I holding- If uulorl. The Judge's order wa Issued In response to the request of Charlee Weir, foreman of the grand Jury. who complained that reporters had been questioning- the witnesses before they were called to the stand, and had been anticipating- the testimony adduced by tlio Inquisitor. The moat Important testimony In connection with the explosion was ad duced at the Coroner's Inquest, which was continued today. Two telegraph ers who had worked in the telegraph editor's room of the Times until a few moments before the crash declared that free Has In almost overpowering volume had been detected by them Just prior to the explosion. At the same time witnesses before the irrand Jury declared that there was no odor of gas. Trace of Succcts Lot. Samuel U Brown, chief detective of the District Attorney's office, who re turned yesterday from San Francisco, aid today lie would be a witness be fore the stand Jury Wednesday, the day to which the Inquisitorial body ad journed after the two sessions held today. He said that Earl Rogers, who also will be one of the principal wit nesses to connect the alleged con spirators. Schmidt. Bryre and Caplan. with the actual commission of the crime, would arrive tomorrow. Rogers, he added, had secured serv ice of summons on 36 witnesses In San Francisco. Seven of these are women, among them one or two hotel tele phone operators, and the rest wore wrappers of dynamite (ticks employed at the works of the Giant Powder Company. Brown completed today a brief which he asserted covered InVnlnutest detail and without a break the move ments ot Schmidt. Bryce and Caplan from August 1 to October X. Since that time, said Brown, the detectives have not been able Jo trace the steps of the alleged dynamite conspirators, but be added that he believed they were In San Francisco. Labor Leader to Be Called. Jacob Herri man. an attorney who has acted for the labor unions In various rases growing out of the activ ity of pickets In recent strikes here, said this afternoon that several msm nf the labor committee which re ported Friday that the explosion was the result of the leak'ng gas. would be placed on the stand before the Coro ner's Jury. The men who testified to the (pres ence of gas In the Times building be fore the explosion were William Q. Furrr.an and James Farley, telegraph operators, who had worked up to a few minutes before the explosion in the telegraph department of the news paper. Both denied statements at tributed to them that the building had been wrecked by a gas explosion, but they asserted that everybody la the telegram room had smelled gas and had remarked upon It- They told the Jurymen that this statement had cost eat-h one his position. A score or more of witnesses, all employes of the Times, who were at work when the explosion occurred, were present when the grand Jury re convened. Among them was Arthur Ball, a linotype operator, who declared tnat if gas In quantity sufficient to have caused an explosion had escaped from a defective main some typeset Ing machines would have been put out of commission. Cm Theory Itefnted. "We never did have all the gas we wsntrd for the machines." said Ball. "Whenever the pressure lessened to the sllchtest extent we always noticed It and I am certain that If there had been any leak of gas the machines would have shown It long before an explosion could have occurred." Witness Leonard said the explosion sounded like several giant firecrackers going off at the same time. FIGHT IN KANSAS HOT rrtlnqed Vrora Firvt Page.) baok to Washington, where the forecasts ef the Congressional elections have been made up. Their publication In Kansas has aroused standpatters, who now de clare they will openly support the Demo cratic stjite ticket and throw their votes In other districts to Democratic Congres sional candidates. Sixth DlMrtct right On. The Sixth District will elect a Demo crat to Conarress by from 1006 to 150S majority. The flaht there Is between I l. Toung. Insurgent Krpubllcan, and Frank Rockefeller, progressive Nrno crat. Republicans who have visited that district a.imlt that the chances are against Young, while the Demo cratic leaders claim a majority for '(ockefeller of SO. Rockefeller Is very popular. He is a farmer and stock raiser, and has been busy for two months traveling over the district, meeting and shaking hands with the farmers. He Is a cousin of John D. Rockefeller, but be saye be doesn't know much about bis New Tork cousin, as he baa visited htm but twice dur ing the yast S years. The contests In the other Congres sional districts are warming up, and In the Second and Fifth, especially where both Republican and Democratic candi dates are progressive, there Is some doubt as to the result. In the Fifth District, where Congressman Calder head. one of the ablest of .the Kanaaa standpatters, waa beaten for reaomlaa tion by Judge K R. Heca. Insurgent, a redhot debate Is now In progress be tween the latter and his Democratic op ponent, O. T. Helveiing. The tariff and Cannonlsm form the basis of the arguraenta Helvertng asks Reee whom he will support for speak erCannon or Champ Clark? Reee re plica that he will do everything he pos sibly eaa to defeat Cannon at the Re publican caucus, but, that If Cannon Is the eaucoa nominee, and the caucua Is run en the square, then be will vote for ROM JURY R M Cannon on the floor of the House, rather than Champ Clark. Roes asks Helvertng If be believes, as Champ Clark does, that thi country should have absolute free trade, and that the custom-houses should be torn down? Helvertng replies that he Is In favor of free trade on the necessities of life and a high tariff on luxuries. Rees says that is practically what the Republicans have advocated for years and tells his oppo nent to Join the party that believes In that doctrine. Helvertng declares that he will vole for Champ Clark for Speaker and Rees counters with the proposition that Champ Clark la Just as bad as Can non. If not worse. Bees declares he will vote for Taft If he Is renominated. Big Silent Tote Expected. If the politicians of both psrtles knew what the great silent vote In Kansas will do In Nocember it would be easier to forecast the result. The lack of Inter est In this campaign Is disturbing all of them. There probably will not be more than 300.XO votes polled, and It Is safe to say that one-third of these have refused to attend meetings or to give any expres sion as to their political Intention The great majority of these silent voters live on the farms, and when they visit the towns to do their trading they decline to engage in political discussions. They ase both Democrats and Repub licans and they are a sufficient force to turn the election to either party. If their silence means that they are satis fled with conditions Nationally and In the state. Governor Stubbe and the whole Republican state and Congressional tick ets will be elected by 40.000 majority. But If their alienee means that they are dis satisfied with the tariff legislation given to the country by the Republican party, and they express that dissatisfaction at the polls. Governor Stuhbs will be defeat ed and Kansas will eerjd three and possi bly five Democrats to Congress. BOMB SUSPECT THIEF? OXE THOVGHT TO BE ABSCOND ING BANK TELLER.

BEAT PREVIOUS RECORDS (Continued From First Pge. 4:8.204 for the same period last year. Increase In bank clearings was an other feature of the month's record. The gross bank clearings, closed at noon yesterday, were $48, 344. 099.35, ex ceeding the total business of October. 190. by $7,415,481.1 4, or an Increase of 1S.17 per rent. The monthly balances reached $4,840,110.44, compared with $3,585,184.71 for October last year. Last Day's Clearings ty ,84s, 748.5 The clearings for the last day of the month were $1,349,748.51. The volume of bank clearings haa shown a steady growth In the last few weeks, with the result that Portland has been near the top of the Hat ot the cities ot the coun try In percentage Increases. Export trade for the month was brisk, exceeding tUSOO.tX". The largest Item waa lumber, followed by grain and flour. Foreign and coastwise shipments of lum ber kept up their normal strength but the movement of rough and building lum ber eastward was comparatively small because of the mT.ey depression apd shutting down of building operations In the Middle West, where the market for Oregon lumber is usually good. Grain and flour shipments made a fair showing during the month. Shipments) from this time on will be expected to Increase rapidly, however, as the farmers ot the Interior are beginning to dispose of their holdings. Portland Gets Bulk of Crop.. The bulk of the crop will come direct ly to Portland and before the year closes) the annual shipping output will no doubt far exceed that of the previous year. The lumber exports for the month rep resented an aggregate measurement of 11.611.4? feet, an Increase of 1.690.868 feet ror the same period laat year. GAIN IS GREAT IN LUMBER October Exceeds Former Period and Season Leads Heavily. October's lumber exports exceeded those of the same period In 1909 by 1.(90.158 feet, and the combined move ment was greater by 8:6.868 feet. For the first quarter of the cereal year 4.03,w4- leet ot lumber baa been floated, overshadowing 'last season by 80.985.091 feet. For the month ending yesterday there was floated for offshore ports lumber on five carriers aggregating 11.611.476 feet, valued at $134,464. In October of laat year the movement rep resented a combined measurement of 1.8:0.618 feet. Coastwise business last month reached 7.760.000 feet, against 8.614,000 feet In October, 1909, a loss of 854.000 feet, but with the Increase in exports, the depreciation Is offset. However, 13 coastwise carriers cleared, which has been about the average for aeveral months, because some of the craft entered here from California, that usually load back with lumber, have been ordered to Northern harbors, where large contracts were made. In view of the fact that local mills are not cutting as much as dur ing the Summer, because some ehlfts have been discontinued and others shortened, the showing for the month was better than expected. In the offshore fleet the Oriental llnnr Henrlk Ibsen, clearing October 11 for Hongkong and way ports, had aboard 108,581 feet of lumber, valued at $11116. the British steamer Btrath yre, clearing October 13 for Sydney, loaded 1.396.630 feet, worth J.70. and, the big British tramp. Knight of the Garter, carrying the world's record cargo of 5.000.000 feet, valued at $55,000, cleared October 14 for Shanghai. The British steamer Redhill filed her mani fest October IB, heading for Yoko hama with 654,700 feet, valued at 17890. the British tramp Iran bein the last of the fleet, clearing Octob.-r 2 with 3.349,565 feet, valued at $27,238.

LOST IN WEIGHT, FELT SMOTHERED, HEART AFFECTED Characteristic Anaemia Symptomi in the Case of This Salt Lake Gty Woman Who Was Cured by the Tonic Treatment To keep losing in health and strength whhe money and effort is constantly being spent on treatment ia calculated to brine discouragement even to the 'most hopeful. That sufferers from anaemic and debilitated-conditions are brought to the verge of despair when there ia a remedy exactly suited for their treatment is a pathetic fact as is shown by the experience ol Miss Ellen Mattls, of No. 232' West Fifth South street, Salt Lake City, Utah, who relates) her experience gladly in the hope that others will be helped by if She aJ,: ''I was all ran down, was thin and bloodless and had no color whatever. Two doctors treated me but did not help me that I could see. I kept losing in flesh and weight. I had severe palpita tions of the heart ana otten naa to gasp for breath for ft seemed that I was being smothered, my heart would beat so fast. I had no appetite and the least exertion tired me all out. I became discouraged with taking so much medicine. Then my mother heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and urged me to try them. I felt some improvement from the first box and as 1 continued to use them my strength and wnicht increased and mv color returned. I became real healthy again and I shall always speak highly of the remedy." Thin blood is the most frequent causa of debility. As the supply oi blood sent to the brain does not carry sufficient nourishment the patient is dull and drowsy, the nerres become starved and there are marked nervous symptoms. As the blood and nerves control digestion the stomach suffers from lack of tone and the victim loses weight and strength. Whenever a tonic is needed. Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills should be given an Im mediate trial. They quickly enrich the blood and give strength and health to every part of the body. For this reason they have cured anaemia, chlorosis, rheu matism, lumbago, general debility and the after-effects of the grip and fevers. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold byaU draggiste. or will die sent, postpaid, on receipt of price; 60 cents per box; six boxes for 12.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. IRRIGATION IS TOPIC Lafferty Makes- Campaign in Eastern Oregon Towns. REMEDIAL BILL PROPOSED Candidate for Representative In Favor of Measure to" Give Ore- . gon Its Just Share of Rec m at ion Fund. SHANTKO, Or.. Oct 81. (Special.)' A. W. Lafferty, Republican nominee for Rep resentative In Congress, returned here tonight from a two days' automobile trip through the Deschutes country. He vis ited the towns of Antelope,-Hay Creek, PrinevlUe, Bend, Redmond, O'Nell, La monta and Madras. Mr. Lafferty made It a point to Investi gate the progress of Irrigation and set tlement of the vast "patches ot land along the lines of the new Hill and Harrtman road now building Into the interior of Oregon. ..Tonight Mr. Lafferty said: -The development of Eastern Oregon the next few years will be phenomenal. After a thorough tour of every county In the district I am convinced that no greater irrigation possibilities exist any where than along the Deschutes, Uma tilla, John Day, Malheur, Wallowa, Sil vers and Blltzer . rivers. "Proper development of the feasible projects along these lines would benefit every county In Eastern Oregon and would sdd greatly to the population of the state and to the commerce of Port land. The. action of the Reclamation Bureau In spending in other states dur ing the past eight years the enormous sura of I5.3SO.000, yielded to the fund by the sale of Oregon lands, cannot be de fended from any point of view. "My remedy Is to get a bill through the next Congress providing that In the fu ture expenditure of tha Irrigation fund any state that has yielded more than it has received shall have a preference un til reimbursed and that thereafter the money yielded by any state shall be spent within that state so long sa it has lands capable of being Irrigated. Such a bill would be fair and It will pass." Mr. Lafferty will leave tomorrow morn ins for The Dalles and Hood River and will arrive In Portland Thursday to spend the closing days of the campaign In Multnomah County.
