Guards Provided The monev taken in at the various ticket selling locations during the week will be gathered by the armored car and placed in a special compartment that is surrounded with thick steel walls. There armed guards have been assigned to attend the money carrying automobile all through the week. This precaution was taken after Wilson and Barker had received assurances from all over the state that this year’s attendance and State fair receipts will be larger than those of any previous year. The reports front county agents and farm bureau officials all over Indiana indicate that the quotas fixed for their counties will be exceeded in this year’s attendance, and in Indianapolis It is believed more than the estimated 150,000 State fair visitors will be admitted to the grounds during fair week.

Cheesecloth Garb Makes a ‘Spirit’ of Woman Medium Rags Form Ectoplasm, Reporter Investigating Chesterfield Camp Discovers.
Note: This is the fourth of a serifs of articles by Virginia Swain, reporter for NF.A Service, revealing practices of spiritualists ;u.d mediums at Camp Chesterfield. Ir.d., a national rendezvous for mediums. By Virginia Swain S PA Service W riter IIE ST HK F HOLD, Ind., Aug. 28.—My “brother” advanced I from the cabinet —but not far. The materializing circle of Mrs. Mary Murphy Lydy, a medium here, gaped at him. He was the first male spirit to he produced. I was viewed with envious eyes by the other believers in spirit return who had received no such mark of distinction, Male spirits seldom come out into the room, as female spirits do, possibly because trousers are hard to put on in the narrow space of the cabinet. The medium compromises upon a long black robe, with merely a white shirt front and a tie, to give the masculine note. “Sister!” he whispered, “do you see my tie?” Stammers “Yes” To this startling question from spiritdom, I replied a stammering “Yes.” I did see his tie and his shirt front and also the white nightie of the medium's female costume projection between the black folds of his robe. "Tell mother I’ll be there,” he whispered. “Where?” I asked. “Why, in the home, to comfort her, of course,” he replied. And then again, as if to make sure of convincing me, he whispered, “Do you see my tie?” Melts Into A'ir I was then told by the medium’s helpers that I might bow my head and receive the blessing of the spirit. The two women tending the cabinet grasped my hands, to “make the forces stronger.” I bowed my head and my “brother” laid his hand upon it. “See!” cried the women. “He is dematerilizing before our eyes.’’ The black-robed figure had slumped to a kneeling position, and the curtains came together with a quick jerk about him. “Melted right into thin air,” said the women to the awe struck crowd. Creaking Gives It Away But a creaking within the cabinet) j indicated the haste with which some one was changing apparel, “Please sing some more,” piped j the voice of Sunflower, the child 1 guide. And lustily we sang “Till We Meet Again,” thereby covering j the commotion within the cabinet. | Mrs. Lydy is a woman of some j bulk, whose maniplations of materll- j ized spirits are not so facile as they : once were. Next appeared a spirit carrying something in its arms. The crippled i man sitting beside me burst In to sobs. “It’s Sally and her baby,” he choked, staggering on his crutches I toward the form, and bending over to catch a glimpse of the spirit infant. Indian Maid Appears But with jealous solicitude, the spirit of Sally snatched her burden of rags away from him and disappeared into the cabinet. Next issued from the black curtains the form of Tiger Lily, an Indian maid. “She's going to weave some ectoplasm for you,” piped the child. Sunflower, again. Ectoplasm is the strange sub-

stance supposed to envelope the atral body, and to furnish material for the materialized forms of spirits. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle hits published photographs of spirit faces enveloped In folds of ectoplasm, and many mediums have been canght with yards of the stuff concealed in their clothing. “Spirit” Larks Grace One En-glish meduim used "ectoplasm'' so gossamer In texture that she could swallow her spirit robe anil I disgorge it upon occasion. But the spiiit ectoplasm used at Chesterfield is no such elaborate stuff. It is a garden variety of cheesecloth or at best a thin china silk. Tiger Lily swayed from side to side ! of the circle, managing her ponderous form remarkably well, but scarcely with spirit grace. She began to “weave ectoplasm” from the crowd, making passes in the air above our heads. The ectoplasm came out in a rippling scarf from the bosom of her gown. She flourished it al>ove our heads and vanished. The final proof of spirit materialization had been given us. Mrs. Mary Langley of Covirtgton. Ky., whose materializing seances at Chesterfield rival Mrs. Lydy’s in popularity, uses ectoplasm of another variety. In her circle I was introduced to the spirit of my grandmother, who bowed and curtseyed to me and swayed between the curt tins, bub not bt fo>o I had had time to see the top of her muslin nightgown, edged with crocheted lace, and the night cap of soiled white linen. The looms of heaven turn out strange wares. NEXT: The mystery of the two gold teeth. POLICE ARREST DRIVER Motorist Alleged to Have Failed to Stop Monday. As the result of an automobile accident Monday, H. T. Loughery, 54, of 668 N. Capitol Ave., is under arrest today on charges of assault and battery and failure to stop after an accident.

Hoosiers Call on New Bu XEA Srrrirc WASHINGTON. Aug. 28. Following announcement that a small fortune is found annually in dead letter mail, Postmaster General New is being deluged with thousands of letters, hundreds of which are from Hoosiers, asking a slice in the money. Because New is from Indiana it seems that many there believe they should have first chance at the money. A Muncle girl, 14, wrote that rhe was : member of a large family wit. 7 a widowed mother, and would appreciate “just any portion” allowed her. A Kokomo woman wanted to borrow $5,000 to live on until her husband made good on his patented devices.

NEW YORK ST. BATTLE OPENS Property Owners Write to City Orficials. Property owners of E. New York St. have opened their battle to restrict widening of that thoroughfare to forty feet instead of fifty-four feet recommended by the city plan commission. They have written Mayor Shank, members of the council and plan commission and all city candidates, asking their views on the improvement. Elimination of jogs and establishing building lines will result in ample facilities for traffic with a street forty feet wide, the property owners contend. City plan commission members assert that It would be useless to touch the street unless it is widened to fifty-four feet to provide a main highway to the east part of the city. LAWN SOCIAL TONIGHT Members of the Kum-Join-Us class of the Roberts Park M. E. Sunday school will give a lawn fete this evening at the church. The church orchestra will provide music. Mrs. L. E.

General Lincoln C. Andrews says the most surprising thing lo him about men who patronize a boot logger is their eollossal gullibility. Disliking exaggeration, lie paused over the phrase. “Yes,” lie decided, “that’s it. Their eollossal gullibility.” Andrews, who was explaining for the first time his plans for enforcing prohibition, said he had in ndnd the educaton of. consumers of “genuine Scotrh whisky” and other allegedly Imported liquor. “We might let them know what they are drinking,” he proposed. Bulletin Proposed Treasury bulletins, showing how much of what th-? bootlegger sells is more or less poison and how little of It is genuine, may he prepared and issued periodically. “It is amazing to me,” he continued. “how men who have common sense in other matters seem to accept without question the statements of men they know to be criminals, violators of their country’s laws.” Andrews hopes to work through the churches, the Y.
