NEW YORK.-Plans and specin-
cations for heaven and hell, COM
plete from lower to upper levels. are
being revealed to Americans in a
series Of lectures by Sir Arthur Con-
an Doyle.
Sir Arthur gets his information
straight from the spirits OF those
who have passed on-some 23 Of
them. He's not as poetic but much
more specific than Mr.. Milton, Sig
nor Dante and others who have es-
sayed descriptions Of the beyond.
There's not a doubt but what Sir
Arthur believes in spirituallsm as
firmly as he believes in eating. drink
Ing and sleeping. This bulky British
er, knighted for his success In let
ters, married and the father Of a
fine family. conservative In his man
ners as any man of 65. has seen
ghosts, talked with them, received
written messages from them-and
that settles every question, as far
as he Is concerned.
II you ask Sir Arthur about anv
phase Of heaven or hell he answers.
direct specific, with absolute posi-
tiveness and conviction. Here are
some Of the startling statements:
"iiEAVEN-This Is to me as def
inite a world as Europe or the
United States. II is very like thi.
world, except that heaven is devoid
of the ugly, the unhappy, the evil
things we find In this life.
"HEAVENLY SPIRITS-In heav-
en- every person is at the zenith OF
his or her powers. The spiritual
body is like the earth today, except
that the former is complete and
beautiful In heaven we lose all
earthly deformiues; the person with
only one leg. one eye or a crooked
spine Is made whole. The little
children attain perfect manhood or
womanhood.
"HEAVENLY HOMES-There are
beautiful homes In heaven, sur
rounded by gardens Of wonderiul
flowers. I believe that one finds
there ones favorite pets. There are
woodlands and lakes, games and
sports. Joy and laughter. Yes, and
the opportunity to work.
sHEAVENLY MUsIC-The heav-
emily music Is joyous, Inspiring
soothing. You know that on this
earth there are many sounds pitched
so high that the human ear cannot
record them. The music OF the world
beyond Is OF this sort.
/ "UUMAN WEAKNESS - Heaven
is a replica Of earth. except that the
grossly material things and the
weaknesses OF the flesh do not enter
there. All ones desires are realized
in heaven but tie heavenly body

WILL RUSSIA
BE RECOGNIZED?
Business Men Believed to
Be Favorable to Trade

SOME WANT u. S
TO TAKE THE LEAD

WASHINGTON. April IS. Omitted
Press )-Congress IS being sounded
out on it's attitude towards American
recognition Of Russia.
Business is doing the sounding.
This has lead to the belief in some
quarters at the Capital that the
United States government will not
delay recognition Of the soviet regime
If other nations lead the way. In
fact some members of Congress
thing there Is a possibility that the
United States may take the initia-
tive.
The sounding out process among
Congressman has been going on ever
since it became apparent that Russia
would be represented at the Genoa
economic conference. Letters which
combine adroitly suggestion and in
quiry have been received by a num-
ber of members OF House and Sem
ate. The letters In most cases have
come from constituents Of the leg
islators. business men in their home
States. In all of them IS the sugges-
tion that Russia is a fertile field for
American business. Quite obviously
the letters. all of which are similar
in tone though not in any sense
form letters, come from persons in
terested solely in a business way.
Discussing Russian recognition to-
day, Senator Borah. Idaho, said 1t

Is there any way Of proving that
a living human being has a soul7
Unquestionably so-though I
know Of no way save by psychic
phenomena, which are the more
material side Of spiritualism.
What we call the "theric body
called by St. Paul the spiritual
body"-is what in popular speech is
described as the soul.
1t is a facsimile Of our present
bodies. and It survives them. It is
the thing which has been the basis OF
all phantom stories-the thing seen
so often at the moment Of death by
distant friends or relatives.
1t is temporarily dissociated from
the body in sleep. and under certain
narcotic drugs.

more ethereal thing called the spirit

Yes, souls have sex. but beyond

is a thing peculiar to life.
Sex manifests in beauty, in sym

ways in which It manifests on earth

WILSOIS NOT TO
GET in fight
Former President Will Take
no Part in Congressional
Campaigns
is SILENT ON
TUMULTY EPISODE
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN.

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. April 15.-Wood-
row Wilson will take virtually no
part in the congressional campaigns
this fall. This was the prevailing
belief in political circles here, as the
result of the breach between the
former President and his friend and
ex-secretary. Joseph p. Tumulty,
growing out of the dispute as to
whether Tumulty was authorized to
convey message from Wilson to
the recent Jeffersonian banquet in
New York.
From sources considered close to
the former President, it was learned
Wilson's action in repudiating the
message Tumulty gave the banquet
ers, which amazed political circles
here, was not taken to check a boom
for James NJ. Cox in 1924 or to aid
one for william G. McAdoo, but to
make it clear to all factions of the
party that Wilson is not abandoning
| his steadfast determination to keep
out of politics.
Wilson may get back into politics
before the next Presidential election
some of his friends believe; others
think he will never return to the
political ring in the sense that the
phrase is generally understood, but
all agree that he still does not CON

re-entry and that he does not now

nations and he realizes that even II
the Democrats won a victory IN the
Congressional campaigns by captur-
ing the House and reducing Repub.
lican strength in the Senate that
would not take this country into the
league in all probability. The Dem
r, ocrats must place a pro-leaguer ir
the White House to accomplish that
end it IS evident.
Both Wilson and Tumulty continue
to maintain a silence over the breach
although it is evident that here that
sympathy in political circles is with
ITumulty.
The message which Wilson repu-
dated Is considered so harmless that
the former Presidents action IN
throwing overheard an old and de-
voted friend IS not considered justi-
fed even If he did not authorize the
message.
Wide speculation was prevalent
here as to the Identity Of the Nc
Adoo leader who called at the Will
son home the day after the message
was read and protested that It was
used TO boom the Cox candidacy and
thus aroused the former President
ire against Tumulty.
