Shooting Former Utah Senator. did Washington -- That Mrs. Bradley innot come to Washington with any tention of killing former Senator Arthur Brown of Utah, and that she did not even remember shooting him, she told the jury in her trial on Wednesreached day. The statement was not of court, session afternoon until the the first half of the day being given largely to the identification of letters from Mr. Brown to Mrs. Bradley and from her to him. very few of which were read. The fact that upon the first going to Senator Brown's room at the Raleigh hotel Mrs. Bradley found there a letter from Mrs. Annie Adams, the actress, to the senator, was dwelt upon at some length by Judge Powers, making it evident that it is his intention to attempt to show that the discovery of this letter supplied the immediate motive for the killing of Brown. The stratling features came when Mrs. court reconvened after noon. Bradley told between sobs of coming to Washington, sick and hungry, of finding in Brown's room the letter from Anna Adams (which was put in evidence) breathing love and affection and hinting at an approaching marriage.

Mr. SENATOR GRAIN Hemp Growers Combine to Force Implement Trust to Come to Their Terms. Mexican Growers Will Undoubtedly be Able to Carry Out Their Plans to Uphold Prices for Next Five Years, as They Have a Monopoly. If nothing Occurs the carefully laid plans of the sisal hemp producers of the state of Yucatan, Mexico, the International Harvester company, known as the agricultural implement trust, in future will have to pay for their supplies just whatever price the plantation owners may feel inclined to ask. Thus, it was remarked in the trade here, will be created the uncommon state of affaii-- whereby one concern with a monopoly will be compelled to deal with another smaller, perhaps, but in a position to show a very arrogant spirit. Details of the producers' plans have been received, and show thoroughness in the matter of organization to uphold prices. The sisal hemp growers met at Merida, Yucatan, on Nov. 8, and organized a stock company to be known as the Corporation of Sisal Growers will make Hemp Growers. deliveries direct to them. Penalties are provided for breaking the agreement, which is to last for five years. In the trade there is little doubt will be able to carry that the out their plans, as the state of Yucatan, to all intents and purposes, has a monopoly of the production of sisal hemp. It is understood that it will take about $12,000,000 to finance the new sisal hemp trust, and that this money has been provided for. New York. JAPAN SIMPLY FOLLOWS SUIT.
