SPIRITS vENGEFUL.
Weird story About Louise Gordners

The inquest over Louise Gordner,
who committed suicide in Jackson by
taking carbolic acid, brought out the
fact that haunting spirits had made a
tramp out of her. She was born In
Bonneville, Ind, where the galaxy OF
spirits first asserted themselves and
drove her away.
First in one town and then another
she worked, fleeing some by night and
some by day in vain hope to escape
their nagging. From Ohio she came
to Detroit, where her spirits manifest
ed themselves to such an extent that
she fed in terror to Canada. From
small town in Canada she was sent
back to Detroit, where she found her
spirits waiting for her at the dock.
Then she fled to Jackson. She complain
ed that her spirits Travelled along the
rails ahead of the engine. which pulled
the train to Jackson and met her at
the depot when she alighted. Finally
In despair of ever escaping them, she
committed suicide.
This story was gained from the girl
herself by Police Lieutenant Crow
comb, on request of Gus Gordner, OF
Bonneville, Ind. who made the request
In letter, saying he was her cousin
The jury said she was insane.

At the same time the stream of
anonymous threatening letters con-
tinues. One daughter, Louise, is the
special subject of attack, and death
by mysterious means is threatened.
Matters growing out of the trouble
have been in court, but apparently the
family do not know who their perse-
cutor is. The police and United States
authorities have been working on the
case for over three months without

Inasmuch as Clarence Eddy, the fa-
nous organist, is, to give recital to-
morrow evening on the fine Auditorium
organ, it is apropos to give few of
the data concerning what is the fourth
organ in size in the United States, be-
ing excelled only by those in the Salt
Lake City Tabernacle, the Chicago .Au-
ditorium and the Cincinnati Music hall.
MI. Eddy's position in the organ world
gives assurance that his test of the or
gan s capacities will be complete and
thoro.
The new organ was completed and
set up almost exactly year ago, and
weighs more than forty tons in its en-
stirety. In. size it is 20 feet square by
As feet in height, and consists Of four
stories. It is operated by bellows
having a capacity of 5000 cubic feet
a minute, and this in turn is 9 worked
by a ten-horsepoxer motor. Like all
the newer makes of organs, it is con-
structed on the pneumatic tube basis
and ~the lightest pressure on the keys
by means of the. valves is instantly
communicated to the pipes. OF these
there are 1000, ranging in size from
the big diapasons 33 feet long and 2.
feet in diameter, to those 50 small as
to require the utmost dehcacy Of han:
ding, in tuning and, voicing.
There are more than 140. stops and
accessories on the organ, the registers
including pipes for II sets Of
strings, = 16 of diapasons, IL of reeds,
and II of the flute stops. There are.
also II couplers. With such vast ar
ray of pipes, registers, couplers and
pedals almost every shade of musical
tone can be given and the roaring of.
the lion and the twittering of the birdS
can be initiated with equal ease. The
swell organ, the choir organ and the
solo organ are each enclosed in separ-.
ate swell boxes and placed inside the.
main organ I
