Berlin. Dec. 81.
Old fashioned methods Of lovemak-
ing with amorous sighs and timid
compliments may receive death blow
at the hands of hypnotists. since hyp-
notism appears TO be a quicker and
more effective method. as is shown by
papers in a law case which is TO come
before the Berlin courts in February.
Leopold Kikay. a professional hyp-
notist, is charged with having induced
the wifo of well-to-do Berlin mer-
chant, while under his hypnotic influ-
ence. to sell carpets belonging TO her
household, after which Kikay, 1t is
charged, disappeared with the proceeds
of the sale.
In her own defense against the charge
Of having sold the carpets without her
husbands knowledge, the woman de-
clared she did everything charged
against her while she was In trance
and entirely under Kikny's hypnotic in
fluence.
This is the second case 70 come before
the German courts since the Kleppels-
dorf murder case, in which man Is on
trial in connection with the mysterious
death OF two young girls, In which hyp-
notism plays an important part. At the
trial of the Kikay case the court room
where 1t Is heard is expected to resemble
Il medical congress, since numerous ex-
perts will express opinions
In the fall OF 1920 KiSay. II appears,
hypnotlzed another woman, well
known dancer here named Dora Kasan,
with the result that her marked antip-
athy for TSikay was suddenly changed
into love.
Light has been shown on some OF the
chara cteristic features of Berlin life by
Z; c fact that Kikay's ability as hypno-
tist was often resorted to IN order TO
cure women OF Berlin's Upper Ten"
Of the habit OF taking morphine and CO.
calne. merchant named Waite, Il ap-
pears. asked him TO cure Mrs. Valte of
habit. Thus Kikay got acquainted
with Frau Waite. During Herr valte's
absence the sale of the carpets In the
merchants home occurred. kilsay, il is
charged, then left Berlin In company
with Frau Va &c and another woman,
but he abandoned them after while.
Representatives OF both the prosecu-
ton and defense have, however. re-
ceived skeptically Frau Vaite's state
ment that she acted entirely under
Bikay's influence. 1t was pointed out
that she had previously sold objects
from her home without her husbands
knowledge. While. therefore. kll1ay's
guilt has not yet been proved. the case
doubtless will throw new light on
question which is now particularly topi-
cal I'm the German law courts, namely;
cause crime?

VIENNA, Dec. 31.--Foifowing the ac-
ton of the Austrian section of the Rep
aratlon Commission in authorizing the
Vienna Government 10 sell or 70 offer
as security the almost priceless collec-
tion Of Gobelin tapestries from the i'm
perial collection here, Austrian authori-
ties are now seeking similar authoriza-
tion from America, which alone is
needed. England and France have
given their permission. II was authori-
tatively said that II this American per-
mission was obtained Austria would at
once proceed to negotiate for the sale
Of these tapestries. or failing In this. to
offer them as security for loan Of
t3,000.0OO.
II recourse is had TO loan negotiations
they will be held in london, where, It
was said. the tapestries could be pawred
privately. However. hope was expressed
here that America would buy the tap
estries for n national collection. The
money derived from the sale or the
pledging of these tapestries win be used
toward putting Austrian national
finances in order. only American au-
thorizstion is now needed to take this
step.
The collection contains 500 superb ex-
amplcs, generally admitted to be the
finest tapestries IN the world. They
were mostly gifts from Kings of France
and are valued by some experts at 400.-
900, 900 francs or at the present rate Of
exchange $4,000. o.oOo,o 900 Austrian
crowns.
Tho proposal to pawn the collection
Is being widely discussed and resented
by the Austrian press. but the consensus
is that this step is unavoidable in view
of the necessity which exists for raising
money by whatever means in the coun-
try's power.
Herr Rosenberg, assistant Minister OF
Finance, stated in an interview he had
obtained permission from the Repara-
tlon Commission to pawn the tapestries
when he went 10 London.
Americans were the only people con-
sldered in connection with obtaining
credit with this collection as sccurl ty
but it is believed here that large Ameri-
can financiers do not much care 10 lend
money on art objects, Herr Rosenberg
intimated. Be sald. however. the Gov
ernment hoped to be ablo TO use tho
money received from che sale or the
pawning OF the collection TO stabilize the
rate Of exchange on tho Austrian crown.
II II should not be possible TO pawn
thc tapestries the question of borrowing
money on the Austrian tobacco monop-
oily or n lien on the customs receipts
as security will. Il Is said, soon be con-
sidered at conference In London.

any need for French censorship OF either
incoming or outgoing messages II is
suggested that the time is not far dis
tano when Paris correspondents will

Government.
Tho cost OF maintaining land wires
mere is understood TO have delayed the

deed, u Is rarely that one finds a tele-
phone in private residence outside of
Paris. But the extension Of the wire-
less system promises 20 change all this.
The Government is willing to rent the
wireless apparatus nt a rate OF only
s25 q year mile OF communication in
volved and an additional SO a year a

and the maintenance of communica ton

Tho enigma Of personal destiny may
prove to be clearly written IN the lines
OF a mans own finger tips, and this
reading may advance TO the point where
II will become an accurate science TO be
utilized by life insurance companies Il
the assumptions OF Prof. Heinrich Pohl
are borne out by future Investigations.
Prof. Pohl is not TO be associated in
the mind with some OF tho charlatans
who take ten marks from superstitious
visitors TO their garrct rooms He Is an
authority on heredity. He has expressed
his opinions In lecture entitled Cor
relation between finger prints and the
physical characteristics" which ne de-
livered before the Berlin Philanthropical
Society.
Prof. Pohl has studied tho finger
prints OF 5000 individuals. 1000 of them
sane and 1000 insane, and IN ranking
them by classification as to whether they
have lines forming eddies and arcs or
loops singly or In various combinations
hit upon results which to say tho least
are promising.
The same classes OF physical types
have the same classes Of finger tips, no
says, and even racial simiiarIties can be
observed. Long lived persons have diff
ferent tips than short lived ones, from
which fact. since the lines do not alter
appreciably during lifetime. one might
be able 70 determine accurately which in
dividuals are destined TO attain a ripe
old age.
The examination OF the ineane which
Prof. Pohl undertook led to some amaz-
ing results Hc discovered that II q
man had certain number OF loops on
his finger tips II could be said point
blank when he was bora that he would
become an idiot. And since finger and
hand lines follow certain hereditary laws
&c might even he predicted how many
weak minded children parents would pro-
duce.
Prof. Pohl. with the characteristic re-
serve OF the scientist. declined 70 mako
any sweeping assertions. but he declared
positively that further examinations
along these lines OF study were justified
and that this. moreover. was essential
before the theory could be accepted.
