He is a former owner of a San Francisco ho tel.

TERI Psychological Student Bays Vision at Oakland Cannot Be Explained Away. ' UNITED PRESS LEASED WIXS. Los Angeles, Cal., April 26. Com menting on the vision of the Virgin Mary reported by members of the fam ily of the late Robert Lavery, of Oak land, the Bev. Boynold E. Blight, min ister of the Los Angeles Fellowship, a psychological student, said today: "Experiences such as this reported at Oakland have been common in all ages of history, and psychological re searchers are now, for the first time, making scientific investigation of them. While many of the phenomena may bo explained away, thore stJU remain many singular experiences that cannot be .ex plained by any known law. It may be that the Oakland experience is one of those. . "In any way of thinking, experi ences of this kind prove that wo are surrounded by a spiritual world that at times shines through the material. Ma terialism no longer is tenable. This merely is another proof." CHINA GETS LOAN OF 8125,000,000 UNiTio runs Ulan. n Pekin, April 20.

MING IB EXPLAIN One Eminent Psychologist Holds That Under Certain -IT Proper Conditions ONE CAN SEE A THOUGHT This Listens Good, But Does Not Ex plain How 12 Had and Saw tna Sams Thought. okitbd rassa Uuso wuu. Portland, Ore., pril 26. Much inter est was manifested among psychologists and other students of physio research. . here over the apparation of the Virgin Mary appearing in the death chamber ' of Bobert Lavery, at Oakland, Cal, but were rotlcent about commenting on it. However, most of thorn admit that such an occurrence was possible. Mrs. Alice Weister, president of the Psychology club, said: "In a peculiar psychic condition it is quite posisble to 'see' a thought. To 'see' a thought la no more remarkablo than to photograph it, which has been done over and over again; That is a scientific fact that cannot be disputed. If the conditions were right, it would have been quit possible for these people to have seen a projected thought.' Highly Imagin- ative persons are so often deceived, 1 that it is wiser to suspend judgment un-. ': loss the case Is capable of scientific demonstration." Bev. Father Black, prlost of St. Fran cis church, sold: ' t- "All people with any knowledgo of history know that such apparitions do appear. Take for instance the revel a tion of the Virgin Mary In 1858 to a peasant girl at Lourdes, France. Then there have been, such appe rations in rear own' country, one some years ago In Minnosota. With the brief knowledge at band on f this particular case, it would not be possible to give any con clusive verdict. All I could ay is that such things are possible, and for that reason reasonable credence should be given tho claim made by these 12 peo ple."
