TIP OF SPIRIT IS COSTLY
Physician Pays $62,000 for Mes
sages From Clara Barton.
WASHINGTON. D. C. Making the
charge that through spiritualistic
messages alleged to come from the
late Clara Barton, founder of the
American Red Cross, he was induced
to turn over $62,000 to Mrs. Mabelle
Rawson Hirons, Dr. James B. Hub
bell has instituted legal action for
the return ot his property. The plain
tiff was secretary to Miss Barton for
30 years and the defendant his life
long fritend.
In his complaint, filed at Rock
ville, Md., Dr. Hubbell asserts that
when Miss Barton died, in 1912. he
owned real estate valued at $50,000,
costly household furniture -and a
claim for $5000 against the town of
Glen Echo, as well as other property.
It was his- cherished plan, he said, to
establish a memorial for Miss Bar
ton. Mrs. Hirons, the plaintiff alleges,
visited him in May, 114, and ex
pressed great interest in his project.
On this occasion. Dr. Hubbell states,
the defendant simulated - a trance,
during which she pretended to be In

communication with the spirit of the
deceased founder of the Red Cross.
According to the complaint, Mrs.
Hirons alleged that Miss Barton di
rected her to tell Dr. Hubbell that
she (the defendant) had come to help
carry out his plan and that he should
turn over all his property to her.
Dr. Hubbell. the petition states,
was much affected and believing it
was possible for departed spirits to
communicate with their earthly
friends through certain persons
known as mediums, conveyed the rea
estate of Mrs. Hirons, together with
$4500 he had received under Miss Bar
ton's will, $2000 he borrowed from
relatives and $4100 in Glen Echo
bonds, all of which were to be used
in furtherance of the memorial.
Sixty days ago Dr. Hubbell alleges
he heard Mrs. Hirons say to a neigh
bor that "she had given up all
thought of a memorial to Clara Bar
ton and that she was not worthy
of it."
So shocked and up3et was Dr. Hub
bell, according to the bill, that he
was unable for a time to 'collect the
data necessary for the suit which he
now brings.
Dr. Edward C. Peter signed a tern
porary bill restraining Mrs. Hirons
from disposing of any of the property
mentioned in the bill.
FISCHER HELD PSYCHIC
Mental Telepathy Is Attributed to
Forecast of Explosion.
NEW YORK. Psychic knowledgi
of an impending disaster Is as feas
ible as though it were "picked up'
by a radio operator, whose instru
ment chanced to be "tuned," or with
in receiving range of a wireless mes
sage, according to Dr. Walter K.
Prince, acting director of the Ameri
can Institute for Scientific Research
founded by the lato Professor James
H. Hyslop, authority on psychology.
Dr. Prince declared that the asser
tion of Edwin P. Fischer, detained at
Hamilton, Ontario, that his postcard
warnings to friends here of the Wall
street explosion were inspired by
psychic phenomena, "were highly
within the realm of possibility. Dr,
Prince cited two striking cases of a
train wreck and woman's suicide, pre
monition of which, he said, he had
received in dreams and which were
borne out in detail the following day.
it. rrince said the mind of ischer,
whose brother-in-law, Robert A.
Pope, declared he had possessed. psy
chic powers for a number of years,
evidently was "tuned" to those who
plotted the explosion, receiving tele
pathic impressions of the tragedy
that later occurred. He eaid th ex
pressions or thoughts of the con
spirators thus could have been regis
tered on the abnormal mind of
Fischer.
"It is reasonable to suppose that
Fischer's mind, being "tuned" in har
mony with the workings of the gninds
of those who planned the disaster, re
ceived the important fact that such
an occurrence was to happen," he
said, "but misread the signal as to the
exact time, which accounted for the
fact that his written warnings fixed
the time of the disaster about 24
hours ahead of 'its actual happen
ing. "I regard it as a proven fact by a
large number of authentic instances
known to me by personal inspection,
or other good evidence, that there is
such a thing as predicting of future
events. I regard these instances as
usually of the nature of supernormal
reasoning. At the intention to com
mit me nan street crime was un
doubtedly in the minds of some per
sons for days previous, it is conceiv
able that Fischer got his information
by a quasi-auditory process, whether
or not it was intended for him. It
likewise is possible that he got it by
telepathy from living minds."

The climax came when we reached
port at 'Antwerp. It was evident a
strike was imminent not a strike
against the international company for
shorter hours; not a strike for more
travel experiences, but a strike against
boiled fish! Antwerp, with its wonder
ful shipping yards since the war the
largest in Europe its museums, its
"rubens" and international Olympic
games, was cut to the quick when one
and all of our party of 40 persons
were seen to throw up their hands in
dismay, crying, "Take it away; no
more boiled fish."
The strike was not lifted until we
reached The Hague, here in Holland,
where we found every good thing
awaiting us. How we love Holland

Thanks Go to Knight.
Now a bit more about Antwerp, for
I shall not pass this way again. We
owe a debt of gratitude to Professor
Emille Wambache, an officer of the
king, knighted for his musical ability
when but 28 years old by the king of
Belgium. He is a director of the
Antwerp conservatory of music, with
1500 students, a member of the Royal
academy, membership in which i3 lim
ited to 40 and entrance only gained
by the death of a member. His wife.
well-known artist, sending many
marine pictures to the United States,
is a relative of Charles Gounod, the
musician who gave such wonderfully
sweet music to the world, and Jean
Gounod, the son, is a frequent visitor
in the Wambache castle, Two even
ings the family entertained our party
at the castle. 1 he protessor played
the violin, the piano and later served
refreshments. For 25 years he has
been director of the Notre Dame ca
thedral, known all over the continent
and world as the "Church of Our
Lady," containing the original Rubens
paintings.
One oratorio has been produced in
Antwerp S8 times and will be pre
sented in Montreal, Canada, in No
vember. At the national day, July 21,
Professor Wambache's "Glorification
of the Army" was given with many
choirs and 2000 children singing in the
choruses. The younger son is an art
ist of no little ability and escorted us
to many places of interest in Antwerp.
The other son, Jean, was in the Amer
ican Y. M. C. A. in France and wears
a ring, the gift of an American boy.
The story of Professor Wambache's
oratorios, sonatas ana operas, to
number, has been given to me. 1
shall present it to the Matinee Musi
cal and Harmony clun of the Indian,
apolis council with his compliments.
Invaders Vsr Castlr.
The Wambache castle was bombard
ed by the Germans, taken by them and
for almost two years the Germans
lived in the castle, using everything
as if it belonged to them. The door
latches, all brass, chandeliers, carpels
and many things were destroyed, Irv
MAL
eluding an oratorio and manuscript,
but the paintings and piano were not
touched. For the most part Antwerp
was not devastated as were the other
and smaller cities of Belgium, the rea
son Being that the German army
looked forward to having permanent
posession in a short time, and the
harbors, now averaging more than
6000 vessels a year from every coun
try in the world, were not to be de
stroyed. Mrs. Wambache has an in
jured' mouth yet from clinching false
teetn when the castle was being bom
barded. A number of persons were
killed in the street before the old
castle." She told this experience to
me herself. She said one of the worst
bombardments Antwerp endured was
by the British airplanes, by mistake,
the aviators believing Antwerp was
Cologne, Germany. T'hey did not
learn their mistake until a number
were killed.
In the museum here, as at The
Hague, it is Rembrandt that takes the
initiative, Rembrandt, whom Holland
claims as her very own. I could write
for hours on the paintings and other
things of interest, but cannot take the
space now. I feel that I shall come
home a whole museum, myself, es
pecially after, studying in almost
every art gallery in Europe the story
of life, the beginning of woman, the
serpent and the downfall, which no
museum or art gallery omits. With
it all I am not quite sure whether it
was the apple or the woman that has
brought man to his present condition
and possessions in the world; how
ever, my pencil will show woman
through it all, kneeling at the cross,
looking up to the light In humble and
grateful adoration for the heights she
has and will attain because of the
power God gave her to lead and wield
influence in an onward and upward
direction. -
Visit Queen's 'Palace.
The queen's palace- came next.
Throughout every nook and cranny of
Wilhelminas palace have we been.
All is in beautiful white marble. The
queen had arranged a reception for
our party when the itinerary was made
but the delay of our boat one week
in leaving New York spoiled the plans.
Queen Wilhelmina was compelled to
leave for her winter home in the
country ten days before our arrival
and the minister to India from Hol
land, now home here, met our party at
the train with the message "bad news
for you, as the queen had to go, but
left me to extend to you every cour
tesy she would have done.
I have written down everything
seen for friends and will give it all in
time, from the imperial ballroom, its
furnishings, to the paintings, statues
presented by different Dutch colonies,
reception halls, dining and waiting
rooms, to the royal gardens.
After the queen's palace came the
peace palace, money for which was
given by Andrew Carnegie. Again the
subject is too big for one letter. How
good to walk into a palace and see
William McKinley's picture hanging
upon the wall! Every country gave to
the furnishings of the palace. The in
terior wood is from Brazil, yellow
marble from Italy, . Delph potteries
and carpets from Holland, art win
dows from England and other fur
nishings from many other countries.
In the wing of the library was found
ed The Hague Academy of Interna
tional Law. In -this academy lectures
are delivered from July until October.
LONDONER TELLS OF VISIT
Americans Found Police, but Po
v lice Dominate Everything.
LONDON. H. W. Nevinson. a well
known journalist, lecturing on
"America" at the National Liberal
club here, said his visit to the United
States had upset nearly all his pre
conceived notions about Americans.
He said he found Americans most
polite, very kind and hospitable and
only - too ready to take trouble for
others. He did rjpt And them partic
ularly businesslike and hard working.
One thing that struck him as terrible
was the individual subserviance to
the state and the tendency of the po
lice to dominate everything and he
gave instances of what he regarded
as ea.vage sentences of ten years im
prisonment on a "perfectly innocent
and harmless gentleman" and of 15
years upon a girl of 20, who had dis
tributed a pamphlet urging American
soldiers not to fight against Russia.
There was no real political labor
party in America, which was 40 years
behind England in that matter. Con
cerning anti-English feeling in Amer
ica, he said he was constantly con
fronted by the shame Qf Britain's
treatment of Ireland and he confessed
that when' he found! the house of
commons jeering at dying men and
heaping insults on a country strug
gling for political freedom, it was
almost like going home and seein
his own mother drunk on the floor.
RUSSIA HAS NO EXPORTS
Hope That Europe Maj Obtain
Cereals and Klax Unfounded.
LONDON. Hope that Europe may
obtain any cereals or flax from soviet
Rursia is entirely unfounded, says
a circular from 'the Russian libera
tion committee in London, an anti
bolshevist organization.
The circular recalls that according
to the food commissariat's plans
roughly 7.250.000 tons of breadstuffs
were to be delivered to the soviet
government by December 1. but,
owing to the breakdown of transpor
tation the Siberian quota of 2,000,000
tons can only be brought in with the
greatest difficulty, while the Caucas
tan estimated output of 1,750,000 tons
cannot be relied upon owing to the
military operations in that region.
Quoting the bolshevist Investia for
the statement that up to October
only 100,000 tons af various cereals
had been delivered, the circular points
out that it will be obviously impossi
ble to bring in the deficit of 7,150,000
tons by December 1.
As regards flax, the circular again
quotes bolshevist figures showing that
the area sown in l20-nad shrunk to
one-fifth of the pre-war area. The
present crop was estimated at a mere
55,000 tons, from which, the circul
deduces, little or nothing will be
available for export.
MAYOR 0WNS0NLY CHAIR
Junior Red Cross Makes It Possible
for Others ot Sit Down.
WASHIXGTOX. For many months
the little city of Coulogne, in the
Aisne region of France, possessed but
a sinerle chair, and it was the prop
erty of the mayor. It was officiary
known as "the chair" until Junior
Red Cross of America sent to that
city a motor truck loaded with chairs
and tables that had been made by
the boys of America in their manual
training schools. Last year thousands
of these articles ofv furniture were
sent to the devastated areas of
France.
Colonel H. S. Todd and Bicknell of
the Red Cross recently went to Cha
mery to adjust some difficulties that
had arisen to block construction of
the Quentin Roosevelt memorial and
fountain, the details of which had
been entrusted to the American Red
Cross by the late ex-President Roose
velt. At Chamery they learned that
the mayor resided in Coulog-ne, and
when they located him there he apol
ogized for having- left the city's only
chair at the town hall. All were forced
to stand throughout the visit.
An exchange of views quickly ad
justed matters pertaining, to the me-
morlal fountain and as the Red Cross
representatives departed for Paris
they promised to relieve the solitude
of that town chair. Soon afterward
the vanload of Junior Red Cross fur
niture was sent to Coulogne, and the
next time Colonel Todd visitd the
little city it was proudly pointed out
that the entire company gathered to
confer with him was seated, and tlte
gratitude was voiced to the American
lads who had contributed the needed
tables and chairs.
Italy Attacks Illiteracy.
ROME. Two thousand new schools
are to be opened as soon as possible
to combat illiteracy in Italy and a
first appropriation has been made of
12,000.000 lire. One hundred thou
sand teachers are needed and some
80.000 have already been engaged.
