stories of the manifestations at pri-
vate circles which he held regularly /
in his home every Sunday night at
o'clock.
His small apartment was in the
second story of a>frame house on a
quiet street and the sitting took place
in the little parlor. The cabinet"
was an alcove bedroom which was
separated from the parlor by heavy
draperies The family consisted of
his wife, her small daughter and her
mother. One other visitor, young
Pole, and myself made up the "cir-
cle."
l examined the bedroom and closet |
at the request of the wife and then
took my seat beside the young Pole.
The wife played softly on the piano.
Under these conditions and while a
kerosene light was burning brightly
enough for one to perceive anything |
in the room, the psychic suddenly ap-
peared looking very white and very
intense and began to pace up and
down before the curtains. At last 1
movedso the right of the portiers and
stood gazing intently at the opening. |
"Come .out!" he commanded.
NoiseIessIy-Iike a puff of gray
blue vapor-a figure emerged and
confronted us. Its head and shoul- |
ders were we'll defined, but the arms
appeared to trail off into smoke-Iike |
yelling. Its eyes were indistinguish-
able, its chin vague, but it bowed sew
eraI times in slow and solemn fash
ion!
Meanwhile 1 was studying the psy-
chic who stood with strained, dis |
tracted look on his face, his knees
shaking. One hand was outstretch-
ed and clutching at the air as if he
were making supreme effort to hold
the apparition till should have time
to study it. The other was at his

meet and mingle and the psychic fell
like log inside the curtain, but the
heel of one foot remained visible.
The wife continued to play softly
on the piano until at last the heel was
withdrawn and my young host ap-
peared looking pale and weak, but
calm and mentally alert.
He told me that he had held the
"materialized form" as long as he
could; that he felt drawing out"
of his vital force, through his solar
plexus and from his forehead.
"It is always hard to produce a
form so far away" he said.
Conditions were not as I would
have made them for a test, but they
were plain and simple and the sitting
courtesy on the part of a young
man who earned his living by hard
work in the Office of New York cor
poration.
1 could not explain this projection
of the astral then-rlor can now. 1t
is one of the deep mysteries of my
life.

SUFF BOMB IN X THEATER.
Lighted Fuse Seen in Time to Pre-
 vent an Explosion.

Dublin, May 11.-A tin canister containing 42 gunpowder cartridges was found last night in the lava tory of the Empire Palace Theater. The cartridges were padded with cotton saturated with oil. A cot ton cord also oil soaked, was at tached to the canister and the cord was burning when the bomb was found.
 A girl, formerly employed at the theater. was arrested. Nothing is known, however, to connect her with the suf'ragette movement
 Later in the evening an alarm clock 10 which a small box was at tached was found in the telephone box of the postoflice on College Green. An examination failed to disclose any explosives.
 A fire in a large unOccupied house at Beckinham, outside of London, this evening was extinguished after three hours work. Bremen were alarmed at finding a bulky parcel in one of the burning rooms. They thought it contained a bomb, but examination revealed that it was merely cylinder.

to fasten upon Mexico the most un- popular set of officials that ever attempted to control a republic on
 his continent.
 The recognition of Huerta's power" he said, would be a blot upon civilization and a shame to humanity, because a power that is a consequence of a treacherous act and a double murder cannot but follow a course of crime"
 He said a coterie of wealthy men of Mexico City had tried to defeat the campaign for justice inaugu- rated by Madero three years ago, but the effects of the brutal mur- ders of Madero and Pino Suarez had proved that the flame had been kindled anew.
 Mexico is afame, and no power under heaven can stop the fight that will not end until Huerta and Diaz and all such conspirators either pay with their lives the pen alty of selfishness and disloyalty or are driven forever from the repub- lie"
 Governor Fuentes said he firmly expected the forces of Governor Carranza to march into the City of Mexico by July 1.

Troops Retreat to City.

Nogales, Ariz., May u.-After an estimated loss of 400 men on both sides in fighting, which lasted from 3 o'clock yesterday morning until nightfall 2,50O federals were driven back into Guayamas, the California gulf port by 300 insurgent Sonora state troops Heavy cannonading reported from Ortiz, the state troop base, indicated that the attack on Guaymas proper had begun.

ENGLAND TERRORZED
 BY N|L|TANTS' BOMBS
Four Dynamite Attempts and Burn ing of Mansion Constitute Days Work of Suffragettes-
 Outrage at Dublin.

London, May 1.-The suffragette orgy of violence being carried out by the "Bobette" squad reached a climax yesterday, when four bombs, all bearing Votes for Women" were found in various parts of the country.
 The first bomb was found in the waiting room of the Lime street station, Liyerpoors main railroad station, which is well known to American travellers. The machine failed to explode on account of for tuitOus circumstance.
 The failure of the fuse to carry the spark to the powder prevented the explosion of a larger bomb, which had been sent through the mail and was discovered in the sorting of the Reading postal sta ton. The package containing the bomb was addressed to a local mu- nicipal officer, who was away on his vacation. It is believed that the sender was aware of this and hoped the package would be left in the town hall to await the official.
 The ticking of the clockwork at tracted the attention of a mail clerk He reported the matter to the police, and upon investigation it was found that the bomb was electrically fitted and in full work ing order.
 The third outrage occurred at Cambridge, where suffragette bomb exploded in the university footbali stand, but luckily failed to ignite a large pile of shavings which were nearby, thus greatly lessening the damage.
 Fearington Hall, the S50,000 man. sion near Dundee, belonging to Henry McGrady, former lord pro- vost of the House of Commons, was burned yesterday by the militants. The, house was not occupied.

FURTHER EFFORT 10
 PLACATE JAPANESE
President Wires California Govern or That He Thinks Land Bill Dis criminating-May Invoke
 Referendum.

Washington, May ll.-Secretary Bryan last night formulated a mes sage to Governor Johnson of Cali fornia, setting forth representations of the Japanese government and views of the administration here as to what was considered discrimi- natory in the Webb anti-alien bill passed by the California legislature, and now awaiting action by the governor.
 Mr. Bryan conferred with Presi- dent Wilson an hour, discussing in detail the formal protest filed by Ambassador Chinda, It was de- cided the secretary should frame a communication to Governor John son, but the nature was not dis closed.
 Mr. Bryan said the message would not be sent last night. He probably will confer with the presi- dent today before diSpatching it.
 Advises of Action.
 Mr. Bryan communicated with the Japanese ambassador immedi- ately after the conference with the president, but it is believed he merely advised him of the intended course of action. Formal reply to the Japanese protest will not be made by the state department until an answer is received from Govern or Johnson as to his action on the bill.
 The impression that spread in official circles last night was that Secretary Bryan would urge the California governor to refer the bill back to the legislature for modif- cations that would meet the Jap anese objections.
 May Invoke Referendum.
 There is a well-founded belief that if Governor Johnson refused either to veto the bill or recom- mend notifications, California friends of the federal administra- tiOn would attempt to invoke the referendum with the idea of nulli- flying the law until an election could be held, the interval being used to obtain a complete under standing automatically between Japan and the United States, or perhaps to frame a new treaty cov- ering disputed points.

 Is Allame.

Fl Paso, Tex, May ll.-Parral, a rich mining center of Southern Chihuahua state, is in the hands of constitutionalists the federal gar rison of l,5OO evacuating uncondi- tiOnally, according to reports of an American mining man reaching here on a motorcycle yesterday.
 After leaving Parral, the federal column proceeded toward Chihua- hua City, the state capital, where all state forces were ordered mo- bilized two weeks ago. Gen. Pom cho Villa, who has recruited 400 men in the Guerrero district, is hurrying overland to assist other groups of insurgents in cutting off the retreating federals.
 Official confirmation of the eyac- uation of ParraI has been admitted by Gen. Antonio Rabago, command CT of the northern military zone, with headquarters at Chihuahua City. It is explained that the Par ral garrison was out of ammuni- 8ion, and was virtually forced to move out.
 The state capital and Juarez, the border port, are the only points of importance remaining in the hands of the Huerta government.
 B. E. Leonard, master mechanic of a mine at Parral, brought the news here of the capture of the town by insurgents. On a motor cycle he rode from Chihuahua City, meeting half a dozen insurecto bands, including that of Villa. All were mobilizing to cut off the fed eral retreat
 Also I met the federal column on the march," he said. There were l,2OO infantry and cavalry and f2 machine guns, but the insurgents have as many rapid firers, captured recently from a supply train. to- gether with many new rifles and much ammunition.
 ''There surely will be a fight be- fore the federals can reach the state capital. Parral was occupied by 600 insurgents. There are about 1000 of these in fine district"
