HUNGARIAN WIZARD
GETS WOMAN DRUNK
Violates Volstead Law So Far
rs to Turn Water Into Imag-
mary Champagne.

The Blue Room OF the McAlpin fairly
swirled with invisible but neuralgia
psychoses, fragments OF concentrated
thought and staccato commands OF a
young hypnotist last evening in the
course of a demonstration IN mental
telepathy and hypnotis1n given by F'ulop
voros, the youthful Hungarian prodigy,
before a group OF Representatives Of
the press, the public and the profess
sions.'
One lady, submitting to test OF
hypnotism. drank vinegar" and cham
payne" from q glass OF ice water and
then burst into song while under the
influence of the young man. But there
was no violation of the volstead act,
for the champagne" was only the hyp-
motto brand. The performance suggested,
however, that the young Hungarian vis-
itor might be an able sleuth in detecting
violators OF the new Gage-Muilan act
Of the state Legislature IL the person
with whom he worked could concentrate
successfully on the one word "hooch.
The subjects, or media. upon and with
whom young Fulop worked last evening
were volunteers whose concentration was
as necessary as the deep abstraction of
the chief performer as he strode about
the room or investigated third persons
who were warm" or, psychdcally speak
ing, involved in the telepathy. Ones
will had to be 50 strong as to command
the young man in silence to perform the
desired act. Whether 1t was the removal
Of piece Of paper from one person to
another. the transfer Of a gentleman's
.spectacles or an exchange Of ladies hats,
the medium who volunteered to concen-
trade and command put himself to a Sc
we're mental test while he was led around

more than two years ago that he left
an estate In excess of $150,000, and
that he was indebted to the church for
$369.762, the debt arising. 1t was al

brought proceedings In the Surrogates 8
Court under which a referee determined
the exact amount of the debt
In the meantime Julian Strzelecki

and received letters of administration,
declaring the estate was not more than
$4,000. Then, the diocesan authorities
say they learned of the size of the
estate and that the brother had re-
moved $4,000 worth OF jewelry and
securities from the rectory They had
him removed as administrator and he
was ordered to turn over all his late
brothers assets to the new administra-

they do know that II 1t ever becomes

will be shot at from sufficient number
OF directions at once to insure his being

About the only change the local post

NEW YORK MAILS SAFER
WITH SAWED OFF GUNS
Local Postal Men Glad to Avail Themselves of New
Protection, but Old System Always
Worked Well Here

The measure adopted by Postmaster
General Hays by which sawed off shot
guns and large calibre revolvers will be
issued from the War Department to all
postal clerks and carriers having any
thing to do with valuable mall will but
make assurance surer In the case of the
New York city malls. which for years
have been protected by a system so
effective that no crook has raised a
hand to interrupt their orderly handling
and distribution.
At the general Post Office at Eighth
avenue and Thirty-third street yester-
day there was a certain amount OF
qualification over the fact that the
policy adopted at Washington will en-
able the postal service here to have an
equipment of up to the minute arms and
cartridges so that the system which 1t
has relied upon for many seasons may
bo augmented In efficiency by just that
much. With the issuing of the new
shooting pieces will come the formal or
ders to postal men that In such emer-
gencies as are approved by their judg-
ment they are to shoot to kill. Orders
to this effect have never been given
aloud in New York post offices before.
But they too. except that they will be
vocal instead of tacit. will be like the
we'll known Goals to Newcastle.
But for all that the system in use has
worked so we'll and SO long a man must
be In the service himself IL he wants to

New York Herald Bureau,

The War Department to-day an
nounced that bids for the sale or lease
of a large part of the equipment for
merly operated by the Inland and Coast
wise Waterways Service on the New
York State Barge Canal will be received
In Washington up to May is. The
equipment consists of ninety-three
barges and a tug.
This canal had recently been finished,
but up to the present time practically no
regular service has been established
thereon by any commercial common
carrier" the War Department said.
THE sale of this feet of standardized
equipment would seem to offer n Won
derful opportunity for a commercial or
ganlzation to step in to continue and
improve the service previously offered
by the War Department. thereby putting
to actual use the canal project for the
construction OF which the State Of New
York has spent approximately $780,
