FINDS A JOINTED SNAKE
AND MAKES GOOD
Col. eettys, of Tennessee. Is Able to
Refute Scientific skeptics.

KNOXVILLE, Sept. ia joint
ed snake was exhibited here today by
Col. r. P. Gettys, mill operator It
was secured by Col. Gettys. who has
been after one of these reptiles for
several weeks in order to set himself
right before the snake scientists of the
world, who have charged that Col.
Gettys was telling a simple snake
story when he replied to an article In
a recent issue of the Scientific Ameri-
can, which declared jointed snakes
were nothing more than a myth.
Col Gettys remembered having seen
a jointed snake on several occasions
during his boyhood. He had noticed
the fact that when struck the snake
became unjointed at a number of
places. In few minutes the parts
would readjust themselves, and the
snake would crawl away unharmed
He wrote an article to this effect to
prove the existence of the questioned
jointed snake. and has since been be-
sieged by letters from persons learned
on this subject doubling his story.
Col. Gettys has been trying TO Sc
cure a specimen since and has been
successful, mountaineer in North
Georgia having produced the snake
which Col. Gettys has sold to the
Smithsonian institution. 1t measures
two feet.

SEPTEMBER WHEAT
SELLSAT N|NETY.ONE
Damage to Crops Causes an
Advance of Over Two
Cents.

That the reports from the North
western states regarding the damage
done to the wheat crops are, to a large
extent correct, was vouched for yes
terday by the action of the Minne-
apolis market. September wheat jump
ed from SS12 cents to 81 cents, at which
figure it remained until the close of the
session.
December was also higher, advancing
u cent on the poor crop reports. The
fax market, probably more than wheat,
reflected the weather conditions in the
Northwest. During the past few days
prices have gone up 10 cents and the
seed is now selling at $1.07.
Out of 648 cars of wheat received in
Minneapolis yesterday only 128 graded
No. northern and 10 No. 2. The re-
mainder was of low grades which sold
from 76 cents up to sc cents.
There seems no probability that
threshing will be resumed for a week
or ten days and some of the best in
formed grain men declared that fully
half the wheat is in the shock and that
much Of it has sprouted.

Hypnotic Spell Exercised Over
Wife.

CHICAGO, Sept. Is. = Death alone
could break the spell that won the love
of Mrs. Emma Louise Ferguson from
her husband to Harry De Lorme, who
recently died in Cincinnati. But death
came too late to prevent the ruin of a
home.
This was the tragic plot laid bare in
the hearing of Alexander M. Ferguson's
plea for divorce by Judge Chytrus yes
terday.
The tragedy had its rise soon after
the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Fergu-
son in 1899. They came to Chicago to
live, and Ferguson's business kept him
much away from home. During one of
these absences Mrs. Ferguson became
acquainted with Harry De Lorme, a
matinee idol, playing in local theater
The story Of the actors fascination
Tor the young wife and of the hypnotic
spell which he seemed to exercise over
her is told in the following letter from
the woman to her husband, which was
read in court yesterday:
knew that l was doing wrong to
encourage the intimacy. 1 fought
against it as only a woman can who
loves her husband as truly-as devot-
edly-as 1 did you.
But under his influence I was as
wax in the hands of the molder. He
had hypnotic influence over me- that
HSuL DIS WOulQ, could not Withstand.
Had you been with me all the time I
might have triumphed, and remained a
true, honorable wife. But you were not
here always.
"A dozen times when you would come
home have been on the point of tell
ing you all-asking you to forgive me,
and take me away from the man who
held my very soul captive. Yet such
was his influence that 1 could not even
do that.
Then at last came the fatal day
when he bade me follow him, and I left
you-and left my home-and at last
you knew the truth.
He is dead now, and the fatal inf1u-
ence has gone. 1 will not ask you to
forgive me-and yet I love you so dear
ly that l am willing to give you up-to
acknowledge my guilt, my shame, my
weakness-that you may be free to
marry again, some good, pure woman,
who will be worthy of the husband that
I have lost-forever."
The heartbreaking plea affected Mr..
Ferguson, but he could not retrace his
step, he said, in justice to himself.
However he instructed Attorney Saul
Erbstein to ask for the decree on the
grounds of desertion in the amended
bill, instead of naming statutory
grounds.
Mrs. Ferguson is now living in Kan
sas City. Ferguson is still travelling,
and stopped off in Chicago yesterday
only long enough to be present at the
hearing of the case.

PREMIER BALFOUR
HITSFREE TRADE
His Open-mndedness Has Apparently Come to an End,
for He Issues Pamphlet Virtually Arguing for Pro.
tection-Deciares Great Britain Has No Show in
Dealing With High Tariff Countries.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-Premier Bal
four issued tonight the advance sheets
of pamphlet on the subject of IN
sular Free Trade in which he pre-
sents at length arguments in favor of
a change in Great Britain's fiscal poll
cy. In introducing the pamphlet Mr.
Balfour says his purpose in issuing it
is that it would be impossible to put
all the important points of this ques-
tion within the limits of a single
speech, and therefore the pamphlet
may be fitting preliminary to the
speech which he will shortly make.
This undoubtedly refers to the speech
Mr.: Balfour will make at Sheffield
Oct. l.
Mr.. Balfour says he approaches the
subject from the standpoint of a free
trader, so far as contemporary Cir
cumstances will permit. He con-
tinues:
81 am free trader, but not of the
pattern which holds that the doctrine
of free trade is SO universal in it's ap-
plication and so capable of an exact
expression that every conclusion to
which it logically leads must be ac-

When placed upon the floor the dog

cepted without hesitation and with
out reserve
The arguments presented through
out the pamphlet vary little from those
already enunciated, but the premier
points out that as a result of Eng
lands policy of retaining a fiscal pol
Icy made for free trade country in a
world of free traders, not for a free
trade country in world Of protection
lists, the rate of her export trade has
not increased, and, in fact, has Sc

Compared with past years some de-
payments show no increase, while
others show symptoms of decay. The
premier asserts that there is no rea-
son to expect an Improvement Mean
while Germany, America, France,
Russia and even Great Britains self
governing colonies continue to build
up a protected interest within their
borders.

by the free traders half century age

EoPCCldl 10 LIE (IlODe.
CHICAGO, Sept. ia twentieth
century crusade against their ancient
enemy, the Turk, is being planned by
Knights Templars, with the Balkans
in place of Palestine as the field In
which they will protect Christians
against the oppression of infdels.
Prominent members of the order are
agitating the formation of a league
that will send regiments of well drill
ed fighters to the aid of Bulgaria, and
the crusades of the twelfth century
may have their modern prototype in a
movement of the Templars against the
troops of the Porte. The plan has re-
eeived consideration by Chicago mem
bers of the organization for some time.
and tomorrow night it is expected to
be formally broached at the meeting of
st. Bernard commandery.
With 100000 members under oath to
be ready to go and fight the enemies
OF Christ even to the DEATH 1t is ex-
pected that an international interest

100000 Knights from the United
States and Europe may be massed in
Macedonia to fight the soldiers of Tur-

plars in Chicago the outrages at Bel
rut and Adrianople have revived the
spirit that led to the formation Of the
order eight centuries ago.
At the convention at Peoria leading
members of the organization discuss
ed seriously the expediency of issuing
a call for volunteer regiments to be
sent to the scene of depredations, with
the result that tomorrow night one OF
the eleven local communicates will be
asked to take action. AS yet the
scheme is not prfected, but the gen
eral plan is to muster In regiments tha
Templars and send them to enlist un-

NEW YORK. Sept. 15--It was posi-

Bum, the general counsel of the
Northern Pacific and Northern Sc.
curities companies, would be the sue
cessor of President Mellen, who will
resign from the Northern Pacific to
accept the presidency of the New

formation of the Northern Securities
company, James j. Hill, whose atten-
ton had been attracted by Mr.. Bunn's
legal attainments, became more than
ever interested in the general council,
and when the control of the Northern
Pacific passed to the Northern Securi-
ties, Mr.. Hill made no secret of his in
tention to press Mr.. Bum for the pres
idency of the former should oppor-
tunity arise. Such opportunity has now
arisen by the resignation of Mr.. Mel

President Mellen arrived in New

Northern Pacific office today. He would
not say whether or not he would ac-
cept the position rendered him, but his
friends say that he will be glad to re-
turn to the New Haven road. President
