ment Of the community that realizes

Disregard Of one statute inevitably
must breed a lack OF respect for the

Twice during the long succession
Of roll calls, which was witnessed by
one Of the largest gallery crowds that
ever has attended senate session,
opponents of the treaty broke over
the rule against debate to inject re-
marks into the record. One OF these
occasions was when Senator john
son asked for a vote on the reserva- :
tion originally presented in commit
tee by Senator Brandegee, Republi-
can OF Connecticut, and proposing
that the United States assume no
moral or legal obligation to use force
under the treaty.

request Of the PRESIDENT"

johnson before the presiding officer
ended the discussion by belated
tattoo with his gavel.
The reservation was voted down,

supporting IT,
Later, Just as a final vote was to be
taken on ratification, Senator Hitch
cock, Democrat Of Nebraska, asked
on the privilege Of point of order,
whether the declaration accompany
ing the treaty signed at the same
time by the arms delegates and de-
cIaring that purely domestic issues
are not to be within the scope of the
agreement, was actually part OF the
pact.
Vice President Coolidge, presiding,
replied that he did not care to rule
on the question because the declara-
ticn was not before the senate and
Senator Hitchcock asked when and
how 1t would then be possible to
amend the declaration. He con-
tended that If the declaration was not
a part of the treaty, it would not be
binding and hence domestic issues

to amend the bill TO meet the OBJ
iections that had been made, and
with that understanding IL was fa-
vorably reported by the committee.
After the adjournment Of the sem
ate Mr. Cragin. who had been sent
for, arrived His presence half an
hour earlier would no doubt have
left the matter of amendment unnec-
essary. There is no disposition to
impede the progress of the bill on
which action will be taken on Mon
day
Three bills were passed by the sem
ate without diyision MIR. Gales bill.
relative to court costs in cases in
which public agencies are litigants;
Mr. Hays domestic Insurance bill,
and the bill amending the law relat-
ing to supervisorial elections so that
one holdover will be left at each
election. This bill had been brought
back from the office Of the governor
to correct an error.
Speaking Of errors, house bill 2, the
Kimball amendment to the Improve
| ment Act, is in peculiar and not a
particularly safe position. That bill
had been passed by both houses and
sent TO the governor, where it was
discovered that the title referred to
matter which had been stricken out
Of the bill. 1t was returned to the
house. which made that correction.
There are two theories as to the next
step to be taken with relation TO IT,:
One is that 1t might be presented TO
the senate for a simple concurrence
in that amendment. Another is that
the bill is now substitute bill, in
which case it would have to take it's
regular course in the senate. IL is
not quite certain In the present dis
turbed state whether there will be
time for that.
When Will Session End7
Nobody knows how much longer
the session will last. Chairman
Goodell of the senate appropriations
committee was observed yesterday
examining a wall calendar. IT was
observed also that he had turned over
the March leaf and had invaded
april In reply to question he
said that probably another appro-
priation bill for the current and con-
tingent expenses OF the legislature
would be offered on Monday. The
appropriation for the 40-day session
will be exhausted tomorrow night.
The outstanding event of the house
in the afternoon was the failure to
pass senate bin s, providing for an
inheritance tax. The bill carried the
emergency clause and failed TO secure
the necessary two thirds vote. Seven
members were absent. Votes were
changed to nay for the purpose OF
reconsideration. The vote was as
follows: :
Ayes--Barry. Baxter, Boehringor
Burk, Bush, Ellsworth, Frazier, Gale,
Gilliland, Hall, Hays, Jones, Mat
thews, Mccullough, McGrath, Miller,
Phillips, Wilson'S.
Nays-Barkell, Cobbe. Curlee Far
rell, Haynes, Kinney. Knight Neal,
Remington, Schupp, Snyder, Stewart,
Wylie, the speakers.
In the morning session OF the sem
ate bill was introduced by Mr..
Schupp amending the irrigation dis
trict law by changing the manner
of voting under which at present a
majority Of owners of land prevail.
Complaint has been made that per-
sons who have made large invest
nents In irrigation districts have
been outvoted to their disadvantage
by large number of owners or sinatl
acreage. Under the Schupp bill acre

ACCUSE A GERMAN HYPNoTlsT

Leopold Miecyslaw Kittay. Galician
held on charges of misuse of hypnotic
powers. They have been summoned
for opinions on psychology, hypnot-
ism, suggestion and mental respons-
ibility of persons who commit crimes
while hypnotized.
Kittay Is alleged to have influenced
his clients to sell or pawn their yalu-
ables and give him the money. He
will also be held to answer charges
OF immortality for he is said to have
had great influence over women one
OF whom, the wife OF prominent
merchant tried to sell her house and
furnishings without her husbands
knowledge and succeeded in raising
A considerable sum which she gave
the hypnotist
He used part OF the money in max
Ing a brief tour of German uties
where he gave public exhibitions Of
his power over the merchant wife,
who, with friend, accompanied him
The complaint against Kittay cites
as an example OF his influence that
he hypnotized a dancing girl while
she was on the stage. compelling her
to fall asleep and abandon the per-
formance. This girl is said to have
detested the hypnotist. but could not
resist his hypnotic power.
A number of husbands whose wives
were addicted to drug habits appealed
to Kittay for assistance. and in some
instances he is alleged to have put
the women to sleep and while in this
cordition suggested they sell or pawn
their own valuables or the property
OF their husbands, proceeds of which
II transactions he pocketed.
Kittay's defense will attempt TO
show the clients themselves were
criminally inclined and committed the
offenses without undue influence on
the part OF the hypnotist.
