POSSESSED OF DEVILS"

Spirits Possess Mrs. Romadka.
Chicago, Oct. 10. Mrs. Charles j.
Romadka, wife of Milwaukee mill
lionaire, who confessed she was bur-
glar, is possessed Of devils,' accord
ing to DR.. Axei Gustafson, who attend
ed her, and DR.. Sheldon Leavitt. They
say so in all seriousness. DR.. Leayitt
Is well known practitioner and con-
nected with numerous medical socie-
ties and Chicago hospitals. Both ply
sicians do not hesitate to express the
belief that the woman is under the in
fiuence of "disembodied spirits.'
This woman when herself was all
woman should be-" said DR.. Gustaf-
son. "When another spirit overpower-
ed her personality she was what the
police declare her to be-" DR.. Leavitt,
whom DR. Gustafson consulted, said
in his letter of reply:
Il have found enough to justify your
belief and mine that it is another case
of obsession, as 1t is commonly called
possession as l am disposed to call
1t. BY the orthodox medical specialist
| suppose it would be regarded as a
case Of dementia. The term obsession,
as used by the latter, signifies mere
delusion, no evil spirit being recog-
nized by him as actually existing. But
to certain of us who have returned to
the more archaic diagnosis it is sup
posed to mean what the term posses
sion better expresses. l really believe
that modern scientific psychical re-
search has gone far enough to justify
the assumption of such a state in
many cases heretofore classed under
various heads, but more particularly
under that of dementia."

JUDGE FoRr NO DoDGER.


Judge Fort has peremptorily dis
missed the excise. question as an issue
of the campaign, but before doing Sc
made it plain enough to admit of nc
cavil as to where he stood on the Bish-
ops bill. 1t was at New Brunswick
on Thursday night, when he made the
following statement:
II have made somegstatements dur
ing this campaign on subject which
does not seem to down. Everyone
seems to be calling for something
more and more on the excise question.
Now want to make statement
here tonight which will settle irrev-
vocably my position upon that ques-
tion. And upon which in this cam
paign, win or lose, up or down, sur
vive or perish, propose to stand in
this contest.
1.-THE Bishops bill will not be re-
pealed in New Jersey No party dare
favor it's repeal. 1t is advance legisla-
tion on the regulation of the sale of
liquor. 1t was passed in respone to
the demands of the moral ami relig-
ious sense of the people of the State of
New Jersey to correct existing abuses.

sent to its repeal, And, knowingN my

REV. JOHN r. MASON, the Prohibi-
tion candidate for Governor is also
named by petition by Alden Freeman
and others asan independently In agree
ing to accept the later nomination,
Mr.. Mason has subscribed to plat
form that covers many of the issues of
The campaign in a forceful manner,
but his most notable declaration is
that in regard to excise. Mr.. Mason
declares that he. stands unalterably IN
favor of the " bishops law" He
promises that, if elected Governor, he
will use every influence at his COM
mand to keep that act upon the stat
ute books. Besides that, he solemnly
pledges that if the Legislature passes
any measure in any way letting down
the bars that now safeguard the pres
ervation oil the American Sunday, he
will interpose veto. If Mr.. Mason's
position on the excise question has
been correctly stated, he ought to
withdraw, and unite his forces with
those of the Republican party. His
position and that of the Repub-
lican candidate apparently do not
differ. What is the use, un der
the circumstances, of maintaining
a separate party? The vote of the
Prohibition party for Governor
in 1904 was 6,6S7. Why not put the
Prohibition vote where it will do some
good 1t may be that the Prohibi-
tion forces will be needed to swing
the State for law and order. To main
tain separate party when the end
for which both organizations are striv-
ing is the same is a dissipation of
power and a foolhardy approach to
the practical problems Of government.
