DEAD STILL LIVE
Eminent Scientist Tells Audi-
I "ence That Victims Exist in
Happier Spheres
MANY FIGHT FOR SEATS
. 1'arallies were not lirokcn up by the
fc'ar; the vnrious members merely were
kepsratetl for n time, to bo reunited
Inter when those still iu tliiH existence
"pahs on."
This (?rent word of comfort was
brought to sorrowing families bereft bv
the war by Sir Oliver Lodge. British
scientist, in his nddreMi on "The Real
ity of the Unseen" at the Academy of
Music last night.
At the conclusion of an immensely
gripping dissertation on things spirituul
and psychic the scientist hud made a
deep impression on all present, even
.though he failed to convince many.
r The speaker prefaced his remarks ou
tho "unseen" with an explanatory ad
dress on the solar system and things
manifestly true in the sight of every
body. From this angle he launched ou
his talk ou the body and soul.
"A thing, If it is great enough," nid
tho scientist, "is coucchid by the Holy
Ghost. Then it is incarnated. AVc can
Bee the body, but we caunot sec the
soul. The soul wields the body. The
soul controls the body. The brain is the
connection between mind and mutter.
, "Here in this present state we have
a material body. Later we will hac
on ethereal body. !
To Meet Friends Only
"Hereafter we will be able to asso
ciate only with those with whom we
have sympathy. We will bo able to
associate only with our friends. Those
who have led bullish lives, who have
lived for themselves alono and have
made no associations or friends will he
lonely indeed.
"Memory and character are not lim
ited to the body. They arc not a part
of the body. The body is only their in
strument. "When we quit this body and go ou
into the other world, as we call it. we
will tnKe with us nothing but ourselves

"Self-consciousness is a perfect nui -
fcanre here. It is worth while to make,
ourselves worth living with, us we will I

nity.
Slain Soldier Happy
"We arc not far separated from the
other side. We are all of one family
now.
"Would that the mothers of America
who lost their sous in the war knew
and understood the condition iu which
their ofFspriug now exist!
"Those bojs urc happy aud busy.
They are doiug their little jobs just as
they did them here. They arc anxious
that you should not be sorrowful.
"We are separated from those who
have gone before only by a veil of the
senses. There is no gulf between us.
If there is a gulf it is between heaven
and hell, not between heaven aud earth.
If there is a chasm, love oridges tho
chasm.
"Do not let a horrible thing like
war break up our familfs. It is sad
for these young fellows, iu a way, to
have been cut off n their youth with
their tasks uncompleted, but they died
In a noble cause.
"They are not gone from us entirely.
They merely have emigrated before us.
They 'are uot disembodied. I hey are

Merciful That AVc Do Not Know
"It is a merciful dispensation that
has "screened us from so vast a uni
verse as that ling beyond. It is merci-ful-because
wc can attend to our daily
dunes, do the work that falls to our
portion, fulfill the tasks that arc im
posed on us.
"If wc could perceive the happiness
beyond the veil, wo would bo over
whelmed." 1 Sir Oliver then explained that after
death tierpons go to the place in the
""sjjereafter for which they are fitted.
There may be people. lie con
tinued, "who are so low that they cau
associate only with devils. But I have
never seen such persous.
"There arc others who may be saints
and may be fitted at death for the
glories of Heaven. Far be it from
me to deny it.
"The spiritual universe ,s the foun

"We speak of the wond to come. I

TOMKINS IS SHY
Episcopal Rector Draws Sharp
Line Between This Belief
and Christianity
SAYS CONWELL WAS MISLED
"I do not -ee how spirituuliMs cau
be earnest , devoted Christians. On the
other hand, 1 readilv cau see how an
earnest. devoted Christian like Sir
Oliver Lodge can believe he has been
in communication with those who are
gone.".
The Rev. Dr. Floyd W. Totukin.
rector of Holy Trinity KpNcopal
Church, who introduced the uotcd Brit
ish scientist apd investigator of psychic
phenomena, at his lecture last night,
thus conveyed his impression of the.
Christian aspect of spiritualism toda.
Doctor Ioniums wus enthusiastic

"He proved his point ery clearly."
said Doctor TomUins, "What lie said
was purely scientific and religious. He
did not touch on our relationship with
the spirits of tho dead, or ou the means
of communication with these spirits. He
probably will take this mutter up in
ins second lecture.
Docto;' Tomkius reserves judgment
as to whether it is possible to estab
lish communication between spiritual
uud physical worlds. If possible, he
doubts that it is right and Christian.
Doubts Spiritual Communication
"I have alvvujs doubted whether
communication with the spirits of the
dead could be brought about," said
Doctor Tomkins. "This phase of the
question does not appeal to inc. Un
doubtedly it is true that communication
with spirits was forbidden in the olden
time, and T have no doubt it is forbid
den now. iu spite of the arguments of
those who urge that it was forbidden
oul.v to the Jews of Old Testament days
for special reasons.
"1 should not fiel justified iu seek
iug a necromancer. I should feel thut
1 was going contrar.v to Cod's will.
Beyond that, it would not ijppcal to me.
And this oTilv sbows, to mv mind, how
our own feelings are inclined to what
is basically right and Cod's will. It
would not appeal to me to go to a
woman uud ask her to let pie .hear mj 1
fntlior s or my brother s voice. If
would seem to me a vulgar thing to do.
T need uo assurance that they are on
joying the bliss of heaven."
Couvvell Had Hallucination
Doctor Tomkins was linked to ex
press an opinion on Dr. Kussel Cou
well'.s experiences with the spirit of
his wife.
"I have not seen Doctor Couvvell
since, and have only the newspaper
reports of hi- experience. I believe Doc
tor Couvvell simply had an hallucination.

JUDGE PATTERSON TESTIFIES
A sweeping denial of statements alleg
ing he induced witnesses iu a murder
case to change their testimony was made
today by William F. Rorkc, lawyer and
state legislator,
llorke is on trial before Judge Albert
W. Johnson iu Quarter Sessions Court
on charges of conspiracy and suborna
tion of perjury. He was under direct
examination in his own defense for
thirty minutes this morning.
Court adjourned for the noon recess
when the lawyer's direct testimony was
CJiicludcd. His cross-examiuatlon opened
mo atternoon session.
The state leiiresentative was called to
the staud by his counsel, J. Washington
I.ogue. after uumerous witnesses, ii:
"ludiug judges nnd luvv.vcrs had testi
fied favorably as to his private and pro
fessioual reputation.
Judge Patterson a Witness
Judge John M. I'attersou was one of
the character witnesses hoard.
.Mr. Horkc's testimony was built
around two dates, November ' and No.
vember fi. It wus ou the latter date he
began defending Anthony Zunghi, ac
cused of murder.
Evidence given by three alleged per
jurers was to the effect thev talked about
the Znnghl case with Itorkc on Oc
tober "S, November II and November fi.
Judge I'attersou replied favorably to
questious concerning the defendaut's
reputation, privutc and professional,
when called to the stand. He was
cross-examined by James Cay Gordon,
Jr.. assistant district attorney.
"Are you tho Judge Patterson who
was candidate for Mayor of this city at
the last primaries 7V asked Gordon.
"I am, but you shouldn't hold thut
agulnst me. I wasn't elected." replied
the judge quickly and smilingly.
Patterson's Iteputatlon Praised
"They haven't found that an.v thing
against jour reputation uliyvvuy." in
terjected J. Washington Kogue. counsel
for Horke.
Another bit of byplay occurred when
Iiyron A. Milner, a state representa
tive, testified as a character witness.
"Were you a member of the Legis
lature with Mr. HorkeV" queried Mr.
Gordon.
"1 was. I was perfectly satisfied,
and the people appeared to be," re
sponded Milner.
"Are they still satisfied with you?"
asked Gordon.
"I will find that out at the uext elec
tion," vvas the reply.
Among those who testified to the good
reputation of Mr. Korkc were Judges
Mac.Veille and Bartlett, of the Munici
pal Court; John It. K. Scott, K. L. D.
Uoach, sraetury of the committee of
seventy ; Joseph l Guffney, United
States Commissioner Howard Long uud
George l.rodbeck, clerk of the United
States District Court.
Evidence tending to establish an alibi
for William F. Korkc, accused of con
spiracy and subornation of perjury, nnd
uu incident iu which Judge John M.
Patterson figured marked the trial of
the lawyer and state legislator in Quar
ter Sessions Court today.
Joseph White, 1M1 South Front
street, one of forty-one character wit
nesses examined for the defense this
morning, said he was with Jlr. Korkc
iiitbf, luttor.'s office at 10 o'clock ou
the morning of November li.
White said ho accompanied the law
j or to Quarter Sessions Court on that
dute, saw Mr. Korkc uutil It i-lO o clock
and then left when the lawyer begun
defending u case.
White further testified he called at
the lawjor's office November o, and
that he saw several men whom he did
not know in Korke's private ofUce. Ho
added lie heard Itorkc say: "Tell the
truth. That is all jou have to do."
White's Testimony Important
The importance of White's testimony
is based on the statements of three men
involved in the ullcgcd subornution of
perjury who said they talked with Mr
Korke at 10 o'clock on the morning of
November I!. They said they also
talked with the lavvjer on November ."5.
The commonwealth alleges Korke in
structed the three men to give testi
mony at a murder trial differing from
that they gave at the preliminary hear
ing and the coroner's iuquest.

It sounded like good stuff mid the
chief and two movie scouts put on a
collide of overcouts apiece, tied up their
cars and started out on a round of the
piers.
The little party battled the wind that
swings around the buy like u whip and
breathlessly fought their way over tlie
mile und a ouarter to the nearest pier,
Far out on the end of the pier they
puuscd to look urouud. No Yarmouth
only the blinking red and white of the
lighthouses aud the lights of ships riding
far out.
"Look!" suddenly cried the chief
"What's that moving?"
Kyes strained against the wind ai.d

sides. It was one of those moments.
Then AU Was Still Again
"Another lighthouse." moaned Hill,
the movie operator, and all was quiet.
"Hut," said tho world's most tire

Hut the chief worked on.
He was not to lie seen in the board

It may be that later some one will

ROBBED OF $2700
AS HE FIXES AUTO
Onlooker Offers Aid and Takes
Bag While They're
Under Car
A bac coutaininc S2700 in cash was
stolen from Louis Levinstein, i cigar
dealer of Twenty-first and Master
streets, yesterday while he wan repair
inc his automobile, whieh broke down
rear Marshall street and Susquchanua
avenue. The money was taken by a man
wearing an army coat who stopped to
help Lcvlnstciu with the task.
News ofthe robbery did not leak out
until toduy. The irian who nibbed
Levinstein was accompanied by n com
panion, who ulso wore au army coat.
Both escaped. One roc off on a liRht
wagon; the other fled down Suhquu
hanou avenue.
The robbery occurred while mauy
persons were passing. Levinstein be
lieves that the men who robbed him
were acquainted with Ills business
methods. He was in the habit of bank
ing his money every Monday at a bauk
near the place where he was robbed.
When he left his store at Twenty -first
and Master streets yesterday morniug,
it is believed tlie two men followed lilm.
The police believe tlie men intended
to hold up Levinstein when opportunity
offered und escape iu the wagon. The
breakdown of Levinstein') automobile
offered u better opportunity.
When his cap suddenly stopped Levin
setin jumped out and crawled umler
neath. The strangers in the trailing
wagon got off and asked if thev could
help. Levinstein welcomed their as
bistauce, and one of tlie men crawled
under the car with him.
While Levinstein was lying flat un
der the nutoinobile, the man who was
helping him suddenly thruet his hand
in the cigar dealer's inside pocket aud
drew out the bug ot money.
Levinstein felt the book being drawn
out and tried to hold the btrauger, who
wriggled out from underneath the car,
jumped ou the wagon and drove north
ou Marshall street. His companion
ran in an opposite direction and disup-.
peared after turning down Hiiwpieliauiia
avenue.
