EIGHTEEN BODIES RECOVERED; 17 WERE CHILDREN AND ONE
 WOMAN
DIED FROM sUFFOcAT|ON
HUNDREDS OF FRANTIC MOTH FRS MoRGUE IDENTIFYING
 LITTLE BODIES

QUEBEC, Dec, Is. (P)-Eighteen bodies have been recovered from a fire which swept and destroyed the hospital of the Charles Orphanage. The probable death list will mount, it is thought, after a check up was made of the missing and injured.
 Firemen believe at least 50 lost their lives. The firemen are still un- able to search the ruins on account of the heat from the smouldering, charred ruins.
 The bodies of F children and one woman have thus far been recover ed and it is indicated they had died from suffocation rather than by fire.
 Children Still Asleep
 The walls of the ancient structure collapsed while the fire was at it's height and so rapidly did the flames spread that despite every effort by the nuns, firemen, priests and cit izens, little could be dcne to rescue the youngsters many of whom were so overcome with sleep that they hardly realized what was going on.
 Rescuers Fearless
 The rescuers fearlessIy entered the burning building and returned with children stll half a sleep and many were compelled to jump from win dows. Older children dragged out younger ones with them.
 Two Bodies Identified
 The morgue presented a pitiful sight with the little bodies laid on cold marble slabs and while frantic mothers, by the hundreds, were try ing to indentify their loved ones. Or- ly two of the bodies have been iden- tified thus far.
 Furnace Exploded The fire presumably started from an explosion of the furnace. The staff of nuns and 371 children were asleep in the building when it start ed. The new section of the building,

Plans of the War Department Wei

the coming Winter the Convalescent
Home established temporarily for the
Summer. at 1439 Belmont street, have
been approved by Secretary Davis OF
the War Department. The purpose of
this project is to provide comfort
able home for employees of the War
Department convalescing from an
operation or illness, where they may
have complete rest with proper food
and attention at rates within their
limited means.
"The home" says an official state.
ment, lis to serve the employees to
the best advantage of both employees
and the Government. 1t is intended
to save the employees from the har-
RAISING financial strain of hospital
care, the physical and mental strain
of home cares when the health is be-
low par, and the loss of time from
overfatigue and nervous breakdowns
which might have been prevented by
quiet. proper feeding and complete
rest after Office hours.
There are no regulations to hinder
the broadest use of the house by all
Government personnel. While the
War Department employees would
naturally be taken care of first, the
War Department Welfare Service
extends the facilities of the house to
all Government personnel whenever
space is available and hopes that an"
one in need of special diet or such
rest and care as is provided will COM

POLISH TA[K|NGD
FAILS TO APPEAR
Psychical Research Congress
Argues Over SpirituaIism
and MateriaIiSm.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS. September 30-"Bim." the
Polish talking dog. was scheduled to
do his stuff before the International
Congress for Phychical Research yes
terday. but he failed to appear. and
the delegates had to content them
selves with a discussion of the general
principles of spiritualism. as compared
with materialism. This developed into
an argument between the partisans OF
the respective beliefs.
The spiritualsts took courage from
a rectification made in the paper by
Sir Oliver Lodge. the noted British
scientist. which had been read before
the Congress and was Interpreted as
an indictment of mediums.
Sir Oliver Denies.
Sir Oliver sent word that he never
had uttered the statements attributed
to him. He explained that what he
did say was that. while mediums were
useful, scientists ought to conduct
researches apart from the manifesto
tions obtained through mediums.
A paper by DIR. Hans Driesch of
Leipzig on biology and metaphysics
started the argument between the
materialists and spiritualists. He
concluded that soul and body We're
separate, and that the immortality
of the soul was the best proof in
favor of spiritualism.
DR.. Maxwell of Bordeaux agreed
with him, holding that the latest dis
coveries entirely upset the theory of
materialism.
Daring to Reject.
1.-THE problems of life said DIR.
Maxwell, cannot be solved on the
theory of materialisSl. The theory
of endless spiritual life alone ac-
counts for some of tae phenomena of
existence
Charles Richet. president of the
congress-, declared that he was not
ready to adhere categorically to the
doctrine of spiritualism, but thought
1t very daring to reject the idea, be-
cause manifestations which are
called spiritualism made possible con-
siderable progress in psychic re-
search.

was indicted. The stories also stated that
McCray refused to accept the offer. declar-

The same offer is alleged to have been
repeated later to McCray's chief of counsel
Jas. Noel. by D. C. Stephenson. then head Of
the Ku Klux Khan in Indiana and a polit-
ical power in the State, now serving a life
sentence in State prison for murder. Nc.

Instead Of appointing Mcdonald as Evans
successor in the prosecutors Office. McCray
named VIM H. Remy. who, despite great
political pressure brought to bear to stop
his activities. has relentlessly pushed the
Indiana graft investigation through three
grand juries.

With President Coolidge's return to Wash
ington. the New York World has summed up
his activities in very concrete and inter-
estine form. The World editorial said in
part:
Zone looks back upon this summer in
the Dakota Hills. and from the point OF
view of general public interest finds three
high spots:
First. of course. there is the Presidents
sudden and unexpected announcement in
August. that he did not choose to run.
Second. there is the interesting and
somewhat astonishing fact that in the
whole course of the summer not a single
farm-bloc leader. not single insureent
Western Governor and not a single rebel
Senator has visited the President, though
he pitched his camp conveniently in the
centre of agrarian unrest. Mr.. Coolidge's
official callers. those who came for pur-
poses Of consultation and the resulting
publicity for their ideas in the press, have
consisted Of party hacks like Secretary
Davis and Senator Tess. Representative
Tilson and somebody who was Governor of
Nebraska in the early nineties.
Third, there is the new avalanche of
local-color news which has been let loose
from South Dakota in an unprecedented
flood: Pictures and news stories Of Mr..
Coolidge wearing chaps at cowboy rodeo
Mr.. Coolidge panning gold. Mr.. Coolidge
fishing with the famous worm. Mr.. Coolidge
being presented with tub OF South Da-
kota butter. Mr.. Coolidge receiving buck
skin scroll from the relay-riders OF a re-
vived 'pony-express, Mr.. Coolidge being
christened Leading Eagle lineal descend
ant Of Chief Sitting Bull by a tribe Of
Indians. Mr.. Coolidge joining in chorus
of 500 voices singing Gals Our Pal. and
Mr.. Coolidge being presented with an orna-
mental peace-pipe by the Princess Rose
bud Yellow Robe.
This is Mr.. Coolidge's summer as a
reader Of the news might reconstruct it.
Three themes stand out. Whether there
is any identity Of interest in these three,
however. still remains a matter Of specu-
lation.
1T is possible that Item 2, Mr.. Coolidee's
failure to attract to his summer camp any
of the irreconcilable farm-bloc leaders
who have sworn to make war on him next
winter, may have something to do with
Item l, his decision not to run.
1T is also possible that Item is the
cause rather than the result Of Item 2 !;
that when Mr.. Coolidge went to the Black
Hills he already had decided he would
not be candidate in 1928. and that he
therefore made no attempt to win the polti-
clans of the West.
1T is also possible, finally, that Item
has something to do with Item 8 for there
is noticeable droppins-off in the pannine
Of gold and the wearing of buckskins after
the famous announcement Of Mr.. Coolidge 4
decision not to run"
