In all OF the Washington Heights
section. with its population of $50, 600,
there are just two hospitals--the st

FROM GERMAN PORT
Cargo of Pork Distributed
Among Poles.

The FIRST merchant ship of the Allies
to enter German port after the ar
mistice. the West Humhaw, An Ameri-
can emergency creation, arrived yester-
day on her return trip from Danzig.
She was sent thither with a cargo of
American pork products for the relief
OF the Poles. She sailed from Danzig
on March 20 in ballast, with large
quantity OF mail, chiefly from American
officers and war work officials in Ger
many and Poland. Captain Hatfield said
the mine fields in the North Sea and
the Baltic were still very dangerous,
and apparently little had been done to
clean them up. High winds had loosed
fotillas of mines and navigators were
IN constant peril. The West Humhaw
sigzagged at snail pace for three days
along three-mile passage and was
warned repeatedly not to attempt to
anchor or even heave the lead
Captain Hatfield took notice OF the
Germans while he was In Danzig. He
said they had set out to fiatter the
Americans. incidentally abusing the
British and French. to whom they at
tributed all their troubles "I never

erson silk mill case. putting into effect a
forty-eight hour week in the 4ss silk
mills whose owners and employees had
signed the agreement to submit the mat
Ter 10 the board. The decision recon-
mends that the hours be so arranged
that the employees may have a half holi-
day on Saturday. The decision followed
long discussion and was made on the
recommendation OF William II. Taft,
joint chairman OF the board
When the $4,000 silk workers in Pat
erson went on strike early in February
they demanded a forty-four hour week,
while the employers declared they would
grant fifty hour week only. The work.
ers then amended their demands. saying
they would return TO work on a forty
seven hour basis, while the manufactur-
ers continued their stand for fifty hours.
When the strike was referred to the
War Labor Board a temporary decision
was handed down putting into effect a
forty-two and n half hour week and the
strikers went back to work. They have
been at work under this ruling ever
since.

RAFF WITNESS LEERS

ter Refusing to Testify.

When the John Doe hearing into per-
jury In connection with the Bar murder
case was resumed yesterday afternoon
before Judge Mcintyre. Salvatore Arl-
chiello, a Sicilian. brother of Giuseppe
Arichiello. the confessed slayer Of Bar,
after having wrangled with an italian
interpreter during most OF the time he
occupied the witness chair. ended by
trying to bicker with the court over
the matter of his being required to
reappear this afternoon TO continue his
testimony.
u have Job TO work at, and can't
come" he informed the court through
the interpreter after having been told
to be present this afternoon at 2 30
o'clock.
You must come: that makes no dir
Terence. You be here at the time l
have directed insisted Judge McIn-
tyre.
'If do" said the sioilian, and I
lose my job you'll have to get me a
new one"
"How's thatr' angrily INQUIRED the
Judge. "If you leer at the court again
and speak in that insolent manner l
Will send you to prison Immediately"
Tho witness did not require the aid
OF the interpreter to get the purport of
this last remark. He merely shrugged
his shoulders. appeared to aoquiesce. and
quietly departed.
The testimony Arichiello had given
concerned his efforts on behalf OF his
brother before and after the latter's
trial and conviction for the murder of
Baff. He was questioned about an affi-
davit made at the instance OF Walter
Rogers Deuel.. lawyer, which, together
with other sworn statements, had led to
his brothers being freed under sus-

'X-FACULTY' Barred
IN CHALONER PLEA
Documents Filed With Court
Explain His "Napoleonic
Trance"
TO BE USED IN LIBEL SUIT
Noted Psychologists Declare
Mediumistic Ability Is Far
From Insanity.

John Armstrong Chaloner filed in the
Federal court yesterday documents to
explain the "Napoleonic trance" and
other psychic experiments OF his, which
he contends were the grounds upon
which his family sent him to Blooming
dale in 1899. The documents VIII be
used when his case comes UP before
Judge Dietrich tomorrow on his motion
to dismiss the plea Of abatement lodged
by the newspaper he Is suing for libel
The plea alleges that as an insane per-
son he Is incompetent to sue.
One OF the documents Ia a study of
these frances by DR.. Horatio Curtis
Wood of Philadelphia After his escape
from Bloomingdale Chaloner went to
Philadelphia under the assumed name Of
Childe, and as such induced DR.. Wood.
clinical professor OF nervous diseases at
the University OF Pennsylvania. to take
up his case. In the statement filed yes
terday DR.. Wood describes how Chaloner
developed his ability to go into a trance
through discovery OF his ability to speak
and to write under the control of a sub
conscious faculty. This faculty Chaloner
called his "X-faculty."
Tho statement recites how Chaloner
went into his so-called Napoleonic trance
before Augustus ST. Gaudens. the sculp-
tor. and Stanford White. the architect,
at the Kensington Hotel, New York, in
1897. They were so startled by the re-
semblance of his features to the death
mask of Napoleon. says the statement,
that they persuaded him to desist
Other documents included a statement
by Prof. William James. the Harvard
Psychologist. in which Prof James in
sists that this mediumistic ability should
not be COMPOUNDED with indications OF
insanity. He insists In his review Of
Chaloners psychological experiments
that they showed a high class Of scien-
tiic ability. A further statement by
Prof Joseph Jastrow says that the Sci
entifc conservatism displayed Is the best
guarantee Of Chaloner's sanity.
The last mentioned Psychological ex-
pert asserts that undoubtedly Chalo-

faculty" were deluded into the belief
he was insane when they observed him
under the control Of the subconscious
sense. He differentiates this from actual
insanity. however. by saying that Chal-
oner's normal rational control and this
'X-faculty" control were clearly distin-
guished and that the latter manifesto
ton was so under the control OF Chal-
oner's conscious will that It cannot be
classed as a delusion.
