CONVENTIONALITIES

Sati Francisco, June 24. Cox boomers had a nervous hour when Judge James G. Johnson, who is to nominate Gov. Cox,, was “lost” en route to San Fran. Judge Johnson stepped off his train at- Benicia, Cal., and the train steamed away while he blissfully bought picture postcards. Senator Carter Glass met a number of his family en route to San Francisco. “CV.ptain” Glass was the conductor on thj train which brought the senator to San Francisco and the conductor and the senator had a real time establishing family connections. Hiram Johnson Came to San Francisco on board the Overland Limited, -which was crowded with democratic admirers, but the senator had an erijbya*ble time with his politicaiy'enemies. He took great pleasure In good-naturedly “kidding” Senator Glass. The senator had the platform with him, wrapped up in that brilliant necktie, Senator Johnson told newspaper men. The King brothers constitute onefourth of the Utah delegation. Senator William King and his brother Samuel King are both delegates from Utah. . For many years democracy has been bragging about J. Haul. Lewis' whiskers. Prejudiced party men have claimed no other set like them exist in the world. And now comes to the convention Henry W. Dooley of Porto Rico with a similar set. Only Dooley claims his are better looking, though perhaps not so pink. BOOZE RAIDERS MAKE CLEANUP IN SOUTH BEND (Continued From Page One.) always been met by the statement on the part of county officials that they could not obtain the co-operation of the police department and that their hands were tied. A murder which occurred several weeks ago in a notorious resort tended to bring conditions here to a head. The woman who committed the murder was said to be in such a drunken condition that she could not make a statement for more than twenty-four hours. The resort in which the murder was committed Is said to be only one of many In wcich booie is being sold openly to the public. ‘ABSENT HEALER’ REFUSES TO QUIT

(Continued From Page One.) serve a jail sentence and move on to the 1 next town and begin new operatlous. Braun declared since serving thirtyseven months of the four years' term at Ft. Leavenworth he had tried In every way to lead an honest life and that during the time he has been working on a device to protect bank safes from robbery. Evidence pointed to the fact that the safe protection is also another defrauding schem*. COIRT TAKES HAND IN THE QUESTIONING. "What did you do for a living while you were living as an honest man?” the eourt asked Braun. He replied he had been a traveling salesman, photographer and shoe salesman before he began the study of absent healing more than twenty years ago. It was -following a question by the court of how she cattle to take up the art St healing that Mrs. Braun told of her spirttanl visions and conversations with her dead father. She said she was 7 when he died and that while walking home from milking one evening on a farm 'home In Illinois shortly after her fathear’s death, .her father appeared in a vision and spoke

to her. She would not tell the court the nature of the conversation at that time. "Some years later,” she said, "after I had been firmly convinced of my healing power, my father again appeared to me and told me I was doing a great work and for me to continue It.” "Did you tell him that the practice was against the law and that it was a farce?” asked the court. “No, sir,” Mrs. Braun replied. SHE BELIEVES IN IT FIRMLY. “It is my sincere belief,” she added. \y>Vhom did you ever cure?” asked Judge Anderson. , "From what people tell me. I believe I have healed thousands,” Mrs. Braun replied. She then gave the court the names of several persons, but could not say positively she had healed them. Mrs. Brauti told the court she was now 4a and the mother of eleven children. The court ordered the woman to be examined by a physician. So far Mrs. Braun has never been caught by the dragnet of the federal law, although she was a defendant with her husband when he was sentenced to prison for four years, and would have been sentenced, too, had It not been for her physical state.

In an explanation es the prove** of healing without treatmint, Braun told the court the “psycholog'ral basis of the theory” lay In thou/r it force. When asked to explain the meaning of that “psychological” term, he said it would be as difficult to do as to explain electricity. “Thought force is something that we know exists, but that nobody can explain,” he told the court. “We know It is here and that Is all.” STUDIED THOUGHT FORCE *0 YEARS. Braun said he had bad no medical ed- ; ueatlon, but that he had studied the theory of thought force for twenty years. No explanation could be given by either of the defendants as to the principles involved in the healing method of ‘‘the laying on of hands.” Miss Braun said she did not believe In the theory deeply, but that she had fiealed paralysis by "laying her hand on the solar plexls.” which she defined as the “nerve center.” Floyd Matticc, assistant district attorney, told the court that that was tlie portion of the anatomy where Bob Fitsslmmmons gave Corbett the "laying on of the hand treatment." “And,” the court opined, “he effected a cure.” All three of the defendants changed their pleas from “not guilty” to "guilty." When Braun made an appeal to the court In the behalf of his wife, after she refused to promise to discontinue her ! “practicing,” the court told Braun they I were frauds. “You are a family of frauds," the judge \ said. “Don’t you think you are a fraud?” the , judge asked Braun. “No,” answered Braun. "I do not.” “I will think it for you, then,” said j the court.
