Calder Coal Bill Up

Provisions to Which Operators

Re Modif,nd

From Ths Tritunc's Wnshtnrton Bureau
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3o.--The Calder
coal bill. with notifications, is ex-
pected to be reported to the Senate
this week from the Senate Committee
on Manufactures. Of which Senator La
Toilette is chairman. In spite of efforts
Of the coal operators and dealers to
prolong the hearings, the majority OF
the members Of the committee are nrlx-
ious to cut matters short and report
the bill into the Senate. Otherwise,
there will be no chance Of passage in
the Senate at this session.
Indications are the bill will be made
less drastic, that the tax on brokers'
sales will be moderated and some OF
the other provisions to which the coal
men have strenuously objected will be
toned down.
It is not expected that the bill can
be passed by both houses and enacted
this session. 1t will be looked on by
it's advocates as long step ahead IL 1T
is put through the Senate. They pur-
pose to bring it up in the new Con- C,

Chaloner Talks With The Dead;
Hearers Ask Word From Hylan
Spirits Agree So Fast With All Virginian Says About
Laws and Lunacy Lawyers That His
Pencil Can't Keep Up

John Armstrong Chaloner set his
subliminal self to work At the Cort
Theater yesterday afternoon. It was
IA strenuous self. His basic idea in
hiring the theater was to lecture on
"The National Need of Lunacy Law Re-
form" When the thread Of his dis
course ran thin, however, he gave some
samples Of the automatic writing which
first became habit with him when he
was confined in Bloomingdale ASYLUM.
He invited his audience to conjure
up his subliminal self and ask for mes
sages from the dead. They did. When
. name was called from the audience
he took up his pencil and without the
lapse of moment wrote at furious
pace. scribbling with nervous jerking
movements. He did not even pause for
breath, but rambled on in monotone
and the burden Of all the communica-
tions was entire approval on the other
side of the veil of everything that John
Armstrong Chaloner said in his mono
logue about himself.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox was the first
spirit who was supposed to commune
cate.
Heaven q Fairyland"
"Heaven is fairyland beyond the
dreams Of man." quoted Mr.. Chaloner.
The pencil futtered in his clutch, but
it could not keep up, apparently, with
the rush of words that surged from his
lips. "It. is the heaven Of the. scrip
lures. 1t is founded on the Old and
New Testaments,"
Then Mrs. Wilcox made her exit
There were calls from the audience for
messages from William T. Stead, Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Jacob Schiff, Lord
kitchener, Bishop Burch, ex-Mayor
Mitchel-yes, and even Mayor Hylan.
why, don't you know, he's not dead.
He is very much alive" retorted Mr..
Chaloner at this juncture.
The spirits were all inclined to be
uncommunicative. Nor did they run true
to form. One of them dubbed over
with the information that sense of
humor existed on the other side Of the
veil. Kitchener had nothing much to
say. Jacob Schiff promised a good time
for the Jews when they died. The
Lord did not have any preference be-
tween Jew and Gentle, scribbled the
pencil of the lecturer. Seemingly they
were all more interested in the mono
togue that Mr.. Chaloner had just COM
pleted about himself than in anything
else. And there was deluge Of hearty
agreement with his theories about tie
'unacy law, although it was difficult for
the fieshly auditors to determine just
what those might be.
Assails Lunacy Laws
Mr.. Chaloner's lecture, purporting to
deai with the lunacy law, was largely
an indictment of the forces which he
thinks have worked against him in the
last twenty-five ears--medicine. law,
the Church and journalism. In addi-
ton, he gave an exhaustive survey of
his literary development, declaring that

Bedtime Stories
Peter Tries Back Door
BY Ihornton w. Burgess
If you find the front door locked,
TRY the back door suithout shame.
Both lead to the selfsame thing;
AH the difference Is IN name.
Peter Rabbit.
BY Thornton w. Burgess

Peter Rabbit Ia foolish little fellow
In many ways, but he is not one of
those with front-door pride. The only
use he can see for door is means of
getting In or out, and he doesn't care
hair Of his. funny little tail which
door 1t is SO long as it is OPEN. So
Peter always has an eye open for back
doors as we'll az front doors.
When Peter popped out. of Johnny
Chuck's house by the front door al
most into the mouth of Reddy Fox, and
then popped back in again Just in the
nick of time, he found himself in fix.
He was foolishly afraid to stay in that
house, because the feeling that Johnny
and Polly Chuck might be dead down
there In their beds frightened him.
Why it should don't know, for even
had they been dead. which they were
nor there would have been nothing to
% afraid OF. suppose 1t was the mys-
terry OF. it. Mystery frightens more
people than real danger does.
but II he was afraid to stay in that
mouse ne was more afraid to go out,
with Keddy Fox waiting outside. He
knew Reddy we'll enough to know that
unless he had something else on his
mind he would hide somewhere near
and wait patiently. It looked to Peter
as It 1t would be wholly matter Of
which possessed the greater amount Of
patience. Ordinarily, Peter wouldn't
have minded this at all. It was much
warmer inside than outside, and he
would have enjoyed staying in there
until he was sure that his patience had
outlasted that Of Reddy Fox.
But with the m stery of those two
little friends. Johnny and Polly Chuck,
so still and cold down there in their
beds, Peter wanted to get out OF that
house and he wanted to get out right
away.
a0h. dearl oh, dear mels said Peter
to himself. Whatever did come in
hero for, anyway This is what comes $
Of being so curious about something
that didn't concern me at all. I'll
nevers never bs curious again. l never
will"
For long time he sat just halfway
down that long hail. And all the time
he Was nervous. He couldn't get it
out Of his head that Johnny and Polly
Chuck were dead, and that whatever
had killed them might kill him. At
last he had blessed thought. He 4
remembered that branch hall that led
TO one cf Johnny Chuck'g back doors
Perhaps he could get out that way.
