RECLUSE tiE|R[SS
WILL ENTER COURT
Mrs. Sarah L. Winchester, Mil
lionairess, Sues Contractor
E. w. Mcclellan
Woman Whose Pastime Is
Building Fantastical Homes
Is Stanct Spiritualist

REDWOOD CITY, Jan. 9.-Sarah L..
Winchester, heiress to the vast wealth
of the Winchester arms company, has
at last decided to throw her cloak of
mystery aside.
Mrs Winchester has started an action
through her attorneys against E. W.
Mcclellan of Burlingame, the contrac-
acres of land now held by Mcclellan
and other defendants near Burlingame
The complaint alleges that the defend
ants lease expired on the first of the
year, but claims that they still hold
possession of the property in question
and refuse to give it up. Mrs. Win
chester further AYERS in her complaint
that the property was damaged by the
removal of a quantity of gravel from
the land and by the custom of allow
ing a herd of cows to Craze upon it,
She asks for rent amounting TO s33
and damages in the sum of $500.
The present contention has arisen
over a large tract of what was for
merly marsh land near the polo field
of Francis ]. Carolan, the Burlingame
clubman, and which was bought by
Mrs. Winchester number of years ago
with the idea of erecting the finest
country home in the west.
An immense concrete seawall was
constructed to keep out the encroaching
tides of the bay, the man who is now
being sued by Mrs. Winchester carrying
out the work. Throughout the entire
tract of land costly system of canals
with proper floodgates was constructed
through which the Winchester private
fleet of launches and yachts were to
wend their way.
An avowed spiritualist, Mrs. Win
chester soon became tired of her costly
toy and after constructing a boathouse
and erecting huge mountain of earth
upon which the mansion was to be
erected where it could overlook the
! entire canal system of the estate and
/ teo, Fair Oaks and San Jose then
came TO know of Mrs. Winchester, al.
though her existence was skepticalIy
regarded, so seldom was Mrs. Win
chester seen.
Through all the years that she has
been a resident of California, Mrs Win
chester has retained her property &C.
quiring mania, ever being on the verge
of completing elaborate country cot
tages or fantastical palaces. San Jose

MENTAL SCIENCE
Rev. Johnston Myers Explains
Objects of Psyche Thera-
peutic Class
knowledge Will Be Valuable
Aid to Parents in Train
ing Children

CHICAGO. Jan. 9.-Rev. Johnston
Myers has given an explanation of the
objects of the psyche -therapuIics class
which he is forming in his church.
This is an educational enterprise
for the scientific Investigation of mind
cure" he says. I'VE propose to cover
this whole field of mental science in
its philosophical. psychological, histOri-
cal. medical and religious aspects The
object is to bring into the homes the
results of the best science, the sound
est learning and the most recent in
vestigations on this subject. The time
is near when the power TO heal the
sick, as well as to cast out devils, may
be the test by which the usefulness OF
the church may be gauged. Mental
and spiritual laws are just as immuta-
BILE as those of the physical realm.
Every one should understand these
laws and teach them and place in the
hands of the people the knowledge
with which to heal and cleanse them
selves in the name of Christ.
This knowledge will oe an inval-
liable aid to parents in bringing up
their children; it will help the well
people to keep well and the sick peO-
pie to get well, and it, will help the
businessman to succeed in his busi-
ness"
Several well known scientists and
physicians will give the class instruc-
tions, The first meeting will be held
next Monday.

Contralto May Go to Jail

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-On top of
Oscar Hammerstein's financial trouble
in Philadelphia comes additional diff
culties here through a dispute among
Hammersteins grand opera singers and
the United States customs authorities.
1t is asserted by customs officers that
several of the singers have failed to
pay duty on imported costumes, and
that drastic action will be taken un-
less the money is paid at once.
The amount due is said to be in the
neighborhood of $4,000. but as the
costumes are in the possession of the
singers they maintain that neither will
they pay nor give them up. This
stand has been taken in spite of urg-
ing on the part of Hammerstein that
the duty be paid.
Nine. Doria, one of Hammerstein' S
principal contraltos, decided she would
go to jail rather than pay.
81 consider it an outrage said Nine
Doria II have worn all my costumes
and after they had passed the Gus
tom house and into my possession ]
got bill for $3.50. I told the inspector
only yesterday that I would go to jail
rather than pay such an unjust tax
He gave me until today to pay and TOLD
me that If 1 did not pay then he would
take me to the Tombs. But 1 will
never pay"
