Man Charged With
Misuse of Hypnotic Power

Berlin, Feb. 8.-German criminol
ogists, psychologists, medical and le-
gal experts will, hold Congress
over the cssrl!of Eevpois-- szise:r si..ys
Kittay, a Galacian, whose trial on
charges of misuse sof hypnotic pow
ers was set to begin here today.
They have been summoned for opin-
ions on psychology, hypnotism, sug
gestion and mental responsibility of
persons who commit crimes Will
hvpnotized.
kittay,, who practiced hypnotism
under the name of Lo Kittay, is al
legged to have influenced his clients to
sell or pawn their valuables and give
him the money. He will also be held
to answer charges of immortality 70,
he is said to have had great influence
over women, one of whom, the wife
of well known merchant, tried to
sell her house and furnishings with
out her husbands knowledge and sue
'Ceded in raising a considerable sum
" ihNh Sic gave lHe ny pnOllSI.
He used part of the money in max
.ng brief tour of German cities
where he gave public exhibitions of
his power over the merchants wife
who, with friend, accompanied him
The complaint against Kittay cites
as an example Of his influence that
h hypnotizcd 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 appeal
eel to Kittay for assistance and in
some instances he is alleged to have
put the women to sleep and while in
this condition suggested they sell or
pawn their vauables or the property
of their husbands, proceeds Of which
transactions he pocketed.
Kittay's defense will attempt to
show the clients themselves were
"riminally inclined and committed
the offenses without undue influence
on the part of the hypnotist.

Woman Appointed
Mayor of Town

Magnetic Springs, O., Feb. s.--Mrs.
Mary McFadden, who was eighty
years old last December, has been
appointed Mayor of this village and
thereby hangs a tale of how the sec
retary of the commerce club here
originated and put through to sue
cessful conclusion, the idea Of bring
ing publicity to health resort whose
popularity appeared to be waning.
As Secretary Williams of the Com
mercc club tells it, this little heal h
resort of 200 residential citizens,
tucked away in the country, IA miles
over rutty roads from the nearest
town, Delaware, was in rut and
something had to be done.
When Mayor Nathan o. Brown an
nounced his intention of spending the
winter in Florida, Secretary Williams
conceived the idea. "We viii ap-
point woman mayor" he suggested
and prevailed upon Mayor Brown tc
name Mrs. McFadden to act during
his absence. giving as his reason that
Mrs. McFadden was the oldest wo
man in town capable of acting as
mayor during Browns absence.
This was done and Secretary Will
liams got busy in the publicity enc
of the venture. Almost overnight
Magnetic Springs became known a:
he home of the oldest woman mayor
n the country. The old bus to Dele
ware that had almost stopped op
Grating for lack of patronage, once
more took on life and did a thriving
business, particularly with newspaper
cporters and curiosity seekers.
Mrs. McFadden met the newspaper
boys and frankly told them: 81 hardly
know what it is all about" Secre
| ary Williams issued announcements
'oncerning her policies.
But this was not all. The state Of
icials at Columbus questioned the le
rality of her acting as mayor. The!
pointed out that the job automatical
V fell upon the shoulders of the pres
dent pro tenn of the village council
| Secretary Williams was equal to tn
emergency. He induced council
man to resign, if necessary and thcl
induced the president pro TEN to re
sign as president of the council ant
the way was paved to have Mrs. Nc
Fadden fill the position as presiden
pro TEN of the council and thereb!
assume the Office of mayor.
And Magnetic Springs has becom,
| thriving village, according to Sec
| 'etary Williams.

Chicago's Collector
Of Ancient Relics

Chicago, Feb. Brisk and kindly
eyed, at 80 years, Chicago's most ex-
tensive collector, Edward Everett
Aver, is now rounding out his con-
quests of the past.
Younger Chicago has forgotten, if
it ever knew, that Mr.. Aver was first
president of the $S,0O0,000 Field
Museum of Natural History on it's
lake front, but it gapes at the Egyp-
tian mummies he himself bought
along the Nile and the American In
dian collection he gave the museum
1t perhaps does not generally know
that for 80 years he has been n trus-
tee of it's Art Institute, nor that he
gave the Newberry Library the
greatest collection yet made of Am
erican Indian literature.
Chicago has other wealthy men
who are great collectors, but none
range of whose interest has been Sc
broad. Their tastes ran chiefly tc
art and books, his to natural history
1t was a strange turn that led this
| farmer boy and later lumberman t
gather the treasure of kings palaces
but stranger still that his inspiration
| should have come from an old histor!
of Mexico.
"All the success | have had in col

II it was Prescott's History o.

ness that kept him there. Mr.. Aver:

Russia's Mail
Service Improving

Moscow, Feb. THE mail service
Of Russia is improving and now let.
ters and money orders sent to points
within Russia are reasonably certain
of delivery. Also letters from
abroad are delivered.
Letters sent from the United
States reach the person to whom,
they are addressed after a month OF
six weeks. The delay is due to the
censorship. There's nothing secret
about the work of the censors. 1t is
perfectly apparent that they have
opened letters because they wish to
know the contents. The letters are
steamed and during the process the
United States stamp and the muci-
lage of the flap come off.
After the censor has examined the
contents and made any notes or
copies Of the contents the letter goes
out for delivery. The delivery serv-
ice is so good that letter will follow
the addressee about for weeks, from
address to address, until he Is found

A Plea For
Grading Sunday Schools

Chicago, Feb. IA plea for the
grading of all Methodist Episcopal
Sunday schools was made here today
by Rev. Roger Albright, chairman of
the elementary department of the
Board of Sunday Schools of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in submitting
his annual report to that board.
"In many instances the whole Sun.
day school meets in one ROOM" Rev
Albright said in his report. "Such a
condition as this is very discouraging
to graded work. Just as soon as a
school ses its way clear to separate
he children according to grades, it is
the inva riable result that graded les
sons are introduced. The strongest
'mphas,s Of the elementary depart
ment is upon recognition Of the grad
cd principle in Sunday schools"
In speaking of the inefficiency of
unframed Sunday school teachers the
report said: There are many teach
ers who have not as yet felt the obi
eation to fit themselves for then
work. One needs only TO observe such
teachers work to realize how essentia
{. trained teacher is if we are to get
he best results from any curriculum
Ne are constantly faced with the fac
# the misuse of even our graded ma
'erials because teachers have not the
method by which those pupils are to
be taught. In too many cases the de-
partment of superintendent has not
grasped the graded principle.

THE TRAIL OF THE DOLLAR.

Whenever there's a chance to bring
money to a town, n will see com
mercial clubs falling over themselves
to attract it. We offer for their con-
sideration the sensational murder as
a business getter.
New Brunswick, Nj, has been
linked up with a murder mystery for
months. A minister and his choir
leader were found dead. There W.
in the LAST all the elements OF sensa-
tionalism; the erring cleric, the eter-
nal triangle, sudden death, mystery,
conflicting stories. The general pub
lie demanded details and the press
sent into New Brunswick a battalion
of newspaper men to send out the
information.
The invasion of newspaper men
brought to New Brunswick more d1-
rect profit than an automobile our
list camp or a county fair. For three
months the reporters and feature men
lived there, in hotels and restaurants,
enjoying the New Brunswick amuse-
ments, buying necessaries at New
Brunswick stores and, above all,
pouring into the New Brunswick tele-
graph office such a mass of copy as
was never cleared there before. 1t is
estimated that the murder brought
800, 900 to the city.
1t is interesting to speculate on the
sort of things that boom towns. One
community gets a big public build
ing erected and scores of thousands
are spent in the construction. An
other is made prosperous by the build
ing Of a railroad. A third gets it's
harvest from a murder. Marion, Ill,
may profit largely from the Herrin
riot trials. The trail of the dollar
is a meandering trail, neither straight
nor narrow.-Statesman.

SUZZALO'S

The action of the board of regents
OF the University Of Washington in
boosting the salary of President
Suzzalo from $12, 900 to $4,000 a year
is creating quite a furore in our
neighboring state. While the advance
does look pretty strong, and prob
ably surprised Suzzalo himself, who
no doubt expected a raise of a few
hundred as a Christmas remember
ance, the fact remains, as the chair
man of the board of regents states,
and as a number Of Washington news
papers state editerially, that Suzzalo
has been the compelling factor in
bringing the university to it's present
place among the educational institu-
lions of the country, and that other
institutions have offered him more
mon than he will be getting when
the advance goes into effect. The
state has a heavy Investment in the
university plant, where it is expected
thousands of the states young people
will tit themselves for their life work.
While it would no doubt be possible
to get a man to take the place as
head OF the institution at a much
smaller salary, there is always the
