Mrs Harriet Bergh, widow, 73 years old
| and, according to n sign on her home at 7s5
Marcy avenue, Brooklyn, a clairvoyant
was arrested yesterday, charged with vio-
lating the law by telling fortunes. Com
plant was made against her by Mrs. Fannie
Jenick, also a widow, who runs waistcoat
factory at 1906 Greene avenue.
Mrs. Jenick declares that Mrs. Bergh has
been maligning her to the girls whom she
has employed In her shop, that the clair
voyant has worked on their supersttions
in such way that most of them have left
consequence of the trouble which she had
been put to in getting help her business
According to Mrs. Jenick, she caught
Mrs. Bergh "with the goods on by going
to the clairvoyant's home under an as
her fortune told. She says she learned
from Mrs. Bergh's own lips what bold,
bad woman" Mrs. Jenick was.
Trouble began for her, Mrs. Jenick says.
had n dozen girls in her employ. They
began TO act queerly toward her and TO
hold whispered conferences whenever she
came into the sewing room.
They crossed their fingers and drew
back whenever Mrs. Jenick passed by them.
They cried out in fright If her skirts touched
theirs, and sometimes getting in a corner
of the room in recess behind some cur
tains. they would say things that sounded
to Mrs. Jenick like IFlitter-dutter-fcke
flop ,
Jenick do some tall thinking. She couldn't
find out anything from the girls, for they
refused to talk with her Finally she had
to discharge about half of them.
Then one morning when she popped
into hs GlH6anlv ha
some curtains. one of the girls, In her fright,
cried out
aOh, Mrs. Jenick. don't! Don't. Mrs.
Jenick!"
Mrs. Jenck gave her the CLASSY stare
and the girl broke out again:
-Oh. know it's true you're black ar
tist know you can bewitch. You make
the girls sick and we'll all die If we stay
Don t, don't touch me-"
Then the girl broke down and Mrs.
Jenick says she learned that some of the
young women had visited Mrs. Bergh and
had been stuffed full of nonsense about
her.
She went to the Adams street court
to see If she couldn't prosecute somebody
for SANDER, but they told her then that
she didn't have enough evidence. SO
she started out to get it, taking her friend,
Miss Wilhelmina Richter with her
They went to Mrs. Bergh's house and

as one Of the employees in the Jenick shop.
Mrs. Bergh, SO far as Mrs. Jcnick knows,
had never seen her before that time.
The sivery-haired genius OF the cards,
with face full OF wrinkles and dressed
in deep black led them into a dimly lighted
room. Mrs. Jenick, according to her
own story, took her place in front of n
marble top table on which the clairvoyant
had spread a deck of cards.

Gen. MILES EXPLAINS,
me statement That He Promised FiMpinss
Freedom Absolutely False, He eays,

me statement That He Promised Filipino,
Freedom Absolutely False, He says.
WASHINGTON, May 0.-Jose Xavier, a
Filipino insurgent Official. recently arrested
In Manila by the civil authorities, Ia author.
ny Tor the statement that Lieut. Gen.
Miles was sent to the Philippines by the
Democratic party 10 ascertain whether
the Filipino people are capable OF self.
government. Xavier's declaration h con.
tanned an intercepted letter, written In De.
cember about the time Gen. Miles left Hong
Kong for Pekin, and a. copy OF the letter
was referred to the War Department by
Gen. Davis.
Xavier was the Filipino representative
in Manila Of foreign affairs and correspondent
with the insurgent officers under the name
OF "Mausig" The letter referring to Cen,
Miles was captured in February, after a
fight between the Philippine constabulary
and strong native force. It was addressed
to M. Alexandra Santiago. Supreme Chief
OF the X. X, the initials meaning the Kati-
punan secret society Of the insur gents.
Its writer was traced and Xavier was ar
rested and tried on charge Of treason.
Xavier says in his letter that the Demo-
cratic party decided to send Gen. Miles
to the Philippines to ascertain whether the
Filipino people are capable Of self-govern-
ment. Gen. Miles was to work quietly,
as the Democrats wanted it to appear
that he was only to review the American
troops. Xavier felt sure that Gen. Miles
was friendly and said that the General
loved the Filipinos and had promised that
by next May the question Of their indepen-
dence would be- decided.
Gen Davis in forwarding Xavier's letter
to the Secretary Of War said that he felt
sure the writer had made unauthorized
use Of Gen. Miles's name. Because Of its
serious nature the communication was
referred to Gen. Miles, and 1t is said that
he has replied that Xavier had absolutely
no foundation for his statements. This
explanation is said to be satisfactory. and
no further action will be taken by the Sec
rotary Of War.

JUSTICE CHEATED.

In the disposition Of the Joe Cole
case Justice has again been cheated.
II ever there was a. case which called
for the extreme penalty for murder
we believe this one did. The law was
on the side Of the murderer and the
Supreme Court says that under the
law he could not be hung. But the
law is wrong and ought to be re-
pealed. 1t is well to have degrees i'll
murder All killing is not murder,
but the law should not be so that it
is next to impossible to establish
first degree murder Deliberation,
reconciliation and malice afOre-
thought must be proven to convict
of murder in the first degree. The
act itself. the circumstances leading
up to and surrounding the commits
sion of the crime have little or moth
ing to do with it, they are not to be
considered The law ought to be
changed or capital punishment for
murder should be wiped from the
statute books.
