1t has been asserted by distin
guished public official residing in the
White House at Washington, that
business conditions in the United
States are psychological, a mere state
of mind. and this utterance from the
dais is repeated and reiterated by
lesser and subservient officials until
people of a certain temperament
reach that degree of hypnosis which
compels belief. Such persons cannot
be awakened from the cataleptic state
until the master hand is waved before
their eyes, and the master hand at
present is otherwise busily engaged.

Two Convictions In Election Cases
At Pikesvi1le, Ky.

Pikesville, KY, Feb. 3.-The tria
of cases growing out of the 1,1O(
indictments for alleged vote traf.
ticking in Pike county was resumed
here this morning before Judge J;
M. Robertson. The hearing of testi.
mony began yesterday, and to date
two persons. Tom Stuart and Lew
Layne. both colored, have been con-
victed of accepting money for their
votes in the 1912 election. The pen
atty assessed against each is a $50
fine and disfranchisement. Both
cases are to be carried to the Court
of Appeals.
William Ratcliff charged with SELL
ing his vote to William b. Pinson
for IS was acquitted this morning,
the jury not considering the testi-
mony adduced sufficient to convict.
Henry Atkins, charged with accept
ing a bribe of SO to vote the Repub-
lican ticket in 1913, was dismissed
Judge Robertson, the testimony GO
ing to show that King Atkins, who
dropped" SO into the defendants
pocket, was working for Marvin Will
hanson, who was making the race
for Sheriff on the Democratic ticket
In ruling on the Atkins case Judge
said the Indictment was
faulty in that it charged Atkins with
selling out to the Republicans when
the veidence was TO the effect that
he had voted the Democratic ticket.

Washington, Feb. Great Brit
ain notified the United States today
although not in official form, that
foodstuffs of any kind destined for
Germany, Austria or Turkey will be
regarded as contraband of war.
The action of the British Govern
ment is based upon the recent Ger
man decree whereby that Govern
ment will take over all grain in Ger
many for common use.
Because the steamer Wilhelmina
sailed from New York for Bremen
before the issuance of the decree il
Is understood that her cargo of food
for German civilians will be paid for
and appropriated by the British Gov
ernment and the ship allowed to go
free.
But, hereafter, food-laden ships
sailing from the United States di-
rectly for German ports or for neu-
tral port in Europe, where it appears
that the cargo may ultimately reach
Germany, will be subject to seizure
outright, ship and cargo without COM
pensation.

has not committed itself to it's ap-
