County Representative
Says Thirteen Democrats
Will Oppose Action.
SUBJECT OF LITTLE TALK
HOWEVER, HE PREDICTS, IT WILL
BECOME LIVE ISSUE AND DEM
ocRATS WILL TRY TO MAKE 1T
A PARTY MEASURE.

Twelve or thirteen democratic men,
bers of the lower branch of the Indi-
ana legislature have intimated that
they will not vote to repeal the local
option law. The assertion was made
by A. NJ. Gardner, of this city, repre-
sentative from Wayne and Fayette
counties, today. Mr.. Gardner says the
local option subject has not been talk
ed about very much up to the present
time. However, he declares, 1t can
not be doubted bat that evitably it
will become one of the chief subjects
fer comment Mr. Gardner is of the
opinion the democrats will try to
make a party measure Of the effort
to repeal and try to induce all oppon-
ents within the party to line up at a
caucus.
Work Moving Slowly.
Mr.. Gardner is home to spend Sun
day. 1t is his intention to return home
each Friday evening evening and re-
main until Monday morning. Senator
kirhman, also is home to spend the
few days. Representative Ratliff was
expected tc be in the city. Both Gard
ner and Kirkman report matters at
the capital as moving quite slowly.
Work has been entered into by the
senate but the house has Jagged be.
hind. The upper body is republican
and the majority is experienced, so
that it may be expected business will
progress more rapidly than in the
house.
John w. Kern and his followers
feel their defeat very keenly, accord
ing to Gardner. They maintain un
fair tactics We're resorted to and
promise to make trouble. Mr.. Gard
ner says kern's most ardent support
ers are so sore they have not mingled
much with thefr party since the eau
Gus and nomination. 1t is probable
that the i'll feeling, which has been
engendered will remain for some time
to come.

CATANIA, Jan. 6.-With the
exception of troops, Reggie was
evacuated today and by the end
of the week only soldiers will re-
main in Messina. Next Sunday
the two cities will be great silent
tombs, patrolled by the military
and holding hidden in their ruins
the bodies of thousands of their
citizens, who died when their
homes were destroyed.
Little further effort will be
made to recover bodies, but the
soldiers are going carefully
through the ruins, seeking traces
of persons who still may be
alive.
A man was taken unconscious
from a house in Messina, where
he had finally tainted from hun
ger. He recovered this afternoon
and said he knew nothing Of what
had happened.
There is little fear of typhoid

DENVER, Col, Jan. 6.-Shal
Attorney Ben B. Laska, young ant
aspiring member of the Denver
bar, be prohibited from practicinf
on the charge of hynotism?
Are hard-headed lawyers ant
level-headed judges afraid that
the Svengali powers of man may
bias their calm, cool judgment?
Are jurors and court attaches

Unprofessional as we'll as pro
fessional Denver. is all agog. The
United States courts have taker
these queries seriously and have
gone SO far as to appoint a com
mittee of cool-headed, sober law
yers to investigate the matter ant
solemnly take evidence concerning
Laska's alleged hypnotic powers.
When America was composed o.
colonies some witches" were
burned, but since that time little
official recognition has been giver
to occultism.
The trouble arose over the de
fense by Laska of Max Goodwin
who was sentenced to Leaven
worth for sending obscene matter
through the mail.
There is no charge that Laskf
hypnotised the whole jury in the
case, for his client was convicted
But about the Federal building
stories have been rampant that he
cast the spell of his power ovel
the court room, tried to hypnotise
some attaches and court officials
who might have had great dea
to do with the outcome; and thai
the law has reason to tremblt
when pitted against some unseen
unknown power.
Before he entered the law Las
ka did delve into the occult and
was fairly successful in exercising
his hypnotic glance.
The broad charges made are
that a man who is hypnotist. has
no business in the legal profession
The witnesses summoned are
those who have had an opportu
nifty to watch Laska in court. The
Investigation is secret and is being
carried on with every semblanct
of serious inquiry.
