Mortal Power.
BY Leased WIG to rne Trlbune.

BY Leased Wire 10 Tho Tribune.
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-Spiritualists
and psychics not only in New York.
but the country over, are praying to-
day for the recovery of the 15-ycar-old
daughter of DR.. James A Hyslop, the
leading spirit in .pyschical research in
the country, who is desperately i'll
with typhoid fever.
The request for their prayers was
sent out today by DR. Titus Bull, of
the famous Bull family of physicians,
who is in attendance on the girl.
The letter which DR.. Bull wrote was
read at the meeting. of the ladies
auxiliary OF the First Spiritualist
81 have done all that mortal power
can do to save the life of Dr. Hyslop s
little daughter, - wrote DR.. Bull, land
have given up. The only thing that
can save her life is intervention from
tho spirit, world, and L write for pray
ers to ask the spirits to do this
Without further word, the fifty WON
prayer for the half hour asked Word
was sent to DR.. Bull Immediately after
the meeting and he expressed satisfac-
ton.
At the home of the girl it was said
tonight that she was resting as easy
as could be expected and that there
had been Il slight Improvement in heI
condition. 1t was impossible to learn
whether DR.. Hyslop himself recon-
mended the course of the physician fol
the effort to have him express an opin
ion found him as -committal a:
ever as to whether he really believed
IN spirit world whose occupants could
return to this world Mt all.
Miss Hyslop has been i'll for sis
weeks, Her illness at first was thought
to be only severe throat trouble, and
then she was thought TO have an at
tack of the grippe. When DR.. Titus
Bull was finally called in, however, he
declared that the young grl had really
been suffering from walking ty
phoid," which later developed into q
severe case.
DR.. Bull denied that he had made
the request for the prayers OF the
spiritualists, and later il was stated
that the request came by telephone from
Mrs. Bull, wife of the doctor.

ATTITUDE OF PEARY

Special Cable to The Tribune.
LONDON, Feb. 5.-The information
cabled from the United States that
Commander Robert Z. Peary has taken
the active lead in preparations for an
Antarctic dash and that congress may
give a sum of money for the work, has
given an impetus TO the work OF or
ganizing and equipping a British ex-
pedition and Lieutenant L. H. Shackle"
ton, who will lead the English expedi-
ton, has been asked TO hurry his prep
arations TO the utmost. 1t has now
resolved itself TO race for the south
pole, with the betting in favor OF the
expedition which gets away first,
Lieutenant Shackleton and other sci
entists and geographical experts are sur
prised at the utterance of Commander
Peary. in which he suggested that for
mer President Roosevelt should lead
the American dash. 1t is universally
looked upon as an ill-timed piece OF
humor from the discoyerer of the north
pole. And many people in England
believe it is joke which Mr.. Roose-
welt will not appreciate when he learns
of it.
Critics Viewpoint
Even at thlS time preparations are
going forward to welcome the Ameri-
can statesman here with all the hon
ors OF king after his return from Al
rica, and while it is not looked upon
as slur TO be looked upon as n lead
er in n dash 10 the pole, it is posi-
tion that should never be mentioned for
statesman without scientific knowl-
edge Mingled with the criticism OF
Commander Peary for his apparent sar-
casm is the further criticism of hls
methods in disposing OF certain of his
north pole relics.
a great deal of surprise was eH-
pressed when 1t became known here
that Mrs. PeaFy has sold to Mrs, Nor
rs X Jessup for the American Museum
of Natural History in New York City,
meteorites brought from the north pole
by Peary for the sum Of $4,000. 1t
is pointed out that If the American
Museum OF Natural History and the
late Morris K. Jcssup, its chief director.
had been n patron of Pcary, aiding him
upon many of his polar dashes, that
he should have donated the meteorltes
to it instead of giving them to his wife
and allowing her to sell them. Com
mander Pcary, it is understood here,
was on full pay in the United States
navy during his absence north, and it
has been suggested that his rarest rel
les should have been donated TO the
United States government for its dis
posal or To the Smithsonian institute III
Washington.

BIG COPPER MERGER
TO BE MODEL TRUST
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.


WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-The billion
dollar copper merger. the latest of j.
P. Morgan's gigantic financial enter
priscs, will be a 'Emodel trust, - EN-
bodying the good features pointed out
in President Taft's federal incorpora-
tion BILL according to belief that
grew current here today following the
visits of George w, Perkins and Frank
A. Vanderlip, president of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York. Mr..
Perkins called upon President Taft yes
terday and this afternoon Mr.. Wander
lip made an extended visit at the White
house.
Mr. Perkins is believed to have de-
livered to Mr.. Taft Wall streets ap-
proval of the federal Incorporation bill.
He hoped that the measure would be
framed quickly and become a definite
law so that the copper merger might
conform with all its clauses. Mr., Per
kins feels that the copper combine
could go ahead with more assurance,
once the federal Incorporation bill were
enacted as a guide.
