cute a suit he has instituted to get con-
troll of his property he will do so at the
risk of being reincarcerated as lunat1c,
according to a decision by Judge Hough

Judged insane in the supreme court in
this city and committed to an asylum.
Thomas 7. Sherman was appointed
committee to take charge Of Chanler and
his estate.
Chanler escaped to Virginia. He in
voked the aid of the courts, which de-
clared him sane and competent to have
control of his property The latter, how
ever, being still in possession of the su-
preme courts committee of this state,
Mr. Chanler brought suit in the federal
court of this district to force Mr.. Sher-
man to restore to him his estate Fear
ing that If he returned to prosecute his
action he would be seized and again re-
manded to the insane asylum, Mr.. Chan
ler, through counsel, last week petitioned
Judge Hough to grant an order restrain
ing the supreme court and it's officers
from interfering with him should he ap-
pear in New York. This Judge Hough
declined to do in his decision handed
down today.

GREENWICH. Conn. Aug. 7.-Resi-
dents of the village Of Pemberwick ard
nearby hamlets are stirred up over the
advent Of a man and woman calling
themselves field missionaries of the
Apostolic Faith"
Their revival meetings have been well
attended and stories which hinted at
probable witchcraft and hypnotism have
so inflamed the country folk that their
safety Is threatened. Sunday night a mob
gathered and some one threw a bomb,
filled with liquid, into the room in which
a meeting was In progress. The liquid
burned the missionaries and filled the
room with a gas that almost suffocated
those present
Monday night another crowd tore down
O. tent In which the missionaries had
taken UP quarters and the torch was ap-
piled.
The missionaries describe themselves as
Brother Adolph de Rosa, a Portuguese,
and Sister Lucy M. Leatherman, formerly
missionary in the Holy Land. They
deny that they practice hypnotism in the
generally accepted sense of that term.
They attribute the partial trance state of
their devotees at meetings to religious
fervor Those who have been converted
to the apostolic faith in Pemberwick and
vicinity defend the missionaries.
De Rosa, whose life has been threat
ened and who is now guarded by officers
from Greenwich, in speaking of the
charges made against him said:
Claim to Cast Out Devils
1--WE believe that our apostles have the
power of casting out devils and of heal
ing. We do not practice hypnotism
Those brothers and sisters who were seen
upon the floor in the parlor were held by
a spell of religious fervor. I am going to
leave these parts Immediately and sail
for Portugal"
Mrs. Leatherman, who says she Is
widow and that she formerly lived In
Clinton Falls, Ind, made the following
statement:
~ may be hypnotist but If so 1 prac-
tice only the hypnotism in whieh re-
ligious faith is drilled. 1 have worked
with Mother Baxter in London and other
we'll known missionaries. I met Brother
de Rosa in California after becoming
converted to the apostolic faith.
1--WE believe in the casting out Of devils.
While doing this we may waive our hands
and snap our fingers. This has given rise
to the report that we are hypnotists. We
Will not continue our work further in this
locality"

NEW BATTLESHIP HAS
REMARKABLE SPEED
Connecticut in Series of Tests Makes
Showing Highly Satisfactory
to Admiral Evans and
Trial Board
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
ROCKLAND, Me-, Aug I'm a series
of fourteen runs over measured mile
course outside of the harbor today, the
first-class battleship Connecticut, the
first battleship of the class built by the
government, made a showing which was
highly satisfactory to Rear Admiral Rob-
ley D. Evans and the trial board.
The average speed of the best five runs
was 1878 knots. The number of propel-
Ter revolutions required to make that
speed was 1917.
The fastest mile was in 1901, incorrect
ed. When the trial corrections are made
it is estimated that these figures will be
reduced to 1873. In her five best runs
the Louisiana, sister ship of the Con-
necticut, which was built by the Newport
News Shipbuilding company, attained an
average speed OF 1889.
The trial was marred by a fatal acci-
dent. L. NJ. Turner, a fireman of the
first class who was borrowed from the
battleship Ohio for the test, was killed
by a bucket of ashes falling on him.

JUNCTION CITY, KY, Aug. 7.-Maj.
James Morton, editor of the Hardaman
Free Press, unwittingly went to bed with
a corpse in Junction City last night. He
had missed his train, and going into the
hotel asked for a room. The clerk said
the house was crowded, but assigned the
editor to room with another man. By
mistake the clerk sent him into the
wrong room and the editor quietly dis
robed and got into bed.
Soon a young man and woman came
in and took seats near an open window.
The major thought the procedure strange,
but said nothing. Listening to what they
said he head a remark about sitting up
with the dead. Then he remembered that
his bedmate had not moved, and reaching
over touched his hand. With a yell the
major jumped up with a sheet over him
and rushed out of the room. Believing
that the corpse had come to life the two
watchers broke for another door, and all
met in the office of the hotel for explana-
tions.

OPERATORS
ON A STRIKE
1ContInued from Page one,

first class. I have never been repri-
manded and wherever l have worked
could return.
"At l o'clock this afternoon Chief
Operator Vaughan told me l was dis
charged and advised me to see Superin-
tendent Lamb.
''Mr. Lamb showed me the complaint of
the woman. Her assertions were false
hoods. The statements of the chiefs in
Oakland were more fair 1t was gro
tesque. The complaint that / gave the
woman no time between messages will
make telegraphers smile bit.
"Mr. Lamb said he would take the word
of - loyal operator-meaning strike
breaker-against ten of our men and the
night chief, who is a non-union man.
This statement went a long way toward
making the men walk out. 1 hope the
trouble will be adjusted without delay. /
have, however, nothing to regret on my
own part; no apologies to make"
The Los Angeles telegraphers are not
disposed to blame Superintendent Lamb
or other local officials for the trouble.
They say the acts of San Francisco Of
ficials are responsible for the trouble
At the meeting of the strikers last night
a telegrapher reported that he had been
offered $175 per month to help break the
strike. "Hooray, salaries are going up!'
salary paid in times of peace is $SS.
A strike committee. publicity committee
and entertainment committee were ap-
pointed and other work of organizing for
a protracted struggle carried out.

intendent's office; Horace G. Chace, su-
perinten6ent telegraph Santa Fe Rail
road company; c. c. Hawcroft, all-night
chief; Hal Scott, Santa Fe check boy; e.
]. Shaw, assistant manager.
This force, the strikers say, is totally in
adequate to handle the traffic. Superir-
tendert Lamb described it as a good
force. The men say there is but few of
them capable of working heavy circuits
and the consensus of opinion places Man
ager Miller as the only first-class operator
in the outfit.
1--WE are accepting all kilograms sub
ject to indefinite delay at sender's risk"
said the receiving clerk at the Western
Union counter last night. 1--WE don't
know anything about the strike, but those
are our orders. All kilograms subject in

mission in a decision handed down by
Commissioner Harlan today directing that
beginning on September 10 next the
through rate on wheat from points in
Nebraska to the Pacific coast terminals
should not be more than 65 cents per

The rate now in force on the Chicago,

cents per hundred pounds. rhe COM
mission holds that any rate over the
route in question in excess of 65 cents
per hundred pounds is unreasonable.

Der of the delegates here are Ill.
some of them SO seriously as to

of banquets and the unusually damp
climate have caused a general indispo-
sition, which has not done much in the
way CT keeping tampers in normal form.

ously Ill, suffering from rheumatism. N.
Ribot has the gout in both feet, and

The American proposal for the esta5-
lishment OF permanent court at The
Hague is being discussed by a special
committee today. There is every evil
dence to believe that the institution OF
q permanent court Is assured. The pro-
pOsal is acceptable to all the great
powers. and, while difficulties have
arisen in connection with the appoint
ment Of judges which Will probably pre-
vent the adhesion Of some Of the smaller
countries, the court will be established.
There is need for the tribunal Great
Britain and America alone have enough
cases TO keep II busy for a number Of
years. There is no doubt that once the
court is IN force. the influence and repu-
tation II will establish will attract the
countries who now hesitate to take part
in its establishment.
