AUTO HITS IRAN; FIVE DEAD
TWO Couples and Chauffeur Run Down
BY Express.

One of the most horrible auto acci-
dents that has ever occurred in the
vicinity Of Cape May. ~ j.. happened
at the Cold Springs crossing Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, three miles
above there. when a collision between
a touring automobile and the Pennsyl
vania railroad express sent 70 death
five occupants of the automobile. The
killed:
Frederick ". Feldner. president Of
the Furst Clark Dredging company, Of
Baltimore. and last year president of
the Cape May Real Estate company
and his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fritz Mergenthaler and
their chauffeur Mr. Mergenthaler has
large interests in the linotype and
other Mergenthaler productions, and
IS a stakeholder in the Cape May
Real Estate company.
The party were on the way 10 Cape
May from Atlantic City and were
speeding along on the new state road,
which leaves the main seaside road
of Ocean Highway at Cold Springs
and leads over Schellinger's Landing
to this city directly to the Hotel Cape
MAY. For some unexplained reason
they gave no heed 10 the railroad
crossing or to the approaching train,
although a woman seeing their dan
ger is said TO have waved her arEs
frantically TO have them stop.
tt is believed that the auto ran into
the locomotive The occupants Of the
car were scattered for 200 yards along
the track Feliner's face was literally
torn of and the other bodies were
badly mutilated.

MeMurrsy Makes Reply.

In a statement TO the committee and
without going on the stand, McMur-
raw declared that the contracts came
to him originally against his desires.
He said the Indians at war coun-
ell" had demonstrated their impa-

slowness in the selling Of the land
and had called upon him 10 take the
job at 10 per cent. which he did with
reluctance. McMurray will 90 on the

fed it was the belief Of the Indians

when the Blue and Gray props will en-
deavor to keep unbroken their long string
Of base ball victories by defeating the
speedy nine representing the Episcopal
High School of Alexandria, Va. The
rivalry between these two institutions has
always been keen and this with the fact
that both aggregatfons have the reputa-

schoolboy teams has caused a whole lot
Of interest to be directed toward the con-
test.
The Hilltoppers have been preparing for
this game, which is their first really hard
one, ever since the opening of the season,
and they now are in the best possible
condition. Capt. Langmuir, the phenom-

WOMAN'S STRANGE TRANCE
HAS LASTED Three YEARS
Mrs. Hodus is Awake Fridays and
Saturdays, But Sleeps All the
Rest of Week.

NEW YORK, April 15.-soon after
Mrs. Bessie Hodus. thirty-eight years
old, moved with her family from New
York to Brooklyn, three years ago, she
fell into q deep sleep and she was still
in slumber yesterday. And 1t has been
that way, save for a few hours each
week, ever since.
The family formerly lived at No.
Ludlow street, occupying the same fat
for twenty-one years. There were thir-
teen months, following q serious illness,
In which Mrs. Hodus did not get any
sleep at all, either day or night. and
her husband, Charles Hodus, then de-
cided to move to Brooklyn.
He rented fiat at No. 814 Blake ave-
nue., East New York, and moved in there
with his wife and three children-Philip.
twenty-one; Israel, nineteen, and Sarah,
ten. For q few days after her arrival
in the neighborhood Mrs. Hodus liked 1t.
Its peace and auietness appealed to her.
There came a time when Mrs. Hodus
grew drowsy and said she would lie
down and get good sleep. Her first
good sleep lasted SO long that it was
feared she was dying and a physician
was called in, but he said he could do
nothing for her: that 1t was a trance
or q sort Of sleeping sickness for which
he had no cure.
Mrs. Hodus even during her trance
knows subconsciously that Friday Is
housekeeping time and that Saturday
Is the Jewish Sabbath. So late Friday
afternoon she awakens and busies her
self about the house and Saturday she
spends the day in chatting with her chill
dren and cleaning the news of the neigh
borhood. Then she goes back to bed
again to rest for another week. While
she slumbers her body is rigid, as
though she were dead.
In the earlier periods of her strange
illness she did not always fall into slum-
Der In her own house. Sometimes 1t was
in the home Of her married sister. She
was there asleep for three days at one
time, and again perhaps In the home OF
neighbor. But they know the symp-
toms in East New York now, ana wnen

GIRL SUICIDE WANTS
HER PICTURE IN PAPERS
Takes Poison and Pins Written Re-
quest on Her Address After
Learning Chum's Fate.

PITTSBURG. April 15.-On seeing in
the afternoon papers a photograph of
her chum who had committed suicide.
Miss Naomi Hayslit. seventeen-year-
old high school girl, yesterday went home
and took poison.
Pinned to her dress when she was
found dead was note Gliding youth
full admirer for his flckleness and line
added under her signature reading: Put
my picture in the papers"
Miss Hayslit's chum was Mildred
Brown, who was only thirteen. They
were orphans and inseperable. Mildred
was disconsolate because her teacher
had intimated to her foster mother. Mrs.
william Stewart that she was not get
ting along as well as she should in her
studies. She arose early yesterday morn
ing and wrote pitiful note to her mother
and her teacher, telling them she feared
she could not pass her school examine
ton and that she would rather die than
fail. Then she swallowed carbolic acid.
The girls had long talk the previous
evening, and It Is thought probable that
they agreed to commit suicide.
