PSYCHIC TRANSMISSION.
Word Alleged To Have Been Spoken
by Baby Starts Discussion.

New York World, Monday.
New York doctors, while inclined
to doubt the truth of the story in
The World yesterday of baby in
Mason City, Iowa, who three times
cried Mother" distinctly five min
utes after it was born, admitted that
anything was possible in the way of
psychic transmission.
The mother declared the cry to be
a repetition of the last word she ut
tered before going under the anaes-
thetic, which was 'mother'.
DR.. J.: E. Marek, attending physi-
clan at the hospital where the child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Zoutes was
born, stands sponsor for the story.
The patients sister and three nurses,
also in the room at the time, swore
the voice rang out high and clear
from the basket where the child lay.
'It was the one word, mother,
with the accent on the second sylla-
BILE more perfectly enunciated than I
can speak it, because child's voice
can be sustained in a way that an
adults can not, said DR.. Marek. "It
was not only clear, but loud enough
to be heard half the length of the
hospital-a pleading rather than a
wailing CALI
No physician could be found in this
city yesterday who knew of similar
case. They suggested that if the oc-
currence could be verified it would
mean that. we are on the threshold Of
marvellous psychic discoveries, possi-
bly, of establishing thought transfer
ence as an accepted thing.
Seeks Natural Causes.
DR.. John D. Vuackenbos of No. S23
West End avenue, member of the
London Society for Psychical Re-
search, had several explanations to
offer. "My first inclination would
be to hunt for natural causes of the
of the voice issuing from
the child, he said. "It is possible
that the mother while partially under
the influence of the anaesthetic de-
veloped ventriloquistic powers. 1t
may have been her voice projected
into the baby's basket. Or it might
have been an inarticulate cry strong
ly resembling the word mother.
"I have never heard Of case like
this, he went on. II do not hesitate
to say that in birth there is projec-
tion to the child of maternal love and
close solicitude. From scientific
standpoint it is hard to see how the
speech machinery could be in perfect
enough condition five minutes after
birth to make articulation possible
Parallel Cases Lacking.
Inquiry among the largest matern-
ity hospitals failed to disclose a par
allel case. The resident obstetrician
of Bellevue went so far as to say that

born there give cries resembling the
word "ma-ma" or mother.

 President McLendon thanked MT. Dinsmore fof calling the attention of the commission to the matter and as- sured him it would be investigated at once.
