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

’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.

This W1U Bring About Peace, and
the War Msy be Said to be Over
and the Armies of the Allies Will
Return to Their Respective Coun
tries.
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

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.

Catastrophe Caused by the Collapse
of a Large Department Store,
Which Waa Densely Crowded Dur

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

hundreds of tons of merchandise and
the wrecked and shattered building

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.

nearby towns and from all <parts of
the State came offers of aid In spite
