" his advice as to how to treat difficult
.'.'mental and physical cases, and he has
delivered many auurese
ous learned and religious bodies.
Plans for rutora.
In order to learn something about
Dr. MeComb's plans for the future, and
to obtain an account of his work In
London so far, the writer recently In
terviewed him at his hotel near Trafal-
"lf "mfght now be said." remarked the
doctor, "that our movement, started In
.:. so small a wav In Boston a few years
: ago, has become Internationa!. VV hen
I go back to America 1 shall leave be
hind In London a loose organisation
' which will gradually take permanent
. and definite form. We hope In time
to establish a great central place where
' we can give treatment to those in need
, of our help.
"It Is generally recognised today,
i continued the doctor, "that the mind
' exerts a very powerful sway over the
body, and modern science admits this
Influence. Of coursf I differ entirely
from the Christian Scientists by limit
ing the field of operations to dlsturb
- anres of the nervous system. I hold
that to apply mental treatment In the
region of organic disease Is to waste
valuable time which might otherwise
be used to the bettor advantage of the
patient.
Mental Healing.
"Where we differ from most of the
'mental healing' fraternity Is the fact
that In reaching our diagnosis, and even
In subsequent treatment wherever possi
ble, we call in the most expert medical I
att) we are able to obtain. At the same
time we do not discount the power of
the mind over the body. The investiga
tions of Charcot, Dubolse, Oliver Judge,
Crookes, and hosts of others have fully
demonstrated this fact. Our treatment
applies especially to such cases as hys
teria, hypochondria, neurasthenia, psy
Chothesia, fixed obsessions. and all
those disorders which may be called on
the borderland of functional mental
diseases. Another type of characters
which, we treat are those who suffer
.from alcoholism, morphinism, and even
emi-crlminal tendencies.
"It Is almost universally admitted to
; day that what is generally called 'crime'
is a disease, moat criminals suffering
from some sort of physical lesion. The
punishment of criminals has been much
altered In modern prisons, and Is under
going constant modifications as the na
ture of their 'disease' is becoming better
; known. We have even had confirmed
thieves come to us for treatment, and
have also permanently cured chronic al
"Plncn coming to Kngland 1 have been
Impressed bv the fact that both clergy
and lalty are deeply Interested In our
work. Most of the clergy have, of
course, rejected Christian Science as
utterly Inadequate while the lalty also
recognixe its shortcomings We com
bine strict medical skill with a full
recognition of the power of the mind
over the body, and feel that our move
ment has struck the hanpy medium of
truth, which as a rule, lies between the
two extremes.
"We hope before many years have
passed la have a permanent home in
Kngland where patients can receive reg
ular treatment under the system I have
outlined above. Already I have received
every encouragement to Indicate that
our establishment In England would ho
very welcome. 1 have been Invited to
attepd before the committee of bishops
at Lambeth palace, the seat, ss you
know, of the primate of England, and 1
have delivered a number or addresses
before many classes of influential
Kngllsh people, all of whom, as I have
said, have expressed the deepest and
most sincere Interest In our work."

I Many a man has had his "head turned
by feminine beauty, for the charm of
woman's loveliness Is proverbially dls
concerting. Hut the results are not al
ways so disastrous or so sudden as
those which attended the fasclnutlon
yesterday of an expressman by the
beauty of bevy of California girls
There are eight of the girls, success
ful contestants In a subscription contest
conducted by tho Pacific Monthly. The
eight, as a reward for having each got
.",() subscriptions to the magaslne. are
being given a tour of the Pacific north
west. Yesterday they arrived at the
Motel Ianmoore, where they are stop
ping under the chnperonngo of Mrs. V.

Tho girls were all about the entrance
when the expressman was unloading
their trunks. Charmed, he could not
keep his eyes off them, and aa a result
met disaster. There Is a glass awning
in front of the hotel, wltrT a down
hanging fringe of glass panes. The
man smashed his head Into these,
breaking three of them out and knock
ing himself even more unconscious than
he was before. However, his head will
probably recover before his heart does.
The girls all express themselves de
lighted with their trip, and especially
with Purl land. They expect to leave
Monday for Tacoma, Seattle and the

Mrs. Louise H. Boise, wife of Whit
ney L. Boise, filed suit this afternoon
In the state circuit court, asking that
Mrs. Catherine H. Collins, as secretary
of the Hawthorne estate, be compelled
to allow an expert to make an examina
tion of the books of the estate In ordar
to determine whether or not Whitney L.
Boise, who had formerly been manager
of the estate, was short In his accounts.
Judge Cleland set August 20 as the date
upon which Mrs. Collins should appear
In court and show cause why tho order
asked for should not be granted.
The suit was brought in the name of
the state of Oregon, upon the relation of j
Mrs. Boise, against Mrs. Collins as sec- ;
retary of the estate. It is set out In :
the petition for the order that since
the incorporation of the estate checks
had been drawn upon tne estate for the
Individual use of the members of the
corporation. Mrs. Rachel Hawthorne,
Mrs. Boise and Mrs. Collins. During
all of this time there has been no ac
counting. It Is also set out that t9 9 of
th 1,000 shares of stock held by Mrs.
Boise have been held by the corporation
as security against the alleged shortage i
of Boise. ,
The complaint goes on to relate that
George Black has been engaged hy Mrs. j
Collins to make an examination of tll j
books, and as a' result of this examina-
tlon It is alleged that Whitney L. Boise
is short in his accounts more than $100,
000. The books are now In the misses- I
slon of Black. lesterday a formal de
mand was made upon Mrs. Collins, as
secretary of the estate, for permission
to examine the books, as the complaint
relates, and the demand was refused.
Los Angeles, Aug. 7. Referring to
the 1'nitod Press dispatches from Kng

India Is feared. Louis H. Hartman, a
prominent politician of Albany, N. Y
who has Just returned from India, said
today that the fear wan well founded
He expressed the opinion that very few
more of the natives would starve under
British rule.
"The natives are beginning to feel
that It Is time they are treated as hu
man beings, he said. England has al
ways ruled India for Kngland and not
for India.
"It Is true that India has prospered
under British rule more than It would
have prospered under Its own rule. It
Is equally true that England's benevo
lence toward the Indian has been lined
with commercial selfishness and
stamped with the glory of the British
crown.

caped were short-term prisoners, one,
serving a six-months and one a nine

fire on anyone trying to escape. The
army officers believe the fugitives are
still on the Island, no boats havln,;
been reported missing. They say the

Island and are now ripe, ror a period
of 10 or 12 days. There are plenty of
