DENIES MARK TWAIN
SPIRIT WROTE AB00
Mrs. Gabrilowitsch, Daughter
of Famous Humorist, Would,
Enjoin Publication

Mrs. Ossip Gabrilowitsch. daughter of|
the late Mark Twain, is seeking an In
junction against the publication OF
volume on modern science and phi
losophy about TO be issued by PrM
James IT, Hyslop through the Americas
Society for Psychical Research. &.
Mrs. Gabrllowitsch does not object
particularly to the book itself. but si1e
does object TO the announcement thNf
the spirit Of her celebrated father Will
address the world from that mysterioue
realm behind the grave through the
pages OF the book.
In the January issue of the Journal
of the Research Society, Professor
Hyslop says he and two women me-
dIums. Mrs. Hays. of St Louis. ana
a Mrs. Hutchings. have held frequent
Twain and have found the celebrates
humorist in II state of intellectual tor
ment because of the difficulty he is havl
ing in getting his momentous work into
print He Is now greatly relieved be-
cause he has found a means Of COM
munication with the world he was forced
to leave before he had time to put the
volume Unto writing. Professor Hyslop
says.
But Mrs. Gabrilowitsch. who before
her marriage TO the celebrated pianlst
was Miss Clara Clemens, Is not Inn
pressed. In an interview she unsympe-
thetiCally characterized Professor Hy-
slop's assertions as SILLY. foolish. stupid
and crazy" and announced that she had
asked her attorney. Charles T. Lark, OF
New York, to prevent the publication OF
the work through an injunction.

PENN SUMMER SCHOOL
TO CLOSE DURING 1918
Trustees Decide Prospective Attend
ance and Revenue Do Not
Warrant Opening

There is to be no session Of the SUM
mer School at the University of Penn
sylvania In 1918. This is the decision
reached by the trustees after pro-
longed examination OF the whole prob
lem.
Every effort was made by those who
believe in the Importance Of the work
dCne by the Summer School to insure
the continuance of that work this year.
Unfortunately. there was considerable
loss in attendance and in revenue In the
summer session of 1917. and further
loss seemed inevitable in 1918. Part OF
this was due to the fact that students
who were enrolled in other departments
and who normally would have patron
lied the Summer School were drawn
into farm work or some other form Of
national service.
Similar conditions will undoubtedly
prevail this year. and It Is therefore
hoped that the closing of the Summer
School will not seriously affect the plans
of many students now In attendance at
the University.
with a return to normal conditions a
revival OF the Summer School and an
enlargement of Its field OF usefulness
may be expected.

U. S. INVESTIGATES FIRE
ON FORMER GERMAN SHIP
Blaze Which Damaged Vessel and

Have Been Incendiary

United States secret service officers
are investigating the fire on the steam
ship Meuse. formerly German vessel,

ment, at the foot of Cambria street In
the Delaware River. which caused dam
age amounting approximately to $4,000
and resulted in Hartman Bradley an
American seaman aboard the vessel, be-
Ing badly burned.
The Meuse had recently returned from
Italy in ballast. after taking over a
cargo of iron ore, and was ready to he
reloaded when the fire broke out. Some
members of the crew had been dis
charged as alien enemies and suspicious
circumstances about the fire have led
to the suspicion that It was OF incen-
diary origin. The names were. extin-
guished by the Philadelphia and Reading
fireboats Cheltenham and Ogontz. which
were in tho vicinity when the fire was

The recent destruction OF the Brooks

Members OF the board discussed the
matter with an EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER
reporter. but apparently only partly,
temporarily and rather indefinitely
solved the problem. This was by con-
sidering tentative offer of Arno p
Mawit. civilian director OF the Home

schools an indefinite length of time In
those neighborhoods where the guard IS

rector Wilson, OF the Department OF

it could not he ascertained what this
plan was. Marshal Murphy did say:
at has long been a source of worry
to this bureau that the big public
schools are not protected by n semblance
of guard at night, and we have re-
peatedlv called the attention Of the
Board of Education TO the delinquency.
