DETECTIVE AGENCY
TO FACE CHARGES
Grave Accusation Is Made
Against Rival by Perkins.

Pittsburg, May 23.-Sensational charges
against United Staes Post-office in
spectors are made in a petition prepared
by the attorney for G. B. Perkins. H. H.
Perkins, w. w. Perkins, Charles Frank
lin. a. Thomas. and ]. ]. Drew, asking
Congress to make an investigation of
the inspectors. The petition was taken
to Washington tonight by two attorneys,
who will have Congressman from Pitts
burg Introduce II. The charges are the
result Of the arrest Of Gilbert B. Perkins
and Walter w. Perkins in Indianapolis
and Charles Franklin in Philadelphia by
Post-oftice inspectors. The most serious
allegations made by the Perkins are to
the effect that many OF the Post-oftice
inspectors are peuniarily interested in
the w. ]. Burns detective agency In New
York, and 1t Is alleged the story TO the
effect that the Perkins ageny attempted
to blackmail c. Strong, OF Erie, Pa. for
the purpose Of running the Perkins
agency.
Allegations Of a conspiracy are made
by the Perkins agency agains. these
post-ottice inspectors: Frank O'Brien, Of
New York: w. c. Ella and William F.
Cleary. Of Indianapolis; Walter Corkson.
of Columbus. Ohio: E. F. Hutches, Of
Urbana, Ohio; James Wolff of Parkers-
burg, w. Va: Gi w. Craighead, of Pitts
burg; J. F. Cortelyou, John f. Olddeld,
Albert E Burness, and William s Ryan,
of Philadelphia. together with John E
Washer. Of Pittsburg. a secret service
operative.
The Perkins concern asks that Congress
investigate the post-office inspectors, and
they aIlege that they can adduce proof
to prove their contention that the post
office inspectors named conspired to fur
ther the interests of the Burns agency
to the discredit of the Perkins agency.

HINDOOPHILOSOPHY
IN WILL CONTEST
Mrs. Ole Bull Reached the
Bhakti Yogi Stage.

Alfred. Me-, May 23.-The love element
in the Hindoo faith, which got such a
strong hold on the late Mrs. Ole Bull
and which. it was declared to-day by
Sherman L. Whipple. had undermined
her intellect. was brought into the con-
test of her will to-day by the testimony
Of Nicola Roberta. an italian barber.
who was a pupil Of Mrs. Bull for years
at the studio house In Cambridge, Mass.
Roberts told of the stages of mental
and physical cultivation that the Raja
Yogi or Hindoo philosophy required. He
said that Mrs. Bull had finally reacheu
the Bhalsi Yogi stage-a stage in which
all of the believers were gods. What
is the Bhakti stage?'' asked Mr.. Whip
pie. 1T is the attainment of supercon-
sciousness through love-" replied Roberts
did Mrs. Bull ever say anything about
love or Bhakti in relation to personal
duty?'
Yes"
Did Mrs. Bull give you a book on
lover"
"Yes: she gave me a book which she
said was personal. She said that her
life was mapped out in it. She told Mo
that the book would give me knowledge
Of love-
Dlu Sne tel you ABOUT ner nrSt meet
ing with Ole Bull and the circumstances
connected with her marriage and of her
life with him?"
Yes"
"And you would rather not tell this in
public?'
I'D rather not"
What was the effect OF the teaching
on your
MY health became poor. looked at
the world in an abnormal way and was
impracticable.'
Just before giving this testimony
Roberta told how a student reached the
superconscious state, one Of the highest
stages Of Raja Yogi.
The Kundalina Substance at base Of

ascend to the brain. It passes up the
sussuma canal and overcomes the subtle
elements Of nature. II you can make
the current pass through the canal into
the brain you have solved the problem
of freeing the mind from matter"
Roberta testified that Mrs. Bull told
him that the mysterious "sussuma canal
was closed in ordinary persons. Only
Yogi have It opened. This u the only
way to obtain divine wisdom.

Senate to Meet at Noon.

The Senate has tried the .
o'clock meeting hour, which was
the suggestion of Senator Bailey.
of Texas. and apparently it does
not like the innovation. At any
rate. the Senate adjourned yester-
day to meet to-day at noon, the
old hour OF meeting, and 1t is the
prediction of Senators that there
will be few more, If any. sessions
that begin as late as 2 o'clock.
The fact that the Senate moved
the time Of meeting forward two
hours seems to have had no effect
so far as punctuality of Senators
is concerned. Yesterday only thir-
teen of the ninety-one Senators
were present when the Chaplain
opened the Senate with prayer.
A motion for the meeting at
noon to-day was made by Sena-
tor Borah, Of Idaho. Even Sena-
tor Bailey showed no disposition
to resist the motion. for he voted
for it. Senator Hepburn voted
against the proposed change, his
being the only voice raised In
protest. Senator Hepburn looked
around in surprise when he dis
covered that he was alone in his
opposition

came here to seek pearls.
The bodies had been hanging in the
open air for probably a day or two. No
clothing or anything about the four men
was to be fund which would lead to their
identification.
There has been no trace of the guilty
parties found. There has been no rob-
berries in Letcher County in many
months, and as there were no strangers
in the neighborhood the crime is clouded
in mystery. Tales of rich finds have
caused many people to come here in
search of pearls. and If the men were
robbed there was no trace left by the
guilty parties. The bodies were brought
to Campton. and an autopsy will be held
by the coroner tomorrow.

Canton, KY. May 23.-Swinging in the
branches of big tree in a deserted por-
ton Of Letcher County the bodies of four
pearl hunters. who, 1t is said, have found
many valuable pearls within the past
week, were found to-day by a passer-by.
1t is believed by the Letcher County au-
thorities that the men were lynched by
thieves and their bodies swung from the
tree. One of the bodies was identified
by Dr. F. H. Lewis as that Of J. w.
King, a pearl hunter, who found a pearl
a few days ago valued at $1,000. The
other three were not identified.
The motive of the hanging has not been
fathomed, and feeling is at high pitch.
The other three men are said to be from
Oregon, who, attracted by the large finds
