NO CRIME SAYS JACKSON
Roy Houghton. Arrested for Defraud-
ing Topeka Firm, Released.

The refusal of Attorney General
Fred Jackson to approve the applica-
ton of Assistant County Attorney Ar
thur J. Bolinger for the issuance Of
requisition papers for the person of
Roy Houghton. now in Decatur. Ill,
has blocked the efforts Of the local
county sheriff's Office to bring back a
man charged with having obtained a
bill of goods from the w A. l. Thomp-
son Hardware company under false
pretenSes.
Deputy Sheriff Hal Norton, who left
for Decatur a couple of days ago on
the understanding that Houghton
would not demand extradition, has
started home and Houghton has been
released by the Decatur police. 1t is
charged that in the latter part of Au-
gust Houghton induced the hardware
company to sell him household goods
on credit, based on his assertion that
he had a contract for a year with a
local company and that he intended to
use the utensils in his home here. That
he shipped the goods to Illinois with
the intention of defrauding is the
charge upon which the complaint was
issued.
In his reply to Bolinger's applica-
ton, Attorney General Jackson ex-
pressed doubt as to the commission of
a crime, according to the statement of
the case furnished.

HAMILTON IS HURT.
Aviator Was Racing With an Automo-
bile at Sacramento.

Sacramento, Sept. 10.-Aviator Chas.
K. Hamilton was seriously injured
when his biplane crashed to the ground
during a race with an automobile
around the fair grounds race track.
Hamilton was taken to a local hospital
and several physicians called in con-
sultation. It is believed he is internal
ly injured.
Hamilton met with two accidents. In
the first his machine was damaged.
when the machine fell but Hamilton
was unhurt. Hamilton made another
ascent. He circled the mile track three
times at great speed, racing an auto
mobile which was unable to keep up
with him. After the third round he
attempted to alight but the huge ma
chine swooped down straight to the
earth at an acute angle. dashing to the
ground in full view of 10000 spectators,
among whom was his wife
The aviator was found unconscious
and covered with blood under the en-
gine of his biplane. He was extracted
and sent to his hotel. An examination
failed to reveal any broken limbs, but
the surgeons fear that the pelvic bone
is fractured and that he sustained in
ternal injuries
Hamilton's face was badly lacerated
one eye being entirely closed. 1t was
necessary to put him under the fnfiu-
ence of opiates and the full extent of
his injuries have not yet been ascer<

discover impending disaster in the af-
fairs of a bank He will be accom-
panied and assisted on the trip by
Oscar L. Telling, formerly a national
bank examiner and now chief of the
division of reports in the comptroller's
Office. After citing that examiners of
failed banks had offered excuses that
they had been unable to learn in ad-
vance of banks true condition. that
officers and directors of banks would
not correct conditions brought to their
attention or any one of another dozen
reasons, Mr.. Murray in his statement
says:
1.-The comptroller also desires to as
certain why some examiners are cap
able of correcting. while they are in
the bank, all the conditions subject to
either unable or unwilling to accom-
plish like results and only report their
criticisms to the comptroller's office.
Many of the examiners state in
their reports of examinations, forward
ed to the comctroller'S office. that it
is a hardship not only on the examiner
but on many of the members of the
directory of country banks, to ask the
various boards to meet with the exam
iner during the progress or at the close
of the examination.
1.-The comptroller is of the opinion
that a board of directors which will
not or can not meet with a representa-
tive of the government for short time
twice each year to go over in detail the
conditions which he finds and reports
to it, is composed of members who
are not doing their duty in any sense
of the word, and it is now proposed to

Prize OF 81, 900 Is Offered by q
Psychical Society
For Communication From the
Late Prof. James.
CHALLENGES MEDIUMS
To Read a Letter That Is Lock
ed in a Safe.
Chance for Those Who Claim to
Have Heard From Him.

New York. Sept. 10.-The fact that
several spiritualistic mediums recent
ly asserted that they have received
messages from the late Prof William
James of Harvard, one of whose favor
lite themes was the possibility of COM
munication between the dead and the
living, has led the Metropolitan
Psychical society here to propose a test
as to the validity of all such assertions.
The society offers prize of $1,000 to
any medium who will obtain from the
spirit of Prof. James. when it speaks
through them, a statement of the con-
tents of a certain letter sent by him
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 president of the psychical soci-
ETY. in making public the prize offer
makes the following comment on the
ward by various mediums:
THE great difficulty with all the
messages which have SO far been pub
lished is that they are vague, indefin-
ite. and trashy and could have been
concocted by any one. Such alleged
communications have invariably fol-
lowed the demise of all persons of note
in the spiritualistic field. but the very
simple test herein proposed would con-
siderab1y narrow the question down,
and should easily be within the capa-
bility of any person actually in COM
munication with the spirit of the late
Prof. James.
I'VE recognize in Prof. James a great
and open hearted investigator. We have
striven to maintain his same spirit
of open mindedness toward all asser-
tion and have endeavored to give them
full hearing and fair trying-out. That
we have never encountered any phe-
nomena of a, superhuman kind does not
wholly discharge us from looking into
any fresh assertions advanced as to the
existence of SUCH
