and that its alleged mysterious forces

shop WAS taken up and q brick par:t-
ton wall was removed. The Press
was assisted in the work by Prof. Carl
Herring. a consulting engineer OF eNpe-
rlerce; Prof. Arthur w. Goodspeed. as
sistant Professor of Physics, of the
University of Pennsylvania; Prof.
Lightner Wilmer, Professor of Expert

who has had special training in eXplo-

Clarence b. Moore, son of Mrs.
Bloomfield Moore, was an interested
spectator.
The statements in the article which
are substantiated by signed statements
of the above named scientists are to
the effect that tubing was found con-
cealed in the brickwork and under the
floor of the laboratory. This. it is
claimed, laid bare the possibilities of
deception as the tubing is of the kind
calcula ted 10 stand high pressure, and
could have been used in connection
with the great steel sphere found last
week in the laboratory, which the ex-
rertS intimate was used as Il reservoir
Tor compressor air or compressed
gases. and the tubing could thus form
an agency for the forces that moved
the motor in the exhibition room. The
contention of Mr.. Keely and his friends
for many years has been that no tub
ing Of any kind was needed to work
his machines.
The views OF Mr.. Herring and Prof.
Goodspeed are that the presence of
the tubing and sphere indicates the
use of normal forces and possible de-
ception on the part of Kelly. In this
view Clarence Moore concurs and Prof.
Wilmer feels that the possibility OF
trickery confirms the diagnosis that
most psychologists make as to the de-
lusive character of the Kelly mystery
