REJECTS MENTAL
TELEGRAPHY

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Oct. 1s.-Profes-
sor Hugo 11uensterberg, professor OF
psychology at Harvard, takes issue with
Bishop Fallows. J. d. Quaclenboss and
his Observation-Disclosures. William James, all
sponsors Of mental telepathy. He says
that after years of studying every phase
of the subject, he is assured that such a
phenomenon does not exist.
Mental telepathy is an utter impossi-
bility. he declares. owing TO the unlike
lihood OF any two minds being so finely
attuned as to vibrate in unison at every
phase Of thought. Asked regarding hyp-
notism. Professor Muensterberg said;
"I have placed over 20 subjects under
a hypnotic spell. and have never used
the same method with any, two alike. A
variety OF mental diseases, including q
craving for stimulants, have been cured
in this fashion. II is utterly absurd to
declare. however. that bodily ills can be
permanently cured by hypnotism, Tho
pain may be alieviated but the disease
remains"

 San Francisco. Nov. 19.--Indications are that rainy weather may mar the opening of the racing season under the auspices of Che new California Jock ey Club at Emeryville tomorrow. Light showers have fallen all day.
 In view of the Walker-Otis anti. betting law, the problem of betting is the principal topic in sporting circles.
 According to an announcement to- day. District Attorney Donahue of Alameda county has construed the law to mean that accepting oral bets from ail corners. or the public record ing of bets, or purchasing concessions fromthe race track management in order to take hets, constitutes vio- lation. Bets between individuals will not be interfered with.
 Donahue declares he will have ren. Iresentatives on hand to watch for vio- lations of the law and that arrest will be made. The oral system probably will be tested in the courts.

WHEN LAST SEEN WAS RIDING AT ANCHOR IN A SECURE
 BAY IN WEST INDIES.
Left Kingston, Jamaica, November IS, and Has Not Been Heard from
 Since-Thought To Be Lost.

New York Nov 19.-The passenger steamer Maracaibo, of the Red D. line, nearly three days overdue from the West ] ndies, arrived tonigt after encountering terrific weather which necessitated the continual use of oil to keep the vessel under control The Maracaibo brought no tidings of Col John J. Astor's missing yacht Nour-1 mahl.
 Every added hour of uncertainty adds to the anxiety felt for Colonel .Ichn Jacob Aston, his son Vincent and Richard Peters, a cousin of Mrs. Astor. who have now been out of touch with the world for a fortnight when the missing yacht Nourmahai was hast seen.
 Shipping masters point out that if the Nourmahal was blown out of her course by the late West Indian hur- ricane she might have great difficulty iii making port again. as her cruising radius, like that of all yachts, is com paratively small and would soon be exhausted in fighting head winds Hope for her safety rests in the as sumption that she now is in port. but that owing to the Interruption of the cable service, it is impossible to get word of her arrival 10 America. She has no wireless
 No Report of Yacht.
 Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 19--Mr Astols yacht Nourmahal cleared from Kingston for Ponce. P R., at noon November Is. She did not coal here Incoming vessels have not reported sighting the Nourmahal. The British cruiser Scylka went in search of the missing vessel Thursday.
 In twentyfour hours, during the height of the recent West Indian hur- Ticane, the Maracaibo made but fifty. one miles. The worst of the storm she nlet ragged from D. m. November 13 until D. m. November 14 The steamships arriving from West Indian ports tonight attest to the violence of the storm. The steamer Ucayal reports such heavy winds and sea as to delay her three days. Similar weather was experienced by the steamship Korona
 The Maracaibo left Curacao on No yembei and touched at San Juan November 12 The Astor yacht left Kingston on the same day that the MaracaiDo departed from Curacao pre- sumably bound for San Juan. As the trip ordinarily takes about two days she had ample time to arrive there before the Maracaibo. The fact that the yacht was not seen in the har bpr there gives a further serious as pect to the mystery of is disappear anca

 The president also declared he was in favor of fortifying Hampton Roads the greatest strategical naval base in the world, by erecting an impregnable fort on an island placed half way be- tween the Virginia capes He said he had recommended such a fortifica- ton as secretary of war and hoped to lsee the plan adopted during his term as president.
 The president was then taken to Cape Henry for an old fashioned oy- ster roast. The oysters were served with such a lavish hand that when the president arose to -peak he de- elared he felt like an oyster
 The waterways delegates having practically completed the business of their convention yesterday gave the day over to particAnating in the wei come 10 the president.
 In his speech at Cape Henry the president dwelt again upon the nec- esislty of taking up waterways inn provements oil basis of sound bttsi- ress sense rather than on ideals of os atory.
