MAN'SSP|R|T A Thief
Professor James Declared to
Have Robbed a Guest.
Psychical Research Leader Tells OF
Weird Conference With Departed
Thinker-soy Medium Is Cut
by Razor Blade.

New York-William James. who was
professor of philosophy at Harvard
when he died. August &c, 1910, and
who. before his death, promised his
friend, DR.. James H. Hyslop of the
American Society for Psychical Re
search, that he would strive to send
such messages from the spirit world
as would demonstrate indubitably the
truth Of spiritualism. has been try
ing once more, according to DR.. Hy-
slop. to communicate with Hyslop
and others.
Prof. James has been ccmmunicat-
ing lately through the medium Of a
ffteen-year-old boy. who. as DR.. Hy-
slop says. is the son Of a clergyman
known on both sides of the Atlantic,
and who is apparently normal In
every other way. except for the psy-
chical control under which he falls
when the light is tarned Of
DIR. Hyslop began his experiments
with the boy on November 20. 1911.
There was violent table tipping and
deviation, in which the table rose two
feet from the floor. Then an attempt
was made for the translation of OBJ
jects;" that is, to see whether the
spirits would move objects from one
room to another.
Doors were closed again and the
lights turned out" DR.. Hyslop re-
ported. I'm few moments something
fell, sounding like two objects. Up
went the lights. and within two feet
OF each other were two pairs of scis-
sors which belonged in another room.
The next were a nail cleaner and
the boys knife, both from the room
upstairs. Then drinking cup
struck the boy on the head, and SEEM
ed to have hurt him.
In the next experiment the boy
suddenly exclaimed that he was cut.
The light was turned up and his right
thumb was bleeding at the root of
the nail, and the chair on which he
was sitting was found to have a neat
slit in the leather covering"
Presently razor blades were thrown
into the room, the electric light bulbs
were smashed with a violently thrown
stone and a book was hurled against
the boys head. AT a similar seance
later a man with Dr. Hyslop COM
planned that his pocket had been

NO effort is made here to prose-
cute the men who ship cattle here

chan said. THAT is done in the state
from where the cattle are shipped.
One of the greatest troubles we
have is with cattle that are shipped
out Of Texas in the spring to be pas
tured in Oklahoma and Kansas At
that time they have shaggy coats that
often hide the brands. and, no matter
how careful buyers are. they often
get a steer with the wrong brand. By
the time the animal has been fed
for the market he has shed his long
coat and often there is the wrong
brand to stare the buyer In the face.
He is the loser.

the native division here, was born

GABY DESLYS GEMS STOLEN
Robbers Enter Wardrobe Car on
Train and Break Open Ten
Trunks With Axes.

New York.-The wardrobe car OF
Gaby Deslys. which reached this city
from Albany over the New York Cen
trail, was found this afternoon to have
been broken open and ten trunks
rifled.
Miss Deslys figured that she had
been robbed of jewels valued at
$4,000. but the railroad officials,
while admitting that the trunks had
been smashed and the contents toss
ed about. were non-committal as to
the value Of gems stolen.
Jewels were three strings of pearls. a

several rings and other gems. This
would be her loss, she declared. pro-
vided all her jewels were stolen. The
pearls include some given her by ex-
King Manuel Of Portugal. The ia
nous ring he gave her is still in her
possession.
Railroad detectives and the police
are working on the case. They
found that the thieves had used an
axe and after prying open the locks
or breaking in the backs of the
trunks had distributed the contents
all over the car.
On the floor of the car was found
one loose pearl of large size and a
pearl ring. Both these jewels were
claimed by Miss Deslys.
