Frail and Maimed Mob
Coue at Parting Talk
New York.—Frail and maimed men,
women and children, caught in crowds
that ebbed and Mowed from side to side
of the Lexington Theater stage today
beseechingly stormed Emile Coue for
aid at his farewell American lectures.
They knew it was their last chance to
feel the helping hand of the little
French apothecary, apostle of con
scious autosuggestion.
At the conclusion of afternoon and
■evening lectures M. Coue asked "a
few ’ of the physically and mentally in
firm to come to the stage for his ex
periments. Both times the stage be
came a mass of humanity, struggling
painfully to reach the Erenchman’s
band.
So excited did the matinee audience
become when it realized that M. Coue
•could not personally treat all on the
stage that it shouted its preferences to
him. creating a general din.
•‘The man in the chair!” shouted
■one, and a hundred took it up. When
the Frenchman failed to heed, others
shouted the request in his native
tongue. He stopped the experiments
and read more of his lecture.
M. Coue finally escaped by helping
an aged woman with crutches to walk
to the wings. There he turned her
her over to other bauds and lied.
A forecast from JuDeau of legislative
action during die present session of the
Alaska legislature says: ‘‘Rumors that
a fight will be made against the pres
ent system of Territorial government
have been circulated locally for several
weeks. Criticism has been made of the
bestowal of power on the governor’s
office over purely Territorial matters.
It is reported that a bill will be intro
duced to provide for the creation of an
office of Territorial manager, carrying
a salary of 8*10,000 per year and making
it elective. This office would take over
all the purely Territorial functions of
the governor’s office and probably those
now exercised by the Territorial secre
tary. There will be bills introduced
