Fooled by Telephone!
ON the New York Sun.

From the New 1Orh sun
In the writing of modern plays the
dramatic tyro is warned not TO rely
upon the telephone because it has
been too greatly overworked, and yet
in real life drama the other day a
modern cave man who kidnapped his
sweetheart against her will was
brought to book by telephone. No
BROADWAY meiodrama could be more
exciting than this episode.
Mabel Sandberg of Jamaica. L. l.,
a year-old girl, was kid
naped by her suitor. Charles A. Lind
say. a man she had rejected because
he had been married and could not
prove that he was divorced. Lindsay,
after taking the girl to a motion pic
ture theater. threatened her with
revolver unless she ACCOMPANIED him
to Newark, n. J., and married him.
kidnapped princess usually left frag-
rnents of her handkerchief or dress
uuon the bramble bushes as clues for
her rescuers; but things are not done
that way in the twentieth century
when folk use subway tubes and tele
phones Miss Sandberg. who is
quick tilted young woman. went with
her cave man to the Jamaica railroad
station, where she slipped into the
woyen's room and telephoned the
facts to her father. He notified the
Jamaica police and they got into touch
at once with the Newark agents Of
the law.
Thus, when this Lochinvar of the
subway left a tube station in Newark
with his bride-who was not -to-be. he
was promptly nabbed by the police.
A loaded revolver was found on him
and he was held for the grand jury.
The telephone may be an over
worked prop" on the stage. but it is
n potent force in everyday life. When
one thinks of the lives IT has saved.

PSYCHOANALYSIS AS A SPORT

From the New York Sun.
1t is a current social diversion much
IN vogue in some quarters. to sub
nit to pSychoana1ysis. The process
has even acquired a slang name; it is
referred to as being "psyched" It
is great fun, the devotees declare, 1t
partly satisfies ones curiosity about
that most fascinating of subjects.
ones self. 1t induces a feeling as of
having mental vermiform appendices
removed to distinct advantage And
it provides an endless topic of con-
versation. Those addicted to toying
thus with psychology would resent
comparison with manipulators of the
ouja board who believe in spirit mes
sages. Psychoanalysis, they would
say. has nothing supernatural about
it. it is strictly scientific, and many
of them would add an expression of
disbelief in the supernatural. But it
may be suspected that the fad pre-
walls among the dilletanti. in some
degree at least from what might be
called, in Freudian terms. repressed
superstitious craving. The bland
faith in the professed psychoanalyst
the laboratory rites, the blind accep-
tance of deductions, recall the wide
spread addiction to various sorts Of
magic in the past. and suggest that
som ething more than a purely intel
lectual devotion to science is involved.
The lay Freudians are closer kin to
the Greek at the Oracle than to the
up-to-date biologist.
Psychoanalysis is a relatively new
venture in experimental psychology.
1t is in a pioneer stage, resting upon
certain hypotheses about "the uncon-
scious'' There is wide divergence Of
opinion among scholars as to the val
idity of it's deductions. Even its
stanchest champions consider it ex-
perimental. process to be tested at
every point. an exploration into
realms little known to science. Freud's
method Of interpreting dreams and
his ascrption of much in mental life
to the sex impulse are taken as pos
tulates, not as verified truths.

MAN Is MISSING,
MASONS SEARCH
Jamaica Lodge Looking for Lost
Member in Woods
New York, Nov. 11.-Members of

New York, Nov. i'm embers of
the jamaica Lodge Of Masons will
leave that place this morning in auto
mobiles to search the woods near
Brentwood, Queens. for Henry L..
Norton, formerly treasurer Of the ia
maica Water Supply company and
master of the Jamaica Masonic lodge,
who disappeared Tuesday from DR..
Ross Health Institute at Brentwood.
1t is feared that Mr.. Norton, who is
S4 years old, has wandered into the
woods and died.
Mr. Norton has been at the inst-
tute about six months and when mem
bers of his family visited him he did
not appear to be dissatisfied with his
surroundings and treatment He told
them he wanted to go to jamaica and
vote, but he accepted their cXplana-
ton that he could not vote because
he had not registered, Members of
his family told the police that they
think he may have decided to try to
vote after all and left the health in
stitute to go to Jamaica,
When he was last seen Mr.. Norton
wore dark clothing, ovcrcoat and hat
and carried a cane with a crook
handle and a silver band. He also
had a moonstone in his tie. He has
snow white hair and side whiskcrs
and wears gold trimmed spectacles.
He had lived for many years in ia
maiCa, and was well known there.
He was a veteran of the civil war.
The police also have sent out a gem
eral alarm for Solomon Kaplan of 619
Saratoga avenue, Brooklyn, Il clothing
manufacturer, who disappeared on
Wednesday, October &c. On that day
according to members of his family,
he left for his factory, at Thatford
and Dumont avenues, carrying about
$4,000 in his pocket, and has not
been seen since. Members of his
family gave the police several theor-
les to account for Mr.. kaplan's dis
appearance, one of them being that
he might have become sudde emily af-
fected mentally. They said last night
that part of the $4,000 was in Amer
lean Express money orders, but did
not know. why he should have money
in that form. Mrs. Michael Gold
reyer, his daughter, said last night
that the family would pay "a reward
of SIS to any person who would find
him.
