By a Shade Napoleon’s Ghost Put Up Good Battle Before Losing; Had Message for Mussolini.

BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Pmi Staff Corre.pondent NEW YORK, July 28—Ghosts may come and g'noats may go, but there’ll never be another spirit quite like that of Napoleon. The little corporal “came through” at a seance, held in the Broadway offices of a local lawyer. He manifested himsell, one might say, with a bang. Some twenty persons had gathered for the seance. Nino Pecararo, the medium, was bound hand and foot by Joseph Dunninger, compatriot of the late Houdini. and placed in the cabinet. The seance dragged along with a good deal of persiflage for perhaps an hour. Various spirits were produced, including that of Theodore Roosevelt, who performed in a most amazing manner. The room, of course, was totally dark. Suddenly, and without warning, a mighty screech came out of the cabinet. The reaction of the audience was phenomenal in itself. At least half of the guests sort of leaped up in the air and did fair bits of screeching themselves. The rough rider did about three of these eerie whoops during the evening, pleasing nobody but himself. mam THEN Dunninger asked if the spirit of Napoleon could be fetched back to Broadway for a short spell The request had no more than been uttered when the man of destiny spake forth. Tin Napoleon!” came a deepthroated voice out of the cabinet. “Is that you, Napoleon?” asked the skeptical Dunninger. “Wee, wet!” said Napoleon. That statement was the only French he used during the seance, but it was sufficient to convince a numbar of those present that the Corsican’s ghost was actually in the box. In fact, from then on Napoleon talked in English with a marked Italian accent. He said he lad an important message for Mussolini. “Send word to Mussolini,” said Napoleon, “that he will go to war , with France next year. Tell him ! that he will win and that I’ll be glad, j I don’t like that darn France, any- , way.” A young man, seated near the cabinet, spoke up. “Say, Napoleon." he said, “could you come out and let us see you tonight? Come on, be a sport, Napoleon. Just last week my grandfather came out and patted me on the head, so you ought to be able to do it.” “Sure,” droned the emperor, “I'll come out.” Nothing happened, however, so the young mar reiterated his request. “Manifest, Napoleon,” he urged. •Come forth, sire. Manifest yourself for the world. Come on, you . can do It” mm * WHEREUPON Napoleon manifested himself head first. He came out of the cabinet body and soul and there was a great to-do in the dark room. The man of destiny landed on the floor in the middle of the crowd and immediately started flopping around like a decapitated hen. Several women screamed and the young man who had been so urgent toward the emperor received a smart kick on the ankle. This threshing about or* the floor lasted fully five minutes. Four husky men tried to grab and hold Napoleon, but he was like a 150pound tarpon in a rowboat. Chairs and tables were kicked over. No one could find the light switch and the room continued in darkness. Eventually two men got hold of Napoleon s legs, two seized his arms and one sat on his midsection. The lights were flashed on and the guests, to their utter amazement, discovered Nino lying on the floor. The medium was in a state of high dudgeon. Asked what had caused the athletic manifestation of Napoleon, Nino said: “I don't know. I was in a trance. I never know what happens. Where am I?” LONG YEARS OF SERVING OTHERS ENDS IN DEATH Woman Cared for Disabled Parents and Sisters’ Eleven Children. P.u Timet Specini BLOOMINGTON.

DRY CRIME QUIZ REFUSAL VIEWED AS ERROR

OFFICIALS SAY PROBE GROUP MADE MISTAKE Police and Sheriff Chiefs Supported Motion of Rappaport. NEW CONDITIONS CAUSE Kinney, Winkler and Judge Collins Refuse to Comment. The Indiana crime commission erred in not investigating prohibition as a crime factor in the opinion of a decided majority of public officials interviewed today by The Times. Told prohibition has brought “more crime, graft and corruption than ever existed before,” the crime commission Saturday rejected, 11 to 5, the motion of Leo M. Rappaport. chairman of the subcommittee on the causes of crime, for appointment of a committee to inquire into prohibition. Supporters of the motion included Walter J. Cavanaugh, former Ft. Wayne police chief and last year of the Indiana Police Chiefs’ Association, and Sheriff Frank J. Kopkey of Pulaski county, president of the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association. Views expressed by law enforcement and legal officials here today included: Robert L. Humes, chief of state police: “Is prohibition a cause of crime? It is THE cause of crime. The commission should have investigated this and everything that needs investigation and then made a recommendation to meet conditions.” E. L. Osborne, chief of state crime bureau: "The crime commissioners probably were right in not investigating prohibition. There is no need to investigate. Prohibition is a failure and one of the primary causes of the current crime wave. Everyone knows that. The rum runner graduates into other rackets and the hi-jacker becomes a murderer. Everyone knows that, so why investigate and then do nothing about it.” Crime Is Heightened City Corporation Counsel Edward H. Knight: “My personal opinion is that the motion of Mr. Rappaport for a specific investigation of the Indiana prohibition laws and their effect on the crime situation. clearly comes within the scope of the inquiry, and should have been adopted. "Regardless of anyone's personal opinion on the prohibition question, it is an established fact that the enactment of prohibition laws, so stringent as those in this state, has developed entirely new phases of criminal activity, and has led to large increase in inmates in our penal institutions; so it would appear rational to face the situation and determine whether the public welfare would be best served by a recommendation for the revision of the prohibition law, and possible modification or repeal of the prohibition amendment to the constitution.” Kinney, Winkler Silent Attorney-General James M. Ogden, commission member, not present w'heu Rappaport's motion was offered: The commission’s function is drawing to a close and there is no time now- to investigate such a collossal problem. Besides, as chairman of the committee on penal problems, my subcommittee report there and also my bar association speech on crime pointed out that 80 per cent of the increase in penal population has nothing whatever to do with prohibition.” Police Chief Jerry Kinney, Sheriff George Winkler and Criminal Judge James A. Collins were among those who declined comment. INSURANCE MEASURE IS ADOPTED BY UNION Stereotypers, Electrotypers Close National Session Here.

OGDEN'S AID TO PLAN JURY QUIZ | IN GAS SCANDAL Ex-Senator, Oil Mand Likely Targets in Tax Evasion Prosecution. Earl Stroup, deputy attorneygeneral, will go to Lake county this week to plan a grand jury investigation of the northern Indiana bootleg gasoline scandal, it was announced today by Attorney-Gen-eral James M. Ogden. The plan to prosecute Louis H. Joers, Michigan City oil dealer, and l Bruce E. Cooper, Stewartsville, rei signed state gasoline tax auditor, as ; authors of the plot whereby the I state is said to have been cheated out of many thousand of dollars in gas taxes, may not meet with approval by Lake county authorities, it was learned today. Ready to Push Matter Oliver Starr. Lake county prosecutor, is reported to have confided to friends that he will be interested in “getting to the bottom of the entire matter.” This was taken to mean that the connection of Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield end his campaign manager, Clarence P. Fate, state securties investigator, and several prominent Republican politicians, in the bootleg gasoline matter may be gone into. epratioO ?f‘o Gwhtemenmcu nn n Joers Charged Tool According to State Auditor Archie Bobbitt, Joers was the tool of Poole Harrison and J. T. Conner, Chicago oil dealers. Bobbitt and Ogden settled a SIOO,OOO suit with these two men for $25,000 last week. It was indicated then that Cooper and Joers will “take the rap,” if any. Ogden said today, however, that “if there are higher ups, I am in favor of bringing them to justice. The monej settlement isn’t as important as to prosecute corrupt public officials.” HOGSTON FACES SUIT Self-Service Gas Operator Asks Injunction. State Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hogston, who first tried to scare and then starve the self-service gasoline stations out of business, today is faced with an injunction suit filed in Wayne circuit court at Richmond. The suit, brought by Thomas B. Jenkins, pioneer in the self-service oil station business in this state, asks that Hogston be enjoined from enforcing the rule which would put them out of business. Hogston will be defended by Paul Brady, attorney on his staff, rather than the attorney general’s office in this matter he said today. He never has been aggressive in enforcing the ruling and the suit may kill it entirely. TAX VALUATION LOWER About 51.000,000 Represents Cut Made in Grant County. Bj/ Timet Special MARION, Ind., July 28.—Grant county has a total of $58,102,250 taxable property exclusive of what may be added by the state tax board of tax commissioners when they act on corporation holding assessable only by the board, records on file at the office of the county auditor show. Fom this total will be deducted $2,288,030 in mortgage exemptions and $120,370 in soldier exemptions. Corporation assesments added by the state board in 1929 totaled $14,327,790, and the totaf for this year is expected to be about the same. The tax levy for 1939 was based on a total valuation of $70,861,250, but the total for this year will be less, due to a reduction of approximately $1,000,000 in valuation of county taxables. 5300.000 Loss is Fire Av l nited Prest 000 fire, believed started by lightning during a wind and electrical storm, destroyed the Mascari Fruit Company's cold storage plant and warehouse Saturday night.

THIRD MESSAGE TO LADYDOYLE Spiritualist’s Widow Convinced of Authenticity. Bu United Press LONDON, July 28.—A third message from the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author and spiritualist, has convinced Lady Doyle he has definitely established communication with his family from the “land beyond,” she said. Lady Doyle’s confidence that her husband’s spirit is present in this world seeking to communicate with her also was bolstered by a “psychic photograph” of Sir Arthur, which was found superimposed on a photograph of the Rev. Charles L. Tweedale, vicar of Weston, Yorkshire, she said. The vicar’s photograph was taken by C. Hope of Crewe, under conditions suitable for a test for a psychic photograph, and when it was developed by the minister, a likeness of Sir Arthur also appeared. The spirit message was communicated to Peter Powell of Chester, who said Sir Arthur told him its authenticity could be tested by asking Lady Doyle about a sealed envelope Sir Arthur left with her to be opened only after he had revealed its contents. Lady Doyle said there was such an envelope. Lady Doyle declined to divulge the message her husband gave to Powell, declaring it was “private.”

Quake Cities to Be Made Shock Proof Italy Takes Up Big Task of Reconstruction Before Rescue Work Ends in Devastated Area. BY THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Staff Correspondent NAPLES, July 28.—Plans for a new southern Italy were almost ready today as the Italian government ordered the greatest possible speed in caring for its homeless citizens. Unofficial estimates of the total casualties still remained at between 3,000 and 4.000. The latest government list of bodies counted, issued on Saturday, gave 2,142 killed and 4,551 injured. The rescue work in the thirtyfour towns and cities destroyed or seriously damaged by last Wednes--day’s earthquake, was not even completed when the reconstruction plans neared the final stage. Soldiers wearing gas masks still sought among the ruins for bodies and trapped living victims, and several hospital trains arrived here today with quake victims, who were placed in local hospitals for more up-to-date treatment for their injuries. The reconstruction of the devastated region will begin as soon as .engineers make their final surveys of the territory’s needs, and the Italian cabinet appropriates the necessary funds to carry on the work. That will be some time this week, it was believed. man AVEZZANO will be used as a model town in the reconstruction. Avezzano was built in 1915 after it was destroyed by an earthquake, and contains chiefly one and two-story houses of reinforced concrete. Earthquakes since have done no damage there, and the new southern Italy will be built along those lines. Many of the towns, such as Aquilonia, will be moved from their old locations on hilltops to the valleys, where they will be safer from the earth’s trembling. Most of the damage in the last earthquake was done in towns located at high altitudes. The government long had sought unsuccessfully to persuade townsmen to move into the valley. In preparation for the vast reconstruction program, long freight trains moved out of Naples at frequent intervals today, bearing lumber, bricks and cement for the new buildings. Other building supplies were sent in military and private motor trucks. mam THE homeless population, meanwhile, was cared for in tents and portable huts similar to those used behind the front during the war. All the devastated area resembled a vast encampment. Telegraph and telephone service has been restored completely, and damaged bridges replaced, so that communication throughout the region was normal. Radio stations, established by the army engineers, also were functioning as a complementary service. While only two American citizens were killed by the earthquake, and they of Italian ancestry, southern Italy is the “emigrant territory,” and there was scarcely a family in the earthquake zone but had connections' in America. Rocco Colantuoni who was killed with his wife and four children at Villanova, has a brother living in Brooklyn, and other relatives in Springfield Mass., and the United Press correspondent was told at San Nicola, that Father De Stefano of Springfield had lost several relatives in the quake. Gaetano de Furio of Monte Calvo who has ft son in Chicago, fled in terror during the tremors, and has not been found. mam MANY inhabitants of Sossio, San Nicola and the Trevico section have relatives in Boston and Newark, while New York, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Chicago often are mentioned. Hopes that more living persons might be rescued from the ruins were raised throughout the section when three girls, between the ages of 8 to 6, were extricated from a demolished house at Melfi, and when a 4-months-old boy, Filippo Antinozzi, was found beneath an overturned cupboard at Lacedonia, where his entire family was killed. A mother and two children also were found elive at Aquilonia, and while the mother was in a weakened condition, the children were playing as though nothing has happened. The three-day tour of King Victor Emanuel, who personally contributed 100,000 lire to the relief work, also served to bolster the Inhabitants’ courage. The king went from town to town, talking with survivors and rescue workers, and inspecting the devastation at first hand. f A RIFF WAR FORECASI European Auto Producers Call Meeting to Map Plans.
