TALK WITH SPOOK
Psychologists to Test Validity of
Alleged Messages from
Dead Professor.
MEDIUMS ARE CHALLENGED
Prize Offered for Revelation of
Contents of Letter Left
by James
MEDIUMS ARE CHALLENGED
ASSOCIATED Press1


NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The fact that
several spiritualistic meetings recently
asserted that they have received mes
sages from the late Professor William
James OF Harvard, one of whose ia
vorite themes was the possibility of
communication between the dead and
the living, has led the Metropolitical
Psychological society to propose test
as to the validity Of all such asser-
tions.
The society offers a prize Of $1,000
to any medium who will obtain from
the spirit of Professor James, when it
speaks through them, statement OF
the contents of certain letter sent by
him a few days before his death to w.
S. Davis, secretary of the society.
Mr.. Davis has the letter from Pro-
fessor James in his safe. No one else
has seen it or has received from him
any inkling OF its contents.
The Psychological society in making
public the prize makes the Following
comment on claims made by mediums:
1.-THE great difficulty with all mes
sages so far published is that they are
vague, indefinite and trashy and could
have been concocted by any one. Such
alleged communications have inYarl-
ablv followed the demise of all per-
sons of note in the spiritualistic field,
but the very simple test herein pro-
posed would considerably narrow the
question down and should easily be
within the capability of any person
actually in communication with the
spirit Of the late Professor James.
1--WE recognize in Professor James q
great and open-hearted investigator.
We have striven to maintain MS spirit
of openmtndedness toward all asser-
tions and have endeavored to give
them a full hearing and fair trying out.
That we have never encountered any
phenomena of a superhuman kind does
not wholly discourage us from looking
into any fresh assertions advanced as
to the existence Of SUCH"

BURGLARS LOOT STORE
OF FIVE HUNDRED KNIVES

With the apparent intention Of stock
ing a store, burglars entered the
premises of the California Hardware
company at 119 South Spring street
Friday night and looted the establish
ment of 500 knives, which are valued
at $500. Entrance to the store was
gained by ''jimmying'' rear door open.
The store was thoroughly ransacked
tnd every showcase and drawer where
knives were kept completely ransacked.
During the last few months several
thefts of revolvers and knives have
been reported to the detectives. In
each case reported the jobs appear to
have been done by a professional crook.
Whether the thieves are selling their
loot to out-of-town stores or intend to
open a store Is not known.
