Washington Scientist Says Subjective Mind Sauk Centre Man
viii Answer if QUESTIONED

Special to The Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Oct. 10.-The
ghost of Herman Neitzl, whose body
was found on the Great Northern
tracks, near Sauk Center, some weeks
ago, and which the section men aver
still walks. is attracting attention far
beyond the limited sphere about Sauk
Center. Prof. Louis H. vath, of this
city, has an interesting letter apropos
of the subject from gentleman resi-
dent in Washington, who is evidently
student of natural phenomenon. AT
his suggestion Prof. Vath has promised
in reply to take party of Sank Center
friends to the scene Of the ghosts noe
turnal operations, and ascertain. If pos
sible, from the wrath the manner of
poor Neitzl's death. A delegation of
prominent Sauk Center citizens will ac-
company them to be sure that nothing
happens to the board Of inquiry, head
ed by Prof. Vath. The letter from
Washington, which is appended, will
be found to be interesting:

MRS. MOLINFUX WILL
MARRY HER LAWYER
CircumstantiaI Evidence Tends
to Show the Groom Will Be

Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Oct. 10-The
discussion as to whether or not Mrs.
Roland B. Molineux had in reality Sc
! cured South Dakota divorce as
claimed by herself and her local at
torneys, had an interesting sequel here
tonight, when one of her local attor-
neys stated that within the next few
weeks it will be demonstrated to the
satisfaction of everybody that the de-
cree was granted here.
In other words, the attorney admits
that Mrs. Molineux is preparing to
again assume the bonds of matrimony,
and curiosity will once more be
aroused as to the identity of the man
who Will be her new husband. Who
ever she marries, one thing is certain,
and that is that the marriage will take
place In South Dakota, as this would,
In case of necessity, compel the courts
OF other states to recognize the legality
OF her divorce as well as her remar-
riage.
Notwithstanding denials, it is be-
lieved here that one of her Sioux Falls
attorneys, whose name has recently
been used in connection with that of
Mrs. Molineux, will lead her to the
altar.
During her residence here, and
especially after she gave up her hotel
a dilIilcHtS anu engaged cottage, he
was almost constantly in attendance
upon her. Many quiet summer after
moons were spent by the couple in
various beautiful retreats along the
Big Sioux river, a hammock and other
picnic paraphernalia being a part of
their equipment. The attorney was.
In fact, so devoted to Mrs. Molineux
that on several occasions he was seen
pushing a lawnmower over her lawn.
A newly married couple could not have
appeared more devoted to each other.
He was, SO far as known, her only
caller, and was extremely diligent in
entertaining her and thus varying the
monotony of her residence in Sioux
Falls. The attorney recently returned
from visit with Mrs. Molineux in
New York, and rumors were In cir
culation here that they already had
been secretly married. This, however,
has been denied by the attorneys s
closest friends.
1t cannot be denied, though, that the
attorney is having a handsome and
costly dwelling house erected in the
most artistocratic portion of Sioux
Falls. The prevailing opinion is that
the attorney and Mrs. Molineux will
be married in the near future and take
up their residence in the new house.
In support of this theory, it is claimed
that during the time Mrs. Molineux
resided in Sioux Falls she took a deep
interest in the new house, going over
the plans repeatedly, and that, in fact,
the arrangement of the rooms, etc, is
in reality the product of her brain.

that time DR.. Cluff and his daughter

FIGHT FOR CANTEEN
Administration Hopes to Have
1t Re-estabIlshed.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. TO-
Army circles are greatly interested in
the fight which it is proposed to make
during the coming congress for the re-
establishment of the army canteen or
post exchange. The plan is said to be
to attach a rider to the military appro-
priation bill repeating the anti canteen
law which was enacted two years ago
at the behest of the w. C. T. U. and
other similar societies and church or
ganizations.
Ever since the law abolishing the
canteen went into effect reports have
been pouring into the war department
from every garrison of United States
troops in this country, as well as in
our non-contiguous possessions, all OF
them stating that drunkenness, crime
insubordination and other violations of
military laws have increased many
fold. Every officer who has had charge
of troops has officially stated that his
men have become simply uncontrolla-
BILE; that they have never lost an op-
portunity to leave their posts of duty,
either with or without permission, and
that then they have visited low grog-
shops, gambling dives and other dis
reputable resorts, where they almost
invariably became intoxicated and fire.
quentIy committed crimes ranging from
larceny and fighting to murder.
The record has been so uniformly
bad that administration officials have
been considering for a long time the
advisability of making fight for the
establishment of the canteen, where
soldiers can drink few glasses of
beer with associates, which will pre-
vent their desire to leave the garrison
and frequent low saloons. The admin
istratfon realizes that big fight will
develop from the situation. The off,
cials know that the so-caIIed temner-
ance advocates will not surrender their
victory" without a struggle. They
are prepared to meet every attack with
the official records of the great increase
of drunkenness and other forms of vice
growing out of the soldiers inability
to get drink without leaving the gov
ernment reservation.
With these facts in hand, the war
department hopes to stiffen ND the
backs of members of congress who
have been prone to listen to the re-.
quests and threats OF n BODY of women
who are totally unfamiliar with milf
tary affairs. One officer said today that
upon the success or failure of their
plan TO re-establish the canteen de-
pended the welfare and glory or the
degradation and moral destruction .of
the American army.

CIRCUIT WILL WORK
AGAINST MAYOR Low
Gotham's ComptroIIerPromises
to Give His Undivided Sup
port to Mcclellan.

NEW YORK, Oct 10.-The sensa-
tion of the day in politics was the dec
laration made by Comptroller Grout, in
reference to his formal notification of
nomination by Tammany Hall that he
would oppose the election of Mayor
Low and give his undivided support to
Col. Mcclellan. The majority of the
Kings county Democratic organization
absented themselves from the notifica-
ton ceremonies and sent a letter of
protest, giving adhesion to the nomi-
nation of Mcclellan and bitterly de-
nouncing the nominations of Grout and
Fornes. Their action is taken to pre-
sage a bitter war between the Demo-
cratic factions in Brooklyn. Charles
F. Murphy took steps to carry the
fight into Hugh McLaughlin's territory
by preparing to open Tammany head
quarters in Brooklyn.
The fusion campaign was opened in
Brooklyn to night. Mayor Low, Bor-
ougll President Swanstrom, City
Chamberlain Gould and Frederick w.
Hinrichs, nominee for comptroller,
were the principal speakers. Mr.. Low
said that the present contest for mu-
nicipal control would not be consid-
cred lightly, for it involved "uncom-
promising hostility to Tammany Hail."

New Charges Are Brought
Against the MuIti-Banker
of Wisconsin.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-Ten years ago

prietor of three banks, which collapsed
simultaneously, later a prisoner in the
Wisconsin penitentiary, physician
broker and private banker, such is the
record of "Dr." Arthur c. Probert.
whose bank in Eau Claire, Mich, sus-
pended on Saturday.
While the embarrassment of the Eau
Claire bank is said to have been tenn
porary, in that it reopened today, other
troubles confront Probert. One is n
charge of fraudulent use of the mails,
which is scheduled to come up for in
VeStigation before the federal grand
jury in Chicago this month.
Another is that two indictments are
pending against Probert in Marshall
county, Indiana, growing out of the
failure of Il bank owned by him in

THEY MARRY TWICE
FOR GOOD LUCK
NewYork Bride Joins Her Actor
Husband and the Two
Visit Minister.

An interesting romance in the lives
or Louis Morrell, a member of the
Sis Hopkins" company and a pretty
New York girl, who, before her mar
riage to Mr.. Morrell, was Miss Alvina
Arment, the daughter of we'll known
New York lawyer, came to light in ST
Paul yesterday, when Mr.. and Mrs
Morrell announced to their friends that
they had been married an hour before
by Rev. Benjamin Longley, pastor of
the Central Park M E. church.
Miss Arment" arrived in ST. Paul
yesterday morning direct from New
York. She reached the city at 9 o'clock
and was met at the depot by Mr.. Nor
rel. An hour later the couples mar
rage was solemnized by the Rev. Mr..
Longley.
Arriving at the theater yesterday
afternoon, Mr.. Morrell announced his
marriage and introduced his wife to the
members of the company The an
nouncement came as a surprise to the
friends of Mr.. Morrell, who did not
even know that he was engaged, so
closely had he guarded his love affair.
1t appears, however, upon investiga-
ton, that the couple were more to each
other than betrothed lovers even be-
fore Miss Arment arrived in st. Paul.
for the story goes that they were Sc
cretly married by a justice in New
York last summer, after a courtship
which was not without it's troubles.
How 1t Leaked Out.
The secret of the marriage had been
so well guarded by the couple that
even the parents of the girl never
learned of it, and 1t probably would
never have come to light had it not
been for the fact that, while the an
nouncement was made yesterday OF
the marriage of the couple in ST. Paul,
there was no record of the couple hav-
ing secured marriage license.
It appeared rather strange that a
couple would be permitted to wed
without a marriage license, especially
when the ceremony was performed BY
a minister and an investigation re-
suited in bringing to light the story of
the young couples romance
Last summer Mr.. Morrell was spend
ing his vacation at his home in New
York, where he met and fell in love
with Miss Arment, to whom he was
introduced one evening at private the
atrlcals in which she took part The
friendship rapidly ripened into love.
and it was agreed between the lovers
that they would wed.
There was a strenuous objection to
any plan of this kind on the part OF
Miss Arfnent's parents, who threatened
to disinherit her if she married the
young actor.
Love found a way. however, and
the couple were secretly married. The
