The Society for Psychical Research has never
been looked on altogether kindly by orthodox
philosophers and scientific men, They do not
generally consider the Investigations which it
conducts a legitimate direction OF study and
Inquiry though some scientific men are found
to engage in them The subject matter of the
society's researches has always lacked a suf-
fciently descriptive name; "occultism" suggests
tricks and mysteries and the term ''psychical' -
which the association uses, is found fault with
as too inclusive. Mr.. Charles Richet, Its new
president, in his inaugural address has attempt
ed to make good the lack by suggesting the
word metaphysics" with it's corresponding adj
jective, thus proposing the rebaptism Of the or
der as the Society for Metaphysical Research.
The metaphysicians will probably now be heard
from in opposition to the notion and ready II
need be- to throw brickbats at those who favor
it, The new president is spoken of kindly by nu-
merous conservative journals, medical and other
and he lays forth the aims of the society in a
reasonable manner, not oversteppng the mod
esty becoming to inquirers in a field OF shadowy
illusions such as they are undertaking to ex-
plOre.

the inquiry than has been obtained for many q

seems to animate the witnesses OF the gas
monopoly. and they are much franler than they
seemed likely to be not long ago. The expert

Life insurance companies know that teetotal-
ers make the best risks, and as a class live
longer than the moderate drinkers as class by
from 20 to 80 per cent. A number of actuaries
and medical directors have been working
the statistics for several years. with the
result in prospect that the total abstainers will
soon have policies offered to them at q consider
able reduction from the rate which moderate
drinkers have to pay. ImmOderate drinkers are
not taken at all by any Of the companies know
ingly. though some sober up long enough to get
in and then go on as before, the line between
moderate and immOderate drinking not being
easy to define. It is foreseen that persons TAX
ing out policies as total abstainers may after
ward throw those restraining principles over
board and adopt more self-indulgent habits and
an effort will be made to provide remedy for
such cases in the terms of the contract The
official recognition by the companies that even
moderate drinking tends to shorten life is a good
argument for the temperance societies and one
with a sound statistical basis which cannot be
said for all the contentious they advance.

Divorce Granted

On an allegation of cruelty Mrs. Su-.
san B. Mckenzie of Los Angeles was
granted an interlocutory decree of di-
vorce from James A. Mckenzie by
Judge York in department four of the

according to the allegations of the
wife, her husband became infatuated
with another woman and from that
time on her life was one of constant
misery.
"One evening"" said Mrs. Mex enzie,
in giving her testimony, my husband
came home and he was in an awful
rage because supper was over. AS
had learned he had been out with an
other woman and that he was late on
that account. / refused to prepare any
more supper for him and he became
angry and threw me out of the house
and told me to stay out / have not

ding We were both present at that

WILD PANIC ON COTTON
EXCHANGE IN NEW YORK
PROFESSIONAL TRADERS TAKEN
BY SURPRISE
Nearly Ono Million Bales Sold at New
High Levels for the season-Ad-
vance Of 81 to 1os Points In an
Hour
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2t.-The ginners re-
port published at noon showing only. T.
49S, i67 bales ginned to November IA, when
estimates averaged around sO00,O0O, Just
before the report was published, was fol-
lowed by one Of the quickest and most
violent advances in tho history OF the
cotton market. Tho close was officially
described as excited and irregular at a
net advance Of 791S3 points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales,
OF which fully 100000 bales were trans
acted In the last hour of trading.
The market opened steady at a net ad-
vance of to I points, in response to bet
ter cables than expected. Before the re-
port was Issued the market was very
quiet and ruled somewhat irregular. with
prices gradually sagging back to about
the closing figures of yesterday in ex-
pectation that the report would prove
bearish and UP to general estimates cir
culating recently, placing 1T at from about
1900, 900 TO S,2O00OO bales.
When tho report was Issued the mar
ket became sensatlonally active and ex-
cited. and Inside Of ten minutes had re-
covered the recent losses and sold at a
new high level for the season, with jan
uary touching Sl1.70 March sill 76; May
$11::9 and July s11.9S, or about 97 to 1OS
points higher.
There was great confusion after the
advance and prices moved 10 to 20 points
between sales. Local professionals had
counted on a bearish report and were
heavily short of the market and were
thrown into a veritable panic.
At the advance there was heavy real
izing and prices eased back about 20
points from the top.

FINANCIAL

los ANGELES, Nov n.--Los Angeles
bankers generally were too busily engaged
IN looking after interests Of patrons TO
give detailed pointers on the financial sit
uation. They stated IN brief however,
that business was exceptionally good, and
that all commercial affairs Of the city are
apparently In the best possible condition.
Al Of the local banks are well SUD
piled with cash and they have good sized
balances IN eastern banks to meet any
ordinary demand
A Leading banker called attention to a
recent report from New York showing
that there are thirty-six national banks
IN the. New York Clearing house, only
nine. Of which during the week Of Novem-
Der steadily maintained the legal reserve
OF % per cent, some Of the other banks
In the list falling below Ave and ten
weeks In succession. Reserves are main
teined for the purpose OF being drawn
upon in cases OF emergency and an occa-
slonal deficit by q national bank Is not
open to criticism In times of sharp de-
mands for money. The report shows
that the National City bank and the
Chemical National bank Of New York
have always carried heavy reserves, and
have served to strengthen and sustain tho
other banks whose reserves temporarily
were not UP to the legal requirements.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-This was an
other day of very broad and active
speculation in the stock market.
Plenty of evidence of the strong alb
sorptive power of the market was
shown and there were signs as we'll of
the extension of interest In outside
Quarters attracted by the rapid rise in
prices OF the last few days. But 1t
was obvious also that a liberal distribu
tion of holdings was going on to take
advantage of the growth Of interest.
The violent advances in prices which
profits In many cases that the induce
ment to realize is strong. The market
showed the effects of this movement as
the day progressed and became irregu-
lar and at times reactionary. Some
stocks were affected by profit taking
upon the announcement of good news,
the pressure upon stocks gave the i'm
preston of some positive factor of
weakness In the latter class were the
9MetronoItan TraGtion st stofks In the
action of that stock proved that the
demand on account of the proposed in
crease in the dividend had been filed
mostly before the announcement of the
increase which came today
On the report that the semi annual
distribution had been increased from
check to the advance was consider
able influence upon the whole marke t
but there were abundant offsetting In
fiuences. The most conspicuous was
among the stocks centerng about the
metals and smelling Industries. Yes
terdays increase included Calumet Sc
Hecla, which was included in the group
today.
The upward flight of prices in the
metals which make up the produce of
these companies. especially copper,
lead and silver. was naturally a
strengthening influence. Smelling pre-
ferred, Locomotive preferred and St.
Paul preferred were the striking ex-
ample st. Paul was affected to some
extent by the belief that subscription
privileges for the $25, 900 of treas
long time would be Forthcoming before
long.
The money market made further pro-
gress toward relaxation but, It is, felt
that this phase about reached its limits
under the conditions existing.
The subscriptions to the Japanese
loan, 1t is believed. will not be paya BILE
mary installments.
Sterling exchange declined In this
market but New York exchange at Chi
cago also dropped back to 25 cents
premium compared with 40 cents prem
flow of currency to New York were
modified accordingly.
The pressure on the Southern Rail-
road stocks was aggravated late in the
ming of cotton indicated by the census
bureaus report which precipitated u
panic among the bears on the cotton
exchange. The irregular tone OF the
latter market was not altered by the
violent bidding up of Brooklyn Transit
and National Lead and last prices were
in many cases below those of last night.
Bonds were steady. Total sales. par

TO RUN LIMITED ON ALTON
Rock Island Officials Arrange Plan for
Relieving Congested Traffic
Condition

Rock Island railroad officials have
decided to run the Golden State Linn
tied over the tracks of the Chicago
& Alton from Joliet to Kansas city
after Nov. 26 in order that more ia
Vorable conditions for making faster
time between Chicago and Los Angeles
may be secured. On account of such
heavy business, they find that they
cannot give the limited the full right
of way on their own tracks and a cut
off of 20 miles will be secured by the
new route.
The local officials state that the train
VIII still remain a Rock Island train
entirely, being pulled by Rock Island
crews and that the Alton will have
nothing to do with handling II but
will receive a certain mileage for track
age privileges.
