Calls Mediums Liars
Just the same, mediums, including
the ouija board variety, are fearful
liars sometimes. he said. He went on
to denounce falsehoods "a lie," ac-
cording to Mr.. Chaloner, "entails an
enormous amount of work, several hun
dred per cent more than the truth. A
lie requires the strenuous intellectual
effort OF invention and, after having
been laborlously invented, it must be
equally laboriously remembered until

New-York tribune., 1920-11-22

Rusty the Fox Squirrel liked the
Green Forest. He was delighted with
it. He was glad, ever so glad, he had
come there to make his home The
fact that his small cousin, Chatterer
the Red Squirrel, had tried to frighten
him away and failing in that had tried
to make things as unpleasant as pos
sible for him. didn't trouble him in
the least. He understood Chatterer
perfectly. He knew how easily Chat
terer lost his temper, and he knew,
too, how little Chatterer was to be
trusted. SO Rusty simply took no no
tice of the ugly things Chatterer said.
but at the same time he kept watch
full eye on Chatterer.
That relocated little scamp of a
cousin will steal every fat hickory nu+
of mine he can find, so I must take
care that he finds few" thought Rusty.
"Of course, he knows every hole in
every. eree and stump and old log about
here because he has lived here so long
and makes it his business to know all
about such places. can't possibly
find place for a storehouse that
Chatterer doesn't know of. so the thing
for me to do is to find a place he
isn't likely to think of. I've noticed
that the things people are least likelv
to think of are the things that are
right under their very noses. I know
1T has been that way with me many
times and ! guess Pm not much DIFF
terent from other folks. III lust look
for q place he knows so well he Won't
even think Of looking IN IT.
Now. just few feet away from the
big hickory tree was an old stump 1t
was so old that it was hollow. The
brown leaves falling from the trees
had partly filled that hollow. Rusty's
eyes twinkled when he saw this. The
very place'" he exclaimed to himself
IT won't enter Chatterer's head that |
wlll think of having a storehouse' so
close to the big hickory tree. He'll ex-
pect We to take those fat nuts some
Instance away and so he won't think TO
look here. III take few fat nuts of
IN different directions and bury then.
He'll think | am taking them TO
storehouse and will try to lind II
Mh'le ne IS busy doing that will fiji
this hollow" ''''
So, as you know, Rusty did take fat
hickory nuts out among the trees some
distance away in this direction. that
alrectlon and the other direction. Chat
terer did follow him, spying on him
from the thick top of hemlock tree

Chaioner Reads Message
IN Pulpit From Devil
Tells Astonished Christ Church Congregation His
oubconsciousness' Is Angel of Darkness:
= Discards Coat During Remarkable Lecture

John Armstrong Chaloner read 3
paper last night in Christ Church, at
Seventy-hrst Street and Broadway.
which he said that his "Subconscious-
ness" had written. guiding a pen held
passively by his willing fingers His
paper was about success here and
hereafter, and. at its conclusion, a
woman asked DR.. Chaloner to identity.
If possible, this agency dubbed Sub
consciousness
MIR. Chaloner grew enthusiastic, pro
duced another paper, and crying, Il
had prepared for that quoted his
"Subconsciousness' as calling itself
"An Angel of Darkness, one of the
Host of Satan
That's what you've been listening
to- Mr.. Chaloner shouted. He laughed
and pointed his finger at the audience
which had ben applauding the senti-
ments expressed by his "Subconscious
ness But as if to reassure his hear
ers, Mr.. Chaloner went on to read that
the devil was mot as black as painted.
not even dark brown. but a splendid
ldeallstlc creature who is employed by
Jehovah to try out souls, in order to
save Jehovah the time and trouble that
would be required did Jehovah do it
himself"
Calls Pastor as Witness
The Subconsciousness" referred Mr..
Chaloner to statement by the spirit
of Thomas Jefferson~ Miller, of the
Manhattan Club, who died fifteen years
ago, S proof that the Devil wishes to
be defeated, admires good people and
is the friend of the good and the ex-
ecutioner of the evil
Mr. Cbo1Opor l;,-,,,rr ,o,7 -,
Va, was introduced by the Rev. John
F Atkinson, the rector, as one of New
1ork's most clever and fascinating
gentlemen" and Mr.. Chaloner. who
was brought up in the old Christ
Church, at Fifth Avenue and Thirty
fifth Street, often referred his audi
ence to the present rector to prove his
truthfulness.
Il had little misunderstanding with
the courts of New York and it took me
twentythree years TO get straight" he
said, alluding to the fact that he es-
capped from Bloomingdale Asylum in
1900 and managed his affairs as a sane
man in Virginia, but was eXied from
New York until he was proved sane
last year He owns New York prop
erty estimated at Sl,500O00, and
among many things attracting atten-
ton he sent telegram reading "Who's
looney now?' to a brother who, while
opposing his sanity claim, married an
opera star and turned over to her his
property.
But last night Mr.. Chaloner forebore
to mention his material achievements,
such as the collection of a 100000
fund to assist artists and moving pic
lures on his farm, and revealed him
self as seeker for the soul of man.

Three Shots Fired
When the gunman judged that the
moment had come he fired three shots,

opposite side Of his boz
Detectives Trainor ana O'Connor and
Lieutenant Shehan were in the pool
room while the smoke still hung
heavy in the air and life still fingered
in Leung Yung. AS they flung open
the door, the smoke rushed out and
with 1T the American spirit of Leung
Yung
He was dead, and not one of the sud.
denly silent throng which stood star
ing at his body would tell the detec-
tives how he died.
"Shot, I guess" was the best answer
they could get.
They took the body of Leung Yung
and three or four of the tongue-tied
witnesses to the Elizabeth Street police
station. 1t was regarded as most sig
niticant that though tongs or societies
soon had smiling American-looking
representatives on hand to assure the
police that every witness was a most
honorable, truth telling man and had
seen nothing of the shooting, not a
tong or society claimed the body of
Leung Yung.
