FIGHT SEATTLE
BATTLE OVER

The Spokane equal suffragists,
who fought at the Seattle conven-
ton as the Old Guard fought at
Waterloo, gathered in the chamber
of commerce assembly room last
night and got lot of fun as well
as further determination out of re-
counting the memorable engage
ment.
The net result was reaffirmation
of the decision to reorganize and
60 back into the fray stronger
than ever for the success of the
equal suffrage amendment to the
state constitution at the next cleo
ton. Mrs. Hutton announced that
II had been definitely decided to
hold the October reorganization
convention in Spokane instead of
Walla Walla.
ID. c. Coates, "the man of the
hour" in the Seattle battle, retold
the story of the way Mrs. De Woes
strategy worked out against Spo-
kane and how she herself was
hurled from the saddle by the ma
= tional officers. A funny feature re-
lated was how the Spokane forces
foraged on the enemy by eating
the Seattle delegates lunches,
which were left in the room where
the Spokane cohorts were locked
until resolution could be put
through unseating them.
The most interesting address
was made by Mother" Wilson, the
aged and bent little laundry work
ing woman who is deyoting her eff
forts as she earns her own living
TO the welfare of the girls she
works with. She was a delegate
10 the convention and told the sur
fragists she talked with there
about the working girls and how
much they need all the help that
can be given to better their cond-
ton.
The plan for suffrage rally at
Liberty Lake Sunday was outlined
last night. The suffrage headquar-
tiers there Is called Camp Equality,
and members of the clubs and
friends of the cause will be well
coined. Anyone unfriendly to the
cause may come and be shown the
error OF his ways if he cares to.

TURES OF WOMEN WHO

Mrs. Charles Lane, mother of
four little children in a humble
home just east of the city limits,
was compelled to let her picture
be taken by Police Inspector Lewis
at the station last night. to be
given to each of the department
stores In the city.
She was caught shoplifting In
Kemp & Hebert's store yesterday
afternoon and was taken to the
station by Officer H. G. Rolf.
She was arraigned before Judge
Mann and entered a plea of guilty,
but because she is the mother of a
family her sentence has been post
poned pending an investigation of
her case. Mrs. Lane admitted hav-
ing taken small articles in other
stores. She is believed to be a
kleptomaniac.
1t is a new plan of the police
and the department store managers
to have the picture of each shop
litter taken for a rogue's gallery
to be maintained in all the big

Mass, studio. 1t was not disturbed.
Suddenly Frederick Thompson,
the untutored goldsmith, was
seized with wild desire to paint a
landscape. He thought he was 60
ing insane, and in despair called in
Professor Hyslop, who recognized
at once that he was in the throes of
a remarkable psyche control.
Thompson got paint and brushes
and dashed off picture thatsMas
called masterpiece. The coloring
and shading were perfect He stood
amazed at his own work.
This picture was the finished
painting of what r. Swain Clifford
left unfinished when he died, five
years before.
The mystery was too deep for
Professor Hyslop, expert that he is.
So he asked the Lamberts and Han
negan to help him.
All the money of Mr.. Lambert
will be devoted to the cause of
solving ghost secrets If it is needed,

Special Correspondence to The Press
ST. LOUIS, July 15.-Jordan w.
Lambert, millionaire chemist, and
his wife, whom he believes to be a
born medium, shortly will join
Prof. James H. Hyslop, world noted
spook expert, at Narragansett pier,
where the rich st. Louisan will try
to solve Professor Hyslop's latest
spirit marvel.
The professor, who is president
of the American Society of Psychic
Research. has astounded ghost in
vestigators by his discovery.
1t is of a plain craftsman who,
being incarnated with the soul of
dead artist, seized a brush and
palette and struck out a master
piece, whereas he never had any
idea of what art was before the
famous painters death.
The dead artist was r. Swain
Clifford, whose soul, Hysiop says,
now is in the body of Frederick
Thompson, a New York goldsmith.
In st. Louis society this has re-
vived the old question: What is
the strange force that exists in the
Lambert family, which enables
three members of the household to
conjure up spirits at will?'
1t was Professor Hyslop who
first brought out the power of the
Lamberts when they entertained
him at their summer home, in
Rhode Island
Jordan w. Lambert, jr., eight
year old son of the millionaire, and
his caretaker, Will Hannegan, both
are psychics, Mr.. Lambert and Pro-
fessor Hyslop declare.
Have the ghosts conjured up by
flanagan and the spirit of Artist
Clifford anything in common?
This the expert will try to un-
ravel this summer.
Hannegan has made spirit hands
place fresh roses on the Lamberts'
dining table daily; he has reached
up his arm, and a ghostly hand has
stretched down through the ceiling
OF the room to grasp his.
Mrs. Lambert recently had a
strange vision wherein she saw a
boy hurt in Welsh coliery, though
the ocean separated them. Agents
of the research society vrified the
accident to the boy, and Mrs. Lam
bert sent the family of the lad a
sum of money to help them while
deprived of his aid
