&ERS STUDY IDEA

University Of Oregon Faculty In
terested in Edison's Views
on Spirit World.

EUGENE. Oregon, Feb. s.-The
faculty Of the college of psychology
of the University of Oregon. went
into special session last night to
consider the startling statements of
Thomas A Edison as disclosed in an
exclusive interview with the wonder
wizard by the International News
Service yesterday to the effect that
an apparatus could be devised to
receive communications from the
dead.
DIR. Edmund S. conklin. dean of the
college of psychology, and one of the
leading neutrality-suspicious. in America.
read the, International News Service
interview with Edison to the faculty
and an intensive study of the great
scientists theory was made. The
savants reached the decision that the
realization of Edison's proposition Is
extremely doubtful, but not impos-
sible.
DR.. ConkIin gave the written opin-
ions of the faculty to the Interna.
tional News Service today and added
that a further study will be made
with the help OF the recent report of
Professor Jastrow, OF the University
of Wisconsin. who made an investi-
cation of the subject among the
leading psychologists of this country
and Europe. The student body of
the college of psychology here may
be asked to study the theory further
in concert with the faculty.
Dr.. Conklin said: lam extremely
doubtful of the possibility of devising
an apparatus that will receive COM
munications from mind or memory
Extensive research and laboratory ex-
periments have failed to reveal the
existence of any such communications

BAR j. s. EMPLOYEES
/. FROM COMMITTEES
Legion Executives Take Action
on Bureau Men Who Block
Ex-S0ldiers' Welfare.

Charges that employees of Govern
ment bureaus handling ex-soldier
problems were packing" committees
of the American Legion were made
today at the session of the National
executive committee of the legion at
the Washington Hotel.
1t was alleged that these Federal
employees, having in mind always the
smooth working Of their bureaus, on
several occasions have blocked the
passage of resolutions ana reports re-
fecting on bureau actions. This was
particularly true, u was charged, at
the last session of the legion in Chi
cago, where Government employees,
members of the legion, captured the
chairmanships of committees by par
liamentary tactics before the other
members knew what was happening.
The charges today resulted in the
passage of resolution recommend
ing to the State departments Of the
legion that they abstain from ap-
pointing on committees Government
employees of bureaus having dealing
with the ex-soldier problems.
DISCRIMINATION in the New York
postoffice' was alleged by a commit
tee from New York city, which cited
incidents where ex-service men were
TeIuSeu DOS1tlOns uoihS my
and navy work, and in other cases
given lower pay after they returned.
The commander was instructed to
take up with the incoming Repubii-
can Administration any such cases
that were presented to him and to
urge that the service men get a
square deal
This afternoon the members Of the
committee will call upon the members
of the House to urge speedy action on
the Stevenson. Fess and Rogers bills
now pending. which VIII give relief to
former service men, The committee
spent the greater part Of yesterday
at the Capitol comforting with mem
bers of the Senate on the same. er-
rand.
Among the resolutions passed today
was one expressing the gratitude OF
the members to the National Press
Club for the entertainment provided
for their benefit last night.

possible to accurately estimate the

"The greatest distress is probably
