wreck occurred on the Chicago, Lake
Shore & South Bend Interurban last
Night. which brought all the ambu-
lahces within a radius of several miles
to the scene, within a short while aft
err the accident, and which delayed traf-
f1c bon. on the interurban and the
Chicago Terminal. on whose right of
way the wreck occurred
Fhe latter was the result of a col
lision between a Chicago Terminal
train and car No. IL, train 81, of the

the train AMI the car had slowed up
for the crossing. Bradford ran ahead
and gave a signal, which he claimed
was meant to warn the motorman to
stay where he was. and the signal was
mistaken by both the motorman. NJ
Kramer. and the engineer, William
Curry. as a signal for them to come
on. The result was that the freight
train, which was but few feet away
from the crossing, started to back up
Just as Kramer started across the
tracks. Kramer put on all speed. but
the current was not sufficiently tsrone
for him to clear the crossing before
the freight train caught his car. turn

Indiana Harbor. Oct. 1s.-That there

the wholesale naturalization of for

belief, as indicated by a visit of Billy

The prime object OF his visit was
not given out by Mr. Blodgett. but 1t is
known that he is on a"story for his

The visit of Mr.. Blodgett, in view
of the data he seeks is regarded as

Indiana Harbor, Ind, Oct. 13.-For a

ski, a cripple who lives in Cedar street
though the whole world was in con-
spiracy against him. 1t is hard enough
to be a cripple, but when a lady whom
you have never even met before, much
less friend of yours, flies out onto
the sidewalk, snatches your crutch
from under you. leaving you to balance
yourself as best you may upon your
only remaining leg, and rushes away
with 1t (the crutch) to chastise an
irate billy goat. things are coming
pretty fast, acco riding to Mr.. Markow-

All of this happened in Gu.r-A

reached for the shovel, but as she did

She made few passes at the goat,

a passer-by came to Mikes rescue and
beat off the goat, returning Mike his

MRS. MATTE BUNCH
ASKS AN ACCOUNTING
SAYS HUSBANDS PROPERTY is
BEING CONCEALED
Claims Mrs. Rogers Has Possession of
Realty in Kansas, Missouri, Ken
tucky and Riverside
County

Mrs. Matte Bunch, widow of j. New
ton Bunch, the real estate man who
committed suicide at Manhattan Beach
October 25 after warrants for his arrest
on charges of swindling in real estate
transactions had been issued, claims to
have discovered evidence that Mary A.
Rogers holds large amount of Bunch S
property, located in Kansas, Missouri
and Kentucky, and in Riverside county,
California. She has filed a petition in
the probate division of the superior
court asking that Mrs. Rogers be cited
to appear and explain why the proper
ty has not been accounted for.
When Bunch died it was believed by
his widow that his estate was worth
only about $500. Everything was left
to her by a will made by Bunch just
before he took his life, and Mr..
Bunch was appointed Administrative by
Judge Rives December 16 Investiga-
tions disclosed the fact, she says, that
her husband gave Mrs. Rogers promis-
sorry notes secured by mortgages on
valuable real estate properties located
in four states. She asserts that a
statement of this property has been re-
fused by Mrs. Rogers and that the true
facts have been concealed for the pur-
pose of defrauding the estate.
When criminal complaints were is
sued against Bunch in October Mrs.
Bunch was made a co-defendant, but
the charges were dismissed so far as
she was concerned.

HYPNOTIC SPELL
POWER OF HER EYE ALARMS
PROSECUTOR
HORTON FEARS WITNESSES MAY
YIELD TO INFLUENCE
Thinks Defendant Has Established
Trail to Relatives Mind, Which
Has Been Filled with
Suggestions

Suspicion in the minds of attorneys
engaged in the prosecution of Minnie
Jones that the woman with many
aliases is endowed with hypnotic pow
er may ripen into conviction and lead
to a petition that she be compelled to
wear dark glasses while facing wit
nesses in Justice Stephens court.
That the woman charged with sWind-
ling George w. Harmer in a transac-
tion involving the purchase of seven
teen fictitious COWS has the power of
suggesting, through mental telepathy,
what others should say was the idea
that entered the mind of G. Ray Hor-
ton, deputy district attorney, during
the examination of a witness, Miss
Jones' sister, yesterday.
The sister, Mrs. Lulu TAFT, was
among the first witnesses of the day.
She told of the family home in San
Luis Obispo and the little ranch prop
erty, yardlike when compared with the
great ranch that, as Miss Jones as
serted, had been willed her by her IA
ther
do you know your sisters hand
writing?' she was asked.
Hesitates and Stammers
Mrs. Tait's glance was directed at
her sisters face. She hesitated, then
stammered a negative. Further ques-
tioning only elected replies that the
witness had never seen her sister S
writing and could not attempt to iden-
tify it,
Mr.. Horton remarked on the appar-
ent strangeness of the statements. Only
few days ago, he stated, Mrs. TAFT
had told him she was perfectly famil-
lar with the chirography of her sister.
He, too, glanced in the direction of the
dofonHoo4
steadily into the orbs of the woman
seated in the witness chair.
THAT is ALL said the attorney,
turning to the witness.
1.-THE change in the witness manner
was strikingly noticeable" said Mr..
Horton. 81 could not account for it,
but when [ observed her sister the
thought at once occurred to me that
the latter had established a hypnotic
trail to the witness mind and that the
little unseen path was we'll filed with
suggestions. influencing the mental
apparatus of the woman on the stand. .
May Insist on Goggles
will you suggest goggles?" he was
asked.
'I cannot say at present" was the
reply.
Only a few witnesses were examined
yesterday, and their statements bore
chiefly on defendants home life Coun-
ty officials from San Luis Obispo testi-
fed to having no knowledge of a 1900
acre ranch owned by the defendant or
any member of her family. The ex-
animation will be resumed Wednesday,
May "a. Meanwhile an argument on
law points, raised by some Of the tes-
timony already elected, will be made
next Monday.
H. H. Appel, one of Miss Jones at
torneys, stated that his client was
threatened with an attack of typhoid
fever. His request that the bail of
$2500 be decreased was granted, the
figure being placed at $4,000. This, it is
said, will be furnished today, and the
woman will be allowed to go to the
home of relatives in this city.

FROM THE CLERGY

Rev. A: c. Smither, pastor Of the
First Christian church, who recently
said before a meeting of the Church
Federation that he was a Democrat,
that he didn't care who knew it, but
that he was an American first and that
the Democracy had never stood for
strict party affiliation, said:
Il think the report of the minority
shows most lamentable and unfortu-
nate condition of affairs among certain
officials Of the city. If the statements
are true. the sooner the mayor is re-
called and Ed Kern is eliminated from
his position the better it will be for
all concerned.
ST do not care to have my boy reared
in such an atmosphere as appears to
come from the city hall. Let us clear
the stables of their foulness"

scandalous record of vice and its pro-
tecticn of which I have ever had any
knowledge in any city in the Union
