SPIRIT PHOTOS

Message Purporting to Come
From Late w. 7. Stead

NEW YORK. May S. Spirit
photographs. which Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle said were never shown
in the world before" were flashed on
the screen in Carnegie Hall yester-
day afternoon, while his audience sat
hushed throughout the lecture, which
has excited SO much interest that 1t
is being repeated four times before
he leaves the city.
Sir Arthur showed twenty-five
spirit photographs not used at his
previous appearances, including the
few never shown before. Among
them was a message declared to be
from William T. Stead, written
around the face of Walker, a lifetime
friend. The message, which Sir Ar.
thur Vouched for as being In the
handwriting OF Stead, was as follows:
Il will try. TO keep you posted"
Its significance, Sir Arthur said,
lay in the fact that when Walker
was saying goodbS at the dock to
Stead on the latter's fatal trip on the
Titanic, he said to his departing
friend: Il will try TO keep you
posted" Later, when Walker sat
for a spirit photograph. this message.

that transferred that message II It
was not Steady
Another picture showed the fig.
ure Of a beautiful girl, in natural
tints, rising cloudlike from the
head OF W. T. SteadIs daughter,
who was posing for her photograph
Inquiries have reached him from
all sources since he started showing
these ''psychoesaphs," Sir Arthur
said, asking for an explanation OF
them. The criticism had been made.
he added, that theye are a sort OF
suger-materialism. They could be
described properly in this way, he
said. although he is trying to show
just where spiritual forces impinge
themselves on matter. They are
only the introduction Of something
infinitely more important and high.
er, and Wednesday night in an.
other lecture he will endeavor to
show just where this super-mate.
rialism ends and the spiritual forces
begin, Sir Arthur announced.

BATHING
SUIT SLIPS OFE
PRETTY MODEL
coney island Gets Biggest
Thrill Of Season When,
Stitches Go Bad.

NEW YORK, May S.--As modiste
Charlotte lie Blanc is one of the best
sculptresses in Greenwich, Village,
take it from Shirley Lewis who.
herself. is one OF the most talented
cartoonists Of the village who ever
pulled a publicity stunt at ConeY
Island on a Sunday afternoon in
May. II ever Charly designs an
other bathing suit for Shirley some
body else Is going 10 stitch it to-
gether.
1t was a stunning suit. Anybody
who was on the beach yesterday will
admit that. They were all stunned
when Shirley handed her bathrope
to Charly and feinted at the ocean.
They were not so stunned, how
ever, as to be unable to crowd
around Shirley. 1t was a bathing
costume that wasn't effective at long
range or even from the rear. In fact,
from the rear no one would suspect
If Shirley happened TO be sitting
down that she had on a bathing euit
or anything at all except a fetching
head kerchief.
The costume itself was a triumph.
1t was futuristic in type and of a
design that will be thoroughly prac-
teal some time in the future when
the ocean has dried up and a sultry
but cloudy day comes along. It
could be seen at Il glance that the
suit scarcely would do for a wet
ocean or for a scorching beach.
1t was what might be called q
three-piece suit. The two top pieces
were something like the front
breadths of a zouave jacket and oc.
cupied a similar position on Shirlcy's
anatomy where they were glued or
otherwise invisibly attached. The
lower piece of oilcloth or linoIeum or
something OF the kind on which
Charly had painted futuristic birds
and futurtstic flowers in numbers.
which were simply incredible when
the dimensions of her canvas were
considered.
After her spirited feint at the
ocean Shirley clambered into a row.

EXPLORERS SAY
Expedition Returns With Ship

!
NEW YORK. May s.-Houses
built to order, $40 each.
Look out for the nuts; IL one hits
you, 1t viii kill.
j Don't worry about the price OF
clothing. while trees are IN sight.
| These are some of the high lights
of n story told today by DIR. Orlando
White. assistant botanist Of the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden. who has
just returned from the wilds OF
Brazil and Bolivia. where, in con-
junction with other members Of the
expedition, he gathered twenty tons
of loot" including $500 species
OF trees for the Brooklyn garden.
Captain Kidd and his rollicking
band Of freebooters never had the
holds OF their registering craft
fuller than the ship which has ar.
rived after an eleven months eI.
ploration trip in South America.
! Parrots, monkeys. raccoons, owls
and other wild things OF the Pam.
pas region Of Brazil were brought
back by DR.. w. NJ. Mann, acting
director and assistant entomogolist
OF the United States Department OF
Agriculture. They will be placed
in the Washington Museum.
Although the party was many
! times In. the vicinity OF tigers and
lions, they did not present the
| peril that falling nuts did. In this
connection, DR.. White said:
When Brazil nuts fall ripe from
the tree their weight Is sufficient
to crush the man they hit. They
grow about so feet from the ground,
having a shell feet in diameter.
Several times members of our party
narrowly escaped death or serious
injury when these giant nuts fell
from the trees"
"If you want to be lazy, the
! Tung8s country In Bolivia is the
place." said DR.. White.
"If you are hungry, just go out
and pick some wild rice. II is the
most nourishing OF all foods. Then,
OF course. you can have banana
or two for dessert.
"It is never cold. so one does not

CONFERENCE TO

important Problems to Be
Faced by ParIey Opening

BY Uniyersal Service.

Peace or war in South America
hinges on the outcome of Tie
Tacna-Arica conference, which
opens here next Friday on the
scene of the recent armaments
conference in the Pan-American
Union building.
Chile and Peru.
Chile and Peru, the principal and
only powers sitting in at the council
table to settle the ownership OF val.
liable nitrate deposits, are at dag
gers points. They have been since
1879. when Chile declared war on
Bolivia and Peru. decisively defeated
them and seized the provinces OF
Tarapaca and compelled Peru TO sign
a treaty ceding the provinces Of
Tacna and africa for a period Of ten
years.
Bolivia Is the buffer state between
the two, across which the rival arm
les will be compelled to march in case
of eventual hostilities. She was not
permitted to send a delegation to the
Washington conference, but has Rn

made OF the fact that settlement of
this long standing dispute is the most
important step toward peace on the
American continent at this time.
The Argentine Republic and Brazil
are vitality interested and are viewing
with jealousy the possible ascend

powers.
Harding Sent Bid.
The American Government has
no part in the deliberations, except
that President Harding invited
Chile and Peru 10 meet here when
it became evident that there was
no possibility of a settlement be-
tween the two governments by
direct exchange of views. Only in
the event of absolute failure of the
conference is there a possibility OF
the United States becoming involved
and then in the role Of a party TO
arbitration.
Both American diplomatic and
military experts are observing the
developments with keen interest,
however. In the war between Chile
and Peru In 1879 Peru had H-irtuaI
