Late Mrs. Bull-cuit Was Run
by Former Detroiter.

ALFRED, Maine, May 24.--More de
tails Of the weird household customs
alleged to have been maintained In
Cambridge, Mass, by the widow oi
Ole Bull, the famous Norwegian VIC
linist, were brought out today when
trial Of the suit to break her $780, .00(
will was resumed. Under examina
tion OF counsel for Mrs. Ole Bull
Vaughn, the daughter seeking tC
break Mrs. Bulls will, witnesses told
OF the mystic rites wherein masseurs
BARRIERS and students In orientalism
played leading roles.
Much or this testimony showed that
at so. Mrs. Bull devoted most OF her
time to thoughts Of love, to things
psychic and ethereal and to Soul
soaring as a Yogi through thought

In an effort to show that the widow
suffered undue influence from the men
and women with whom she surround
ed herself, the ritual OF Mrs. Bulls
Holy room" was related. There Mrs.
Bull and her disciples gathered and
with chanting and incense and a fur
niture polish OF ointment and am
monia, sought to cast out the evil
thoughts directed against them.
Attorney Sherman l.. Whipple, who
is conducting the case for those who
want to break the will, declares that
Mrs. Bull was the victim OF psychic
conspiracy" for some time prior to her
death last January
Mr.. Whipple declared that Miss Mar
garet. Noble, an Englishwoman, now
living In Calcutta, was the chief fac
tor in this conspiracy. Others In the
circle, he asserted, were DR.. Boss, OF
indiana. DR.. Coulter and Mrs. Marion
Daniels Briggs, of Waltham.
The name OF DR.. Joseph Goodwin
Thorp, brother OF Mrs. Bull, was
brought into the case by Mr.. Whipple,
who said DIR. Thorp knew OF the con-
ditions In his sisters household
Mr.. Whipple asserted that Miss
Farmer lost her reason psychic be-
cause OF over-indulgence. That sew
eral members Of the circle were drop
ped because they had too much power,
and that Swami Vive Kananda, Hin
du philosopher, lecturer and writer,
author OF "Rajah Yoga," died from
excessive participation in the mys-
teries of the chamber OF meditation.
Vive Kananda some years ago was dis
porting himself and exploiting his re
ligion" in Detroit and Chicago.

the lack OF factories and 80 far as
can see there are no inducements for
manufacturers to locate there. II Is
chiefly a jobbing center and the Job

ADVANTAGES. They cannot get any
more for their goods than the jobbers
In Toronto do, and they have to meet
the freight rates which are pretty
high. The expenses OF doing business
there are much greater than in De-
troit. Rents and real estate and liv-

YOUNG AND KENYON. Az so

| From the first the Cedar Rapids Re
publican has been favorable to Judge
| Kenyon for the Dolliyer succession on
/ for the place. While still hold
ing him in the highest esteem and re-
garding him as a young man of sena-
torial size, in many respects the
most capable of the men who are now
in the forties and active in politics,
and Kenyon make common cause
against the coteries and bosses who
have ruled Iowa too long already
Young to take the short term, to fill
out the Dolliver term and after him
Mr. Kenyon. The Gate City agrees
with the Republican that this would be
rational solution of the whole ques-
ton. The Republican says in support
of it's proposition:
Mr.. Young was appointed by the
governor and stated in the beginning
that he would not be candidate for
the next term, that he merely would
ask to be allowed to fill out the Dol
liver term, to which the governor had
appointed him. We believe that the
friends of Kenyon and the friends of
Young might still get together on
such a basis and that if they would
do SO, the deadlock and the trouble
would all be over at once and that
with credit to the state. There is no
treason why the Young men and the
Kenyon men should not be united in
that way. They are all Taft admin
istration men. Judge Kenyon is one
of Taft's trusted lieutenants and It
was largely because of his relations
to the Taft administration that the
bosses in Iowa decreed that Kenyon
must be opposed. 1t was after SEN
ator Cunmins visit to Iowa, during
the holidays that his organs, the
Marshalltown Times-Republican and
the Sioux City Tribune began to abuse
Kenyon and to say that he would not
do at ALL
at was to keep certain votes from
going to Kenyon that the coterie
which met in the Fleming building in
Des Moines ordered Garst and Funk
to become candidates. to hold the
northwestern Iowa vote and for the
same purpose they held Smith of
Usage in leash, ready to let him loose
at any time.
THE opposition of the coterie has
been alike against Kenyon and Young
and that is why we admire both
men

Tsxinu Moneys and Credits.

To the Editor of The Gate City.
About fifteen years ago I kept tell
ing around that it would be nice IL
people who had money to let out
would let it go at ) per cent interest
and be exempt from paying taxes.
But was told that would not be ac-
cording to the constitution of the
United States. 1t. was also said that
8 per cent interest would be by half
too much. so as it stands now the
rate of interest is just as the two
parties agree upon, and the owners
OF the notes and mortgages should be
taxed for their parts and the ones
that have given the notes and mort.
cages should have reduction and
be exempt from paving taxes on
the amounts which they owe. AS TO
widows having to live off their inter
est, that is correct. But let them 60

is where comes the rub. it is the peo-
pie that sell their property at a
great cost and take the money and
leave the state and spend it swiftly in
some other part, and 1t is only the ig

that will be the losers therefor L.

If it was expedient and wise to
