suggests a federation of European nations to increase prosperity and discourage war, along the lines of our federation of 48 states. He sent an outline of his plan has, European states. Such a step, taken by the richest, most powerful nation on the continent, is of great importance, although, probably nothing will come of it now. idea is not new. CharleTHE magne made it almost a reality in his scheme of personal grandeur.

than 300 years ago it was suggested by Henry fourth's great minister Sully. Suily was a real politician and military genius and statesman. He restored the finances of France, made Henry turn Catholic, for the good of France, although he, Sully, retained his protestantism until death. He saw, as every intelligent man does, that Europe would grow 111 wealth, happiness and power if cooperation could be made to replace war. TT IS one thing to propose a wise move, another to wipe out a move, another to wipe out a thousand hatreds, suspicions and jealousies, racial, political and religious.

If you cannot bring the north and south of Ireland together, men speaking the same language, and all Christians, how can you unite Magyars and Belgians, French and Italians Russia 15 left out of Briand's plans, necessarily, for giant Russia intends to play out her own game Britain has a federation of dominions, big enough, closely united, and feels that she can count on this country. However, sensible talk is useful, even though nothing may come of it. CALIFORNIA is expected to show a gain of 2.000,000 population, in the new census, the greatest gain ever made by any state in any decade. In California people live long. Babies and children play in the sunlight all the year round, and do not die.

And the wise move in, from all directions, bringing with them enough to live on, quietly. With enough to live and peace of mind there 1S no excuse for dying in California. Each new birth, each new arrival from the outside is practically PROFIT. TN THIS census, New York gains 26 per cent, against California's 55 per cent, Amazing increase 15 California's habit. Her 1920 census showed a gain of 1,550,000 over 1910.

Those now living will see California with a population equal to that of Italy. or France, and wealth far greater than New York state possesses now, Wall street included. A DMR. of the Bristol U. S.

and Admr. both Jones navy say this country does not want the six-inch guns cruisers, which Britain and Japan kindly allowed us to build. Admr. Bristol is chairman of the navy general board. Admr.

Jones was a member of the delegation sent to London. He knows ships. and his views were ignored. BRISTOL tells Sen. Hiram Johnson that the treaty does not give us equal strength with Britain.

Admr. Jones tells the senate that it increases the strength of Japan. Admr. Bristol testified that the navy general board of which he is chairman obiects to the freshly imported naval treaty. We want to England our big international bankers desire it.

and our government is, largely, their echo. But officers of the U. S. navy surely should at least share with bond bankers the control our fleet. It seems difficult to believe that the senae would pass such a treaty, even to oblige England and Japan.

TO of our KNOW 120.000.000 how 100.000.000 out people feel. the 100.000.000 that vote and work. but don't amount to much in government, talk with your railroad conductor and brakeman or engineer. He knows. One conductor said to this writer: "I don't know what's the matter with this counry.

I can' understand why we desrov battleships because somebody tells us to and then build more of them. I don't know what the senators are doing, if it were not for those western senators, those 'sons of wild jackasses' as they call them WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANYBODY." TT MAY comfort those wild sons, among them "western senators" looked down upon by respectable Wall street finance, to know that somebody pays attention to them.

Brady Jury Agrees On Three Years Austin Man Denies at Last He Killed Girl (Continued from page 1) state of collapse from the strain of the trial. "He was so completely worn out with the case that he wanted something done about it--regardless of what the result might be." Mr. Hughes said. That final curtain in the tragedy -drama involving the life of John Brady fell on a sordid courtroom scene. Most of the seats were taken.

so quickly did the news spread that a verdict was about to be returned. While lawyers were being notified, spectators swarmed in. Brady and his wife embraced each other, sobbing bitterly, for a quarter of an hour after the verdict was read. The murder fans swarmed inside the rail, encircled the aged couple, and stood watching them as they wept until a deputy took Brady back to jail, followed by his wife. Victory for Each Side There was something of victory in the result for the lawyers on both sides of the case.

Half a dozen took part on the state's side. Besides Dist. Atty. William McCraw of Dallas county and his assistants, Dist. Atty Henry Brooks and Asst.

County Atty. Hardy Hollers of Travis county took important roles in the prosecution. It was Brook's biggest case since he has been district attorney, and it afforded political thunder to the Dallas prosecutors as well. The guilty verdict was read. Brady, seemingly hopeful until the last that he would be acquitted, could not restrain his emotions, His wife cried with him.

Mrs. W. G. White of El Paso, and Will Brady of Ventura, his sister and brother, tried to console him. When the foreman of the jury read the verdict, Mrs.

Brady threw her arms about the defendant and both burst into sobs. Cries Out Denial. "I didn't do it; I didn't do it," cried Brady. "I do not deserve that sentence." For the first time since Miss Highsmith was stabbed to death, Brady denied commission of the crime in his exclamation after the jury had reported. Hughes and Monroe, defense attorneys, issued this statement: Defense Not Through "We are not through yet.

We will free him the next time." That indicated a plea for a new trial or an appeal to the higher court. Only three hours of deliberation preceded the agreement of the jury this morning. They bediscussing the case shortly gan after 8 o'clock when they refrom breakfast, and at turned o'clock sent word to Judge 11 Charles A.

The second showed seven to five for conviction, five favoring a suspended sentence. ballot, the first one of The third today, was 10 for three years in and two for five vears, The prison fourth ballot was unchanged. The fifth ballot agreed on conviction with a three- year sentence.

Brady's lawyers did not evidence much disappointment over the verdict. State's attorneys made no statement about the decision. They did the opinion that the conexpress viction would be upheld on appeal. Rise and Fall Tole From start to finish the trial of the former high court judge was a theatrical event, attracting curious throngs that packed the courtroom to its four walls during every day it was in progress. The picturesqueness of the aged defendant itself was an inducement to the curolsity seekers.

In many ways the crime of which he stood accused was A parallel of the James Snook murder case--the slaying of a girl by her paramour. Brady rose and fell from high place, according 10 his own witnesses. As a young man he a distinguished himself by representing the state in a lawsuit by which Announces for Race Another step in a long career of by Sen. John Hornsby in his district. He will oppose James Dolan of Georgetown.

the Standard Oil company was driven out of Texas for violation of its anti-trust laws. and a judgtent of more than $1,000,000 was obtained and collected. Brady 1s said to have been paid $90,000 by the state for his work in handling the case. At that time he was county attorney of Travis county. Subsequently he became an assistant attorney general, an attorney for the state banking department, and finally judge of the third court of civil appeals in Austin.

It. was while he was running for re-election to the bench, it was testified at his first trial, that he went forth in a debauch, and showed himself in drunkenness on the streets of Austin. Subsequently, he was defeated. Since that time, his wife said, he has drowned his disappointments in drink, and has forsaken the company of his former friends for people of questionable reputation.

Insanity was pleaded at his first trial. held in Austin last winter, and the jury disagreed. Nine voted for the death penalty. two for life imprisonment, and one man held out for acquittal.

Former attorneys general, judges, bankers and jawers by the dozens came to the rescue of the aged defendant. declaring him to be insane and irresponsible for his acts. But the state bolstered the facts of the killing with testimony of other former friends of the defendant who said he wasn't crazy.
