New Carlisle, Ind., Nov. 27. The
"miracle man" has come -to New
Carlisle. . He has laid his hands on
the halt and lame and they hive
gone on healed. The evidence of
what he has done was found here
but how he did .it baffles explana
tion by medical science and even
the "miracle man" himself cannot
explain. And the plain country
people are asking: "Is he God, man
or devil?" .
On a hot summer day last June
Joe Carr, the hardware manat New
Carlisle, stood in front xi his store
when a perspiring young fellow of
heavy build slouched up to him.
"Know where I can find a garage
right handy hereabouts?" asked the
stranger. "I got a breakdown."
"Up off the next square," an
swered Carr, biting off the end of a
cigar and feeling in his pocket for
a match. "
Breaks Smoking Habit. '
Zike to smoke?" asked the young
man as Carr struck a match and
broke the head off.
"Yes," Carr answered, "too well."
"Let's see the cigar," said the
young man. fte took it, squinted at
it, with one eye, rolled.it between
his palms and handed it back.
Carr put the cigar in his mouth
and. immediately spat it out with
an expression of keen disgust.
"What in thunder did you do with
it?" demanded the hardware man.
"It taste and smells terrible."
The young man chuckled a hearty,
guileless laugh as he held up two
clean muscular palms to show he
had used no drug on the cigar.
That was the first cure of this
modern miracle man as toe first land
ed in New, Carlisle..1 Hundreds now
come by train and automobile for
citizens more rights than Mexicans
enioy in the United 'States."
Th Mexican note opens with the
observation that the foundation-for
the American government's demand
probably ""can only be the power of
the country that makes it" and at
the "conclusion of a engthy argu
ment "expresses its hope that the
State department will withhold its
judgment on the Jenkins case until
the civil courts in- Puebla have
passed on it.
In thenote to Mexico the State
department not only demanded the
immediate release of Jenkins, but
warned Carranza that further mo
lestation of , the consular agent
would bring relations between the
two countries to a precarious point.
Surprised Exasperation.
El Paso, Nov. 27. Surprise and
exasperation were expressed by the
government of the United States in
its note to the Mexican government
demanding. the release from prison
of William O. . Jenkins, American
consular agent at t Puebla, Mex., it
became known tonight following the
publication of the text of the Ameri
can note by Adres Garcia, consul
general at El Paso.
the magic touch from those pudgy
palms that remove pain and dis
ease.
When Carr finally recovered from
his astonishment, he asked the
young man, who was again concern
ed about his automobile, what else
he could do. ,
Cures With Hands. V
"My name is Billy Mays, and I
cure folks with my hands," ex
plained the stranger. "I've always
been doing it in a small way just
for fun, but I'm on my way from
Pittsburgh to Long Beach, Cal.,
where all the cripples and sick folks
go, and I'm going to make a regular
business of "it. My old jit busted
down and I expect I'll have to stay
around here for a while until Iget
it fixed. Know anybody around
here who wants to be cured?"
Carr did know of a friend who
was very sick, indeed. His friend'
was the village doctor himself, Dr.
James Burke Waynick, who had
lived in the community all his life
and had helped bring into the. world
half the younger population in town.
Old Dr. Waynick was almost
helpless with rheumatism and pa
ralysis. He had been an invalid for
28 months and it was said his days
were few in number. ' ,
. Also Carr had an invalid wife for
whom he had consulted five famous
specialists, all of whom had .de
clared her case hopeless. ' Carr de
cided to try . the doctor first and
see whether good or harm might
come, probably remembering the
cigar.
Cure's Village Doctor.
The doctor looked up from his
invalid chair as the two. men enter-,
ed. He was not greatly impressed
with Mays' appearance short, pow
erful, pudgy hands, mild blue eyes
hair .thick and low on the fore
head, but clipped badger style
around the neck and ears. The er
rand was explained. The doctor,
smiled a patient,' weary smile.
"Where do you feel the Worst?"
Mays asked. The question is quite
habitual with him now.
Without removing, any clothing
whatever the young man applied his
hands,rubbing gently, but firmly. A
new spark of light came into the old
man' tired eyes. A smile came over
his face.
"I can't believe it. " Never heard
of such a thing," exclaimed the doc
tor. But he felt like stirring him
self. He felt thrilled with a pulse
of growing vigor. There was a
tingling sensation that permeated
like oil from the hands of the mir
acle man.
"This is wonderful! I can be
cured 1 What is happening I cannot
exolain. but I am coming to life
again," he exclaimed Over and over
again. .
'. , Has Uniform Price.
After that Mays did not repair
his jit. He sold it to a junk man
for $60, and went around visiting
the sick people in the town. Dr.
Waynick took the young man in his

There were so many people who
wanted to be treated in the vicinity
of New Carlisle that the business
men of the town got together and
bought an old brick mansion, which
they now call a sanitarium
Architects are working on a plan
for a new hotel to accommodate the
crowds who are coming from neigh
boring states and even from foreign
countries to be healed by the miracle
man.
Cripples Lineup. s
Today outside the sanitarium was
a line of people, some with crutches
and others being borne on . chairs
and stretchers. The reception hall
was nnea wun people suung on
small chairs. At the left was a par
lor. crowded to overflowing. All
eyes were turned to the portieres
that hid the dining room trom view,
By dint of edging and squirming
it was possible to enter the dining
room through the hall door, bix or
eight persons sat about the room
Throughout there was an awe-
stricken silence. In the center of
the room stood the miracle man.
Propped up on a box on a chair
in front of him sat a little girl about
4 years old. Her eyes were half
closed, and it was evident that the
reasoning power of the little brain
had never fully developed. Ihe
miracle man caressed the head and
moved his finger over the eyelids,
Beside him stood an anxious moth'
er, her face animated and beaming
with hope
"How does it feel, darling pet?"
she asked eagerly as a pleased smile
spread over the mall features. The
child did not answer until the ques
tion was repeated several times.
Then she burst out with rapid ejac
ulations
"Tickle! Tickle I Tickle I" she
laughed.
Has Prominent Patients,
A stylishly dressed woman crowd
ed her way into the room and whis-1
pered to the miracle man as he
helped the little girl to the floor.
"Please, you must come with me
she pleaded.
But the miracle man calmly step
ped over to the next person in line
and helped him to a chair. He was
very prosaic. .There was not the
slightest evidence of mysticism,
"But. lady.J couldn't do it. You
will havt to take your turn." he said,
"TJjese folks have been waiting for
hours and they'd bawl me out for
fair if I left them to see-your lather.
From three to four minutes were
spent in laying hands on several
men. Their ailments were mostly
rheumatism.
i Members of- some . of the most
prominent families in Indiana have
come for treatment from" the mir
acle man. Among these are mem
bers of the Studebaker family and
the Olivers of plow fame, and one
of the first to benefit was W. Leo
Casaday, living three and one-half
miles outside of New Carlisle. He
was afflicted with rheumatism.
Formerly Prize Fighter.
The miracle man was interviewed
while he sat in a. car massaging
through heavy clothing the body of
Frederick Rostiser of South Bend.
. He said he was 29 years old and
was born on a farm near Clearfield,
Pa. No other member of his fami
ly had ever shown signs of this
mysterious power. ' He had worked
as a common laborer and had also
taken up pugilism. He said once
he had gained a decision in a fight
with Gunboat Smith. During the
Iwar he worked in the ship yards
and could rivet 1,uo bolts a day. He
had never employed his powers to
make a living before, although he
had used them for amusement and
friendly favors.-
"And how does it work with
you?" Mr. Rostiser was asked.
"Two weeks aeo I was so help
less from paralysis that gangrene
had set in my lett toot, sata Mr.
Rostiser. "I have had 14 treatr
enements. Not a sign . of the
gangrene remains and I am able to
walk a little."
