VICTIM OF HYPNoTlsT AFTER PERFORMING SEVERAL ACTS
 DECLARED DEAD.
Efforts of the Physicians Fail to Re. vive the Man to His Senses and
 the Hypnotist was Arrested.

Someryille, N. J., Nov. 9.-Victim of hypnotic expert, Robert simp. son is dead. and Professor Arthur Everton, of Newark, N. J.. the hyp- notist, is under arrest and in state of collapse today.
 Simpson was hypnotized at a per formance in a theatre here last night. After placing the man in d cataleptic state, the hypnotist performed num- erous tests in the presence of the audience to show the thoroughness of his work
 When the time came to end the tests, however. Professor Everton found that his work, to all appear ances, had been too thorough. The subject could not be revived.
 In panic the hypnotist called on physicians, who after laboring long time over Simpson. pronounced him dead.
 Notwithstanding this decision the man was taken to hospital where Professor Everton and County Physi- elan w. H. Long made efforts to re- >vive him. No results having been ob- tained after several hours, Everton was arrested. Everton collapsed when he realized his plight
 An autopsy will be performed to- day to determine the exact cause of Simpsons death
 Simpsons death was witnessed oy a large audience. Everton said to- day he was informed that Simpson had been drinking before the experli. ment was performed.

AID FAMINE
 SUFFERERS MEXICAN GOVERNMENT CON. ', TRACTS FOR LARGE AMOUNT
 OF CORN.
Duty Has Been Raised So There Will Be Large Supply of the Neces-

Laredo, Tex, Nov. 9-There has has been large movement of corn through this port of entry into the republic of Mexico in order to break the corn famine which exists in thai country.
 This movement of the yellow cereai has only assumed large proportions, however, since the Mexican govern ment saw fit to remove the duty about 10 days ago, Since then fully 200 car loads of corn have been shipped into Mexico and the export continues at the rate of about 10 cars per day.
 The Mexican government has con tracted with a large Chicago concern for the purchase of 100000 bushels at the price of s156 Mexican, or or 67.0S gold per bushel at the current rate of exchange It is thought that when this order shall have been com pIeted there will be no further neces- sity of making purchases in the United States or in the Argentine Republic. f
 Should present conditions continues it is estimated that the growing crop in Northern Mexico. which will be harvested early in the month of March of next year, will be sufficient to adequately. supply the needs of consumers and that the duty will then be reimposed

PHILANTHROPHY
 NOT "MEDDLING' PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH SHOULD APPRECIATE GIFTS FOR
 STOPPING DISEASE.
Act Only Reflect Spirit of Generosity in the Suppression of Disease
 That Is Peculiar to Section.

New Orleans, Nov. 9.--In his ad- dress before the Soutnern Medical As sociation here today, pr. John A. Witherspoon of Nashville, Tenn, chairman of the surgery section of the association, made strong plea for the elimination of politics from state medical boards.
 T earnestly urge,' he said, that the association go on record as de- manding laws of the state represented in this association so that the phy- sicians of each state have at least the privilege of suggesting to the gov ernors a list of high class doctor, from which the state boards shall b, selected Politics must not be allow ed to imperil human life"
 Dr. Witherspoon also urged that tl Q young men of the south desiring to study medicine be required to have a better general education than is now demanded by the majority of the med. ical colleges.
 Sessions of the sections on surgery, Dr. F. G. Dubose of Selma, Ala, chair man, and on opthalmology, pr. A. w. Sterling of Atlanta, chairman, were held this afternoon.
 Tonight the visiting physicians were entertained at smoker at the Elks Cisb. ,ft
 More than 500 physicians from all parts of the south are in attendance at the meeting, which convened today for convention of three days.
 One of the most important subjects, which will claim the attention of the convention, will be that of pellagra. The hook worm disease will also be extensively discussed.
 Dr. Giles c. Savage. president Of the association, said today he believ- cd pellagra is not due to the eating ofm wsty corn. but is purely a disease of the nervous centers, produced from some unknown cause. He expressed tine belief that the disease is closely akin to leprosy. In connection with the fight being waged on it and the hook worm disease, he said:
 T hope that the association will ex- press It's cordial endorsement of the generosity of Messrs. Carnegie and Rockefeller and Mrs. Rmssel Sage for their gifts in the suppression of the diseases of the hook worm and pella- gra. believe it Is noble work and the people of the south should re- joice that such generosity should be displayed. w7-
 T have no patience with those per sons who are objecting to the accept, auce of the money on the ground that northern people are meddling in southern affairs. I am glad the gifts were made, and I hope much good for the race will come of them. It is the only way in whic hto gain the lnowl- edge which will result in overcoming the threatened scomges, and think the donors are benefactors to the scuth.'

WILL PREVENT
 CONSOLIDATION SUIT IS FILED TO PREVENT THE CONSOLIDATION OF TELE.
 PHONE COMPANIES.
Bell Telephone Company and the Unit ed States Telephone Company
 Are Estopped.

St. Louis, Nov 9.--Suit was filed in the circuit court here late today to prevent the consolidation of the Unit ed States Telephone Company with the Bell telephone system.
 Samuel J. Schweer of St. Louis, a sipckholder in the United States Tele- phone Company, an independent com. pany of Ohio, sued the Mississippi Valley Trust Company of St. Louis and the Cleveland Trust Company of Cleveland, holders of the stock for which they issue voting trust cerrrfi- cates; the United States Telephone Company and the members of the board, voting trustees, whom 1t is alleged have been trafficking in the voting certificates. selling them to the Bell Telephone Company.
 The Mississippi Valley Trust Com pany was directed by Circuit Judge Williams to hold all stock of the Unit ed States Telephone Company in it's possession and an order to show cause why the injunction should not be is. sued was made returnable next Fri day
 Those comprising the board of vot- ing trustees are:
 A. H. Bauer, James S. Bradley Jr., Clarence Brown, Claude Ashbrook, N. C. Harvey, Joseph B. Hoge. F. R. Huntington, H. A. Everett and E. w. Moon.
 The petition asked an order against the two trust companies restraining them from turning over the stock to the alleged new owners of the voting trust certificates and if necessary. the appointment of receiver for the stock and an order directing public sale to persons having no interest in the Bell company.
 The United States Telephone Com rany was organized in 1905. Bell Can Get No Stock. Toledo, Ohio. Nov. 9.-'We are per. fectly willing to be enjoined from sell. ing stock to the Bell" said James ]. Bradley Jr, president of the United States Telephone Company, when in formed tonight of the filing of the suit in St. Louis. einasmuch as the Bell Company, neither through the American Telegraph and Telephone Company nor any of the subsidiary companies, has acquired one cent of interest in any of the stock, we are noi interested in the outcome of the suit The Bell cannot get any of this stock"
 Whether answer to the petition will be filed will be left to the company's attorneys, MT Bradley said.
 Aside from few hundred dollars worth held by the Mississippi valley Trust Company he said the stock is held in trust by the Cleveland Trust Company
 MT. Bradley declared that the iden- tity of the interest back of him in his recent independent telephone deals is becoming known among Ohio inde. pendent telephone men and that they are well satisfied The litigation is being started by interests outside of Ohio. he said.
 To direct meeting of independent telephone men of northwestern Ohio today, Mir. Bradley made the wase- ment that the Bell company is in no way interested in his deals and res olutbon was adopted to stand together against the Bell.
