DEFlED BY HIS OWN SKILL.
Hypnotist Puts Family to Sleep, !.
Unable to Awake Them.

a-|H=.HF SSt00s~ = VVoNS ] uCbHs - ...
La Sale, ILL.,, April 28:-Rudolph
Bartag, his wife and their five children
were found in a comatose condition
in their home at Ticona, a village near
here. Leo Lenser, an amateur hypno-
fist, later confessed that he put the
family to sleep four days ago and had
bee1 trying to awaken them ever
since. This evening he succeeded in
arousing two of the children, but all
of the others are still asleep.
A physician was summoned and de-
clared that the victims of Lenser's
skill are in a normal state, as far as
heart action is concerned. They are
simply asleep. The villagers at first
threatened Lenser with violence, but
contented themselves with mounting
guard over him and his victims and
compelling him to continue his efforts
to arouse the family.
He finally succeeded in awakening
two of the children, and then collaps-
ed himself under the nervous strain
He partly recovered later and says
that he has been under so great a
nervous strain for the last foud days
that he has lost control of his will
power. He is confident that as soon
as he RECEIVERS his normal tempera.
ment he can restore them.

AWED.
Moros Beginning to Think That They
Are Not lnvjncjble.

Are Not lnvincibIe.
Manila, April 29.-General George
A. Davis has arrived at Lake Lano,
island of Mindanao, and has had an
interview with nine dattos, who are
DESTROYS Of peace and friendship.
Papelou, n of these dattos, said he
did not write the defiant letter receiv-
ed by the Americans at the time of
the massacre of the American troops
in Mindanao. He asserted that it
was written in the house Of a priest
from Taisaira while he was sick. The
priest fled on the appearance of the
troops.
General Davis says the policy of
waiting for a strong force, showing
friendship to the natives and paying
for supplies, is having good results.
Captain Lea Febiger, of the Seven
teenth infantry, is clearing the trails.
When the r~einforcements reach Sa-
mar the Americans will be nearly to
Datto Bayan, and may invite the chief
to a friendly conference and request
him to deliver up the murderers of
American soldiers, who are known to
be among his forces. If he refuses the
troops will demolish his fort.
Not a shot has been fired since
Lieutenant Colonel Frank D. Baldwin,
of the Fourth infantry, captured the
fort. The Moros r now impressed
with American valor. They previously
thought themselves ,invincible, the
Spaniards not having reached the
lake. 1t is believed that when the
campaign is concluded the most sat
isfactory conditions will exist, that
the natives will be friendly and will
fast assimilate with the ways of the
Americans.

Washington, April 29.-President
Havemeyer and other officials of the
American Sugar company, will be
asked to appear and give testimony
before the subcommittee of the SEN
ate on relations with Cuba, appointed
to inquire into the question of Cuban
sugar holdings and they will be the
first witnesses called. The sub-com-
mittee held it's first meeting today,
with all the members of the commit
tee present. The discussion was a
very general one, but no definite re-
suit beyond that of deciding to call
the trust officials was reached .
The opinion vas generally express
ed that the investigation would not
be long drawn out, unless men should
be summoned from Cuba, in which
case some time might be necessary
to secure the persons wanted.

terday and last night the good news
was sent out that the striking machin.
lists would go to work this morning.
About all the machinists who were
out vent back this morning and the
remainder went in this afternoon.
The settlement has attached to it a
little experiment that will be watched
with interest. A test is to be made
which will in all probability determine
further action relative to- this partdc-
ular work. The terms of the settle
ment are that the company is to man
one Of the Jones or Lampson lathes
with one Of the handy or special men.
The machinists are to man also a
similar machine with a full-fedged
machinist. The two men are. to work
on their respective machines for two
weeks and if it can be shown that the
machinist can do about one-third more
work than the handy or special man,
then all handy men are to be remov-
ed from these machines,
If the first man put on by the ma
chinists fails to make good" then
a second man will be given a similar !
test, so as to make Ut thorough. If
the second man fails, the machinists
agree to withdraw their men.
Vice President Wilson said at the !
business mems meeting a few nights
ago that the machinists could do
more work on the machines, and it is
understood that it is his W PROPOSE

There is a general feeling of relief

THREE VICE PRESIDENTS.
Wives OF Senators Propose a Consti-

Wives Of Senators Propose . consti,
tutionai Amendment.
Washington, April 28.-Here at the
national capital the take a
hand in politics now and then. The
wives OF q number of senators are
working to secure an important
amendment to the constitution Of the.
United States. They desire that this,
amendment should provide for the
election Of three vice presidents at
each ~quadrennial election, these Of
ficials to rank in the order of their.
nomination and placing on the elector-
al ballots.
Many senators look with some in
diligence on this idea Of their wives.
and one recently said that IL the
women could only find some proper
occupation for the two extra vice
presidents he would take the matter
under serious consideration and in
troduce the proper resolutions in con
gress and begin a campaign before the.
state legislatures.
The women argue that were their
idea to become law it would settle all
the vexed questions Of precedence
now raging in Washington. The three.
vice presidents would in all human
probability suffice to cover all acct
dents during four years, and chimeri-
cal as the proposition seems on its
face, the ONE proporting it claim
to be in earnest. The question is be-
ably debated in Washington draw
ing rooms.
Most of the fair sex believe that
putting the presidential succession in
the cabinet officers is illogical and UNI

Five Of the Crew Of Submarine Boat
Fulton Injured.

TUtIOn HJureo. $50.
Philadelphia, April 29.-An explo
sion, supposed to have been caused
by gasoline, occurred on the subma.
rine boat Fulton on the Delaware
breakwater today. Five of the crew
were severely injured. They are:
Lieutenant Arthur Macarthur, u. S,
NJ, badly cut about the head; Lieu
tenant Oscar Koken, Of the Australian
navy, severely bruised; G. B. Miner,
assistant engineer, injured about the
head and overcome by gasoline
fumes; Charles Brethold, gunner. in.
jured about the head and face.
All of the injured were taken to
the quarantine hospital.
The Fulton and her convoy, the
yacht Mindora, and the tug storm
King, put into Delaware breakwater
at 10 O'Clock this morning.
The. watch had been changed a
short time before the explosion &C.
Cured.
The cause of the explosion is a
mystery. It did not occur in the en-
gineroom and the gasoline in the
storage tank was not ignited. Cap
tain Cable says that, owing to the
gasoline fumes, he has not been able
make an investigation.
Lieutenant Macarthur expresses
the opinion that the action of air in
gasoline tank caused the explo- |
sion.
The Fulton is apparently not seri-
ously damaged.
