FINANCIAL PANIC PRESIDENT ROD! 150 MILLIONS BONDS Ai cusiness Conditions Fundame Companies Solvent, Curren in Directing Bond cn.i Causeless Hoarding Washington, D. C ? Presideut Roosovelt took heroic measures to relieve the financial stringency and to supply funds to move the crops by authorizing the sale of $50,000,000 Panama Canal bends and $100,000,000 United States Treasury notes of indebtedness. The entire 5100,000,000 debt certificates will not be issued uDless needed. The Panama bonds 'will be used as the basis for additional banknote circulation, and the proceeds of the sale of the certificates of indebtedness will be placed in the national banks, particularly in the South and West, to enable the farmers to get the cash necessary to market their crops. President Roosevelt's letter to Secretary Cortelyou authorizing the 8150,000,000 bond and note Issue follows: "The White House, Washington. "My Dear Mr. Cortelyou?I have considered your proposal. I approve the Issue of the $50,000,000 of Panama bonds, which will be immediately available as the basis for additional currency. I also approve tbe Serena r\f n nA Ann nnn nr en mimh as you may find necessary, of $50 three per cent, interest bearing Government notes, the proceeds of the sale of which can be at once deposited by you where the greatest need exists. and more especially in the West and South, where the crops have to be moved. "I have assurance that the leaders of Congress are considering a currency bill which will meet in permanent fashion the needs of the situation, and which I believe will be passed at an early date after Congress convenes, two weeks hence. "WHAT IS MOST NEEDED JUST AT PRESENT IS THAT OUR CITIZENS SHOULD REALIZE HOW FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND BUSINESS CONDITIONS IN THIS COUNTRY ARE, AND HOW ABSURD IT IS TO PERMIT THEMSELVES TO OKLAHOMA'S STAR I NOW ON THE FLAG President Roosevelt Signs Proclamation A/imiltincf Staff- With I American Eagle Quill. Washington, D. C.?A new star was added to the American flag by the admission formally into the Union of the State of Oklahoma. President Itocsevelt at sixteen minutes after 10 o'clock a. m., signed the proclamation admitting the Territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory jointly as one of the American States. Little ' formality attended the ceremony which meant so much to the people of the two Territories. In appending his signature to the proclamation the President used a pen formed from a quill plucked from the wing of an American eagle. The pen will be deposited with the Oklahoma Historical Society. It was about sixteen minutes after 10 when Secretary Loeb threw open the do?ble door3 leading from the President's private office. He had the proclamation in his hand, which he laid on the large, square blotter at tne .f resident s position at tue uau of the table. The President entered and took his seat at once, was handed the long eagle quill pen by the Secretary, and, himself lifting the lid from the inkstand, dipped the pen and wrote his name in large letters, the pen making an audible scratch with each movement. When he bad finished his signature, the President picked up a small blotter, with which he blotted his name, i.nd thee. ir/.c- { ing up, exclaimed: "Oklahoma is a State!" Governor Haskell Takes Oath. Guthrie, Okla.?With impressive ceremonies befitting the birth of the new State of Oklahoma, the oaths of office were administered to Governor Charles N. Haskell and other State officers a few minutes before noon. When he had finished the Governor announced the appointment of Robert L. Owens, of Muskogee, and Thos. P. Gorr, of Lawton, as United States Senators. In one of the carriages were the chiefs of the five civilized tribes dressed as citizens. At the barbecue grounds portions of meats and other eatables were served to the thousands assembled on a semi-circular table from a huge pit in which thirty beeves had been cooked.

There is no particle of risk involved in letting business take its natural course, and the people can help themselves and the country most by putting back into active circulation the money they are hoarding. "The banks and trust companies are solvent. There is more currency in the country to-day than there was a month ago, when the supply was ample. Over $55,000,000 have been imported, and the Government has deposited another $60,000,000. These are facts, and I appeal to the public to co-operate with us in restoring normal business conditions. The Government will see that the people do not suffer, if only the people themselves will act in a normal way. "Crops are good and business conditions are sound, and we should put the money we have into circulation in order to meet the needs of abounding prosperity. THERE IS NO ANALOGY AT ALL WITH THE WAY THINGS WERE IN 1893. On November 30 of that year there was in the Treasury but $1 CI,000,000 in gold. On November 14 of this year there was in the Treasury $904,000,000 of gold. Ten years ago the circulation per capita was $23.23. It is now $33.23. "The steps that you now take, the ability of the Government to back them up and the fact that not a particle of risk is involved therein give the fullest guarantees of the sound condition of our people and the sound condition of our Treasury. All that our people have to do now is to go ahead with their normal business in a normal fashion and the whole difficulty disappears; and this end will be achieved at once if each man will act as he normally does act and as the real conditions of the country's con amon runy warrant nis now acung.

Testifies About Her Acquaintance With Arthur Brown, of Utah. RECITAL AFFECTS THE JURY Yielded to Protestations of Love? He Promised to Make Her His Wife?How He Finally Refused ?Near Physical Collapse. Washington, D. C.?With hundreds of eyes levelled at her and the son of the man she killed gazing steadily into her face Mrs. Annie M. Eradi ley took the witness stand in her own defense in her trial for the murder of ex-Senator Arthur Brown, of Utah, in the Raleigh Hotel last December. Mrs. Bradley rose almo3t willingly when the bailiff called her name. She took the oath and firmly mounted the two steps leading to the witness chair, but when she faced the curious crowd she turned deathly white and seemed ^bout to faint. There was no one near but a court official and as she gave her full name in answer to a question it was impossible even for him to hear what she said. For nearly two hours the court stenographers were compelled to repeat Mrs. Bradley's answers. It seemed impossible for her to gather the strength to make herself heard. When court adjourned at 3 o'clock p. m., by careful and steady questioning ! Judge Powers, chief counsel for Mrs. Bradley, had directed her through the entire course of her affair with Brown, from the time she met him in ; the spring of 1892 until the end of November, 1906, a few days before ! ho started on the journey to Washington that ended in his death. It was a pitiful story that Mrs. Bradley told, a story of an infatuation that forced the woman to give up family, home and friends for the man who constantly promised to make her his wife, who professed undying devotion to her continually telling her that she was "the only bright spot in his life," yet who dragged her through the mire and forced her name upon the lips of every man in Salt Lako City. Mrs. Bradley said she was thirtyfive years of ago; that she was born in Kansas City and educated in Denver; that she had had smallpox and pneumonia, and had been badly hurt by a blow on the head when a child. She went to Salt Lake City in 1890, and had lived there ever since. She had occupied a clerical position in the Salt Lake Water Works for three years and eight months. "Were you ever married?" she was asked by Judge Powers. "Yes, sir; I was married to Clarence Bradley a week after I loft the water works." Two children, a boy and a girl, resulted from this union, ehe said. Mr3. Bradley joined several literi ary and political organizations, and through them became acquainted with Senator Brown. She began to take an active part in Republican politics in Utah, where women vote, and became secretary of the State Committee. She was divorced from Bradley in 1905. Weeping so bitterly that what she said could hardly be heard,she confessed that her intimate relations with Brown had began in 1898, and that she learned to love him "beyond expression." At one time he wanted to get a divorce and marry her, but she would not consent to break up his home, and tried to break off the relationship between them. She cried, she said, when Mr. Brown made his first race for the United States Sanate and was defeated, but he cheered her with the p.ssurance that, whatever happened, they would stay together. Mrs. Bradley told about the birth of two boys; of how she had agreed in 1901 that Brown should get a divorce and marry her, and when she had warned him that it would cost him liis position he had declared that he cared for nothing but her. She went to Grand Junction, Col., in that year, and notwithstanding the place was 300 miles from Salt Lake City, the Senator came to see her every ten days. While they were at Grand Junction, Mrs. Bradley continued, Brown assured her that his arrangements for a divorce were progressing, and that a compromise with Mrs. Brown had been agreed upon. Mrs. Bradley said she told him to give the wife and her j children all his property. Ho then gave Mrs. Bradley a ring. Nearly every member of the jury ehewed the effect of Mrs. Bradley's I testimony. Few of the jurors could keep back the tears as she sobbed out her pathetic story. Mac Brown, the dead man's son, did not take his eyes off Mrs. Bradley's face from the minute she took the stand, and in all in the sea of faces which Mrs. Bradley confronted theva was not one o?i which was not written the reflex of the feelings of the lono little figure (n hlncif hnrinsr her soul to the world.

St. Petersburg, Russia.?After ascertaining the address of the Riga headquarters of the Lettish revolutionists the local police demanded admittance. The housekeeper, Greta Thomson, fifty-seven years old, cried out, "We shall not surrender without a fight!" whereupon a volley of shots was poured through tha doors on the police, who were oocupying both the front and rear stairs. The police retired into a neighboring apartment and attic, as the conspirators are living on the top floor of a flve-3tory house, and for four hours fired volley after volley through the walls and ceiling. The resistance finally ceased and when the police entered they found the bodies of four dead, including the Thomson woman; two wounded girls and four wounded men, Including one Hebrew. The latter attempted to escape and was killed. It is estimated that the revolutionists fired 700 shots from a Mauser and three Brownings before their I weapons were shattered. One policeman was slightly wounded, although all wore armor. ' Late the next night the Octobrist Club was the scene of a sharp conflict between the left and right wings of the party. The former, led by M. Vladimir Lvoff, of Samara, a brother of M. Nicholas Lvoff, protested against the Octobrists allowing themselves to be swallowed up by the reactionists. In concluding the arraign iUCilt 1J?UU OUV/UViVVt! ' "You have disgraced the party and discredited the Duma, which the public already distrusted as representing the landlords only." The room resounded with vociferious protests and a score of angry noblemen leaped to their feet. The voice of Baron Meyendorff, who had been a candidate for vicepresident, resounded like a clarion above the clamor. "Take back your words, which have I insulted the party and which I regard as an imputation upon myself." Lvoff did not answer and Baron Meyendorff, amid a deadly silence, repeated his demand, declaring that unless amends were offered he would send his seconds. The meeting dissolved amid great confusion. As the Deputies gathered around the disputants Baron Meyendorff's challenge was at first regarded lightly and as dropped in the heat of debate, but it soon became apparent that his words were meant in deadly earnest. Cooler heads, however, intervened, 1 and efforts to smooth matters over seem to have been successful, though the breach in the party may remain unhealed. ALABAMA BARS DRINK. Legislature Votes Prohibition, and Governor Will Sign Bill. Montgomery, Ala.?Women filled the galleries and lobbies of the State Senate when the prohibition bill cama up until, by order of Lieut.-Gov. Henry B. Gray, the doors were opened and they were allowed to mingle with the members. In the excitement the Senate passed the bill with two lone members in the negative, though nine noes had been expected. A shout of approval went up and the women broke into the "Doxology." The refrain was taken up in the halls until it was sung in every section of the building and had swelled to a mighty chorus. Showers of floWers were rained upon the Senators by the women. A carload of women came from Mobile to fight prohibition. In that city license money supports the schools. But as the women from Montgomery, Birmingham and Selma arrived first the lobby was so crowded that the Mobile contingent could not get even to the doors. They distributed badges with the words: "Save the schools of Mobile; 6000 women sign petition against prohibition." As soon a3 the speeclimakins bsgan the women cheered every good point until the galleries and the hall were in an uproar. As passed in the Senate, the bill makes the State dry on January 1, 1901.

Great point is given to his appeal by the presentation of statistics relating to two American families?lirst, that of Jonathan Ed-' v wards, the theologian; and second, that of the ancestor of a race of criminals: "Of a thousand descendants in the first case, 464 were distinguished men?judges,- professors, lawyers, college presidents, physicians, clergymen and authors; while of 1200 descendants of the other, 310 were professional paupers, 130 convicted criminals, sixty habitual thieves, and seven murderers, while 400 were self-wrecked, showing a record of crime, insanity and pauperism almost without precedent. What proportion of these two results is attributable to woman?" Professor Long contends that mod- 1 ern life tends to divide the interests of fathers and mothers, the former being content with earning bread and remaining master of the house, while the mother is left almost alone to train, for good or evil, the children. The old adage, "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world," is so worn as to be obsolete for many. It is no etaggeration to say that "if all Englishmen were the sons of good mothers we should be a new nation." ?London Christian.

I "Ten years ago I was obliged to fl give up my much loved work in the B public schools after years of continu- g ous labor. I had developed a well I defined case of chronic coffee poison- I ing. M "The troubles were constipation, 9 flutterings of the heart, a thumping in the top of my head and various fl parts of my body, twitching of my 2 limbs, shaking of my head and, at I times after exertion, a general 'gone' fl feeling with a toper's desire for very fl strong coffee. I was a nervous wreck ? for years. I "A short time ago friends came to I visit us and they brought a package ^ cf Postum with them, and urged me to cry it. I was prejudiced because some years ago I had drunk a cup of V weaK, tasieiess scun caiiea .rosium, which I did not like at all.
