ADMITS BOND THEFT.
NEW YORK BANK EMPLOYE
MAKES CONFESSION.
Trust Company President Performs
Feat in Detective Work-Twenty-
four ''Black Hand Cases Co on
Trial In WfIkesbarre, Pa.

Organizing his bank staff into detec-
tive force. with himself as the directing
head, Oakleigh Thorne. president of the
Trust Company of America. in New York,
brought about the arrest of W. O. Doug
lass. an employe, on a charge of stealing
railroad bonds valued at S50,000 from the
company's vaults. To remarkable case
which combined all the elements of de-
tective story of fiction. was added SEN
sational arrest of Douglass at 2 80 in
the morning, in a West Forty-seventh
street hotel. where Douglass with his
wife were dodgers for the night. In a
signed confession made soon after his ar
rets, Douglass injected mystery into the
case by saying he had, in the last few
weeks, taken S250000 instead of $4,000,
and that he had lost a large part of it
IN stock speculation and on the races.
Mr.. Thorne denied this. lie declared a
thorough examination of all the securities
to which Douglass had access showed that
he had got away with only $4,000 in
bonds of the Chicago Rock Island and
Pacific railroad. In his confession Doug
less said the $4,000 in bonds which he
took on Friday had been left as security
for credit with A. NJ bennett & Co. of
40 Wall street. He declared he had
bought stock through that firm, and that
he expected to get back the bonds and
restore them TO the vaults.

droning serves the double purpose of
bringing on the hypnotic state and at the
same time making the patient feel at ease,
and that there is to be no scolding or
cross-examination, the subject of CONVEX
sation being such as to soothe the person
under treatment and turn her thoughts to-
ward cheerful matters AS soon as the
hypnotic slumber ensues certain admoni-
lions are given to the sleeper in a sharp
err more decided tone, assuring her that
definite changes will take place in her dis
position that will make her better and
happier, care being taken to first ascer-
tain the particular bent of mind or tai
ent, II any exists so that her energies
can be directed along the lines of natural
fitness. This discourse is repeated several
times
The good effect the doctor says, is i'm
mediate, and usually lasting. although
| there are occasional lapses. In such
cases, however, the second treatment is
apt to be more effective and permanent
in its results than the first. 1t is not
claimed that it will heal a physical le-
sion, All that Dr. Quackenbos claims is
that by suggestion in hypnosis one can
make man do anything physically posi-
BILE and morally right. 1t brings about,
he says, a physiological as we'll as a
psychological change of being He con-
tends that there is in every person what
Prof. James. calls the higher spiritual
self" and St. Paul denominates the
''inner man." which, when aroused by
suggestion. is stronger than any passion
or appetite.

Mexican Earthquake known to Have
Affected Wide Territory.
Late news from the area of destruction
in the recent Mexican earthquake shows
that the devastation wrought was greater
than at first supposed. Besides the de-
struction of the cities of Chilpancingo
and Chilapa it is now reported that the
city of Tixtla, between the two cities
above named and containing about the
same population as Chilpancingo, was
also leveled to the ground, and messen-
gers from the coast who have reached
Chilpancingo say that the towns of Ayut-
la and Ometepec have been wiped off the
map. Ayutla is one of the most historic
towns in the republic.
Cmetepec is farther south, near the
boundary line of the States of Fuerrero
and Oaxaca. 1t is town of about 1000
inhabitants and it is feared that the loss
of life here may be heavier than at
Ayutla. Tlapa, town eighty miles west
of Chilpancingo and near the border line
of the State of Oaxaca, is also reported
to have been wiped out. The report from
Chilpancingo says that the whole of the
west coast from Acapulco south TO Salina
tepec National railway, Mexico's new
transcontinental road, which was opened
with elaborate ceremonies last January
by President Diaz, has been badly dam
aied.
1t is reported that Acapulco is partly
submerged from. the great waves which
dashed over the breakwaters. Although
no breath Of wind was stirring on the
night of the first shock, when the earth
began to tremble. the sea was dashed into
a fury and as the shocks continued the
harbor look on the appearance of a ty-
phoOn-swept ocean.
Devastation wrought by the earth
quakes is much greater than at first re-
ported. Many more than 500 are believ-
ed to be dead. Reports summarize the
damage as follows:

In view of the fact that the present

years must elapse before all our coast de-
