SPIRITUALISM IS ALARMING ENGLAND

National Suffrage Leaders Pleased With Action of Indiana

By MARY HENKE. LONDON. Dec. 24. Along with the Irish question, the peace treaty and other pressing difficulties, the growth of spiritualism is ' giving England something td worry about.

Intellectual men of more than na-1 tlonal reputation, society leaders and former staid and unimaginative members of the church, are joining the ranks of those who believe In the return of spirits from the other world to communicate with the living. Sir Oliver Lodge and Conan Doyle were pioneers in the movement of "inIntellectuals" toward spiritualism, and The trend has become so noticeable as to alarm the Bishop of London and others of Influence in the church. Picture of Christ Interests. Almost every day the press carries an account of some startling manifestation of spiritualistic influence. A very weak and insipid picture of the Christ, declared to have been drawn while under the direction of spirits, . created nation-wide interest. The artist was Mrs. Victor Spencer, daughter-in-law of Viscountess Churchill, and she had never before showto any traces of artistic talent, according to herself and her relatives. Conan Doyle pronounced the picture to be "marvellous," and it was shown at one of the galleries, wlsere it was

wondered at or crtitclzed, according

to the observer's sympathy with the spiritualistic idea.

Conan Doyle has in his way, as earnest and sincere an-4nterest In the

other world as H. O. Wells has In the

study of development of religious belief. Doye recently wrote a book on his conception of the "great beyond" that settled a great many perplexing problems about the future existence. There was to be no eternal triangle Jn Doyle's conception of heaven, and there would be affinities enough to go around. What was to become of the third person in the triangle was not definitely set out. - ' The interest shown In spiritualism by solid, worthy citizens, who are not faddists in any sense of the word, is what Is causing alarm to the supporters of the church. Nice old ladies who never do anything that might be In the least branded as unconventional, prosperous men who work in banks, and the ast end coster who sees "ghosts"

are together adherents of the new

cult.

Psychologists say e the after effect of the war ant. 'trie longing of

those who have lost loved ones in ; France to hear from them again. ' Man Fakes In Ranks.

While many of the supporters of spiritualism are sincere In their belief, its growth has led to a stimulus In fortune telling and mind reading, that has elements of danger. Unscrupulous mediums are constantly working on the fears and emotions of women patrons, and there are cases where persons have been driven into insanity through worry over a spirit manifestation that originated in the mind of the medium. Scores of women respond to an invitation to become the medium through which communications are to be made with spirits, atl confident that they have the required qualifications. Psyshological study has been stimulated by the spread of spiritualism, and in a way science has benefited, but conservative churcr-going public sees only a menace in the principles of the cult.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. Suffrage

.leaders In Washington are pleased

with the action of the Indiana legislature, not only because it brings them

within ten, of the required number of states for ratification of the federal suffrage amendment, but because they

believe it will have a helpful effect in

'the states which have not yet acted.

Indiana acted at a time when the

legislatures of five states, Maryland,

New Jersey, South Carolina, Virginia

and Mississippi, are meeting and the women have not been slow to pass

the word to these states that the Hoosier state regarded suffrage of the sufficient importance to hold a special legislative session for this purpose

alone.

"The fact that the Indiana legisla

ture held a one-day session tor the

single purpose of adopting the federal

Amendment can not help but make an

impression on states which havo not yet acted," said Miss Mable Vernon,

national secretary of the national

woman's party, "we believe that Indiana's action will be especially helpful in New Jersey where the legislature is now in session. We are hopeful of getting results in that state, though success is not yet assured." The suffragists regard New Jersey and Maryland as "hopeful" and even consider that Mississippi is not hopeIes. Virginia and South Carolina, from a suffrage standpoint, are regarded as "very difficult."

Feed Birds" Appeal of Mannfeld to Wayne Co.

WAYNE MEN NAMED

AS LIVESTOCK BODY

An advisory committee from Wayne county, consisting of Jesse Druley, Earl Crawford and A. L. Baldwin, was appointed by C. C. Fisher, Sixth dis

trict live stock representative of the Indiana Farmers' federation, at the

'meeting of farm men at Muncie Fri

day, Jan. 16. Mr. Pouteney, of Delaware county, was elected as general district head. Theodore Davis, of Greensfork, county president and E. F. Murphy, secretary, attended. Discussion was made of the live stock conditions In Indiana, especially at the Indianapolis yards. A committee of the federation, investigating, reported on a study of the yards and of Indianapolis packing plants. The placing of a federation live stock commission firm was considered, and the packers informed the committeo that such a firm, would receive all consideration given other firms. The pack

ing houses also declared themselves eager to co-operate with the farmers' federation in the improvement of conditions. A committeo is making further In

vestigations at the Indianapolis yarda and another committee is also visiting the yards at Buffalo, Pittsburg, ,Cincinnati, Dayton, Louisville, Evansville, Chicago and Kansas City to study the marketing conditions with the view of obtaining and installing

Fpractices at home which will benefit

the producer and also the consumer, said Mr. Davis, Monday.

Prices Have No Expansion Plans, Says Eugene Price No plans for expansion or remodeling of the C. T. Price and Sons' confectionery store have been, made, according to announcement ' made by Eugene Price, one of the members of the firm. "We cannot handle any

more business unless we enlarge our facilities, but at present we have no

plans for remodeling," he said. Everett Ackerman,, member of the John F. Ackerman company, denied any Intention of moving. He said their business was increasing and a larger place would be inevitable, but not at the present time.

Feed the birds, is the urgent request George N. Mannfeld, chief of the fish and game division, state conservation commission, has sent to the Wayne county fish and game organizations in Indiana. Quails' and such other bird3 should be looked after carefully in cold weather, especially when there is enow everywhere, and in with tho

feed should be a little grit, which is hard for birds to obtain when there is much enow, game experts assert. The birds die from actual starvation sometimes, shunters say, and even if they do not starve to death, lack of food and grit weakens them so that they are often unable to evade or to protect themselves from their enemies.

Viola Dana, the winsome screen star won new admirers with her clever interpretation of the fascinating role of Muriel Ashley, in the Screen Classics, Inc., super-production of "Please Get Married," shown yesterday as the feature attraction at the Washington theatre. The picture is an adaptation of the sprightly stage farce by James Cullen and Lewis Allen Browne, which, when produced by Oliver Morosco, ran for six months in New York, and was one of the outstanding successes of the last theatrical scasdn. Miss Dana plays the part of an al

most kissless bride on a most em-i

barrassing honeymoon. The plot is so clever and so ingeniously filled with comedy surprises, that It seems unfair to divulge it, lest the enjoyment of the spectator be impaired by a foreknowledge of what it Is all about. Suffice to say that it has to do with a pair of adoring and extremely youthful lovers who embark on a honeymoon in blissful 'content, while their parents have learned that perhaps

they may not be married at all. The shocked and horrified parents set out to overtake them, but they reach a mountain hotel ahead of their elders and prepare for the spooning they have waited so long for, when they are the victims of a series of interruptions that are as disconcerting to them as- they are mirth-provoking. The screen version of "Please Get Married" is spicy but clean. The comedy of the stage production Is preserved, and at times Improved upon, with the result that the beholders of the picture are kept in a constant gale of merriment.

MURRETTE. "It Pays to Advertise," written by Roi Cooper Mcgrue and Walter Hackett, scored a big success with Bryant Washburn as star, at. the Murrette i theatre yesterday. Included In the

supporting cast are Lois Wilson, the leading woman. Frank Currier, Walter I Hiers, Clarence Geldart, Guy Oliver and Julia Haye. The story concerns j the son of a millionaire, who after j having been turned out of his father's

home, wins out by staking his all on

his belief that "It Pays to Advertise MURRAY.

Comedy and dramatic suspense are not supposed to be affinities, and it is

seldom that humor and the thrill of

combat are united in the same scene

In a "Sage Byush Hamlet." however, William Desmond's latest production.

which opens today at the Murray theatre, there la a fight which combines the elements of hilarious comedy with

dramatic action perfectly.
