RoGERS-SNIFFEN CASE
New York, Jan. 4.-Little 2-year-
old John Rogers" who was poi
soned- by his mother when she gave
up hope of ever getting aAegitimate
name for him, died early today at
Lebanon hospital At the moment he
passed away his mother, in a near
by ward, suffering from self-admin-
istered poison, was calling, almost in
cOherently, for her real husband
the man she deserted for LOrlys FL
ton Rogers.
Her half-conscious offerings as
she lies fighting for her life and that
of her unborn babe have given clews
from which her whole life's history
has been learned.
AS yet the woman knows nothing
of the death of either of her children
baby LOrida, who died couple of
days ago.. and John, who passed
away today. She believes them to
be recovering from the poison She
gave them and has determined to
live herself. That she will have to
face trial on a charge Of numbering
her two children if she does live ap-
parently has not occurred to her.
Doctors today say she has a good
chance of recovery.
Ida Sniffen was her maiden name. /
She was born in New York and lived
here the greater part of her life. Her
father was a racing man and big
man in his world. -.. ..
Arthur M. Walters, coming to New
York from Richmond, Ind, wooed
and won Ida Sniffen! It was while
living in New York apartment that
the Walters met Lorlys Elton Rog-
ers, the lawyer. Rogers called at the
Walters home often and seemed on
good terms with the husband as well J
as the wife. One day Mrs. Walters

the woman who deserted him to bear
children by another have touched the
hospital attendants.
Rogers maintains his sphynx-like
attitude he has held from the first.
Not a word will he say concerning
the history of the woman who gave
up everything - home, honor and
husband-for him. He mas urged all
his friends to keep silent concerning
the affair and is trying by every
means possible to conceal all news
concerning the case.
Assistant District Attorney Martin
today announced that he may take
some important action in connection
with the case. He would not state
what action he contemplates. He
said a man had called him over the
telephone and had promised to re-
veal something heretofore unknown:
Martin said this man had declared he
was a "close friend" of Rogers.

Having little fun with the Jus
tioes of the supreme court at q re.
cent dinner, Counselor Wilson C. Tip
pie told story of how some deci-
sions are rendered. He related the
case of a North Carolina justice
who had Just been elected to the
bench.
This justice, said Mr.. Triple, had
the partition between the two front
rooms of his home removed and here
he was to hold court His first case
WAS before him and the evidence was
all In. The attorney for the prosecu-
tion announced that he was ready to
sum up and that it would take him
about one hour. The attorney for the
defense said that It would require an
hour and fifteen minutes for him to
properly present his side of the
cose.
His vorahip"-Mr. Tupple said
they called . Judge your worship"
down in that neck of the woods
scratched his head In thought for q
moment and then wrote a few lines on
slip Of paper, which he carefully
placed under a book on his desk. He
then addressed the attorneys:
You gentlemen can have this room
to talk in as long as you like. and
when you are all through you can look
at this piece Of paper under this book;
there you will fnd my decision all
written out. I'm going out in the
fields and get in some hay."-Brook-

DREAMS TRACED TO MEMORY
Scientific Explanation for What Is Re-
ferred to az Phenomena
Now Accepted.

Almost all scientific observers agree
that the materials of which dreams
are made are memories of past ex-
periences Of the individual. Curious
ly enough. the memories that occur
most frequently are those of the
previous day and those of early
childhood. The former class are to be
found In every dream, and are proba.
bly, an essential condition to its forma-
tion: the latter (recollections Of
childhood) seem to be of even great
er importance since they contribute
much to the hidden meaning of the
dream.
In many cases where the incidents
OF dream seem to be entirely unfa-
miliar 1t has been shown by care
full investigation that they correspond
to actually experienced events that
have escaped the memory OF the wax
ing self. Delboeuf records an in
teresting example Of this. In 1852 he
dreamed that he found two lizards
In the snow. He took them up, warm
ed them, and placed them In hole
In wall, together with a small fern,
which he knew they liked to eat. The
name of the fern seemed In his dreams
to be Asplenium ruta muralis. Later
on In his dream he saw two other liz
ards come and eat the remains of the
fern, and then a whole host of lizards
coming to the wall in a long process
sion which covered the entire street.
On waking he could not remember
ever to have heard the name of the
fern In his dream, although he discov-
cred that fern called Asplenium ruta
muraria really existed. Sixteen years
lster~ howsyer. ..he -happa2ed - be
turning over" the pages' or friends
album Of dried flowers, and to his
surprise came across the very fern,
with the Latin name written under
meath in his own handwriting. He
then remembered that In 1860, two
years before the dream, he had met
the sister Of this friend, and to please
her had written the Latin names I'M
der the various plants in her album
at the dictation of botanist.
Fifteen years after the dream he
also discovered the source OF the liz
ard procession in an old illustrated
paper, dated 1851, which as a regular
subscriber he must have seen. In
cases of similar nature
are on record. and go to show how re-
heightened the memory may
be in dreams. They also warn us not
too rashly to believe that incidents in
dream which seem entirely new are
really so
