yond the ken OF the average human
mind and appears impossible TO the
skeptical
However. there are doubtless a
score OF believers who will say that

the other hand. In Bramwell's work
on "Hypnotism," the, author says:

have seen nothing. absolutely nothing,
which might be fairly considered as
affording even the slightest evidence
OF the existence OF teiepathy. or any
OF the so-called occult phenomena
He then describes a series OF expert
ments In reading cards conducted by
committee OF the Society for Psychi-
cal Research. where the subjects were
generally hypnotized, and so abnorm-
ally susceptible, and states that the
percentage OF correct gusses fell far
below the number which ought to have
been reached according to the laws Of
chance
But notwithstanding this. he leaves
an opening for Mr. Thomas when he
says: Despite all this IL would be
unphilosophic to deny the possibility
of telepathy. and ! am quite ready to
be. convinced OF its existence. II any
one can divine even as few as six out
OF every dozen cards selected by the
operator under circumstances similar
TO those described
Oliver Lodge. in an article in Har-
per's Monthly, says: The first fact
established by the society's labor wds
the reality OF telepathy-that Is 10
say. of the apparent direct action of
one mind on another by means ul-
known to science. That a thought or
image or impression or emotion an the
mind OF one can arouse similar i'm
preston in the mind OF another per-
sou sufficiently sympathetic and suf
ficiently at leisure u attend and rec
ord the impression is now proven.
But the mechanism. whereby II is
done, or even II there is anything that
can be likened to physical mechanism
at all, Is still unknown"
So, while science knows nothing Of
the process by which these results
are reached, il cannot deny that such
things do exist, and whatever Mr..
Thomas himself believes. he has hit
upon one OF the most subtle ways OF
stimulating the interest Of his audi
ences. He has built a powerful play
which. whether or not one agrees
with the main idea conveyed. 1t must
be conceded TO be taken from the
beaten path and by its very mysticism
placed above the commonplace.
The characters, as portrayed by Mr..
Thomas. are living. human beings.
Big.hearted Jack Brookfield, as created
by Mr.. Thomas and played BY How.
ard Gould. delivers more powerful
sermon, without preaching, than the
average minister. and the Justice
Prentice OF Charles Males shows the
human side and poetical nature of the
Judge and not the milk-and-water kind
too often placed on view in books and
in the drama. The remainder OF the
cast is in capable hands.

DIEKEMA OPPOSES
FREE SUGAR CLAUSE

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Rep.
Diekema, OF Michigan, delivered a
speech in the house yesterday In
which he criticized the proposition to
permit the entry OF 100000 tons an
nually OF Philippine sugar into the
United States free OF duty. He said
this would ruin sugar firms. Mr..
Diekema said he liekd the maximum
and minimum schedule provisions OF
the Payne bill operating automatically
and from the standpoint of Michigan
where the farmers are brought into
contact and competition with Cana
dian products, he was pleased with the
agricultural schedules.
