Hurrlsburg. l'u., Murcli 19. Any doubt lis to the position of the leaders at the state capital on E. N. Wlliurd's cundlduey fur superior court Judge, was sot at rest today. For weeks the news papers have referred to the proposed uppolntment of CVlnel hippie as com missary general, and Major W'arren as Judge udvoeate general. Colonel Hippie's uppolntment was sent to the state senate today und promptly continued, but Major War ren' name did not accompany It. The reason is that in cae the court is created Mr. Wlllard will be appointed Judge, and the Judge advocate general ship will be tendered to unother sec tion of the state. Mr. O'Mulley is ener Kentlc in Mr. Wlllard's behalf, and claims the entire Northeastern Penn sylvania want the Scrauilonlau and will have no other. - The state custodian bill passed sec ond readlyg on a special order today in the house and will be considered to morrow on third reading. Mr. Kunkel, who has churgd of the measure, had It amended by Inserting the word "super intendent" for "custodian" wherever It occurs. The opponents of the bill tried to amend It so as to reduce the salary of the bookkeeper from $1,000 to $1,200 a year and the capltol park policeman from $yu0 to $000 a year, but their efforts were futile. After the bill had passed, 'Mr. Martin, of Lawrence, moved to reconsider the vote by which the ilfteenth section had been passed. He explained that his purpose of his motion was to move to cut down the salary of the superintend ent from $3,000 to $20 a year. Mr. Kunkel hoped the motion would not prevail. He thought the salary was not small In view of the duties imposed on the superintendent. Mr. '.Martin re plied that there were lrt.WO men in the state who could till the place satisfac torily and creditably for $2,500 a year. Mr. James said he could find 10.000 men in the state who would take a seat in the house of representatives at $1 a day. The motion was defeated. The Htcks bill to establish free pub lic employment bureaus In cities under the discipline of the chief of the bureau of industrial statistics was killed on llnal passage. When the bill was reached Mr. Fow sent to the clerk's jjesk, to have read ns a part of his re "marks, an editorial in a Philadelphia newspaper against the measure. Sir. Hicks replied that the newspapers were opposed to the bill because. If it became a law, it would seriously affect the rev enues from the want columns. Mr. Stewart said the bill was a mis nomer. Its title ought to read, "A bill to supply contractors, corporations and companies with cheap labor free of cost to themselves." He said he had consulted with many of the leading worklngmen of Philadelphia on the bill and that they were opposed to it. The bill would attract the Idle people from adjoining states to Pennsylvania. Mr. Fow contended that If the bill became a law the state will be overrun with tramps. Dr. Parcels favored the' bill because it would benefit the honest la boring men out of employment seeking work. The bills to abolish days of grace on promissory notes, drafts, etc., and pro viding that when such obligations ma ture on Sunday or legal holidays they hall be due the next business days thereafter and establishing a state live stock sanitary board and to provide for the control and suppression of danger ous, contagious or Infectious diseases of domestic animals passed finally. The Clarency amedment to the banking bill to relieve building and loan associa tions from making semi-annual reports to the commissioner of banking also passed this stage on a special order. The vote was considered by 'which the bill requiring fire Insurance com panies to pay the face value of their policies was defeated last Thursday on second reading. RECORD OF ONE DAY.

The governor says more than thirty one years .have elapsed since the al leged Injury was received in the ser vice of the state and the lapse of time makes It difficult to establish the claim and right to bind the state. He sug gests that the legislature should es tablish some tribunal to determine the merits of such claims before appropria tions are made. The only bill which caused a flurry was defeated. It was the Focht bill In creasing the amount of preferred claims for wages from $100 to $500 and the time from six months to one year.

The Mutter Now the Chief Topic ut Wash ington. Washington, March 19. At the state department as well as In the cabinet meeting the Xlcaraguun and Venezu elan matters have assumed the lead over the Spanish incident.

Would THE PARROHAID HELLO And .Mabel Brij(s Immediately Felt Hypnotic Influence. FICKIN AM) SON DISCHARGED. Theories of the Prosecution in the Kuu Clulre Cuso Are Rejected hy the Court. Hypnotism Not Countenanced by Judgo llullcy. Eau Claire, Wis., March 19. One of the famous hypnotism cases has fallen through In the circuit court. Tho case of the state against Dr. George W. Plckln und his son, Asagail Plckln, charged with criminally assaulting Mabel ilirlggs, was nolle prnssed by the district attorney as to Dr. Plckln, and the case as to Asagail was continued. Dr. Plckln was In court, but none of the lirlggs family was there. District Attorney Farr had made up his mind not to go Into court, with a line of evi dence which would have to be sustained by a theory of hypnotism, and that he could not convict the doctor. Asagail Is still in Jail. For nearly six months the people of F.au Claire have talked of little else but the P-riggs case, now frequently allud ed to as the Plckln case. Public knowl edge of the crime was Jlrst obtained early In September. It was then learned that little ICdna Mabel Brlggs, the pret ty ltl-year-old daughter of Joseph M. Brlggs, a wealthy and respected citizen of F.au Claire, had been criminally as saulted, nnd that her health was there by In a critical condition. The girl had been absent from her home for thirty four hours, and neither her father nor mother had knowledge of her where abou'f. They were ulmost distracted, and the while town became alarmed. The girl was finally discovered in com pany of Asagail Plckln. A policeman forcibly took her from the presence of young Plckln, and later she wus re moved to her home, where her sad condition was discovered. The girl was dn;.cd. and seemed to be under some myitlc spell. Dr. Mint's Discoveries. Nothing of a definite character could be elicited from her. A suspicion wus created thut the girl was being con trolled by some occult power. Dr. Her bert Flint, a hypnotist, living In Chi cago, wus sent for, and placed the girl, so It Is alleged, under .hypnotic Influ ence. While In that condition she told her story, which, short of detail, was thut for tlnys and weeks she had been under hypnotic Influence, absolutely without will power of her own, either positive or negative. Thnt while In thut condition two men hud accomplished her ruin. Further hypnotism induced her to name them us the Plcklns. The girl Is suld to have hypnotized young Plckln at n test In the ofllce of the attending physician Dr. Parker. The chief of police, Lafuyefte Klllott, who wus present, vouches for this, nnd says thnt while Plckln wns under hyp notic Influence Dr. Parker ran a knlf through the patient's wrist; that he gave no evidence of feeling It and pal l no attention to It. Young Plckln has the scar on his right wrist and showed It to the correspondent. Another feature of this remarkable case brings In ns a principal a young girl of U years, Alma Leonard, the daughter of Fred Leonard, a wealthy Wisconsin lumbermen. The Misses Leonard and Brlggs were warm friends, and according to the statements In the hands of District At torney W. H. Frawley, these girls were ubducted by Dr. Plckln through hyp notic power und taken to Chippewa Fulls. There they were taken to a house of 111 repute, but were refused udinlt'tuhce on account of the protest made by Inmates of the house to the proprietress. They were returned to their homos, they claim, under the same Influence, und the doctor accompany ing 'them both wuys.btit keeping behind them and' holding no conversation whatever with them. During the taking of testimony In the trial In the circuit court, Judge Wil liam V. Halley, who presided, culled the prosecution a "damnable outrage on law nnd Justice," and Buys: "I will not allow uuy hypnotism absurdity In tho evidence of the prosecution." A peculiar feature of the case Is that Mubel rtrlgga said she first came under thd Influence of the Plcklns through the medium of a poll parrot which call ed "hello" to Iter us she was passing the doctor's place tin her bicycle. She returned the chat With tho parrot and claims that she then begun to feel the hypnotlo power of the doctor. N ROUTED THE REBELS.
