Not less than, a dozen psychics and spiritualistic mediums approached Dr. J. Allen Gilbert yesterday, by letter, telephone and in person, to convey to him the secret code he asks in proof of survival after death an authentic message from his wife, who died four years ago. None of the occult seekers possessed' the countersign. "Yes," laughed Dr. Gilbert, "I have had many responses to my challenge, but in no instance has the purported communication been worthy of in terest. At best they are merely wild and random guesses, however they were come by. One medium, a wom an, assured me that it came to her that the countersign was the first few sentences of the marriage ritual. She was wrong, of course, as were all the others. I am yet waiting for a re sponse that will merit attention." Dr. Gilbert's challenge to the. oc cult, wherein he offered to pay 8500 to anyone who could bring a geni'e message from the void, was inspired by an agreement with Mrs. Gilbert, shortly before her death. They had agreed upon a secret countersign, the Inclusion of which in any spiritual istic communication subsequent to her passing was to determine the validity of the message and the fact of sur vival. Repeated endeavors since De cember, 1917, when Mrs. Gilbert died, have failed to establish the authen ticity of many mediumistio messages. In a final attempt the doctor has posted his forfeit and challenged th psychics. , . MUSIC FINALS PLANNED SCHOOL CHILDREN TO COM PETE FOR MEMORY RATING. ROCKY BUTTE SITE URGED Scho61 Director Wants Exposition Buildings for Education. Selection of Rocky Butte as an exposition site and erection cf per manent buildings which at the close of the exposition might be converted into high and grammar school build ings is the suggestion contained in a letter to Mayor Baker signed by E. C. Grant, director of school dis trict No. 3. Mr. Grant maintains that the city's population is traveling eastward, that before the next census is taken Parkrose will be absorbed by Port land and that therefore school facil ities in that district must be secured. He holds that nothing would create better sentiment for the 1925 expo sition than to know that money ex pended for it would,1 in the end, pro vide better school facilities for Port land. , NEW TAILORING GOODS.
