WOMAN DETECTIVE
FINDS SHE WAS NUN
AtLeast, That's What the REV
Mr.. Sears, Fined $50, Told Her

The "Rev." Franklin W. Sears, head
Of the New Thought Church, whose
wife. DR.. Julia S. Sears, obtained di-
vorce in July. 1914, naming promi-
rent New Thoughtist of her husbands
church. was fined $50 yesterday IN
Special Sessions for practising medi7
cine without license. The complain
ant was Detective Sergeant Isabella
Goodwin, who testified that Sears gave
her harmony treatment for pains IN
the heart. headache and nervousness.
Mrs. Goodwin said that when she
asked Sears about his fees he said: Il
make my charges to the universe. You
may pay me what you wish" She SAID
she gave him SO for the first and "
for the second visit, made last Noyem-
her. She said the treatment consisted
of saying at frequent intervals: Inc
peace and harmony Of Gods universe
are pouring into me now" followed by
relaxation and ffteen-minute silences'
One of Sears's witnesses, Miss Le-
coda CABRERA, of 250l Marion Avenue,
The Bronx. testified that the treatment
cured lack of wealth as well as ol
health.
"Did the defendant treat you for
want Of health - Justice Herbert asked
Miss Cabera.

Mrs. Goodwin testified that she asked
Sears what made her so discontented
and restless.
Because" she said he replied, be
fore your reincarnatlon. you were a
nun and you became satiated with re-
ligion. Then you went out into the
world and committed eXcesses, and
your early religious training made you
repent. The personality dies when life
ends, but individuality or solar pleNus

CANARY CHASE

Gotham's Guests Scramble
in Lobby in Pursuit of
Escaped Singer.
PADEREWSK RISKS
HIS $4,000 FINGERS
Then Bird Perches on COrnice
and Hunt Is Off for Night
Nav Be House Mascot.

And now for the latest in indoor
sports for hotel guests-chasing the
canary.
The Hotel Gotham, at Fifth Avenue
and Fifty-ffth Street, !naugurated the
amusement last night. The idea Is
simple and the outfit inexpensive. The
latter consists OF as many guests as
happen to pass through the lobby dur
ing the dinner time and a canary bird
The possibilities for entertainment and
exercise are unlimited. The game lasts
unit, the guests are exhausted or the
bird dies Of fright.
The first game 70 be played In the
citv ended in a draw last night. After
fifty persons registered at the Gotham'
including Ignace Jan Paderewskl' ana
had sought to win acclamation by
clutching the frightened bird, 1t be-
came used to it and finally perched on
a high cornice in the moulding ABOUT
the lobby and calmly surveyed the ell
forts to capture IT.
Miss Helen E. Brophy, who lives az
tho Gotham. took a walk late yesterday
afternoon and saw in one of the stores
the cutest canary bird she ever laid
ewes on. She Just had to buy 1t, right
tEen and there. She was showing her
purchase to John l.. McGoldrlcK, assist
ant manager of the Gotham, when she
touched the spring on the door Oh the
cage. The chase was on.
Straight into the face Of the startled
manager darted the bird, eludlng MS
clutch, and then, feeling the silght
chill in the December air, started d.
rectly south across the lobby. An
elderly man. who refused his name, but
il known to the fair guests OF the no
tel as "Grandpa," saw the canary col
lide with the wall and futter TO the
floor. it,,
"I've got him." he shouted, diving
from a divan and clappng his high
silk hat down upon the tiling. :,
"Mouse!" a shrill voice shrieked. and
screams from the tea-room, where
there was dancing, followed.
II developed that the elderly guest
did not have the bird, after all. by
that time the canary was wlnglng MS
way north, just out OF reach OF GoIeh
eager hands. Paderewski and Nine
Paderewski entered the hotel in time
for the pianist TO join in. with shock
ing disregard for his $4,000 fingers
according to his accident Insurance
policy. he leaped and grabbed at the
bird with all the abandon of baby
pursuing a butterfly. Plants were
overturned, feet were trampled, dignity
was forgotten az one tiny, frightened
canary bird darted back and forth.
Quiet was restored when the bird
found the highest cornice in the room.
Breathless, the guests stood about,
eager to continue the sport and willing
TO offer suggestions. While they were
debating the bird threw back its head
and triiied a few notes Of defiance.
At midnight the report from the
Gotham was that the bird had gone
to sleep, safe on the cornice. In the
Office the manager and his assistants
were devising a scheme to capture il IN
the morning. They want IT Tor the
