In regard to money, it goes on to

The report continues
Business is generally reported to be

ing The case. which has baiiled the
greatest psychologists, has been under
the investigation of DIR. Albert Wilson,
a brain specialist Of high standing, who
has followed it from the time the girl
was first affected, nearly ten years ago
until now. Most cases Of more than
one personality are limited To the com
mon dual personality. This girl has no
sense of the lapse Of time between her
personalities. The people she meets in
one personality are complete strangers
to her when she is under the dominant
sway of another personality. When in
one state she learned to swim, but when
she passed to another state she declared
she had never seen the water and that
she was totally unable to swim. Her
handwritings in her various states are
totally different. Among her different
personalities, some Of the more interest
ing we're those in which she thought
herself thing and not a person; that
in which she developed into a blind i'm
beetle, although when in this state she
could draw, not an ordinary accomplish
ment Of hers; that in which she became
deaf mute and was taught to talk
with her fingers; that in which she
claimed she was only three years old
and during which stage she spelt all her
words backwards; that in which she
showed terrible fear Of everybody, in
Gliding her parents.
The various personalities did not re.
occur with any logical sequence. DR.
Wilson is very confident that the per

soNApARrE REFUSES ADVICE.

Ii has been made clear that Attorney
General Bonaparte, asked to appoint
government counsel TO defend the
suits restraining the Oklahoma cleo
tion, has refused.
lie has been asked for legal advice
to enable the people of Oklahoma TO
comply with the government view of
the sitlation and withheld consent.
This places the department on a
strictly non-commitfal basis.
The constitution Is now known to
the department If there are any
reasons which in the opinion of the
attorney general and the President
are sufficient to warrant the Presi-
dent ia Withholding his proclamation
they should be indicated. that they
might be remedled without the ex-
pense of an election and without en-
dangering statehood.
There are apparently two fairly
reasonable inferences:
First, that the President viii make
his proclamation IL the constitution is
adopted; or, second, that the Presi-
dent withholds his objections and puts
himself in a position to deal death
blow to statehood after the adoption
of the constitution.
The latter is at present regarded as
incredible and being too far beneath
the dignity Of a President of the
United States to be entertained.
