PETERSBURG, Ind, Jan. s.
Testimony in a case involving the
will of William r. Meredith, wealthy
Washington banker, has been fin
ished and Special Judge Herds
Clements, will make a decision to-
day.
More than seventy first and Sec
ond cousins on the mothers side
have established relation to the
banker, while nearly twenty-five
proved their kin ON the fathers
side.
Some forty cousins who live in
and near Terre Haute were ruled
against when they failed to estab-
fish their relation. Arkansas resi-
dents who contend they are half
cousins, still are making a stubborn
fight to prove the relation. They
contend that a half cousin is as
close as a second cousin and should
be included in the will which gives
more than $1,000,000 to first and sec
Ond cousins.

TRY 3 MONDAY
IN WITCHCRAFT
MURDER CASE
Killed Man to Break Spell;

BB bnited Press
YORK, Pa, Jan. s. Reared
among people whose belief in witch
craft and the power of pow vows"
and "hexes" is so strong that educa-
ton has failed to dispel it, a man,
and two youths will go on trial
Monday to learn if they are to pay
with their lives for the tragic out
come of their superstition. They
are accused Of numbering Nelson D.
Rehmeyer. So, a farmer.
John Curry, IA Wilbert Hess, Is,
and John Blymyer, %, believe in
witchcraft. They believed-and still
do-that Rehmeyer, SO, who lived
alone in the country near York
since an estrangement from his
wife several years ago, had "hexed"
them.
Influenced by Doctors"
"Pow WOW" doctors had told
Blymer that he had been "heXed"
by Rehmeyer. That was why Bly,
myer had been sent to the state
hospital for the insane at Harris
burg, from which he had escaped
one day and never returned.
Chickens belonging to the Hess
family had been acting strangely.
The elder Hess and Rehmeyer, &C.
cupying adjoining farms, had had
dispute over the opening of a
road. Then another "pow-wow doc
tor" told young Hess Rehmeycr
was the man who had heXed the
chickens.
Murder Results
Finding themselves both under
the spell" of the same man, Bly,
myer and Hess decided that to-
gether they might be successful in
breaking the spell. Curry was will
ing to help them.
The outcome was the murder
when he beat Reymeyer to death
in attempt to secure a lock of his
hair, which they had been told
would break the spell.

SINCLAIR CASE
PUSHED CLOSER
TO CONCLUSION
Supreme Court Win Pass on
All Questions at One
Time.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. = The
Sinclair contempt case, threatened
with a year or more of legal delay,
has been brought definitely nearer
conclusion by action just taken by
the United States supreme court.
The court on motion of Govern
ment Attorneys Roberts and POM
creme, has announced it will call on
the District of Columbia court Of
appeals for the entire record in the
Sinclair contempt case, and viii
pass on all questions involved in it
at one time.
Previously the supreme court had
set Monday for arguments on five
questions on which the appellate
court had asked instructions, before
giving its decision on Sinclair's APP
peal from conviction and Jail SEM
tence.
Pomerene and Roberts convinced
the supreme court that these five
questions did not cover all points
raised by Sinclair's attorneys in
making their appeal Even after
the five questions had been an
sWered and the appellate court had
handed down its decision, Sinclair's
counsel might have taken a new APP
peal, raising these additional
points.
This would have made it neces-
sary for the higher court to re-
view the case once more. BY con-
sidering the whole matter now, the
supreme court precludes any fur
ther recourse to it, and its instrut-
tions to the appellate court, which
probably will be given this spring,
will, in effect, end the case.
Arguments now are set for Feb.
Is, to give the defense additional
time to prepare for the widened
scope of the case.
Tt soon will be three years since
Sinclair was found guilty of con-
tempt of the senate by a District
of Columbia jury He was given
a three-months jail sentence and
a $500 fine.

FOES DEMAND
LIMITS Be PUT
ON PEACE PACT
Take Floor Today to Seek
Reservations Guarding
Monroe Doctrine.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The de-
tense rested temporarily today its
case for the Kellogg anti-war treaty
and the opposition took the floor to
demand reservations specifically
limiting the world pact from ap-
plication to traditional American
foreign policies such as the Monroe
doctrine.
Adherents Of the pact concluded
their presentation of direct evidence
with the tWo-day speech of chair
man William z. Borah Of the foreign
relations committee, the artful
debater, who wit1stood the barred
questions Of the reservationists and
the Democrats who took the position
either that the treaty is worthless
or that it is full Of meanings which
win involve his country in European
affairs
The opposition was to start its at
tack with Senator George P. Nc
Lean Of Connecticut, a Republican
Teserv3tiOniSt from the old days of
the Versailles treaty fight Mclean
has taken the position that a specific
statement Of the senate is necessary
to safeguard the Monroe doctrine
fully.
Galleries Crowded
The evidence Of the defense
against reservations was based upon
JBorah's statement that the treaty
gives each nation the right of self
defense and permits each nation to
determine what it considers self
defense.
, The session today will be short
The master minds Of the reserva-
tionists, Senator Reed Of Missouri
and Moses of New Hampshire, will
not undertake to present their
lengthy views until next week.
While Borah expects a vote within
a week there is evidence that the
debate is extending its scope.
In recent years the senate never
has had such crowds in the galleries
as have followed the debate for the
last two days. Petitions from or
carnations throughout the country
pleading for ratification and for the
naval cruiser bill have heightened
the interest Of all senators.
Holds Chief Interest
The treaty debate was the all
absorbing point of general interest
in congress, other business being
comparatively minor. Assistant At
torney- General Donovan was re-
called before the public lands COM
mittee for another explanation of
the Salt Greek oil lease decision of
his department and the mystery
which surrounded his summons gave
rise to beliefs that the committee
Investigator, Senator Walsh of Mon
tana. had run upon new point in
the inquiry.
The Indian affairs committee in
vestigation which has been going Oh
all summer was continued and the
subcommittee on appropriations be-
gan work on the agriculture depart
ment appropriation bill
The question before the house
was passage of the war department
appropriation bill, now in the sec
ond day OF debate. The foreign
affairs committee was conducting a
hearing ON the Fish resolution pro-
posing to express the sentiment of
the house that the senate ought to
ratify the Kellogg treaty. The hear
ing is expected to conclude today.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The in
fluenza epidemic now in its ninth
week has taken more than 10000
lives in SIS principal cities reports
to the United States census bureau
showed today
Weekly reports have shown a
steady rise in influenza and
pneumonia deaths since Nov. 3. The
latest report, for the week ending
Dec. %, showed 1857 deaths from
both diseases.
100000 Estimated Ill
Additional deaths are expected

United States public health service

persons now are i'll of "flu" Cases
listed in official reports to the serv-
ice total only 10000 for the week
ending Dec. 90, but this is said to
be but a small fraction Of the actual
cases.
Latest reports to the health serv-
ice indicate decline in the number
of new cases developing, but several
populous states including Virginia,
New York and Pennsylvania, have
not reported. The report for the
week previous was increased by an
estimated 10000 cases in Virginia.

being pushed today under direction
of w. r. Draper. A complete pro-
gram for the gathering to be at
tended by foremost scientists and
public health officials is being cut
lined by DR.. Draper.
Advice to Be Codified
Foremost Of the subjects to be
considered by the conference, DR..
Draper explained, will be the codify-
ing of all advice given the public
during an influenza epidemic. This
data when compiled and system
atized will be published in pamphlet
form. Even though too late for
material aid in the present epidemic
it will prove invaluable in any flu
ture outbreaks, he added.
"We expect to have some of the
best scientific minds in the United
States to help us map out a
thorough program of influenza re-
search and prevention" DR.. Draper
said. Full resources of the health
service, he said, are being modified
to do all possible toward ending the
influenza menace.
