OPPOSES GROWTH
Of SPIRITUALISN
Special Envoy of Pope in
Washington on This
Mission.

j. Godfrey Raupert, former rector of
the Anglican Church of the Octogan. ar
Bath, England. has arrived in Wash

20 combat the growth Of spiritualism in
this country. He is a guest at St.
Iauls Seminary, near the Catholic Uni

Mr.. Raupert was the founder and first
president o. the Society for Pschyic Re
search in London. He became a convert
10 the Catholic church through his IN
vestigations on occult subjects for the
benefit of the Anglican Church. which
had become interested in the crusade
against it.

which threaten and they gave Mr.. Ral.-
pert extraordinary powers 10 lecture be-
lore the seniinaries of the entire Eng

loWnS synopsis of his work today:
The position Of the Catholic church
Is this: 1t admits the reality of spirit

other danger TO those who tamper. with

Supt. Mcfarland Reports Waste of
Water At Local institution.

According to w. A. Mcfarland, super
intendent Of the District water depart
ment there is daily leakage of 1900
gallons of water at the Columbia Insti-
tute for Deaf Mutes. This waste Of water
was made known to the Commissioners
today in a report from superintendent
Mcfarland
Mr.. Mcfarland believes most of this
waste to be due to the impaired condi-
ton of the plumbing at the institution.
He informed the Commissioners that upon
inspection he. found nearly every spigot
and flush tank there to be leaky and in
extremely bad condition. The valve on
the water supply to the swimming poo
was found to be leaking at the rate OF
10000 gallons a day. In addition to that
he found a defective joint in the two-inch
pipe supply to duck pond which was
responsible for q consumption of 5000
gallons water q day.
The Commissioners will bring the at
tention of this matter to the Interior De.
partment. which has jurisdiction over
the Columbia Institute. and a request
will be made that DR.. Edward NJ. Galiau-
Diet. president of the institute, be directed
to correct the alleged defects without
further delay.
