With McKelvie Out of State,
Barrows May Be Asked to
Commute Gramme)" and
Cole Sentences.
Lincoln. Neb.. 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.

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

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

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.

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.

charms of youth, beautifully garbed,
vivacious and tuneful, adds much to
the effectiveness of the piece. The

in keeping with the spirit of the

ences of the Yanks overseas during
their leisure moments. Miss Price

selves served as entertainers with
