Intelligence Then Is Not Same as that
of Mortals. Declares Theo-
sophical Lecturer.

The question as to whether or not there
is reliable evidence that the human be-
ing lives after bodily death was answered
in the affirmative last night by L. W.
Rogers. OF Los Angeles. national lecturer
for the Theosophical Society, who spoke
at Theosophical Hall, 1916 H street north
west
Mr.. Rogers said that the scientific in
vestigators have established three vital
points in spychic research: first, that
there is such a thing as psychic research;
second. that such force is directed by in
telligence; and third, that the intelligence
is not that of people living in the physi-
cal world
The lecturer cited a number of instances
OF purported communications with cele-
brated people who have passed from ply
steal life. which he argued admitted of no
other explanation than that there Is
continuity of consciousness after death
Cross-correspondence and other scienti-
fc methods of getting at the difficult

FORTY-NINE SALOONISTS
SCURRY FOR LICENSES
Secure Documents and No Arrests
Are Made as Result of Failure to
Get Them Saturday.

The forty-nine slaoonkeepers, who in
their glee at having escaped the pruning
knife of the Excise Board, forgot to cali
at the District Building on Saturday to
secure their licenses, scurried into the
license clerks office yesterday morning
to get the documents.
Although a strict Interpretation OF the
law would have rendered the saloon
keepers liable to arrest. the police took
no action, because when the licensees
were Informed of their mistake they
lost no time in securing the licenses.
1t was explained by an official at the
District Building that even during the
few hours that elapsed while the saloon
men went to the District Building and
returned. they had the receipt for their
license fee, which had been accepted by
the District.
Miscellaneous licenses also were issued
yesterday, which include undertaking es-
cigar stores, pool rooms,
and a score of other business houses.
The District collects in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 annually for miscella-
