person being ex- burg.
amined. A pencil is graspsd lightly in
the fingers, the point of the pencil Just
reaching smooth sheet of paper,
which records the Involuntary writ
ings of the suspect. 1t has been learn
ed that the arm muscles and finger
muscles thus used constantly witch
under the stress of any passing emo
ton. Tests upon different persons
have disclosed the fact that the same
general outline is made by any person,
under the stress Of the same emotion.
Another instrument more delicate in
construction, called the pneumograph,
records the normal breathing and any
variation III breathing caused by an
emotional suggestion. The recording
is done electrically and in another
room far removed from the suspect.
The effect Of emotional stress upon the
rate Of breathing is a matter Of COM
mon knowledge. Still another device
called the sphygmagraph, is attached
to the wrist and records the action of
the heart beats. 1t Is said to be the
surest of all, as the heart is the most
sensitive and the least Influenced by

BOMB FOR FORMER SHERIFF
ATTEMPT RESEMBLES sTEUNEN.
BERG ASSASSINATION.
Victim Of Dynamite Outrage Was a
Foe to Saloon Men and
Gamblers.

Baker City, Ore, Oct. Am at.
tempt was made at 1920 o'clock Mon
day night to assassinate ex-Sheritf.
Harvey K. Brown at his home in this
city by blowing him up with a dynar
mite bomb. Mr.. Brown is at the hos
pital in critical condition. One OF
his legs was blown off, one of his arms
was badly mutilated and he suffered
besides internal injuries caused by
the conclusion. The outrage was SIM
liar in manner of execution to that
which resulted in the death of ex-
Gov. Frank Steunenberg at Caldwell,
Idaho.
Mr.. Brown was returning home, and
as he opened the gate the bomb ex-
ploded, wounding him and blowing in
the windows of his house. The explo-
sion was heard in the center of the
town half a mile away.
The chief of police and county au-
thorities are wholly unable to find any
cause for the deed, and they are also
unable to obtain any Chew to the per-
petrators of it.
Portland, Ore, Oct. IA special
from Baker City says: 'Ex-Sheriff
Brown, who was dynamited Monday
night, had just returned from trip
out of town to some mining property.
He was found lying on the sidewalk
several feet from the gate, the gate
| posts were found blown to pieces and
the fence was shattered for some dis
lance. The perpetrators left no trace
of their deed except<a wire which ex-
tended about 25 feet north along the
feuce and then went west about 30
feet to the middle of the road.
1t is presumed that the assassin or
| assassins were lying in wait for Mr..
Brown and pulled the wire as he en-
tered the gate.
Immediately after the explosion a
neighbor of Mr.. Brown heard some
men running north from the direction
/ of the Brown house. 1t is thought
that the sheriff had some idea Of the
| identity of the men who perpetrated
\ the outrage, for he was heard to NUT
ter just before lapsing into uncon-
ness: They have laid for me and they
| got me-
Mr.. Brown became unconscious a
few moments later and said nothing
that would give any clew to the iden-
| tity of the assassins.
Mrs. Brown>is Frustrated by the
shock and the physicians fear she will
not recover. AS sheriff of Baker coun-
| ty, Mr.. Brown was diijgent in enforc.
| ing the law against saloon men and
/ gamblers.

merce commission report for the year
ending June 80, 1906, shows the par
value Of outstanding railway capital
to be $14,570,121,1 7s, or $67, $3.50 per

this report that over one-third Of this

AS to the lumber trade, he denied that
there is a trust and insists that the

Rising Tide of immigration.
The coming report of Frank P. Sar-
gent, commissioner general Of immi-
grafton, will show that the total num-
Der of immigrants admitted during the
year ended June 80 was over 1,400, 900,
or 100000 in excess Of the number that
came during the preceding year. Mr..
Sargent does not agree with some
members Of the congress immigration
commission that undesirable immi-
grants come from particular localities,
such as Italy, Syria and Asia Minor.
He says that our need of laborers ne
cessitates our taking such nationals
ties as come, and It is impossible to
exclude all the Hunchaklsts and Black
Hand people who come in with the
others. but we must have laws which
will us far as possible exclude such
persons from the country. Regarding
the diversion of the tide of immigra-
ton Mr.. Sargent says that 1t is I'M
possible to divert the growing influx
into such a place as New York In a
day or year, although gradually the
tide is turning to the south, the south
west and the northwest, and 1t Is only
a question of time when foreigners
| will learn that they can do better In
smaller places than in the big cities.
Railway Army Of 1,521,3 1856.
The statistics compiled by the inter.
state commerce commission for the

the number Of persons on the payrolls

wages and salaries paid to employees
during the year was 5000, 801, 659. The
4 number of railway corporations was
2,313 and the-total single track mileage

by receivers.
To curtaiI Copper Production.
The officers of the Amalgamated Cop

is brought about by the fact that thu

little demand in the market. It wa,

the action Of the Amalgamated would
be followed by several of the othel

GRAND JURY PROBES
A TENTH DYNAMITE EXPLOSION
Is OUTLAWS ANSWER TO
THREAT OF LAW.
CHIcAGo's MYSTERY
is YET UNSOLVED
Blast Occurs Near the Saloon of an
Ex-Alderman, Who Testified Be-
fore Investigating Body-GambIer
o'Leary May Face Penitentiary.

Chicago, Oct. 2.-Detectives from
Capt. O'Brien's and Assistant Chief
Schuettler's Office who have been de-
tailed to investigate the mysterious
dynamite explosions of the past three
months turned their attention Tues
day to the latest of the bomb out
RACES which occurred near the saloon
of ex-Ald. John A. Rogers, West Madi-
son and May streets Monday night
The explosion, coming directly after
Rogers had testified before the grand
Jury in the gambling probe, startled the
police officials, who assert that they
are without any clews which will lead
to a cessation Of the outrages.
Explosion Heard for Mile.
The latest bomb explosion occurred
shortly after 1880 p. m. The ex-
plosive was placed on the roof of the
May Electric company, So May street,
next door to the saloon, and was set
off evidently with time fuse. Po-
liceman Edward O'Brien of the Des-
PLANES street station, who was stand
ing at May street and Washington
boulevard, noticed the fuse spluttering
and thought the building was on fire.
AS he ran toward the place the ex-
plosion, which was heard for mile,
took place. No windows were shat
tered by the defamation and Rogers,
who returned to his saloon few mo-
ments later, treated the affair as a
Joke.
Detective to Testify To-Day.
Important evidence providing COM
prehensive view of the gambling stu
alton as it is alleged to exist in Chi
cago was laid before the grand jury
by States Attorney Healy. This is
known in spite Of the fact that each
OF the five witnesses examined at the
afternoon session of the inquisition re-
fused, on stepping from the grand
jury room to disclose what had been
the nature of his testimony. To-day
Mr.. Healy planned to place before the
grand jurors the stories of his detec-
tives, Joseph Kinder, James Bell and
Thomas McAuliffe.
AS result of the disclosures cur
rent comment around the criminal
court building busted itself with specu-
lation as to who would be indicted.
o'Leary Still Open, It Is Said.
James O'Leary, the stock yards gam
bier, stands in perilous position. If
he is indicted and convicted this time
it will be his third conviction, involv-
ing penitentiary sentence. He was
said to be operating his poolroom yes
terday, despite the fact that the grand
jury scare had closed all others. He
operated it as usual, it is said, except
that he moved around the corner to
the second floor over Nick Bayer's sa-
loon, 846 West Forty second street,
and 200 placed their bets on the races.
Whether any police officials would
be indicted for affording alleged pro-
lection to gamblers was considered a
question. The jury is going deep for
an explanation of the police inactivity
and States Attorney Healy intimated
last night that some members of the
police force may be subpoenaed.
