The man's head and body ire trrri-

He waa dressed In working-man's

T'pon the bridge beneath the crosses

pot where Dr. Johnson waa thrown
from the hrldga waa found a pint bottle
partially rilled with whiskey. That the
Ilould contained other Ingredients than
whiskey Is believed by Arthur L. Flnley
who made an examination of the con
tents. Mr. Flnley believes the man took a
draught of the concoction and lumped to
the ground, 110 fet below. The man's
death was a plain case of suicide. Mr.
Flnley stated that he evidently was n
his way to work and. while In a despond
ent mootS, or undVr the influence of the
liquor, became temporarily deranged.
and acting on the Impulse of the mo
ment, flung himself over the railing.

spot where thla morning's suicide was

bridge and nearer the south bank. Mrs.
I. Lowengart Jumped to her death early
in the summer. '
The case today, contends Detective
John Price who waa detailed on the af

which waa advanced by the police In
the death of Dr. Johnson.
'Thla man today." said Price, "evi

the bridge Dr. Johnson fell from and
alighted on tha aame spot on the ground.
me case toaay was unqoujieaiy a case
of suicide. Had there been murder,
Morrow would have seen the murderers
on the bridge, or have heard sounds of
scuffling. This I thtnk beara out the
theory of suicide offered by the police,
for the death of Dr. Johnson."
However, there were not the silvers
of wood and bits of dirt in the clothing
of the man found this morning as there
were in the ciotning or ur. Johnson.
The Utters ooat and trousers were

'The Standard's big stick drove us

they must hare tha ratos lowered for
them and that ours must be raised, or
they (the Standard Oil company) would
build ships and start a transportation

New York, Oct. 7.--A bill Is to be
introduced at Albany this winter, it Is
learned, to put an end to "short selling"
In stock market. This measure which it
la understood, will have the support of
men influential in various large cor
porations, will mnke it obligatory upon
a man Helling stock on the stock ex
change to furnish to the buyers when
.the transaction occurs the numbers of
his share certificates and will thus pre
vent the operators from selling stock
which they do not own.
By the enforcement of this new law,
If enacted, it Is hoped to do away with

City. They have made their escape
from this place and tho chase here Is
not likely to develop anything further
than what has been shown.
Not a scrap of real evidence has been
found which will connect any individual
or any body of men with the crime. All
is conjecture and practically no progress
is being made. One thing, however,
augurs well for the men hunters. Every
one of them 'is sticking to the chase
with a dogged determination to catch
the fugitives if it takes a lifetime, and
they refuse to be discouraged by mis
takes or disappointments.
Manager Clouse of the Theil agency at
Portland has joined Captain Swain in
the chase and both are confident that
they will be able to land the men. They
realise that It will be a long chase, but
are not willing to abandon It until the
crime is fastened upon the guilty per
sons.
The theory which has connected the
Western Federation with the assassina
tion of Brown is that he was in the em
ploy of that organization ana was guilty
of double-dealing. But people here who
were closest to Brown during his life
refuse to credit this story, claiming that
such a course was entirely rorelgn to
his nature. They, on the other hand,
declare that the former sheriff had hun
dreds of bitter enemies and believe the
plot was made and executed by some
one of them. His bitter warfare against
a band of horse thieves and his unre
lenting prosecution of all evildoers dur
ing his term as sheriff are assigned as
possible reasons for his death. They
refuse to believe, however, that the local
saloon element ; is Implicated In the
crime.
