BOY Is Usher mt seances.

The boy, less ethereal and moro robust
than his sister. does the ushering and
attends to the mechanical end of the
business Wednesday evenings in the
Delameter house. With vast enthusiasm
and rare intelligence. George answers
the door bell. sees that guests are seated
and. at a given signal, switches off the
electric lights.
To-day Dolly Delameter said that she
had been in communicati ton with the
spirit OF George Mott several timNs. but
that only once had she held conversa-
tion with him while others were pres
ent
N THAT was last Wednesday night"
she said Georges voice came 10 me.
II was indis;inct-somewha vague. The
atmosphere had not been prepared. But
while we had not prepared for his COM
ing TO US l saw him vaguely. dimly.
through a haze. / heard his voice and
in n little while understood what he was
saying. 1t came Unexpectedly. sud
denly.
over and over again he repeated Il.
I'm sorry; OH. I'm sorry, he kept
saying. 1t was all very clear to me. I
understand the meaning OF words-the
hidden meaning. There can be but one
interpre tation il means that Ethel
Mott cannot be guilty Of numbering her
husband or having anything TO do with

MAKES A GUESS ON WADE

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Feb. 19.-Dolly
Delameter, who has interpreted the
past and delved into the future for
more than half the women Of this
town. says that Mrs. Ethel Hutchins
Mott will not be convicted OF partici
pating in the murder of her husband.
George +. Mott She says that the
spirit of George Mott came TO her
while she was deep in her scheduled
trance last Wednesday night and re-
peated TIN sorry! I'm sorry!" so
often and with such compassion that
it left no doubt in the mind of Miss
Delameter that the murdered man
sought to vindicate his widow and
convey to mortal man that she had
no part in the affair for which Elwood
B. Wade already has been convicted
and sentenced to be hanged.
Dolly Delameter will take the witness
stand in Mrs. Nott's defence. she says.
Whittier such testimony as she longs to
offer is admissible or legally may be
offered before a jury has yet TO be
determined. But between now and the
time that Mrs. Mott goes on trial Dolly
Delameter says she will attempt to pro-
ject herself through the mists between
her subliminal self and the soul OF
George Mott and get his own story OF
his own murder.
Miss Deameter was one of Mrs.
Motifs dearest friends. Immediately
after the latter's arrest Miss Delameter
became guardian OF the accused wom-
ans chldren-Ruth. who is IL years
old. and George a year younger. Both
these youngsters live with their mothers s
friend now and take active part in the
seances Dolly Delameter conducts in
her home Wednesday nights. Ruth. who
has the deep. feverish eyes of her
mother and a rather unearthly pallor
susceptible to hectic flusIies, plays the
piano at the seances. assisting Miss
Delameter to fall TRANQUILITY into her
frances by softly tinkling Nearer. Ny
God, to Thee" and such old fashioned
hymns.

GREAT NORTHERN CUTS PAY
Employees of Texas Road Lose All of
Last Years increase.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Rates of pay for
virtually all classes of railroad en-
ployes on the New Orleans & Great
Northern Railway company were cut
today in a decision by the United
States railroad labor board to the
scale existing March 1, 1920.
The decision said the road was not
party to the case involving the re-
cent wage decrease of July l, last.
The wage cut announced today, going
further than the one of last july.
would take away the increase granted
railroad employees in May. 1920.
The dissenting members of the
board were A. c. Wharton and w. L.
McMenimen, labor members of the
board.
Wharton pointed out several in
stances where he asserted the pay of
experienced workmen' had been cut
below those of other classes of less
experience.
By the decision, train and service
employees were returned without quail
ficatiOn to the rates of pay in effect
March /, 1920. but rates for round
house laborers and shop craft en-
ployes were specified by the board
class by class. Station agents were
similarly rated.
The decision said that representatives
of the road, which is a short line in
Mississippi and Louisiana, testified to
an operating deficit of 100000 for
1920 and a further operating deficit
of $4,000 for the first half Of 1921.

terday. The definite date on which the city's new water supply will come into suse will mt be announced for probably 10 days yet.
 The pipe line from the Verde river to town 30 miles long, has been com pleted, and the intake system on the river is being finished rapidly. Mean while the 20 inch pipe line which connects the Verde line at Twelfth and McDoweIl streets, will be com- pleted to Seventh avenue and Roose- vetl street by tonight. It will be laid from that point on Roosevelt street to ninth avenue and south on Ninth avenue to Washington street, where it will conect with the 16 inch city mains.
 Water Into Intake
 Water was turned on at the in- take on the Verde for the first time yesterday, MT. Thompson being pres ent. By the first of the month the project will be practically completed and water formally turned on to sup ply the city it IS expected.
 The coming of the Verde water will mean a soft water supply for the city, veritable boon to housewives, and, for that matter, to all residents.

PROTESTS VALUATION
 PLACED ON PROPERTY

Hon. A. A. Johns of Prescott was before the tax corpmission yesterday to ask why a township owned by him in the northern part of Yavapai county should be assessed by the county assessor at almost twice as muck as the adjoining townships on all sides. His lands had been as- sessed at $1.75 an acre, while neigh boring lands were assessed at only S1.
 The only explanation of that dis crimination is that the iapd owned by MT. Johns was for a long time in the ownership of the Grand Canyon Lime and Cement company and at that time 1t was assessed at $1.75. That superior valuation was placed upon it presumably on account of deposits of limestone In which 1t abounded. Much of those deposits are still there. but they are of no use to MT. Johns, who is in the live stock business and he ayers, as one experienced ip such matters, that mules. cattle and sheep do not de- rive any sustenance to speak of from such forage as limestone.
 The commission will take the mat ter up with tflhe assessor of Yayapat county to determine why there are variations in assessments 1T the same region and of land of the same gen. eral characteristics.
