S0.-Paa- slonate oratory marked the proceedings today in the trial of Mrs. Annie M. Brad ley charged With the shooting and killing of former Senator Brown of Utah, in this city last Deoember. The oourt room was nable to accommodate the great number of people ,who came to witness the last scenes of the tragedy that has attracted national attention for nearly a year. Many of the attendants were ladlsa and some of them arrived at the olty hall long before the doors of the court room were opened In order to secure desirable positions from which to witness the events of the day. Mrs. Bradley cam Into Oourt as If fully alive to the Importance of the prooeed- ngs. She took her accustomed place where she could be plainly seen by the jurymen and very near her counsel. ' The day was devoted to hearing argu ments by attorneys on both sides of the case. Assistant District Attorney Turner opened for the government and he wss followed by Mr, Wells of oounsel for the defense. Mr. Turner urged the Jury to consider the case on the same basis as if It were a man Involved and as if It were an ordinary mind Involved instead of the brilliant mind f Mrs. Bradley. Sympathy, passion or prejudice should not be considered. Mr. Turner, shortly after he began Ills argu ment, broke down with Amotion and the court proceeding was temporarily sus pended. Mr. Turner soon regained his composure and resumed Ms arguments. A Danger ta Society. Mr. Turner characterised as dangerous the woman who considered a man not her husband more sacred to ber than does the wife herself. He said that even a horse doctor could ' have discerned that Mrs. Bradley when she shot Brown was not suffering from toxlo insanity. Mr. Turner concluded with the state ment that Mrs. Bradley's act was that of Sane person deliberately planned. Robert Wells then opened for the de- tense. Mr. Wells told the Jury that the defense had not submitted its case on the unwritten law, but on the law of the land. which safeguarded defenseless women. Mr.' Welle' argument was so impressive that Mrs. Bradley nearly fainted. Judge Powers, one of her counsel, sought to divert her mind by talking to her, but She brushed him away and listened closely to what Mr. Wells was saying. Mr. Wells concluded at 12:47 and court adjourned until Monday morning at 10 o'clock. 1 J Pottard. Co rccr 16lh Street.

P. Ripley, president of the Santa ' t road, has taken to task Judge Well sorn of the United States court' at Los Angeles for having fined the railroad $330, OOQ for payment of rebates. After giving- a long 'explanation of the case to show that it was a mistake of a clerk and one of which the officers of the company were unaware, and saying that he believed the court to have erred from a misunderstanding of the conditions and not from a desire to be sensational, Mr. Ripley says: "I refrain from comment, except to put before fair-minded business men these qiiostlons: What Incentive had the clerk to violate the strict orders from his superiors to conform to the law? If there was no Incentive, Is It not more than a fair pro sumption that he did not Intend to violate the law? If without Incentive and without Intent, he did under a strict technical con structton violate the law to the extent of paying $400, should his employing company, the officers of which knew nothing of the transaction, be mulcted for $330,000?

There has never been greater need for world-wlds bimetallism than during the last five years, and it civilisation to to continue tts rapid stride, both gold and silver are an absolute necessity as basic money. This Is the time for the congress of the United States to Inaugurate a universal movement for bimetallism. 'Congress should take action looking toward the guaranteeing of the funds of depositors, so as to bring money out of hiding. "The government should either go Into the banking business , outright or have nothing whatever to dp with It. ' If the national banks were all out and out gov ernment banks there would be no trouble about the people keeping their funds In such banks.

The cropa of U07 ar valued at $7,0,00,000.000 and th mineral output of 12,000,000.000 more, an increase) of J 00 per cent In ten years, sars the Oan eral Merchants' Review. For three yeara past the Immigra tion from foreign lands hag been over 1.000,000 a year, while the Increase of the native population has been very great The wealth of the United States Is now $110, 000,000,000, which is more than the combined wealth of France and England. Those who take a gloomy view of the outlook for business In the United Etates, says James W. Van Cleve, president ot the National Association of Manufacturers, should ponder these facta: While the United States hat only 6 per cent of the world's population. It produces 20 per cent of Its wheat, 25 per cent ot its gold, S3 per cent of its coal, 35 per cent of its manufacturers, 21 per cent of tts silver, 40 per cent of its Iron, 4 2 per cent of its steel, IS per cent of Its petroleum. 65 per cent of Its copper, 70 per cent of its cotton and SO per cent ot ttt corn. And yet the producing possibili ties of the country are beyond cal culation. In agriculture millions of acres of fertile lands remain un touched, while the rapid and steady growth of the oil, coal and mining Industries demonstrates the Inexhaustible wealth that lies beneath the soil.
