The subscriptions so far received at the local sub-treasury seem to indi cate that the laiger banks in this city are temporarily withholding their of fers for purchase. The sub-treasury officials are not disposed to make pub lic the amount of subscriptions receiv ed there during- the past three days, saying they are merely acting as transmitting agents for the Treasury Department at Washington to which point the offers are being forwarded m m. x-l a me ract mat tne Danes are noiaingc off for the time being has led to the more or less definite report that heads of the larger banking institu tions are desirous of obtaining some sort of assurance from Washington that the money paid out here for the purchase of the securities wil be left on deposit in -local institutions. The currency premium varied between 2 1-4 and 2. 3-4 during most of today's negotiations, with . some transactions as high as 3 per cent. With the price of currency ruling at these figures, it was said the bankers coud not see their way clear to purchasing the cer tificates of indebtedness under any other management than the retention of the purchase money on deposit in this city. The money shipments from New York to the interior have been Quite - heavy recently and the banks Here are anxious to continue this means of assistance to the general financial situation. , There has been absolutely no indi cation as yet of a syndicate bid for the treasury certificates forthcoming from associated banks in this city such as has been Intimated since Monday, unless It be in the fact that several large loans were called In to day. The revival of the reports today of the poslbillty of a favorable out come to the negotiations for all Amer ican loan in France with the treasury certificates as a basis, has strength ened the rumor of an associated bid from New York bankers, the govern ment securities when obtained to be so arranged that they may be consid ered as collateral for gold loans under the rules of the bank of France. Some of the New York banks are said to-be holding off- in the matter of subscriptions so as to give the small investors, with hoarded savings a chance -o put In their claims and thus draw into circulation the money for which the certificates were large ly designed, pearly all of the larger bankshere have received orders from customers to make purchases of cer tificates for their acount These pur chases are to be made out of deposits already in hand, however, and are ot bringing money into the market. had concluded, District Attorney Baker entered upon his cross-examination. He devoted comparatively little atten tion to the shooting itself, but going back to the early days of the relation ship between Senator Brown and Mrs. Bradley sought to show by reading letters and questioning the witness that she had deliberately undertaken to break up Senator Brown's home and that sh-3t. was'at enmity with Mrs. Brown as early as 1901. He also brought out the fact that Mrs. Brad ley and Mrs. Browp ' had originally been strong friends and that this friendship even extended beyond the time Qf the birth of Mrs. Bradtey's first child by Brown.

"Did you then love him?" asked Mr. Powers. j "Yes," replied the witness. She said that even as late as No vember 27, twelve days before the tragedy, Mr. Brown had asserted that she should not go away but should remain in Salt Lake and take a house there. At other time he would say he could do nothing for her, and again he would ren-aw his promise of marriage "when they would go to Gold Fkld, Nevada, to live." "His manner was so variable," she said, "that at one time I was buoyed up and full of hope and at others ut terly dejected." As late as Thanksgiving day, 190C, tbiy had dinner together. "He was very kind, very sad, very dejected at that time," she said, "and didn't want to talk." As for herself she had be come very nervous. Approaching the visit to Washing ton she said Brown had told frsr of his Intention to come to this city but she did not know the exact date. Then It was she decided to go to Los Angeles, for which place she start: ed on December 4, 1906, but when she reached Ogden changed her, mind and at that place exchanged her ticket for one to Washington. "The impulse to change seized me when I, got to Ogden and realized that to be the parting of the way," vshe said. She was very ill on the train.

United States Senator Joseph Benson Fora ker, of Ohio, was today endorsed for re-election to the Senate and for the Republican nomination for President, at a joint meeting of the executive and the advisory committees of the Ohio League of Republican Clubs. The committees declare that they liave no sympathy with the proposi tion that Senator Foraker be elimi nated from public life because' he wasf. not able to agree with President Roosevelt on all questions. The ac tion of the committees at once brought out a challenge from A. I. Vorys, manager of the Taft proposed Presidential canvass, . for a popular primary of Ohio Republicans for a candidate for President. About 100 ardent supporters of Sen ator Foraker, members of the commit tees, or holding proxies, were In at tendance at today's meeting. The resolutions endorsing Senator Foraker were presented by Warren G. Hairing, formerly lieutenant gov ernor, and they were adopted unani mously, the announcement of the vote . arousing cheers. TRAGEDY IN EDGECOMBE. Six miles off Tarpon Springs, Fla., cn the Gulf's bottom, fifty-seven feet under the surface, Nicholas Andreas and John Bastonias, Greek sponge divers, fought desperately with sponge hooks for the possession of a big sponge. Both received painful wounds. Andreas came to Tampa to institute prosecution against Bas tonias onljr to - learn that no court had jurisdiction. Judge Andrew Crawford, one of the most distinguished members of the Columbia, (S. C.,) bar, died in court there yesterday while examining, a witness in a civil case.. Judge Craw ford had just asked the witneg a Question, when he excused himself and went to the judges' room. He threw himself upon a couch and asked that a doctor be summoned. He ex pired in five minutes. injured. Quck work by the mill fire department prevented the destruction of millions of feet of timber following the explosion. DESPERATE DEED OF LOVER.
