LONDON. March 27.-The CORE
sponuent at s.. Petersburg of the Daily
Mail. reports that he accepted tie in
vitation of Finance Minister Kokovosoff
TO inspect the reserves OF gold in the
state bank and describes his visit to
that institution. He says:
THE bank officials made much cere-
mony of unlocking the gates of the
strong rooms, but the actual view of
1926, 900. 900 of gold was found gu
premely uninteresting, tedius and de-
pressing spectacle. Over 1880 sacks
of gold com, stacked 10 rows on the floor
of the long vault. looked no more i'm
pressive than sacks Of merchandise in
an ordinary war house. whilst Is 9l3

than the shelves OF an iron monger's
store. 1t had the effect of dado in
subdued yellow tone, not unattractive
as a color scheme.taken in combina-
ton with the gray canvas sacks and the
white ceiling.
1.-THE officials invited the correspond
ent TO count and verify the contents of
the sacks and shelves. That naturally
was impossible, but he had not the
slightest doubt that the amount repre-
sented in the reserve figures was there"

Several months before the fire the
Traders, one of the strong companies,
withdrew from the State and rensured
all risks in tie Anchor Company of
Cincinnati. After the fire the Anchor
special came to Columbia and refused
to pay the policies on the ground that
dynamite had been kept in the STORE.

responsible. The Traders Company had
to stand formal suit so as to have a
strong clam against the Anchor. Judg-
inert for the full amount-S4 ,0O0-and

SCIENTISTS PUZZLED.
Strange Case of Coma of Two
Women Claimed TO Be
Mutual Hypnotism.

NEW YORK, March 24.-One of
the most remarkable cases in the ex-
perience of the doctors of the Presby-
terlan Hospital in this city ended
today in the death of Miss Luella
Huestis, of Mt Vernon, who. with
her mother, Mis-. James II. Houestis,
had been in trance for fifteen days
PRIOR to her death. More than two
weeks ago both of the women we've
found unconscious in the home of
Henry W. Heller, lawyer of this city,
and were supposed TO have been
4sphyxiated by gas. Neither had since
recovered consciousness and physicians
were puzzled by their unaccountable
coma
Miss Huestis was an attractive young
woman, aged % years.
A singular fact is that the young
woman S mother, who lay in an ad-
joining room. began to show signs of
the approach of death soon after the
death of her daughter Like her
daughter. the mother also is greatly
emaciated. and the physicians at the
hospital say that her low vitality is
due principally TO starvation.
One specialist In hypnotism and
psychology, who investigated the case,
has made public his conclusion that
the two women had unconsciously
hypnotized each other and that gas
asphyxiation had nothing to do with
the case. he explained that he had
himself been hypnotized while hypno-
tIzlng patient and had only been
awakened by the arousing of the sub
ject. The case of the two women has
attracted the attention OF scientists all
over the country.

Marshfeld Agitated Over Repeated
rhefts by Supposed Klepto-
maniac.

MARSHFIELD. Wis, Dec. 16.-So-
ciety people are considerably agitated
over repeated thefts at teas, luncheons
and dancing parties held here within
tho past six weeks.
With but one exception the thefts
have been made at lunchcons or teas
where no men were in attendance and
for this reason suspicion points to a fe-
male. The male population, therefore,
exhibits no little qualification in the fact
that they can prove an alibi.
Articles found missing after the
guests depart consist of silver knives
and forks, fancy centerpieces, shawls,
etc. and Notwithstanding the close scru-
tiny that is being kept, the light-tingered
one has so cleverly worked her cards in
society's circles that no one feels in
clned to make public any suspicious
entertained as to the identity.
The exposure of the guilty one may
fathom the larger thefts that have been
recently made in different Marshiied
houses. when jewery, savings banks,
etc, have been stolen, the whole aggre-
eating several hundred dollars

MAHINETTE. Wis, Dec. 1G.-ISpe-
cial. THE mortality among the Indians
of Oneida reservation is double that of
the whites in Marinette county. While
there are q number Of Indians on the
reservation who are in the SOS and still
robust. the younger generation does not
appear to have the physique of the past
generations. ScrofulOus disease works
havoc in the tribe and is largely respon-
sible for its physical downfall,
Up to 1902 it was impossible to keep
track of the births and deaths on the
reservation and only those were recorded
that were heard Of, but during the past
three years an effort has been made to
have all cases reported. The figures
show that during the past year there
have been forty deaths among the In
dams. AS the total population on the
reservation is about 1000, it shows a
death rate of twenty to each lOOO.
There were 100 births on the reservation
the past year. There are now two In
dian physicians on the reservation.
