AT LEAST HE CLAIMS TO Gives Messages Said to Have Been Received from Late Prof, Wilson Jon eg.—Boy of Fifteen Years Med* iam.—Raaor Blades Hurled by Tfeeen Hands in Dark Room. William James, who was professor of philosophy at Harvard when he died on August 26, 1910, and who before hia death promised his friend, Dr. James H. Hyslop of the American Society for Psychical Re search, that he would strive to send such messages from the spirit world as would demonstrate life after death, has been trying once more, according to Dr. Hyslop, to com municate with Hyalop and others. Prof. James has been communicat ing lately through the medium of a boy, 16 years old, who. as Dr. Hyslop says, Is the son of a clergyman who Is known on both sides of the Atlan tic. Through this boy Prof. James in the last year has sent many mes sage* Dr. Hyslop wrKes In the Jour nal of the Psychical Research socie ty, but the meseagea often are ob scure. cryptic, snd pawling. Dr. Hyslop on November 20, 1911, called at the residence of the boys father, whom he calls “The Rev. Dr X.” and learned that Prof James had been endeavoring to speak through Dr X's son. The neit dsy the experiments were resumed. There was violent table tipping and deviation In whieh the table rose straight up two feet from the floor Then an attempt was made to see whether the spirits would move ob jects from one room to another “Doors were closed again snd the lights turned out," says Dr Hyslop "In s few moments something fell, sounding like two objects 1'p went the lights, sad within s few feet of each other were two pairs of scissors which belonged in another room The next was a nail rleaner and the boy • hnlfe. both from the room# upstairs Then a drinking cup struck the boy on the bead and seemed to have hurt him Next rame a abate key from up stain, then a doten marbles from the rooms two flights up A pipe stem was thrown across the room from a table in the corner then a fountain pen from the library table when we were \ piece of cocoa cake was found under tne chair la whtch I sat It cam* from the box on the library table on which I had rested m> paper In making notes of the occurrence, then two more sksts kevs came following ea< h other Then <ame a paper cutter which could nut b« found in the afternoon ar.d which Dr X wished to remove, fearing it might be used to the Injury of some one In the aexi experi ment the boy suddenly en lalmed he was cut The light »an turned up and hm right thumb »a* bleeding a! the root of the nitil and the chair on wh'ch he was a'tting was found to have a n«at slit In the leather cov ering Presently razor blades were thrown Into the room, the electric light bulbs were smashed with a violent!*- thrown stone, and a book was hurled on the boy's head At a similar seance later on a man with Dr Hyalop comflf.lined that hia pock et had been picked A spirit had abstracted a 2' cent piece Such de mon*! rations convinced Dr Hyslop that the hoy was mediumlatic. and the psychologist was prepared to re ceive through him meaaages from Prof Jamoa On November 29. 1911, James’ spirit manifested Itself by a rap v I)r X,’’ says Prof. Hyalop. "aaked Prof. James to spell out the name of the man who had influenced both of them. First Halzac wan spelled out. and then Goethe, both wrong, and then Fechner, whtch was correct. I then questioned the communicator, ecking first if he had ever communi cated with me. Answer affirmative. In Boston? Affirmative. Elsewhere” Affirmative. Near—? Negative. The North? Negative. West? Negative, flouth” Affirmative. All these re plies were correct. A few nights later Dr. Hyslop pin ched the boy’s ankle and the boy was unaware of the pinch, but a spirit, using the boy’s right hand, wrote: "Yod are too familiar." By automat ic In writing the spirit was asked what further demonstration he or she may give that night. The reply was "Good night." At about that time, during a crystal gazing science, spirits made a little fun of Dr. Hy slop. "The automatic writing, Dr. Hy slop records, “showed the following sentence in reference to myself: ’He has two pairs of pajamas and one black tie. and no best clothes.’ In the record the crystal gaxlng in which the boy saw visions of all sorts, I was again mentioned, and the message took the form of an In terlocution, referring to me, appar ently. Some puns were also com- inltted and then the message of: ‘They laugh It is dark ’ And then the second spirit said: ‘So, wrong. Give him two pairs of pink pajamas.’ Tba flrat spirit then remarked: 'Th* plpk of perfection. What shall I five hia for CkriatmM?’ The aae-j OKI KKOMK DIHOlYKRY Body of a Woman Wa» Removed From Grave in t'emetvs-y A Chattanooga dispatch savs in tense excitement prevailed m that city Monday as a result of a grue arm* discovery In Rore«t Hill reme tery the most popular burial groun : of th* city Earh viaitor* dincoier ed near one of the drtvewava the body of a woman lying on top of a grave which had been opened during the night The cor;>«e was that of Vlra Carl Scherer, who died in St Elmo on Chriatmaa day C.houl* had opened th* grave some time during Saturday night, removed tne bod> refilled the grave and placed the body on the mound, the head res’ing on a fr»-*h wreath which had been taken from a nearbv grave The cemeterv was closed and a guard placed *t the gats* while an investi gation was made If there la anv clue to the miscreants the officials of the cemetery refusk to make it put) lie No one Is willing to advance a theory aa to the motive for the crime ond replied Morning I mourning i black tie.’ when the first one replied ’You are not serious enough "Some years ago." Dr IDslop con tlnues, in attempting to explain thin levity on the part of the spirits, "a reference was made through Mrs Chenoweth to Prof James while he was In England with hia lecture and about the same time Dr Hyodgaon purported to communicate through Mias Gaule (Mra Bathbun), and aald ’Tell me, James, he looks cute in pink pajamas ’ In communi cation with that he was wearing pink pajamas I have a black tie of his which I have used aa an article In my experiments with 'Mrs. Chenoweth It was not possible for the boy to know about the necktie or the pink pajama Incident." Then came the most curious part of the whole performance Profea sor James, having promised the boy’a family to protect them against the poltergeist, informed the medium of where dangerous objects were hidden In the house. A search was made and a broken Ink bottle, numerous razors, about 100 matches placed on top of a closet door, so that there was no dan ger of their lighting, and other ob jects were found. Throughout the various seances the spirit of Prof. James caused the boy to write or express a secret sign, the Greek letter Omega, that had been arranged between James and Hyslop, and the spirit made other allusions, which, says Dr. Hyslop, could not poUslbly have been known to the boy medium.

The war between Turkey and the Balkan States is about over. The Grand Council of the Ottoman Em pire Wednesday voted in favor of ac cepting the proposals of Europe for a peace settlement between Turkey and the Balkan allies. The Turks were badly whipped in a very short time, and may be after this they will behave themselves better than they have in the past. The armies of the allies will be withdrawn from in front of Constantinople As formerly announced, the Grand Council “approved the Government’s point of view, declared Its confidence in the sentiments of equity voiced by the great Powers and expressed the wish to see tbeir promises ann pro posed assistance effectively realized " It also asked the Government to exert all its effort to insure in the future the safety of the coun:ry and the development of its economic in terests.” The question submitted by the Turkish Government to the Grand Council was "Should the re commendations contained In the note of the European Powers .be accepted or rejected’’ The Government frankly confessed itself in favor of agreeing to the sug gestion made by the Powers, act af ter a slight discussion the aasemb’v decided almost unanimously in agr--'- m*-nt with the view of the Govern m< nt The mert-ng of the Grand Count 1 which was fraught w’th su' h Importance »as of .ref dur.i io-i and its decision in favor of a. o- t Ing the Views Of the Powers W .IB al most unanimous T ,e Su.'an g i . an audience to the .iss-tn t.lage col'.ei tlvelv with the Grand Wrier anil the Shielt ul Islam Ttn members of the louncil w.-re grouped according to the r professions the tn ! farv ofTn ers civp offb tals S- nators an I I uG n as forming distiie t grou; s The note of the powers was tea,) of’er which Vizim Pasha the n, ms ter of war expla red -he mil ’arv s" nation and the m n.-ti-r of foreign a' fairs made a statem t 1 on the for- gn situation \ • the - on- lusn-n of « statement regard.np 'he attitude the Government ' • t.rar.-l • o-imul registered i's do, sioti The no'.- hand' d 'o * he pot 'e on Januarv IT hv the Gyro ,-an ambus sadors tailed tfu- O' - -mati Govern merits st'i-ntion ’■> the grave re sponstntf-'T tt would Heenine if Li re ststanee their tout-.-Is It should prevent 'he r- ah-htnont ptacr* It would have onjv its,-if to blame if the prolongation of the war had. as a conse p:t-nce to pm in question the fate of the Capital, anil perhaps to ex't-n I ho-Pirtb s to the Asiatic provinces of the Empire The Powers call' ll Turkov s aften Mon to the fact that after the cotielu a Ion of peace it would have need or the moral and nia’erial support of the Powers to repair the evils of the war The note pointed out t^iat the Turkish Government could count on the efficacy of the benevolence of 'he Powers only so long as it deferred to their counsel, inspired by the general Interests of Europe and Turk'-v The Powers advised Turl*e y to consent to the cession of Adrianople and to leave to them the fate of the Aegean Islands. Plenipotentiaries of the Balkan Kingdoms are Immensely pleased over the decision of the Turkish Grand Council at Constantinople to accept the advice of the Powers While it had become increasingly cer tain in the past forty-eight hours that the Turkish elder statesmen were prepared to face the hitter fate that ends the Empire s history as a European nation, it was hardly ex peeled they would register their de y - cision so quickly and so definitely This is so unlike the customary supporting proof, that Turkey might sCP have cards up h^r sleeve. The Forte’s reply to the point note of the Powers will be handed to the ambas sadors, however, and the remainder of the negotiations leading to the signing of the peace treaty are ex pected to be an anti-climax. One crucial point of differences re mains to be'settled in the question of indemnity. The allies propose to levy a heavy payment upon the de feated nation. They speak of |20n,- 000,000 as an adequate sum. Their ir.inumum is an amount equal to the Turkish de>bts attached to the terri tories which they will annex under the treaty. Id Reference to Corrupt Inflaeoee of R*ilro*d Attorney on the LeglsU* tore. The House on Thursday passed 'Mr. Remberdt’s resolution asking Sena tor Tillman to submit proof of his charge that a certain railroad attor ney controlled the general assembly, contained tn the Senator's reply to s special message from the governor. The Senator’s reply has not yet been read in the house. W. A. James of Lee, suggested that the Senator’s charges of corrup tion concerned only the members of the house who had been re-elected. Mr. Wyche of Newberry opposed the adoption of the resolution on the grounds that it was of no interest to the people of the State, being a mere squabble. Mr. Moore of Abbe ville advocated the passage of the resolution. Mr. Stevenson of Chesterfield call ed to the attention of the house that the message of the governor which started the row" had been reported by the house, judiciary committee and that It would be well to dispose of both senate’s resolution and the report of the committee. The judic iary committee recommended that the governor's message urging re striction of newspapers and Senator Tillman's reply to It be printed in the journal The house agreed to the corfimittee's recommendation.

Catastrophe Caused by the Collapse of a Large Department Store, Which Waa Densely Crowded Dur ing n Big Bargain Sale, in Which Were Many Women and Children. The work of clearing away the wreckage of the Cheeves Brothers department store, which collapeei at McKinney, Texas, Thursday, was abandoned at midnight, the search ers being convinced there wer-j no more bodies in the ruins. Mayor H. A. Finch gave out a statement plac ing the dead at eight. Fifteen In jured were recovered, six of whom were seriously hurt. The others were only slightly Injured. The store had been crowded dur ing the dsy by citizens and nearby families of farmers attending a bar gain sale. According to Vernie Graves, the only person known to have escaped uninjured from the falling ruina, there were fully fifty people in the building at the time of the catastrophe Cracking of timbers and swaying of the building were quickly follow ed by the collapse Excitement at tending the accident was increased by the falling of a two-story build ing adjoining the department store Rescue work waa impeded by th* lack of mechanical facilities ami practically the entire male i>opula- tlon of McKinney Joined in fighting the fire and searching the smoulder ing ruins New a of the disaster • pread quickly and Incoming Inter , urban lines brought score* of farm- ‘ ers, who Joined In the worx Many of those in the Ul fated building when the collapse came i • ere women and children Their cries spurred the reacue workers m , their efforts to tear away the burn ed and splintered timber*, behind | which the Inmates of the building were pinned Two persons reached liv the re* I cuer* lived only a few minutes after they were taken from the ruins An' emergency hospital wan hastily ^on - structed in a nearby building anl! phvslnan* from all [-art* of the town I rushed to the scene to render medical aid Two of the dead were taken from- the debris alive, but died within an hour at a sanitarium One of these ' Mrs Marv Stiff pleaded with the firemen working n the tangled mass above her to kill her at tin- fire was rsptdtv reaching her She waa, 'rought out barelv alive N It Pres lev talked w:th t tn- fireman as they toreawav the wreck dre, t, | the sound of hts vni.e He „»-» deail when tin v reai h.-d hmi I. \V Push, a rap-tj Kurnev * believed to those still pinioned beneath the • reiksge Pre'ley told those en deavoring to rescue him that Bush was on the opposite side of the coun ter from him when the building fell The building ad'oining the ('beeves Brothers • sia‘-11*1,-io nt was occupied by a farm implement con cern The collapse of a wall in the implement house ihr' * .t, weight against the corner building, and. with a noise that jarred the town >o Its foundations, both sank into rums At the harsh crackling of timners, clerka and customers alike broke for the streets Pressed outward bv the weight of the heavy stock, ttie wall of the Implement store swayed, sag ged and burst through into the de partment store, and, ip aa instant hundreds of tons of merchandise and the wrecked and shattered building material rained in a heap into th'- department store, flying thirty-five feet In the air .lagged timber stuck from the mass After a moment of stunned activity, hundreds of rescuers pitched into the ruins. Scarcely had they mount ed the heap when tongues of flame burst through it. From all over the city came workers and were formed into relays by Mayor Finch. As one shift became exhausted another took its place. From the steaming ruin bricks were hurled aside, timbers torn out and cast into the streets and human forms lifted from the wreckage and hurried to hospitals. The fire was extinguished In an hour, but sometimes the flames brought the volunteer fire-fighters to the victims, who prayed for fheir res cuers to hurry. N. R. Presley, a clerk, was one of these. In inter rupted gasps he told the firpmen that he was waiting on Leslie Bush, an Allen, Tex., capitalist, when the crash came. Then Presley begged: "Kill me, or give rite a gun so I can kill myself. I'm burning. My right foot is burning off." A few-minutes later, when the res cuers reached him, Presley was dead His right foot was burned to a crisp. As darkness fell, electric lights were strung across the ruina. Aaalatance came quickly from nearby towns and from all <parts of the State came offers of aid In spite of ttye Immense crowds, the scene • as almost silent Men talked in whlapera. At tke temporary morgues only those looking for bodies were admitted. The Members of the Hoaee of Rep* refeentetlvee Ask Repeal of the Fif teenth Amendment.
