Hope to Ascertain Guilt Of
Accused Man.
USE ELECTROCARDIOGRAPA.
Prisoner Caught Through Confession
Made by Ally When He Thought
Death Was Near--Crime Fourteen
Years Old-Beiieve instrument Will
Tell True Story of Killing.

Omaha, Neb.-As the result Of con-
fession made by another man on what
he supposed was to be his deathbed
Charles Kotf of Vallejo, Cal, is to be
brought back to Nebraska and tried
for the murder of Julian Buhuard, a
miner, of Julian, Neb., fourteen years
ago. On charge of being implicated
I'm the same crime Fuller Shellenberger
of Burlington, Kan, also will be tried,
the prosecution being based on the con
fession, made when he thought he was
dying, last July after being prostrated
by heat.
In questioning Kotf about the muir
der the authorities will use a very deli
cate instrument known as the electro
cardiograph, which records on a mo
ton picture film the electric impulse
generated by the human heart under
the stress of emotions. Evidence thus
recorded would not be admitted during
a trial Of a person for murder, but the
record will be valuable for scientific
reasons
There are only five electrocardio-
graphs In America, four being In the
east and the one to be used on Kotf
being at the University Of Nebraska
The instrument records the hearts
fluctuations through a fiber so delicate
Ii cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The movement of the fiber is therefore
passed through small telescope, and
by the aid of an electric arc lamp Its
shadow is recorded on the film. The
instrument was invented by Professor
Einthoven of Leyden, Holland.
According to Shellenberger's confess
sion, Buhuard kept his money In tin
can, which was cut open with a hatch
ct after the aged miner had been slain.
In removing the money from the can,
Shellenberger says, Kotf cut one of
his hands so badly on the jagged tin
that scar was left and may be seen
today. In examining Kotf the au-
thoritles will show him a can like the
one described by Shellenberger and
without letting him know Shellenber-
ger has made a confession will refer to
things of which Shellenberger spoke
concerning the crime. Scientists say
he may be able to control his facial ex-
preston and appear perfectly calm,
but that the electrocardiograph never
theless will record the telltale varia-
tions In the beating of his heart as he
hears or looks upon things associated
with the murder.
Shellenberger has repudiated his con
fession, saying he was delirious when
he made it. He is In Nebraska jail,
however, and must face trial. Kotf
has been employed at the Mare Island
navy yard at San Francisco for the
last nine years. After Shellenberger
confessed detectives took up Kotf's
trail and arrested him.

FOR GENEROUS RIVALRY
IN GAME OF COMMERCE
J.. w. Gerard Compares Business
Competition of Germany and
America With Olympic Contest.

HAMBURG. November 2s.-James w.
Gerard, United States ambassador to Ger
many, was the principal speaker at the
Thanksgiving dinner given yesterday by
the American colony here. He compared
the inevitable business rivalry Of the
United States and Germany with the con-
tests of the Olympic games. Il hope.
he said, that the business men will take
their conflicts in sporting spirit and be
generous rivals in the greatest and best
Of all games-namely. commerce.
On Common Ground.
THE cities of Hamburg and those of
the United States meet on common
ground in their devotion to business and
in their high esteem of the ideals Of busi-
ness life. Some people have charged the
Americans with mere dollar chasing. But
no nation wholly devoted to such chase
would choose as its President and prin-
cipal cabinet minister men with such high
ideals as President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan. No wholly selfish nation could
be SO desirous of having Germany par
ticipate in the Panama-Pacific exposi-
tion at San Francisco and thus point
out new openings for European trade.
Business Ideals.
Nowhere in the world have there been
higher business ideals than in Hamburg
nor greater courage and perseverance in
building city between a sandy waste
and stormy sea and establishing there
a commerce which is known and honored
throughout the world

OF the senate. Maj. George T. Langhorne.
