In Serious Trouble in New YorH-Laying on
OF Hands Did Not Suffice.
New York, May S.-President Mich
ael c. Murphy, of the Board of Health,
ordered the arrest to-day OF Mrs. Maria
Miller, faith-cure healer, who is &C
cused of being responsible for the crit
ical condition in which Lille Kranz,
l2-year-old child, now is, as a result
of gangrene in the foot. The child was
first attended by a physician who said
the affected member would have to be
amputated. The parents refused to
consent to this and called in Mrs. Mil
Ter. who, it is alleged, said she could
cure the child by laying on of hands.
The patient grew rapidly worse under
this treatment and a physician was
again called in. He ordered the child
to a hospital where the left leg was
amputated, but the case had gone too
far and it is feared death will ensue.
A coroner's inquest into the death of
Mrs. Charlotte Barguet, who died of
dropsy in Mt. Vernon after treatment
by Christian Scientist, was begun to-
day

EXCHANGE.
AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS BEEN
NEEDED IN THE CITY.

Several of the leading men in the con-
tracing business in Butte have organ
lied what is known as the Silver Bow
Builders Exchange with offices in the
Beaver block, adjoining the Silver Bow
National bank, which promises to fill a
long felt want in this community. TIL
membership of the Exchange is limited
to those connected with the building
trades and the object of the organization
is to promote fair dealing etwee the
members and the parties from whom they
secure contracts. Already it has a men,
bership of 65, represented by five crafts,
the executive board of the Exchange be-
ing represented by two members of each
craft. The preamble to the bylaws of the
organization reads as follows:
THE Silver Bow Builders Exchange of
Butte is formed for the purpose of main
tanning suitable reading and exchange
rooms for the use of it's members in tran
sacting their individual business; to
make a membership in the Exchange a
reasonable assurance to the public of
skill, honorable dealing and responsible
ity.
"First-By requiring that those admit
ted to membership shall have a high
reputation on the above three fundamen-'
tai principles.
"Second-By making a continuance in
it's membership depend upon continued
honorable dealing between MEMBERS and
the public suing the member and to
the public giving to members and to
through the medium of the Exchange in
all cases of improper practice.
T promote mechanica and industrial
interests; to collect, preserve and dis
seminate valuable business information
and for other rpo conducive to the
interests of it's members"
I'VE are not banded together for any
selfish motives" said one of the leading
members of the organization today. 1--WE
aim to secure in the Exchange only re-
spOnsible men so that a card of member
ship in our organization will be a GER
tificate of good character and upright
ness in his particular line of business.
We do not propose to raise prices or tack
on additional percentages. The COM
petition will be as keen as ever. There
will be no combination. Each man will
bid for himself and therefore no preju-
dice should exist in the minds of the pub
lie as to our objects.
I'VE nave fitted up a splendid room.
with desks for those who ave no offices,
with private room for business meetings.;
a place in fact where the men connected
with the building trades can meet during
the day or evening and where they can
readily be found by those who need their
services. The crafts now represented are
as follows: Contracting brick and stone
masons, carpenters, plastercrs, plumbers
and heaters, painters and electricians.
Labor organizations will welcome the
new organization because it will always
be a ready means of adjusting the differ
ences that sometimes arise, and the or

tai answer until Monday is not an unrea-
sonable delay in reaching Il 9etermina-
non. Under the peculiar circumstances
OF tAe case, We think the matter touching
the bonds of the receiver should be passed
upon As speedily as possible and that the
deferrine- of that until Monday morning
is unreasonable delay and we will re-
quire a supplementary return tomorrow
afternoon at two o'clock for the court to
SHOW cause why he has not determinetifit.
we Will further require a supplementary
return as to what he has done with re-
gard to other matters on Tuesday morn
ing.
The conditions as we understand them
are that all of these motions have been
taken under advisement until Monday
morning. We do think that is unreason-
able so far as the motion to file the sup
plemented answer and the motion to dis
charge the receiver is concerned. We
nave therefore determined to require a
supplemental return tomorrow afternoon
at z O'Clock as to what he has lone on the
motlon to increase the receivers bond
and on Tuesday at 10 o'clock as to what
ne mas done with reference to the other
motions. We will continue further con-
sideration of this matter until the sup
Elemental returns come in"
william Wallace gave notice that he
would present an eXparte matter to the
court this afternoon in regard to the re-
ownership.

dwards was pronounced insane.

The mental condition of Christina Han
sem was also made the subject of injury.
Hansen is the woman who several weeks
ago claimed that a, man named Gelske
had stolen her three children IN Dead
wood and she was after them.
DR.. Sheerin testified that he had learned
that nine years ago she had lived with
Geiske in his city and bore him three
children. She had lived in Butte three
years and was, at the end of that time,
arrested on a charge of insanity. She was
sent away and remained about six years.
Since her return to Butte, which was
early in February, she had been looking
for her children. She thought they We're
IN a house in Arizona street, but WaS<lot
sure ard threatenedto write the president
of the United States and find out from
him where they were.
A Mrs. Sheehan, with whom Hansen
made her home for a while, stated that
she did not believe Hansen was insane;
that if her children We're returned to her
she would be all right. She was not a
bit dangerous.
Mrs. Hansen gave Denmark as her
place of birth. She said she had come
from Deadwood to Butte to see her child
rem and had worked her way The sheriff
at Deadwood, she said, had taken the
children from her, for what reason she
knew not. The eldest child was a girl of
Is years.
During the examination DR.. Bernheim
told her the story was unreasonable and
he would not believe it, but the patient
insisted on its truthfulnesS and added
that it was done at the instigation of
Geiskeis ~kidnapers.
Asked as to the identity of the father
of the children she said they had lone.
you either talk nonsense or you tell
lies" said DIT. Bernheim.
II don't tell lies she answered..
well, then you talk nonsense"
"a woman told me that two children
had been killed-their fingers cut off,
their teeth cut out and their bodies
thrown under the sidewalk and I thought
they might be mine," SAT- Hansen.
At the end of the investigation Hansen
was pronounced a moral degenerate, in
sane, but insanity not proven.
This meant her restoration to liberty.

February OF a charge of insanity, but
had been released. His last arrest had
occurred a week ago. Edwards, he said,
was Sc years ole, had lived in Montana
about twenty years, and when a young
man had been injured about the head.
His. peculiar hobby.seemed to be his rec
ignition by men whose wealth entitled
them to the name of greatness.
Mrs. Edwards, wife of the demented
man, stated that she and her husband
had been married between 40 and 30
years. Their marriage had taken place
in England. Some time in February her
husband had displayed signs of a disor-
dered mind. He complained in particular
about the smoke in Butte. He had re-
covered from the first attack, but about
a week ago he again showed signs of
returning disease of the brain.
The son-in-law of Edwards testified
that while the old man was in Jail he
him acting strangely. One one occasion
he was directing the course of a ship
giving orders. to imaginary anne
Witness had heard it said that the old
man had been injured on board an
English man-of-war while serving in the
navy of that country 40 years ago.
John Coppinger said he had known Ed
wards seven or eight years. They lived
side by side. Up until about February
Edward had acted all right. Then he
became boisterous and talked on various
subjects. He threatened to deliver Butte
from it's smelter smoke and allow the
fumes to kill half the people of the place
if they failed to meet his terms.
Edwards said he was born in Berkshire,
England, and had come to this country
with the natural current. He said he
was the wheel Of the current. Ee also
talked about w. A. Clark and Marcus
DAILY. and objected to people MAKING
heroes out of them.
Edwards was pronounced insane.
