NEW REVELATIONS
AS BRAY INQUIRY
DRAWS TO An END
Lawyers Announce That Only
Two More Meetings Will Be
Necessary to Finish.

Records of the building department,
the testimony of John Austin. former
superintendent of buildings, and of
Lumber Company, played prominent
parts in the probe into the official con-
duct of Alderman James A. Bray, con-
Quoted last night by a special commit
tee of the Common Council appointed
for that purpose. The investigation
has dragged out for several months.
but both Louis Hood, the counsel for
the committee, n Louis j. Beers,
counsel for Bray, agreed last night that
two more meetings of the committee
would probably be sufficient tn finish
up the business.
Mr.. Hood, after bringing out some IN
teresting and important testimony at a
meeting last night of the special COM
mittee of Common Council that has
been probing the Fourteenth Warder's
record. said, as counse for the commit
tee, that he would be through as soon
as he had been able to examine two
more witnesses. Martin Haussling, in
whose automobile Aldermen Bray rode
from the Greisenheim to the City Hall
on the night OF May 4, when he Is al
| legged to have been in haste to keep a
date made with him by telephone on a
pretext to pay him for his vote in the
committee on stationery and supplies,
and James M. Seymour, the promoter
of the Block Light Company. Bray's
name figured in rumors concerning a
sudden change of position by several
Aldermen in regard to the franchise
asked for by the Block Light Company
in 1907.
Mr.. Beers said that he would
be able to complete his case in
two more committee sittings, so it
was agreed that there should be
meetings on Monday and Tuesday
nights of next week. Chairman Charles
II. G~affeney. of the special committee,
said that all attempts to serve Martin
Haussling with a subpoena had been
futile. as had been efforts to subpoena
some five others who had been wanted
earlier In the investigation. He thought
that something should be done to force
the Bray automobilist to attend.
For the committee membership Al
dermen Michael J.. MCGOWAN, jr., John
r. Sinnott and others were certain that
any move made to force the appear
ance of witnesses would be supported
by Chairman Gaffeney's associates
When Mr.. Gaffeney suggested thai
Prosecutors Detective Teed might be
used to serve the subpoenas there was
a rustic In the Council chamber. Mr.
Hood said that he had employed Teet
to assist him in the work, but solely
as a constable of Essex County, not a.
a prosecutors detective and that HI
wasn't to be called upon for polic'
work.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
The Way the Captain of a Slave
Trader Was Convicted.

Romance writer's are often blamed
for making the plots of their stories
turn upon slight chances and improba-
bic incidents, but here is an incident
in real life stranger than fiction.
In 1859 the cutter Sparrow brought
the brig Nancy into harbor at Kings
ton, Jamaica. under suspicion that she
was engaged in the slave trade. But,
although many circumstances pointed
to this fact. no clear proof could be
obtained, as the brig had no papers
from which the charge could be sub
stantiated. The suspected vessel was
therefore discharged, but the day be-
fore she left the harbor a man-of-
war arrived, bringing some documents
that clearly proved her guilt.
These papers had been obtained in
a ''highly improbable manner" While
cruising off the coast of Santo Domin-
go the crew of the man-of-war had
amused themselves by fishing for
sharks. One monster was captured
and cut up on deck, and in it's stom-
ach was found a bundle of ships
papers, the very documents flung over
board by the captain of the Nancy
when he was boarded by the Sparrow.
Curiosity led the captain of the man
of-war to clean and examine the
papers. and the result was that he
brought them before the authorities a.
the nearest port The unlucky brig
was condemned on this Economically
acquired evidence. - st. Paul Pioneer

The novel life belt of a Hamburg

of the belt permits Il person to keep

The dulcitone of Thomas Maohell
Of Glasgow has the keyboard of a
piano, but the key hammers produce
sound by striking steel forks-like
shankless tuning forks-instead of
wires. A semicircular steel spring
carries the vibrations from each fork
to the sounding board. The tone is
softer than that of the piano, but 1t
has great olearness aGd carrying
power, and is adapted tor solo play
other instruments or the voice. I'm
portant advantages are the lack of
necessity of tuning and the porta-
bility. A dulcitone of octaves
weighs but Do pounds, but piano OF
the same range has weight of 25C
pounds or more.

VAGARIEs OF WEIGHT.
How Can a Pound Of Food Make One
Three Pounds Hesvier7

Here are two personal experiences
Of my own that are equally striking.
After having put on rather too much
weight, probably through excess and
)ther mistakes of food and drink, l
played a severe tennis match and lost
seven pounds in weight. Then l took
glass of wine ua1 at once by this
put on two pounds. Then 1 took a
meal slightly larger than usual and
put on another two and half pounds,
though the meal itself weighed only
one pound.
On another occasion when / had
TASTED for a day or two and had natu-
rally lost two or three pounds a day
l ate a meal weighing about one pound
and went up in weight not one pound
but three pounds.
How can only one pound in food
add three pounds in weight?
How, in the case Of other people
can three pounds-a days food and
drink-add nothing at all?
In my own case one principle ap-
pears, and this is that my nature is
at any rate rapid in getting toward the
normal, but comparatively slow in get
ding far below or far above the nor

phenomenon is that Of the shampooel

SQUELCHED
Is Socialist Who Moves Ex-
pulsion of Spain's
Ambassador.


London, Oct. 19--The anti-Spansh
sentiment following the Ferrer execu-
ton caused a fiery and unpleasant
nalf hour in the house of commons
today but an attempt by Victor
Grayson, a Socialist member, to move
for the expulsion of Spain's embas-
sador from London was squelched by
the speaker. The labor and socialist
forces began movement of protest
against the killing of the motion but
they were quickly silenced by the
majority.
Arthur Henderson, labor leader,
opened the discussion by questioning
the foreign secretary on England's
attitude toward the Ferrer incident.
The secretary responded That the gov
ernment at no time was in possession
of special information regarding the
Ferrer case and that the proper poll
cy of non-interest with international
affairs of a foreign country had been
followed.
