Former U.S Senator Wounded by
Alleged Mother of His Children.
BEGGED HIM TO MARRY HER
Washington, Dec. 11.—The life of
former United States Senator Arthur
Brown, of Utah, who was shot by Mrs.
Anna M. Bradley in his hotel apart:
ments here Saturday afternoon, Is
hanging by a mere thread. Little hope
for his recovery is held out by attend-
ants at the emergency hospital, but
his physician, Dr. W. P. Carr, still has
gome hope that his patient may sur
vive. Senator Brown's temperature
reached 104 and, according to his
friends, he is steadily growing weaker.
Mrs. Bradley spent another restless
day in her cell at the house of deten-
tion, and her only thought seems to be
for the man whom she shot down.
According to the police. a number of
prominent western politicians have no-
tified her they are willing to furnish
money for her defense. Several local
restaurants telephoned the matron at
the house of detention that they would
gladly serve Mrs. Bradley's meals free
of charge. A representative of the Sal:
vation Army also offered assistance.
Mrs. Bradley is held without bail on
the charge of assault with intent to
kill. She will not be given a prelim:
{nary hearing until the extent of Mr.
Brown's injuries are known.
Mrs. Bradley declares she is the
mother of Brown's two children.
The shooting occurred in Senator
Brown's apartment in the Raleigh ho
tel, where Mrs, Bradley also had regis:
tered under the name of “A. R.
Brown.” Two shots were fired, one
grazing his left hand and the other
entering the abdomen and lodging in
the pelvic cavity.
The tragedy was the result of the
old, old story of “a woman scorned.”
Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley have
achieved much unpleasant notoriety in
Salt Lake City by their alleged inti
macy. It resulted in the woman's hus
band divorcing her and in a charge of
immorality being filed against Brown
and Mrs. Bradley by the senator's late
wife. Mrs. Bradley pleaded guilty, but
the charge was afterward withdrawn
and the case dismissed.
Three years ago the senator's wife
died, and since that time, it is said,
Mrs. Bradley has persistently pursued
him from place to place, beseeching
him to marry her and to acknowledge
her two children.
STUDENTS PERISH IN FLAMES
Sleeping Men Trapped By Fire Which
Destroyed Fraternity Building.
Ithaca, N. Y., Dec. 8.—The burning
of the Chi Psi fraternity house on the
campus of Cornell University was at
tended with a loss of life that has
thrown not only the university, but the
whole city, into mourning. The dead
number scven. Of these, four were
students and ‘he others prominent
townsmen who had responded to the
alarm in the capacity of volunteer
firemen.
Among the students who escaped
death in the flames seven were in
jured, and of these C. J. Pope, of East
Orange. N. J. it is feared will not
long survive. He was removed to the
city hospital after having been badly
burned, and his condition has not per
ceptibly improved. The dead are:
Attorney Alfred S. Robinson.
John C. Rumsey, hardware merchant,
E. J. Landon, salesman.
F. W. Grelle, East Orange, N. J., "10,
0. L. Schmuck, Hanover, Pa., '07.
W. H. Nichols, Chicago, '07.
James McCutcheon, Jr. Pittsburg,
Pa., '09.
The hails throughout the house were
immediately filled with dense smoke.
In the rooms on the upper floors were
27 students, all of whom were taken
unawares. It was not possible for the
students to get out by way of the
halls, and all went to the windows. As
the fire approached the rear of the
building the students were forced to
jump, and several were seriously in-
jured in this way. The wind at the
-time was blowing 30 miles an hour
and created a draft through the build:
ing that soon made the interior a mass
of flames.
The cause of the fire will probably
never be discovered. The building is
an unsightly wreck, with no particle
of ite inner furniture remaining.
SEWED TOWEL UP INSIDE WOMAN
Surgeons Remove Cloth Forgotten at
First Operation.
Lincoln, Neb. Dec. 8.—Miss Lulu
‘Summers, sister of United States Dis-
trict Attorney Summers, was relieved
of a towel which she had carried sewed
up in her abdomen for five weeks,
where it was forgotten by surgeons
who performed an operation for appen-
dicitis.
A second operation was necessary to
remove the towel.
Five weeks ago Miss Summers was
operated upon, and although the
wound healed she failed to recover.
She insisted that there was something
within the cavity. Finally the surgeons
decided upon a second operation, and
a towel which had been used in the
first operation was found.
Shot Herself While Child Was Dying.
Scranton, Pa., Dec. 10,—When in-
formed by the attending physician that
her child was dying of diphtreria, Mrs.
Max Backer, of Hawley, near here,
went into the cellar and shot herself
twice in the head. The boy died two
hours after the shooting and she four
hours later. Her husband, a prominent
manufacturer, was on his way to Chi-
cago at the time.
FATALLY SHOT IN FATHER
Daughter Fired Two Bullets Into Par
ent's Head Defending Mother,
Philadelphia, Dec. 11. — Miss Mary
McAtee shot and probably fatally
wounded ner father, the Rev. John
Quincy McAtee, at their home here.
The shooting, according to police offi-
cials, followed a quarrel between Rev.
MecAtee and his wife, in which the
minister, it is asserted, was trying to
throw Mrs. McAtee down the cellar
stairs. The daughter, who was in the
upper portion of the house, rushed
down stairs with a small revolver in
her hand, and fired three shots at her
father, two of which took effect in the
head One of the bullets penetrated
the brain. Mrs. McAtee and the
daughter told the police that the has-
band and father had been drinking
lately and had been quarrelsome and
caused them much trouble, A short
time ago, the daughter said, he had
choked her and tried to throw her over
a stair rail while in one of his quarrel-
some moods. The mother, daughter
and a colored servant who was in the
house were arrested.
The McAtee family is widely
known. Rev. McAtee was a member
of the Lutheran Synod. He was for-
merly pastor of the Lutheran Church
of the Holy Communion in this city,
but is now on the retired list. He was
for five years in Nova Scotia, and re-
turned a short time ago from Palestine
and the Holy Land, where he went in
the interst of the church. The daugh-
ter who did the shooting is 23 years
cf age.
READING MEN STAND PAT
Company's Refusal to Recognize Un-
ions May Cause Strike.
Reading, Pa., Dec. 11.—A strike of
its trainmen may follow the refusal of
the Philadelphia & Reading railway
to recognize the unions to which nearly
5000 of its employes belong. Whether
there will be a strike or not is still
problematic, though the determined
stand taken by the men is significant.
International officers of labor unions
whose members are employed on the
Reading railroad system arrived here
to demand recognition of their organi.
zations. They met committees of the
local unions and all hands went into
conference on this question with Gen-
eral Superintendent Dice. Serious
trouble is threatened unless the unions
are recognized. It was stated on good
authority that the company would not
do that; that the men had recently
been given 10 per cent. advance, but
that the organizations would not be
accorded recognition. Hope is ex:
pressed that an amicable adjustment
of the differences will be effected.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive En
gineers, the Order of Railway Train
men, the Order of Locomotive Fire
men and the Order of Railway Con:
ductors all have similar grievances.
They declare that some of their mem:
bers have been discharged simply be-
cause they belong’ to these organiza
tions, and they ask for a change in
the company's attitude. It is alleged
that whenever a member serves on a
committee to present grievances he is
subject to dismissal. This, it is de
clared, has been the policy of the com:
pany for a long period.
SUICIDE TO AVOID ARREST
Woman About to Be Arrested For
Forgery Shoots Herself.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 8. — Ethel G.
Ferver, 25 years old, cashier for a
dermatologist, shot herself and died
at the apartments of her mother in
this city to escape being taken by a
detective on a charge of forgery. Miss
Ferver came here from Ohio’ some
time ago and was known as one of the
handsomest gowned women in the
city. Dr. Span, by whom she was em-
ployed, boarded with her mother, and
when he accused her of forging his
name to a check for $1000 she went
into an adjoining room after Span had
telephoned for a detective and shot
herself. The girl died as the detec
tive appeared at the apartment.
GILLETTE SENTENCED TO DIE
Slayer of Grace Brown to be Electro
cuted During Week of January 28.
Herkimer, N. Y., Dec. 11.—Chester
E. Gillette was sentenced to die in the
electric chair at Auburn prison during
the week beginning January 28. He
was taken to Auburn.
The youth, convicted of the murder
of his discarded sweetheart, Grace
Brown, showed no sign of emotion
when Justice Devendor{ pronounced

Alfred Dupont Granted a Divorce.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 10.—Alfred
IL Dupont, milionaire powder manu-
facturer, who formerly lived at Wil
mington, Del, but a resident of Sioux
Falls since last spring, was granted a
divorce from Bessie D. Dupont. The
divorce was granted on grounds of ex:
treme cruelty and inhuman treatment.
The custody of four children and the
question of alimony were adjusted out
of court. Mr. Dupont is a cousin of
Senator Dupont, the new United States
senator from Delaware.

Providence, R. L, Dec. 10.— Rev. Jo-

Episcopal church in Warren, in the
course of a sermon condemned the de-
