Soon after Mr. Ferrell was taken to the police station several of the it -mates of the house of Bertha Brown drove up to the police court, in a state of much perturbation and told Chief Mulllns that Irene Vallier, the wo man who had struggled with Bertha Brown to take the pistol from Mr. Ferrell, had tried to shoot herself in her room, having actually fired a pis tol, and they were afraid to stay in the house with her. The chief then went back to the house and found the woman consid erably under the influence of liquor end with a slight scratch on her fin ger. She denhd positively that she had tried to commit suicide, but. on account of her condition and in order to make sure of her as a witness the chief put her under arrest also, and she is in the lockup too.

She says :hnt she does not want anything done to Mr. Ferrell, as she does not consider that he war trying to shoot anyone when tho pis tol went off.

This man states that he was not in the house even when the weapon was drawn, having !c:t. in order to avoid trouble. However, he went io the police last night and told them that he would respond to any summons if he was desired as a witness, al though he had seen nothing of the struggle with the women or the shooting. Dr. D. S. Rowland, who is attend ing the injured woman, stated this morning that her condition was crit ical. The bullet passed in at the icht side, about midway between the hip and shoulder, through the end of the liver, through the lower part of the right lung, possibly grazed the heart and is evidently lodged in the left lung. The wonan was In a ban state of colhipse for awhile after the shooting, but rallied well, and is now resting fairly well under the influence of the medicine administered.

EXPORT COTTON RATES New Law Presents Grave Problem to Shippers Cotton Producing States and Rail roads Interested in Important Hearing Ordered by Interstate Commerce Commission Thirty Day Notice Question, (By the Associated Press.) Washington, Aug. 31. A hearing of importance to the cotton produc ing states and to the cotton carrying railroads will be held here by the interstate commerce commission on Wednesday, September 12. it will relate to petitions which have been received by the commission for au thority to change rates on export cotton on lass than thirty day:s no iice to the commission which is pro vided for in the new interstate com merce act. The mallei' involves a question of particular interest not only to the railroads, but also to cotton ship pers. Heretofore it has been a prac tice of ocean currying steamers to change their rates on the transpor tation of cotton from this country to points in other countries almost without notice to the railroads car rying the product in the 1'nited States. In order to meet, this con dition, ths railroads have been in the habit of quoting rates on cotton from inland points to the seaboard in Consonance witli the ocean carry ing rales. Many of the railroads are opposed io this sudden and some times viol nt change in rates and the declaration has been made by railroad officials that if the inter state commerce commission will in sist upon the provision of the new taw tor a tmriy days notice ot a change of rates the cotton shippers easily can adjust themselves to the dt nation. It will be necessary for the com mission io issue an order as to the matter but before doing so it has been decided lo hear all sides of the question.

New York, August 31. William .) linings Bryan, of Nebraska, landed in New York City yesterday after noon at 4 o'clock and was the re cipient of a continual ovation from that hour until he had finished a notable eighty-minute address be fore 20,000 persons gathered in Madison Square Garden. Mr. Bryan outlined vigorously and clearly the principles he thought should guide the democrats in their next cam paign. Mr. Bryan's speech was a clear cut outline of his ideas as to what the democratic policy should be. The election of United States senators by the people; regulation of trusts by ihe government; a universal eight-hour day; a settlement of au international disputes by arbitra tion rather than by resort to force, and revision of the tariff were some of his points. Mr. Bryan de clared, however, that he was merely expressing his own opinion and not attempting to forecast the policy of his party. Mr. Bryan declared that the trusts were the great issus of the day. He called for the enforce ment of the criminal clause of the Sherman anti-trust law and the placing of trust controlled articles on the free list. He went into the question of the government ownership of the rail roads at great length and declared that what he had seen in other coun tries had served to strengthen his convictions on the subject. He saw danger in centralization, however, and for this reason advocated the federal Ownership of the trunk lines and the state ownership of the local lines. He said in part: I return more convinced than be fore of the importance of a change in the method of electing United States senators. There is noticeable everywhere a distinct movement to ward democracy in its broadest sense, in all the countries which I have visited there i sa demand that the government be brought nearer to the people. Throughout Europe, the movement manifests itself in various forms. In the United States litis trend toward democracy has taken the form of a growing demand for the election of United States senators by a direct vote of the people, it must bo diffi cult to overestimate the strategic id vantage of this reform, for since every bill must receive the sanction of the senate as well as the house of representatives, before it can be come a law, no important legislation of a national character is possible un til the senate is brought into har mony with the people. I am within the limits of the truth when I say that the senate has been for some years the bulwark of predatory wealth, and that it even now con tains some men who owe their elec tions to favor-seeking corporation and are so subservient to their mas ters as to prevent needed legislation. The popular branch of congress has four times declared in favor of this reform by a two-thirds vote and more than two-thirds of the states have demanded it, and yet the senate ar rogantly and impudently blocks the way. The Income Tax. The income tax which some In our country have denounced as a social istic attack upon wealth has, I am pleased to report, the endorsement of the most conservative countries in' the old world. It is a permanent part of the fiscal system of most countries of Europe and, in many places it is a graded tax, the rate be ing highest upon the largest incomes. England has long depended. uPn tne income tax for a considerable part of her revenues and ah English cpm mission is now investigating the Prop osition to change from a uniform in a graded tax. I have been absent too long to speak with, any author ity on the public sentiment in this (Continued on third page.) t
