MRS. JEAN MORRIS ELLIS visited Albert Oleman. the Columbia Coun ty boy murderer, yesterday utter noon In the Multnomah County Jail. Mrs. Ellis Is i graduate of th N'ew York School of Phrenology and has written character sketches of President I too.-. - veil, Hearst, Bryan and other men promi- m. in public life. She has lectured throughout the United States and Canada for tlie last 15 years. Mrs. Jllla was dented the privilege or taking measure- menis of the youthful criminal's head, but after her extended interview with the she dieu8Sd the case from a phreno-luKk-al viewpoint in the following terms: "instead of a brutal degenerate I found a boy of a sensitive, highly strung or ganlzatlon. with a fair dearee of Intellect lut an abnormal excitability. Both are Indicated tn the form of the face, the nana ana the heal. Not being allowed to take any measurements. It is impossible to siv a detailed scientific summing up of his character. He has a lara-e develop ment ot destructlveness, and owing to that fact, lU that his head U low In the moral region, he Is one who should lia-e been mow t erefu rcl gently nurtured. Injustice or oppression would instantly arouse in him an uncontrollable ilwslre for retaliation. The domestic quali- lies- are deficient, as indicated in the formation o the back head, aud there fore the mere home Instinct would be weak and. he would rebel naturally against domestic authority. "He Is not necessarily a criminal, In spite of a number of degenerate signs. The enlarged published picture of the lad's eves and ears presents a monstrosi ty. That picture presents an oblique coarseness of the ears, while one of the eyes Is portrayed as being higher than the other. The photograph is a gross exaggeration of the orisrinal. The boy ha- undoubtedly Inherited, if hts parent age were thoroughly understood, a lack Of moral responsibility and self-control. His destructlveness would not necessarily have brought him to this terrible pasti had he been understood and these traits ot character 6o prominent In tilm guided into paths of executiveness rather-than mere dontructlveness. The eye of the boy does Indicate a strong: possibility of in sanity ana could the head measurements have been procured the formation thers would undoubtedly have shown the cause for the expression and the formation of the eye. "Such a character is not always HCCCS- Sarlly the result of generations of crim inality, hut may he and often 1s the re sult of parental Influence, r,r30iilJy- where the mother is on the verge of physical coiiapsp, m such a case there is often a passionate mental protest against new burdens and an abnormal action of the destructive forces. Could such mothers realize that a sivins way at such time to a resentful state of mind may endow the Unborn child with a criminal nature, they would- practice " moral self-control and thus avert such disaster as this pathetic case presents. - - "Those who see this lad wonder at his calmness, but this condition is often pres ent in criminals of this type. Such a boy is infinitely more dangerous to society than as though he were of a coarser Quality and possessed of less menUl en- downrnent and planning: power. These give him the ability to hide under a calm exterior a seething volcano of resentment against the forces around him. This hoy Is as truly a victim of disease as though he were afflicted with smallpox or other maliKnant complaint. "Society must safeguard itself against Fiich individuals, but those who under- stand will hail the day when such cases are treated from a dispassionate, scientiric and humantarian standpoint, and crimin als are treated as Intelligently as insane patients are at this time. Much as we may pity his victim, the sight of this little fair-haired boy in a felon's cell can but arouse thin King- people to the grave necessity tor a better understanding of. criminal stigma and especially a study of prt ventlve methods of training when there is a possibility of overcoming; t ire tendency."

OSTEOPATHS ARE AMAZED BY FEATS OF "HUMAN RATTLE BOX' Ellis Whitman, Who Dislocates Sis Bibs or Makes Stomach Dis appear with Equal Ease, Performs in Portland. 1TH his double ball-bearing Joints and lndiarubber muscles and ligaments, Ellis Whitman, who styles himself the "human rattlebox." demonstrated many methods of eettlng dislocations to the Oregon osteopathic Association last night at Us meeting in Dr.' Rosrers office in the Marquam build ing. He did stunts with his income bearing construction that staggered even the proiession, and nearly paralyzed a reporter who happened in just as he was removing his liver from under his collar bone. He does fancy spiral and hij dis locations of every known style and period, and throws the bones of his shoul ders into a remarkable imitation of new- ly-fledged angel wings. Just for the fun of the thing (to the professional delight of the doctors and to the Horror of the erstwhile brave re- porter the 4ihum4in rattlebox' gave a few twists of the body, made several faces, and lo ! the poor Indian had no stomach or abdomen. Where did it go? "Well, that wafl what every one was try. Ing to find out. and when one of the doc tors put the Question to the human skele ton which stood in the middle of the floor with protrvding rite and his spinal COh umn showing in front like the proverbial hmiRry man, ho made wild gesticulations indicating that he rouhJ not telle on ac- cuujJt of the presence ot the missing stomach in his thorax. Fortunately he swallowed it again before he got ceasjclt, and all .breathed a sigh of relief. His next hairsplitting demonstration was to drop his beating heart down into the pit of his stomach, and while his went down, those of tie spectators Im mediately jumped up into their throats. There was no question about the organ being where he indicated, for 1 1 pulsa tions were plainly visible and the doctors could feel it on examination. Whitman exhibited a letter from Dr. Le Juran. a celebrated Paris physician, testifying: that he had examined this location under the X-ray and found It not misrepresented in any particular, That this demonstrator Is a human fre&ic there Is no denying, but hts marvel ous control - over every joint in hie body has proven ot great value to medical men and osteopaths all over the world. He is not only able to unjolnt any bone, but to do It in the various ways possible, and can demonstrate the different meth- ods of setting tlie dislocations. Practice ot this kind Is of far greater value to the profession than working on skele tons or occasional patients. Me appenrs only before medical bodies, and has, trav- eicd ail over the world m tills capacity. He came to Oregon to appear before the state meetinar of the Oregon osteopM.ths. whtrh will le held next wk, and will in all probability slve demonstrations be- fore the medical profession of Portland. Whitman was discovered by Dr. James C. De Costa, Sr.. the celebrated Phila delphia aurgeon: who -was the author of several textbooks on surgery. " De. Costa took him abroad and was o Interested In the boy's peculiar construction that he purchased hla body and -paid $H50 for It, thinking he could not live many years. But Whitman is still strong and well, lias reached his 22d year, and spent tha ftioney for which he Sold his body, while Dr. De Oosta is dead. Whitman regards this a srreat Joke. He is of Jewish birth and has been practicing1 bone and joint dislocations ever since he was 7 years old. "I was born In New York." he said. "In fact. I am a Bowery prodigy." Diamond Fin for Ft S. Drake. K. S. Drake was last night presented with a handsome diamond pin from about 40 at the employes of the Portland Rail- way Company, who surprised him at his home at East Nineteenth and Broadway streets. Mr. Drake was sriperintendent of construction of the Portland Railway Company until last month and recently he was offered and accepted the position of chief engineer of the Willamette Trac tion Company. Those who save him the Sift were either heads of departments or worked under him when he was with the street railway company. Death or G. E. Eberle. G. XL Eberle. Ph. G., a former resident of Portland, died December 30 at The Dalies from tuberculosis of the lungs and heart trouble.

His remains were buried January 2 at Vancouver, wash., from the Episcopal Cnurch, Mr, Eberle came to Portland from New Tork, where hifl parents live. 6i 77 9 Humphreys Seventy- Seven Cures Colds and (SHIP t A new kind of Grip is prevalent.
