INTERESTED IN
PSYCHIC?

CONTINUED from First Page.)
This paper does not aim to make
converts for such religious sects,
neither does it desire to indicate
that such beliefs are fallacious.
The Times believes that frank,
open, and unbiased discussion of
these topics will be valuable, The
cold white searchlight OF publicity
will not alter truth, although 1t
may disclose untruths.
There is no doubt that psychic
study has attracted many fanatics,
whose ideas and activities are
generally rejected. 1t is also un-
tloubtedly under the guise of
psychic work. 1t would be a
public service to expose these
persons. They constitute a
menace to society, and If any
such are affected adversely, let
no tears fall.
A Service Feature
This feature is instituted di-
rectly as a result of the immense
public interest shown in psychic
matters, and in the desire to be
OF service.
On Monday Jane B. Coates,
nationally known in the world OF
psychic research, will reply to the
question:
What Is the difference, IL any,
between spiritualist and a Tor
tune telIer?"

make the journey and went to the

come and nurse him. and remained
in bed most of the time.
Feeling better on the afternoon
Of January 20. and having decided
to return to New York the follow
ing day, Wan went to the mission
house to see il any mail had ar
rived for him. He found no one
there, and no mail. He went to
the door, in response to the door
bell ringing, informed Kang Ii that
he was alone in the mission, and
shortly thereafter returned to the
hotel.
Wan and Van were in Union Sta
ton the next morning, when Van
was accosted by two Chinese ac-
quaintances, who asked him to help
them cash a check. He went with
one OF the Chinese to the Riggs

velope through the paying teller's
window and was told some time
later that his Identification was in.
