"Noisy Ghost" Mystife.
London Psychic Experts

LONDON, March 1s.-The wave Of
interest in spiritualism and all things
psychic continues to sweep England.
One of the latest developments is the
appearance of poltergeist, or noisy
ghost, at the London suburb of Horn
scy.
The poltergeist appeared to be
dominated by small boy. When this
boy was present in the rooms of q
Hornsey house coal, books and other,
moveablcs in the room flew about. The
poltergeist created great excitement,
and many experts visited Hornsey to
attempt to solve the mystery. They
were, however, unsuccessful and the
noisy ghost has disappeared.
The Delphic Club in the West End
is an organization recently formed for
psychic research, and many other or
carnations have as their object com
munication with the other world. A
number of society women, several of
whom are titled, meet weekly in
Kniehtsbridge to hold seances, where
the governing spirit is an ordinary
walking stick which seems to have
supernatural powers. A question is
asked OF the medium and the walking
stick points to an object in the room.
The nature of the object gives the clew
TO the answer desired by the ques
tioner.

ments. Leaders from all over the
country, anxious to get their oar in on
patronage decisions, are able to see the
President. In word, the difference
between the two administrations in
this respect is the difference between
accessibility and inaccessibliity.
There are observers here who do
not believe that President Harding will
be able to maintain his present policy
of seeing such q large number of
persons. While naturally the pressure
to see the President is at its height
now, so little of the patronage having
been parceled out to deserving Repub-
licans," it is only question of degree.
There always will be more persons
wanting to talk to the President than
he possibly can find time to hear.
Therefore, some believe Mr.. Harding
may be forced little later to draw the
bars tighter. However, no one thinks
he will ever reach. the stage Of isolation
which President Wilson maintained
even prior to his illness and prior to
the war.
Chairmen of important committees,
even during Mr.. Wilson's first admin
istration, were often told when they
sought interviews with him to put what
they had to say in writing and mail it

r ONDON, March 19.--Many people
in England look to emigration
- as a solution of postwar prob
lens. and since the armistice the gov
ernment has encouraged this by grant
ing free passage to settlers and their
families going to the colonies. This
grant of free passage has just been
extended for another year.
The colonies, in turn, are most anx-
ious to get the right kind of settlers,
and Canada, South Africa, Australia
and New Zealand all have government
offices in London which advertise the
respective charms of their lands in the
daily papers here. Many of the "new
poor" = formerly prosperous families
who now find it djfacult to live in the
present era Of high prices and high
taxation-are emigrating to distant
colonies and beginning life again.
During last year applications for
free passages under the government
scheme numbered 64,043, and covered
about 10000 persons, including de-
pendents. The expenditure for free
passages during 1920 was almost
S2,500.D00. and this year it will be much
heavier, according to the applications
already filed.

formal interview. At the close of the
business discussion with regard to
General Woods inspection trip to the
Philippines Mr. Harding urged him to
drop back later and join his box party
for the "Hobby Show" of the National
Press Club. The huge audience gath
cred for that entertainment saw in the
Presidential box in friendly social con-
tact the President, against whom Gen
eral Wood battled in vain for the nomi-
nation; Secretary Of War John w
Weeks, who had been given the Cabinet
post for which General Woods friends
had doomed him, and Vice-President
Coolidge. Mrs. Harding and Mrs. Cool
idge were present, enhancing the effect
of the social friendliness Of the gath
ering.
On General Woods next visit to
Washington the President had him to
dinner with Secretary Weeks-not a
large formal dinner, just an informal
family affair, after all the business
had been settled in the afternoon.
All of this is not cited to demon
strate any great ability on the part
of Mr.. Harding or any lack of ability
on the part of Mr.. Wilson. No OBJ
server noting this contrast has made
any reflection on Mr.. Wilson's intel
lectual powers. But it does demon
strate deep appreciation on the part
of Mr.. Harding Of the value of the
human equation in working out any
problem under a republican form OF
government.
Harding's Airedale Ends
Petless Era at White House
Regarding the social life at the
White House, it is recalled that in
the days of the first Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson there were a number of
musicales, although since her death
there practically had been nothing of
the kind. There have been showings

tered the Executive Mansion.
Any story of changes at the White
House would be incomplete without a
reference to Laddie Boy, the Presi-
dents Airedale. A bulldog also is
coming, it is said, and there are
rumors of an alligator which some ad-
mirer promised while the President
was in Florida just before inaugura-
tion. This follows petless era at
the White House.

WASHINGTON. March 22, i

WASHINGTON, March 20, 1921.
VXIHEN Warren G. Harding's friends
w began to boom him for Prcsi-
dent nearly two years ago one of their
pet phrases was that he twas McKin-
ley type" They meant by that that
after no got in the White House he
would consult with his old friends on
Capitol Hill, and that he would not for
get the human equation in getting leg
islation through Congress and in the
other problems which confront a
President.
This claim by Mr.. Harding's friends
always was effective. It was the more
appealing because President Wilson
worked on the theory that the best So
luton Of any problem could be worked
out by him alone in his study, with
such written memoranda as he might
direct to have submitted to him. This
method Of settling questions never ap-
pealed strongly to Congressional lead
ers, or even to members of the Presi-
dents Cabinet.
Perhaps the throwing open of the
White House grounds to the public
within three hours after Mr.. Harding
had taken the oath of Office is the best
outward and visible symbol of the
sharp change which occurred at noon
on March in the relations between
the occupant Of the White House and
those outside its portals
This opening of the grounds has
proved popular, certainly with sight
seers- They can troop in ct the Ex-
scutive Offices gate and walk right by
the door of the White House, peeping
in as they pass, both at the Executive
Offices, where the routine OF the Presi-
dent Is carried out and where he sees
most Of his visitors, ana into the White
House itself; or they can jitney through
the White House grounds free even
from imperative orders to "move on"
Thousands literally take advantage of
this privilege-which had come in the
old days to be regarded almost as a
right-every day. Ten thousand, it is
estimated, walked through within three
hours after the gates were opened
March 4.
Informal Dinner Parties
Frequent at White House
But while this is the most spectacu-
lar phase of the change, it is not any
thing nearly as important as other
changes which are not so easily OBJ
served The President and Mrs. Har-
dag delight in small dinner parties,
the sort that lead to informal discus
sions of whatever questions are of in
terest at the moment.
In the brief time since Mr.. Harding
entered the White House there have
been at least dozen such affairs, be-
sides the sprinkling Of formal dinners.
The other night, for instance, Senator
and Mrs. Harry s. New dropped over to

to him. AS an instance of how far to
the extreme Mr.. Harding goes, Mr..
Fordney, of the House Ways and
Means Committee, wanted an idea from
the President last Monday and had
little time to spare. So he called the
President on the telephone and settled
the point.
President Shows Appreciation
OF Value of Human Equation
Another interesting contrast in the
relations between the White House and
the rest of the country is the way Mr.
Harding has dealt with men who we're
his rivals for the nomination. There
has been keen interest, for instance, in
the attitude of Mr.. Harding and Gen
eral Wood. 1t might be said, of course,
That some public manifestation of re-
spect or admiration for General Wood
would be good politics on the part Of
Mr.. Harding, the primary results hav-
ing demonstrated that General Wood
probably had the largest popular fol-
lowing of all the candidates for. the
Republican nomination. But these things
also could be called good politics.,

Marine Band Concerts
To Be Resumed on Lawn
Mrs. Harding, it is known, has beer
most interested in the revival Of this
old custom, and she is expected to be
out among the children WITH the Presi.

The children of Washington, needless
to say, are prasss,s that it will not

forms the southern boundary of the
White House grounds. When Mr.. Viii
son came into the White House this
was changed and the Saturday Marine
