Feb. 8. (Special. -Cole and Granimer have a new lease on life. Their reprieve of Two weeks, granted Saturday by" Governor Mc Kelvie, pending the appeal of Gram " mer's case to the United .States cir cuit court of appeals, has put new spirit into the condemned slayers. They are accepting their brief're spits from facing the prospect of im mediate death in the electric chair for the murder of Mrs. Lulu Yogt, Gramnier's mother-in-law, with mingled sensations nf hope and fear hope for a decision which may re stilt in a comolete esrane from the tlsath penaltvj and fear for a re versal to the fate which thev have been forced to contemplate on two distinct occasions. Grammcr has suffered immeasur ably and is still ill a state of mental and physical collapse from his nerv ous strain. Cole has maintained a spirit of fatalism which has done much to buoy him up during the try ing period. Concerted efforts will l-c made, it is understood, to have the death sentences commuted to life impris-r ontnent. Lieutenant Governor Bar rows, acting governor during the ab sence of Governor McKelvie, who left Saturday night for Seattle, may he approached with a petition for this action, it is reliably rumored. Attorneys for Granimer and Cole arc reported to have discovered some new evidence which they hope will be sty convincing that the acting governor may take the resp6nsibil ity of commuting the condemned men. Acting Governor Barrows will not oiscuss the matter until the nature of the evidence has been subj mittcd. v Federal Schedule is Shattered in Trial - ' Of s enator Newberry Grand Rapids, Mich., Feb. 8. The N'ewbcrry elections conspiracy trial will go into its third week in the United States federal .court tomor row with the machinery for its grist not completely shaken "down. Thus far the speed schedule set for the prosecution by Frank C. Dailey, assistant attorney general, and his associates has not been even anprpxtmated. The schedule called for an aver age, of 20 witnesses a day. There ijave been four full court days de-A-oted to witnesses since last Tues day and only a few more than half a hundred men and women have oc cupied the stand. Perhaps 800 will be called from prosecution and defense befor.e the issue goes to the jury. The influenza epidemic has had something to do with this, some wit nesses having been summoned to I testify ahevl of their logical places j because of sickness in their homes or places of business. As a conse-' iiuence several detached aspects of the government case have been pre sented to the jury and the orderly progress of the story "has been in terfered with. Tonopah Miners Quit When Bonus Money Is Withdrawn Tonopah, Nev., Feb. 8.

A vote in favor of a strike during' the com ing week was taken at a mass meet ing here ot nearly 700 members of Local 370, International Brother 1 . hood of Electrical workers, who are employes of the Pacific Telephone gji'' Telegraph company. The vote was practically unani . tnous, it was announced by union officers, who said the strike would, be called some day in the coming . ve?k. The strike will follow, according y to wiion officers, a second refusal within a month by the telephone company to concede the demand of the sien for a wage increase from 6 to $7 a day.

CARRINGTON, Ph. D., Member of American and Royal Societies or !"sj-cnal Kenearrh. Instrumental Communication with the "spirit world!" That has been the ambition of a certalu group of occult and psychical students since the very origin of their luvestiga tion. Improbable -nay, impossible as it sounds, many have, continued to believe, in spite of grievous disap poiutments, that this would one day tie accomplished; ,that the time would come when we should have some sort of telephone by means of which direct communication with the "spirit world" would be .render ed possible; or that some sort of in stalment would be devised which would render this dream an" actual reality. It really seems that this vision is at last becoming an established fact and that the day is at hand when unreliable or fraudulent me-" diums will be dispensed with, and "communication" held directly with those who have gone before. Upstern of Wealth. This, at least, is the startling claim made by two Dutch physicists whose researches I propose "io sum marize in this article; and, without actually endorsing their conclu sions, it may be said at once that they have ;ulopted a bold and orig inal method of research, and that their experiments' will have to be "explained away" in some satisfac tory manner, if we are to refrain from accepting the dramatic conclu sions which they believe they have reached. The experimenters, whose work I Summarize, are Dr. J. L. V. P. Matla and Dr. G. J. Zaalberg van Zejst of The Hague, Holland. They are well known in spiritistic and oc cult circles there; and also for their original work in high-frequency currents of electricity, liquid air, and the compression of gases. Scien tifically, they were well equipped for the task. More than 22 years of labor had preceded their final con clusions, which were given to the world in a voluminous work, in Dutch, entitled the Mystery of Death. (It is from this work that many of the facts contained in this article are drawn.) Man Consists of "Ego." What we know as a "man'' con sists, not in the clothes he wears, nor in his body-flesh and bones, tjut in the mental being, the "ego'' within. This is always invisible to us, so that it may in truth be said that we never see a man in Jiis life. We see only . his externals. His real "self" is never known by us except indirectly. Let this truth be fully grasped at the outset, as it is very essential. This mental being consists of consciousness and memory; to gether they constitute what we know as the "personal identity." We say that this consciousness is John Smith, or Henry Wood, or whoever it may be. Even if we do not see his body, but only hear his voice over the telephone, we say the same thing. We must get in touch with that consciousness after death, if it still exists, and obtain from it proof of its continued existence. Just as we proved the existence of argon in the atmosphere by isolating it, so we must prove the existence of this surviving consciousness by isolating it; and geting it to prove its "per sonal identity" to us by much the same-means that it did on earth by telling us facts which only that consciousness knew. This is proof of personal identity proof qf some form of survival. Now. there arc two ways in which this can be done by mental manifestations, so-called auto matic writing and speech, vision, messages, and all the class of mental ohenomena known to stu dents of the occult. The other way, is by means of physical manifesta tions by materializations, photo graphic means, voices, raps, -etc., indicating intelligence. Telephone to Spirits. Instrumental means such as the telegraph and telephone are the latest methods tried, and it is such a process wdiich we will describe in this article. The question, there fore, is this: Were the instruments in question manipulated 4jrectly by some external intelligence (a spirit) and if so, how? If we exclude all normal methods of moving the in struments question, some other explanation must be forthcoming; if spirit-identity be proven, we stand face to face with the great possibility of direct instrumental communication, with the spiritual world It is a great a tremendous thought! The first experiments were crude and primitive enough. A small room was constructed with a solid concrete floor, so as to shut off earth vibrations so far as possible seven feet long, six feet broadH and nine feet high. It was con nected, with the outside passage by means of ont door all other doors and windows having been carefully sealed with thick, black material. Watch- Through Window. This door into the passage con tained a small window, guarded by blinds, and the experimenters took up their position outside, ' in the passage whence they watched the fluctuations of the instruments daring the experiments. That is, they were notJn the room at the time at all. Sometimes it was nec essary to" employ opera-glasses to see the variations in the recording instruments during the course of the sittings. At other times, the shadow "of I moving index-pointer was cast upon a screen, upon which a graduated scale had been drawn thus permitting an enlarged image of the movement to be seen and registered. In this room was placed, first of all,' a cardboard cylinder about 20 inches high, 10 inches broad, and having V capacity of about' 22 litres that is, about two-fifths the size of the solid human body. This cylinder was covered with sheets of tinfoil sealing it hermetically. A small hole in the upper edge of the cylinder was made, and a flex ible rubber tube was inserted .here, connecting the interior of the cylin der with a "manometer" a sort of thermometer, placed sideways, and containing one drop of alcohol, which, under normal conditions, oc cupied a position in the center of the glass tube( like a spirit-level). Callings "Man Force." If any solid object were introduc ed into the cylinder, it would oi course displace a portion of the con tained air, and this drop of alcohol would indicate the amount of air displaced by running along the gra duated scale jjntil it stopped at the correct figure. The instrument was tested in various ways and found accurate. The investigators then retired, am! asked the "man-force" as they called the manifesting "spirit" not wishing to call it by that name to enter the cylinder and displace some of the contained air. Im mediately the bubble was seen to run along the scale of the mano meter, showing that part of the air had been displaced by some solid or semi-solid body. The degree of displacement was noted. At re quest the alcohol drop was caused to run along the scale, back and forth, a number of times. The fact of coincidence was thus quite ex cluded. - ,' Measure the Body. It was soon found that this first cylinder was too small. Accord ingly, other cylinders were con structed 40. 50, 55 and 60 litres in capacity. From a number of ob servations, Drs. Matla and - Van Zelst came to the conclusion that the size of the body occupying the cylinder was aproximately 53 litres. The weight of this body was then tested and calculated, and found to be about 69.5 grams approximate ly 2.25 ounces. Theseresults were checked by the employment of a second cylinder, which was used as a "control." Experiments were then under taken to ascertain the precise phys ical constitution of this curious "body." As the result of a number of elaborate and laborious experi ments, Drs. Matla and van Zelst ar- . .i e i, 1 : rive.Q at me iouowing conclusions; That this "body" is capable of contraction and expansion, under the action of the will of the "man- force," the expansion being 1.26 mm., or about one-forty-millionth of its own volume; its contraction being much greater, viz., about 8 mm., or one-six-and-a-quarter millionth of its volume. Its specific weight is about 12.24 mgs. lighter than hydro gen, and 176.5 times lighter than air. The will acts upon this body me chanically, causing it to expand (rise) or contract (descend) as the action takes place. It is thus still subject to the law of gravitation. Density of Body. There is an X-force which holds the molecules of this body together, as yet unknown. The atoms com posing this body are small, widely separated, but heavy.- The internal density of the body is about the same as that of the external air; if the pressure of the air outside the body be increased, that inside the body will increase in exact propor tion. These calculations are based up on the earlier experiments which. interesting and ingenious as they were, nevertheless were crude com pared with those undertaken at a later stage of , the investigation. Pactlv as the result of "instruc tions" imparted by the communicat- ng spirit (man-force) and partly upon their own initiative, Drs. Matla and van Zelst constructed a very elaborate and ingenious instrument termed bv them a dynamisto- graph" complex in nature, yet sen sitive, and apparently capable of being influenced by the communicat ing intelligence through the me dium of electricity." A description of this instrument is necessary, as being one of the most elaborate devices ever con structed, in order to talk to the "spirit world" direct. Talk to Spirit Direct. The "dynamistograph" is an electro-mechanical instrument, consist ing of three principal parts: (1), the key; (2), thcindicator; and )3d), the register, or recording appartus. The indicator consisted of a wheel, upon which were marked 28 equidis tant spaces. In these were marked the letters of the alphabet, a period or full-stop, and a blank space. This wheel was driven by an independent motor, so as to perform one twenty-eighth of a revolution in five seconds that is, move forward oni letter in that time. This letter ap peared at a small opening, as its turn came; and at the moment of its appearance if" the "key" were pressed, this letter was printed by means of the register or recording apparatus. This, register consisted of a small hammer, to which was affixed a magnet. At the moment of closing the electric current (the result of pressingthe "key") the magnet was drawn up, the hammer struck an inked ribbon, beneath which was a letter corresponding to the letter indicated on the large disk. In this way the same letter was instantly recorded on a strip of paper, slow ly wound out, like a stock-ticker ribbon. Spirit Presses Key. The "key" - was a very intricate piece of apparatus, and it was this that the "spirit" or "man-force" was asked to press at the moment the right letter appeared on the large indicator. This key consisted of a For Coldt. Grin or Influama J nil as Prcvrntntire. Uk LAXATIVE Utreiifitoyji'j) lito.. n km 99 sort of leveror beam, to which were attached two rings, capable of re volving freely; a membrane of fine material stretched tightly over them; and a lever, to the opposite end of yhich was attached a very fine hair, connected with a delicately adjusted scries of screws beneath. If the key wer,e pressed ever so little (that is, if. the "spirit" stood or pressed upon the membrane, and its weight were evr so small, it would affect the apparatus, by this delicate. series of adjustments and relays, and thus close the contact. Electricity would then pass along the wires and con nections, and the hammer record the letter exposed at the moment the key was pressed, j The electric current was'provided bv a Wilmhurst machine. The light used in the room during the experi ments was acteylene gas, which the experimenters had found the most efficacious. The membrane forming tie "key" was 38 cm. broad (about 15 inches). The" whole apparatus was placed in a cupboard, kept at a constant temperature and baro metric dryness. - - i Messages for a Year. The experiments or "communica tions" by means of the dynamisto grnoh covered a period of one year, in which daily messages were re ceived. The experimenters assert that the weight of the "spirit form" gradually decreases as the years pass a form 100 years old weighing only about one-quarter as much as one 10 years old! Slow disintegra tion is evidently taking place. The molecular intervals in the body are said to be 176 times greater than that of ordinary air. The entire body of this strange being is full of air and is not sepa rated from the atmosphere bv any protective sheath or covering of an impervious nature. The being is thought to pass through those solid objects through which it can pass by a species of, osmosis its molecules' heing small enough and far enough apart to permit this. The hope is certainly legitimate, then, that we shall one day (stumble upon a means of direct instrumental communication between the two worlds.

The campaign is to continue for 60 days or until these prices are complied with. Other unions are asked to help. To Address Women. Mrs. A. G.

Its delicate AT THE THEATERS A TALE of how a young man ran away from home under a cloud and four years later re turned as the sweet singer of a strolling negro minstrel troupe is unfolded in "Roly Roly Eyes," which began its stay at the Brandeis the ater last night. Eddie Leonard, whose name has long been familiar to those who recall the minstrel shows of other days, is the chief and shining star of the company and wins much applause for his songs. The arrangement permits an inter mingling of minstrel methods with the form of modern musical com edy, "heart stuff" and jazz, "close harmony" and solos, and a variety of dances, principally contributed by George Pierce and Margaret Ed wards. It is worthy of note that' a buck and wing movement by Pierce drew the heartiest applauce of the evening, and that Eddie Leonard got more recalls on, his serenade that closes the first act than usually falls to the lot of an actor in Omaha. Miss Edward? is an active, energetic young woman, who throws herself with much abandon into a series of movements the execution of which requires, absolute control and per fect co-ordination of mind and. muscle.

Queenie Smith, in the ingenue role, sings a number of songs pleasingly, and re tains her girlish trust in the miss ing boy 6f her heart until he turns up, his charactervashed as clean as his face. A chorus possessed of the charms of youth, beautifully garbed, vivacious and tuneful, adds much to the effectiveness of the piece. The opening scene, that of an apple or chard in bloom, is very pretty and in keeping with the spirit of the tale. Hats off 'to Elizabeth Brice.

This offering takes the place of two acts on the bill, runs through an hour, and appeals to about 100 per cent of vaudeville pat rons. It is .stuffed with clever lines situations, and depicts the experi ences of the Yanks overseas during their leisure moments. Miss Price and Mr. Morrissey having them selves served as entertainers with the A. E. F., they are better able to inject spirit into this class of enter tainment. One of the hits of the revue is Mr. Morrissey's own com position, "You'll Never Get a Whim per Out of Me," for which effort he received several encores yesterday. Miss Brice as "Salvation Nell," ac companied by a chorus of "Trench Angels," also made a hit. Jeanette Tourneur, as Madelon, a French girl, is a dainty bit of French femininity. The other principals are: Blanche Latell. Ernest F. Young, .Harold Whalen, Lieutenant McPherson and Erl Corr. -There are 20 members of the company and Leon M. Polachek directs the orchestra.
