PORTLAND , Ore. , Jan. 10. The reorgani
sation committee of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company has completed a plan
for the reorganization of the company. This
infromatlon was given out by W. W. Cotton ,
general counsel ot the road , who has re
turned from New York , where he has been
in contcrence with Receiver McNcllI. Speak
ing of th ? reorganization , Mr. Cotton said !
"Tho proposed plan has received the ap
proval of the various committees having the
interest of the security holders In hand ;
-namely , the general reorganization commit
tee , the consolidated mortgage bondholders
committee , the collateral trust bondholders
commtttcce and the committee representing
the majority of the stock. The general re
organization committee now has deposited
with It a majority of the consolidated
mortgage bonds and a majority of the col
lateral trust bonds , while a majority of the
common stock of the company Is deposited
with the stockholders committee.
"Under the plan of reorganization and
depositing securities , holders not assenting to
the plans have a right to withdraw the se
curities deposited within ten days after the
announcement of the plan. If enough of the
securities remained in the hands ot the
general reorganization committee , the plan
would be carried out ns now adopted by the
committee , and Inasmuch as. the security
holders are largely represented In person by
agents upon the various committee ! ) , . It Is Im
probable that any of the depositing securi
ties will be withdrawn. "
Reorganization will probably bo effected
fccfore July 1.

CHICAGO , Jan. 10. The Western Passen
ger association hag a now row en Its
hands , and the chances are that It may prove
to he serious before the matter Is finally
die-posed of. For some time there has been
trouble between the Atchlson nnd Union
Pacific , Denver & Gulf over coal rates , and
the latter road , 09 a means of warfare , cut
the passenger rates from Denver to Pueblo ,
Cclrrado Springs and Trinidad about GO per
cent. The reducted rates were promptly
met. by the Denver- & Rio Grande , and this
afternoon the Atchlson , receiving word that
the Union Pacific , Denver & Gulf had stocked
the Denver brokers with tickets at the re
duced rate , promptly made a rate to equal
that made by the other two lines. The
fight will not affect the Atchlson nearly as
much as It will the Denver & Rio Grande ,
and the blow Is aimed at the former road.
Chairman Caldwcll will endeavor to pour oil
on the troubled waters tomorrow.
The meeting of the Western Passenger
aescclutlon finally adjourned today after con
sidering a number of small Items. The only
action of any Importance was the granting
of a rate of one faro for the round trip fcr
the meeting of the Baptist societies at Port-
laud , Ore. , next summer.

Vooto argued with the Southern Pacific at
torneys In opposition to the admission as
evidence of the testimony taken by the con-

argued that the testimony taken and re
ported by the congressional commission could
not bo considered as having any offic'al force
and standing until congress shall have taken
positive and affirmative action In the matter
Indorsing and approving the evidence In

Problem of Snliiniirlne Criift Sitld to
lie Solved.
The remarkable experiments made by M.
Ooub.'t from May , 1SS9 , to Juno , 1S91 , and
now crowned with success , seem to have
Indefinitely solved the problem of submarine
navigation , says the New York Herald. Com
mission after commission has been sent by
the. French government to Inspect this
minute ship , which Is submerged and pro
pelled several feet under water and after
a certain length of tlmo comes to the surface
at a given point and permits Its two passen
gers to disembark without having suffered
any Inconvenience.
The qualities ! which distinguish a submarine
vessel , and without which It would be use
less , are habltableness , security , rapidity of
Immersion and emergence , stability , Im
mobility at a given depth , a ready response
to the rudder , and the possibility of the
crow being able to maneuver from the In
terior of the boat.
For the first necessity , and. In fact , tbo
most essential of all viz. , habltablensss the
crew of the Goubet Is provided with air by
means ot compressed oxygen , which Is car
ried on the vesjl In steel tubrs , exhausted
under a normal pressure. In these condi
tions crew composed of three men could
exist In the Interior of a submerged vessel
for eight hours at least , and If necessary for
fifteen hours , without suffering any Incon
venience resulting from foul or rarlfied air.
Its ojfety has been assured by extra bal
last. Should an unforeseen accident occur
to the machinery , the ballast thrown over
board would right the baat and It would rise
to the surface like a piece of cork. The
weight of the Goubet Is so calculated that
armed , loaded and carrying Its crew it will
easily float , leaving but a small portion cf
Its upper shell and Its airtight dome visible- ,
which latter Is usul as a lookout a > ; it .glides
through the water. >
To submerge the boat Is sufficient to
augment its density , and the boat is fur
nished with Interior raservolrs for this pur
pose. A certain amount of water Is Intro
duced by mcana of suction and force pump ,
and this quantity can bo augumenUd or di
minished at will. To gink the boat , the- suc
tion pump draws in enough water for the
purpose ; while to bring the boat to the sur
face the force pump Is put in requisition.
The Goublet can sink or rise in a vertical posi
tion.
tion.Tho
The principal obstacle ro far to the pro
pelling of a submarine vssl has been Its
want ot stability. In fact , the equilibrium
of a boat once sunk has always seemed to
be at the mercy of the slightest displacement
in its Interior. Should the ballast slip to the
bow or stern , the boat is apt to tak ? a mor ?
or less marked inclination , which makes It
Impossible for a man to remain In It with
safety. Owing to Its mechanical construc
tion the Goubet rUcs or descends without In
clining to the bow or stern , and its- oscilla
tions never displace its horizontal petition
moro than five or six osnllnutcrs.
The Goubut sinks or mounts rapidly or
slowly- 'the pleasure of her crew- this
maneuver depending upon the rapidity with
which the density varies that Is to say , the
promptness with Which the water is forotd
into or out of the. reservlors furnished for
that purpose. To do this properly It Is only
necessary to work the pumps In such a man
lier that the water which enters or 'Is forced
out should in no sense surpass the corresponding
spending quantity of deniHlty required.
A small amount of power only is needed
when the boat is completely submerged. The
whole secret of managing the Goubet lies In
the variations of its specific weight ; once
submerged Its weight Is almost exactly equal
tn thn welcht nf the volume of water which
It displaces that is to say , Its weight Is noth
ing. It acts In tbo water as a piece of cot
ton acts in the air , tosse-d here and there at
the mercy of thi ; slightest Impulsion. This
explains why , with ono or two horse power ,
a swiftness of se/cn or eight knots may be
given to this mass of bronze , whoso weight
surpasses ten tons. This Is also why , tn com
ing in contact with an obstacle , U rebounds
like a rubber ball and does not lose its
shape.
The Goubet Is principally Intended to be
used In warfare. Two torpedoes are fastened
under the copper wings which are attached
to the hull. These torpedoes can be dis
charged by a very clever contrivance by the
person seated in the Interior. It is also pro
posed to attach n Heel rod to the vessel ,
working a pair of large shears with which to
cut the wires ot the enemy's torpedoes.
The Goubet can also be utlllzd In times of
peace for pearl and coral fishing , examining
sunken vessels , Inspecting breaks In a cable ,
damage to the foundations of lighthouses
and wharves , and , as some on : jocularly sug
gests , for. transportation of passengers
fearful of sea sickness , for at ten meters
under the surface of the water the motion of
the waves Is not felt at all.
In shape the Goubet Is round In the mid
dle and conical at both ends. It Is lighted In
teriorly by a number of portholes in the hull ,
which are airtight , by means of panes of
heavy glass thirty millimeters In thickness.
As It weighs but ten tons It can easily bo
transported on a railroad truck or between
decks of a man-of-war or packet boat.

I.lternry CurloNlty.
On the.cteamshlp Spree , which arrived a
few days ago , says the New York World ,
there waa Imported a thin llttlo volume of
nly eight pages , the appraised xalte of which
was $2,000. This is a Latin translation of a
letter written by Christopher Columbus , giv
ing a report ot his discovery of what he sup
posed to have been only some Islands off the
coast of India. Stephen Plannock , a printer ,
of Rome , struck oft a few copies of the trans
lation In 1493. Not all of these are now to
bo found ,
In the Barlow sale of Americana , at the
American Art galleries In 1889 , a copy of
the Plannock edition , Identical with the one
that came on the Spree , was sold to Brayton
Ives for $2,200.
There is a dispute among the authorities
as to whether or no the edition ot the Co
lumbian letter Is the flrst printed reproduc
tion. Mr. Eames of the Lenox library says
that no two authorities agree as to the pri
ority ot date of the publication of Columbus'
report.
Harrlssa stoutly maintains that this Plati-
nock edition Is the third appearance of the
letter , while R. H. Major ot the British mu
seum advances arguments , said to bo both
logical and weighty , to show that It Is the
flrst. Ellis , in the Huth catalogue , claims
that Major has proved his Impression to be
the first. John Russell Bartlett also placed
this particular edition first In the John Car
ter Brown library.
But , however much the antiquarians may
disagree among themselves , there is no
doubt as to the great value of the book ,
which is printed In clear type on heavy
paper. The dimensions of the pages are
7 1-10 Inches "full" by B 3-10. Some of the
leaves have a water mark , the device being
a pair of scales. If printed In the World tha
letter would occupy about a column and
two-thirds. _

LONDON , Jan. 10. The most Important
dcvelopmrnt In the South African situation
today Is the fact that In spite ot alt denials
U Is now believed In many quarUrs that
there Is BO mo truth In the rumors that Graat
Hrltaln has purchased Delagoi bay from
Portugal. H Is believed that an entirely now
complication woulil bo thrswn Into the situ
ation nnd It Is b.'llcved to be tha real reason
for the assembling of such a powerful DrltUh
fleet eft Portland Tuesday next. It Is believed
that the government of Transvaal has de
manded , among other things , that Great
IJrltaln forego her right to obtain possession
ot Uelagoa biy , and as many may look upon
this as a move which will seriously threaten
the future of tha Transvaal , the situation , if
the report Is true , will become more critical.
Kfforts are now being mad ? to obtain n con
firmation or a denial of the reported purchase
of Delagoa bay by Great Urltaln.
In the Transvaal Itrelf the ultlanders of the
Kami , numbering about 30,000 , moro or less ,
well armed men , have been given until C
o'clock this evening In which to dls-jrm , and
all those wht > do so , except the leaders of the
recent disturbance , will bo pardoned. Au
the ultlanders are surrounded by about 20,030
well armed Uosr ? , It may ba presumed that
the surrender will take place before the hour
prophesied ,
A dispatch from Pretoria this morning rays
the government ot Transvaal announces
that it la determined to foster mining and
that those Interested In It need not sacrifice
their holdings for the benefit cf the "agitating
clique"'of the Hand. This dispatch says that
only 10,000 Boers are under arms , but adds
significantly that they will not disband until
the conditions of the surrender of the ult-
landcro of the Hand have been fully carried
out.
GERMANY BACKING DOWN.
There docs not seem to bo any change In
the attitude of Germany toward Great IJrltaln
In regard to the Transvaal. The feeling ot
"oackdown Is still said to bo notlceabls In the
Gorman press utterances , and great Impor
tance Is nttachpd to.an .article In the Ham
burger Nachrlchten , which Is said to have
bean directly Inspired by Prince Bismarck ,
In which It Indirectly disapproves of the gov
ernment's attitude and adds : "Tho duty of
the government Is more to defend the Internal
and external 'peace of the'country against dis
turbances than , to promote foreign enter
prise. "
The Times this morning says : "Themain
point for England to remember Is that In
time of peace attempts have been made by
an ostensibly friendly power to Induce an
other friendly power to depart from its
nsutral policy in order to facilitate an attack
upon British Interests In South Africa. Great
Britain must also remember that unless the
whole German demonstration at Lorezo Mar-
quez Is to be the Illusory and ridiculous
character now afs'gned to It by the German
press , we must suppose that tluro was amore
moro or less settled determination to cross
Portugese territory even lii the face of a
Portuguese refusal. "
The Glob ; this afternoon raises an Im
portant question which may havbeconsldcr-
able bearing on the whole * situation. It is
suipected In well Informed clrclss that a
treaty was concluded In 1885 between Ger
many and the Transvaal and that th9 present
attitude ot Emperor William to\yard Great
Britain Is based upon the provisions of this
' ' " '
treaty "

The movement in favor of arbitrating the
Venezuelan question with the United States
Is growing day by day. The Westminster
Gazette after having Interviewed statesmen
of all parties , bankers and others having
Important Interests at stake , says this after
noon : "Everywhere there were enthusiastic
expressions In favor of the proposal to es
tablish a permanent court 01 arourauon.
From diplomats who haVe had recent inter
views with the foreign office , the Associated
press learns that there * Is a decided change of
sentiment there nnd that the unbending an
tagonism to arbitrate the Venezuelan
boundary dispute which was first shown In
high circles has almost completely disap
peared and that matters look much more sat
isfactory than they have at any time since
the dispute commenced.
PRESIDENT KIlUEGEn REPLIES.
As cabled to the Associated press yester
day , Mr. Joseph Chamberlain , secretary of
state for the colonies , sent a dispatch to
President Knjeger saying that he liad received
'
ceived the command of'the quen to acquaint
him with the fact that her majesty had heard
with satisfaction that ho had decided to
hand over Dr. Jameson and the other prison
ers to the British authorities , saying that this
act will redound to the president's credit
and honor and conduce to the peace , develop
ment and prosperity of South Africa.
President Kruegcr today sent the following
telegram , In reply , to Sir Hercules Robinson ,
the governor of Cape Colony , for transmission
to Mr. Chamberlain : After acknowledging
the receipt "of'the queen's message. President
Krueger says : "It is my Intention to hand
over the prisoners so that Dr. Jameson and
the British under him may be 'punished by
her majesty's government. I will make
known to your excellency my final decision
In the matter as soon as Johannesburg shall
have reverted to a condition of quietness and
order. In the meantime I request your ex
cellency to assure the queen ot my high ap
preciation of her words and In proffering my
respectful good wishes to express my thanks

vised no ojhff means of traveling so pleisant
when all IU.3 conditions are favorable , as In
an easy carr'Mfcet dmwn by such a team as
Indicated. ' A'3 ' railway train carries one
through flie jjountry too rapidly to fairly
enjoy the rccnery. One Is also subject tc
contract contsglous dlicascs In a car , and
to be annoyed by smoke , durt and clnd-rs
On a steamboat there Is usually n sameness
about one's surroundings there Is not much
but water cenery. Street cars are only
crowded ncc6sltl a But en a pleasint day
when the road. nro good , a proper vehicle
and a beautiful team of horses , matched In
slzt- , color and gait , answering Instantly
to the touch of the rein and freely trotting
elf eight or ten mile ? an hour over a beautiful
landscape , the person In heslth who cannot
enjoy it all must have- some mental defect In
his or her makeup. Passing varied land
scapes nnd different rural homesteads wltli
varying attractions , the pleature experienced
Is most exhilarating and enchanting.
Such a team as I havedc3cnbd ccsts a
great deal of money because the demand Is
but partially supplied. Scrubs seldom de
velop Into such a twrn , and they are usually
produced only by careful , InUlllgcnt breed
ing. The Cleveland bays and French coach
now furnish the best and handsomest car
riage horses. Occasionally flnc-boJIcd , llght-
llmbe : ? , Pcr.chetons make- grand carriage
horses. To breed , match and twin such car
riage horses successfully require men specially
qualified for the business ; men who love
horses , have studied their nnat.my , their gait ,
th.lr cirri ge 4hori , uglily ; who are cloM- . sharp
observers , gootl bargainers , truthful , reliable
and who have pcrfict commind over their
tempers. Such men may hope to make n
great deal of money by matching this class
of horsta whether Uiey. breed horses or not.
Such liorws' ahvnyc command the highest
prices among th ? affluent men of the cities ;
and the demand has never been fully sup
plied yet. It Is not a very uncommon tiling
for fi rich merchant , manufacturer , banker
01 * professional man to pay from $1.000 to
$2,500 for mich a carriage team as suits his
fancy. A Cuban horse dealer for several
yeans spent tola time In New York state pur
chasing such teams and shipping them to
Cuba , to be sold to wealthy pec ple there.
In conversing with him hi- said he did' ' not
want a team thdt cost lese than $1.600.
An ordinary fanner with such qualifications
as have been noted may , as on adjunct to
regular farming ; breed annually one or mor
teams that will command incr ? than com
mon prlcss froilt his townsmen , and oc
casionally he' may bo fortunate enough to
get hold of ono of the high-priced teams.
The great point Is to secure good breeding
mires , themselves well bred , good gradss ,
and then having them served by full-blooded
males. Although It helps sell a carrlagi
team to b ? full-liloo Is , yet this Is rarely
expected. Half or iniartor bloods , and even
Itof no recbgnlzed breeding , a team will
bo not mucht-cbjcctcd to If the animals are
about right in all other respects. WhlU n
few pjoplcj have decided tastes as to the
color of horsesas a rule there Is little
objection tft any. color except white or light
gray and r * ? \ > lpck that will fad ? . Cubans
object to any : black horse , for Its coat will
fade In thftjhot sunshine of that climate.
A "coal-black-'ntEam Is admired by some
here , but It is thardly advisable to expend
much efforttq match such , expecting a

As it Is fmpiifed of seine women that they
leave the mostilmportant part , of their let
ters for tlier-PQRts.criptso. , Ihave IfXt tha
peal , object of .this communication to Its
closing paragraph "for consideration. I de
signed to suggest to" the young farmer who
fancies horses' to make a study ot them
with a view of profit Jn bringing about
matched teams for marlfet. If he can
rals- some colts of his own. , , all the bUr
tcr , but success can be reached without.
A matched work team , If young and sound ,
will sell for more than If not motched.
The first thing for the- young 'man to do
Is to' got a work on the anatomy1 of the
horse , and study It carefully , so he can name
Every bone , muscle and all other parts. This
to be followed with other books oh breeds
ana Drcrmng , training , lecaing , diseases
and their treatment , etc. Let examination
of horses go' on dally , or at cv ry oppor
tunity , with the study of them. He will
need to carry only ono Implement with him
during his study , and that Is a tape lln ? to
take various .measurements of the. horses ho
txamlncs. His first , and I may say main
object , Is to become so expert that he can
tell whether or not two horses will match
when he sees them apart , but not together.
Do this , and his fortune is assured. It can
bi done , but wtio knows a person possessing
this skill ? It requires a keen eye , pene
trating Judgment and cducate'd observation.
The man who purchased that famous seal-
brown team , for President Cleveland could
do It , and so could a man I knew who got
rich matching horses and selling them to the
Cuban referred to' heretofore. Unless a per
son could tejl whether horses will" match
by seeing them separate , ho labors under
several disadvantages. If ho hears of a horse
fifty miles away which somebody thinks
will match ono ho has they must be. got
together to decide. When together , If they
match , how quick the price of the other
horse will go up , for its owner knows that
as a match It could bo sold for twice , as
much as to bo sold singly , and he will want
a share In the profits. Matching without
getting the animals together is the acme
of horse art. There arc scores and scores of
points to bo considered besides , like color ,
equal height , weight , length , step , move
ment , carriage , markings and disposition.
A man purchased a carriage team which
seemed to matQ.h In every respect , but rid
ing behind themi he had mot noticed that
ono carried his nose out nnd the other ip.
which was readily discerned by any ono
passing at the side. This spoiled the team
for htm , and he sold It at a large discount.
If horses have white markings , as ot feet
or face , thcso markings must be alike. Three
white feet on one and two on the other
wilt not answer. There must not be but a
trifle variation here or with markings In
the face. But horses of solid color are most
In favor and the easiest matched.

"So-called scientific detective work ha
been brought Into ridicule by the mcden
novelists , who make their detective lie roc
Co Impossible things , but I nm firmly con
vlnccd that many mysterious crimes couli
be exposed by a proper use of modern science
In connection with practical work of Investl
gallon and detection , " said a retired No\\
York deUctlve who has studied crime am
criminals for more than twenty years to a
correspondent of the Globe-Democrat.
"Science lias made wonderful progres3 In
recent years In disclosing the apparent mys
tery ot human omUIona nnJ human actions
and I have long been convinced that many
murders and other mysterious crimes are the
outcome of a permanent or temporary mcnta
Idiosyncrasy , and are therefore" snsceptlblo o :
solution by other methods than thosw usually
employed In the catching of thieves and pro
fesslcnal criminals. I know that great crimes
have been committed by persons who were
unaware ot their actions at the time. Ii
such cases the Irjnoranco of the criminal that
ho has committed a crime Is his beat protec
tion against discovery , and that fact alone Is
often sufficient tobafllo the bst : delectlve
skill.
"Many years ago I was aeulgned to a murder -
dor ciu-3 which was a great mystery at the
time , but attracted very little attention be-
ciuso the victim was a man of no Importance
and had no friends. Siegfried llrauman , an
old German cabinet maker , was found dead
In hU room In an East Side lodging IIOUEM
one day. II ? had been beaten to death With
a hammer or som blunt Instrument while
he lay asleep In bed. His head was crushed
In three or four places , and his faoa was
badly mangled.
"llrauman lived alone In a small room on
the third floor of a chrap lodging house.
He was very poor , and as ho was not linowr
to have any enemies , there was no apparenl
motive for the crime. The ono window ol
tlia room he had occupied oprned on an an
tiquated flre escape which led to a narrow
curt between two buildings , and aP the door
of his room was locked en the Inside It was
evident that the murderer had climbed the
lire escape and entered through the window.
The victim had evidently been knocked eens'-
IEDJ , If not killed , by the first blow , and had
died without making a struggle or outcry.
Nothing In the room had been disturbed ,
showing that robbery was not the motive of
the crime.
"I examined the window very carefully
after learning that It was clcyld when the
liody was discovered. I found that It was
not fattened In any way , and could be opened
from the flre escape on the outside. The
hurl flvldonHv rrnt intn the rcom
that way and , going out , had carefully closed
the window behind him.
"Not ono nrtlcl ? In the room had beer
moved , so far as I could discover. Thr
flute of the dead man. an instrument of
which ho was very fond and on which he
was In the habit of playing for bouts uvciy
night , lay on a table close by the old ? cJ
the bJ. I searched the room , the house
the flro escipo and the court below for twc
dayn without finding the slightest , clew tr
the murderer. Then I tracad the movementr
of the dead man aa beat I could from the time
ho had landed in thin country , some sever
years before , up to the day before his death
with no better result. He had worked most
of the time In tha same shop , where ho wai
known as a iquletlnoffenslvo , fellow , , bu
vcry > - resarvod.nHohad no. Intimate friends
and very few acquaintances.
"In the house where h ? had lodged to
three years ho was known by lght to al
the other 'lodgers ' , but that wao about all
they did know of him , except that he otter
kept them awake at night by playing on hit
flute. That was th < only thing : to his dis
credit they knew , and some of them cvci.
went BO far as to suggest that the flute playIng -
Ing might. . In some way be responsible foi
his death. I did not attach much im
portance to that suggestion , for I did not
Sel | vo that any one In the neighborhood
would carry his objection to the flute to the
extent of committing murder.
A DISCOURAGING CASE.
"Tho upshot of It all was that I was finally
compo'.led to report that I had made no
progress on the case , and I was then as
signed to other work. The murder was
quickly forgotten by the public , but when 1
waa not otherwlss engaged I continued to
Work on the case at Intervals. I was deeplj
nterested in the mystery of the affair and
felt that If I could discover a motive for the
crlmo I might inlrno bo able to find the
murdoreJ.
"Tho room occupied by Brauman had been
, eft undisturbed by the landlord while awalt-
ng Instructions from his relatives in Gor-
nany as to the disposition of his few ef-
lectg. The dead man had ; paid two months'
ent in advance and the landlord could there-
'ore afford this consideration.
"About a month after I was taken off the
ca.03 officially I called at the lodging house
ono night and was met by the landlord , who
was very much excited. He told mo that
the room where the murder had been com
mitted was haunted and that many of his
odgera wore Having on that account. I
aughed at hla story , but he assured me that
t was no laughing matter. Tno ghost of
, ho old cabinet-maker had returned , ho cald ,
and was playing the flute In the room every
night. H < ? had heard the sound of the flute
ilmself. all his lodgers had heard It , and a
nan living in the next housa had once looked1
hrough the window late at night and saw a
white-robed figure silting by the bed playing
ow , weird music on the Instrument.
"I asked the landlord It he had watched
ho haunted room at night and he assured
no that ho would not enter it after darker
or the world. Then I proposed to hire the
oem of him and occupy It until I discovered
he ghost or frightened It nwoy. The land-
ord warned mo that I had better not try It ,
mt when ho realized that I was In earnest
10 gave mo the key.
"It was after 10 o'clock at night when I
vent up to the room and let myself In. The
place waa very much the same as when I
M d last seen it , except that all the blood-
talned bed clothing had been removed ,
'hero was no light 'except the faint rays
hat came from the windows of the next
louse , and that was barely enough to enable
mo to distinguish one object from another
n the place. I sat down and waited until
fter midnight , but the ghost did not oomo.
'hen I lay down on the sldo of Jho bed ,
rd , being very tired , I finally fell arfeep
nd did not dwako until morning.
"No flute playing was heard that night
nd the landlord looked much relieved when
went down stairs. The next night I was
n hand before bed time and again occupied
bo haunted room. This time I determined
o keep awake , and I did.
"Shortly before midnight I lay down on
ho edge ot the bed , but kept my eyes fixed
n the window. I had been lying down
ess than halt an hour when a shadow dark-
ned the window. Watching it closely I
nado out the form of a man on the flro
scape outsldo and then I could see a fass
ressed against the glass. For a full mlnuto
ho man did not move. Then I heard him
lowly wising the lower sash of the window.
"I had taken off my overcoat when I lay
down and wnen I saw that the man on
he fire scape was going to enter the room
quickly decided on a plan of action. As
quickly and quietly as possible I arranged
my coat and hat so that In the seml-chrltnesa
bey would closely resemble the outline of a
man lying on the bed. Then I quietly slipped
ver behind1 the bed and crouching on the
cor I drew my revolver and awaited do-
elcpments.
"I did not have long to wait. Dy the time
was out of tha bed my midnight visitor
md the window open. Then , without a
moment's hesitation , bo stepped Inilde the
com. There was a light burning In a room
n the next building that was on a level
vith the window and by Us rays I could
watch every movement of my visitor. Doing
n the shadow of the bed myself , I knew ho
culd not Bfo mo.
"Once inside the room the Intruder paused
or a moment as if listening Intently. Then
with quick , firm strides he walked to the
nlde ot the bed. I w him bend over ns It
trying to make imro that It nny ono w In
the bed they wore neleop. Then I saw him
draw from beneath his coit what looked
lo bo a heavy hummer with a short handle.
He swung this over his he-id and brought
It down on my hat with terrific forcp.
"Then I knew 1 was looking at n panto-
mlmo of the murder of Slgfrlcd llrauman ,
and I at once ( inspected that the- man across
the bed from me was the real murd'rer ,
"Again and again , the I'llent , grim , shad
owy form swung his hammer aloft nnd
brought It down on th ? bed. Any ono of
the blows would have killed a man. At last
ho appeared to b > satisfied that his work
was finished , and then quietly put the ham
mer In tils pocket. The man then turned
luck toward the open window , and I was
about to spring forward and seize him from
behind when ho changed his mind and
turned back tounnl ths bod.
"Tho table , on which still lay the flute
of the dead man , ttood a pace to the right
of the bed. The murderous Intruder to my
surprise turned to this table , and , picking
Up the ( lilts , sat down on the sldo ot the
bed and began to phy. I could sco his
fingers rising and falling on the keys , and
there floated out on the- stilt night air the
( trains , of some ancient Gorman ballad. The
mystorlous performer played It through to
th ? oml , then played two ether short piece ? ,
after which he laid the Instrument back
on ths tible , and again turned toward the
window.
"My first Impulse wai to overpower him
then and thorp , but there- was something
so mysterious and uncanny In the whole
business that I decided to let the man go
out as he had come In , and then follow.
mm ,
"He had left the window open when he
entered , and now stepped out on the flre
escape without a moment'i' hesitation. Thtn
the man turned and closed the window be
hind him , and started climbing down to
ward the narrow court as silently as a
shadow. Ik fore he waa half way down I
had opened the window and was following
him. When ho reached the ground he did
not pause cr look up , but walked straight
down the court between the two houses ,
turned to the left , and , opening a door 1
the Imemc-nt of the next house , dlsappsarc
Into.tho darkness.
"He did not fatten thp door behind him
and in a moinant ! had followed h'ni Into th
bwriicnt. It was so dark In there I couli
rot see my man , but I could hear the soilnc
cf his foot falls , and followed them , II
walked straight ahead to Die front of th
building , then turning to ttio right ho pushei
opsn a deer and entered. A flood of llgh
boame-d forth when this Ooor was opened
and , cresplng forward quickly , I MW tha
It opened- Into aEmail bedroom , furnlshet
with a cot , a table and a tew chairs. A
lamp was burning on the table.
SOMNAMBULISM.
"I got up v.'hfro I could see Into the room
In time to see the man throw himself on the
couch. Then he turned his face up to th
I'ght , and I saw tor the first time , that th
man was fast asleep. His eyes were tightly
closed. To make sure that I was not mis
taken I crept Into the room and touchct
the fellow on the 'shoulder. He- ' stirred un
easily , but did not awake- , and then I knew
that what I had sesn had been the worl
of a man walking In his sleep.
"I returned to the room In the lodging
house by the- way I had come , and , putting
on my coat and what was left of my hat , :
hurried down to the office , where I fcum
the landlord pacing up and down In grea
excitement. Ho had heard the sound of the
flute-playing , and was much alarmed for
my safety. I assured him that I had locatec
the ghost , and that he would not be troubled
again.
"uomg to Headquarters , I reported wnn
I had so n , but my story sounded so 1m-
prcbablo that the captain In charge- wanted
to know If I was not walking in mj sleep
mywlf. He finally decided to send a man
with me to arrest ths mysterious sleep
walker.
-"Feeling sure that my man would not es
cape , I waited until daylight to arrest him.
Then I discovered that the man I was after
was a sho3maker , who had a small shop in
the basement of the houre next door to the
scene of th ? murder ot nrauman. He slept
n a little room back of his shop , and this
room was directly under that formerly oc
cupied by the murdered man.
"When.I arrested th ? .shoemaker * on the
charge , nf , rnurder h ? was greally surprised ,
ftnd protested his Innocence."He mado"no
resistance , and went quietly to headquarters ,
where ho was questioned at length. He ad
mitted that hs had bejn greatly annoyed
by the flut-playlng of Brautran , and many
lights had been unable to sleep on account
of It , but , said that he had never even made
a protest.
"While the prisoner was. apparently very
frank and straightforward in his answers , I
saw that he was ot an exceedingly nervous
cmperament , and in a little while he began
to show signs of excitement , under the
steady flre of questions. I did not tell him
tow It happened that he was suspected , but
asked him If he could play a flute. Hu
said that he had never had such an Instru
ment in his hands in his life.
"While the chief continued to ply him with
questions , I left the room , and , going to n
nuslc store near by , found a young man
who could play on the flute. I took this man
lack with mo headquarters , and stationed
ilm outstdci the door of the room In which
he prisoner was detained. I had arranged
vith him that he was to begin to play on
Us Instrument at a certain signal.
"When I entered the room I found the
prisoner still very nervous and excited. In
i few moments I gave the signal to the
lute player , and hu started playing the
lotes of 'a simple German ballad. The effect
on the prisoner war. magical. He clinched
its hands , his face became distorted , and ,
eaplng from his seat , he glared about the
oem like a maniac. Then ho reached down
o the floor as If to pick up his hammer ,
and began creeping toward the door througn
which came the sound ot the fluto.
"The experiment had gone- far enough , and
signalled to the player to stop. In a
moment the manner ot the prisoner changed
gain , and he stared about him In a dazrcl
lelplcss way. like a man Just awakened out
f a sound sleep.
"Dy this timeI was fully convinced that
he prisoner had murdered nrauman , but
hat he was Innocent of a crime , beciuso
10 had killed him while asleep. The sound
f the flute had so worked on his nerves
nd brain that he was not responsible for
vhat he had done. It was all very clear
o me , but how to get the facts before a
ourt and Jury was another matter.
"We had the prisoner committed for fur-
her Investigation , and before the time set
or his examination hu had become a rav-
ng maniac. Ho was committed to an asy-
um , and died there a few years later. "

Harrison takes the trouble to deny emphat
