How Professor Gates Is Enabled to
Read Human Thoughts.
Science is at last to penetrate the Sc
crets of the human mind, according to
Professor Elmer w. Gates, who has
discovered, so he claims, that every
thought of the brain has distinctive
color and that he has devised an APP
paratus that will accurately record
them.
Professor Gates, who has been work
ing on his discovery for many years in
his laboratory at Washington, is al
ready noted in the scientific world.
If his latest discovery can be devel-
oped for practical use, the apparatus is

At Morbonia hospital Saturday
morning occurred the death of Hans
Hansen, an old resident of the west
ern part of the city. The fatal all
ment was cancer, from the effects of
which he had been a long and patient
sufferer. Deceased was Go years of
age.
The new exchange of the Union
Electric Telephone company on Har-
risOn street was thrown open to the
public Saturday night. From s
O'Clock until later in the evening a
constant procession of people passed
in and out of the brilliantly lighted
building, inspecting the furnishings
and equipment. This opening means
the practical completion of the com
pany's plant in this city. OF course
there are n number of subscribers in
the outlying districts who have not
yet had their phones connected, but
these will be looked after as fast rs
possible. On the other hand, through
out the entire business. district, the
instruments are in place and fully
connected SO that they are now ready
for use at any time.
y crook, giving his name as George
w Willis, and bearing every evidence
of being long time professional, was
arrested Saturday night by Capt. Con-
nelly at the Is and 20 cent rooming
house, near Second and Perry streets,
on suspicion that he was man want
ed for stealing clothes from w. w.
Helmets saloon and boarding house
on the Rockingham road. Mr.. Hell
mel had no trouble i'm identifying him
as the thief. Shortly after the arrest
Il message was received from the Mo-
line station saying that man was
wanted there for stealing an over
coat. \ description was given which
tailed exactly with Willis. Acting on
these clues the captain questioned the
man closely, and finally got II partial
confession from him which reveals
one of the smoothest games worked
here for some time. Willis took the
goods taken here to Moline and dis
posed of them there. and while in
Moline stole an Overcoat, brought it
to Davenport, and disposed of it here
The stuff taken at Helmets consisted
of blue coat and vest, gray over
coat and gray pair of trousers. be-
longing to a boarder named Willis.
1t seems that the name Willis was as
stunned merely to hide the theft of the
clothes in case of an arrest.

George III. Vincent, 141S Brady
street, well known young travelling
salesman in the employ of the Fuller
and Fuller Drug company, of Chica-
go. with which his father. c. 5. Vim
cent, is also connected, is reported by
the Associated Press dispatches to
have lost SLIGO by investing that
amount in the get-rich-quick turf in
vestment concern of II. Brolaslli com
pany, which was raided by the police
| in Chicago Friday afternoon. along
with q number of similar CONCERTS,
which are reported to have fieeced
the ever faith-abiding public out of
S1.500,O00 during the past year. Mr..
| Vincent complained to the Chicago
police that he had invested 81, 100 in
the company and had failed to receive
the munificent weekly dividends that
were promised.
| Henry Albrecht, who was indicted
by the grand jury for assault with at
tempt to rape, was sentenced by
Judge Bollinger Saturday. His fine
was fixed at 500, the defendant 10 re-
main imprisoned in the county jail
until the amount of the fine has been
worked out. Albrecht pleaded not
guilty Friday afternoon, but changed
his plea at the second hearing from
the one named to simple assault. He
was found guilty and sentenced. The
prisoner is alleged to have attempted
assault of criminal nature a couple
weeks ago on little Lille Boswell in
Il shed near one of the Ripley street
| factories. The sentence is a light one
considering the nature of the crime.
But there was no very strong evil
dence introduced to show that the
prisoner was guilty of-the full eX-
tent of the crime. Had the court APP
piled the maximum penalty of the
law, Albrecht might have been SEN
fenced to a long term in the state
penitentiary.
William Kelley. eX-city plumbing
| inspector, who lost caste because of
bibulous habits, is again in trouble.
He is charged with the larceny of Il
pair of timers shears which he Dor
rowed from Detlefsen q Moeller, of
| $40 West Second street, and later
pawned at a second hand store on
East Second street, near Perry, for %
cents with which to buy drink. Kel-
ley was sent to Jail.

look after his interests in the suit
for injunction instituted by w. III.
Winecke, has prepared motion for
the removal of the temporary injunc-
ton now existing against the office
and residence rooms of the doctor in
the Winecke block, which will prob
ably be filed and argued today. To
the motion is attached an affidavit
signed by the other tenants of the
Winecke block and asserting that the
operation of a hospital or sanitarium
in the doctors rooms was not disa-
greeable to them. Mr.. Chamberlin
has also prepared an answer TO the

death under suspicious circumstances
of any of his hospital patients.

Into Circumstances Of Rich
Englishman's Demise.

New York. Dec. 15.-Inspector Nc
Clusky, chief of the detective bureau, is
today looking into the death In Bellevue
hospital Thursday OF last week OF
Adolphus Drucker. who was at one time
a member OF the British parliament.
Mr.. Drucker was wealthy mine own
err. his interest being In British Column
bia- Drucker was placed I'm the prison
ward OF the hospital, while suffering
from alcoholism, and died there. The
present investigation was brought about
by letter written by Attorney Eugene
H. Robinson. Druckers lawyer 1t was
written by James Murphy. now pris-
oner I'm the Tombs. but who occupied
a cot next to Drucker in the hospital.
Briefly. Murphy charges that the at
tendants dosed the patient with frequent
and heavy hypodermic injections OF NOR
phine. besides an internal dose OF mar
cotic known as "snipe' and also beat
him about the head frequently and un-
necessarily. When Drucker died Murphy
declares the attending nurse was asleep
Afterwards the body was hastily taken
TO the morgue and Il is charged the hour
OF death was misstated.
Another charge Is that though friends
of Mr.. Drucker had several times tele-
phoned to the hospital asking II Drucker
was there the answer was always that
no such person was among the patients.
II is also averred that when he was
thought to Bellevue he had valuable
jeweiry about him and that this has dis
appeared.
