DREAM MAN TO MAKE HER RICH
 SAYS PSYCHIC
Woman Tells at Hearing How She Met Head of Company Under Investi- gation by Corporation Commission

Buying oil stock through the means of dreams, "visions" and revelations is one method practiced by a psychic in Phoenix, according to testimony brought out in the hearing yesterday before Chairman A. A Betts of the corporation commission in the investi gation of the Texas Globe Oil and Gas company.
 So many witnesses had been sum moned that the hearing room of the corporation commission was made quate, and the hearing was held in the senate chamber. Clyde c. Candy of the attorney generals office acted as counse for the commission, and George Purdy Bullard for the company and its officers.
 The most interesting witness was Florence Whiting, who defined her oc- cupation as that of psychic"
 You mean, then" said Candy, that you are a medium or clairyoyantY'
 That is a vulgar term sometime used" replied the witness. T call my self a psychic"
 Saw a Vision
 According to the testimony of Flor ence Whiting she had vision in Cal ifornia F years ago, in which she had seen a stream of brown fluid issuing from tho ground which turned into gold coin and fell into her lap. In the vision. she said, she was made con- scious of the appearance of the man who would some day be responsible for her becoming immensely wealthy, and knew she would recognize him when she should see him.
 When she was introduced to Harvey Hon. the organizer of the Texas Globe company. she instantly recognized him as the man of her vision, she said, and knew that he was to be the man through whom she was to come into much money. She said to him, accord ing to the testimony, that she had known him a long time, and that Hon replied that he, too, had known her for years.
 Purchased Stock
 Inspired by her visions, she said she purchased stock in his company and advised her friends to do so. Dr. Mada Biase also testified that she purchased stock ard advised her friends to do so. and she admitted she had sold some and divided the commission with the woman of visions.
 The company was brought up for in vestigatiOn on the charge of selling stock without having obtained a per- init. Testimony brought out the fact that the company was organized on a basis of 100000 shares of a par vaue of 20 cents. or a total of s300,000 face value. This stock was all issued to Harvey Hon in return for his five leases. four in Navajo county and 20 ceres in Texas. The stock in part has slnce been sold, according to statements 3f various witnesses, at price ranging from one-fifth of cent to 50 cents per harc, and much of it given away for various purposes.

EUROPE At a Glance
By the Associated Press

The council of four is still engaged in efforts 10 reach a satisfactory conclu- sion with regard to the counter pro posals made by the German peace del egates. It also is working on the clauses of the Austrian peace conven- ton, which had not been completed when part of the treaty was handed the Austrians.
 Reports in Paris are that the coun- cil will be unable to reply to the Ger mans before the end of next week. This probably is due to the complicated na- tUre of the questions under advise ment. It is understood the financial clause e the Austrian treaty has been arranged but that no sum has been fixed for Austria to pay. This matter, it is said. is to be left to a commission which will determine the amount and the method of payment after an exami- nation into Austria's resources.

 A delegation of South Africans has called on Premier Lloyd George in Paris and requested that independence be given to the union of South Africa.
 Bolsheviki advices reaching Copen- hagen say the bolsheviki have inflicted a severe defeat on the troops of Ad- miral Kolchak of the Omsk govern nent. Prisoners to the number of 40,- 900 and 100 guns and much war ma terial are declared to have been taken by the bolshevil1i.
 Reports from Esthonian sources de- ciarc the dispatches announcing the capture of Petrograd by the Esthon- ians are premature.
 There is to be no limitation of arma- ment for the small states which have sprung up in former Austro- Hungar- ian territory. The council of four has decided to eliminate the limitation pro- visions fixed in the Austrian treaty for these small states. The action was taken on the protest of the Jugo- -Slavs. who contended that it was unfair to leave Italy well armed while they are limited. and because the Poles also demanded the elimination of the pro- visions.
