ST. JOHN, N. B.. Oct 1.-THE old 10y
a!lst city of st. John was in gala attire

dress of welcome was read by Mayor

in fine clear voice, which was heard in
all parts of the great building. The con-
secration of the new colorS presented by
the duke to the Sixty-second fusiliers, by
the right reverend bishop of Fredericton,
was a most impressive ceremony.
His royal highness referred to the depu-
tation from Boston in the following
terms: 81 am glad to find from the kind
words of the address from the British So
cieties and residents of Boston that.
though they have transferred their homes
to foreign land, their hearts still beat

IN SUPREME COURT
CASE INVOLVING RIGHT OF con-
GRESS TO SUPPRESS LOTT
Terry BUSINESS
IS OF FAR-REAcHING IMPORT
Involves Not Only Lottery Question,
but General Regulation of
Interstate Commerce
as Well.

WASHINGTON, Oct 17.-Argument
was concluded today before the supreme
court of the United States in the well
known lottery cases. Constitutional
questions of exceptional Importance are
involved. The precise question is the
power of congress to forbid the convey
ance of lottery matter from state to
state through such agencies as express
companies. After lottery matter was eX-
Guided from the mails the lottery COM
panies utilized the express companies in
the conveyance of their tickets
Congress, i'll 1895, passed a law to forbid
this and it's power to do this as a regula-
ton of commerce is the question involved
In the present argument The question
has been three times before the court
On the first occasion it was argued for
the express companies by James c. Car
ter, of the New York bar, but decision
was reached upon other grounds The
present cases were argued last spring
and the court ordered a reargument.
The cases come from Chicago and Gin
c1nnat1, and in both instances the con-
stltutionality of the act was sustained
On Wednesday William d. Guthrie, of
the New York bar, and Judge Outcalt. of
Cincinnati, argued for the appellants, and
yesterday Assistant Attorney General
Beck made his oral argument in behalf
o. the government Ex-senator George
f. Edmunds TO-DAY replied in behalf of
the appellants, and the case was taken
under advisement. The question is be-
heved to be of exceptional Importance
not only because it affects the power to
suppress lotteries but also because the
exact nature of the constitutional power
to regulate commerce is directly in ques-
ton.

HYPNOTIC CONTROL
EXERCISED BY THE JACKSONS
OVER THEIR DELUDED GIRL
VICTIMS
EVIDENCE IS OF THE vILEsT
The Diss De Barr Woman Assisted
the Male Prisoner i'm Ruin
of "TheOcratic NeO-
phytes."

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE hearing of the
charges against Theodore and Laura
Jackson Gam Odelia Diss De Barr was
continued today. The police court was
crowded, a number of women being
among those present while the police
found it necessary to clear the walk OF
those who We're anxious to gain admis
sion and hear the most noisome testi-
mony ever given publicly. in a London
court. The witness examined today was
Daisy Adams, a mere child, wearing
red Tam o'Shanter cap and with her
hair in curls hanging. down her shoulders.
She testified that she was enticed to Lon
don under the promise of being taught
music.
Laura Jackson continued to conduct the
case for the defense. She was clothed in
a soiled, draggled suit of white. The
woman evidently had a powerful influence
over the girl Adams and leaned over the
dock and gazed tiXedly at the witness,
evidently with the hope of intimidating
her and maintaining her hypnotic in
fluence. But the girl frustrated the at
tempt by turning her back on the pris-
oner and looking at the judge.
Then Laura Jackson demanded a chair
and seating herself in a corner of the
dock, interrupted the witness with ir-
revelant questions until the court COM
manded her to desiSt.
The testimony which was of the vilest
character, related to the indignities suf-
fered at the hands of the male prisoner
while she was a neophyte of the Theo-
cratic unity, under the promise that she
would become a reincarnation of the
Virgin Mary.
The witness testified that she was so
fully under the prisoners influence at
the time that she believed his claims of
divine parentage.
when they were alone and in the presence
of Mrs. Jackson.
At the close of the morning session
Mrs. Jackson demanded of the court the
return of the money taken from the
prisoners by the authorities when they
were arrested, but the court refused TO
grant her request.
Mrs. Jackson also referred to William
T. Stead's recent reputation of any
knowledge Of the prisoners, called him
that redoubtable pro-Boer," and said
Detective Inspector Lane had a dozen
letters which had been written by Mr..
Stead to the accused.
Daisy Adams spent the day on the wit
ness stand, detailing Jackson's acts of
misconduct and Mrs Jackson's urging
her to consent to his wishes as he was
the "SOn of God. and would not hurt
her.
On one occasion Mrs Jackson held the
girls hand while the misconduct oc-
Cured.
After Daisy Adams had learned of the
experiences of other girls she told Jack
son that it was wrong for him to have
so many wives. He retorted with
scriptural illustrations, saying that Sol
ONION had 300 wives and 600 "other
wives
During the presentation of the evidence
Mrs Jackson interrupted the witness,
saying: Did 1 ever give you immoral
advice?"
Yes, many times" replied the witness.

NEVER TOUCHED HIM
DRUNKEN FARMER HAS MIRACU-
LOUS ESCAPE FROM BEING
ELECTROCUTED
sTRkYED INTO DYNAMO ROOM
Picked His Way Through Heavily
Charged Wires and Laid Down
on Floor and Went
TO Sleep.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Get 17.-(Special.)-
Late last night Dan Walters, a Pine
creek farmer, who had sold a load of
produce and invested in whisky, escaped
from death by elecrocution in a miracu-
louS manner. Walters was helped upon
his wagon in a maudlin condition, ana
started to drive home, but became lost
ard at II o'clock was stranded among
freight cars on the Burlington tracks
The night was Geld, and he descended
from the wagon and started off in search
Of a hotel. BY mistake he entered the
dynamo room of the Brush Electric Light
company. Two electricians who We're en-
gagged in the farther end of the room
were struck dumb with horror when they
looked up and saw man staggering
through a maze of wires, contact with
any one of which would have meant in
slant death. So perilous was his position
that they dared not offer him assistance
or even speak TO him, for fear of precipi-
tat!ng fatal accident. To their great
relief Walters evaded what seemed GER
tain death with the luck of a drunken
man and lay down upon the floor between
two huge dynamos, where he was soon
fast asleep. The machinery was instant
~ shut down. and Walters vas given
over to a policeman, who hustled him
away to a police station. How he had
gained admission to the carefully guarded
room was at first a mystery, but it was
later discovered that he had pushed open
one OF the large rear windows of the
building. The electrician In charge said
that it would have been almost impoSsi-
bic for man in his sober senses to have
picked his way safely through that cob
web of death.
