HYPNOTIC FAD

East st. Louis, ILL.,, June 2.-Hypno-
tized by a girl school mate, Birdie
West, 16 years old, was in a trance
for two hours last night, and DR.. A.
c. Housch worked with her for more
than an hour before he could bring
her back to consciousness.
A fad for hypnotism started among
East St. Louis school girls year ago
when a travelling hypnotist named
Griffin gave tent show there. Several
other girls have been hypnotized, and
East st. Louis mothers have tried in
vain to divert the minds of their chill
dren from this strange pastime which
has supplanted all other games usu-
ally popular with children. Edna
Forest. Is years old who says she was
the one who put Birdie West under
the spell, is nervously overwrought
as the result of the weird conse-
quences of her act.
Birdie is still under the care of DR..
Housch who says there is no doubt
that the case is one of genuine hypno-
tism. Finding medical treatment un-
availing, Dr. Housch rubbed Birdie 8
eyelids with the tips of his fingers
and kept repeating The moon is
gone; the moon is gone" In this way
he slowly brought her out of the
hypnotic state.

ATTACK RIGHT MAN
Blackmailer Plugged by Man He Tried
To Hold On.

Monessen, Pa. June 2-In the prin-
cipal street of Wireton, a suburb, this
afternoon Joe Zippe was shot and
killed after an alleged attack on Raj
feele Capputo, who refused him money
and now is in the lookup
In a running fight dozen shots
were fired. Zappe. SO years old. died
half an hour after the shooting. When
Zappe, with several companions, met
Capputo in the street it is said he
threatened to shoot the latter unless
given $50. When the demand was re-
fused it is said that Zappe drew a re-
volver and fired at Capputo, but miss
ed. The latter, not waiting to take q
revolver from his pocket, fired three
shots through his coat, each bullet
piercing Zappe's lungs. With his coat
blazing from the discharges, Caputo
started to run while the wounded man
emptied his revolver at the fugitive.
Zappe's companions, giving chase,
fired several shots at the fleeing man,
but none of the bullets took effect.
Capputo took refuge in the Hotel
Victor. where he was taken into GUS
tody by the officers.
Capputo says he received a black
5000 and that three men recently held
him up and took $40. Policemen ar
rested all the inmates of the boarding
house in Monessen conducted by
Zappe. pending an investigation.
The dead man is suspected Of be-
longing to a gand that sent black
hand letter several weeks ago de-
manding 5000 from Mike Gida, a mer-
chant, there. Gida complied with the
request and saw foreigners take the
money from the designated place.
Zappe came here four months ago
from Pittsburg.

FIGHTING OVER

Clan War Is Being Waged in
Heuwah District-Disor-

Annoy. China, June 2.-Fighting
among the clans in the Heuwah dis
trict continues and there is promise
of further disorders. The Linn clan
recently raided village in the Chink-
lang district seven miles from Anhai
and took ten prisoners. Reprisals
and bloodshed are expected. The Lin
clan is the strongest faction in the
district and includes thirty villages
and 5000 men. The four weaker
clans. Nyo, Thu, Choa and Chang.
comprising forty villages and 1000
men, have united to resist their ag-
gression. This trouble among the
clans of the Heuwah territory began
three years ago because of the abduc-
tion of a bride, and has continued in
termittently ever since. The troops
succeeded in restoring order last sum

this city that he had heard strange
noises when driving past the Mathews
house, which is almost surrounded
by trees at the edge of 1OO-acre
farm. Appeals for water and cries
OF "Oh, MAJ" came from the house,
according to Luse.
Accompanied by Herbert Reardon,
Constable HALLS went to the place
last night. After much difficulty the
two men gained admittance and went
upstairs. Bebout was found in a
room devoid of furniture, it is said,
with nothing but a bed of dirty straw.
The windows are reported to have
been boarded up, the accumulation of
years of filth thick on the floor, it is
alleged.
Bebout gazed at the visitors from
beneath eyebrows two inches long.
His beard reached to his waist. The
stepfather, according to the officer,
explained that the care of his big
farm made it impossible to care for
Bebout properly.
Out For Walk Four Years Ago.
Mrs. Mary Bebout married Mathews
eight years ago. The son is said to
have been kept in the upstairs rooms
for several years prior to the step
fathers arrival. The mother would
talk but little. Mathews is said to
have taken Bebout out for short
walk one day four years ago. The
nearest neighbors are reported to have
been ignorant of Bebout's presence
at the old farmhouse, whose only
other occupants were Mathews and
his wife.
While Bebout's mind is weak, he ap-
parently is harmless. He was at
times rational in talking with his Wis
itors. He read from a paper handed
to him and wrote his name. He an
swered all questions with yes or no,
saying nothing else beyond repeating
from time to time, the date 1891. His
mind is apparently blank regarding
most of his past life.

 The occasion was much enjoyed by a considerable number of sir knights. together with few ladies present by invitation.
 A vote of thanks was rendered the new Templar Quartette, Sir Knights Deity. Charles Christy. Gillette and Taylor, for the excellent rendition of appropriate music, which was some- thing of an innovation with the com- mandery for this occasion.

KNIGHTS IEMPLAR
 HOLIDAY OBSERVATION
Annual Convocaticn of Phoenix Com mandery, In Recognition of
 Christmas Custom.

Phoenix Commandery, No. 3. Knights Templar, following the es- tablished custom of Knights of the Temple throughout the world. cele- brated Christmas by a convocation at 10 o'clock. at which moment the en- tire membership of the order every where is supposed to express their fealty to the principles they have es- poused and their loyalty to the most eminent grand master of the tenn pie in toast and in the response to the same. Also toasts and responses are usual to the right eminent grand commander of the jurisdiction and such other toasts as may seem appropriate, and responses thereto.
 Phoenix commandery rendered the following program for the occasion:
 l. Templar ouartette-"Come, All Ye Faithful"
 2 Lords Prayer-Prelate leading.
 2. Reading-Toast offered by the Grand Encampment Committee to the Grand Master and His Response.
 f Toast-'To the Most Eminent Grand Master. Henry Warren Rugg. MdN HIS bdnItI Response by Eminent Commander Sir Archibald J. Sampson.
 5 Templar Quartette-"Christians Awake
 6. Toast-"To Our Right Eminent Grand Commander. May Peace and Prosperity Attend Him" Response Eminent Sir James Manoah Swetnam. Grfnd Sword Bearer.
 :. TOast-"The Knighthood of the Temple" Response-Right Eminent Past Grand Commander Thomas Arm strong. Jr.
 S. Templar Quartette-"Holy. Holy, Holy
 The responses by Sir Knights Sampson. Swetnam and Armstrong were classics in their way. Eminent Commander Sampson applied the sen- timents expressed by the most ex- alted grand master in his response to the grand encampment toast in a pleasing and useful way that lent courage and determination to the Soldiers of the Temple who enlisted in their warfare in defense of prin- ciple and helpless humanity.
 Sir. Knight Swetnam's response to the Toast to the grand commander was a neatly worded eulogy. of the sir knight who now fills that high office. the highest that can be be- slowed in the Jurisdiction, and. as the speaker believed. worth more. of higher honor. because of the higher grade of Masonic citizenship within this jurisdiction.
 Sir Knight Armstrong covered in a most interesting way the purpose in the origin of knighthood to pro- tect those who expressed their fidel- ity to the Great Captain of Sal walton by pilgrimages to his tomb and to wrest that tomb from the
