IMMIGRANT CENTENARIAN.
Comes TO America TO Grow Up With
His GrandsOns and the West.

New York.-A unique procession of
immigrants passed out of the iron
gates of the barge office landing at
the Battery. At the head was
white-haired little man of leathery
complexion wearing large bone-trim-
med spectacles. He scorned the as
sistance of his gray-haired son and
his grandson a youngster of about so.
The alert parchment-faced little man
is Peter Bekel aged 107, the oldest
immigrant that ever has been admit
ted into any American port. He ar
rived with his son, George, aged 20.
and his grandson, Frederick, and
Frederick's two children, under 90.
Major Semsey almost fell off his
perch when he heard the declaration.
The major could not recall that there
was any age limit on immigrants
While he was meditating what to do
in the matter. the head of the family
drew from large and very fat pock-
etbook a lot of money and securities,
the total value Of which was $4,000.
Grandfather George and his son.
Frederick, Strengthened out their
things. The centenarian was farm
er in southern Russia. His son
Georges sons had gone away to North
Dakota many years ago, and had rear
ed children and grandchildren. George
felt the call of the West and broach-
ed the subject Of emigrating to Am
erica to Great-grandfather Peter. The
centenarian had a strong desire to
look at those Yankee youngsters he
had heard about, and finally decided
that he would cross the Atlantic and
grow up with the new country.

HYPNOTISTS BUILDING
NEW LEGS ON CRIPPLE

New York.-A helpless cripple for
23 years, his legs paralyzed and shriv-
eled from cerebro-spinal meningitis,
Conrad Schaumberg will. it is prom
ised, be able to walk. Dr. Alfred j.
Fox, of the Hotel Grenoble. is devel-
oping a pair of serviceable legs from
the inert ribbons of gristle by means
OF hypnotic suggestion.
The treatments began last March,
and today the patient is able to stand.
His legs once blue, are pink and warm
with blood. One has increased an
inch and a half in circumference and
the other an inch.
Doctor Fox explained the treatment.
At first the cripple went to him only
twice a week to be hypnotized. Latter
ly he has been going to him every af-
ternoon. Doctor Fox puts him to
sleep and then suggests to his sub
conscious mind pleasurable expert
ences, which call forth a reaction OF
his entire consciousness He hypno-
tized Schaumberg in the presence OF
witnesses.
"You are in a beautiful flower gar
den." he addressed the patient after
he went to sleep. "In the immediate
distance is a fountain giving forth a
water which, II you drink II will give
you strength and energy, especially in
you legs. / will get some for you"
Doctor Fox went into the bathroom
and returned with a glass of water,
which Conrad eagerly received from
his hand, sitting up and drinking it,
his eyes tightly closed. Then he lay
back again.
Feel the elixir coursing through
your veins" the doctor said, reach
ing to your extremities, down your
legs" and he stroked the shrunken
limbs. The patient smiled with sera-
phic content

SMALLPOX. NO, SUNBURN.
Girl Immigrants Complexion Causes
Inquiry TO he Made

New York.-There was much ex-
citement on Ellis Island the other
morning when it was believed that a
case of smallpox had been discovered
on the registration floor where sew
eral hundred steerage passengers
were being landed.
The patient, little girl, arrived
with her mother and other children
on the Italian liner Taormina. As
soon as she was suspected of having
the disease the landing of the steer
age passengers from the vessel was
stopped. The entire lot were held up
and DR.. William Stoner chief of the
marine hospital notified DR.. Doty,
the health officer at quarantine.
He sent one of his assistants to the
! island. who, after examining the pa
tient, declared she didn't have small
pox and released the others. The girl
and her family were sent to Hoffman
Island for observation as a precau-
ton.
According to the patient, she went
bathing and was so badly sunburned
