Nino Pecararo. mystic" whom the late
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle admitted won
him over to spir1tualism, last night
declared his Seances were "all fake"
I've never seen ghost and don't
believe any one else ever has" he said.
I'm sick and tired of giving SeanceS
and having SpiritualiSm reap the profit.
When ghosts appear at my seanceS they
are Nino Pecararo in the flesh"
To prove his point he allowed him
self to be securely bound, then freed
himself and wrote two messages. One
was from Doyle" and the other from
Houdini." The handwriting compared
favorably with authentic originals Of
the famous men.
In addition Pecararo passed on two
messages" from dead persons to news
paper men present and also had ghost
hands" play an accordion.
The demonstration was given in the
apartment of Joseph Dunninger, chair
man of a committee named by a Scien-
tific magazine to expose fake spiritual
lists. Dunninger said more than $5,000,-
900 was spent annually in New York
alone on spiritualistic work.
He added, Conan Doyle had implicit
faith in Nino and wrote that spiritualism
rises or falls by him"
Pecararo has made his living by CIV
more than 2,o00 Seances in IL years.
He said re would devote himself here
after to painting and writing with, per-
haps, turn at vaudeville.

RELIEF FROM DOUBLE
TAXATION is SOUGHT
U. S. Chamber of Commerce Finds
American Under Handicap
Abroad.

The United States Chamber Of Com
merce Committee of Federal Taxation
has recommended action looking toward
relief of international double taxation.
A special report said citizens of this
country engaged in business abroad
were subjected to an extra burden by
having to pay taxes to the United States
and the nation in which their opera
tons were conducted.
The committee said "unless some
constructive action is taken, an Ameri-
can engaged in international transac-
tons is likely to find himself at a
distinct disadvantage in comparison
with his foreign competitors"
THE United States Government
should encourage conferences with
foreign governments to further solution
of the problem and be represented at
all general international conferences
held to consider the question.
General legislation. the application
of which is conditioned on reciprocity,
is a valuable method of furthering a
solution"
