''SPOOK OR SPOOF"
IS NOT SOLVED BY
DR.. PRINCES VIGIL
Elaborate System of Bells and
Strings Installed to Give
Ghost Alarm.
EMPTY FLASK A CLUE.
If the Spirit" Fails to Walk
Tonight Scientist Will Call
Back the McDonaldS.

HALIFAX, March S.-The ghost
that chased Alexander McDonald's
family out of their farm house in
the lonely stretches beyong Anti
gonish failed to materialize last night.
DR.. Walter F. Prince, the New
York scientist who led the ghost
hunting expedition to the farm, re-
ported to-day that the night failed to
bring forth any ghostly slaps, mys-
terious fires or other manifestations
that terrorized the McDonalds. He
lay in bed all night with strings on
his fingers and toes, and bells ~ the
o+ber ends of the strings waitipf lor
Ne spirit 70 fall > to has spooF -trgsi
but nothing was heard save the tick
ing of clocks and the barking of a
lonely dog outside.
DR.. Prince declared he would give
the wrath another chance tonight.
Ii it fails to "do it's stuff" he will
ask the Mcdonald family to return
to its home and then he'll await
developments. Maybe the ghost will
perform only for the McDonalds
The reporters intend to stay with
the investigator until the spook either
does his stuff or shows that he has
left the place for good. One OF them
| has obtained what he considered
proof of the ghosts existence when
he found that flask which he laid
down for moment had been emptied
while his back was turned. All the
other members Of the party denied
having touched it.
Alex Macdonald, owner OF the
haunted house, denied story
which has obtained wide credence
throughout Nova Scotia, to the effect
that the spooky manifestations in his
home were caused by spirits sent by
his dead brother.
The story, which was FIRST told by
ueghbors. is to the effect that several
| years dSO Ian NldN A''ll'Nih ANAN '''S
Macdonald homestead and went to the
United States to earn money TO pay
off the mortgage on the farm left the
| Macdonald boys by their father He
made money in Wisconsin and other
| States, returned TO Anttgonish and
paid off the mortgage
Later, the story has II, he was
turned away from the farm by Alex
Macdonald, went to live in Antgonish
| Town and died of a broken heart. He
is supposed to have put a curse on
the farm, stating that Alex would be
tormcnted by evil spirits.
Perhaps tonight Mary Ellen, Mac
Donald's adopted daughter will re-
main in the house, chapcroncd by
| her adopted father. Dr., Prince is
eager to have her there for at least
| one night. 1t is not likely that Mrs.
| Macdonald will be asked to 70 to the
| house, as it is feared the strain viii be
too great upon her after the nervous
breakdown she had following her last
night in the house.

At 10 O'Clock in the morning Of
March 2, floundering in mountainous
seas and with the smoke being lit
orally snatched out OF her tunnels
and shot astern in a straight line by
q sleet laden gale, the EstOnia was
making four and one-half knots an
hour. Capt. Gorgensen was in the
chart house and Hansen was in his
place in the wireless room with the
receivers to his ears. idly listening
to the messages coming to him
through the ether.
He sat up as he distinguished the
S o S call. Intently he listened as
the wireless operator on the Grontoft
told, rapidly. almost incoherently,
how the vessel had become unman-
ageable in latitude 4S.6 north, longi-
tude 4lSO west The Grontoft, her
wireless said, was doomed and haste
in rendering aid was imperative.
In two minutes Capt. Gorgensen
had the message. He knew his posi-
ton. 1t was about AS miles east by
north of that OF the Grontoft.
"Tell him." said Capt. Gorgensen
to Hansen. that we are on the way
to help him"
From the bridge Capt. Gorgensen
sent orders to the engine room to
speed up Soon passengers and crew
felt the shivering from the racing of
the screw as the ship was lifted high
astern and slid nose first down the
sloping sides OF the waves. The
Estonia was on new course, cross
ing the wind and heading straight for
A8.6 N, 4l.30 W.
Hansen. listening. found that the
S o S had been heard afar. He mott
fed all other ships that the Estonia
was bound for the Grontoft. The
speed of the Estonia was eight knots
an hour. She should be at the work
of rescue in six hours.
At 11.4O o'clock, the wireless man
on the Grontoft sent another mes
sage. He said the men were getting
ready to lower the boats, although
there was little chance that a small
boat could live in the heavins sea,
He asked hat the Estonia be hurriei
along,
Capt. Gorgcnson ordered more
steam and more speed, but the Es-
tonia could not do much better than
eight knots in the storm Waves
swept her decks continually and some
times when the full force of the wind
leaned against her she went over so
fpt o., gtrrhpn rI that 10 would SOON
for seconds at "a time. that she would
never straightcu up again.
Hansen caught message from the
Grontoft at l2.l0 O'Clock that was
like a whisper The wireless man on
the freightcr reported that the main
power plant had failed and he was
working with his auxiliary.
THE boats We're smashed" came
family to Hansen. Some of the men
went overheard. We are almost
awash now. l may be driven out any
minute. Hurry! You may not hear
from me again.
They did not hear from him again.

HARDING PUZZLES
ALL BY H|SSTAND
ON SOLDIER BONUS
Knows Sales Tax Can't Pass
and That the House Is
Pledged to Act.
By David Lawrence.
Especial Correspondent of the Eve
ming World.

WASHINGTON. March s. Copy
right 1922).-The news of President
Hardiug's insistence on his original
pos.tinn of postponemcnt Of The en-
actrent Of a. ales, ~ 10 rais6 ,hl
needed revenue for the soldier bonus
has started all sorts Of speculation as
to what is behind Mr.. Harding's
move. He knows, OF course, that a
sales tax is impossible because there
are not enough votes to get it
through.
The House, on the other hand, faces
an election this autumn, and is more
or less pledged by it's leaders to take
some sort of action.
The evening world. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1887-1931, 1922-03-08

The uDshot of the whole situation is
unquestionably deadlock in the Sen
ate. When 435 members of Congress
have TO stand for reelection no vital
issue can be evaded Some express
sion must be had or tho matter be-
comes troublesome either in prima-
ries or elections. Many Democratic
votes, too, will be cast in favor of the
House bill. Indeed, both parties will
go on record as favoring the new
bonus plan, but when the bill reaches
the Senate "a different situation i'll
confront it. In the first place, only
one third of the Senate is up for re-
election. Even if every one of those
men voted for the bonus bill it
would not be enough to pass it.
The chances are the bonus bill will
have hard shedding in the Senate.
The proponents of a sales tax are
numerous in tho Senate but few in
the House This means a revival of
the sales tax agitation when the bonus
bill strikes the Senate. Meanwhile
President Harding sees no necessity
OF approving the House measure and
secs on the contrary a great deal of
tactical advantage in standing pat
until both Houses OF Congress reach
some sort of an agreement. 1t may
be that when the Fordney Oil gets
into conference the loan feature
whereby service men may borrow
from the banks up to half the
amount of the sums they would have
been entitled to if they were paid 81
a day for service on this side of the
Atlantic and Sl.25 for service over
seas, will he eliminated. The loan
provision is weaker in strength than
the cash payment feature,
lr both lrousos should arrive at an
understandings whereby n small bonus
is rajl and the limit is placed on fifty
days of service. the chances are such
"a measure would not bc vetoed But
thc impression at the moment is that
Mr.. Harding has very little confidence

TREATY OPPONENTS
CONTINUE FIGHT To
KILL PACIFIC PACT

WASHINGTON, March IL. - An
other sustained assault was thrown
against the four power Pacific trea-
ty by the senate irreconcilables today
after the treaty's friends had argued
among themselves for an hour as to
whether the pact might properly be
called an alliance"
The fight against ratification was
carried forward in turn by Senators
France, Republican OF Maryland;
Johnson. Republican of California,
and Watson. Democrat of Georgia, in
series Of speeches which occupied
the senate most of the afternoon and
which drew no reply from the treaty S
supporters. Senator Johnson COM
pared the pact with the Anglo-Japa-
nese alliance in an effort to show
that both contain a meeting broad
er than their words"
In the course of the debate charges
of propaganda" both for and against
the treaty, were made by the oppos-
| ing sides, but not one produced any
! direct evidence to support the asser-
! tions or asked for any investigation
of the influences declared to be at
work to control the action of the SEN
/ ate.
1 The discussion over application of
! the lGIIl elllleitItC hOOh PRtef~~
! largely between Senator's Willis, Re-
bulican of Ohio, and Spencer Repub-
/ lican of Missouri, both supporters OF
/ the treaty. A speech recently made
/ by Senator Spencer, declaring the
| pact to be an alliance for confer
ence," but not for use Of force, was
assailed by Senator Willis, who in
sisted that no sort of alliance" was
contemplated and that the speech OF
/ the Missouri senator had emDar-
rassed the treatys friends.
Mr.. Spencer stood by his definition
and his characteriZation Of the for
eign relations committees mo alli-
ance" reservation as a ridiculous
absurdity?"
By Senators France, Johnson ano
| Watson, il was declared that the die
tionary definition covering the treaty
mattered little and the real nature OF
the four power arrangement must be
Judged by it's practical operation
! Mr.. Johnson asserted that so far as
actual wording went, the Anglo
Japanese alliance covered only un-
provoked aggression in eastern Asia
and India. and that il it really was
dangerous othe United States a.
argued by supporters of the four
power treaty, the reason lay betweei
the lines. Judged by the same pro
cess, he asserted, the four power pac
might easily lead TO many dangers
in actual practice.
