Ogist, Made Plans to Test
Life After Death.
By Leased Wire to The Tribune.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Following out
tho carefully wrought plans made by
Prof William James, the Harvard psy-
chologist, before his death week ago,
fellow psychologists Will try to hold con-
versation with tho shade of the dead
scientist, and put to the test the theory
that spiritualists can actually hold con-
ycrsations with spirits of tho dead. 1t
was learned today that Professor James.
before his death. made elaborate plans TO
find out whether he could come back to
demonstrate that spiritualsm has some
foundation. Prof. Jamos II. Hyslop, head
of the American branch Of psychologists
will go to London In November and hold
series OF slttings with the celebrated
medium, Mrs. Leonard Piper whom Pro-
fessor James designated as the agent
through whom he would try TO communi-
cate with his friends on earth,
Members of the American Society for
Psychlcal Research said that not long be-
fore Professor James's death he wrote
tents OF which were known only TO HIM
self These letters were placed In the
vault of the English Society for Psychi-
cal Research, with Instructions that they
were not TO be opened until year after
the writer's death.
The purpose OF these posthumous let
tors Is 10 put TO test the theory OF sDir-
ituallsm While Professor James seldom
committed himself upon tho tennbility of
the spiritualist theory. nevertheless he
was known to be deeply interested IN It..

from his spirit in seance the sense OF the

NEW YORK TAKING CARE
TO KEEP OUT CHOLERA
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.

BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.
NEW YORK, Sept. S.-New York is be-
ginning TO awaken to the danger OF
cholera epidemic. The recent hold up of
the Lusitania. because OF a suspicious
case aboard, has served to bring home
the fact that only the utmost care can
prevent the introduction of the plague.
DIR. Doty, health officer of the port,
says that the precautions he Is now TAX
Ing Will prevent cholera getting In. In
ternational health regulations are better
than they formerly were, However, every
precautlon Is being taken. 1t Is tho
mild. Irregular case which is most to be
feared say the doctors. and It was
thought for time that the sick man
aboard the Lusitania might be a mild
case OF cholera. It Is this sort of case
that transmits the disease around tho
world. said DR.. Doty. "Whlle wo are
positive Of holding UP any ordinary case.
II is perfectly possible that an irreg-
ular. or mild. case might get past under
some circumstances, II Is Italy that we
are watching with great anxiety just
now. You cant put a guard around
Italy which will prevent person who
wants TO get away from boarding a ship.
There Is even a chance that a person
already infected or carrying food or
water infected with cholera germs Will
sooner or later reach an Italian port Or
vessel may be boarded for New York
The Italian authorities, however are TAX
Ing the most careful precautions"

BY Leased Wire to The TRIBUNE
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-Interested pri-
marily in helping poor but ambitious
men and women. Miss Anne Morgan, the
daughter of ]. P. Morgan. has had her
endeavors focused to definite action by
the sad case OF Miss Vera Fitch. the
California girl who tried to commit sui
eide by shooting herself at the Hotel
Astor through her failure to win literary
renown.
The case OF Miss Fitch has ramifyIng
elements which are In accord with an
elaborate programme which Miss Nor
is TO help young girls who are led Into
New York through ambition to shine in
the realms OF literature, art OF music.
Many sad cases have been brought TO
public attention where girls have beer
lurcd to New York as the goal of achieve
ment. New York to them has seemed
the candle. and they. like moths, have
huttered into the fame while trying to
win distinction In their accepted lines of
endeavor.
May Establish Bureau.
1t is said by friends that Miss Morgan
has IN contemplation the establishment
Of bureau In this city which may be
sought by ambitious girls to learn the
intrinsic worth of their labors. For in
stance, the girl who leaves her home and
seeks active success in literary pursuits
or In music, or in the drama may have
her efforts criticised first by q jury OF
competent men and women. to learn
whether she is really r1tted to compete
In
1t has also been suggested, but not
confirmed. that Miss Morgan may seek
the advice and kindly counsel of Judge
Ben Lindsay Of Colorado before putting
into complete consummation her plan to
help poor girls.
Although Miss Morgan Is averse to
discussing her altruisttc plans and her
charitable work, 1t has been said bv her
friends here that she and Judge Lindsay
are In perfect accord on great many
such subjects, among them the enterprise
Of establishing a bureau OF fine arts for
the aid and guidance Of ambitious girls
Broad in Philanthropy.
The daughter Of Americas foremost
banker has been interested in many prof.
ects for bettering the condition OF the
lend the power Of the influence of her
family name to plans for the aid OF
working girls,
The present enterprise is a sort of de-
parture for her, but her friends predict
that she will be able TO carry 1t through
to victory. and in this way will aid
numberless young women and save 9TH
ers from untimely oblivion.
In connection with the same project
there Is said to be another. This sec
ond plan embraces the founding OF
great home for girls where they may live
with all tho comforts that they would
enjoy among their families.
While the primary object is to assist
girls TO succeed, there IS q strong ten
dency TO dissuade girls untitled for ar
tlstic and literary effort from pursuing
barren fields and thus falling prey to un-
scrupulouS men.

THE FIGHT
A One-sided Conflict 1'hroughout-Jef-
fries Disappointing from the Outset.

Reno, New, July 5.-Perhaps it was
case OF youth being served, perhaps
it was piece Of luck. At any rate
Jack Johnson today stands forth as the
greatest heavyweight in the world, with
none to dispute his title unless it is
Sam Langford, equally black as John
son and fully as confident as Jeffries
was yesterday than he can take the
measure of Tommy Burns's conqueror.
There is no denying that johnson
showed the greater speed, strength,
judgment and skill. But was it the
superior fighting qualities OF the negro
that won the battle for him-or was it
lucky punch, or was it strange pail
that seemed to como over Jeffries the
moment he stepped into the ring? Fair
minded critics will not take anything
from Johnson for the victory or battle
he fought. He fought clean and with
consummate skill.
But settling down to brass tacks,
Jeffries lost everything he seemed to
show while in training from the
moment he stepped into the ring. He
had absolutely nothing. Cold as fish,
his hands more like icicles than the
great bone and gristle maulcrs that
had sent SO many men to defeat, he
was not like the Jeffries whose training
stunts made the great judges OF con
dition marvel. Why he should have
gone to pieces upon entering the ring.
as Sam Berger, Jim Corbett and Billy
Muldoon say he did, may come under
the head OF psychology, but sporting
men just say Jack got Jeffries's goat. :
In the very first round Jeffries showed
evidence of having lost everything
save confidence and courage. He was
slow of foot, hand and eye; was
blocked with ease, could not land 4
solid punch when he had the oppor-
tunity and in the clinchcs he seemed
as weak rs child. Some Of his efforts
in the early stages were ptifuI.
AS early as the third round, in hall
clnches, his attempts to prod Johnson
in the stomach had every earlnark OF
the fighter gone for good-whippcd but
not knowing it; hoping against hope
and believing that if he could land
enough blows he was essaylng, he
would work the chance to put in the
finishing punch.
Only twice in the battle did Jeff show
any sign of being dangerous and that
was when he sent two successive
smashes to the stomach. Both hurt,
bringing grunts from the negro, but
the black mans head was clear, and
whatever damage the punches may
have inflicted was quickly shaken off.

today of the all-ni ght rioting here fol-
lowing the announcement OF the result
of the Johnson-Jeftries fight MODS at
times rushed through the streets. The
negroes were wild with enthusiasm.
Many celebrated the event by drinking
and as the evening progressed they be-
came more boisterous. The streets
were thronged with people who were
out to sec municipal fire works display
and this fact added greatly to the
seriousness OF the situation. All along
PENNSYLVANIA avenue, from the
White House to the Capitol, there
was almost continuous riotng. In
one place three negro women
attacked two white women who were
standing on the steps Of their residence.
An angry crowd chased the negro
women and had almost overtaken them
when policemen rushed to their rescue.
After they were put in q patrol wagon,
the women started to fight the police,
one of them severely biting Patrolman
Benefits arm, inliicting serious
wound. In one saloon brawl, Arthur
Smith, was kicked in the abdomen by
several negroes and was taken to the
Casualty Hospital in critical condi-
ton. lrthc same fight two negroes
were badly cut about the head and
rushed off to a hospital. Cries OF

with two other negroes had assaulted
two half grown white boys for calling
Johnson a niger. The police sue

ing the negro away.
The Baptist ministers OF the Dis
trict of Columbia today made formal
appeal to the commissioners OF the
District urging that they refuse to
allow any moving pictures OF the

here. The ministers at their weekly
conference discussed and deplored the
prize fight. They declared that its
effect upon race feeling should not be
increased by the display of moving
pictures. In the appeal to the com

that they would be dangerous to the

of a court composed Of nine and llis
death Will be an especial loss to the
democrats OF the coutry Throughout ms
services Chief Justice Fuller was noted
for the dignity with which he filled
his office. He preserved that manner,
whether on or off the bench. Ills
studv If literature was reelected in the
style Of his opinions and addresses, ana
he was regarded rs IN authority on
international law. His death recalls
his own words ut the centenary OF the
court twenty years ago. Judges VIII
be appointed, :" said he, and wilt pass.
One generation rapidly succeeds an
other But, whoever comes, and who
ever goes, the court remains, keeping
alive, through many centuries we shall
not see, the light that burns with a
constant radiance upon the high altar
of American constitutional justice. d"
Three times since President TAFT as
sumed his Office has death rendered 1t
necessary for him to fill Supreme Court
vacancies. Justices Pcckham and
Brewer and now Chief Justice Fuller
have passed and fourth change is I'M
pending in the resi- gnation OF Justice
Moody, for whose retirement special
act of Congress has been enacted.
Never before has so swift Il succession
of calls been made upon the chief exec
utive Tor appointments to the highest
court. The death Of Chief Justice
Fuller places on President Taft the
great responsibility of appointing u
head for the highest tribunal IN the
country. 1t has been more than ten
ty-two years since this duty has de-
volved on Il president.
