THE MORNING OREGOMAN, THURSDAY, ArillL 15, 1920 SIR OLIVER LODGE VIS TING OT i Noted Scientist Win Speak - "Other World." on SPIRITISM NEEDS STUDY "Probably Takes Long Time to Get -to Heaven," Is Opinion Expressed by Distinguished Investigator. Question for statesmen to answer. ) However, I do believe the English speaking; peoples, at least, should have some organization for their per- j manent peace. . Whether others can . at this time enter into it, I cannot say. I am not for 'the' league, but -a' league." Sir Oliver has been in this country three times, but only on two trips of afiy extent. It was 30 years ago since his last visit and all is greatly changed every where-he goes, he says. He believes that Sir A. Conan Doyle, "a great student who is going about Kngland preaching the gospel (psy chic) because he feels called to." probably will visit America before very long. ROGER SULLIVAN DIES OF PNEUMONIA Illinois Political Boss Aided Wilson in 1912. CITY CONSIDERS CLAIMS COMMITTEE OX AUDITORIUM IS APPOINTED. . Communication with the "other world," by human beings, is so well established that it is now a fact, at least to the entire satisfaction of Sir Oliver Lodge, world-famed scientist and psychological researcher of Eng land, who arrived in Portland from California yesterday afternoon and registered at the Hotel Multnomah. He will lecture in the public audito rium tonight on '"Evidence of Sur vival." That there is survival of men and women after physical death, is fully proved, the distinguished visitor de clared, but he frankly admitted that neither he or any other of the deepest students of the occult have positive knowledge as yet as to how. Many families who suffered separation ty death during the war, he asserted, have been reunited through this solace. Sir Oliver regards the development of occult research as fairly satisfac tory in America, and said that while he cannot say for a certainty that the science of spiritualism will be come generally known, he believes it will in time. It will require very great, determined study, he said, to enable the peoples of the world to understand much of this great source of power. He is now 68 and expects to live at least 10 years more, during which he intends to devote himself to "setting down" in more concrete form in his own writings some of the things he hag discovered and which he has never had the time to record as completely as he wishes for future generations. Sir Oliver Proves Affable. ' Accompanied by Captain Wallace Widdecomb of New York, his secre tary. Sir Oliver has been traveling through the east and south since his arrival in this country last January. Easy of approach and kindly in greet ing, Sir Oliver yesterday afternoon not only placed himself at the dis posal of a reporter, breaking away from penning an article to do so, but he also sat for a photographer, and, the room being rather dark because of the rain, assisted the camera man by letting up some blinds and sug gesting an attitude that would get the best results. "Having Just come from California," laughed Sir Oliver, "I am finding my etlf in a rather wet atmosphere for a dry state. But I understand you meed the rain here, as they did in California. I don't mind it a bit. After sitting for a photograph. Sir Oliver, whose figure is tall, whose hair is white and whose face beams kindness, occupied a convenient seat and was ready to talk. "My long study of the atoms of matter and energy and the ether of space which fills the interstics and which is responsible for both co hesion and gravitation, proves them to be of the greatest important." he said. "There is a great deal of evi dence to support the belief that it seems likely our power will be taken from the atoms of matter direct in the future, instead of by combustion or chemical processes, as now. "I think that ether also has a posi tive psychic significance, as well as a physical significance. I believe that life and mind make use of ether as well as of matter and that this is done in a more permanent way. We use matter as of a space of from 70 to 80 years and then it wears out, as does the human body; but I think th other is ever as good as new. "That there is life after tins phy sical death is established I am not dogmatic as to the manner of that ex istence, but as to the fact of its ex istence I am dogmatic, because I have stablished that fact. Mediums Generally Xeeeaaary. "As to getting into communication with those who have experienced physical death, it is not always pos sible to do it oneself: I have- never been able to do it myself. I have al ways had to go to a medium in fact. I have had many of them, a number very satisfactory." Sir Oliver was asked as to his ex perience in communicating with his own son, and replied that "this has been very" satisfactory." He said he had communicated but once since coming to America, as he does not know the mediums Over here and could not well take up the subject with them without first studying them. The one to whom he went he had previously known in England. "The fact that one cannot communi cate with one's departed save through a medium is nothing at all out of the ordinary, if you stop to think about it." he went on. "If I want to receive an interpretation of Beethoven, for example, do I not have to go to a medium a musical artist for that? Certain it is that I myself cannot o it, for I am not a musical artist. Why should it appear stranger in the one cast than the other? As soon as people know more of the so-called mysteries of the psychic world, why, they will regard this Question more in the light of other great things which have been revealed to the soul or understanding of mankind. "We are so limited we human ani mala that it requires a long time for us to learn about the many wonderful things about us. We are like a horse. M you might say; we can only grasp what we can understand and the rest we have to reach out for and, being human, we can study, and only by long, determined study of this all-lm portant question may we learn about it. There is no short cut, and those who would reap the benefits must study it. "I studied the question for 20 years before I became convinced of the real ities of the psychic life and so I do not wonder t'-pt there are many scoffers or those w.io disbelieve it. I am will ing to be patient with them. I.ffe Beyond la Gradation. . "As I intimated previously, I do not know Just what form the life beyond takes on, but we have much evidence from the departed that It Is a grada tion and that It probably takes a long time to get to heaven. That there is less of change than they expected la the statement of a majority from whom we have heard." Sir Oliver declared himself charmed with American friendliness and said that there In England a dees friend ship for America, "I sincerely hope," said he, ''that no busybodles, by spearing tales ts the contrary, will aetrange as, Wa Jn England are por because of the wa-j taxes era high and w have our trou bles, mjt do ye-s in (his country, and It would not fwrpris me should it ft worse before it gets better," Arked as to his opinion, as to a htttt of, nations, he said, "That is a Mayor Baker and. Commissioners Barbnr and Pier Vote to Adopt Resolution of Investigation. Efforts of City Commissioners Mann and Bigelow to prevent the appoint ment of a committee to Investigate the claims filed against the city by bondsmen for Hans Pederson, who constructed the public auditorium building. failed yesterday, when Mayor Baker and Commissioners Bar bur and Pier voted to adopt the reso lution authorizing the appointment of a committee of three.

The committee authorized by the resolution is composed of W. C. North, W. Y. Masters and Richard Martm Jr. The committee will serve with out conmpensation. Commissioner Bigelow yesterday attempted to prevent the authoriza tion of the investigation on the ground that it . was contrary to the city charter, which provides that all claims against the city for damages must be filed within six months.

Hearst Made Him National Figure. CHICAGO. April 14. Roger C. Sul livan, 69 years of age, democratic leader of Cook county, and prominent in state and national politics for 30 years, died at his home in Chicago today of bronchial pneumonia. . He had been seriously ill a month. I Mr; Sullivan returned to Chicago re-I cently from Hot Springs, Ark., where he had gone for his health after spending a part of the winter at Palm Beach, Fla., and at Washington, where he conferred with political ! leaders. Mr. Sullivan planned to enter the democratic national convention at San Francisco as the leader of the Illinois delegation of 58 with the avowed intention of making that his last appearance as a political leader. Roger Sullivan, condemned in his own state by his opponents as a boss" and more than once read out" of the democratic party by Villiam Bryan, led the movement that final ly resulted in making Woodrow Wil son president of the United States. Sullivan Nomlmir Wllaon. 1 was Sullivan who beaded the democratic delegation from Illinois at the Baltimore convention in 1912. a delegation pledged to Champ Clark, and who after sufficient ballots had been cast to discharge bis obligation to Illinois, switched the vote of the state to Wilson and made his nomi nation possible. Roger Sullivan had been a partici pant in every democratic convention since 1892, and in at least three of the seven he attended, he had been a commanding figure. His. clashes with Bryan and with the Carter Harrison and William R. Hearst faction of the party in his home state, which brought him the title of "boss" from his political en emies, made Sullivan a democratic figure throughout the country. De spite the frequent attacks on his pow er and the fact that many of the in fluential party organs of Illinois were against him, Sullivan was the leader i Illinois for several years. Big Fortune A ce lunula trd ' Roger Sullivan as a business man, had been no less successful than as a politician. Coming to Chicago in 1879 to work in the railroad shops as an apprentice machinist at $1.25 a day, he was reputed to have accumu lated more than $1,000,000. He was born on a farm near Bel- videre, 111., February 2, 1861. His ed ucation was obtained in the public schools and he was first employed as a farm boy at $8 a month. Four years after coming to Chicago, Mr. Sullivan attended his first poli tical meeting, a ward caucus, and from that day dated his interest in politics. In 1890 he was elected to his first political office, a clerk of the probate court. During the Cleve land administration he was appointed government gauger. Those were the only public offices he ever held. In 1914 he was the democratic nominee for United States senator, but was defeated by Senator L. Y. Sherman. President Wilson opposed Sullivan's election. Two years later his friends proposed his name for vice-president, but he refused to enter the race" and insisted on the nomination of Thomas R. Marshall for a second term. with Bryan HOOD RIVER LACKS SPUDS Retailers', Supplies Low ; Orchard ists Liose Stocks by Frosts HOOD" RIVER. Or.. April 14. (Spe cial.)

Two years after the election of President McKinley Sullivan was elected to the state com mittee. In 1900 he helped nominate Bryan at Kansas City. Four years later Sul livan was elected to the' democratic national committee, thereby laying the foundations for one of the bitter est political fights in Illinois demo cratic history. Bryan opened battle in 1908, when he served notice on the democratic state convention that he would not accept the support of the Illinois del egation unless the convention adopted a resolution demanding Sullivan's re tirement from the national committee, Sullivan defeated the resolution and then introduced a resolution indors ing Bryan, which was passed. Sullivan remained a member of the national committee until 1916, despite repeated efforts to oust him. BOY SH0TA CHARIVARI Young Husband, 2 0, Held Pending Investigation of Killing.
