Messages From Mars

they are light Then the wire-like
cloth covers them. There are fifteen
points or parts OF the wings that are
filled with air These wings go up
and down, The coil at the bottom are
used to help the wings open, The
power winds the coil, The power is
electricity and the batteries are where
the coils are, These are three big
coils. One is for the wind sails, one
is for the wings, and one is for the
propeller. The coil is used with the
sails because it is sometimes needed
when the winds are strong. The pro-
peller goes like wing. The wind
makes the ship go some"
The sketch of the airship shows an
amusingly impossible scheme of
mechanism which resembles roughly
a hattened balloon, suspended upon a
fiat boat with sails. The little holes
in the drawing are said to be the
means OF entrance, DR.. Hyslop COM
ments on the technical absurdity OF
this ship, the evident confusion Of a
propeller with the helm, the appro-
priation OF forces like electricity now
under the constant discussion in pop
ular literature and appealing. strongly
to the popular imagination, as evi-
dence which takes the Martian "com-
quite out Of considera-
ton as spiritistic revelations.
The value, however, of these in
dications of the action of the second
airy personality-for he is very posi-
tive that no conscious fraud on Mrs.
Smead's part is involved-Dr. Hyslop
is inclined to insist upon. One OF the
most important functions of psy-
chology is to explore the regions of
our personality that is not self-con-
scious and of the conscious second
ary and tertiary personalities that
sometimes are an outgrowth.

AERIAL NAVIGATION ON MARS

How They Fly by Airship on Another
Planet, According to "Communica-
tions" Received Through Celebra-
ted Medium.
This Smead case, which according to
scientific men of the American So
ciety Of Psychical Research has been
second in interest only to the cele-
brated case of Mrs. Eleanor J. Piper
OF Boston, is one which Dr. Hyslop
has had under constant investigation
for number of years. The name,
it should be said, is an assumed one
The lady in question is the wife of a
clergyman living at some distance
from New York. She has never re-
ceived any money for her work and
has been examined under conditions
that would seem to make any CON
scious fraud impossible. While many
of the results obtained through her
are plainly due to the action of sec
ondary personality and need no super
natural or supernormal hypothesis,
others appear to Dr. Hyslop to be
susceptible of only supernormal ex-
planation.
The Martian revelations, which
ceased abruptly some time ago, are
characteristic of the phenomena that
can best be interpreted in terms of the
subliminal personality. Systematic
experiments had ben made with Mrs.
Smead since about 1895. Early in the
course of them, the communication"
began to refer to two or three of the
planets. Finally Mars came definitely
uppermost. The communication from
this planet was Maude, the desceased
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Smead. Names
were given for the various zones,

KNOX FOR ROOT 5

FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL
PUBLICLY ANNOUNCES HIS
ACCEPTANCE.

Augusta, Ca, Dec. 22.-President-
elect Taft last night announced the ap
pointment of Senator Knox Of Penn
sylvania, as secretary of state in his
cabinet.
The announcement followed the re
ceipt by Mr.. Taft of a telegram late
in the afternoon conveying the infor
nation from Mr.. Knox that he would
accept the premiership.
Senator Knox said to the Associated
Press last night:
1T is true. as Mr.. TAFT has an
nounced, have accepted his invitation
to enter the cabinet as secretary OF
state. l have had the offer under con
sideration for some time, and been
persuaded by those with whom / have

that it is my duty 10 accept.
With me public service is a duty
which | accept. not because of any
honor which / feel | may derive there

therefore, accepted philosophicaIly the
offices which have come to me, being

duty as a citizen thereby

Flushing, n. Y, Dec. 22.-The trial
of Thornton ]. Hams on the charge OF
aiding his brother, Captain Peter c.
Hams, Jr., in killing William E. Annis,
was adjourned last night until Mon
day, after a day in which the state
developed the strongest testimony so
far adduced. Herbert F. L. Funke
and Arthur Andrews, both eye wit
nesseS of the shooting, swore that
there was an interval between TIE
first shot fired by Captain Hams at
Annis and the others that came in
fairly rapid succession.
Both declared positively that Thorn
ton Hams pointed his revolver at
those on the float after the first shot
and before the succeeding shots were
fired. An exhaustive cross examina-
ton on this point material to the pro-
secutions case, failed TO shake their
testimony, Andrews stated that fol

Captain Hams fired several shots at

Washington, Dec. EFF you pro-

the remarkable declaration of Judge
E. H. Gary, chairman of the board OF

house ways and means committee
yesterday.
He said that the competitors of the
steel corporation needed protection,
but that the corporation could take

ARBITRATION IS
CASTRO'S SCHEME
WOULD SUBMIT QUESTIONS or
DIFFERENCE WITH FRANCE
TO JURY.
TO JURY.

Berlin, Dec. 22.-There is an evf-
dent desire on the part of President
Castro to effect an arrangement of
the outstanding difficulties between
Venezuela and France. When asked
yesterday whether there was a pos
sibility of the relations between the
two countries being renewed, Presi-
dent Castro authorized the following
statement:
L believe it would be very easy to
bring about a renewal of relations
between Venezuela and France by
submitting the questions at issue TO
arbitration in the usual way adopted
when two nations cannot find other
means for settling their differences
Castro had a lengthy private con
ference with a prominent representa-
tive of the German foreign office. AS
the latter spoke Spanish and not
even an interpreter was present, the
subject Of the interview is not
known. President Castro also re.
ceived Senior Matte, minister of Chile
to Germany.
A further consultation between
President Castro and DR.. Israel took
place yesterday afternoon. The sur.
geon advised Senior Castro to remain
quiet. The Venezuelan executive did
not leave his hotel during the day
and took his meals privately with his
family

PROPOSES UNITED

SIR MAX WALCHTER TOURING
CONTINENTAL CAPITALS IN
THAT BEHALF.

Paris, Dec 22.-Sir Max WalChter.
who is touring the capitals Of Europe
advocating the abolition OF emperor
and kings and the formation of the
united states of Europe, was received
yesterday by Minister of Foreign Al
fairs Pinchon. Sir Max favors KIM
Edward as the first president Of HI

Last October the London newspa.
pers published a long memorandum
by Sir Max advocating a federation Ct
the states of Europe, "as q remedy
for the existing alarming situation in
yolved in the opposition Of disunited
Europe to united North America
The memorandum said that the plans
of Sir Max had been submitted to all
the reigninG sovereigns of Europe.
Sir Max said that from converse
tons he had had with soveTeigns and
statesmen, he was aware that his idea
could mont be realized, but he thought
that in no other way could the calam-
ity of European war be avoided, and
he hoped that something might come
from the venti' alton of his ideas
among the peoples themselyes.

SECRETARY ROOT IS DISABLED
Compelled to Call a Specialist to Look
After a Lame Knee.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 22.-Secre-
tary of State Root, who has been
suffering from an injured knee for
two months, has at last called in a
specialist to make an examination
and treat him. Secretary Root came
10 the cabinet meeting yesterday in
his carriage and it was with difficulty
he left he vehicle. He limped into
the white house apparently with
pain. He remained only short time
at the meeting, leaving long before
il was over, to keep an engagement
at his home with the specialist, who
came from Philadelphia.
The secretary received his injury
in the late political campaign, when
he was in Ohio making a stumping
tour for Judge Taft. 1t was not con-
sidered serious at the time, but he
has been compelled to walk with a
cane ever since. The injury made
slow progress in recovery and during
the past week has caused the secre-
tary to be absent from his duties at
the state department for several days,

RISE OF THE vANDERBlLTs.
Commodore Was 20 Before He Mace
His Great Fortune,

Commodore Was 20 Before He Mace
His Great Fortune.
The Vanderbilt fortune, once thu
greatest financial power in the United
States, probably amounts, at the pres
ent moment, to not far from 100000
900, says McClure's Magazine. OF TIN
William Nissan Vanderbilt, who col
trolls the majority of the family prof.
critics, holds in the neighborhood 81
$100,000,O00, while twelve or.fifteen d.
scendants of the commodore sharf
among themselves the remaining 500
600 900.
Perhaps the most remarkable fac
in the whole remarkable career of Con
modore Cornelius Vanderbilt is that
he did his really important work ant
heaped up his enormous fortune after
he was 20 years old. He was born In
1894 and almost all his energies, until
the outbreak of the civil war, had beer
absorbed in the management OF b"
numerous steamboat and steamship
lines
Cornelius Vanderbilt, when running
his steamboats, up ard down the Hue
son river, had felt keenly the compf
.itiOn Of the railroad along it's eastern
shore. Later developments led him
clearly to perceive. what most Of b.
contemporaries saw only family that
transportation in this country would
follow the line, rot OF the canal and
he river, but Of the steel rail- A
soon as he caught this glimpse Of The
future. Vanderbilt characteristicallr
acted upon it. Fifty years before fore
seeing he possibilities Of steam traVel
by water he had sold his whole sal
'ng feet and purchased steamboat
ing inst as promptly now, he sold
all he water craft and began purcna
