FOUND GUILTY OF ,
KILLING MOTHER-IN-LAW

Karlsruhe. July 24.-harl Iiau, a
brilliant young law professor OF
Washington, ID. c., was condemned TO
death early last evening after a fVe
wife's mother, Frau Moliter, a wealthy
resident of Baden Baden. in that city
November 6. last.
The prisoner heard the verdict OF
the jury with perfect composure and

Judges Hau arose, and standing erect
with folded arms listened to the SEN
tence without moving a muscle. A
moment later he was hurried away
to prison by half a dozen policemen.
The sentence is unpopular with tho
street crowds, which have been DEM
.onstrating more and more openly for
several days in Hau's favor and
against the Molitor family.
After the adjournment of the court
the Molitor party We're compelled to re-
main in one of the offices of the court
house because it was dangerous to APP
pear in the streets. Enormous crowds
had assembled in the streets adjacent
to the court house. Cordons of police
kept the rowds in check for an hour
or more, but then lost control of them,
the masses pushing and crushing for
ward to the doors With the evident in
tention of storming the entrance. There
We're many shouts from the crowd OF
'Hau is not guilty" the voices pene-
trating to the court room.
Finally two companies of infantry
and a squadron OF mounted police ap-
peared on the scene and drove the riot
ers before them. The infantr" With

within 300 yards of the court house.
a large number of arrests We're made.
One old woman was trampled Town by
the horses and it is reported that sew.
eral persons We're wounded.
The demonstration in favor of Hay
appears to be due largely to the same
maudiin sentiment which has made a.
hero out of many another accused of
a daring crime. To unthinking people
Hau's daring trip to BadeI-Baden
made him apDear IL hero.

Falls Into Profound Hypnotic
Sleep, Under Her Man
ayers Gaze.

Munich, Bavaria, July 26.-Medical
circles are deeply pcrplexed over the
phenomenal performances of a young
woman known for the present ns Miss
Nydia. She is a pretty. delicate looking
blonde girl with dreamy blue eyes and
a frightened expression. Her manager
refuses to tell where she is from.
Nydfa appeared before Il committee.
of Munich physicians. sat down AT Il
plano and played in the ordinary way q
concerto. Before her there was u large
mirror and behind her another. Her
manager sat by her side and kept his
gaze riveted on her eyes.
The end OF the concerto was played
very family and as the last notes We're
struck 1t was evident that Nydia was
railing into a profound hypnotic sleep.
Her eyes We're her bound with a
thick cloth, over this an impenetrable
black cloth was drawn and cotton wool
was stuffed by a doctor present into all
the spaces left between her skin and
the cloths. A program was handed
around containing some twenty pieces
OF music. The people present We're
asked to underline any particular piece
Which they wished to hear. This was
handed to the manager, who stood at
fifty PAGES from Nydia with his back
turned toward her. The girl without
a wcrd or sign passing between her
and the manager played the required
piece.
Unknown pieces were passed up,
among them music in manuscript
which had never been played before,
Nydia had no difficulty. The manager
held The music INC she PLAYED it with
out hesitation, slower, perhaps, than
required and with some mistakes, but

TELLS HOW TO'LIVE
ON 10 CENTS A DAY

Copsnhagen. Denmark, July 90
Copenhagen, and indeed all Denmark,
is in a fever Of excitement about the
latest national hero, DR.. Hindhede, Of
Skanderborg. He published a book
dealing with diet reform. He males
three table,. The first is a luxurious
one, which if a man INDUCES in no
will have too much. but which costs
only 10 cents Il day. The second is
very substantial and works out 6 cents
a day. The. third is an ordinary Work.
ing .1rlan's fare at 2 cents a day. OF
a fraction more. y
The theory that alburnen is needed
in food in large quantities, Hindhede
knocks on the head. The healthiest
food, he says. is bread With a little
butter or lard. This might be sup
plemented by potatoes, fruit and some
cheese. with various kinds of cereals
and vegetables. But under no circuml
stances meat. alcohol. coffee, tea, or
''otler poisons." On that diet Hind-
hede and his family have lived for a
long time and nave been in better
health than they ever We're before.
Living on 4 cents a day, ,1indhede
rides a bicycle t%hirty-three miles. His
food is black rye bread, a little cheesy
and now and then an apple.

WOMAN B%OOTLEGGERS
CLEVEREST OFFENDERS

Tecumseh, Okla July 24-Bootlegging
whisky in Indian Territory and ON the
Indian reservations in Oklahoma is an
organized business. The big profit in
selling to the Indian especially makes
it an attractive business and in it are
engaged men. and women. too. of al
most every nationality. Its sale to the
red men is prohibited by federal stat
utes, and the punishment is severe, but
the risk hich the bootlegger must run
adds 10 the business q charm, and as a
result the officers state that once a
bootleSger always Il bootlegger. Ar
rest. ines and imprisonment stop the
men engaged In this business only dur
ing the period OF their confinement,
and In almost every instance the men
when released return to their OLD trade.
In recent years.. however, the authori-
ties have found the woman the most
persistent bootlegger. DR.. Lee Bennett,
United States marshal for the northern
district of Indian Territory, who has
had many years experience With out
laws Of all brands. says a woman boot
logger can sell whisky longer without
being caught and is harder to convict
than any other person.
1t took the officers ten years to catch
Mrs. NJ. j. Wade. although they We're
convinced all the time that she was en-
gagged regularly in his unlawful bust
ness. Finally, however. she was ar
rested, With sufficient proof to convict,
and served a year and Il day in the
federal penltentiary at Columbus, O.
Another woman, convicted at the same
time and known to be an old offender,
WAS Mrs. Lydia Beal. who was con-
Nictcd at Sapulpa and sentenced to
serve thirty days in Jail and pay a $500
fine.
1t is learned. however. that q ma
jority OF the women bootleggers come
from st. Louis. Kansas City and Fort
Smith. They are women with nerve,
who are out for the money, and invar-
lably they carry d good quality of
liquor, and they charge the highest
prices.
Not long ago in Ba~rtlesville, said a
deputy marshal, Il learned Of a woman
who was selling Kansas City whisky
