AS she stepped from the car onto the

through the doors apparently untired

EXPECTS TO MEET HoUDINI.
Doyle Writes New York of Plan for the
Spirit World.

Spirit World.
NEW YORK, July Z (Pl.-Four weeks
ago, fearing he had not long to live,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote to a mu-
tual acquaintance in New York about
his long debate in spiritualism with the
late Harry Houdini
Conan Doyle and Houdini were init
mate friends, but for Is years they
differed almost bitterly about spiritual
ism. Il expect to talk it all over with
Houdini in person before very long"
Conan Doyle wrote. II view the prospect
with perfect equanimity. That is what
psychic research does for one"
The letter was written to Bernard M.
L, Ernst, New York attorney, who for
years represented Houdini and who had
served as Conan Doyle's American legal
representative. 1t was written after
the English author had been stricken
suddenly with angina pretoria.
The late Houdini and Conan Doyle
became acquainted in 1915 while Hou-
DIM was playing in London, and their
differences over spiritualism brought
them together. Houdini had been as
sailing as a trick the purported COM
munication between the living and
those in the spirit world, and Conan
Doyle wrote to him at his theater. After
that the men saw each other as often
as Houdini was in London or Conan
Doyle was in New York. Houdini was
often a guest at Conan Doyle's home in
Crowborough, Sussex. But they fought
constantly about spiritualism. and
when Houdini, in his "A Magician
Among the Spirits" made what was al
most @ personal attack on Conan Doyle
for his beliefs, the friendship was nearly
ruptured
When Houdini died, however, In 1928,
Conan Doyle wrote q letter to Mrs
Beatrice Houdini, the magician's widow,
expressing his grief and calling Houdini
"the most remarkable man I ever met"
-Four times Conan Doyle had visited
the United States on lecture tours. He
came first as the author of the Sherlock
Holmes stories-stories which, illustrated
by Frederick Dorr Steele, New York
artist, stamped the great detective on
the minds of readers in the image of
William Gillette, the actor, who PLAYED
Sherlock Holmes on the stage and who
was SteeleS model when he illustrated
the novels.
His last two lecture tours here were
made as an exponent of spiritualism,
although Conan Doyle denied that it
was only in recent years his interest
turned to spiritualism. The Briton said
he had been interested in spiritualism
since the middle nineties, and Houdini
confirmed his friends assertion that
they had argued the question together
before Conan Doyle's son Kingsley was
killed In the World War. Conan DOYLE.
in his last letter to Mr.. Ernest, gave
permission for the publication Of cor
respondence with Houdini about spirit
ualism, letters exchanged over many
years.

4O4 DEATHS TOLL
OF TRIPLE HOLIDAY
Autos and DroWnings Cause

works Fatal to 20.
By the Assocoiated pre,s.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July This years cele-
bration of the Fourth was a triple
jointed affsir-Friday, Saturday and
Sunday-and the Nation paid with 226
additional lives for the extra fun she
had.
The three-day holiday altogether cost
4o4 lives.
Fireworks and toy pistols killed %,
small percentage of the total, yet re-
garded as large, in view Of the restric-
lions against fireworks in most parts of
America. The automobile took l7S
lives, and 121 persons were drowned.
Airplane accidents, heat, heart attacks
induced by holiday excitement, light
ming and other causes connected di-
rectly with the holiday resulted in rs
deaths.
Fourth Fairly Cool.
The Fourth of July itself was a day
Of moderate temperatures in most Sec
tons OF the country, a circumstance
having considerable to do with holding
down the number of deaths from
drowning and prostration. The week
end, however, saw a mounting mer-
curry, with consequent increase in the
lure of bathing beaches and a conse-
quent increase in deaths by drowning
and prostration.
In the Chicago territory yesterday
there was such congestion on the many
beaches as had never before been seen.
Conservative estimates were that more
than 100000 persons sought relief dur
ing the day at the Lake Michigan bath
ing places along the Chicago shore. The
Oak Street Beach, where Gold Coast
and Ghetto meet in bathing suits, was
dense with men, women and children
most OF the day.
Chicago, too, experienced one Of its
most serious traffic jams, with an esti-
mated million automobiles choking her
highways. Probably because fast driv-
ing was next to impossible, there were
only two fatal accidents, both occurring
late last night after thinning traffic
made speeding possible.
Nine Airplane Deaths.
There were nine deaths from airplane
accidents yesterday, and several injuries.
The list of injured through the Nation
from all causes was impossible to esti-
mate accurately, but most certainly ran
into the thousands. In the larger cities
many hundreds were treated for burns
resulting from fireworks.
There were several unusual deaths.
A woman parachute jumper was killed
in Wisconsin when her parachute failed
to open; Wisconsin man dropped dead
of excitement when a member of q
kid" base ball team hit home run;
brother and sister were burned to
death in Duluth in q fire they had
started while playing with matches, and
an S-year- old boy was killed at Madison,
Ill, when his body came in contact with
a wire on pole from which he was
watching a ball game.

There was no doubt in Doyle's mind
about the existence of spirits, both good
and bad. One of his proofs" that
spirits existed was a huge photograph
of himself which depicted the face of
his dead son looking over his shoulder.
He showed this picture to the corre-
spondent and remarked, simply:
Il handled the plate for that picture
myself Nobody else touched it. How
can people doubt when they have such
proof as that?"
Not long ago Sir Arthur said, ct
pledge my honor that spiritualism is
true, and know that spiritualism is in
