HYPNOTIZED COP SHOOTS UP CROWD
Kills Three And Wounds Sev- eraI Before Coming Out
 Of His Trance

VIENNA, Dec. 27.-Hypnotized by Prof. Maxmillian bangster, noted
 mesmerist. during theatrical per formance, a policeman of Sebenico spectators, killed three, wounding several and hustled number of others away to the police station. There he came out of his trance and
 was arrested on a charge of mur- der. The hypnotist was also arrested News of the strange tragedy was received here today in dispatch i from Sebenico, which is a town of
 1O 1000 people on the Adriatic sea coast.
 Lancaster announced he would per i form feats of hypnotism heretofore
 never attempted. This attracted a big crowd to the theatre. The mes merist's first subject was a police
 man who smilingly agreed to mount
 the stage and submit to the influence lof Langster's glaring eye and WeaV- ing fingers
 The policeman fell under Lang ster's spell immediately and the hyp-
 notist soon had the audience roaring
 with laughter as he put his victim
 through a number of funny tricks.
 Finally he handed the policeman block of wood and said: Ihls IS
 revolver. Shoot"
 Moving as If In daze, his eyes staring into space like those or a sleep walker. the policeman took the piece of wood. A hush fell over the audience. The block of wood dropped 7 from the subjects fingers and clat-
 tered on the stage. An instant later the policeman produced his own re- volver and began firing Into the au- dience. Screams and cries of the
 terrified people were punctuated by
 the reports of shots.
 Several people slumped In their seats.
 Then the hypnotlzed man leaped from the stage and attacked the spectators He seized a number and herded them together, telling them they were under arrest. Driving them
 before him, he marched them to the police station.
 The hypnotist who had meanwhile | been making unsuccessful efforts to
 bring the policeman out of the spell, | followed. At the station house. Lang
 ster finally succeeded in bringing the
 man out of his condition of mesmer- l ism.

 Strengthened by the satisfactory knowledge that what was first styled revolution has proved merely the masses, President Obregon, in ap parent good health and spirits ex pected today to confer with represen- tatives of Gen. Angel Flores regard ing the possibility of bringing the rebellion to an end.
 General Flores has proposed media ton and if such is discussed 1t will be a sign of Obregon's confidence in his strength, for If Federal superior ity in the field had not been clearly demonstrated, his enemies would be certain to claim it a sign of weak ness that the government was con- sidering 8 peaceful solution of the rebellion.
 Official government announcements give the following summary of the military situation:
 l. East-FederaI forces are advanc- ing towards rebel strongholds, draw ing closer around the state of Vera Curz.
 2. West-GeneraI Estrada's rebel forces are isolated and on the point of being besieged in the city of Qua dalajara The federals have hesitated to lombard the city because of its beautiful churches and buildings. hop ing Estrada may be forced to sur render.
