RACE SUICIDE WAGES

The publication of the magnifi-
cent scale of increased wages to
which the Washington Water Pow

recently excited much discussion
in this country. 1t is necessary to
go much further for the real reason

SLEPT
| | WEEKS

Mrs. Buelah Hawkins, Los An
geles, Cal. has just finished sleep
Of II hours.
Her case has puzzled the nurses
and physicians who have been at
tending her at local hospital.
When she came out Of her long
slumber she was the shadow of her
former self, but is now taking ON
flesh rapidly, and says she feels
better than for years.
At intervals during her sleep she
says she was conscious of things
going on about her, but could not
move or speak. She says that dur
ing her experience she had the feel
ing her slumber was ia result of
some dominant will, but can think
of no one who would have either
motive or influence to hypnotic
her.

father died, leaving her $4,000.
1t was in the middle of last Sep.
TENDER that Mrs. Brouwer fell sud

her illness as cholera morbus. Two
nurses were called in. They were
a Miss Lippincott and Miss Dud'
ley. Alleging that the doctor was
not treating his wife properly, they
left the place.
DR.. Brouwer called in his friend
and colleague, DR.. H. H. Cate, and
engaged another nurse. Mrs
Brouwer's screams and awful suf'
fering could be <eard in the road
before the house and people gath,
cred and talked. The woman died
after eight days suffering and DR..
Cate signed death certificates for
the coroner and the insurance COM
pany which held a policy upon her
life making her husband benefici-
airy for $1,000 Dr.. Cate said the
woman had died of Bright's dis
ease.
Mysterious incidents surrounding
the death caused the neighbors to
continue their talk after the funer-
al. Their words had reached the
ears of Trevonian Hyer the dead
wOman's devoted brother. He
caused the coroner to order an
autopsy, which revealed the start
ling facts that arsenic in large
quantities had been administered,
and in the womans stomach was
ground glass.
Upon the heels of these revela-
lions 1t came out that the doctor
had quarreled with his wife. She
had complained to him of one of
his women patients, it is said, and
she was Jealous of him. Then, too,
there had been trouble over the
estate of Mrs Brouwer's parents.
Expert physicians declared the
woman had not had Bright's dis

declared that she died of poison.

The investigation Of the conduct
of the police officers in connection

as the Olindo block affair is IN

sioners this afternoon. Until the
time of going to press Ensley, the
informer, and the woman known as
Mrs. Fulton. in whose room Ensley
admits he was during the whole
time that the alleged assault was
being perpertrated, had been ex-
amined.
Ensley told substantially the
same story to the commissioners
as he repeated to all the news
papers In an endeavor to give the
affair all the publicity he thought
it ought to have, but when it came
to being crossexamined by either
the commissioners Or Corporation
Counsel Gerherty he refused to
talk further than to repeat that he
had told the truth. He did, how
ever, admit that he had been ar.
rested, given a fair trial and con
victed on the 9Th day of March in
the police court. He was also
greatly mixed up as to time and

lows:
The time for the Musical Festival is
at hand, and what the Executive Board
have done has not been without rea-
son or purpose, for the culture and re-
finement Of the Richmond public call
ed for the best in music. There is a
chorus of more than two hundred and
fifty, composed exclusively of local
singers, chiefly young ladies and gen
tlemen, under the dire ctorship of Mr..
Earhart, assisted by Mrs. Hunt. This
feature alone is deserving of the en-
cOuragement of all of us, as it fur
nshed the opportunity of instruction
ing of our young people. You can
spend two golden hours at each of the
three concerts. In addition to our
home efforts the Board has selected
the Theodore Thomas Orchestra, and
solOists, the greatest and most import
ant of all organizations in the country,
engaged in this work. Several of the
soloists, after the Richmond Festival,
leave direct for London to fill import

today that some time ago man and
his wife, whom he says he can name
and point out, were in a grocery store
and while there said they were posi-

Governor Goebel for they had been
told by parties known to them who
recently went to Indiana from Ken
lucky that it was in their home that
the plot to kill Governor Goebel was
planned. Because they feared arrest
for completely in the crime they left
the state and moved to Indiana. Hunt
says he knows w here the couple is
