The office of the auditor Of state has
been placed in q wrong position by an
item in one of the local pa pers con-
cerning the report on the fire insurance
business done for the year. The item
stated that the report on losses did not
include the big Sioux City fire and
other big fires. The report on losses
Included every fire of any size UP to
the last day and last hour of the day
OF 1904. The report of the losses paid
did not include the Sioux G ty fire for
the reason that the loss hal not been
adjusted when the auditors report was
made. The auditors report this year

1t was ever gotten out befo' e and the
report Is in every way full and COM
plete. 1t is now in the hands Of the

After Fifteen Days Of lnsensibility-
Physicians Puzzled.
New York, March 24.-One of the
most remarkable cases in the exper-
ience of the doctors of the Presbyter-
ian hospital In this city ended today
in the death OF Miss Luella Huestis. Of
Mt Vernon, who with her mother, Mrs.
James III. Huestis, had been In a
trance for fifteen days prior to her
death. More than two weeks ago the
women were found unconscious in the
home of Henry w. Helfer, a lawyer,
of this city. They were supposed to
have been asphyxiated by gas. Neither
has since recovered consciousness.
Physicians and hypnotists were puz-
.zled by their unaccountable coma. Miss
Huestis was an attractive young wom
an aged 90. Lack OF nourishment ME-
the principal cause of her death. as 1t
had been impossible to give her food,
except in liquid form and thru a tube.
Stimulants and oxygen were admin-
istered without effect. A singular fact
is that the young woman's mother.
who lay in an adjoining room began
to show signs of the approach OF
death soon after the death of her
daughter Like her daughter. the moth
er is also greatly emaciated. Physi-
clans at the hospital say her low vital-
ity is due practically to starvation.
One specialist in hypnotism and psy-
chology, who investigated the case,
has made public his conclusion that
the two women had unconsciously hyp-
notised each other and that gas asphyx-
iation had nothing to do with the case.

AIonzo J. Whiteman cies red Of swind
ling Charge in Buffalo Court.


Buffalo, March "a. - Alonzo j.
Whiteman. former member of the
Minnesota legislature and reputed one
of the most dangerous swindlers and
confidence men Of the century, was
acquitted Of the charge of grand lar
ceny last night. He is said to have
obtained $4,000 on an alleged fraudu-
lent draft deposit with the Fidelity
Trust Company of this city. The jury
was out thirty hours.
Indicted thirty three times for alleg-
ed swindling, the acquittal last night
makes the twenty eighth time ne has
been acquitted. AS in the case of for
mer acquittals Whiteman was clear
ed on technicality. In all of his trials
his own keen legal knowledge has
guided his attorneys.
Held on Other Counts.
AS soon as the verdict was read Dis
trlct Attorney Coatsworth asked that
Whiteman be remanded to Jail on five
other indictments outstanding. This
was done, but as the five are based on
the case just ended the chance for the
state putting Whitemaf behind prison
bars is not considered bright.
Promptly on arrivin;, in his cell
Whiteman obtained permission to
telephone to his home in Dansville, N.
Y, where he made arrangements for
bondsmen. He expects to be released
within the next few days.
Whiteman defeated the indictment
by bringing witnesses TO establish the
fact that the draft was indorsed by
Joseph Boothmap, his alleged accom-
plice and also under Indictment. and
that the money was withdrawn from
the bank by third person.
Makes Dupes Of Others.
Several times in the past Whiteman
is said to have made his accomplices
pull the chestnuts out Of the fire. Rob-
ert j. Knox, considered one of the most
expert forgers in the country, is now
serving a fourteen year sentence in
Indiana for crime which the police
say was engineered BIZ Whiteman.

Deschane1 (republican, former presi-

was the most important since the rev.

OF a religious regime which had exist
ati for five centuries. The interference
OF, religion with politics had been intol-
ei'able while the interference of the
state with the questions of conscience

tire had come to place each on a sep
arate and independent basis M. Des-
chanel referred to the United States
as showing the beneficial effect of
the entire separation of church and

danger OF having Its communications

practicable to attempt to hold the line
y at S,n,yari river. Tsitsihar, three
hundred miles west Of Harbin, is mem
toned by several correspondents in the
fashion to suggest that will be the new
point o. concentration, altho others
speak Of Amur river. A light flying
column OF Japanese cavalry Is report
ed to be moving hastily across country
towards Tsitsihar, while a heavier
column IS going northeast in the direc-
tion Of vladivostock.
one correspondent intimates the
Japanese may adopt the tactics Of re-
slievirlg direct pressure on Linevitch in
the hope Of inducing him to concentrate
as nlr9 as possible below Harbin,
which would give Oyama the advantage
OF preparing his next blow without
greatly lengthening his line of COM

be prepared to place his main army
beyond the reach OF a decisive stroke
while awaiting reinforcements, may
have been taken in order to avoid just
such trap.
