HOW SCIENCE DETECTS LIARS.

When man is telling lie he breathes differently from he Is telling the truth The difference discovered by made upon his students by Prof Benussi of Graz.
 He prepared cards bearing letters, figures and diagrams and distributed these among his pupils These required describe the cards correctly except certain when the cards marked with red sar and the students rceveng them were required describe them falsely Each student watched carefully by his fellows, who ignorant of the of the card tried to judge from his manner whether he was teino the truth The watchers unable to judge with any certainty
 Under direction of Prof Benussi the time occupied in inspiration and expiration measured and the measurement was taken again immediately after he finished It found that the of false statement always diminished the quoten obtained by dividing the time of inspiration by the time of expiration
 Dr. Anton Rose commenting these results remarks that the discovery furnishes certain criterion between truth and fasehOod For even clever liar is likely fail in attempt escape detection by breathing reguary.

RAILROAD HEAD IS
 A WILSON BOOSTER
Robert s. LoVett of Union Pacific
 Believes in President

New York, Oct. 9.-Robert $. Lov- cit, head of the Union Pacific railroad system, being asked yesterday for a statement of his attitude in the pres- idential campaign, prepared the fol- lowing:
 Notwithstanding his action in the eight-hour day controversy, I am for Wilson. That was a mistake and serious one. But we all make mis- takes. Men must be judged by the average of achievement-not by one act out of many which go to make up a notable career. My firm convic- tion is that Wilson has more really great achievements to his credit than most presidents who have preceded him.
 "I am not prepared to believe that business men are lacking in appre- citation of what he has done for bus mess. True, he has not taken us back to the days of Mark Hanna, to which some seem to think we will return if he is defeated. But he has given us business peace and an open field for fair fight. He has substituted the law as a rule of conduct for "gov- ernment by executive order' and pres- idential favoritism; and the "unde- SlTdDl0 C1LlZSu lldS 1ldu CllC Sca1lAO show as the most influential group or the biggest campaign contributor. No special dispensations to form trusts have been granted. and it has not been necessary to consult the White House, rather than counsel, be- fore doing business. The statutes, and not the presidential feelings or state of mind, have been our guide. And these have been administered even- ly impartially, justly, without strain ing to harass and persecute, and, ex- cept the New Haven case, without any suspicion of being in obedience to public clamor.
 "Contrast this with the administra- tions of his recent predecessors, when business men were hunted as big game and the presidential choice be- tween the good trusts and the bad trusts rather than the law, was the rule and guide. There are business men in this town now criticislng Will son in glittering generalities who, under previous administrations, did not know how long they would be out of jail, try as hard as they could to obey the law. We have had none of this under Wilson. Each has gone his way without any fear of persecu- tion-with only the law for his guide. Friend and foe have been treated alike"

DEFENDS AMERICA
Former Austro- Hungarian Ambassa- dor Says We Are Not Blinded by Money Gained Through War.

Berlin, Oct. 9.-By wireless to Sayville-The view that the United States desires the continuance of the war for the sake of business is a mistaken one, declared Baron von Hengelmuller, former Austro-Hun- garian ambassador to the United States, in an interview in the Buda- pest Journal, as quoted in a Vienna dispatch to the Overseas News Agency. He was convinced of this. he said, as his twenty years residence in America had shown him that no na- ton was more likely to be moved by sentiment
 The former ambassador expressed regret at the vacancy existing in the Washington embassy, which was due to certain obstacles. A new ambas- sador, he pointed out, could travel to his post only under a British safe conduct, which was incompatible with the dignity of the official. He thought that if the United States really de- sired to have the am mbassador reach that country in a manner corres- bonding to the dignity of his position some other way could be found.
 As to the election in America Baron von Hengelmuller said:
 Whoever becomes president the policy of the United States will hard ly be changed

AMERICANS NOT DESERTED
Admiral Mayo Declares 5000 Were Taken Out of Tampico Without Loss of Life or Property.

Admiral H. T. Mayos own story of the so-called "Tampico incident" re- garding which it has been charged by republicans that American citizens were deserted in Mexico and their property destroyed, was made public yesterday through the democratic na- tional committee in the form of an interview with Admiral Mayo, by George Creel, writer. MT. Creel also interviewed Admiral Fletcher on what happened at Vera Cruz. Admiral Mayo was in command of the Ameri- entire ''incident' centered around hlm.
 Tt is misrepresentation" he said, ito say that American citizens in Tampico were deserted in an hour of imminent danger. It is distorting facts to say that Americans, robbed of the protection of their own flag, were forced to seek refuge under the colors of a foreign power. It is not true that the Tampico affair was marked by gross bungling. The fact that close to 5000 Americans were taken out of the city, without loss of life or destruction of property is result that ought to speak for itself. I have no iterest in parties or political controversies, but I have a very deep interest in the honor of the United States, the pride of the American navy. It is this honor and this pride that I am glad to defend against as p2rsion and mtsrepresentation.'

 As moving picture operators we nave no fear of an election--a fair and Just election-with time enough for the fullest discussion by both sides. We do not propose to have any set of men force snap judgment on the question If we can prevent 1t.
 If they will withdraw their pett- tion and agree to hold the election fairly on the day of the general cleo ton, we will withdraw our applica- tion for a permanent injunction and present the case squarely to the voters.
 We do not believe It is morally wrong to have motion pictures on Sun day. On the contrary. we believe that in 50 doing we are contributing to the sum total of human happiness and We believe a majority of the people in this community think as we do.
 We concede to every one the right to think differently. Let us have a fair election and join issue on the question: '

 MORE IS INVOLVED
 More is involved than the immediate destinies of Mexico and the relations of the United States with a distressed and distracted people All America looks on. Test is now being made of us whether we be sincere lovers of popular liberty or not and are indeed to be trusted to respect national sov- ereignty among our weaker neigh bors. We have undertaken these many years to play big brother to the re- publics of this hemisphere. This is the day of our test whether we mean, or have ever meant. to play that part for our own benefit wholly or also for theirs. Upon the outcome of that test Ots outcome in their minds. not in ours) depends every relationship of the United States with Latin America whether in politics or in commerce and enterprise. These are great issues and lie at the heart of the gravest tasks of the future, tasks both economic and political and very intimately in wrought with many of the most vital of the new issues of the politics of the world. The republics of America have in the last three years been drawing together in a new spirit of accommo- dation, mutual understanding, and cor dial cooperation. Much of the politics of the world in the years to come will depend upon their relationships with one another. It is a barren and pro- vincial statesmanship that loses sight of such things!
 FUTURE HAS PROBLEMS
 The future, the immediate future, will bring us squarely face to face with many great and exacting prob lems which will search us through and through whether we be able and ready to play the part in the world that we mean to play.
