NEW YORK, April 17. Y rtrang*, recurring malady lias marked Miss Annette Dudley, a beautiful and Tal ent# d Tenners#-# girl, a former stu dent of tbe University of Tennessee at Knoxville, now the special bene ficiary of Mrs. \\ K. Vanderbilt. Sr v. Interest and kindness, with a dua ; personality as dlKlnct as that of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It has made her caae a scientific enigma to in most noted brain specialists of this country, whom Mrs. Vanderbilt hac cailed upon to observe and prescribe* treatment for her. The only theory advanced so far by the brain specialist.” to account for this strange malady, is akin to post- hypnoai*. A story i* even told by friends of Miss Dudley that, at college a year ago. a friend, now u; Knoxvill . hypnotised her and that upon coining out of one of these trances she was accused of theft. Under Psychic Influence. Dr. Fraenkel, according to Miss A. Evelyn Newman, general secretary of the Htudio Club, No. 35 Fast Sixty- second Street, has been working on the theory that since that time some strange psychic force may have caused Miss Dudley to resent disloyal acts of her friend, now In Knoxville, by tho.*** thefts. Miss Dudley now is in Sanford Hall, u private sanitarium at Flushing, where she is being treated by Dr. Joel Fraenkel, of Madison Avenue and Eighty-second Street, Mrs. Vander bilt's pergonal physician. She was plat ed there two weeks ago after her arrest in onepf the department store*; charged with the theft of a book of poems. Series of Petty Thefts. Miss Dudley came to New York less'than a year ago from Tennessee, and became an associate member of the Studio Club. Shortly after Miss Dudley went to the Studio Club, said Mis** Newman, the general secretary, little articles, none of them of much value, began to disappear. 'I'hls had been going on for three months, when one day Miss Dudley went to Miss Newman and confessed that .she had taken one of the things that had been missed. "I thought it wh« only a wi'Hknes* and forgave and tried to help her." hhu! Miss Newman, “but the thefts continued, and one day I went to her room while she was away and found nil the articles that had been stolen In her trunk Each was done up nicql.v and she hud made no attempt to line I hem I knew then that she was suf fering from some mentul disease. I eent for Dr. Max D Hchlnpp, the to rve and bruin specialist, and on bis advice took Annette* to Bellevue Hos pital." Mis. Vanderbilt Aid*. Dr Schlapp interested Mrs. Van derbilt in the case and she went with him to visit the girl at Bellevue. Cn der the treatment »»f Dr. Schlapp and Dr. Gregory the girl had passed from her strange mood and Mrs. Vanderbilt became intensely interested in her At tile requeet of Mrs Vanderbilt, Dr. Gregory ditfeharg #1 Miss Dudley from the psychopathic ward and Mrs. Van derbilt took her to the Hotel Vander bilt. The girl spent one nig lit / t here and arrangements then were made to care for her in the rest cure for girls which Mrs. Vanderbilt lias established at No. 2 19 Fast One Hundred and .Six teenth Street Locked Up in Jail. About two weeks ago. Dr. Fraenkel. late at night, was informed that dur ing the afternoon a young woman, who apparently was unable to give guy name to the police, had been ir- rested in a department store charged with slealing a small book of poems and that when searched at tin* police station a memorandum was found in which appeared the names of Mrs. Vanderbilt and Dr. Fraenkel. Dr. Fraenkel hurried to the Wo.n en’s Night Court, but court had ad journed before lie arrived. Miss Dud ley hail been locked up under (lie name of “Jane Doe." The following morning Di Fraenkel found the pris oner was ills patient. Frederick YV. Vanderbilt was called up and In* sent 1500 cash bail for the release of Miss Dudley. Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt is in Paris having sailed March IS. Misti I Dudley, after her release from court, was taken back to Bellevue Hospital and later, at the direction of Mis. Vanderbilt, was sent to Sanford Hall, in Flushing. Girl Well Recommended. "Miss Dudley came to us ivell rec ommended." said Miss Newman, "and all our girls have stood by her loyal ly. I am sorty that the story has be- come public. When the incident o - | curred which caused me to send for | Dr. Schlapp we talked it over in our house committee md every one of the girls was pledged to secrecy. "No one seems o know the ex«i< t I cause or nature of her strange mental disease. Dr. Fiuenkel s theory 1* that some strange hypnotic force may be I i# sponsible for it. He lias questioned her about her chum, and I wrote to (the president #*f the Cniversity of Tennessee asking him if it were true that she had been accused of theft ! there His reply was very formal, ex- pressing the hope that if she were ’ll she would have the best of care and would soon recover. Dr. Fraet kel once thought this hypnotic influence caused her in some wa> to have knowledge of acts of disiovaltv on the part of her chum and that knowledge caused her to commit thefts. That, however, was only one theory that was advanced. The doctors are puzzled They do lot know what to make of her case.” VIRGINIA GOVERNOR BETTER. RICHMOND. VA .

Sewer Contracts Split Into 5 Groups Engineer Brittain Tabulates Bids. Failure to Fulfill Obligations Causes Change. Failure of city sewer contractors during the last several year- to live up to their obligations has resulted in a change of policy regarding -ewer contracts. Instead of letting the con tract for all city sewer:; to one con tracts. the work has been divided into five groups. The following are the low bidders on the work, Sewer Engineer Carl Brittain having tabulated the bids fur a report to Council Monday: Group 1. F. D. Harvey, Memphis. $14,454.50; Group 2. Dysarti Construc tion Company. $16,267; Group 3. Dy- sard Construction Company. $14,668; Group 4. V D. Harvey. $9,717.50; Group 5. F. D. llarvey. $8,612.

Pratt Adams Leaves Barrow’in Line For District Attorneyship. By JAMES B. NEVIN. Things seem to be getting In'o something of a mess in Savannah nowadays, % in the matter of the ool- lectorship of the port there. The rumored withdrawal <»f A. Piatt Adams from the list of those applying for the district attorney- ship has brought back the suggestion that possibly the name of David C. Barrow might be put forward again by Bacon for this position. This is the position originally sought by Barrow, but when Senator Bacon de cided upon Adams, he gave Barrow* his endorsement as collector of the port. Barrow was a strong Wilson man from the beginning, as were "Bob" Hitch and Fred Saussy, also candi dates. It is also understood that Barrow has a good friendly hold on Secretary MeAdoo. Tiie most active candidate for the collectorship recently has been Robert H. Hull, of Savannah. He visited Washington last week in company with Edward T. Brown, of Atlanta, and had an audience with the Presi dent. Colonel Brown is a relative of Mrs. Wilson, and is said to be a great favorite at the White House. He is not a candidate for anything himself, but he is not averse to lending a help ing hand to his friends. Colonel M. J. O’Leary still is in the race, of course. He probably has the support of Senator Hoke Smith, al though it is understood that Senator Bacon’s endorsement will control in the Southern district. Colonel O’Leary has a very strong friend m Secretary Joseph 1*. Tumulty. Among other candidates mentioned for collector is Samuel L. Clay, o» Savannah, who is a close personal friend of the Wilsons and of Senator Bacon. In case Barrow* prefers to take his chances for United States district attorney, it is thought that Clay might secure the endorsement of Senator Bacon for the collectorship. one thing about the collectorship should be stated. Under the new la\. the collectors at Brunswick, Darien and St. Marys have been abolished, and the Savannah collector is in charge of the whole district. This will increase his duties very largely. The salary of the Savannah office is limited to three thousand dollars. They always and invariably play- politics strenuously, and after th- .r own fashion, in Savannah, wherefore the fact that the port collectorship matter already is mixed up worse than a Chinese puzzle need will sur prise few. although its various rami fications are interesting enough. Judge Moses Wright, of the Rome circuit, had Mayor Yancey of Roue attached Lor contempt oT court re cently. Ilis honor, the mayor, should have been present as a witness in the court ,,f his honor, the judge, but forgot it. It generally is risky business to do this sort of thing in Judge Wright’s .•ourt. He promptly had *his honor, the mayor, attached. The mayor eloquently begged the judge’s pardon, however, and the judge tet him off. with a warning •never to let it happen again." His honor, the mayor, promised faithfully that he never would: crossed his heart and hoped to die, if he did. William J. Bryan's Commoner pays tiie following tribute to the late Gov- nor Northern in the current num ber; "William J. Northen. form r governor of Georgia, is dead, but his memorv will long be treasured by men. women and children who were inspired by his ever-willing service to society. Governor Xorthen was a modest man, but the great work h-- did was known outside of his own State and many men of all sections ami of ail parties will join with nis Georgia friends in keeping his mem ory green.’’ The movement to make Floyd County a judicial circuit once more has been started. The business in Floyd abundantly justifies the suggestion, and it is not unlikely that the incoming Leg islature will look with entire favor on the proposition. Charles S. Barrett, of Georgia, and Gifford Pinchot, of New York, who co-operate extensively in their work among the agricultural interests of the nation, ate now in consultation in Washington. # Both expect to attend the forth coming Southern educational confer ence in Richmond. The unterrified and ever-faithful Democracy of Georgia still is sending up an amalgamated, syndicated, and associated prayer to Alexander A. Lawrence, of Chatham, that he heed Old Dr. Y r ox Populi and come back to the Georgia Legislature. If Stovall goes—or when Stov-c.il goes, rather—to Switzerland, the folks around and about will not be satis fied unless Lawrence agrees to tak? his place in the House. The Augusta Chronicle is» worry ing over who •will pay the income tax. The Chronicle opines that if the payer's income arises from ren;s, rents will go tip: if it arises from the grocery business, groceries will go up: if he is a lawyer, lawyer's fees will go up. And so forth, and so on. Looks to the Chronicle, indeed, as if the old reliable ultimate consumer is destined to another crack on the noodle.

Reverses Policy of “Golden Rule” Chief Police to Punish Not Reform Criminals Is Edict of New Cleveland Head. CLEVELAND. * April 17.—PolDe Chief \\ r . S. Rowe, successor to Fred Kohler, “the golden rule” Police Chief, who was removed from office on charges has decided on a policy ! n handling the affairs of the police de partment of this city directly oppo site to that of his predecessor. Kohler, emphasized the necessity of the police reforming the criminal eases. Chief Rowe believes in pun ishment' for transgressions, instead of looking first/to reform. "I am not a reformer." said Rowe in a recent interview. "It is not the business of the police to reform; ve catch the criminals and let the peopl who get them after we are through do any reforming that is necessary." Although the social evil problem is handled under instructions from the city administraton, Chef Row* is considered certain to advise even more repressive regulation than the present police methods. His belief is said to be that the tenderloin is not a necessary part of the city. He has told his associates that he con siders it a canker, not a serious dis ease, that m£y or may not be eradi cated. Against gambling.
