NO ONE KNEW ABOUT
JAMES PINK PAJAMAS
Other Matters of Intimate and
Private Nature Discussed
BY Spirit

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Spiritual
lists and those interested In psychical
research the world over, were thrilled
today TO read in the Journal Of The
American Society for Psychical Re.
search the report of its president. DR..
lanes II. Hyslop. on the year of ex-
periments he mas been making with y
remarkable boy medium, through
whom the spirit Of the late William
James. professor of philosophy at
Harvard, was alleged 10 have made
many efforts 10 communicate.
James, 1t will be remem-
bered, was one OF group of distin-
guished men, including DR.. Isaac
Funk, William T. Stead and DR.. Hy-
slop. who formed a mutual agreement
to test the truth OF spiritualism by
making every effort TO communicate
with the world, after their death. The
supposed efforts OF Stead's spirit 10
communicate were reported some
weeks ago in the accounts of the ex-
periences OF mis- daughter.
DR.. Hyslop's report includes some
remarkable manifestations. The sup
posed spirit OF James appeared to be
lAhS6lh6 against ACoA III Oboe1AN@(S
In making his communications, but
among the messages were some deal
ing with incidents OF much intimate
and private natuie between the two
old friends that DR.. Hyslop appears
certain the boy nGdium could not pos
sibly be acqu.Antcd with the facts.
Among other things were refer
snces TO pink paJamas," which
James bought at one time and joked
with Dr. Hyslop about. and TO their
mutual acquaintance with certain per-
sons totally unknown TO the medium
or any of his associates.
The boy is not a professional. but
the son of a minis ter and the searces
were all in the minister's house.
The spirit Of james" also warned
DR.. Hyslop against an evil spirit, q
"poltergeist" that was trying to do
him injury.
