Washington, Nov. 13.—A* many per.
Hits were turned away as entered
criminal court room No. 7. At 10 a.
the narrow corridors were crowded
with curious men and women who
crowded to the door only to be pushed
hack by the smiling but. Inexorable
voung door keeper In uniform.
"The Judge has ordered that no spec
tators be allowed In the court room un
ill after 1 o'clock." he repeated hun
dreds of times. His courtesy and pa
tlence were unfailing as his Inexorable,
ness.
The Judge entered. Every one In the
court room rose, the pale little prisoner
in black steadying herself as she rose
by gripping the arm of her chair tight
Iv with her black-gloved hand.
"This court Is declared open," said
the clerk with the stiff, gray pompa
dour and the rancous voice, and the
trial of Annie M. Bradley, charged with
the murder of ex-Unlted States Sena
tor Brown had begun. It wae the fate
ful 13th. but the paltld-llpped prisoner,
reminded of this, answered: "I am not
superstitious.”
The prisoner, gowned In black silk
and wearing a black felt hat. trimmed
with tvlngs, sat Just behind her attor
neys. Her mother, bent and feeble,
dressed In a dark green tailor-made
suit and small black bonnet, sat a few

perfunctory questions as to age, mar
ried or single, state, occupation, tvheth.
er the newspaper accounts of the crime
had been read and whether those ac
count! had caused him to make up his
mlhd Irrevocably.
"Do you believe any person should
take the law Into hia own hands to
avenge private wrong!?” he aaked.
Although Mrs. Bradley had said be

Intended to take no part In the selec

Smiles were provoked by the vigor
ous gum chewing and laconic answers
of a talesman and the protest of the
iluaky medical student that the only
teaaon he knew why he should not
, serve upon the Jury wat that his "time
was pretty precious."
Although Judge Orlando W. Powers
Is counsel In chief for the defense the
examination of the talesmen wae con
ducted by George P. Hoover. Both the
district attorney and .Attorney Hoover
have ringing voice* that reverberat#
through the old court room.
The Intent of the attorney* to aelect
tnen of middle age and of family la
already apparent. Already It Is the
gossip of the atreet* that every man

Many Important Matters.
The regulation of public utllttle*. the

and municipal regulation plana; the
Income tax; the municipal Inspection
of gas and electric light meters; all
these matters will be considered by the
committee, and others, and the results
of these Investigations will be embraced
In the new charter which will be drawn
up by the commission.
The committee which will report title
ordinance Is composed of Councilman
Longlno. chairman; and Councilman
Pomeroy and Roberts. The decision
was reached at a meeting held In the
office of the chairman In the Century
building at noon.
The committee flrst took up the res
olution by Alderman Curtis, but the
decision was reached that the question
of Just who should be elected by the
people, who by council, and who by
boards. Is such an Intricate and com
plicated one, and the people are so
hopelessly divided on the question, that
It was practically. Impossible to arrive
at a satisfactory and Intelligent con
clusion on all the points Involved.
The Idea of a charter revision com
mission was then suggested and dis
cussed and It met with Instant favor
on the part of all three coundiinen.
Need of New Charter.
"W* want a strong - commission."
stated Councilman Pomeroy. “One
that will dig deep, study hard and
reach rock bottom. One that will work
and is able to work intelligently and
Is fearless to report Just what is the
best form of government. Our charter
has been patched and patched and
amended and amended until It Is noth
ing but a patchwork affair now and
without any definite design."
“My sentiments exactly." assented
Councilman Roberts.
"It Is the best thing the city of At-

Before Mr*. Morgan realised what had

MAY MANUFACTURE

Officials Say Will Make No
More Beer, But.Are Add
ing to Plant.
The fact that the Atlanta Browln*
and Ice Company Is at present prepar
ing to make Improvements at Its plant
Just a month and n half before prohi
bition goes Into effect, has moused
much discussion In business circles ns
to what will be done with the 11,000,00')
outfit at Courtland and East Harris
streets, " • '• ;•
Will the plant be closed down alto-
gether, nx the antlx declared during the
prohibition agitation prior to the pa--
suge of the bill?
Will the plant be nltered no that 1< -

manufactured?
Or do the head* of the big brewery
expect to successfully context the law.
ngainst manufacturing beer, ss the
Kavnnnnh brewers announced several
month* ngo that tjic.v would do?
Judging from an emphatic denial by
one of the officers of the brewer}' Wert,
nesday morning, the latter course
seems very unlikely. The officer de
clined to any whst would be done with
the ptnnt, but declared:
"We are no law-breakers We will
abide by, the law and make no beer
here after December 31."
Vo Build New Tank.
The application for a permit Tuesday
to erect n 52.800 tnnk home, which will
necessitate n tank coating much more,
goes to show that the Idea which many
Imd that the great' plant would be ab
solutely useless during prohibition I*
not held by the heads of the company.
The cu-rent rumor In buslnearelide.,
I* that the Atlanta Brewing and Ice
Company will manufocture le* for gen
eral consumption and probably make
and bottle soft drink*. Several peo
ple have staled that one of the offi
cials of the company mad* this aiate-
ment. .y.'UJjM
With the exception of the statement
above, all the officers have declined to
y to wh»t use the big plant will fa-
put. They gay that prohibition means
u great lois to them, which few doubt,
but it I* now believed that they expect
to earn a fair dividend on the value of
the plant by making soft rtrinks ml
lee.
The brewery owns about the finest
bottling mid Ice plant In the South, and
It la stated that It can well afford (o
spend money adapting their factory m
the manufacture of Ice and soft drinks.
Of course that part of the machtnerv
and buildings useful only for making
beer will have to be left unused.
It le believed that the stockholders
have decided to go nhead altering Hie
plant and that the tank la Just a start,
ei. At present the company is making
beer as fast as It can.
