened In the certificates It villi not be be
cause the subscriptions are not more than
sufficient to cover the amount. It will
be because so large an Issue is no longer
felt to be necessary to restore tho situa
tion. Calculations are already btlng mad
as to the probable conditions In tha
money market next spring and the abil
ity to call In part of the certificates. If
the amount issued should be only $00,
000.000 and half or these should be paid
oft In six months, the Interest charges
would fall materlaly below the $3,000,000
originally calculated upon the full tssuu
for one year. The sum of 25,0O0,ij0O
for tlx months would draw Interest to
the amount of )375,OO0 und an additional
amount of $5,0u0.000 for on year would
draw $750,000, making a total of 11,125,
000. This would be at the- rute of less
than IV cents per capita for the people'
of the country, and It Is argued thut this
would be a cheap means of escape from
difficulty even for the humblest citizen,
whose labor might be affected by the con
tinuance of tho crisis.
