THE ELECTRIC BATH CASE.

ment Mcdicinals

The preliminary hearing or Or" t.
Il. Heintz was commenced In Justice
McNinstor's court yesterday afternoon.
The defendant appeared ON time with
his attorney. Judge Powers. while W.
T. Gunter appeared for the State. The
case continues TO excite great deal OF
interest In the medical fraternity. some
Of the doctors holding that Heintz has
not praetlccd medicine. while others
believe otherwise. The defense took
tho position that Helntz did not prae-
tlce medicine but that his treatment
consisted merely In giving his subjects
electric baths for rheumatism.
The prosecution introduced several
witnesses 10. prove that the deiendnn,
had prescribed medicine To different
persons. A representative Of the Di-
rcctory company was called IN the
olfort 10 prove that Heintz had ndyer-
tlsed himself az q physician. A tropical
tilt arose between attorneys Gunter ana
Powers over o remark that the latter
made, when the directory representa-
tive had concluded his testimony. MIR,
Ounter attempted TO rebuke the Judge
for making the remark ana the latter
retorted that he would take no lecture
from the states attorney. Each then
accused the other OF insulting him,
Justice McMuster put an end 10 the at
fair by telling the excited attorneys 70
proceed with the case. Several phyFl-
Clans testified that they know u cases
that had been sent to Heintz by lead
ing physicians In this city. and 10 the
best Of their knowledge the defendant
WAS violating no law, The case was
submitted without argument. The at
torneys asked for time 10 submit their
briefs. Justice Mcharter. on motion oi
fudge Powers visited the rooms of Mr..
Helntz for the purpose OF examining
hts electrical apparatus. The case WIZ
probably be concluded tomorrow.

WAR MUST END FIRST.
The President viii Make No Recon.
mendations Concerning Philip
pines Until Insurrection Ceases.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-The president
will make no recommendation to con-
gress concerning the government or
disposition of the Philippines until the
instruction is ended. This positive
statement is made upon the authority
of member of the cabinet, who says
that until all armed opposition is re-
moved no serious consideration can be
given by congress to the important
question of providing for the future
of the people of those islands.
There are several influences at work
which will probably result in the is
lands remaining under American con-
troll for years to come. In the first
place, the president does not believe
nor do any of the members Of the Phil
ippine commission believe, that the peo-
pie of the Philippines are prepared at
present for an independent form of
government.
The Philippine situation from an adj
ministration standpoint can be brief
ly summarized as follows: The presi-
dent will make no recommendations I'M
til the instruction is suppressed. When
peace is restored he will recommend
that the future of the islands remain
undetermined until the people are edu-
Gated in self-government to qualify
them to express their preferences.

vAnDrRBnr's MILLIONS
How the Innense Fortune ef<tAe
Deceased CapitaIist Was DE-
vided By His Last Wlll.

New York, Oct. c7.-Under the will
of Cornelius Vanderbilt, as made, pub
lie, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt is made
the heir of the bulk of his fathers for
tune, estimated at $70,OOO,000. Young
Cornelius Vanderbilt is cut off with
a direct gift of 100000 and the income
from a trust fund of 81, 900 900, but, out
of the spirit of affection and for the
purpose of satisfying all of the mem
bers of the family, Alfred Gwynne Van
derbilt gives his brother Cornelius
enough of his inheritance to make his
fortune equal to that of the other mem
bers, namely, $7,5Oo,ooo. The distribu-
ton of the fortune, leaving out the gift
of $2,ooo,000 absolutely to Mrs. Van
derbilt, and after equalization by AL
fred's act, is approximately as follows:
Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, $S,sP,0oo;
Reginald c. Vanderbilt, $685. oo;. Gladys
Moore Vanderbilt s7,s75.000: Cornelius
Vanderbilt, $7,s75.000; relatives. friends and
servants, $656,000; churches and institu-
tions. $1,020.o0o.
New York, Oct. 49, Cornelius Wander
bilt has resigned his position with the
New York Central Railroad company
and will henceforth have no inter
course, socially or in business, with the
members of his family He bitterly re-
sents the implication that he is the
beneficiary of his brothers generosity.
He is equally emphatic in the state
ment that the settlement was forced
by him on the alternative of contest,
and that the $6,o0o,ooo added to his in
heritance was in no sense a gift, but
simply the price of noncontested will.
