ious sect which is operating in the
city and which has been making Its

Fell Under Hypnotic Control.
Lora Fullerton is a young woman,
and at one time she served as the
stenographer of one of the . best
known lawyers in this city, and she
Is well known among the people
here. Last summer or fall she fell
in with the religious sect and became
a victim to its teachings. Its teach
ings, according to the information se
cured at the office of the district at
torney, are that complete conversion
can only be obtained by giving up to
the sect or religious organizations all
worldly possessions. Lora Fullterton
fell under the spell of these fanatical
teachings, and what the deputy dis
trict attorney believes to be a hyp
notic influence, and la .order to see u re
complete conversion she turned over
to the sect $1,000 which represented
her earnings for years. According to

made to do many other fanatical
stunts, such as leaping out of win
dows and going through other sense
less performances on the streets and
these things, together with others,
makes the officials of that office be
lieve that she was the victim of hyp

ings of the sect.
Mind Breaks Down,
It was in the month of December
that she turned over the $1,000 to the
woman with the Russian name and
who must answer to the charge, but
since then she has been a believer
and follower of the teachings of the
sect. Some time ago her mind began
to waver, and then finally the chords
of her mentality snapped and it was
then, it seems, that the brother
stepped in and took the case before

OtUTID PUSS LA!D WIB1.)
New York, Jan, 12. Owing to an
attempt to place the National Civic
Federation on record regarding the
federal regulation of trusts, there
was an unusually large attendance of
delegates at the opening of thta elev
enth annual meeting at the Hotel
Astor today. Representatives of 24
state councils were present.
The meeting was opened by Prel
dent Seth Low, who predicted the en
actment of uniform corporation reg
ulation laws, workingmen'8 compen
sation acts and compulsory arbitra
tion.
Combinations was the subject
scheduled for today, William Dudley
Foulke, Saimuel Untermyer and Gil
bert Montague discussing it
New York,, Jan. 12. That tlto su
preme court of the United States" will
declare 'the Standard Oil Company
and the American Tobacco Company
monopolies In restraint of trado was
the opinion expressed by Samuel Un
termyer, 'a leading corporation law
yer, in a address before the Civic
Federation today. The decision, how
ever, will not relieve the conditions
attacked by the government, he
says.
.The tflind of tho decisions of the
supreme court for the last flvo years,
Untermyer declared, indicates that
they must ifilrm the findings of the
lower courts in the cases of the to
bacco and oil trusts.
"Hut by so doing," he said, "the
supreme court will not give relief
from tho danger that now threatens
the American people."
The trusts, ho predicts, will reor
ganize lis separate properties and the
business will continue to exist, since
thin constitution forbids the confisca
tion of property.
The entire blame for this state ot
affailrs, according to Untermyer, is
due to tho attitude of tho courts to
ward the Sherman law for the ten
years following its passage. Both
the courts and the federal govern
ment, ho said, t;wltly consented to
trusts in their moat vicious form.
To exterminate them now, bin alleged,
would be to destroy public confidence
and bring about financial and Indus
trial chaos. Ho charged that the
government had been after tho "lit

Untermyer assailed the govern
ment's attitude toward the railroads.,
"Recently," he said, "the govern
ment found it necessary to enjoin the:
railroads' association from carrying
out a conspiracy to increase rates. ,
The government's proofs were ,
convincing that the railroads quit.
Why were they not criminally prose
cuted when the same proof which,
gave the injunction .would have re
sulted In Indictments?" ,
The coaj, Iron and steel corpora
tions, he said, closed their plants aa.

and demand.
"All present criminal prosecutions
of alkiged trust officials are a mon
strous sham," he said In conclusion.
"They tend to bring the administra-,
tlon of Justice Into contempt."
He characterized the phrase "guilt

"insincere claptrap."
