MAN AND WOMAN LOSE
ALL MEMORY OF LIVES
Two of the o6terahon of memory are pDzzl1g ci

her mind became darkened WIan Carlos ,eH dizzy and
lost his mental faculties two days.
aIIs in a Faint
and His Mind is
Darkened.

There is food for the romancist as well
as for the psychologist in the strange
case of William Carlos, an Englishman,
whose memory suddenly became a blank
as he was on his way from the City and
County Hospital to his home on Thurs
day.
Carlos had been patient at the hos
pital, but had been discharged and was
walking TO his home, 36S Sanchez street.
He suddenly became dizzy and fell. When
picked up by a policeman he could give
no account of himself. his entire past be-
coming a blank. He was sent to the de-
tention hospital. where he lay quiet and
memoryless until yesterday, when his
memory picture of the world was sud
denly restored and he wondered where
he was.
After restoration of. his faculties Carlos
gave a clear account of himself, TO the
effect that he left England two years
ago TO seek work in California, as there
was at that time 5000 idle men at his
home in Bradford, Yorkshire. He worked
in restaurants along the water front
until he became i'll, some two months
ago, and was sent to the City and Coun-
ty Hospital.
Application will be made TO the British
Consul in his behalf by the city authorl-
ties.

bunal of the Island Re-
public Is Ruled by Palma

HAVANA. Aug. 6-Jose Miguel Gomez.
Governor of Santa Clara province, and
Liberal candidate for the Presidency OF
Cuba. has given out an interview full OF
defiance to the Palma Government With
reference TO the Vueltas case and the
Cuban Governments assumption Of the
right TO inspect municipalities, without
reference to the provinciar authorities.
Governor Gomez says:
I will not allow any one excepting the pro-
vincial authorities 10 inspect the municipalities
OF this province. Should a municipality be gov

liver justice TO them. II permitted.
III the supreme Court decided against the
contention we are now maintaining we would
not obey its mandates, because OF it's partiality

would Be certain 70 be against US in order TO
increase Its favor with the Government.
He said that of the force of 5000 rural
guards half were inwardIy IN his favor.
Military officers absolutely deny this
statement and say that the only company
of rural guards in which disafection was
shown was that OF Santa clara province,
now removed to Havana, the captain OF
which resigned to avoid being disgraced.
The Moderates profess satisfaction at
Gomezs statement. which they term SEN
sational and reckless. and which. they as

Cubans will never elect a President who
has defied the courts or sought to incul-
cate in the soldiers rebellious spirit

Sudden BIoWRobs
Mrs. Snyder Of
Faculties.

Mrs. Bertha Snyder lies bruised and
torn in the white ward of the Park
Emergency Hospital, her head and arms
swathed in soothing liniments and
bandages, the result of stepping from
one car directly in the path of another
moving rapidly in the opposite direc-
sion at the Cliff House yesterday after
noon.
Strange to relate, the blow from the
speeding car has produced a concussion
of the brain that has destroyed her pow
er of memory, and she lies there on the
iron cot reasking questions that have
been answered her many times over.
why am L here?" she demands of the
nurse in attendance or of her friend, Miss
Anna Sherman. who sits faithfully by
her side Patiently they tell her, and at
that she is satisfied for tie time being.
Then moment later she flashes out the
question, why am l here This is not
my home. Take me there"
With loving tenderness the nurse or
Miss Sherman assures her that she is in
good hands and relates the story of the
accident to her. The same satisfied look
comes for a moment, then again the
question. Thus far into the night Mrs.
Snyder sought to fix the one idea perma-
nently in her troubled brain. but TO no
avail She had lost her power of men,
ory as completely II every event had
been blotted out of her life. and at last
she fell asleep from sheer exhaustion.
The concussion has probably left
blood clot on the brain, which must be
removed before Mrs. Snyder will regain
the full use of her mind. The operation
has been often accomplished, but 1t is a
dangerous one.
The accident happened on the car line
just below the Cliff House. Mrs. Snyder,
young woman who has been employed
with the Goldberg Bowen Company, was
riding out to the beach to enjoy the holi-
day, as was her wont on Sunday after
Moons With her was Miss Sherman, a
friend who lives in the same apartments
at 1l0 Hyde street Miss Sherman got off
the car first, crossing the adjoining track.
Mrs Snyder was just behind her, but as
she stepped on the track car headed
downtown crashed into her, throwing her
to one side.
She was picked up unconscious and
taken to the Park Emergency Hospital.
There she soon revived, but her power
of memory was gone. She knew nothing
OF the accident and she could not under
stand why she was there.
Miss Sherman asserts that she heard
no bell from the oncoming car She says
that 1t was coming very fast. Both
women got off on the wrong side. DR..
Stevens, who attended the woman, pro-
nounces her condition serious.

ARMY OFFICERS
WILL TESTIFY
Shoulder Strapped Friends
of Major Taggart to
Take the Witness Stand
SURE OF VINDICATION
Woman Declares That When
Her Side Is Heard Her
Name Will Be Cleared
Special Dispatch to The call.


WOOSTER, Ohio, Aug ga number of
out-of-town persons who are to give tes-
timony in the Taggart divorce. suit ar
rived here to-day and are expected to be
called to the stand tomorrow Attorney
Wertz announced to-day that several
army officers will poStive1y come here
and testify in Taggart's belalf. One OF
these officers, Wertz said, is from Pitts
burg.
Major Taggart spent the day in Orr
willie with his parents. on going there
last night he asked permission to take
his two boys with him, but was refused
by Mrs Taggart She finally relAnted and
allowed him TO take their six-yeAr+ old
son, stipulating, however, that the young
ster must be back by noon Sunday Tag
gare promised and the little chap came
back on time.
That money has been spent In hiring de-
tectives and Is still being paid out was
demonstrated here this morning. On the
train which reached the CITY early yes
terday evening came an officer OF the
United States army and hrs wife to visit
a relative, John H. Mowery, The officer
had barely started for the Mowery home
ere one of the sleuths was on his trail
and followed the captain and his wife
to their destination and shadowed the
house for a number of hours The de-
tective was noticed and was told that the
ma1i, although an officer in the army
knew nothing of the case. 1t was further
explained to him that Mowery had never
seen Captain or Mrs. Taggart.
But few more than half of the wit
nesses called by Captain Taggart have
as yet been on the witness, stand, and 1t
is believed that 1t will take at least three
DAYS longer to hear the evidence he has
to offer to prove the charges against Mrs
Taggarts honor. A sharp legal tilt is
expected on Monday in the Mayor
Court, where the trial Of Perry Rope
charged with perjury by Mrs. Taggart,
is to take place. Mrs. Taggart this
evening gave out an interview, in which
she said:
LAS you know, up TO this time and for
several days yet you will hear only the
worst that can be said of a woman, the
most unfortunate woman in the world
When my side is heard opinion will
change, and I will be vindicated. l came
here with my boys for the sole purpose
and for the sake of clearing from my
boys the stigma incident to the divorce
proceedings. All this / will accomplish
by the help, of God.
Mrs. Taggart at the same time made q
strong defense of the wives of officers OF
the United States army. declaring that
these women were grossly maligned, and
that their lives, as a ruIe. were as I'D
right as those of women in all walks OF
