THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES
Washington, P. C. Doc. 20. "We shall take back home with us to Japan only the kindliest feeling far America and for her people and the highest regard for her institutions," Eald Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, today, just prior to his departure with Viscountess Aoki for San Francisco, from which Tjlace they will sail on Jan. 7 for home. The ambassador returns to Japan at the instance of his govern
ment, which desires to consult with him freely regarding conditions affecting Japanese interests in America, notably those relating to the question of Japanese emigration to the United States. ' "I arn confident an a mi eat! e understanding will !' ra-h-d on this immigration question th? only one of any consequence that Is now agitating the people of the two countries." said Ambassador Aoki. "I arn certain Japan will make every honorable concession within bounds, and I feel equally confident the American government will not insist upon anything unreasonable or that will, in any way, compromise the dignity or the honor of the Japanese government. rSoth gov ernments are striving to reacli an honorable solution of the immigration question, and the latest advices that we have received from our government Indicate that the way Is gradually being paved with that end In view. "As I have said again and again, there Is every reason why both countries should have the most complete understanding and continue in most amicable relations. Japan is anxious to be at peace with the world, and to no country does this apply with greater force than to the United States, to whom, In a large measure, is due Japan's great rise and progress among the nations of the world." Ambassador Aoki urged the utmost Importance of the United States and Japan keeping on the most friendly terms. In no sense, he said, was this more Important than from the commercial standpoint. Japan needed American capital in the development of the numerous enterprises which have come to the front since the Chinese-Japanese war, and more particularly since the war with Russia. American capital could find splendid opportunities In Japan, the ambassador declared. Official and diplomatic Washington was well represented at the station to bid Viscount Aoki and his wife goodby. Every member of the cabinet ablo to be there was present, as were many members of the diplomatic corps.

Philadelphia. Pa., Pec. 31. Pr. Herman V. Hilprecht. orientalist and University of Fensylvanla professor, who claimed that he had dug up an ancient Babylonian library at Nippur and also
told how the dream of nn ancient nrlest showed him a secret cuneiform
Inscription, yesterday was ordered by the American Society of Biblical Liter
ature and Exegesis to make an explanation of the charges of faking brought
against him In the N'Ippur matter. Pr
John P. Peters of New York admitted
that ho was behind the resolution.
It Pr. Hilprecht refuses to make an
explanation he will be dropped from
the society, of which he is a member,
Scholars from all the great colleges In the United States are In attendance
at the convention of the society, which
opened yesterday. They passed a reso
lutlon of reproach, unanimously as
serting that they joined in the demand
of orientalists everywhere that Pr. 1111
precht either clear himself of charges or confess. Pass Resolution In Ha-ite. This action was taken while Pr

had the resolution been passed before ho entered. No one spoke to him or
turned a head.
Ur. llupreeht sat and fidgeted Tor a few minutes and then went out. At
the door he was told of the resolution He turned white with anger. "It was cowardly,' he said, "coward
ly. Such news stuns me. It Is a surprise that such a body of men should
take such action just at the time when they knew 1 would not be there to
meet it." Accused Mnn Ihhucm Statement. Pr. Hilprecht later issued a statement in which he said: "I attended all of the morning sessions of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis, and returned to the afternoon session a few minutes after it was called to order. "It was during this short period when I was absent that the resolution referring to me was passed. It would seem .that the most ordinary spirit of fairness should have led the author of the resolution to choose a time for its presentation when I was present." The gravest charge brought against him was that instead of digging up the clay' tablets as said, he bought them, and that most of them had never been near Nippur.

Berlin, Pec. 30. The name of Prin
cess Charlotte von Saxe-Meiningen, the
eldest sister of Emperor "Will iam. was
brought Into the Harden-Von Moltke libel case today. She appeared as the person who had supplied Maxmilien
Harden with the information concerning
the Zu Eulenberg "group" near the person of the emperor, upon which
Harden based his campaign against
the so-called camarilla.
Princess Cliarlotte and the emperor
have been on cool terms for several
years. The late Prince Bernhard. hus
band of the Princess, was long opposed
to the inlluence of Prince Philin V.u
Eulenburg at court. It is apparent the
princess did not forget this feud and
that she had been instrumental in ruin
ing Zu Eulenburg s reputation and his consequent loss of favor with the em
peror. The testimony today brought out the fact that Harden had two meetings with the princess, seemingly at her request. Prof. Schweninger, who was present at these interview?, gave a brief account of them in a deposition. Friend of ItlNninrck. The deposition of Prof. Schweninger, who was physician and personal friend of the late Prince von Bismarck, stated he had no 111-feellng against Von Moltke, in spite of the coolness existing between the count and Mrs. Schweninger. Harden, the professor set forth, had met the hereditary princess of
Saxe-Melnlngen at Schvereck. On one of these occasions the princess talked about Gen. Count Wilhelm von Hohenau and expressed her sorrow that "such degeneracy should occur in high circles." The professor said he had himself related to Harden Bismarck's opinion of Zu Eulenburg, whose tendencies, the prince considered, unfitted him to act as confidential adviser to the emperor. Ho could not say when Bismarck had acquired this knowledge. The chancellor declared also that a certain imperial adjutant, whose name was not mentioned, had more Influence upon the decisions of the emperor than had the chancellor himself. Bismarck declared in this connection, according to Pro' Schweninger, that if the members of the camarilla were so foolish as to permit their Influence to the suspected the camarilla would immediately cesse to exist. Continuing. Trof. Schweninger cays he considered Mrs. von Elbe, the divorced wife of Count von Moltke, to be mentally sound and not likely to suffer Illusions. He consequently believed her original assertioni.: of the evils with which she accused Von Moltke. She had related many incidents of the count's violence in which he alone appeared to be blamable.
Bishop Fallows to Begin Psychic Healing Next Thursday.
New York, Pec. 31. The nerve racking, even though fancied, terrors of an initiation into a Greek letter society of girl students in private and preparatory schools in this city caused a meeting of twenty angry mothers at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Moore yesterday. Their first purpose is to break up the local organization of the Sigma Gamma society, and their second is to
start a campaign throughout the country against secret societies among school girls. It was the story of Julia, not yet 17, as told by her to her mother, that caused Mrs. Mills to take the first steps. Julia Mills was "initiated" Saturday night. Miss Mills, acording to her story, was summoned to appear at the Moore home last Saturday. "When she was ushered in she was led Into a dimly lighted room between two columns of black robed, black masked figures, up to the high priestess. "This will be a test of your fortitude, of your fitness to be a sister. You are ordered to thrust your hand into a small caldron of molten lead, which you see before you. Ready! Obey orders'" Miss Mills dashed her hand into the liquid and sank to her knees in fright. After she recovered her composure in part she was surprised to note that the caldron was filled with mercury.
Suddenly the lights went out. Miss Mills felt the floor give way beneath her and she felt herself go down, down, and then land on the pillows. The candidate was ordered to grasp the hand, for which she could only feel. Suddenly, she involuntarily drew back her arm when she felt the clammy fingers. She had grasped a wet chamois skin glove filled with sand. Again she was led forth, this time to drink a nauseating liquid out of a skull, which liquid "would serve to make her one blood with her other prospective sisters." Revolting at each gulp, she was compelled to drain the skull.

20 "OLD MAIDS" ON PARADE TOO MUCH TOR CHICAGO MAN. It. CJ. Gephart Loses Heart to Leader of ovfl Entertainment In an Indiana Village Wedding Follow. riainfield, Ind.. Pec. 31. Two months ago the "Old Maids' club" of this village gave a novel entertainment and parade, publishing wile the fact that there had not been a marriage here for years. though there were "as good fish in the sea as had ever been caught out of it.3" Every one of the twenty "old maids" carried banners in the parade that preceded the entertainment, all of them bearing legends such as "Ain't I sweet?" "Don't I look nice?" "Wouldn't you like to have me?" Standing on a corner watching the parade was R. G. Gephart, a wealthy contractor of Chicago, and at the head of the parade was Miss Cyrena Stanley, Gephart saw and was conquered. Yesterday he and Miss Stanley were married by the Rev. J. J. Wilson, in the presence of a large number of friends, who included the members of the "Old Maids' club." The remaining members of the club are greatly encouraged. and are discussing the advisability of giving another entertainment.
Catharrhal troubles are far dangerous than they seem at
thought.
! If you have catarrh, there Is an irritated state of the mucous membrane
and weakened tissues which afford an ideal lodgment and culture medium for disease germs, especially those of con
sumption. - . .
j You should get cured as quickly as
possible before any dangerous germs that you may breathe lodge on the diseased tissue and work" destruction in the throat and lungs. The easiest, simplest, quickest, surest and cheapest way to cure catarrh is by the direct method, breathing Hyomei. This wonderful medicated air treatment does not drug and derange the stomach, but is breathed in. directly folowing and destroying all disease germs that may have been inhaled. The unusual way In which Hyomei is sold by Summers' pharmacy is the
' best evidence of their confidence in the
treatment and should dispel all doubt as to its curative properties. They agree to refund the purchase rrice to any one whom Hyomei fails to benefit, and you do not risk a cent In testing its healing virtures. A complete outfit costs but $1.00 if it helps you. not a cent if it does not do all that is claimed for it.
Chicago, Pec. 31. Having ?ured him self of the grip. Bishop Samuel Fal
lows will make his debut as a healer
Thursday afternoon, when, ii the vestry rooms of his church, he will treat a number of patients who already have applied for his services.
Bishop Fallows then will prove the
curative value of "Christian pshychol
ogy, his theories upon which subject
surprised his congregation Sunday evening. The bishop expects to ad
dress himself to the subconscious minds of his patients and drive away all their mental ills and many of the physical
ailments with which the average citi
zen is troubled.
All day yesterday Bishop Fallows
was engaged in answering questions
about the new curative, power which he
held. There were telephone calls and
there were personal calls, and, after
many conferences, Bishop Fallows de
cided that the vestry rooms of St.
Paul's Reformed Episcopal church

should be the scene of his aebut as a
healer.
All applicants who asked that they be made the subject of a practical test of the bishop's theories were told to be present in the vestry rooms from
3 to 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Tells How He Cured Hlniaelf.
The bishop then told hew he had
cured himself of the grip the night before. Grip is one of ths diseases which, ordinarily, do not come under the general classification which Bishop Fallows expects to deal with, but his theorv nroved of value to him even
there. "I felt the ailment coming on, so
just got a bag of hot water and placed
It on mv back, saying to rayselt tnat
I would drive It out," said the bishop
"This morning it was gone, as I had expected." "Can you cure such a disease as grip by means of suggestion in all cases?" asked one caller. "I have got it now, and would like to have it cured." "I wouldn't agree to cure It without the assistance of a physician, " replied Bishop Fallows. "I want to make it plain that I expect to work hand in hand with physicians. By giving you good suggestions, however, I would do much toward curing the disease and probably would banish It entirely. "Just how are you going about putting your theories to practical use?" the bishop was asked. "I shall begin at the Thursday afternoon meeting at the church," he replied. "After that I shall have some regular hours for seeing persons who wish to be treated. That is a detail which shall be worked out later, according to the needs of the occasion."

Death in Chicago On Way Home.
EaCrosse, Wis., bee. 31. When body of Joseph .1. Roraff. aged 30
altar maker, was brought home yesterday from Chicago with a wound over the left temple, indicating lie was murdered, it appeared that the prophecy of a clairvoyant, made last summer, that he would be murdered befor the end of the year, was fulfilled.

Roraff left Fort Wayne, where he had installed an altar, and arrived in Chicago Friday morning, going to the home of August Sehowsky, 1038 Wrightwood avenue, a cousin, for a visit. Roraff left this place at noon and was found just before 3 o'clock in the .afternoon in the lake at North avenue, near Lincoln park, within a hundred yards of a police station. Frank Roraff, a brother, who went
to Chicago to investigate and take charge of the body, disputes the story that he was found in the lake, setting forth that papers In his inside pocket had not even been wet. He claims the Chicago police failed to tell him of the wound upon his brother's head and that he returned with the body believing their story that the man was drowned. When the body was being dressed for burial here the wound was discovered, indicating he had been felled with some blunt instrument. The family has hired private detectives to Investigate. Poliee Deny Storj-.
The police of the Larrabee Street station deny that the body of Joseph J. Roraff. which they took from the lake on Friday last, bore any wound or mark pointing to murder. They state that the body had only been in the water a short time, and its quick rise to the surface, it Is claimed, was due to the blasting which was going on there at the time.
