SCHOOL BOARD MAKES A PLEA
  Mobile Feels Money Loss
 Keenly. MAY CALL ON GOVERNOR Het Those Who Forced This Come to Rescue" This is the Suggestion of Commissioners Andrews on Prokfbition--He Thinks Special Session Leg
 isiature Is Necessary.
 

Mobile, April s.-(Special.)-"L those who have forced prohibition on us come to our rescue"
 So spoke School Commissioner An- drews at the regular meeting of the school Board this morning in Barton Academy when the reading of reso- 1ution passed at a commercial club meeting and introduced by State Sen ator Mag Hamburger, Jr.. was read to the board.
 Commissioner Andrews contended that the board should go into the mat ter of the constitutionality of the pro- hibition law and get an opinion on it from the boards lawyers.
 A set of resolutions passed at the last meeting of the teachers in the county schools was read. It earnestly asked that the board retain the ser vices of Assistant Superintendent Ba- ker. The resolutions stated that if Mr. Baker was retired from his posi- tion it would work irreparable harm to the country schools as his work among them Is well known to the board. The communication was re- ceived and filed.
 Mere. the Secretary read the resolu- tions passed by She Commercial Club at It's last meeting and introduced by State Senator Hamburger They pro- vide that the school board shall get an opinion from its attorneys as to the ronstitutionality of the law and If found valid then ask the Governor to call a special session of the Legislature to give the school system of Mobile relief
 As the matter was about to be re- refved and filed Commissioner Andrews took the floor.
 @Gentlemen. I think this matter is of too grea importance to be received and filed and should be looked into by the board" he said. If this prohibit tion law is unconstitutional we should get an opinion. don't believe in fighting state laws and if our attor- ney renders us an opinion that the law in invalid then we can appeal to the Gevernor for a special session for re- lief There is no doubt that the session will be called within six months, any way, as present indications point, and this matter could come up. also want The assistant superintendentship re- tained. If Superintendent Baker is not a capable man then get somebody else. but have been a member of the coun- try school committee for many years and know that the position cannot bes abolished. without working great

A Peculiar Belief as to the Abode
of the SQul.

Boston Mass, November 22-Wil-
liam Z. Chandler, former Senator from
New Hampshire, and former Secretary
Of the Navy, Is the advocate Of q
new religious doctrine. He believes the
after death our souls will go. to some
Of the stars. there to be reinvested with
physical bodies and have the same
kind Of existence as here. only to a
greater perfection.
My faith In the future life," he
said, "is strong and ever present with
me. 1t Is my only faith. We have nc
knowledge of 1t, and 1t is intended
that we shall have no knowledge of it
We do not live as disinherited spirits;
We go to one Of the stars, where we
inhabit new physical bodies which en-
brace our present souls. We will see
and hear and have the senses OF taste
smell and touch, and, perhaps, other
new and more joyous senses. Admit
ting the future existence of the SOU
what more lobiical though, can VIC
have than our souls go to some other
part of the universe to take up their
abodes there"

$1,000 for personal injuries which he
had brought in the Federal Court
through lds attorneys, Guy Briggs
and Adolph Davis, of Frankfort, was
settled and dismissed Neither Martin
nor mis- attorneys are telling what
they received but it is certain that
when Martin quits the pen he will
have more than when he arrived at
it While martin was in the Gus
tody of the sheriff of Casey county
and riding on the Cincinnati Southern
road on his way 10 the pen, a few
months ago. the passenger train in
which he was riding collided with a

A HUNGRY GHOST
ATEA BISCUIT.
Remarkable Stories Told at
A Seance Of Spir-
itualiSm.

Ghost stories Of a nigniy interesting
nature to believers ard skeptics alike
were related a. a meeting of tle City
Temple Debating Society.
Tie stories were told by George
SprIggs at one time a spiritualistic
medium, and now the President OF
the Psycho-T Beral eu.ic Society. Every
story re said, WIS Well authenticated
His own conviction was "that spirit
communion is not only a possibility,
but an actual and realized fact"
On one occasion le said, a seance
was held round table at the resi-
dence Of Rees Lewis of Cardiff. All
the sisters including Father But
cher a priest, ana the Rev. David
Jones, kept their hands on the top
of the table. In about five minutes
raps We're near. and on looking under
the T. bic there were found a small bun
of grapes a branch from an apple tree.

and barley and some peas. One of IN
reverend gentlemen exclaimed:
This is as near americle as possible.

Melbourne. Mr.. Spriggs said that at
one seance a spirit form, dressed in
a white gown and red giTdle, drank
half a tumbler of water and ate
biscuit.
Weighing machines were used to as
certain the distinguishing features be-
tween the medium and the materially
ed spirit form, and" said Mr.. Spriggs
Il found tnat as a result of the
seance | had lost about three pounds
in weight" The first spirit form VINO
stepped on the scales turned the beam
at 100 pounds, but subsided so rapidly
in weight as to prevent a successive
record being taken. Indeed failing to
turn the scale at so pounds, he hur-
riedly retreated. Returning again, his
weight was registered at 104 pounds,
then 102 pounds and then under 100
pounds.

smear his hands with printers ink be
fore grasping that of the materialize
form. When the medium was examin
ed, however, the skeptic was grievously
disappinteod to find no traces whatevs
Of the ink which he had impressed up
on the hand ofthe form.
