i f 8 A THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, JULY 17, 1921. Every Family to Be Able to Talk To Spirits, He Says Delegates to Convention of General Assembly of Spirtu alists Discuss Future Life And Disembodied Spirits. By MARGERY REX. International Nw. Serriee. New York, July 16. On one of the hottest days of the year, in a re eland-gold ballroom, 100 men and wo men gather together to discuss the future life, the disembodied spirits and the possibility of communication with them. The twenty-fifth convention of the general assembly of Spiritualists is in session at the Waldorf. .These earn est people sit attentively while their leader speaks of the past of their re ligion, of the social and business os tracism once attendant upon it and of the freedom from persecution which prevails today. Predicts Family Mediums. Soon, he avers, nearly everyone will believe in communication with the dead, and in every family some one will serve as medium for the group. This pronouncement causes no surprise to the members of the con vention, although it is rather start ling news for outsiders. But the m-ftirli-nt nf ihe ffathrrinc. T. F. Steckenreiter, goes cn to tell of the heavy price believers once paid for their faith, since any Spiritualist war considered at one time a legitimate object to persecute. He emphasizes the differenoe between the fortune teller and the medium, a distinction not always conceded. Various pastors of Spiritualist churches tell of the headway made during the year both financially and socially. Young people's societies are formed, mortgages on churches paid off, clubs chartered and guilds maintained. It is surprising to learn, when they arise to speak, that various women lit organdies and silks are ministers of this particular gospel. Several col ored women, good ' speakers, tell of success among their people and in their church group. One of them, Mrs.' Hetty Johnson a New York minister relates stories of her "child-guide Chatter box," who aids and advises her. To one who does not entertain this be lief it all is apt to seem trival. N,oted Adherents of Faith. But at once names like those of the late W. T. Shead, the late Wil liam James and the living Conan Doyle come to mind. . General acceptance of spiritualism is delayed, the president of the meet- ing says. Yet few believe now that it is actual claptrap or" a device of satan. Neither do intelligent min isters of other creeds denounce it from their pulpUs. be declares. , l ? t Later on Mrs- Mable Marie Butler, of Birmingham, told. me that there was a great ' difference" between spiritualism and spiritism. " "Spiritualism is as different from spiritism as college is different from grammar school," she says. "Our belief is wonderful, new and healthy. It is holy and wholesome. It is God's own love iaa fcratfical iorm. - - . i "But the pearh of occultvscience j are buried fleep in me eann. u takes time to bring them completely to light That means we all must work hard." - . i , Young and comely, shejhad at tracted, more than one glance by the intensity of the fervor which shone from her pleasant face during the .speeches of other members. Flowers and Spirits Connected. Mrs. Hetty Johnson tells of the connection between flowers and the spirits. At her Sunday seances each visitor holds a flower, which makes it easier to get a message. "With God's flower in my hand," she says. "I can always get a bet ter message. "That is like holding God in my hand. And we can better realize that there is a paradise waiting for us be yond the grave." , Across the tired face of a simple laboring man hope flashes at these words. Yet at some rather extreme ideas which are offered now and then, a few of the audience smile slightly, as though fellow members had not reached such a high plane of understanding as they themselves. One raises a lorgnette and smiles superciliously. But there is a camaraderie between the old and young, between the more intelligent and the less intelligent, between the well-to-do and the poor.' They are held together by mutual belief in an extremely consoling1 form of religion. Cycleplane Successful , S :' 1 I IS t "-fen- "- I Gabriel Poulain, French champion cyclist, about to leave the ground on his "aviette" or cycleplane at a recent official test at the Longchamps race-course near Paris. Poulain flew five meters at a height of 50 centi meters, or about one and one-half feet, winning a big sum for the first successful "flight" of this kind in a man-propelled plane. Noted Spenders' Feats Pale As British Woman Throws Gold to Winds Mrs. Smith-Wilkinson, Who Stunned Paris by Squan dering $5,000,000 in Two Weeks, Plans to Dumb found Manhattan Coal Oil Johnny, Jacques Lebaudy and Charles G. Gates Other Celebrated Wasters. "A Girl In Every Port" Costs This Gob Heavily Kansas City, Mo., July 16. R. J. Shepard, sailor, has been sentenced to jail because he was a "champion" long distance toll "dodger." Shepard had "a girl in every port." Recently he decided it would be wise to "keep them all on a string," so he phoned one in San Francisco. . another in New Orleans, a third in New York and a fourth in Balti more. 'Later he told the phone com pany he would not pay the toll charges. Shepard's service in the world war caused the court to be lenient with nun and he drew a light fine. Police Discover Booze - Concealed in "Nightie" Boston, July 16. Because his nightshirt looked like a young tent, Jacob Sladkewich was searched, and beneath the robe was found some illegal liquor. The police had en tered the house searching for con tiaband ."hootch." They were about to depart empty-handed when they noticed that Jacob's "nightie" looked extra large, Jacob pleaded guilty in East Boston court and was fined $50. German Liquor Traffic Greater Now Than Ever London, July 16. According to official statistics issued by the Co logne Prohibition congress, the drink traffic in Germany, which had de creased during the war, is again in creasing considerably. '' Ten million bottles of champagne were sold in Germany last year, while 10,000,000, 000 marks were spent on alcoholic liquors. ,. . -- ; - "". By MARGERY REX. New York, July 16. "Is ti the spender or the miser who makes the world go round?" Thus demands Mrs. Smith-Wilkinson of a bewildered world. . Truly the English spendthrift has made heads, at least, go around in that 'dear Paris, where she spent $5,000,000 in two weeks. The lady is surely careless with coin. Not content with the hats to be bought along the Rue de la Paix, Madame Monte Carlo," as the stunned citizens of Paris dub her, found a bargain in useless crowns, this especial one being that of the Ul-iated czarina, the price $3,300,000. Among other trinkets she "picked up" in France were the Shrewsbury pearls, price half a million. Then gowns, loose diamonds to sew on dresses, reupholstering of autos and ot private suites ran into millions. And this strange woman defends herself with the plea that she cannot spend her income, which reaches thirty millions. Some Other Noted Spenders. Though apparently champion of the spending ring, Mrs. bmith-Wil kinson is not the first person to en joy wasting money. There have been those who blazed the trail for her and who established precedents and high marks for wasting long before the gay Britisher came to dazzle the continent. t. There was our own Coal Oil John ny, who at the age of 21 leftthe oil fields of Pennsylvania to visit New York and show the old residents what a large evening looked like. . John W. Steele his real name had a. nice little way of getting what he wanted. He selected not, only $8,000 worth, of clothes of a fine morning, not only bought cabs to help out indigent cabbies, but was perfectly willing, to purchase such things as revenge, for instance. Buys HoteL Staying at a hotel during his sen sational New York visit, he found that a certain clerk was too indif ferent to his' importance. Johnny bought the hotel, fired the- bored clerk and opened, the doors to the public, to let who would enter, eat, drink or dwell therein. This cost $1,000,000 that one day. Alas, in four years Coal, Oil John ny became bankrupt He had to go back to the labor which had formerly netted him but $2 a day. When he died, at 77 in Omaha last New Year's day, he had been earning $50 a month. ' But doesn't Mrs. Smith-Wilkinson make Coal Oil Johnny look a tight wad? . And yet there are other women whom we thought wild wasters until we heard of the golden blaze that has come out of England. Mrs. Anthony Caused Stir. There was Mrs. Charles Anthony, of Muncie, Ind., who went in for gold watches on evening slippers, diamond heels, armlets gleaming with gems. When visiting here a few years ago she wore a contrap tion that looked like diamond hand cuffs. It , dazzled Peacock Alley dizzy. And she was considered a wild spendthrift ' ' Not long before that time the murder by his wife of Jacques Le baudy, self-styled "Emperor of the Sahara," brought out the story of his excesses and extravagances, which often took an amusing turn. Thought Insane. Lebaudy was believed to be in sane. He was at times placed in sanitariums. Perhaps this explains the odd and spectacular nature of his expenditures and escapades. Son of Jules Lebaudy, late sugar king of France, the "Emperor," in 1903, went to London. There he had fitted up for his use a magnificent suite in the Savoy. He called himself by the royal title mentioned. He made ap peals to different courts for recog nition since he owned an empire in Abyssinia. In this interprise he spent many millions. Tradespeople called on him, anxious for the honor of being accepted "by appointment to His Majesty the Emperor of the Sahara." His exploits in America, once this affair was ended, were sufficiently startling to cause comment He used to buy broken-down race horses at large prices and give parades to show them off. Mounted upon these ' decrepit steeds were placed uniformed mes senger boys for whose services he had arranged. Lebaudy Couldn't Spend AH. The vast Lebaudy fortune was not appreciably lessened by the "Em- peror's" adventures, since the princi pal is great. In that respect his spendings were seemingly as power less to ruin himself and family as those of the British lady. Most memorable in the history of recent American spendthrifts was Charles G. Gates, who once tipped a waiter $1,000. It is only fair to say that the man nearly dropped dead and, later revived, told -the pro prietor, who returned to Gates $900, the dinner having cost the other hundred. Although willing to throw away money, Gates, it was said, could not be beaten out of a nickel. As for Mrs. Smith-Wilkinson, if anyone wants to beat "Mrs. Monte Carlo's'" prodigality she will have to get hold of the Hope diamond and plant it in her largest tooth. Society Women Of U.S. Add to Gayety of Paris Play a Most Important Part in Social Life Mrs. John Drexel Gives Smart Dinner. , By HELEN HOFFMAN. Paris, July 16. American society women, and their number is legion here, play a most important part in the gay social life of the French capital. The smartest dinner parties are given by leaders of Newport, New York, Philadelphia and Boston soci ety, to say nothing of women who are well known in the fashionable circles of the west and south. The very successful balls which have been recently given for French char ities, and which have fairly daz zled Parisian society not an asy thing to do have been managed by American women. Mrs. Perry Belmont and other well-known society folk of America assisted in the arrangements for the grand mask ball which was given for a local charity June 25. Princess Murat, the former Miss Stallo, of Ohio, directed the arrangements of this affair, which eclipsed in splen dor even the four great balls re cently given by the Marquise de Polignac, the former Mrs. James B. Eustis of New York. The Marquise de Polignac, who is one of the most active, and one of the most popular members of fashionable society here, has returned from a short stay in Switzerland. Smart Parties. Among the smartest dinner par ties given here during the past few weeks were those of Mrs. John R. Drexel at the Ritz. Included in her list of dinner guests were always some members of the most aristo cratic French society, as well as men and women well known in the ex clusive circles of Newport Phila delphia and New York society. Working on Ballet. Mrs. Charles Barney of Washing ton, D. C, whose exhibitions of paintings are well known in the ar tistic circles of Paris, has left Paris for London. She expects to remain abroad throughout the summer, and is working on a new ballet which will likely be presented in London late in the season. Mrs, Barney's ballet, "Crinoline," staged and pro duced in America by Mme. Pavlowa. about four years ago, was a great success. Atlantis Cafe in Vienna Is Rendezvous of Sports Traders, Thieves and Revolutionists '.' By DOROTHY THOMPSON. Vienna, July 16. Do you want to sell a handful of jewels or a wagon-, load of grain and no questions asked? There is a market in Vienna where it can be done. If you are a Philistine you have probably wandered in and out of the place half a dozen times during a short sojourn in the city without re- alizmg that. you were in the ' most famous "schieber" exchange in all central Europe and the near east, Atlantis cafe bears no visible sign to distinguish it from any other coffee house along the Kingstrasse. Only the dealers in illegal traffic have put their cross over its door, and if you belong to the famous international of the-profiteers, beside which the Third of Moscow is harmless as a dove, be you Italian, or Serbian, or Hungarian, or German, the Atlantis is the Mecca of your journeys. it stands on the busiest Vienna street across from the great Imperial hotel. Behind its plate glass win dows, candidly open to every passer by, is a larg"e room, upholstered.in red leather, with comfortably-padded benches along the walls and around the posts which support the ceiling. Arm chairs are fitted into cozy nooks and efficient waiters trot from table to table, carrying syphons, fill ing liqueur glasses, pouring Turkish cottee thickly out of little copper mugs. The orchestra, goaded by a temperamental conductor, sighs out the strains of a heavy, honey-sweet Viennese valse. Altogether a typ ical Vienna cafe. But if instead of burving vour nose in the Neue Frie Presse or the Arbeiter Zeitung, both of which are handily at your eibow. supported on frames fitted with handles you look about you keenly, you will hear strange whisperings and see hands reaching out to each other under cover of the table, and now and then you will see something gleam in transit Or you will see eager heads bent together over some small pack age wrapped in tissue paper, and over and over again you will catch one word, repeated in all languages, "Combien?" "Quanto?" "Skolko?" "Wie Viel?" "How much?" The Uninitiated Barred. If you want to do. business in the Atlantis you must know the ropes. This is no place where you come in, put dov:i your money and ask for what you want. You would be thrown out if you did. with indig nant protests that this is no shop, but a cafe. No, you must know exactly to which table to go in order to dis pose of grain, jewels, money, women. Yes. even the women are bought and sold, so they say, in the Atlantis cafe. Pretty Viennese, with their shoes run down at the heel and their stockings in holes, are offered posi tions as actresses in Rio Janeiro or Bueno Aires and are contracted for and shipped away. What becomes of them afterward no one knows, but many hazard a guess. When you have seated yourself at what you judge to be the right table the conversation begins in cryptic phrases. Recently a man said to an other laconically: "I have a wagon." The other replied (equally lacon ically), "How much?" . The first man named his price. The second: "Very dear. White or spotted?" JLhe first, snorting, "White or spotted 1 Are you crazy?" And he goes away in a huff. He had been trying to sell wheat at the bean table I Around the different tables dif ferent nationalties gather. It is mostly Jews who slip watches and cigaret cases and chains of pearls from hand to hand at the jewelry table. "Dary-eyed and excitable Italians gesticulate in another cor ner over objets d'art; and Austria's pictures, ceramics and gobelins change hands around glasses of cof fee. The Italians are the noisest and, so a habitue of the cafe as sured me, spend more money than all the rest put together. Always at the Italian table are one or two Italian soldiers who will be useful in getting goods over the border. Passports Minus Red Tape. Serbs, Roumanians, Czecho-SIovaki- ans negotiate chiefly in foodstuffs. From them comes the wheat to make the little white rolls which you eat with such pleasure in the famous res taurants, while the rest of Vienna lives on bitter black bread. But more underground than the traffic in food is the traffic in pass ports. The "schieber" knows no frontiers. For 5,000 to 10,000 kronen, if you are a "wise one," you can get a Roumanian, or a Serbian, or a Czecho-Slovak passport that will take you where Bulgarian, Hun garian or Austrian papers are use less. And vises needless to stand in queues before the consulates if you have friends at the Atlantic. Any vise in an hour is the un advertised promise of the gentlemen who haunt a particular corner of the cafe. The Atlantis has its personalities. There is a little spectacled woman in a red hat with the Manners and bustle of an American stenographer who has been reading the success stories iA the American magazines and means to rise. Mark her well. She is the liaison officer between visitors to the cafe and all the Italian profi teers. She walks jauntily from table to table, finding here a man who wants to sell leather goods and there another who wants to buy Now she is offering an exceptional bargain in a lot of gold lorgnettes. No one can estimate how great a volume of business she does in a single i day. Nor' need you confine your inter ests to business in the Atlantis! Over there is the table where volunteers were collected for an army to bring down the social democratic regime in Austria. Refugee communists from Hungary gather at that table and, presumably, plot. The revolution table is in a secluded corner, and its habitues are usually very well behaved. Revolutions are quiet in central Europe just now, much quiet er than grain transactions.

A startling fact revealed hv Prince Hashim was that in Afghanistan America or the United States is prac tically unheard of and thi few who do know of it refer to it as "the new world." "If I were to write my friends from here they would not be lieve me and would think me crazy," said the prince. After comoletinc their education n London the three royal sons hope to return to their native land and bring about several beneficial chances in their country. Afghanistan, accord ing to Prince Hashim, is practically isolated because of lack of modern connections or communications with other outside countries A network of highways, railroads and bridges would be a great advantage to the eountrv which is rich in fruits of all kinds and minerals, and it is the dream of the three royal brothers to educate themselves along engineering 1 so 4.
