conductor, was instantly killed when
a passenger coach and caboose we're
derailed near the Frisco roundhouse

pened. Just as he reached the rear
platform, the caboose lurched from
the rails, and he was thrown from the
platform to the track. The next in
slant the caboose fell across him.

the doctors who had been called an
nounced Mundell had been instantly
killed. Mundell's remains were res

and carrying in his hand bread
and butter sandwich.
When darkness came he had not

out a drag-net. The hospitals were
called. The newspapers were noti-

And yesterday morning they found
the little boy, away over in the back
Of Grant park, considerably Scared
by his first night out, with his over
alls ripped in several places and his
face bruised and hands scratched,
but happy withal and undaunted.
Darkness caught him in the park, and
he slept in the leaves, and when

and homesick, but could not find mis-
way back to mother.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle recently attended his
first ghost party in America.
Ghostly voices and spirit noises
were heard--and he talked with the
shade of Madame Eusapia Palladino,
world-famous medium, dead three
years.
The exclusive story is given here
by Sir Arthur's first contact with
spirits since his arrival in America
The seance, which Sir Arthur describ-
ed as highly successful, took place at
the American Psychieal Institute and
Laboratory in this city.
The dead Pa1ladino apparently
talked through the lips of Nino Be-
coraro, young Italian medium.
Spectators included Sir Arthur and
Lady Doyle and party of members
of the institute headed by DR.. Here

Fronting Black Curtain
The table was placed directly in
front of black curtabin covering an

which had been lined in black, COW

locked.
Within the cabinet was a small ia

Lady Doyle said she too felt the
cool breeze, which DIR. Darlington
later described as a ghostly herald
characteristic of seance.
/ Now came a curious rafting as of
jangling handouts. Then a scratch
ing sound, like spirit finger faint
ly moving against the curtain.
Explosively came terrific shrek
lone Italian word, indistinguishable
even to the interpreter. The medi-
um's sister-in-law, who sat next to
Lady Doyle, covered in her chair. In
the dimly lighted room the faces of
the people there were mere white
blobs in the dark.
Tambourine is Hurled.
Silence for a moment. Then the
tambourine played and suddenly it
was thrown out of the slit in the
curtain and clattered on the outer
table. A bell was heard, and then
several notes on the toy piano.
Again something came hurting
out of the cabinet. 1t was the medi-
um's belt! And then white strip
his collar!
And suddenly the little table came
rolling out and fell on its side next
TO DR., Carringtons chair. Some of
the spectators later said they saw
tiny specks of light against the SOM

"Palladino! Palladinor came the
murmuring voice from the cabinet.
1t was a whispering voice. Again
it spoke: "Palladino is here. She is
here. She will try to show her hands
her face" The voice trailed off.
And now the spirit spoke!
Il, who used to call back the spir-
it's now come back as spirit my

To the people sitting there in the
dim light the murmuring voice was
that of the great Palladino herself,

boy.

The story revolves itself around
the romance of Kathleen and young
Kenneth Wayne, son of the slayer Of
Moonyeen and the embittered life of
John Crateret, who was deprived of
his beautiful bride at the altar.
Wyndham Standing, as John Car

Talmadge. The remainder of the
east, including Alec B. Francis,

the efforts of Sidney Franklin, whose

another screen success in her latest
starring vehicle, "Smilin' Through"

And so we must go little further
and say that ''Smilin' Through is
positively the best thing that Norma

More than that, it is a magnificent
dramatic production in every re-

Norma is superb in the dual role
which she plays in her thoroughly
