the theories of Socialism that made
him their greatest exponent, brought
him the disgrace of a federal prison

Debs organized the American

Burnside, Ill, now a part Of Chi

there was a prevalent and frequent

Oldest Member Asserts
That Recent House Was
Most Boss Ridden
BY JAMES DOSS

With the ending Of the epochal
and history 1888 session Of
the Indiana general assembly, there
returns to his home the Oldest
member with the conviction that
the house is the most boss-ridden
legislative body l ever have known. s"
He is Martin T. Kruger, seven
times mayor Of Michigan City ana
former roommate of Eugene v. Debs
when he and Debs served together
in the Indiana legislature of 1885.
Kruger, now 30, always has been
a Democrat since he cast his first.
and losing, vote for President of
the United States. That was in
1876 in Bureau county, Illinois.
when he voted for Tilden and Hen
bricks for President and Vice resi-
dent, and Hayes and Wheeler were
elected.
ROOmed With Debs
The veteran Indiana legislator
cherishes his memories of the gay
times he had with Debs when the
pair was members of what was
dubbed by the press and legislature
of 1885 as the queer Quartet" and
the house temperance committee"
The other two members were
Louis Donhost, who later became
sheriff of Bartholomew county, and
whose son now lives at Jonesville,
and Edward Schmidt, with his
brother, John, owner of the In
dianapolis Brewing Company.
Kruger and Debs then roomed
together at the Grand hotel, still
existent on South Illinois street,
when it and the Claypool, then the
Bates House, we're the city's leading
hotels
Selected by Voorhees,
They spent much of their time
plotting against the peace of mind
and dignity of their more sedate
fellow legislators.
Debs had been city clerk of Terre
Haute and selected by Senator Dan
lei Voorhees, as the only Democrat
capable of carrying Vigo county,
which was strongly Republican.
That was in 1884 VII Voorhees,
had been appointed Governor
Williams to complete The term of
Oliver P Morton, Civil war Gov
ernor and then United States sem
ator from Indiana, who had died in
office.
Since United States senators then
were elected by the legislature, Debs
was able to repay his patron in 1885

Slim figures, the secret ambi-
tion of every fat man and woman,
can now be obtained by a few
moments sleep-that is, sleep in
duced by hynotiSm,
No more worries or frightfully
hot baths or expensive medicines
just a few seconds in the arms
of Morpheus, and presto, the fat
become slim.
Experiments Made
Sounds fantastic doesn't it? But
at St. Elizabeth's Hospital no less
an eminent authority than DR..
Karl H. Langenstrass is con-
Quoting experiments along these
very lines.
There is nothing mysterious
about the treatments, the doctor
explains, and they can not be used
successfully in all cases. The doc
tor puts the subject into a trance
and suggests a diet. The diet,
of course, has been planned with
a view to making the patient thin.
In other words, the patient does
the trick himself-eats the diet
as suggested-but with no hard
ship. Because of the suggestions
made in the trance the patient
develops a violent dislike for the
food which previously he enjoyed
so much-those good old starch
puddings and pies, the things that
made him fat.

Repeal Is Branded
Work of MinOritu

Clinton N. Howard, chairman
of the National United Committee
for Law Enforcement, yesterday

work all the time. In those cases
where there is some internal dis
order or a maladjustment Of the
thyroid glands, DR.. LangenStraSS
is powerleSs to help. It is only
in those cases, according to the
doctor, where diet will or will not
make a person thin.
Drink Controlled
BY the same process the doctor
can make a person stop smoking
or drinking. The patient, by the
words spoken to him and by a
partial paralysis of his own will
power, acquires a distaste for
smoking and drinking-and by
the time the effects Of the trance
or the hypnosis wear away, the
patient has acquired a habit of
refusing to smoke and drink.
DR.. Langenstrass. who believes
that hypnotism is a great aid to
medicine, but that charlatans
have ruined it by commercializa-
ton, IS the father of two children,
and has been a neuro-pathologist
at st. Elizabeth's for three years
Everyone has the ability to
hynotize, the doctor says, for it
is nothing more than using the
power of suggestion for changing
and directing the habits of other
people. He believes that we would
all be better off if we hypnotized
ourselves daily.

GIRLS FLEE FIRE
IN SCANT|ES

It was only a small fire in the
basement of house in the 17OO
block of Massachusetts Ave. N. W.,
but it served to give sleepy fire
men, police and neighbors a
pretty good idea of what young
women wear during their beauty
sleep.
All was quiet when the cry of
"Fire" sent approximately 20
young women from their warm
beds to the street. They were so
alarmed they didn't stop to snatch
up additional clothes.
The firemen were sleepy, too,
it being a. M, but their eyes
popped when they arrived at the
scene. They soon extinquished
the fire and then saw to it that
the scantily clad victims got safely
inside.
Although the blaze was small
there was a great deal Of smoke
and the firemen returned to their
stations rubbing their eyes.

SHAW To AVOID
\, Y. SCR|BES

ABOARD S. s. EMPRESS OF
BRITAIN, at sea, April z Q.N.S0.
George Bernard Shaw will say nix
to New York newspaper men when
they try to interview him, he made
it plain today, although he may
receive reporters when he arrives
at Havana, Cuba.
The dramatist is due to arrive
in New York April II, and when
he gets there, he intends to make
a speech that will settle the af-
fairs of the world.
Evidently Shaw, vegetarian
himself, has q healthy respect for
the New York reporters, most OF
whom, Shaw understands, train on
beefsteak and 80 beer.
A few days ago he confessed he
"trembled' at the prospect Of
"what they will do to me-" and
today he added:
at is not a question of mem
tai preparation for my metro
pOlitan address. / have known
for years what / shall say, but
desire to conserve my physical
energy. / don't want to lick
Dempsey in the afternoon and
whip Tunney in the evening"
Shaw indicated he would de-
cline overnight invitations while
in New York and would sleep
aboard ship. He emphatically de-
MED he would remain in the
United States for three months,
as was rumored.
