!HDUDIlvT CAME OUT ' OF CHIEFS BIG BOX
Birmingham Maryels As Magi.
 clan FulfiIls His Promise

Houdini kept his word to Chief Fred McDuff and Saturday night came out of the. specially constructed, doubly re- .inforced wooden sbox ih which he was nailed up by five members of the Sir mingham police department. How it was done, nobody in Bir- mingham knows, but Houdini himself. Although the main object of his appear |ance at the Masonic auditorium was to explain the tricks that have made him and other soscalled magicians. including spirituaiists, famous, that was one trick that he kept to himself. But the, trick was done. Even the most skeptical member of the andience had to admit that. K s..s 7; < .si < < { ,s3
 Houdini had just finished his lecture on the tfickery and fraud resorted, to by certain spiritualistic mediums to de ceive the public and had shown how simple and understandable they were, when he stepped to the front of the stage and announced that the last num- Der on his program would zbe- irre the form of an acceptance of a challenge. This challenge, signed by Chief Me Duff, was then read. J <. A ,sz 5,
 The. five members of the police de partme1t were requested to 20 upon the stage while attendants carried a heavy box, securely tied with rope, from the, lobby and set 1t down just q few feet away. At Houdinis request, extra nails were driven to make it more secure. and the policemen examined it critically for signs of weakness or trick arrangements that would help him to escape. He got into the box, the cover was nailed on, the rope was tied around it again, and then the box, with Hou- dini inside, was placed under a canopy that yelled it from the audience. Aft CT few minutes, strange noises were heard from behind the curtain, and about 15 minutes later Houdini was
 revealed standing beside the box which was still strapped as before. N
 Disctlsses Mediums X
 Most of the evening was consumed, in a discussion of the methods employed by so-calIed spiritnalistic mediums, as his announced purpose in making his lecture tour was to expose. fraud and prove that there is nothing ito spirit writing" or any other method of receiv- ing messages from the dead q.
 T have made several cohapaets with dear friends of mine who have died, each promising to return through spir- itualism, to the other if he should die
 first; and not one -of these has come back" he said. Many people have gone crazyg gon the subject and commit ted horrible. crimes on the strength of supposed messages from their loved ones who have departed" ss@. <
 Houdini win go from Birmingham to Montgomery, where he will give q sim liar lecture on spiritualism and perform other tricks next week.. s$s

SWINGING BLOW
 DEALT POINCAREl
 IN SENATE VOTE
Resignation May Be Out come Of Acute Sit
 uatiofl < <
tl..... Y VI. ,ss. ,. ss: S,.s,.s .... s.,.,s,

PARIS, March 8.--Amid the crash ing of the franc and bitter recrimina- tions of domestic politics. Premier Poin- care has been dealt q significant defeat in the French senate and tonight his resignation appears as one of the pos. sible outcomes of an intensely acute situation. .,
 "A number of cabinet ministers went into hasty deliberation late today to decide whether the government should tender their resignation to President Millerand. Their conference immediate. ly followed the decision of the senate finance scommittee to recommend rejec. ton of the yoyernment's financial pro gram, as recently adopted by the Cham Der of Deputies! Decision to reject this fiscal program, which has been spon. sored by Poincare as n rAramount issue, was taken by a vote of IS to q.
 Poincare has declared repeatedly in the past few days that unless his financial formula were adopted he would resign. His program provides that econ0mies of one billion francs in gov. ernInent. expenditure be realized by de. crees which the> premier himself would issue. The committees rejection of his plan robs Poincare of one of the main weapons with which he hoped to check the fall of. the franc.
 Substitute Is Proposed
 As substitute for the premier measure. the senate finance committee proposed that the billion francs be saved by reducing the appropriations for each ministry. Moreover, the committees recommended that President MilleraEd and not Poincare, issue the decrees which would accomplish this saving, This action followed charges by PoiA. cares political enemies that he was seeking t0 assume dictatorial powers.
 The committee accepted . proposed tax increase of 20 per cent, almeasure which Poincare has approved.
 Earlier in the day the premier had appeared before the senate finance committee and demanded favorable re port on his financial, projects. exactly as the Chamber of Deputies had approved them. If the measures were not ia vorably, reported. Poineare threatened to resign.
 When he learned of the committees rejection of the economy decrees, Poin- care called a conference of three of his cabinet ministers. Either of the min isters must reconcile themselves to ac. ceptance of the commissions new pro, posals, or precipitate political crisis which will involve Poincare's resigna. sfrn -4 |. ft7s ss [ s !

URGE MEDICAL CORPS
AT VETERANS BUREAU
Physicians Want Permanent Or
ganization, as Present System
Is Believed Inefficient.

Pointing out that many physicians
are serving the United States Vet
erans' Bureau "at a financial sacri-
fice," the bureaus medical council
yesterday recommended that immediate
steps be taken to secure legislation
to establish a medical corps in the
bureau with higher rates of pay for
all medical personnel.
1t was the consensus expressed in
the council that unless the bureau is
placed in a position to offer a perma-
nent career to physicians it would
be impossible to obtain the high type
OF men necessary.
An independent medical board,
working with the Government per-
sonnel, was recommended in a report
by DR.. II. A. Pattison to make a COM
plete survey for diagnosis of tuber-
cular and neuropsychiatric cases in
order to segregate in appropriate
hospitals the two types of disease.
The council emphasized the grave
Importance of the cure and relief
of the sick as distinguished from
compensation and insurance.
DIR. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president
Of Stanford University, is permanent
chairman of the council. Further
recommendations were expected to
be made by the council at it's final
session this afternoon.

Smelling Company
Drops 2-Year Hunt
For Huge Meteor
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., November
1.-THE United States Smelling
and Refining Company of Boston
has discontinued operations to To-
cate a meteor in Meteor Mountain,
east of Flagstaff, and the plant
machinery is being dismantled to
be moved to the company's site
of operations at Oatman, it is
learned here.
The company has been drilling
in Meteor Mountain for two years
to locate a meteor which is sup
posed to have fallen and buried it
self to a great depth. Fragments
about the crater contained con-
siderable platinum and the opera
tors hoped to locate a main body.
1T was reported last Winter that
the workers had located the mete-
or and would begin mining opera
tions at once, but nothing OF value
developed and the removal of the
machinery indicates that the hunt
was futile.
