' NO MORE THREE PER CENTS
•Cortelyou Will Make No PurtKcr Al-j
.: lotments of One Year Certificates
•; WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.— The final i
dosing: of allotment of thre- 3 percent:
tsne year certificates was definitely an
oouftoed by Secretary Cortelyou today. <
U& declared that no allotments had
been made or would be made after his
.announcement of Wednesday " night
fhat no further subscriptions would be'
; considered. Information was still
-tritliheld at the treasury as to the
•amount of the allotments-made, - but !
such information a? is obtainable indi
"caics that the total will not materially
?xo»^d $;5, 000,000. |
• Thpre app«ars to be no doubt that by I
far Oie largest part of the amount'al
lotted. probably. at least three-fifths, is
•subject to redemption with accrued In
terest within- three, months. On the
basis -of an issue of $25,000,000 this
vould amount to the redemption ol
.$!'\u25a0. 000,000 with interest to the amount
,of I>4 p*>r cent, Vlilch would require
. 1220/100 for the interest payments.' \u25a0
Thp offer? of thif Panama 2 per cent
bonds are still reaching the treasury. In
largo numbers. They will remain un
opened until "tomorrow afternoon, when
*he receipt of subscriptions closes. The
number of bids clojtely approximates
Hie number received for the loan of
July 20. 5P06. when an offer of $30,000,-
POO-wrs subscribed to the amount of
$44f,.000.0«0. or about 15 times the
etnount offered. •
The limitation of the one year cer
flcatesf to $25,000,000 or less i» regarded
by bankers he.re es a wise etep. in
view of its Influence tn preventing an
unnecessary expansion of bank note
circulation. The maximum expansion
posiMe on the new issues will stand
at $75,000,000. Instead of $150,000,000,
as was possible if the amount first sug
gested had been allotted, and It is not
relieved tliat anything like this maxl
tr.um will be attained. If $20,000,000 In
pew' bank note circulation is secured
£>y certificates subject to call next
\u2666prlng. this amount can easily be re
tire<j without Imposing *<\u25a0» serious a
bf rden upon live banks ac if the amount
Health \u25a0with were larger,
t A report reached the treasury depart
ment today that the Chicago banks
* vould resume currency paynient next
Morniay. In commenting on this fact
Secretary Cortelyou. Raid that his in
formation was that the New York
banks were daily increasing their cash
''paynw>nts nnd that the banks In all the
(rreat money renters were gradually
prctting back to normal conditions.
FAVOR CENTRAL BANK PLAN
Subject Considered and to Be Called
to Attention of Congress
So widespread has been the Interest
In the plan suggested by Frank B. An
derson, vice president of the Bank of
California, for a central national bank
that a movement has t>een eet on foot
to bring the matter to the attention
'of the federal authorities. Interest in
Anderson's proposals has not been con
fined to the Pacific coast, but Inquiries
as to the details have come from east
ern financial centers. Th« speech in
-which Anderson first gave expression
to his Ideas on the subject has been
.printed In pamphlet form and. given
tvide circulation.
The subject was given preliminary
consideration yesterday at an informal
conference of representatives of the
local commercial associations. Ander
eon was present and the discussion cen
tered about his plan to place the
finances ot the country on .an im
proved basis. No definite action^ was
taken, but the matter will be considered
again Monday. . . ; . .
Several suggestions for a central
bank have \u25a0 been advanced during the
cramped condition of the money mar
ket, and in one form or another the.
question trill come before -congress at
the approaching session. Local Jinan- '
citrs are of the, opinion that the plan
advocated by Anderson embodies fea
tures that will commend themselves to
congress.
The local banking situation showed
noticeable Improvement yesterday. Re
ports from New -York were to the ef
fect that the premium on gold had
\u25a0gain declined and this was interpreted
here as the best sign of the passing
of the stringency. In San Francisco gold
was at a premium for only a day or
two In the early stages of the flurry,
but for the past two weeks gold has
tjeen at par. \
More gold Is finding its way Into the
tnarkot every day. At the clearing
fcouse; the commercial, thermometer of
the city, an Increased amount of the
foetal has made lte appearance. When,
the first shock of tightening money hit
the city, gold disappeared almost en
tirely from the clearings. Of late the
\u25a0amount of gold has been growing until
tt has reached the sum of 195,000. As
• the amount of gold increases the clear
ing house will be able to take steps to
Call In the certificates.
. * A dispatch was received at the sub
treasury yesterday from- Washington
Instructing the local officials to take
•too more subscriptions for the govern
ment 3 per cent certificates. This action
was expected aa a press telegTam from
Washington had been received Thurs
day saying that the government bad de
cided to stop the sale of the certifi
cates. It was announced that paper to
the amount of $35,000,000 bad been sold
. tad allotted to the banks. The govern
tr.ent considered that the situation had
been 'relieved. It is not believed that
certificates will be allotted to any. of
th« three score applicants la San Fran
. Cisco, who subscribed for more than
TflOO.ooo worth of the paper.
No money was received yesterday on
transfer from the. east. Customs re
ceipts amounted to $25,360.64.

Xlueh orders hay* been given at the
mint to replenish the supply of dimes,

banks have reported that their re
lerves of small change have -been
greatly depleted. While gold has

END GUARDIANSHIP WAR
OVER MISS M'LAUGHLIN
Stepfather of Heiress and
Her Uncle, Dr. McEnery,
Abandon Contest
DENY NURSE'S STORY
Men Become Friends and
Rap Threatened Breach
of Promise Suit
' Prof. Andrew C. McLaughlin of the
University of Michigan and' Dr. William
A- McEnery of San Francisco, fresh
from a sharp legal contest in Salt Lake
for the guardianship of Miss Isabel
Lois McLaughlin, an heiress of this
city, arrived here last night and went
together to the McEnery home at 2100
Broadway as though nothing had ever
occurred to disturb their friendship.
Not only did they say that they had
reached an understanding as to the
care of Miss McLaughlin, but united In
declaring that there was no founda
tion for the charges made by Mies
Edith Evans, a trained nurse of Lon
don, who gave a sensational turn to
: the proceedings by threatening Dr.
McEnery with a breach of promise
suit. -
Although Dr. McEnery, who is the
stepfather of Miss Isabel, withdrew
from the guardiahship contest only
after Miss Evans appeared upon the
scene, he said that the best of feeling
prevailed between himself and Professor
McLaughlin, the uncle of the heiress.
As proof of this the physician said that
Professor McLaughlin would be his
guest while in San Francisco, and the
latter added that although he had been
appointed guardian of Miss Isabel she
would remain for the present with her
stepfather in this city. •
GIRL BECOMES AX HEIRESS
When Mrs. McEnery died some
months ago, her daughter by her first
marriage, Miss Isabe^ Lois McLaughlin.
inherited a generous share of the \ large
estate. Both Professor McLaughlin and
Dr. McEnery asked for letters of guar
dianship and their - claims reached a
climax when the matter was placed be
fore the court: In Salt Lake last week.;
ht the midst of the proceedings Miss
Edith Evans, the London nurse,» threat
ened a breach of promise suit against
Dr. McEnery and the physician at once
yielded to Professor McLaughlin on the
question of guardianship. Just how It
happened that Miss Evans appeared in
the matter at such a moment has not
been explained, but whatever differ
ences of opinion the two men enter- 1
tamed at the time as to the merits
of her claims they are now one In de
nouncing her.
SAYS HER STORY IS FALSE f: /
"I have Investigated the story of
Miss Evans and have found that it is
false," declared Professor McLaughlin
last night. "If I believed in it I cer
tainly would take a different position
than I do now, insomuch as I am
leaving my niece with Dr. McEnery
and his sister and will start for the
east tomorrow without her."
"The story told by Miss Evans is
false," Dr. McEnQry said, when he was
questioned concerning . the published
interview with the woman. . .
~Dr. McEnery's attention was called
to the : fact that Miss Evans had, said
that she met him. In a London hospital
and that they had ma.de a trip to Monte
Carlo together. • .
"Have you anything to say- to that?"
he was asked.
Dr. McEnery vwas agitated somewhat
by the question. He tugged at hin
blonde mustache . and impulsively
turned to Professor McLaughlin. "What
shall I say?" he asked.
"That her story is false," advised the
elder man, laconically.
"Why did Miss Evans select you as
a victim, then?"
"It Is possible that she has selected
others, too," Dr. McEnery replied.
REFUSES TO TALK FURTHER
"Has Phe made an effort to get
money from you?"
"I must decline to discuss the mat
ter," the doctor pleaded, an<d button
ing: his automobile coat about n»m he
hurried from the house to fill an ap
pointment. ' .-\u25a0/\u25a0•'
Professor McLaughlin, in discussing
the case, said: "There Is now no dif
ference of opinion between Dr. Mc-
Enery and myself. I have examined
this threatened suit with considerable
care and I don't take any stock in It at
all. But it appears to both of us, be
cause of interests necessarily involved,
that it would be wise for my niece to
be with my family for some time to
come. Dr. McEnery voluntarily with
drew from iae guardianship."
Both Professor McLaughlin and Dr.
McEnery added that the guardianship
matter was adjusted quietly, lest un
pleasant notoriety be Btlrred up by
Miss Evans. t

CRITICISES MOROCCO STRIFE
Yon Buelow Says Sacrifice of Euro
pean Lives Was Needless
BERLIN, Nov. 29.— Prince \u25a0 vpn Bue
low, the Ijnperial chancellor, delivered
a comprehensive speech in the, Reich
stag today relative to foreign politics.
He referred to the seriousness of the
situation In Morooco, and hinted that
some of ' the sacrifices of." European
lives would- not^ have ocurred had the |
international! police provided for by the j
Algeclras convention been organized
In June. He recognized, however, that
under the;- 'circumstances France and
Spain could not have acted otherwise
than they have, and that with them
rested the whole : resposlbllty.
Unfortunately German private inter
ests had suffered thereby, and> the Ger
man government would be compelled
to help the sufferers until theMnterna
tional commission made a settlement.
Referring .. to assertions that have
been made that . Germany, In recent
years, has twice been on the verge of
war, the first time in 1904,- during the
emperor's voyage in the Mediterranean,
and later In consequence of the crisis
in Morocco, Chancellor yon Buelow de
clared that neither^ Emperor William
nor President Loubet thought of war
In 1904.
Touching, upon Macedonia, Prince
yon Buelow said that Germany heartily
greeted the efforts of Russia and Aus
tria to establish peace in the Balkans
and ameliorate . conditions, there, and
he said that Germany j would willingly
assist in the attainment: of .an agree
ment between^ these powers and the j

ALAMEDA,' Nov. 29. — With 1.000 per
sona , on their feet cheering at the top
of their voices, with the audie/ce keyed
to a ; pitch ot enthusiasm the like of
which was never witnessed in this city,
with such, a demonstration that it
caused the: edifice fairly to tremble,
Francis J. Heney's address was received
tonight by the Goodfellows* club of the
First Christian church.
Heney "demanded that the railroads
and their allied interests should be put
out of "politics. He demanded that the
American people should be freed from
the political machine which was con
trolled by the railroad bosses, big-.and
little. He declared that a way out
of the mire, and the wretchedness of
political slavery was the direct primary,
and .he pledged, himself to battle for
that cause wiW, all of the vigor which
he v possessed.' .Dealing with the rail
road Heney said: - ..\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0
"Here in, Alameda the Southern Pa
cific wanted a franchise a while back.
Arid it got It Just as It has been getting
ev^ryything It .wanted all over the
state. - I propose getting for the South
ern Pacific something that it does not
want, and that is equality before the
law and absolute Justice.
\u25a0 "The railroad has been given by the
people* the'rigrhtof eminent domain and
the power of sovereignty, a sovereign
ty, euch- as not even the czar of all the
'Russias possesses, namely.' th&t of tax
ing everything ;that, is maifce and-,pro
duoed in this ' state.
"If the' government waC to , discrimi
nate and rebate In Its taxation the way
tbe railroads do there would 'be rebel
lion tomorrow and you would fight if
it wiped out half the lives of: this na
tion. That's the principle on wnlch the
revolutionary war; was fought. Another
war is to befought and the fight is on
now. The leader is Theodore Roose

going to win.-

CASEY STOPS PARTIAL
SEIZURES OF STREETS
Blocks Grabs by Telephone
Company and Attorney
E. S. Pillsbury .
President Michael" Casey of the
board of .'public works has 'saved two
str.eets from partial ' appropriation --' by
private Jnt er.es ts.T in one • instance
venting, the' Pacific telephone and .tele
graph" company- from seizing .one-half
pf the width of Berry place behind the
Bush street telephone building. ;and' in
the other case taking steps to stop a
grab by E. . S. Plllabury, the attorney,
of a five foot strip of sidewalk along
the entire block /of Broderlck street
from Pacific avenue to Broadway,' on
which Pillsbury had erected a brick
wall four feet high.
It may be no more than a coincidence,
but the Pillsbury family is mixed up in
both of the street grabbing ventures.
Horace J). Pillsbury. son of P. S. Pills
bury, Is the attorney for the telephone
company and as such advised the clos
ing up of Berry place, which has been
a public and accepted street for years.
Regarding the street grabbings Casey
sald:-',v-.K;%/; "' . - \ \u25a0
"The policeman detailed on Bush
street reported to me that the Pacific
telephone company had put a
fence extending 17 feet from the'com
pany's building into. Berry place. I
went to Horace D. Pillsbury. the attor
ney for'the company, and ordered him
to have the fence removed, stating that
Berry place was an accepted. street.
"Pillsbury said that the deed the com
pany got for its Bush street property
called for a lot 137.5 feet deep and that
the company was merely; fencing In: lts
own property. He asked that the com
pany, be allowed- to' keep the fence up
until it had qualified to prove title to
the property under, the j McEnerney act.
But- I reiterated that the fence must
come down and the police tell me that
It la now down.- \u0084 \u25a0 ; \
; "The case of E. S. PUlsbury Is differ
ent. He wanted to- Include five feet of
sidewalk for the length , of an entire
block within his property. His prop
erty la on the east ;iine' of ..Broderick
street between Pacific avenue and
Broadway.' The • sidewalk,; there is 15
feet wide and he fenced .in flvefeet of
it, putting up a brick wall three and a
half or four feet^hlrfh, which he was to
mount with .Iron palings.
;"I;went to him a; month ago and told
him that the wall would have -to .be
removed. I tpld htm j that the line
trespassed on city property. , He would
not grant that, but; offered, if allowed
to retain his "wall, to grant the city
any releasement. desired. He wanted to
acquire title under, the \u25a0 McEnerney %ct.
"I told Pillsbury that the city's; title
could not be violated and that the wall
would have to be \ removed, was
aAmonth ago.v but; since that tlma -I
have ' not \u25a0 had"; opportunity to look into
the matter. Tomorrow* I will take
steps to see that 'i the wall •Is . taken
down immediately. ;;/ ; "
Is a^danger that attempts may
be made ' in various | parts ; of the city to
grab .; streets by ;of \ the Me-
Enerney.act, and aa some streets have
been 1 dedicated -but not accepted it
would be .difficult ; to .protect -them, as
records were destroyed In . the fire. The
board of \u25a0'works intends to: watch 1 this
matter carefully.",

PASTOR TELLS OF VEILED
THREAT BY MRS. BRADLEY
She v Said Brown Would
Only Marry Her at
Point of a Gun
EVIDENCE IS ALL IN
Accused Smiles as She Is
Led From Courtroom
to Prison Van
WASHINGTON, Nov! 29. — *'Oh, I'm so
glad it is all over at last," exclaimed
Mrs. Annie M. Bradley, charged with
the murder of former Senator Arthur
Brown of Utah, as she was led, smiling,
from the courtroom to the prison van
on her way back to Jail after the
presentation of evidence had been con
cluded and court adjourned until to
morrow morning, when arguments will
begin. Judge Stafford announced that
an' agreement had been, reached among
counsel. for four hours of argument on
each side. These will be completed
Monday afternoon and Justice Stafford
said he would then deliver, the charge
and give the case to the Jury.
The testimony of the two govern
ment Insanity experts, Dr. Edward M.
Brush of Baltimore and Dr. Smith Ely
Jelliffe of New York, was the feature
of today's | proceedings, both of these
alien r.sts declaring that there was noth
ing In the record of the case to indi
cate that Mrs. Bradley was insane.
SEEK TO* IMPEACH TESTIMONY
Counsel for the defense attempted to
impeach the testimony of the experts
by showing that they had been called
for the government, and that as a mat
ter of fact; they were testifying- in the
interest of the government. Each of
them repudiated this charge, and de
clared that they would have testified
to her insanity had they found, her In
sane. They were questioned at length
and both cited the acts of the defend
ant, testified to by witnesses, as show
ing her to be sane. .' \u25a0\u25a0 -
Rev. David H. Utter, pastor of the
Unitarian church of Denver, who. in
former testimony had been referred to
as the "priest." was placed on tha
stand. lie was Mrs. Bradley' s pastor
inSalt I^ke City, and testified to a
conversation he had with her In 1905,
she saying in effect, according to his
testimony, that Senator Brown would
marry her when a gun was placed b.e
fore him. but the pastor added he did
not understand that . she -proposed
shooting him. She rather thought
some one else would undertake to force
him to marry her. :'\u25a0 \u25a0
Mrs. Bradley was recalled and stated
that she had no recollection of such a
conversation. The pastor occupied a
seat at her side during most of the
day and appeared to sympathize with
her in her predicament.
MRS. BRADLEY'S VEILED THREAT
When Rev. David Utter, pastor of
the Unitarian church at Denver, Colo.,
who was in Salt Lake City in Novem
ber, 1905. exchanging pulpits with a
minister of that place, was called to
the stand he was asked to testify con
cerning a conversation he had with
Mrs. Bradley. He said he went to the
defendant because of her trouble.
. The defense objected to _the reception
of his testimony on the ground- that If
ho was he was called to contradict the.
defendant's testimony, the ; government
would have to submit specific ,, state-,
ments to him.andcQuld* not examine
him concerning his talk with Mrs.
Bradley. .
The court called counsel of both
sides .to-' the bench and after a long
conference with them the attorneys de
cided to go to an anteroom for further
conference.
When counsel returned Dr. Utter was
placed on the stand, and in reply to a
question said that on the occasion of
the conversation Mrs. Bradley told him
she believed Mr. Brown. would marry
her. The witness continued:
"I expressed the opinion that he
never would. But she thought that he
wpuld. She said that when it came to
a test and a gun was pointed at Arthur
Brown he "would accede and marry her.
I don't remember her exact words. She
said. Arthur Brown was a coward at
heart and If a gun was pointed at him
and he was told" he must marry her he
would do so. I told her I did not be
lieve. Arthur Brown was a coward. \u25a0
WOULD NOT SHOOT *-\ '.
Q. Did not you say to her in the
course of that conversation, "You would
do that, would you?" and she replied,
"Of course not." "
•\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 A. "Yea. I said, "Suppose he calls
your, bluff, what then? .Would you
shoot?"' ' "Oh, no," was h'er-answer.
The witness was then excused and he
took a chair behind Mrs. Bradley and
comforted her. They conversed freely
and Mrs. Bradley: evidently felt, that
Dr. Utters testimony had not hurt her,
smiling at. something he. said.
