after his death he would report the
| message from the spirit land. When
the envelope was opened and was
found to contain the same message as
was sent by the dead professor it
would forever establish the proof of
the spfritualists' claims.
HereWard Darlington, a spiritualist
of this city, said last night that he
had heard this story and had talked
it over with Prof. HysIop. Both Prof.
Hyslop and ME. Darlington agreed
that they had never found any of
Prof. James friends or relatives who
had heard of such a message and they
did not believe that there was any
truth in the story
Then came the warning about tho
poltergeist:
1.-The left of that find another pic
ture taken at night by a fashIight, a
clever idea of mine, when it is flashed
table of mine. The picture is of one
who calls himself the nameless one,
horrible. Don't look at it too long,
but only in short spells. You will
see why it is horrible. Is it too fast ?"
mo-" replied Hyslop.
"Ready? The earthly person s
writing caused me all the trouble. It
saps my forces, keeps me away from
objects. Publish that paper, but
don't give the answer. Cross it out"
Then came the most curious part of
the whole performance. Prof. James,
having promised the boys family to
protect them against the poltergeist,
informed the medium where danger
Gus objects were hidden in the house.
A search was made and broken ink
bottle, numerous razors, about 100
matches placed on top of a closet
door, SO that there was danger of
their lighting, and other objects were
found.
The boy medium conveyed at the
same time other mensages from Prof.
James. One was:
Dear Hyslop Write a paper
against woman suffrage, Tt is my
desire that you do this your w. w. S.
and B. w.
bill JAMES,
"P. S.-Don't let your wife see it,
In January, 1912 Prof. James, Hys-
1op says in his report, was again vex-
ed by the difficulties of communica-
ton. The spirit burst out with:
you poor chump, You would be a
part uninteIligible by his appearance.
Do not try to seem outwardly cool.
but say what you mean, Hyslop!'
Throughout the various seances the
spirit of Prof. James caused the boy
to write or express a secret sign, the
Greek letter Omega, that had been
arranged between James and Hyslop,
and the spirit made other illusions
which, says DR.. Hyslop, could not pos
sibIy have been made to the boy me-
dunn.

has two pairs of pajamas and one
black tie and no best Clothes In the
record of the crystal gazing in which
he saw visions of all sorts, I was
again mentioned, and the message
took the form of an interloeution re-
ferring to me apparently.
Some puns were committed and
then the message They laugh. It
is dark And then the second spirit
said. No, wrong. Give him two pairs
of pink pajamas,' The first spirit then
remarked The pink of perfection.
What shall I give him for Christmas? p
The second replied. Morning (mourn-
ing) black tie. when the first replied

tinues in attempting to explain this
leEity on the part of the spirits. ga
reference was made through Mrs
Chenoweth to Prof. James, while he
was in England with his lectures, and
about the same time DR., Hodgson
purported to communicate through
Miss Gaule (Mrs. Rathbun) and said:
Tell James he looks cute in pink pa
jamas.'

time I received letter that he was
wearing pink pajamas at that time. I

On December 10, 1911. Prof. James
communicated. says DR.. Hyslop,
through the boy medium. who was
gazing into a crystal. 1t was then
that he warned DR.. Hyslop against
the poltergeist or wicked spirit. Part
of the dialogue between Prof. James
and Hys1op as carried on through the
entrapcedN boy was follows:
Here is Prof. James. Good even

head. 1t is dark.
At this point DR.. Hyslop asked Prof.
James to give a distinct proof of his
identity. James replied:
st took you to paradise and you
(pause). Hang it all. I took you to
lots. Of places. I took you once into
my study and we agreed on a sign,
You remember?''
Hyslop didn't remember, and the
spirit of James apparently Vexed,
called exeitedly. 'Hyslop, Hyslop!
Your undivided attention, undivided.
Hands off the tablet" The spirit con-
tnued rapidly:
Better summon friends to make an
agreement and not follow my exam
pie locking up my paper on which all
hangs. Now that I am dead I can
not describe the paper on top you

Fairfax, with two swords crossed
above a. helmet, and an arm holding
another like my sign, picture to the
left, myself, wife to right, mother in
the middle. Ready"
At the time of the death of Prof.
James there was a story current to
the effect that he had left with some
member of his family or some friend
a sealed message. The report went
that Prof. James told the one with
whom he had left this message that

POLICE ORDINANCE

Mayor Wilson Uses Gavel VigOr-

The police ordinance proposed by the
Republican administration became law
last evening when the Common Coun-
ell voted its adoption, IT to Z. The
ordinance vote was the big thing of
the meeting and developed a little ora
tory before its passage. With unan-
inimity. the Aldermen had passed
proposed ordinances in regard to the
moving of buildings through city
streets; regarding requirements for
the acceptance of new streets; in
creasing the salaries of city auditor
and assistants and the city treasurer:

the city clerk and ordering a. new

enough Alderman Cederholm's was
the only vote in opposition to the or

When the desk was cleared of other
business, the city clerk read IAN or

William James, who was professor
of Philosophy at Harvard when he
died on August 26, 1910 and who be-
fore his death promised his friend
Pr; James d +, Hyslop p Of the
Research that he would strive
to send such messages from the
spirit world as would demonstrate in
dubitably the truth of spiritualism,
has been trying once. more, according
to DR.. HysIop. to communicate with
Hyslop and others.
This time the spirit of DR.. James
warns his friend Hyslop of an evil
spirit or influence. a 'poltergeist,
which cunningly leaves razor blades
and matches in places where they
shade which turks in the dark and
hurls inkstands and heavy stones at
the heads of true believers. The spirit
of Prof. James is exercised over the
wickedness of the poltergeist and
struggles incoherently to warn DR..
Hys1op. Coincidentally the spirit
jests about the pink pajamas Prof.
of a Sunday suit.
Prof. James has been communicate
ing lately through the medium of a
ffteen-year-o1d boy, who as DR.. Hy-
s1op says, is the son of clergyman
known on both sides of the Atlantic,
cry way except for the psychioaI con-
troll under which he falls when the
light Is turned out.
Through this curious boy Prof.
James in the last year has sent many
messag es, DR.. HysIop writes in the

Gated previously through the mediums

DR.. Hyslop began his experiments
with the boy on November 20, 1911.
He called at the home of the boys
father. whom he calls 1.-The Rev. DIR.

been endeavoring to speak through
DR.. ks son. The next day the ex-
periments were resumed and there
were some rather remarkable and
alarming doings.

room to another.
doors were closed again and the
lights turned OUT DR.. HysIop re-
ported. I'm a few moments some
thing fell, sounding like two objects.
Up went the lights and witnin a few
feet of each other were two pairs Of
scissors which belonged ir another
room. The next were a nail cleaner
and the boys knife, both from the
room upstairs.
"Then a drinking cup struck tile
boy on the head and seemed to have
hurt him. Next a skate key from
upstairs. Then a dozen marbles
from rooms two fights up. a pipe
stem was thrown across the room
from table in the corner. Then
a fountain pen from the library ta-
bic where we were.
"a piece of cocoa cake was found
under where sat and came from the
box on the library table on which I
had rested my paper in making notes
of the occurrences. Two more skate
separate experiments. Then came a
paper cutter which could not be
found in the afternoon and which DR..
x wished to remove fearing it might
be used to the injury of some one.
I'm 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

A few nights later, unidentified
spirits had control of the boy medi-
ums hands and feet. DIR. Hyslop says
he pinched the boys ankle and that
the boy was unaware of the pinch,
but that a spirit, using the boys hand,
wrote, ''You art too FAMILIAR By au-
tomato writing the spirit was asked
what further demonstration he or she
would give that night. The reply
of the spirit was a 1aconic. Good

At about that time, during a crys-
