History of a Strange Case That Bat ties Saginaw Doctors. Saginaw physicians are completely baffled by the case of a 16-year-old boy in St. Mary's hospital who has been In a deep sleep for three weeks following a year of strange hallucina tions. The boy belongs to a prominent family and his Identity is being kept secret, but his case Is being watched by physicians and specialists in Bay City, Saginaw and Detroit. Dr. M. R. Bradley, the physician in charge, says it has been diagnosed as auto-hypnotism. The history of the case is as follows: One year ago the boy. then 15 years of age. became the victim of the hal lucination that his room was haunted. It is related that for weeks he did not close his eyes in sleep. Each night at varying hours, he said, a woman en tered his room carrying a satchel. She would look at him. then turn around, put down the satchel and walk out again. The boy was a strong, healthy lad when he first became the victim of this phantasy. He had no known bad habits, did not smoke cigarettes and was an average boy in his pastjmes. But he gradually lost flesh aud three weeks ago he suddenly passed Into a cataleptic state. Respiration and pulse practically ceased and he was to all appearances dead. He regained in this condition for two days under the constant care of Dr. Bradley and when he was fiuul ly roused slightly his mother said: "Did you know that Dr. Bradley had been here, dear?" "Yes, and the undertaker, too; I know that I am dead." Then he went to sleep again. Since that time the delusion that he is dead has never left the boy. At times he can he aroused a little for a moment or two and he Invariably walls: "I am dead; I am dead." His body is perfectly rigid and will remain in any position In which It is placed. The hands will remain open or closed: the arms outstretched or folded; his eyes open and staring or closed as may be. He is given very little nourishment, as he cannot be awakened long enough to get him to take food. The physicians who are watching describe the condition as suspension of voluntary motion and sensibility. The respiration is down to less than four per minute and the pulse very low, while the body Is cold and when touched has the feeling of dead flesh. One physician who says he observed over- "0.000 cases of nervous trouble in a Chicago hospital practice, says that he never saw one such as this. It Ib the general opinion of the medical men that if the boy should recover his physical condition, bis mind will be completely wrecked. Not in Contempt. Because counsel employed by the broom-makers' union to inquire to in quire into the broom-making contract at Jackson prison decided that no technci.l violation of the law exists, the contemplated contempt 'proceed ings against Warden Armstrong and the board of control will not be pushed. Deputy Attorney General McGill, on behalf of the. state, and E. S. Grcee, for the union, conducted the inquiry. They and Samuel T. Penna, secretary of the Michigan Federation of Labor, are satisfied that there has been no violation of the supreme court's man date that no more new men shall be employed on the contract. Schoolboy Feud. Clarence Rohr, aged in. of Pomona, Sunday night stabbed Arthur Chub, the same age, behind the left ear with a jack-knife, the blade linking over 3 inches into his neck.

The Sugar Trust Stands for Murder, Nothing Else," Says Burrows. "The sugar trust stands for murder, nothing else," said Senator Burrows, of Michigan. "That combination is not satisfied with fair business competi tion; it Is for the starvation and stifling of its competitors. And that is what makes the attitude of the presi dent relative to the scope of control congress ought to exercise relative to commerce so interesting. "There is no doubt that If all the ter. ritory in the state of Michigan suitable and adapted to the cultivation of the sugar beet were to be put to that use we could produce sugar to feed the world. Secretary Wilson has told me so. Yet If rebates can be continued, under the guise of state control of purely state commerce, it must re main a fact that the trust can domin ate the situation in Michigan as long as the railroads are in harmony with it. And for that matter in all other sugar states. "I am not clear that the president's so-called position is tenable. That Is, I am not absolutely certain that the federal government can control all commerce, whether Interstate or Intra state, but I must confess that many of the decisions of the United States su preme court look strongly in that di rection. The first speech I made In the house ?,?, years ago, was on this sub Ject, the first Interstate commerce act j being then under consideration, and , i remember l tnen looked up tne prec edents and authorities thoroughly. They were entirely agreed that al' interstate commerce must be unde the single and undivided control ano supervision of congress, but on the question of control of such business as originated within a state and did not leave the state they seemed to hold that the state had the sole right to legislate. At the same time some of the greatest decisions, while apparent lv sustaining this idea, were worded In such terms as to possibly sustain tne president In the position I under stand he would like to hold." Corporation Cure. Federal license as a means of con trolling railroads and trusts, it is said, will be the corporation cure advocated by President Roosevelt. He will give his views in a speech at the opening of the Jamestown exiositlon in May. To squeeze the water out of corpor ations he will advocate a general ap praisement of real values. He plans to make Investors sure that their money will not be squandered. Isaac N. Seligman, the banker, had a talk with the president Wednesday. He said afterwards: "Tke president will do any thing he can to allay want of confidence. He does not see. how ever, what he can do. He is not respon sible for the action of the state legis latures. He is willing to meet the railroads half way." THE MARKETS.

Commander of Warship Tells lr Graphic Fashion of Experiences During the Fighting at Tsu shima in Late War. C'apt. Vladimir Semenoff of the Rus sian navy one of the survivora of 'tit great naval battle of Tsushima in war with Japan, writes of bis expe riences recently in a published vol ume, lie was on board the Suvo:-.T, the Russian flagship. Capt. Semen off tells of " the stupor which peern to come over men who have never In- u In action before when the flrtt Bh-ll begin to fall. A stuior which turn easily and Instantaneously at ti.e most Insignificant external fhot into either uncontrollable panic or into unusually high spirits, depending on the man's character.'" After the iu voroff was fairly alight und complete ly riddled Capt. Semenoff found him self enveloped in an lmienetral)l smoke. "Hurning air parched my fao and hands, while a caustic smell of burning almost blinded me. IJre.Vh Ing was impossible. How did I get out of this hell? Perhaps some of the crew who had seen me on th bridge dragged me out. How I arrived on the upper battery on a well-known spot near the ship's image I can't re member and 1 can't Imagine." Find ing a few -signal men, Capt. Semenoft set to work with an undamaged ple of hose on the fire. Then Ll-u'. Danchlch came up. "Haven't we any stretchers?" he said. "For whom?" asked Semenoff. "Why, for you. You are bleeding Iooklnj down he saw that his right leg was standing ir. a. pool of blood. Danchich seemed to be making an "unnecessary fuss." He wanted sopi one to go with Semenoff. "Who wa:d.-5 to be accompanied?" said Somen r.T. angrily, and started to go down th ladder, not realizing what had lui pened. When a small splinter had wou:ded him in the waist at the be ginning of the right it had hurt htiu. "but at this time I had felt nothing." he writes. "Later, in the hospital, when carried there on a stretcher. I understood why it was that during a fight one hears neither groans nor shouts. All that comes afterward. Apparently our feelings have strict limits for receiving external Impres sions, being even deeply impressed by an absurd sentence. A thing can bfv so painful that you feel nothing, si terrible that you fear nothing." Rojestvensky behaved well. Ca;t. Semenoff says that, although wounded in the head, back and right leg, be sides several small splinter wounds, the Russian admiral bore himself most cheerfully, going off to look for a place from which he could watch th fight. Proceeding to the ttarboard turret he received another wound. which caused him much pain. A splinter struck his left leg. Ff.verin? the main nerve und paralyzing th ball of the foot. He was tarried Into turret and seated on a box. but s ill had sufficient strength a: once tt ask why the t intent was not fuinsj. Modern Boston. The changed character of Rostnn's population could not be more typi cally illustrated than in the reading of the names of the committees of the Boston common council.
