Slayer of Girl Named
BY Spirit, Says Circle

OMAHA, Neb.-Omaha spiritual
lists, through psychic communication,
are attempting to solve the most
mysterious murder with which the
Omaha police ever have struggled. A
group Of persons, headed by Thomas
Magarrell, secretary Of the Interna-
tional Spiritualist Union, claim to
have secured the name Of the muir
derer from the spirit Of the MUIR
dered girl.
Three months ago the body of q
girl was found beside an automobile
road near Omaha. Although thou
sands viewed the body, it was never
identified, and no trace of the muir
derer was discovered. Police believe
the body was thrown from a passing
automobile.
Last night six prominent spirit
ualists held circle in a room in
which the girls body had been kept
for a week while efforts to identify
it were being made. According to
Mrs. Mary Munson, one of the six,
she got into communication with the
spirit Of the dead girl and announced
the name Of the murderer and the
fact that he Is now in Tampico, Mex
leo. The name Of the man was not
made public.
There was an agreement by at
least three of the circle that there
were three men and one woman in
the. party that killed the GIRL" said
DR.. Magarrell after the seance. "a
car could be seen leaving Omaha and
going north. Returning, one of the
women was missing"

Memory Gone Because Of Turkish Horrors,
Armenian Girl Pathetically Awaits Her People

For most Of the other girls the old
life was gone as completely as if it
had never been. Their homes were
destroyed, their relatives killed, moth
ing remained to them but memories.
Andzanot had not even these. Her
only memory was the black horror
of those years of deportation.
One thing only seemed to be a
link with her former life. That
was an old white dress, badly worn,
which she had brought with her,
not the garment she had worn in
the harem, but perhaps the one she
had been wearing at her home when
former life that old white dress was
the one thing she remembered.
Sometimes when she looked at it
faint echoes Of the forgotten past
seemed to come to her, and her eyes
would light up aus she mentioned
some irrelevant detail Of former
days.
AT the orphangae she wears a neat
blue and white bingham, like the
other girls. But she always puts
on the old white dress before she
creeps away to the Damascus gate
to gaze at the crowds with troubled
eyes. 1t is her hope that perhaps
some members of her family or some
of her former neighbors returning
from deportation may see her there,
and that she will be no longer I'M
known.
A patient little figure Of sorrow,
she stands there waiting. when
they come they will know me by
my dress, even If they do not look
at my face" she says.

During several hours Of each day,
week in and week out, no matter
what the weather, young Armenian
girl in an old worn Jacket stands at
the gate of Damascus and searches
the faces of the passersby with sor-
rowful, bewildered eyes. She never
speaks and seldom moves as she
keeps her daily vigil. If some one
pauses to speak to her hope lindles
for a moment in her eyes and dies
away again when she finds that it
is only a casual meeting. WEAKNESS
Is stamped on her face as night ap-
proaches, but she is never too tired
to remain until twilight at the Da-
mascus gate. She has become IA
miliar figure Of tragedy in that an
ctent city Of tragedy, where many
have come to know her story, says
lette received at the headquarters
of Near East Relief, New York City
The townspeople call her "And.
zanot," which is Armenian for "un-
known" as do also the other girls
at the Near East Relief orphanage
where she lives. What her other
name is no one knows, not even she
herself.
The shock OF her deportation and
OF the terrible experiences that fol
lowed 1t in a Turkish harem have
caused her to lose her memory. She
was brought to the Near East Relief
orphanage with scores of other girls
released from captivity. victim OF
aphasia. She spoke the Armenian
tongue, but she could not tell her
name, or where her home had been,
or whether her parents were living.

SHEPARD & GLUcK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS Feb. 12.-The cotton
market held steady today as the result of
the extremely buIlish showing of Liver
pool, where spots were up 70 English points,
and an unfavorable weather map. Too much
rain again was reported in the belt, with
cold weather following the rains. The
market acts very healthy in spite Of the
unfavorable foreign financial situation and
the labor complica tions in this country.
JOHN F. CLARK & co. COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 12.-The chancellor
of the excheQuer says England will be will
ing to participate in an international ffnan-
ciai conference If invited, but the govern
ment wants to make it perfectly clear that
it could not support any move involving an
addition to the liabilities of Great Britain
for expenditures in America, nor could the
government grant further advances to other
countries.
The market opened 20 to 80 points up on
the showing by Liverpool and some buying
on the rainy weather map. Some straddle
buying at the greatly widened difference
with Liverpool and on the outlook for bullish
comparison of mill takings tomorrow and
the census report on Saturday were instru-
mental in causing scalpers' rallies. The mar
ket was very dell. Spots are reported quiet,
with some scattered staple inquiry for home

crooked mediums he never had met
one.
1.-THE next world is a phase" he
continued. "It may not be differ
ent world from this. We encounter
another aspect of one world, an as
pect that does not make any appeal
to our present sense, and hence an
aspect which we may thoughtlessly
imagine to be nonexistent.
Our senses are no criterions of
existence. They were evolved from
earthly reasons, not for purposes OF
philosophy, and If we refuse to go
beyond the direct evidence OF our
senses we shall narrow our outlook
on the universe to a hopeless and al
most imbecile extent"
Sir Oliver advised persons Of weak
minds to keep away from the ouija
board. He said he did not condemn
it as an instrument, but believed
that, unless person possessed a
strong force of mind, there was dan
ger that constant application on the
board might affect his mentality.

PLANS
TO RECOVER OIL
LANDS IN MEXICO

MEXICO CITY.--President Carran-
za's administration intends to recov-
er to the nation great tracts of lands
conceded by previous administrations
to foreign interests, according to
statements Of Mexican officials. 1t
intends also to enforce the constitu-
tional prohibition barring foreigners
from holding land within 81 miles of
the Mexican frontier and 81 miles
from the coastline.
The general trend OF their state
ments is to the effect that 1t is the
purpose of the administration to
avoid colonization projects that
might eventually endanger the nation
and to recover oil lands without VIC
lating the legal rights of the pres
ent producers.
These statements were made in
explanation of the governments re-
quest that the 1919 congress float a
loan of 100000 pesos to enable the
nation to recover land held under
concessions by foreign interests.
The officials stated that the great
er part Of several states, such as
1OWST OdIllCEIlId d1u CIlldpdS, is n0lU
by foreigners under concessions CIV
en- by previous administrations.
Where the terms of these conces-
sions have not been complied with,
they have been nullified, according
to the department of agriculture.
Part Of the proposed loan was intend
| ed to indemnify holders for these
| concessions for improvements they
| had made.
| Interests who have been deprived
| of their concessions by this nullifi-
| cation have declared that interior
| conditions for the last ten years have
made it impossible for them to full
fill their agreements. Various Brit
| tsh representatives are said to be
pushing for decentralization for work
done on concessions especially in
Lower California and Chiapas.
Denial is made by Pastor Rouaix
secretary of agriculture and develop.
ment, that the government plans tc
,nullify all concessions granted un.
| der the Diaz and Madero regimes
Only those where prescribed obliga.
lions have not been met will be an.
| nulled, he asserts.

Jazz Music viii Make Hens
Lay, SAYS Indiana Man

LOUISVILLE.-W1t Christmas
came a photograph to the home of
Frank Habig, chicken raiser, near
Columbus, Ind. Two days later he
found 115 eggs in his hen house,
which housed 122 hens, and where
at no time during the year had he
ever gathered more than sixty-ftve
eggs a day. The following day there
were 105 eggs.
From the residence came the
strains Of the latest jazz. FIabig
saw every hen Immediately seem to
take an active interest in life, and
move about the hen house. Thus,
he believes, he has discovered the
secret of making hens lay. "Jazz
music makes them move around and
get the exercise they need to lay"
Habig explains. Since the phono-
graph arrived not a day has passed
but has brought at least 100 eggs.
