cold extended far to the south, doing
great damage to fruit crops. While tne
eastern states were experiencing this
freak weather for this season OF the
year the northwest was enjoying the
most delightful March weather ever
experienced.

 Forty persons were present. Mrs, Tomson insisted on collecting s2 from each of them before the show began. Mrs. Martha Schorup of the Fourth Spiritualistic church objected. Mrs. Julia NJ. Reid of the William T. Stead Memorial church wanted to know why, if Mir. Tomson and his daughter were permitted to be near the cabi- net, they were not searched as Mrs. Tomson was.
 Also, Mrs. Reid wanted to know why the curtains of the cabinet might not remain open while Mrs. Tomson was in her trance.
 Mrs. Tomson has been insulted in this house." said Mir. Tomson. There will be no seance tonight. This is what we get for not collecting our money in advance"
 Mrs. Reid then announced that she had exposed the Tomsons seven years 8 go. and the Tomsons left forthwith. Mir, Bird said yesterday that the com petition he is interested in will con- tinue despite possible interruptions such as this.

Washington. Nov. s.-Final ar engagements were made today for the closing of the interstate commerce commissions investigation into the possibility of railroad consolidation in the United States, January ', being set for hearing oral arguments of counsel for railroads. General notice was given that between now and that time all the states. municipalities and shippers organizations interested may file briefs.

The commission has prepared its own tentative plan for the conduct of the consultations, but has no authority under present law to enforce it.

SPIRITS FAIL ID ANSWER THE CALL
Mediums Husband However, Ob-
 jeCtS to Place Of SeanCeS

New York, Nov. S.-Mrs. Elizabeth Tomson of Chicago went to the theater or did something equally ma terialistic last night. It doesn't mat ter, in this particular instance, what she did. She didn't produce any spiritualistic phenomena. Neither ectoplasmic manifestations nor textile epparitions issued from a cabinet oc- Gupied by her. The reason is sim pie. Mrs. Tomason declined, in a manner of speaking. to do her stuff.
 She was to appear before a jury felected by the Scientific American and compete for the s2.50o prize that periodical offers for spirit material t2ation." She was to have her chance tn make good her husbands DQast that she is the only woman in tho world who can go into a strange home tnd, using a cabtnct constructed by her hostess, produce visible spirits O: the departed.
 But yesterday at noon her hushar1, Clarence H. Tomson, who acts as i'm presario Of the sr encs, objected to the affair being held in the law library or thc magazine offering tho prize. He appeared. according to J. Malcolm Bird, associate editor of the Scientific American, to ba little suspicious He insisted thac the rance be held in a private home. He offered to per init Mr. Bird and his associates to pick the home If Mir. Bird could find no home he, MT. Tomson, would provide if.
 Not only did MT Bird indignantly refuse to abondon the law library hut he severed connections with MT. Tomson, Mrs. Tomson, Mr. Bird said. may have another chance hut she must negotiate through some person other than Uor husband. ATr. Bird and Mir. Tomson are through,
 Didn't Win Prize
 II is probable that Mrs Tomson will not win the prize. Mr. Bird says that numerous persons say they have proved that she is in no wise able to produce the supernatural, but that in asmueh as she entered the competi- ton she has been accepted ns con- testant. Mrs. Tomson is having quite a rough time Of it. She, her hus- band and her daughter went to the Fourth Spiritualistic church, 35i Sixth avenue Brooklyn, on Tuesday night,

ceedings were here interrupted by
Lawyer Bonnell, who asked that the
court bring in Joe Miller from the Jail
that he might hear this testimony.
Prosecutor Solan became somewhat
enraged at this interruption, but the
court ordered the sheriff to bring in
the prisoner and the matter proceeded.
Conley then went on to tell of getting
a signal from Darby and of going back
to the e of the store where the
sweaters were piled on a rear porch
and of taking them down to the beach
and laying them on the sand. Next he
told how Darby went after his ma
chine and brought it to the scene
where it was loaded up with the stolen
loot. Darby at the wheel and Conley
lying in the back on the sweaters they
then drove to the last house on West
Andrew avenue where Darby called
for Jimmy" or skinny" and a man
came out. They took the goods out Of
the car and laid them on the ground,
after which Conley returned to the
Superior Restaurant where after hav-
ing a bit to eat he met Jaffe. The
two then returned to the beach in the
rea of the shop and got the balance
of the loot and took it to the Andrew
avenue house where the strange man
was waiting for them. Jaffe remained
at the house and he returned to his
home, he stated. The next he saw the
men was the next night about 8 P. M.
at the pool room. Some nights later
he met Darby at the pool room and
late hat night he took three bags Of
the sweaters from an alley way near
the pool room and loading them in his
car he and Darby drove them to the

case. He stated that he new Surman,
Jaffe, Conley, Miller and the Jacobs
and picked them out of the crowd in
the room. He stated of what occurred
on the night of the I'd, saying that he
met Jaffe at the Ruric Cafe that night
and was with him until about 11.30,
when he left Jaffe and went to the
Superior Restaurant. He stated that
he met Miller there later and still
later saw Conley and Darby in a ma
chine. He hen said he saw Jaffe
at 4 A. M. the next morning at his
room at the Edgeton Inn. Lawyer
McHenry started to c-ross-examine him
at this point but was stopped by Solan
and he withdrew his question unan-
swered.
John Conley was now called to the
stand. Conley vas a well known
figure here last summer, and in sum-
mers past with the younger set of
the Island, and his arrest in this case
brought surprise to many of his
friends. When he took the stand on
Wednesday he was nattily dressed and
and appeared very cool and easy in
his position of witness. Questions
had little effect on his condition
and he remained almost unchanged
throughout the examination. He told
of the experiences on the night of the
robbery after first picking out the
several prisoners and identifying them
by their first names. He told a story
of having lent Darby his car early in
the evening while he went to a dance
at the Ocean Pier. After this place
was closed he said he walked down
the boardwalk to Pine avenue and
from there to Oak and Atlantic, where
Darby came out of the restaurant at
this corner and told him that they
were going to the Rosetta Shop that
night. The other men of the crowd
then came out of the restaurant, he
testified and w. Jacobs, Jaffe, Miller,
Darby and himself jumped into his
machine and went to Garfield and At
lantic avenues, where the others got
out of the car while he drove it up in
front of his house about a quarter of a
block from the corner of Garfield and
Atlantic He then got out of
the car and overlook the others at the
boardwalk and Garfield avenue. They
had been Joined by Arnold and Sur
mar who had been instructed by
Darby to walk down the walk from the
restaurant. He then told of being in
structed by Darby to give a signal of
a lighted match as a warning if any,
one appeared on the scene. He, Sur
man and Arnold were established as
guards on the walk and the others
then walked from the walk to the rea
of the store several times. A crash of
glass was then heard from the rear
of the store and the ones on the walk
jumped under cover for a three min
ute period when they returned to their
places. He told of an interruption
at this point, after which they re-
turned and saw Jaffe and Miller in the
store stripping the models. The pro-

The master of the galley uttered
. groaning sound. He stirred.
This sound and the faint move
ment acted Immediately upon the
two sailors rat-souled men, They
feared Evan, but they feared the
master Of the galley even more.
Each drew from his belt knife
similar to that Of the half-caste.
Warily STOPPING, and with bent
knees, they approached the young
man. He backed toward the bull
warks until he was almost level
with Cassandra. She felt a fery
tingling 60 over her.
But the miserable lad who had
covered by the rowing bench was
no longer there. He knelt near
the master of the galley. No one
was watching. His slim hand went
out, fumbled lightly and drew
from the masters waist cloth =
dagger with a silver hilt shaped
like a sphynx's head. He knet for
q second or two, then rose up,
crouching. His lips drew away
from the teeth that were white as
almonds a mute snarl. He
lunged forward and stabbed one
of the sailors in the back.
The man screamed. He slowed
half round with a curiously idiotic
expression of establishment. Then
he tottered, sagged at the knees
and collapsed. His fellow, turn
ing to see him, stricken, held his
queer, arrested attitude for half
Of heart beat. Panic dawned
upon his face. He fell back
yard or 30, turned tail and scurried
to one Of the short ladders that
led up to the little platform space
behind the figurehead at the PROV.
Up this he hoped like q rabbit
and then topped down all asprawl,
his knife between his teeth, as
though sheer fear had hamstrung
him.
The master Of the galley
groaned again. Evan thrust the
knife he had taken from the half
caste under his belt, went over to
the annow lying in puddle
OF his own blood whipped off the
ray, tasselled scarf that girded
him, crossed to the master Of the
galley, turned him upon his face,
bent his arms behind his back and
bound them with the scarf.

Instantly devilish noise broke
out. The rowers yelled, shouted,

themselves about like rnadmen.

talking to her now.
A scream of pain leaped out.
There was a sound of uncertainty
running bare feet. A young lad
came lurching into sight and went
a few steps past them and then
collapsed against Evans rowing
bench in the shadow of the bull
wark. He was a boy of about
thirteen, Jew, slightly built and
handsome in pathetic, aquiline
way. His olive skin was notified
with purple and greenish bruises.

am all right, because have got the
whole world and all my life AHEAD
of me- His youth, the whole world
and all my life are the hole by which
he thinks to escape.
Later on, when you see him hang
Ing limp in the grip of hard work, old
age, worry and slavery, as you have
seen mouse in a cats jaws, you know
that he has found out too late that it
doesn't pay for rat to laugh at cat
because there is hole near by, or for
youth to laugh at age and time and
necessity because there is no hurry
about it,
ut Is very hard to make young
men think seriously about anything,
much harder than 1t used to be, for
some reason. They are working to-
gether, they see EACH OTHER. They
are trying to excel FAC HOTTER,
instead of having their minds fixed on
men that have really done something
and trying to excel THEM. They are
like men walking among small hillockS

never thought about climbing real

All interesting sayings. But McCay
the artist, as he looked them over, decided
to use for his picture of to-day, when tn
rat laughs at the cat, there is hole"
With his picture he sent in the follow
ing comment on the picture and on tn
saying:
"ThafS good saying about the
rat laughing at the cat when he has a
hole behind him. don't know whether
it is especially true of cats and rats or
not.
Fl never saw rat laugh. And in
this picture, in order to make the ami
mails fairly big and get it all close to-
gether, I put the rat SO close to the cat
that the rat would never get away if the
cat should SPRING.
"The attack is always quicker than
the defense, you know, because both
attack and defense are THOUGHT.
The one that attacks has already saved
the time required by the thought. The
one attacked must both think AND act.
"But, as said, this picture isn't for
cats or rats; it's for young men. About
ninety per cent of them are as foolish
as the rat would be laughing at cat at
close quarters, as show them in this
picture.
