in A TRANCE
FIFTEEN DAYS
Singular Case of Mother and
Daughter Which Has End
ed in Death of the Latter
HYPNOTIsM SUGGESTED
Specialist of Opinion That
They Ignorantly Brought
About Each Others State

NEW YORK, March 24-One of the
most remarkable cases in the expert
ence Of the doctors of the Presbyterian
Hospital in this city ended to-day in
the death of Miss Luella Huestis OF
Mount Vernon, who with her mother.
Mrs. James H. Huestis. had been in a
trance for fifteen days prior to her
DEATH More than two weeks ago both
of the women were found unconscious
In the home of Henry w. Helfer, a
lawyer of this city. and were supposed
to have been asphyxiated by gas.
physicians and hypnotists were puzzled
by their unaccountable coma Miss
Huestis was an attractive young wo-
man. aged 20 years.
Lack of nourishment was the prin-
cipal cause of her death, as 1t was
impossible to give her food except In
liquid form and through tube Sttm-
ulants and oxygen were administered
without effect.
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 daugh-
ter, the mother also is greatly ema-
ciated and the physicians at the hos
pital say that her low vitality is due
principally to starvation.
A specialist in hypnotism who in
vestigated 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 hypnotizing a patient and had
only been awakened by arousing OF the
subject. The case of the two women
has attracted the attention of scien-
fists all over the country.

serentv-Per Center Arrives.

After mere ups and downs than the rein
surance market has seen for many days the
French bark Francois, quoted at 40 per cent
and heavily played AT this port TO arrive has
reached her destination. She left here Sc ptem-
ber- for RuncOrn. Nothing heard of her
from The time she left until she was reported
as having passed the Azores. Before word Of
this Speaking was reported the Francois was
long overdue and was quoted for reinsurance
al 50 per cent Under a heavy play the rate
dropped 10 50 Der cent. Then came word OF
her having been spoken and the rate dropped
70 per cent No further news was heard of
her and the rate began 10 climb until Ii
reached 25 per cent Two days ago a cable
gram from London tod that the reported
speaking was in all probability an error and
the rate jumped to 70 per cent. Yesterday
the Francois reported safe at Liverpool
and the local reinsurance speculators who made
the most Of the various phases of the Francois
strangely huctuating rate drew down the kind
OF dividends that make speculation attractive.
Mere ;han $3.50 600 is said 10 have been made
by the psople in this city who backed their
faith IN the French bark's safety with their
coin
The Eskasoni is still quoted at 10 per cent.
Three steamers were placed the overdue
list yesterday. all at per cent The Spanish
steamship Olita is out twenty-nine days from
New Orleans FOR Rotterdam: the Danish steam
er II, c. Holm is out twenty-one days from
Norfolk for Asrsuus and the British steamer
Lindisfarne is out twenty-one days from Balti-
more for Newport.

Water-Logged Coast
er Picked Up by
the ChehaIis.
Vessels Log Tells Of
Hard Fight to Save
Graft.

Somewhere between here and Cape
Flattery, with no human hand to guide
her course, the water-logged hull Of
the schooner c. A Klose is drifting
about looking for some sheltered cove
in which to lay her bones or waiting
for a storm to rend asunder her
planks and send her to rest in the
shape Of drift wood. On some other
part Of the ocean the men that manned
the schooner and who left her only
after heart-breaking but futile at
temps TO pump out the water which
poured in through her opening seams
had failed, may be suffering hardships,
perhaps facing death in open boats.
The steam schooner Chehalis, which
arrived yesterday at Grays Harbor,
reports that on March %, off Hecla
Heads, she picked up the schooner C.
A Klose, abandoned and in a water
logged condition. Men from the Che
halls boarded the derelict and in the
cabin found the Klose's log. From en-
tries there il was learned that a hard
fight had been made to save the
schooner, but that the pumps had
availed nothing against the thrush Of
water. When all hands were exhausted
IL was decided to abandon the vessel.
The Chehalis made fast a line to the
derelict, but the hawser soon parted
and as it was dark and stormy the at
tempt to earn salvage was given up
and the deserted schooner left to her
fate.
The c. A. Klose, Captain Wagner,
left Astoria March 13 for this port.
She is owned here by A w. Beadle.
She was built in 1902 at Alameda and
is q vessel Of $40 tons net register.
OF the fate of the men who aban-
dOned the schooner nothing is known
That they will reach land is probable,
as the schooner was within forty miles
Of the shore when they left her. and
although the weather has been stormy,
no terrific gales have been reported
within the last few days. They left
the schooner prepared to take care Of
themselves. 1t is possible they may
o. have been picked up by some passing
vessel, in which event it may be days
before anything is heard of them.
Though anxious in the absence of any
news, A. w. Beadle thinks Captain
Wagner and his men are all right and
expects to hear from them at any mo-
ment.
Meanwhile the derelict is a serious
menace to navigation and shipping
men are again casting eyes at the rev.
enue cutters lying idle at SauSalito and
wondering whether one of them will
not be dispatched to clear the seas
Of this dangerous wanderer
The tug Dauntless left this city last
night at o'clock to make an effort
10 save the water-logged craft.

Beef Trust

CHICAGO, March 24.-Specific in
formation regarding shipping, mar
keting and prices of cattle was sought
to-day by the special Grand Jury
which is investigating the combination
of packers. Michael Murphy, general
manager of the Cudahy Packing Com
pany at South Omaha, Sioux City and
Kansas City, was before the inquisi-
tors and shed some light upon the
subjects under consideration.
They asked me first about the
packing business in general" Murphy
said. Then they took up the sub
ject of marketing and asked all the
details of it. They inquired into the
shipping of cattle and beef. Their
questions did not point to an investi-
CATION relative to railroads. Then
they went into the subject Of prices"

Compulsory Arbitration.

CHICAGO, March 24.-Manufactur-

advised at to-days convention of the

Ohio.
Arbitration has proved a failure

tration and take any chances of hav-
ing to surrender half of what / have:
then at the next hold-up TO surrender
half of what / have left, and so on
until everything I ever had Is gone ?"

CHICAGO, March 24.-An over

Chicago Federation of Musicians to be
threatening Chicago. Consequently
the union proposes to relieve the situa-
ton by establishing a limitation of
output"
n President T. F. Kennedy of the
Musicians Union has prepared a list
of all theaters and concert and dance
halls in the city, together with the
seating capacity and size of each. The
next step will be to establish a mini

will be allowed to play in the various
places. BY this method Of restriction,
it is hoped, the musical output of each
man will be checked.

Last Saturday Assessor Telch

Last Saturday Assessor Telcher
received on taxes nearly Sill 900.
To gather in this great sum Of
money, with what had already
been paid, is necessarily a great
drain on the circulating medium
and there is a strong desire among
many to see some legislation where.
by the time and manner Of paying
taxes may be changed. In Oregon
taxes are paid on the installment
plant one payment being made in
the spring and one in the fall.
This has greatly decreased the
number of delinquents and seems
to be popular plan. In this state
taxes become delinquent on the
first Of January, just the time
when most other obligations have
to be met and frequently causes
serious inconvenience.
