SPIRITISM NEEDS STUDY

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.

SULLIVAN
DIES OF PNEUMONIA
Illinois Political Boss Aided

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.
For months Commissioner Bigelow
has waged a vigorous fight to pre
vent the investigation of the claims
by the city. During the last month
he has been joined in this fight by
Commissioner Mann.
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

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.

winter, a number of local orchardists
the past week received shipments
from the Santa Clara valley, Cali

yesterday received one of the heaviest
shipments, an express lot of 25
pounds. Each pound, it was esti
mated, contained 5000 bees. With
the lot Mr. Wing received 12 queens.
"I attribute the loss of my bees
last winter," said Mr. Wing, "to their
weakened condition resulting from
spray poisoning in the summer. They
entered the cold weather so weak
that they were unable to pull
through."

Clashes With Bryan, Carter Har
rison and William R. 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.

Sullivan's differences
dated back to the free silver campaign
of 1896. He had been a delegate to
the democratic national conventions
of 1892 and 1896, but before the elec
tion in the latter year he joined the
"gold democrats." 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
