KAISER IS BELIEVER
IN SPIRITUALISM

BERLIN, March 4.-The kaiser Is a
convinced Spiritualist; at least SO DIR.
Egbert Muller, the well-known me-
dium. asserts in a book which he has
just published.
Many OF the acts OF the kaiser which
are regarded as peculiar are account
ed for, according to the doctor. by
the emperor's spiritualistic tenden-
cies.
These tendencies. the doctor asserts,
have always been in the Hohenzollern
blood. The kaiser's forefathers have
shown distinct mystical and transcen-
dental ways of thought
The author insists that the kaiser
goes even further than merely being
inclined TO spiritualism. lie con-
sciously accepts it as an objective
truth, and even carries in his watch
case fragment OF the garment OF a
medium. This fragment is supposed
to have certain mysterious virtues and
to inspire the kaiser in many OF his de-
ciSiOns

To JOIN DEPICTS
PROPOSED
SUBCOMMITTEE IMPRESSED AND
WILL INVESTIGATE PLAN
CADILLAC AND COTHRoP-AvE.
FOLKS DON'T WANT TRACKS.

An extension OF the street car lines
along the river front, connecting the
Brush-st depot with the Union and
Michigan Central depots and tapping
the more important wharyes. was con
sidered by the subcommittee on extern
sions and Encouragement Of the com
mittee OF SO. in its meeting Wednes-
day afternoon. The suggestion was
made by Thomas Neal. OF the Acme
White Lead 4 Color works. and a
member OF the subcommittee. Mr..
Neal and Thomas Reeder were dele
gated to investigate the proposed plan
and report as early as possible.
The plan contemplates the extern
sion OF the present depot line. which
runs up Third-st., To the Brush-st.
depot via Woodbridge-st.. with spurs
running down To the docks wherever
needed for the accommodation OF
freight cars. This would facilitate
the receiving and delivery or freight

turers OF the Milwaukee Junction dis

tricts. convenient To the factories.

peared before the committee to pro-
test against the building OF line on
that street instead OF on Pennsylvania
ave. They pointed out that the big
water main in the street would be
damaged by electrolysis and that the
street is too narrow for a car line
without being widened, which would
mean the sacrifice OF number Of
shade trees. The committee was so
impressed by the arguments that II
was practically decided that the lines
must go on Pennsylvania and McClel.
lan-aves., as first planned. >This will
probably mean another protest from
the residents OF these streets.
The committee, on the recommen-
dation of Messrs. Hannah and Neal,
who investigated the situation. decid.
ed that Baldwin-ave. was preferable
to Van Dyke for the proposed new
double track line.
In response to the vigorous protests
of Lothrop-ave. residents against the
proposed crosstown line OH that thor
oughfare, the committee decided 10
substitute Milwaukee-ave., but the
street will probably have to be
widened in places. The plans for a
north and south loop in the west end
were revised so that 1t will run down
Scotch to Fort and up Hubbard to
Porter.
