Lapses Are Astonishing
When on Witness Stand.

Chicago. Jan. 6.-Displaying almost as

Ottoman Zar-adusht Hanish, leader OF the
Mazdaxnsn Sun cult. to-day underwent a
grilling in Judge Pinckney's Juvenile
Court at the time set for the appearance
In court OF BILLY" Lindsay, the twelve
year-old Philadelphia heir to large for
tune, who, on application Of his fathers
brothers, was taken from the Sun" tenn
pie early in December.
The boy did not appear and, what Is
more important none OF his relatives ap-
pear to know his whereabouts. II seems
reasonably certain that he Is being Sc
creted somewhere by members Of the Sun
cult. Attorney Oscar Brecher. In whose
care the boy was paroled by Judge Pinck-
ney December 1s. appeared to-day and re-
peated his assertion that he does not
know where the boy is. although he has
made every effort to locate him.
The facts in the case appear TO be these:
Early IN December Charles and Elwood

Judge Pinckney in the Juvenile Court for
an order taking the boy from the Sun
cult temple and placing him IN the Gus
tody OF the court This order was grant,
cd. and Immediately there was a furor
In the ranks Of Mszdaznan. TO whom II
appeared that control OF fortune Of

fingers. Although former Judge McEwen

Several days later It was discovered
that Billy Lindsay. instead OF re-
naming at the Brecher home, was at
the home OF Miss Minnie Brauchman.
Mrs. Brecher's sister. and that Mrs.
Lindsay, the boys mother, was also
there.
About this time It developed that a
number OF boys and young men have at
various times been inmates OF the Sun
Temple In Lake avenue, and in company
with Hanish. Suggestions and infima-
lions that these boys were there for
some ulterior purpose were bruited
about.
Immediately after the publication of
these intimations BILLY" Lindsay. who
may eventually prove a star witness
against certain members Of the Sun

q. and almost simultaneously Miss
Brauchman became missing. Another
mysterious disappearance was noted IN
the case Of Mrs. Lindsay. "Vahdah," OF

a Portuguese, who is known to have
been one OF Hanish's right-hand men.
Hanish knew nothing Of these missing
persons, ara his examination produced

EXPECT ARMISTICE
IN ITALIAN WAR
Great Britain Playing Prom
inent Part in Peace Move.

London. Jan. 6.-Announcement Of an
srmistice in the Turko-ItaIian war is
expected to be made next week. 1t was
learned here to-day from a source close
10 the foreign office that Great Britain
has played a prominent part in the move
ment OF the powers to bring about a truce
as the preliminary step to the negotiation
or peace between Turkey and Italy.
1t is even reported that the rough draft
Of a treaty of peace has already been
drawn, to be used as the basis OF a fu-
ture instrument, il the general terms are
found to be satisfactory. The chief items
include the payment OF indemnity said
10 be above SO OOO,O 900 by Italy to Turkey
in compensation for the seizure OF TripolL
Turkey is to draw all of her troops out
OF TripOH. and Italy is TO withdraw her
fleet from the Red Sea and other foreign
waters.
However, all interested parties recoE-
nize the fact that a peace treaty between
Turkey and Italy will not end fighting in
Tripoi. Hostile Arabs will continue to
harass the Italian invaders in their holy
war" for a long time to. come.
Nevertheless, without the Turkish re-
sources for ammunition and arms. the
naives will be crippled in their cam
paiGn against the Italians. Hitherto they
have had the moral support OF their
Turkish allies in battle.
1t will not be necessary for the treaty
10 give Italy authority TO maintain a
strong police force Of armed soldiers in
T-ipolI, for by the evacuation OF the
Turkish soldiers the country automati-
Cally comes under italian domination and
rule.
Turkeys national treasury is being
drained, and the extra taxes imposed to
carry on tha war are causing much dis
satisfaction throughout the Ottoman EN-
pire. The Young Turks party has be-
come genuinely alarmed.

chief instrument Of his Cooks undolng,
because Of Dixon's appearance as ar
bitter at a public meeting in Montana
where Cook was denounced by his for
mer guides on the Mount Mckinley ex-
pedltion.
The Senator subsequently expressed
doubt Of DR.. Cooks Mount Mckinley
narrative. Senator Dixon yesterday dart
ed into Senator Bristow's room while the
Senator was entertaining Cook and be-

Cook Redeemed. Finally, the doctor drew

FIND FLAW In CASE
AGAINST PACKERS
Attorneys for Beef Barons
Jubilant at Progress.

Chicago. Jan 6-PracticalIy the entire
court session in the hearing OF the beef
trust case to-day was devoted to an
attempt on the part of the defense to
induce Jerome II. Pratt to change his
opinion as TO the authenticity of the
handwriting of J. Ogden Armour on cor
respondence touching pool operations

laid down n definite measure 10 which
the government must apply its case

be presented TO support the charges.
The court said:
