Removal ol Embargo . on Tele phone Service Is One Sign of Returning Peace. . TAKEN NEW YORK, June 28. Several hundred "spirit", paintings and drawings are being shown at the Anderson galleries in a public ex hibition. The artists are "immortals," rang ing from little Indian girls' to- a master of revels of the Spanish court in the last century, and from familiar New England ghosts to Italians and Armenians. These "im mortals" have executed their works with the, corporeal assistance of five persons now . living Mrs. Helen Wells of 600 West 138th street; Frederick Louis Thompson, a dis covery of the late Dr. Hyslop; P. Marion Spore, a young woman; Mrs. Julia Forrest and Emily Talmadge. Each of these five is said to be without training and without nat ural talent when they work with out invoking the ghostly painters who are alleged, to guide their hands. None of the paintings and drawings is a great work of art, but many are striking. Spirit Guides Hands. , The spirit of Eswald. master of entertainment for Alfonso III of Spain alleged to have been ecuted for a caricature of a lady who pleased the monarch seizes the hands of Mrs. Wells and draws pictures with equal skill, whether they are upside down or right side up to the woman herself, according to her account. The work of Eswald is marked by decoration in - an extravagant style. In which plants flower into ani mals and human faces. One draw ing which a few feet away appears to be conventional ornament, on close scrutiny develops more than BO faces. Mrs. Wells says that a Spanish diplomat named I)r. Blanco recently cross-examined through her the spiriff of Eswald and that they re hearsed much of the imperial scan dal of Eswald's period Eswald making his answers through her, although she was in deepest ignor ance of the follies of the court which were being muckraked with her automatic assistance. Elderly Lady Is Skeptic. Mrs. Wells, an elderly lady, said that she was a skeptic of the mpst stubborn school until four years afjo when she began to receive and write messages from her son after his death. He brought in three little Indian girls "White Wings," "Wild Rose" and "Morning Glory' who demanded crayons and have maintained a considerable output of colored pictures of roses and flow ers, drawn in a crude, simple style, which is in violent contrast tn th ornate and bizarre fancies which are produced by Mrs. Well's hands when theji are under the pilotage of the sophisticated soul of Eswald. .Not only artists but scientists, philosophers and preachers use the secretarial services of Mrs. Wells. A considerable clique of astronom ers dictate posthumous tt-eatises to her. One of the astronomers wrote with her hand a monograph' entitled "The Birth of a Planet," which con tested the nebular hypothesis of La Place. Kant and Herschel and at tributed the formation of the solar system to the slow aggregation of particles m space under the action of gravity. Growing like a snow ball with the capture of new par ticles and obtaining a whirling mo tion from the impact of other par tides and colonies of particles, the original group gradually grew and eventually became the earth, while the sun and other planets were be ing eiaooratea ty similar process Ancient Spook Dictates. This dissertation with the proofs annexed was dictated o her, she said, by the spirit of Alonzo P. Mathewson, who was an eighteenth century English astronomer, she said. Mrs. Wells said that she was personally ignorant of the fact that any other scientist had ever sug gested such a theory until long after the essay had been dictated to her' by Mathewson. Last fall, however, she read a newspaper ac count of an address by Thomas C. Chamberlin, setting forth some de velopment of the planetesmeal theory which he originally proposed a quarter of a century ago. Mrs. Wells says that departed scientists keep in touch with the work of their successors on earth and that Mathewson's attack on the nebular hypothesis might be based on the researches of the living Chamberlin. Erasmus is much interested in the spirit writing, she said. The old schoolman does not communicate himself, but is oten present when others are dictating to her. Lin guistic troubles do not exist, Mrs. Wells said, because the spirits are prodigious students and can acquire a, modern language in no time. Poet Emerson Writes. Ralph Waldo Emerson, through Mrs. Wells, has issued a postcript to his essays. Cornelius Jansen, Bishop of Ypres 300 years ago, fre quently avails himself of Mrs. Wells' powers of automatic writing. So do many others. She gave an exhibi tion at the Anderson galleries yes terday in which Eswald indulged ina little chit-chat, while her brother, an Ann Arbor student, dead for more than half a century, told of the songs he and his fellow stu dents used to sing and complimented that seat of learning on the in creasing breadth of its theological teaching. Through Mrs. Wells the spirit of f Eswald contributed an introductory note to the announcement of the ex hibition, in which he' concluded: "We submit withi pleasure our work for your inspection, with the one olsject in view for, which these pictures were drawn to prove that we are not dead." From an artistic point of view the work done through the hand of Emily Talmadge is considered the best. Much of this is merely geo metrical, but shows a remarkable color sense, according to Walter N. i Grant. Some of the work done through Mrs. Julia Forrest main ly repeat patterns, geometrical and arabesque are remarkable. The windswept landscapes of Frederick Louis Thompson are better known ' and have been celebrated in vol umes by Hyslop and others. The most arresting paintings of the lot arethose done through the mortal agency of F. Marion Spore, Photo From Keystone yiew Co. MRS. ANNA DICKIE OLESOST. Mrs. Anna Dickie Oleson, who has been nominated for the United States senate from Minnesota on the democratic ticket, the first time a woman has been nominated in the history of the country with the indorse ment, of a major political party. She will oppose Senator Kellogg on the republican ticket. V t DUBLIN,-July 7 (By the Asso ciated Press.) Approximately 700 irregulars were taken prisoner by the national "army during the strug gle in Dublin, which was brought to a virtual close by the surrender of the remnants of the republicans in the Sackville-street area Wednes day. ; - j " .. - Dublin today showed signs of set tling down again . after the1 pro longed period of destructive hostili ties in the heart of the city. It the week's hostilities Dublin lost no less than seven of her hotels and now has 20 less hostelnes than in 1914. - One of the signs of the return toward normal conditions was the removal today of the embargo which had been put upon the' telephone service. Telegrams 'were sent from Dublin across the channel to theatrical artists that they could safely come to Ireland. young woman, who has covered much canvas with, uncouth and daz zling work. There are bulbed and gold-plated buildings of a violent Byzantine ype, gorgeous pagodas with, a range of Fujiyamas in the background and high towers over and about which enameled serpents are peacefully slithering. Her pic tures of flowers and still life are really base relief in color, the paint being applied with the knife to the depth of an inch or more. . Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has vis ited the galleries and looked the pictures over, delivering thei fol lowing judgment: I was very much interested in ECLIPSE STUDENTS SAIL THIRD SCIENTIFIC EXPEDI TION OFF TO AUSTRALIA.

' La Follete, republican, Wis consin, opened his big guns on the tariff bill, predicting over throw of majority party un less methods changed. Amendment offered to traiff bill by Sterling, republican, South Dakota, extending three-mile limit to 18 miles. the spirit pictures. Of course, not having investigated the matter, I cannot tell how, much of this work is due to spirit control. A man in my position has to be very careful of his statements because skeptics will immediately piek up any flaws. I see no reason, however, why the genuineness of these pictures should be doubted. There is no doubt about the ability of artists who have gone before to continue their work through a sensitive medium. "The work on these pictures seems to be excellent. I wish I had time to spend several days study ing them. It would be worth while." Murderer's Appeal Heard. SALEM, Or., July 7. (Special.)
