Women Election Judges.

LEXINGTON, KY, September TIN.
der the new election laws of Kentucky
the county judges must appoint the
registration and election officers.
County Judge Bullock Of this city has
announced that he would appoint
women officers Of registration and of
election to conduct the women's part
Of the election for board Of education.
The new constitution Of Kentucky
provides for woman suffrage In electing
members Of these boards. The women
have to be registered the same as male
voters and have to vote In the same
manner, but as these boards are strictly
under the new constitu-
tion the women win not be recognized
as belonging TO any one political party.

THAT PRECIOUS NAVY.
SECRETARY HERBERT SAYS BE

The Peoples Money Being Hquandered
on Useless War Ships and Deadly
Ordnance.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-"Yes," said
Secretary Herbert to-day, sit is true
that have given orders that work on
vessels under construction for the navy
shall be expedited. The order en-
braces lot only the work on the navy
yard ships, but also the work on yes
sells being built under contract. All
have been urged to increased dill
gence."
Continuing, the secretary said "The
ships building in the navy yards have
been tagging for yesrs. For q long
time the delay was for want of srmor.
but armor is now being furnished
promptly. The Texas and the Maine,
the former Of which has just been put
in commission, and the latter, which
will be in a few days, really ought
to have been in service months ago.
Officials at navy yards naturally de-
sire to keep regular force steadily
employed, and the disposition is to
take workmen from the ships that are
building, and do repair work with them,
putting them back when the repair
work is completed. Not only have the
Texas and Maine been delayed by this
practice, but also the monitors, the
Terror, the Monadnock and the Puri
tan. All these ships ought to be now
in commission, and / have ordered
that they be pushed to completion.
Precisely the same reasons which have
operated to delay the building Of ships
at navy yards naturally influence con-
tractors. They are sometimes tempted
to neglect government work and use
part Of the force on the government
ships to do outside work as it comes in."
The secretary also said that he was
pushing along the manufacture Of ord
nance and all other work in progress
under his direction.

HYPN0TISM AND CRIME.
Interesting Comment on Most Important

interesting Comment on q Most Important
Subject.
New YORK, Sept. THE feature Of
the sessions of the international Med
iCo-Legal congress which closed yester-
day, was unquestionably the paper by
Clark Bell on "Hypnotism In the
Courts Of Law" He said that he had
sent a letter to several prominent ply
sicians, asking: "Can crime be COM
mitted by the hypnotic power, the sub.
ject being the unconscious and inno-
cent agent and instrumentS If the
subject is unconscious and even un-
willing, has the hypnotlzer such power
and domination over the hypnotized
as could control action to the extent Of
the commission Of crimeY Is It pos
sible to remove by hypnotic suggestion
from the mind Of the subject all mem.
ory Of acts or occurrences which hap.
pened In the hypnotic statep Would
it be possible for q hypnotizer TO so
control hypnotized subject as to, for
example, make him sign will In the
presence Of third persons, declare it to
be his viii, and request them to sign as
attesting witnesses and be afterwards
wholly unconscious Of the occurrence ?
Or note Of hand or check2"
Reports In the affirmative, DIR. Bell
said, were received from several emf.
nent professors, while others, conced-
ing that persons In q hypnotic state
were constantly smenable to control
by suggestion, denied that hypnotism
had any place In criminal jurispru-
dence as a defense for crime.
Mr.. Bell pointed out that itsppeared
that the majority Of medical men In
this country did not recognize hypnotic
trance as an existing fact. The law
yers and judges were on the same
ground as the doctors. In the courts
OF Europe the contrary was the fact
and men Of the highest character and
professional attsinments devoted their
best efforts to its study and eIucida-
tion. AS 1t was with professional men,
so it was with the people.
Prof. Carl Sextus Of Chicago wrote
to say that natural criminal could be
made to do criminal acts under hyp-
motto influences, but net G person of
real moral worth.
DR.. w. L. Howard, Of Baltimore,
said that hYpnotism was a reality. He
gave several instances of hypnotized
persons In Baltimore, including his
own servant, whom he sent to neigh
boring physicians laboratory to steal
everything the doctor had. He re.
stored the man while he had the ar
