STAGES "HOLDUP"
BEFORE His CLASS
Professor of Psychology Tests
Accuracy of Eyewitnesses
by,Noyel Means

MANHATTAN, Kan, Feb. 12.-Pro-
fessor Mex eever of the Kansas agri-
cultural college in an experiment be-
fore psychology class staged a
''holdup" in his classroom yesterday
and afterward took testimony on the
subject. The object was to test the re-
liability. of eyewitnesses-
Professor McKeevef selected three
young men to stage the "holdup" and
had them practice their parts in his
office He also made note of their per-
sonal appearance. They were instruct
ed exactly what to do and what to
say. All of these things were placed IN
a notebook in order that the testimony
might be compared with the facts.
The class in psychology had just as
sembled when in rushed Jones" who
whirled about and pointed wrench at
his pursuers and exclaimed:
Stand back or III shoot" Turning.
he ran across the room and dropped to
his knees, letting fall small bag
which he carried, saying:
There, take it, and ran out of the
room.
He was closely followed by Smith"
and White" Smith yelled, Give it
up, you scoundrel:'' and grabbed the
bag and ran out. White" came in
carrying a small revolver, with the
cylinder removed. yelling:
Take it from him. Eddie! He won't
hurt youl"
The play lasted only a few seconds
and Professor McKeeyer asked each
member of the class to write an ac-
count of what happened.
Although Smith was not armed in
any manner yet two testified that he
carried a revolver in his hands and
snapped it several times, while third
credited him with saying:
Stop, or I'll shoot" at the same
time aiming at Jones.
White, though armed, was scarcely
noticed. One witness testified that he
carried club of some kind, but no
one mentioned the fact that he carried
a revolver with the cylinder removed.
Likewise, testimony as to the appear
ance of the individuals did not agree.

OBTAIN PTIONFOR

With an option on the old st. Ignatius
college site the National convention
hall association announced yesterday
that the way at last seems clear to
make San Francisco "a great conven-
ton city. The new plan does away
with the Objectionable features of for
mer plans and has the enthusiastic
support of all businessmen so far inter-
viewed.
Although the Mechanics institute has

Site the Jesuit fathers accept price
of $SOO0 600 as the basis of negotiations
for the property bounded by Grove,

regard the project as one for the public

expected had the hall been private
enterprise The proceeds go to the
new st. Ignatius church and college.
ALL CAN BE OWNERS
Former schemes for public hail
fell through largely because of the fear
that it might be managed by one
clique. Opinion was further divided as
to whether the hall should be owned
by the city or an association OF cltl-
zens. In the new plan the people sub

The design is for an imposing public
building 275 by 1873 feet. The arena
would be equal to anything from an
auto show to a circus. For conven-
tions the hall could seat easily $1,000
persons. The style is the italian
renaissance.
ARRANGEMENT FOR OPERA
For the purposes of opera, one half
of the auditorium would be used. The
proscenium arch would be lowered from
the ceiling and the balconies at the

to cut out the unnecessary space that

Needless TO say that the hall was
crowded 10 suffocauon, OF that an
overflow meeting (preslded over by
working class lcaders) WIS held on
tho neighboring dung-hill
All went smoothly; the meeting was
apparently unanimous and certainly
enthusiastic: abundant wisdom was
poured out on the all-lmportant ques-
ton, and the hearts of all glowed
with satisfaction at the progress OF
the race-poultry. The very bantam
hens were made happy by the assur-
ancc that their claims to cackling
we're TO be seriously considered.
But when tho hands OF the clock
were pointing to ten minutes to ten
the excited audience. as they recov-
cred from tho enthusiasm produced
by one of the great speeches of the
evening, saw on the platform beside
the chairman battered-looking and
mlddle-aged barn-door cock, who they
perceived was holding forth In lugu-
brious voice, pralsing the career and
motives of every advanced politician
of the poultry yard.
