The elusive Turner park ghost has
undergone a transformation during
the past week. In place Of being the
spectre of one who has departed to
another world, the shrouded figure
has assumed flesh and blood. The
|apparition is described now as a mortal
being with a desire to initiate the
spirits who are alleged to hover about
graveyards. .
Fred A. Fischer, the one man who
has come forward to declare he saw the
figure, asserted last night that he really
did not believe in ghosts but that he
felt that apparition 'was some foolish
person who dressed up in white
sheet to terrify people,.

Ghost Rumors Pour In.
During the past week rumors OF the
ghosts activities have continued to
come ia to the police but upon in
vestigation they have all gone up in
thin smoke.
There was story, for instance, that
the shrouded figure had torn the coat
off girl in Turner park last Friday
evening Investigation disclosed that
the young woman in question had not
been out of her home during the even
ing.
fs'I do not know how the story ever
got started; she told the police.
Twenty-Five persons have asked me me
about it. I never went out OF the
house Friday evening" SIN
Fireman Is Surprised.
/ There was another story to the
leffect that the ghost had accosted 9
Northwestern railroad fireman Satur-
(day evening as he was leaving the
passenger station. The fireman, who
weighs more than 200 pounds and
stands six feet high, declared that the
report was the first he had heard Of it.
stI would blow him over" " he said.
Rumors Of seeing the ghost on
IGerman street and in German park
have floated in, but they, likewise,
lhave failed Of confirmation when the
officers investigated them.
Ghost Better Watch Out.
In the meantime it is reported that
a vigilance committee is being or
Iganized and the next time the ghost
puts in an appearance, either as 9
spectre or a human being, he will be
met with a charge Of lead which vii
give him something to think over. sa

EAST WOBURN, Mass.-This will be
the happiest Christmas ever spent by
Mre, Albert Knowlton. The odd. circular
little house, where she lives in this
little village will be the scene Of her
first real happy Yuletide in three de-
cades.
She has her baby onc more.
Sickness overlook Mrs. Knowlton, 30
years ago. She left her two babies 1t
home in Portland, Me-, In care of her
husband, while she went to her mother
for treatment.
When she returned, both babies were
gone, turned over to an orphanage.
Both had been adopted from 1t.

trace, though, was found Of the young
est. Through the years, other children
were born to her, but the mothers heart
yearned for the lost one But with the
yearning was an enduring faith that
some day somehow, God would restore
the missing child in his own time
Never faltering never losing an oppor-
tunity to seek tidings, Mrs. Knowlton
consulted a medium this fall. The med.
ium advised her to put III advertise

In October. A few days later, a reply
came from Mrs. Herman j. MUSE, Rich.

And now that a faith that endured

has finally been rewarded, Mrs. knowl'

Believes State Constitution
Should Be Changed So
That Corporations Pay
a Gross Income.

Because the tax laws are said to be
20 loose that determined Ia .dodgers
can get around them without paying,
Earl Brown of Marietta. senator-elect
from this district, favors changing the
present laws and says that IL such a bill
Is presented it will nave his support.
Taxation Is unequal at this time, he
said, and is binding on the poor class
of people. He would have the tax lien
prior to all mortgages and other liens
on personal property.
A revision Of the tax resale laws is
needed so that the state and county
will not have TO lose two years tax on
land sold at resale ito benefit the tax
dodger." He believes. too, that the con-
stitution should be amended so that all
corporations will have to pay the gross
tax similar to the laws Of California.
Other Favored Items
Mr.. Brown says the school laws OF
California are more excellant thar those
of Oklahoma. and that changes should
be made here.
He favored the collection of auto IL
cense tax within the home county.
He would make it a penitentiary OF.
