. 'A peculiar case Involving ! many features
that can hardly be explained , except on the
. theory ot hypnotic Influence , has tlevclopetl
i In Omaha. .
Fritz Peterson , who sudlltnly left Omaha
I last week under something or a cloud ( , has re
tUfloed. Ills explanation ot hIs absence and
- the cl1cumstances surrounding the cnte lead
his rrlellltS to believe that ho Is a victIm ot
I this wbtle power , exercised by one who Is
" admitted by those who know her to possess
hypnotic ability to a marked Ilegree.
The woman In the case It Lotta Fare-
graves , a person ot exceedingly flexIble
morals , who has been known to Omaha
V polIce as rather a dangerous artist In her ,
line for years. She was until last week an i
occupant or one 01 the palnces er sin on I
Ninth street Peterson Is the driver or a
. beer wagon for the Omaha Brewing association -
tion lie Is an honest man , according to hi !
employers , and his friends express their
feeling for hIm In the two words , "gooll !
cllow. " 'I'hough he Is old enough to 1111011"
bttler , Peterson while plying hIs vocation on
Ninth street met the nregrnves woman allli
1 turn tall blond Insisted that he
r should neglect his family to pay her some
attention. It Is on record that during the
time Peterson was acrlualnted with Lotta he '
wa a changed man. She Is 22 and he Is six
: years older. Those who know the woman
t Insist that the word fascinating does not
r , describe the influence she possesses.
Peterson scarcely realizes the meaning of the
power attributed to the woman who caused
him to leave home and famlty. He says he
. wn crazy : 111t1 not know what he was 1I0lng
When he did appreciate the situation he was
In Kansas City with Lotta lIe might have
been IIrunl . he says , but It he was he Insists
It Is the first time he has been able to
Imbibe enough liquor to become wholly
i oblivious to his surroundings , still ho does
not like to be considered so mean as to
S attribute his trouble to whisky. for he thinks
, too much of that product. So he admits that
he might have been hypnotized though In
the 8allle breath he Insists that he was simply
crnzy.
I "Yes " saId Peterson In conversation on
: , the subject "I did a very foolish thing but
. } all that has been prInted about me Is not
. ' true. Fur Instance , I dltl not desert lilY
family and I left money In the bank to pro-
vide for them In my temporary absence.
:
No there \ 'as nothing Ilremeditated about Il.
, I went to the glrl's house for the first time
! . She wanted IIIe to go to Kansas City and
1' ; insIsted upon me taking her. I do not
.1. IlIIow why but I could not re lst. She
needed sonic mousy to buy clothes with an.
' I gave It to her. We went there together I
q presume , though I know little about what I
11111. I was just crazy. No . I tlo not think
.
I was hypnotlzell. I don't know much
about that , but I was craz ) ' . The woman
4 was no particular friend of mine. I just
k' went with her because she told me to.
. , When I came to my senses I was In a Kansas
City hotel and the woman was at her Ilome
: ! there , where her parents reside. Then I
. started back here and my record with the
members : of the firm caused them to take
me bacle. I intended nothing wrong. 111)
- ' , friends are too charitable to me. The woman
may bo the master of some such thing as
you call hypnotism ; ' but I know nothing
I a40ut It. She told me to go with her und I
went , but I think I Was crazy , though I
. bad been drinking. "
Peterson's friends speak well of 111m.
They arc absolutely certain he did not In-
tend to desert his ! amity. , HIs books were
left us If lie were merely quilting a day's
i work. Money was cornIng to him and he left
money In the banle. This they think Is
. 8ufficlent. to contradict the report that he had
: deliberately gone away with this woman
, vlth the Intention of deserting his family.
( ; . Had tbls been the case they think he would
- have taken the money front the banle. lIe Is i
. ' . known as a man who has always provided' '
. for his family and against whom little can be
said
, saId.Lotta Faregraves had told several of the
- Ninth street icople that she wanted to go to
, Kansas City and she thought she would
- make Fritz Peterson take her. She needed
. some clothes and she thought Fritz would
blV them. So far ns they knew Peterson
bad : never been around her , but he appeared
to be peculiarly susceptible to the hypnotic
" . Power which her female friends are satisfied
. she Ilossesses. 'Chey say that Peterson
- . visited her place and that Lotta looked nt
him stellllly : for a few mInutes and then
' . ' " - spoke to him kindly and said she wanted
111m to go to Kansas City with her. Fritz
was then on the nrm's business. They de-
o . dared that he suddenly appeared to lose all

' " remarked that If Lotta wanted to go he
would take her nllll If she desired clothes
' ; . ho would buy them. That war the last they ! :

" getber. She did not return with him.
The woman Is a strikingly handsome

OMAHA , March 27.-To the Editor ot The
$ Dee : I have Just read of the action of the
: Douglas county house delegation asking for
the recommitment of the charter bill \ In
.
5. order to IUloc11 out the clause providing for
'
, j ' . competition In paving material and nmend.
S \ lug It 80 that a majority of the Board of

I 'hIed for Under the provisions about to be
S enacted the Ileopio will be bled for no less
r than that amount within the next three

PLACE FOR DOOR STEP BABIES
What Member of roman's Club Wilt Tr
I , ) lu for TIirni.
At the moelng ot the parliamentary
practice department of the 'Voman's club i
members renewed their discussion In regard
to the organization oC a new soc ly. to be
called "A SocIety for the Prevention or
Cruelty to Children. " They reached the
conclusIon that they could not form the
society as a permanent organization nnd re-
main In tie 'oman's club As none of the
members hall the slightest desire to with-
draw from the club . they concluded to form
nn agreement among themselves and hold '
themselves pledged to ameliorate In every
way the conditIon of the young employed by
being kind to them and by maIling them as
little trolhq as possible and by endeavoring
to have them attend school for at least the
tme : molted by law. and , If possIble , have
theIr hours of labor shortenell.
While on the subject of children they
thought It would be Well to consider the
abandoned baby the president Baying : "In
I such n great city as ours . there . Is no place
where such babies can be tnlel'n. I there Is
a baby left on some one's doorstep there Is
no place In all the city where the helpless
little one can rightfully be tale n. I must
either be taken to the county jai or the
county hospItal and In neither Illaco Is there
any provision made for such cnses. The
'Ollen Door' has taken In several ' such , but
their house II not Intended for this branch of
work. "
At a meeting of the officers of the Nebraska
lome for the Aged they voted to open their
doors to this work , providing . the necessary
funds could be rnlsed. .

Interstate Commerce CommIssIoner J. D.
\tomans and Secretary E. A. Moseley were In
town yesterday , calling upon the railroad ciii-
daIs ant arranging matters for a hearing to
take place In this city sometime toward the
later part of April. The commissioner and
the secretary of the commission went west In
time afternoon to look after some maters on
the Pacific coast . returning via Denver , where
they have n case or two pending.
Mr. Yeomans , talking to a representative
or TIme lien stated that two cases would bo
heard by the commission when It sat
here probably the last week In April , these
cases growing out of formal complaints fed
by the Commercial club through Its freight
commissioner John F. Utt. The first case
to be taken up wil be the bridge arbitrary ,
which for a number oC years hn been the
sUbject of mnch bitter complaint on the part
of certain Omnha Interests , dealers In' the
same class or trade having establishments
on the Iowa sldo of the rIver baing rermilcd
to core Into Nebraska and meet the cmpel. !
tlon of Nebraska fIrms , while dealers and
wholesaler In Nebraska are not permItted
by reason of the arbitrary . to meet the comupe-
tltOI of Iowa firms 11 their own territory.
This Is particularly true of Implement houses
having establsh men Is In Iowa I Is the
desire oC the Commercial climb to have this
cub
arbitrary equalized , and there are numbers
of cases Parallel to the Omaha bridge which
the Commercial club will cite to show the inequality -
equality existing and time dlscrlmlnatlol 11
favor of Iowa dealers ns against Nebraska
dealers , although but a difference of three
wiles exists between the territory or the
contending Interests.
The other case Is a vigorous kick on the
part of time Commercial cub against the
railways , claiming a dlscrlmilaton on Texas
rates as against Omaha and South Omaha
and In favor of St Joseph , Kansas City , St.
Louis , Rocle Island , 1olne. Peoria and
Chicago.
ly reasol of this unjust discrimination the
Commercial club alleges that Omaha and
South Omaha cannot mcet the competition or
the cities above named. Business men have
long labored with the Southwester Traffic
association for an adjustment of these rates
but all efforts have proved unavailing . and
the club now proposes to see If It has not
some rights which thEse other towns must
respect _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

THIS MAY BRING ON A FIGHT.
County all Cltf Cannot Get Tognther In
the HetUclolt or ccouImtp.
There I some prospect or a legal fight be-
tween the city and the county authorities
over a question at nnnnce wblcb Is indirectly
an offshoot of the recent controversy over
the payment by the city of tbo 1)15 : or feeding .
Ing city prisoners at the county jail. When
these bills were presented Comptroller Olsen
went through the records of time IJole' ' , court
and demonstrated , to his own satisfactIon , at
least , that the county was charging three
or four times as much ns was rlghUuly : ( hue.
On the strength of this repreJMtaton time
council refused to settle the bills aol no un-
derlandlng has yet been reahed , between
the two governments.
Just now , bOlevor , the county holds the
high trump and It looks as though the cy
would be obliged to act on the offensive. . I
Instead of gollg Into court to comp:1 t.e ray-
ment of the bills . the county authorities
quietly held lacll a big tlee of time road fun ,
and , while there has ben no such dterm nl-
lon expressed , It I understod that It w\
not be paid over until lama understanding I
reached In regard to the old bills for feeding
prisoners. .
Some time ago Comptroller Olsen made
several dcmaltls on the county for the pay-
mont of time amount due from the road fund
but he was assured that the books were In
such shape that It would bo Imp03slble to
check up the account Finally he proposed
to scud one of his own , clerIcs over to the
court houlo to do the chmocklpg This was
done and time examination Indicated that the
60 per cent due thin city up to Juno 1 , 1S91 ,
was $2G,2S8.2. Of this amount only i9,031
had been paid , leaving a balance In favor of
the city of ,257.52. This represents all the
taxes that have been collected for that fund
since 1891 and there Is an additional amount
of $937.H duo the city from taes unchiected .
This sum has been repeatedly ! demanded ,
but the county authorities hayo rerused to
Iquldale and Tuesday night Comlltroler Olsen
notled the council of the situation and
asked the members to take S0l0 steps to
hnvo a settlement effected . The mater was
referred to the finance committee , which Is
investigating the facts and a report will
probably be submitted . In a week or two
