SPIRITUALISTS URGED
TO STUDY OF DEATH
Author Would Inquire Into It's Re-
lation to Survival as Phase
of Psychics.
By the Associated Press.


WORCESTER, Mass, December TO-
"A study of death itself in relation
to survival as a phase of psychic re-
search long neglected was urged last
night by Mrs Mary Austin before the
Clark University Symposium on Spir-
itualism. The paper by Mrs. Austin.
author of several novels and plays,
laid chiefly in the. Southwest, was read
by Prof. Carl Murchison, chairman of
the symposium.
From her long experience with ami
mails and persons who deal with them
Mrs Austin felt the investiga ton
should begin with the death customs
of the younger brothers of mankind"
She pointed to the grief of animals
over the death of a mate or master,
their killings, other than for food. and
their actions in peril as linking them
to the Dawn Man" and indicating
psychic side of their nature.
Mrs. Austin dwelt on death legends
Of the American Indians and said that
the fear of death among primitive peo-
pie dminishes the farther back one
studies.
1T would be interesting to have all
this material set in order with view
to realizing how far the idea Of death,
as involving discontinuance. is in
StinctiVe to man, or to- what extent
it is ia tionalization of later observ-
ances," she said.

MARCONI ANNULMENT
WILL BE KEPT SECRET
Sacred Rota Tribunal Acts on Re.
quest of Interested Parties to
Shun Publicity.
BY the Associated Press.


ROML, December 10.-The Sacred
Rota Tribunal, on the request Of the
interested parties, has decided that
the entire proceedings for annulment
of the marriage of William Marconi,
the wireless inventor, to the former
Miss Beatrice O'Brien shall be carried
out under a seal of secrecy.
This decision is understood to have
been reached on the request of Signor
Marconi and his former wife in order
to avoid the unwelcome notoriety
which attended the recent Marlbor-
ough-Vanderbilt annulment.
Cardinal Gasparri. papal secretary
of state, forwarded to the Holy Rota
last month the Marconi annulment
proceedings as investigated and rec
commended by the archdiocese of
Westminster.
The cause presented for nullifica-
ton of the marriage lies in a condi-
ton established between Marconi and
his wife, who Is a daughter of the
fourteenth Baron Inchiquin, before
their wedding in 1905 that they could
separate whenever they so wished.
. Marriage, being held by the Catholic
Church indissoluble, such a condition
would make the Marconi marriage
null in fact.
