DEATH MAY LOSE HORROR Body" Is Likened to Instrument ' Merely Used by Spirit During Its Earthly Sojourn. SHOE RETAILERS BLAMED Tanners and Manufacturers Also Profiteering, Says Economist. WASHINGTON, April 16. T. M. Robertson, an 'economist, employed by the federal trade commission yester day told the senate manufactures committee that retail dealers were principally responsible for high prices of shoes. Tanners and manufacturers, he said, have taken more profits than they should, but the retailers have imposed heavier burdens upon the public than the others. Mr. Robertson said the most effect ive remedy would be for the publio to refuse to patronise merchants who charge excessive prices. The high cost of living was due largely to-"the associated activities of producers and distributors of ne cessities of life," Mr. Robertson said. "In every instance where & thorough investigation has been made of the trade associations by the government, violations of law have been found.' the witness said.

SETTLERS C0MING WEST Influx Said to Be Result of Cham ber's Publicity Work. That Oregon is beginning to receive a considerable influx of settlers as a resu't of the publicity work and or gan' d effort made through the State Cha- oer of Commerce is evidenced by information coming to the office of Secretary Quayle. Three weeks ago a party of men from Alexandria, S. D., called at the office, obtained detail information about several communi ties in the Willamette valley and then left to look over the country. Thurs day a letter came from Alexandria telling tnat tney naa returned, one Man, 67, Suspected of Theft. T.

Firm in the conviction that those who have passed from this life do communicate with their loved ones, and asserting that he has received proofs convincing to him. if not scien tifically established. Sir Oliver Lodge, famous British scientist, held the close attention of an audience of more than 3500 persons for more than two hours Thursday night at the municipal auditoriu . He was introduced by Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of Trinity Epis copal church, who was brief and direct in the remarks with which he opened the lecture. "I am not ashamed to admit a keen and profound Interest in the subject upon which the dis tinguished visitor comes to speak," said the minister, and he then pre sented the eminent scientist as one of the world's greatest men. ' "The most real and vital thing is the ur.Tecn." said Sir Oliver in open ing his address. "The universe is very much larger than we suppose. uur conception of the universe is mis erably Inadequate, and we do know that we cannot judge its limitations by our own solar system. That we are screened from a great deal may be for the Lood of man. Why are we here?. Where are we going? What Is the end? These are Questions that aturally come to us all. I take it that it is this that Is the reason vou are here t- hear what I have to say. "Existence Is Unending-." To all appearance death is the end. Death and the grave is the end of life the spirit leaves the body and passes to the unseen. My message is that nothing that exists entirely passes out of existence." Death need have no horror for mortals, his auditors were told, for it is no more than the develoDment of the larval character of our beings. passing into a more splendid state. The body he likened to an instrument that is used by the spirit to which it belongs during the brief earthly ojourn. Senses are in a large mean- re animal senses, evolved In the truggle for existence and serving to get food and protect life from nat- ral enemies of animal existence. Art makes no appeal to the animal senses, but the appeal is to the higher men tality that is from the spiritual side I human beings. "To appreciate divine creation you must have some kinship to the di vine," he explained. "The reality of the human being Is not the body. My body is not me, it is merely my nstrument. We are in an eternity now. Incarnation is a fact. I do not know about reincarnation. Gravestones Are Llare. We are not put in the grave, and the stone which says 'here lleth' it self lies. The fact is that the SDlrit eaves the body, is -emancipated and goes on free. I want you to think of death not as the end of any thing, but as an epoch in life. I know it because I have been with people who passed through that epoch. You cannot have communi cation without survival. There is no retaking of the material body: the self, the character of the person Is the same after death as before. There Is a continuity of the person. Be yond there must be many states of grace. We shall be with those with whom we have sympathy. Neither a medium nor a genius is so completely screened that he can concentrate on his work here. Those who try to sow dissension between the churches and those who are try- ng to. establish by scientific re search spirit communication or those who believe in the communication, are as mistaken I will not use a stronger term as are those who would bring dissension between the English-speaking peoples of the world. The ministers fly up to the too or tne nm on tne wings or their faith, while we would build our road as we -and I feel that we shall all meet at the top. Some of the broad-minded watch us with Interest and some re sent our erioris ana regard us - as trespassers." Message Methods Explained. Recounting In detail many of the communications received by various mediums throughout the world, of which careful investigations were made, he told especially of the mes sage that came through Mrs. Piper ot Boston. The messages from Mr, Myers, friend and investigator, who died in 1901, and from whom messages were received by mediums in India, in England and Italy, who did not know him personally, and whose messages took the form or cross-messages and parts of messages given to each, the piecing together of which transmit ted the message, plainly in the opin ion of Sir Oliver, designed to prove conclusively that his friend wished to prove the scientific truth of the com munication by the method employed. The experience of mothers to whom messages have come from sons killed in the war were related, each with its particular detail as to-substantiating facts. In one instance a mother, who was nursing in a hospital at Brighton. saw a vision or her son, who appeared to her for a brief time in which the veil was lifted. The mother told no one of it and wondered if it had been an overwrought condition. Then came a message through a medium, who gave the name of the son and th assurance that he had been permitted to appear to his mother and that it was not a dream. He recited ojher in cidents, proved to his own satlsfac tion. but some of them he admitted were not of a character to be termed scientifically convincing. "Messages do come from behind the veil." the scientist declared. "I assert that positively. Not everyone can re ceive them. 1 cannot do that, nor can everyone write a poem or paint a pic ture. There are those who long to aid us here, to advise us and help us to fill our destinies, but it is difficult fo them to find a way to reach us with the messages they would send."

This master mind moves through three acts of the play, the identity being revealed simultaneously with the thrilling denouement which comes with the very last moments of the play. The play Is of very tense mo ment. In which political intrigue and personal revenge run counter. It contains a curiously-interesting ro mance . which is not developed until almost the last curtain. The scenes are laid In Berlin and In : London.- A prologue presents the in formation that the secret service of Germany Is about to send a spy to London, where another of the plot ters has been at work since the be ginning of the war, A girl is sent from Berlin by U-boat to Irish shores and thence Into England and the home of a new minister of the Eng lish cabinet. She poses as a Belgian refugee. She meets a butler, her con federate, and together they plot to undermine the home and professional carer of the cabinet member and con vey their Information to other Ger man operatives. The deafening roars of a London air raid and other war incidents aid materially to heighten the interest One delightfully human touch is the scene between a returned soldier boy and hia mother, but most of "Three Faces East" is written in a serious vein, the keynote being tense through out. It is a perfectly-wrought-out story of intrigue and counter-intrigue told so enthrallingly as to sustain in terest throughout its enactment of a prologue and three scenes. To reveal the mystery of the story in a review of the play would be in this instance quite like turning over to the last chapter in a book to "see how it comes out." To discover for ourselves who was the "master mind" and who was a spy and who wasn't, who was in triguing and who might be trusted, was half the joy of the entertainment last night. Another audJence tonight will have the similar fun and thrills, and again tomorow night tnd at the matinee tomorrow. The presentation gains much by virtue of the splendidly restrained acting of Violet Heming, a beautiful English actress who is of the Martha Hedman type of feminine grace and allure. In the role of Helene of the German intelligence bureau she has opportunity to display the very fine rational acting powers she commands. Her well restrained and admirably simulated exhibitions of calm under fire and affected disinterest when she is most concerned are to be noted with something more than casual in terest. Maurice Freeman's character ization of the butler's role was act ing of a very high order. Besides these two, fully a dozen other principals shared honors in vis ualizing important roles, the entire company being one of carefully chosen interpreters of character. The scenic beauty of the acts, too, is to be praised, a reception hallway in an English home, a beautiful bed room in Ivory and blue, being espe- ELECTRIC DEVICE SIMPLE STATIC POWER TAKEN FROM AIR SAYS IXVEXTOR. Apparatus Containing Two Motors, Generator and Wire Is Set Up. 62 Horsepower Claimed. - An electric apparatus consisting of two motors' and a generator and enough wire to string several pianos has Just been set up by G. Murl Gor- den. of recent local fame. In room E12 of the Couch building and, according to its inventor, will develop 62 horse power by the use of no more elec tricity than is required for an ordi nary Mazda lamp. The apparatus takes the static elec tricity out of the air as it runs and regenerates it to operate its mech anism, according to Mr. Gorden, who gave a demonstration Thursday aft ernoon. Mr. Gorden said the machine would operate a 1000-horse-power mo tor just the same, with a few minor changes. The problem of farm labor would be apparently solved as soon as Mr. Oor den's new apparatus gets into general use. Mr. Gorden recently came into the limelight by the announcement that he had the design of an engine which would make a flight across the Pacific ocean possible. He was also accused of making false statements to procure a loan, but the charges against him were dismissed. MAN REPORTS HOLD-UP Woman Declared to Have Assisted Highwaymen. R. A.
