Dr. rince Compares
Ghost of PEBBLES
With Plesiosaurtls
Antigonish Explorer Shifts
at Both; Wouldn't Believe
'Cluck, Cluck' by Man Was
Message of Departed Hen

Dr. Walter Franklin Prince was un-
Impressed yesterday by the announce
ment from the spirit world, via the
ghost of DR.. James Martin PEBBLES. that
there is no rheumatism in heaven. DR..
Prince, in excellent training for this
sort of thing after his recent success
in hunting down the ghost of Anti
gonlsh, was inclined to pooh pooh the
idea that Peebles's ghost was anywhere
near that dinner in Los Angeles.
IL am asked said DR.. Prince yester-
day, what ! think of this claim that
the late Dr.. PEBBLES was present at his
posthumous birthday banquet in Los
Angeles and talked through q medium
| do not think anything of it except
that it is entirely without evidence.
1T ls from my point Of view exactly
parallel 20 an argument which might
be urged in the claim that the pleslo-
saurus still exists in the tropical for
est. That is a somewhat astonishlry
claim, for the species was supposed to
be dead as Julius Caesar, somewhat be-
fore Juius's time.
"But if any evidence exists that the
pleslosaurus survives it is worth while
to send out an investigating expedition
as understand is being done, But the
members of the expedition. if they
have an ounce Of scientific spirit,
would not pay any attention to the
claim Of All African savage at an Afri
can religious ceremony that he knew
the plesiosaurus was near because he
smelt him or heard him grunt.
"All the evidence of Peebles's pres
ence was that a medium said that he
was there and professed to give a com
nonplace message that any one could
give For people to believe such claim
on no evidence at all is pure act of
faith, feat of credulity. I would as
soon be convinced that a dead hen is
present because a man says, 'Cluck,
cluck' and declares it is q m essage from
the hen"

Refused 10 Let Her Out,
Says Companion, Who Also
Was Injured in jumping

The police Of Hackensack arc wait
ing for seventeen-year-old Margaret
Fox, patient in Hackensack Hospital
to recover consciousness, hoping that
she may be able to throw further light
on the mystery IS to how she came to
be found in dazed condition beside
the road near Westwood last night with
Loretta Dalton, girl of the same age.
Miss Fox, whose home is at 26
Webster Street, is suffering from con-
cussion of the brain. An X-ray photo
graph was taken to ascertain whether
she has fracture of the skull. Her
companion, who lives at 70 Bloomfield
Avenue, Newark, had severe bruises,
but was discharged from the hospital
about noon.
She had told several stories of the
events Of Friday evening, none Of which
fully satisfied the police. and was re-
leased in $500 bail as a witness. She
said she and Miss Fox had been in
yitcd by man named ed" and an
other man to take ride, and added:

Newark and refused to turn around

1t is the belief of the police that
Miss Dalton is trying to shield some
one she fears might be held RESPONSE
BILE for the plight Of herself and her
friend. Her first story was that the
car in which they were riding had
beer upse-.
She modified this when the police
pointed out that no upset car had been
