Mit llraucl.iir. however, had even
tranirr distractions when under the
mystic infinite than did the Colum
bu girl. She apparently potscsset
a mytcriou power to forecast
thing nnd tventi. One afternoon
Mii- Ucauclair, while lyins on a
couch at her home here, tuld of a
collinion between an . electric car
and an automobile in another part
of the city. A kliort time afterward
there came confirmation of the in
cident, the detail being jukt at tlii
girl had described them. She has
portrayed accurately other happen
ing before they were otherwise
made known.
Scientists Study Case.
Parents, friends and doctors have
been perplexed greatly by the ap
parently supernatural powers of this
pretty girl- Her case now is being
studied by tome of the most emmi
nent scientists of New Encland.
Meanwhile, police are seeking for
a Greek, 45, who is said to have
exercised this strange influence over
this girl and an arrest is expected
soon. Two years ago, it is said. Mist
Beauclair slapped the face of this
man when he tried to embrace her.
It it declared he then told her his
eyes would follow everywhere she
went, even as bvengah s eyes pur
sued Trilbv. Parents of the girl be
lieve this mysterious power explains
what has transpired in- the lite ot
Miss Beauclair during the last tw
years.
In her dual personality, Clair be
came an enigma to her parents. Fre
quently in her sub-conscious 'apses,
in which her voice became thin and
tiny like a girl of 8 or 10, she in
sisted she was in Belgium or France.
A fluent French speaker, as are all
her brothers and sisters, she spoke a
language which she told them was
Belgian or Flemish.
Joined in Gay Parties.
At times she would cr out: "I
am in Belgium, now. Look at that
place," and would describe minutely
fome place in Ostcnd, Antwerp or
Brussels.
Clair joined in the almost nightly
gay parties conducted in her home
with the object of diverting her
mind. Almost invariably, while en
tranced, she would get out of bed
and join in the singing and dancing.
But she sang in the "baby" voice or
tripped nimbly in the dances, but
with the uncertainty of a little child.
'I must sleep now," Clair would
say in her trance, and then she
would say good night to the com
pany and go to bed.
Ten physicians, including two well
known Boston specialists in neurotic
maladies, admittedly have been baf
fled at the girl's strange, case. X-ray
of her skull failed to disclose any
abnormality. And yet the girl con
tinued to fall into "walking spells" in
which she apparently, although with
her eyes closed, could movf about
the house, dance and sing, dress her
hair in front of a mirror and tell the
time of day. "
In this strange state three of the
attending physicians readily ex
pressed that the girl was under a
hypnotic influence. Several other
physicians would not deny that
hypnosis was the explanation of the
extraordinary case.
Davis Attacks Work
of Arms Conference
(Contlnntd From Pa One.)
strength fixed at Washington cer
tainly would be upset, he declared,
by any subsequent alliance entered
into by one of the power parties to
the new naval treaty. It would have
been wise, he thought, to have pro
hibited any party to the treaty from
making an alliance or agreement
with one or more of the members.
One could not look for peace in
the far east, he continued, until, set
tlement was made of certain ques
tions left unsettled at Washington.
Among these, Mr. Davis cited Ja
panese occupation of Vladivostok
' and the northern half of the island
of Sakhalin.
Twenty-One Demands Unsettled.
Another unsettled question named
by the speaker was that of Japan's
famous 21 demands of 1915.
He asserted no progress had been
made toward moving obstacles that
prevent prosperous operation of the
Chinese eastern railway, and would
make a "joke" of the open door.
These obstacles he specified as the
inability of the interallied commit
tee operating the Chinese eastern
railway to extend its control over
the Ussuri railway, now in control
of the Japanese, which connects with
the Vladivostok terminus of the Chi
nese eastern, nor over its other out
let at Port Arthur, the terminus of
the South Manchurian railway, also
under Japanese control.
Mr. Davis observed the existence
of fear that the United States may
be morally obligated under the four
power treaty to use force, and said
that although Senator Lodge had
explained that no such obligation ex
isted, the senator, insofar as' he
knew, had not made clear just what
"our obligation is not to use force."
