Fair Rates and Merging.

My position and sentiments IN re-
gard to the merger have been grossly
misrepresented. I am opposed to-
and never have favored any plan or
proposition INVOLVING the merging or
consolidation of competing and
parallel lines of railroad.
have said, and repeat hsre to-
night that the question that vitality
affects the public in regard to rail-
roads and their supervision by the
state government is the question
of rates. The state railroad com.
mission and the United States inter
state commerce commission should
be vested with ample powers to regu-
late railroad rates, and if their pre-
sent powers are not sufficiently
broad then I am strongly In favor OF
80 increasing the powers Of those
bodies that they may be able to dea.
effectively with the regulation Of
rates. ...... .....
Fairly Entitled to Party Support
For several years my name has
been mentioned in connection with
the governorship, In 1901 and 1907
[ was urged by thousands of my
friends throughout the state to enter
the field aid announce myself as g
candidate. Ihad pledged my word
and honor to Governor Van SAINT
that would support him for E
| second term and I turned deaf cal
to the entreaties Of my friends anc
absolutely refused to be a candidate
or to permit my friends to make me
a candidate. Had I not believed that
there was demand for my candid
acy certainly would not have en-
tered the race this year. L made
fan, honorable fight for the nomina
ton and won, It is claimed by some
of my opponents that | was nominal
ed by my unfair tactics. | hold in
my hand a certificate signed by
Charles W. johnson, secretary Of
the recent republican state CONVEX
ton, which certified that on the test
vote I had 6325 votes, while the
combined opposition had only 450a
votes. In other words, [ had 3399
votes more than a majority of the
whole convention, and therefore 33a
votes more than enough to nomin'
ate.
If the voters of the state see fit to
ratify the action of the republican
state convention by electing me
governor, I shall conscientiously
endeavor to discharge every duty that
may devolve upon me to the best OF
my ability and without fear or favor,
in the interests of the people.

Our school will open October
3rd, with Prot. j. M. Afford prin-
cipaI. He has been our principal
fol years and has given entire sat
isfaction. We will have quite a
number of boarding pupils again
this year. Prof. Afford loses no
time in preparing boys and girls
to meet the demands of life.
Prof. Z. w. Bowman, one Of
our old pupils and prominent
young teachers of the county, has
gone to Valparaiso, Ind, to take .
special training course. He writes
us that the school has enrolled
more than 1900 pupils and that
he is well satisfied. Prof. Afford
has made Of him a good teacher,
but Linus wishes to rest nowhere
this side Of the top.
Prof. Affords mother has been
very sick fol some time; but I'M

DOCTOR FEARS HE'LL
Be BURIED ALIVE
Case of Or. Patrick H. Collins
Deemed Most UnusaI Form
of DeIusion.

NEW YORK, May 9.-Fearing that
ne will be buried alive or dissected
while self-hypnotized, DR., Patrick III.
Collins, dreamer, student and lecturer
on hypnotism, lies in the psychopathic
ward of Bellevue hospital under the
care of DR.. Parker, the noted alienist,
who considers the case the most unus-
ual and interesting in his experience.
intense application to higher research
in medicine and hypnotiSm has so
preyed on the mind Of DR.. Collins that
he now is either capable Of self-hypnot-
ism or is suffering from a peculiar de-
fusion.
DR.. Collins is of good stature, with
a fine head, the reflective eyes of the
scholar and dreamer and the bearing
of a man of birth and education. Yet
he is imbued with the9i idea that he has
become the slave of his own unusual
hypnotic powers.
Constant contemplation on the sub
Ject of hypnotism probably has caused
DR.. Collins strange condition. said DR..
Packer. He imagines he is the victim
of self-hypnosis. On all other subjects
he is rational He told me today on
awakening after a peaceful sleep, after
his voluntary committal last night, that
he passed the most restful night in
weeks
Can a condition of self-hypnosis
exist? was asked of DR.. Packer.
Il do not believe So" was the reply.
"At least, there is no authenticated
record of such a phenomenon. It is
a delusion of the patient and can be
regarded only as an indication of i'm
paired faculties.
Physically, DIR. Collins is in good
condition, and tells me that he does not
wish to die. Indeed, he says he fears
death
He fears that he will induce hyp-
motto condition in himself and that
while in such state he will be buried
alive or become a victim of the sur
geon's knife. Such a thing would be
impossible, but that is his firm opin-
ion."
DR.. Gertrude Mack, the childhood
friend of DR.. Collins, and whose apart
nlents at The Irvington, 4O8 Central
Park West, DR.. Collins left on Sunday
night to enter Bellevue, was out of
town, but her mother, Mrs. George
Anderson, said her daughter had heard
of DR.. Collins strange plight and
would be back today to give him all
the aid in her power.

RADIUM ON PATIENTS
NOSE LOST OR STOLEN
Physician Complains That $500 Worth
of Valuable Drug Disappears.

CHICAGO, May 9.-Dr. A. w. Busey,
who has offices in the Dyche building,
has complained to the police at central
station of the loss of phial of radium
which he says he permitted a charity
patient to take away from his offices
glued to his nose.
He says that before the radium had
worked a cure for the disease for which
the man was being treated it either fell
from his nose and was lost or was sto-
len.
The doctor says that a week ago he
was asked to treat a man for a dis
ease which demanded "radium treat
ment." He immeditely glued phial
of the radium, valued at about $500, to
the mans nose, he says, and sent him
upon his way.
The man returned a short time later
to say that the radium was lost. DR..
Pusey does not know whether the sub
stance has been lost or he is the victim
of persons who wish to obtain possess
sion Of the missing phial Of radium.

GUARD THE HOME
OF JOKER'S VICTIM
Detectives Protect Citizen Who Is Be.
sieeed by Tradesmen and Artisans.


NEW YORK, May 9.-Besieged by
tradesmen and artisans sent to his
home by some person with a sense of
humor with which he is not in SYM
pathy, George c. Lemcke, of 47S De-
catur street, Brooklyn, has appealed to
the polee for protection.
For ten days the ting-a-ling of his
bell has never ceased. Two detectives
now pace the sidewalk in front of his
door.
Some joker is having a lot of fun
with me, l guess" said Mr.. Lemcke.
'"The thing started ten days ago, when
/ was aroused at daylight by several
decorators from New Jersey. They had
postal card ordering them to come
to my house to do some work Of
course sent them away. An hour later
two plumbers came with another card.
Then a furniture van unloaded a lot
of stuff at my door and / had trouble
convincing the1 men the goods were
not for me. rs&
"Since then each day, bright and
early, have had, to jump out to shoe
away the groceryman, or the butcher,
or baker. A messenger boy came with
a rubber. plant. My patience is ex-
hausted; my wife is distracted. l have
taken the bell out, but still they come.
We have had perambuIators, wash
tubs, tinware and what not.
"Oh, yes, it is a good joke Ha! Hal
1t is very funny-to the one who is
doing 1t, but to me it Is no joke"
