WEIGHING ALL MAIL. ON
RAILROADS OF
COUNTRY
Mail Clerks Must Keep Close
Record for the Next
Thirty Days.
CONGRESS DESIRES
COMPLETE STATISTICS

New York, Oct AT one min
ute after midnight this morning
railroad mail clerks throughout the
country began weighing the malls as
required by an act of congress The
weighing will continue for thirty
days.
1t is the first time in the history
of the postoffice department that
weighing all the mail matter on all
trains over all the roads on which
mail clerks are employed has been
required. In former years special
periods were set aside to determine
the amount of certain class mail
matter carried over certain roads
only.
The object of the thirty days
trial is to give the department and
congress reliable statistics to deter
mine the cost OF handling and trans
porting the different classes of mail.
Applies to All.
Each class of mail will be kept
entirely separate on the records of
the clerks. and in the postoffices of
the country each class and the
amount of postage on each will be
carefully recorded. AS congress fall
ed TO provide money for scales for
this Weighing, it will be done on the
scales already in the possession of
the government and in use on rail-
roads

LAND FRAUD CASE
MAY END SHORTLY
Strong Probability That Judge
WhitSOn VIII Take 1t From Jury
Unless Prosecution Proves
Senator's Connection
With Conspiracy.

Boise. Idaho, Oct. 1.-The Borah
trial was interrupted for a time to-
day to allow the special grand jury,
which has been investigating the
charges of misconduct against Dis
trict Attorney Ruick to report. The
grand jury declared that the charges
were mot a true bill" and returned
indictments against two of the men
who filed the affidavits against
Ruick.
Charges Against Ruick.
The charges against Ruick, which
caused the investigation of his con-
duct by the grand jury acting under
orders from the district judge, were
that he used undue influence with
the previous grand jury to obtain
cases against Senator Borah and
that he argued with the jury con-
cerning the alleged facts against
Borah, when he could, legally, only
furnish the jury with the law on the
case.
Rulck denied that he had done
more than to furnish the jury with
the witnesses necessary to secure the
indictments in the land fraud cases,
and declared that he had not in any
way influenced the jurors against
Borah.
Two members of the former grand
jury fled affidavits with the court
charging chat Ruick did use unlaw-
full means to indict Borah. These
two men are now under Indictment
for false swearing.
Judge Whitson had instructed this
grand jury, when 1t took the oath.
to carefully inquire into the facts
concerning the indictment of Borah
and IL it found that Ruick had used
undue means, to indict him. On the
other hand If the jury found that
the prosecuting attorney had not
committed a breach of the law, the
men who made the affidavits must
be indicted. With this stringent in
struction' which, however. Is declar-
ed legal by good authority here, the
jury could not well keep from in
dieting someone.
The two men indicted for false
swearing are prominent residents of
the county and their friends believe
Ruick because they believed they
were right They will give bond as
soon as the necessary papers are
served on them, and will fight the
case to the finish.
1t is probable that another effort
Will be made later to secure an in
dictment in this same connection
against Ruick, who is not popular
here.
Trial May End Suddenly.
What will probably be the last
day of the prosecution in the Borah
case began this morning with the
Introduction of evidence to show that
the defendant in his capacity as at
torney for the Barber Lumber COM
pany had many deeds to timber
lands recorded in the office of the
county clerk in this city The de-
fense announced yesterday that this
could in no way connect Borah with
any criminal conspiracy and that
they were ready to concede the fact
without any testimony whatever
The government attorneys declined
TO accept the offer.
1t is stated that Borah's counsel
will move to have the case taken
from the jury Immediately when the
government closes. Judge Whitson
notified the prosecution last night
that he would allow no more testi-
mony of a general nature until some
evidence connecting the defendant
with the alleged crime Is produced

M|SCREANT STABS
VALUABLE HORSE

Socorro, n. NJ, Oct. Especially
Some one crept into the stable Of
w. e. Martin here Saturday night
and stabbed a fine racing mare own
ed by Mr.. Martin in the thigh. The
wound was several inches in length
and three inches deep. The horse is
one that Mr.. Martin had been train
ing for the Socorro county fair races,
and 1T is believed that the animal
was stabbed by some one who was
afraid of her. The wound Is not
considered serious and will not re-
suit in permanent injury. but was
sufficient to keep the horse out Of
the races.

GRAND JURY WITNESS
SALOON RUINED
BY BOMB
Rogers Testified in Gambling
Cases and Suffered In
Consequence.

Chicago, oct. IA nitro glycerine
bomb was exploded last night on the
floor of ex-Alderman John A. Rog-
ers' saloon on West Madison and
May streets, practically running the
place. Rogers was a witness earlier
in the day before the grand jury
which is expected TO return whole
sale gambling indictments. This is
the tenth explosion in a series re-
sulting from the war among the
gamblers.
The explosion al Rogers saloon,
the police believe, was beyond any
doubt the work of the faction which
has favored public gambling and
which Is now being investigated by
the grand jury. Rogers is known 10
be a friend of the gamblers, but a
straight man who probably told the
grand jury all ne knew regarding
matters on which he was questioned.

FORMER SHERIFF BLOWN
Up BY BOMB IN
OREGON
Assassin Used Wire to Pull
OFF Big Charge of
Dynamite.

Baker City, oregon. oct Am
attempt was made last night to as
sassinate former Sheriff Harvey K.
Brown by blowing him up with a
dynamite bomb. He had Just re-
turned from a trip to mining prop
erty owned by him. He was found
lying on the sidewalk near the gate
to his home. He is now at a hos
pital in a critical condition. One leg
was blown off, one arm badly mu-
tilated, and there are internal injur-
les.
A wire was found extending 25
feet along the fence and about thir-
~ feet further to the middle of the

ploded the bomb by pulling the wire.
The motive for the crime Is noe
known and there is no clue to ths
murderer.

DEATH MEETSH|M
ALONE IN A
TENT
John Hickey Found Dead By
Employer Yesterday Morn
ing-Was Result of Natural
Causes.

The body Of John Hickey was found
yesterday morning by his employer,
who was searching for him because
he did not show up for work. The
was in a tent which the deceased had
been using to sleep Ia since the fire
on chihuahua Hill Physicians who
view the remains state that the man
undoubtedly died from strangulation,
due to rupture. II is known that he
has been a sufferer from this trouble
for some time.
When Hickey did not snow up for
work yesterday morning at O'Clock,
James Callahan, for whom the deceas-
ed had been working for some time as
a cement man, Immediately visited his
tent and found that he had died dur
ing the night From all indications
Hickey had been dead for some time
and probably came to his death soon
after retiring.
The deceased was about So or 56
years old and had been a resident OF
Bisbee for some time and was fairly
well known about town. Several years
ago he suffered a severe rupture and
the occurrence of Monday night was
liable to have happened at any time.
No funeral arrangements have as
yet been made and the inquest was
not held on account of Judge Hogan
being at Tombstone for the day. This
win probably be held some time today.

verdict will be that death was from

The Women's Toggery

suke Yada, the second secretary Of
the japanese legation to the Mexican
Herald after his recent thorough in
vestigation of the condition of his
countrymen throughout the republic.
His investigation was personal and
he closed it in his visit mere last
week.
Secretary Yada seems very bitter
and in unequiyocal terms says that
his countrymen were enticed here by
irresponsible immigration agents in
Japan who grossly misrepresented
conditions as to wages, quarters and
other details. He says that, more
over, throughout all his travels he
found but one exception and that was
in the good treatment received by his
countrymen from one gold mining
company in Sonora which employed
about 300 Of them. He spoke, as he
did here, of the success OF the small
Japanese colony at Esquintla, CHA
pas, as being very successful, the set
tiers not being laborers but rather
merchants and farmers and VINO mar
~ Mexican wives. The secretary
would not say whether or not he
would report these conditions to his
government. He admitted that prob
ably some of his people made their
way into the United States. He said
Governor Creel advised him not to be
discouraged over the prospect so
