taking a regular treatment, finding to my
great relief that my general health began to

Bureau Has Much to Learn
WOMAN IS SENT TO ASYLUM
spirituaIst Says She Hears Voices of
Departed Friends and Is De-
cIared Insane

Miss Marie Baggenstein, a Spiritual
list, was committed to the Patton in
sane asylum yesterday by order of the
insanity commission IN Judge Gibbs
department of the superior court.
The woman came here from st. Louis
several years ago and while here has
been a servant at the home of James
Morley, the former manager of the
baseball association.
She testified in court that she heard
voices, but attributed the voices more
to her belief in Spiritualism than to
any physical trouble. She told the
court that one of her brothers had
committed suicide but that the other
members of her family, some of whom
live in st. Louis and others in Switzer-
land, We're all sane.
Miss Gabbenstein's record showed
her to have been an inmate OF a st.
Louis institution for insane for ten
years.

PURSUES WOMAN WITH KNIFE
Officers Say Man Is Mentally De-
ranged and Might Have Killed
His Victim

A man giving his name as Ambrose
l.. Cotter and alleged to be insane,
pursued one of the mattresses in the
dining room of the Sunset hotel, 312
East Seventh street, with a long
butcher knife last night.
Excepting for the timely arrival of
the police, who heard the cries of the
people in the eating place, the woman
might have been killed, as no one in
the restaurant dared approach the mad
man. The police surgeons at the re-
ceiving hospital, where Cotter was
taken say that he is mentally de-
ranged, and that he has been in the
hospital before. He is an electrician.

Only Coincidence
HE was informed that there could
not possibly be any connection between
the two phenomena. No connection
between them, I suppose, because no
geologist had ever traced a subter-
ranean channel between Italy and Cal
ifornia; because a distinct mechanical
push or pull could not be traced be-
tween the two localities; because, for
sooth, Nature had not tagged and Ia
beled the two phenomena, I'VE are
brothers" 1t evidently did not occur
to the scientist of the signal service
to inquire whether some great over
powering cause might be responsible
for both of the disasters. In the ca
lamity which visited Salvador, South
America, on the Goth of last month,
we are informed that, during the prev
alence of the most terrific hurricane
known for fifty years, the volcano
Chula, without a moments warning,
burst forth, spouting tons and tons of
boiling, lphur-impregnated water.
What would our signal service man
say to this? No connection between
the hurricane and the volcanic erup-
tion, and both occurring Simultaneous
ly? A mere coincidence? What of the
destruction or Salvador in 1854 when
1t was visited simultaneously by hur-
ricans and an earthquake? Another
mere coincidence, and no common
cause?
Bureau Has Much to Learn
'The fact is that the weather bureau
scientists have much to learn-they
have dropped to the rear of the pro-
cession; and it is time that they were
up and doing. They should give some
attention to the larger cosmic influ-
ences which dominate all sorts of dis
turbances upon our earth and which
bring them trooping along together
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions torna-
does, hurricanes-in one great family
of disasters, such as we have been ex-
periencing this year."

apparently about 45 years of age, was
found today in the gutter at the corner
of Twenty-first street and Calumet avenue,
In the heart of one of the fashionable res

the corpse, but the police are unable yet
to state whether It was a case of murder

OF the man are the initials "A. F."

near him. The hat bears the name OF

British High Court of Justice Passes
on Case of Two
Americans.

LONDON. Feb. a.-The validity OF a
Dakota divorce in England was today
affirmed by Sir John Gorrell Barnes, Judge
of the divorce court division of the high
court of Justice
The question was raised In the case OF
Mrs. Armytage, who petitioned the court
to declare her marriage to Edward Army
tage valid. She formerly was the wife of
Charles Gillig, an American living in Lon
don and North Dakota and South Dakota
where she obtained a divorce on the
ground of desertion and subsequently mar
ried Mr. Armytage. Mr.. Gillig also re-
married. but last year began proceedings
to nullify his marriage on the ground that
the divorce which his first wife obtained
in South Dakota was not binding upon
him and that consequently his second mar
riage was invalid.
Justice Barnes has now decided against
Mr.. Gilig's contention.
