SIR OLIVER LODGE BELIEVES DEAD
i'm CLOSE CONTACT WITH LIVING
Holds Vast Spirit Army Seeks
to Bridge Gap Between Two
States of Existence.
Scientific Research Is Only
Means of Solving Riddle,
He Tells Hearers.
BY JOHN GUNTHER.

Ry Cable 10 The Star and Chicago Daily News
LONDON. August 21.-Sir. Oliver
Lodge in an interview here has an.
nounced for the first time his belief
in a vast spirit army of dead SOUS
cropping beyond death toward com.
mufication with their fellows sui
on this earth.
He also announced his belief that
research workers in psychic phenom'
ena who have died are in close
scientific contact with co-workers on
this side of the gulf.
In summarizing his views Sir
Oliver very carefully explained that
his own personal faith in survival
had nothing to do with his researches
in spiritistic phenomena. He pointed
out that his only aim was the scien-
tific examination and analysis of that
mass of evidence which had come be-
fore him. AS a person he believed.
But that was not enough. AS
scientist ii was his job to chart OUT
and elucidate and Justify those beliefs
Death Only An Episode"
Il may say" he explained. that
my views have crystalized to convic-
tion on three principles:
Il That human survival is a fact.
-. That under favorable circum-
stances there is every possibility
that some kind of communication
takes place between dead and living
''3. That death is only an episode in
"A continuous existence"
He went on to point out that only
the second point is capable of scien
tific research under controlled condi'
tions at the present time. and that
therefore it was in this direction he
bent his professional interest.
He did not care to talk much about
his son Raymond. But anger glis'
tened on his smooth red cheeks when
he recalled American rumors that

In addition to watching the big
liners and other ships. on which they
will have the sole right to conduct
searches and make seizures, the spe-
cial force also will watch for any
rum smuggling craft venturing into
the harbor. Eight new 36-foot pa
troll boats are being prepared for
the harbor squadron's use. Until
they are delivered, seized rum-run-
ming boats will be used. An annual

ASKS PERMANENT
CEFUND FOR CITY
"Subscriber" to Star Sug-

A suggestion that the charitably
minded people Of Washington make
permanent the ice found, which was
inaugurated here recently as a tenn
porary arrangement to bring relief
to thousands of poor families dur
ing the prolonged hot spell, was
presented to The Star yesterday In
a letter, written by "a subscriber
who is Summering in the Pocono
Mountains of Pennsylvania.

during other hot Summers that
might come our way. Surely all of
us would be glad to contribute in
the beginning as we'll as later when
much suffering has already been
caused.
This would make many so happy.
"a SUBSCRIBER"
AS was stated at the end of the
hot wave, The Star inaugurated the
ice fund to take care Of an exist
ing need. When contributions poured
in at such rate that a fund suf-
fciently large to care for the needy
for some time was accumulated with
in two days, the people were asked
to discontinue contributing until re-
quested again. The arrival of the
present cool weather made additional
doubly unnecessary.
The fund reached a total Of about
ST 900 when it was closed this past
week. and much Of this money re-
mains to be spent for ice for the
moor should the occasion arise later
distribution Of tickets has been
placed entirely in the hands OF

GALES RECEIVES
BISHOPS CORDIALLY
One Sees Hope in Future
Conferences, Despite Firm
Stand of President.
~ the Associated Press

~ the Associated Press
MEXICO CITY, August 21.-Presi-
dent Gales conferred for more than
an hour and a half this evening with
two high Catholic church dignitaries
relative to the religious situation.
They were the Most Rev. Leopoldo
Ruiz F1orez, Archbishop of Michoacan,
and Bishop Diaz of TabascO. Moth
ing was agreed upon. but it is an
nounced that the conferences will be
continued.
President Gales firmly maintained
his attitude that religious services
should be resumed and the church
recognizing the principle that church
buildings are public property. Arch
bishop Ruiz and Bishop DiaZ declared
that the Popes recent instructions
forbade them accepting such pr1n-
ciple.
The conference. which was at
Chapultepec Palace. was most pleas
ant and the president was cordial to
the prelates on their arrival and de-
paIture. After leaving the palace
Bishop Diaz declared he was hopeful
that future meetings would success
fully wipe out all obstacles to a set
tlement.
Amendment Plan Relieves.
Considerable relief was manifested
In all circles today that something
definite has finally emerged in the re-
ligjous controversy--the Roman Calh-
oiic episcopate's plan TO seek congress
sionaI amendment of the constitution.
This would postpone an actual set
tlement if it came at all LOT loiie
time. with the possibility that Con
gress might avoid any clear-cut de-
Cisive action one way or anotHei l.
However, the present plan gives
specific objective, and whether or hoI
the efforts of the church prove run
sul the plan presents solile'nlns t
tangible which heretofore has been
lacking.
The episcopate intends to petition
The Mexican Congress to amend the
religious clauses of the constitution.
This move follows the pronounce
n,ent made by President Gales yes
terday, in reply to communications
from the church officials, that the
episcopate was left free TO make an
attempt to have the fundamental law
pertaining to religion changed. dho
that If the episcopate offered ameho
ments to the constitution he Wouid
NOT use his power to have them WIN
drawn from Congress.
