Scientists Will Not Summon
Spirits in Answer to Skep
tic's Challenge
BOTH ..CALL IT NONSENSE
New York, Jan. 20. Vrof. James H.
Hyslop, secretary of the American So
ciety for Psychical Itesearch, laughed
fvhen asked what reply he cared to make
to Joseph F. IUnn's offer of $3000 to
Sir Oliver Lodge or to the Research So
ciety if thev or anybody else can pro
duce a medium who. under scientific
analysis, will yield the slightest man
ifestation of communication with the
spirit world or perform a feat in the
least degree supernatural. Kinn is n
fruit and produco broker and n former
member of the llrsarch Society.
"The whole thing is ridiculous said
Professor Hyslop. "Mr. Uinn knows it
j. ,:,ii.Ia,,o rvr cenrs he has been
goining around making .the samo.oucr,
and in this instance, in iotu ""
precedent, the oiler

That is the only thing to do with Mr.
Kinn. You can't take him seriously,
so ignore him " .... ..
Asked about the contents of the letter
from Or Richard Hodgson, which ISinu
nays he has locked up in his safe, and
for a statement of the. contents of which
he offers his ?u000 reward. Doctor
Hyslop said :
"It is not at all probable that Ioc-
tor Hoqison can remember wnat ncwUh B. Penrose. It. Smoot and M.
wrote to Mr Titan before he died How crane. 0ut of it all will oome some
manv of "us remember what we have
written in letter"? I couldn t. for the
life of me, remember the contents of
probably more than two or three let
ters I have written No, the whole
thing is not worth serious consideration.
Simply say we intend to ignore Mr.
Kinn now. as we have done on similar
occasions in the past."
"Nonsense." Sajs Sir Oliver
Sir Oliver Lodge's comment on the
Kinn offer was in the same strain.
"Nonsense, nothing but nouene."
he declared. "You cannot get things
by simplj offering money. Why, I
would net pay an attention to it if
520,000 were offered. 1 am not seeking
a controversy with anj one.
"Rubbish, all rubbish. As I s.iiJ
before, I will have none of it."
Kinn Sas The "re Afraid
"Of course thev icnore me. ' said
Mr. Rinn. when the comment of Sir
Oliver and Triif H.csIod bad been re
counted. "What else can they do but
ignore me' The don't date to come
out in public and meet my challenge.
"It is easy for Dr. 11 slop to dis
miss my challenge by saying Dr. Hodg
son cannot remember what is in that
letter I hae securely locked away in
my safe. I tell Prof. II slop that if
Dr. Hodgson's spirit, or shade or what
ever you want to call it, remembers
anything of this world, he remembers
the contents of that letter. If his shade
has anv memory left. I will stake oery

EVENING PUBLIC
TREATY SHOWDOWN
Treaty's Bipartisan Conference
Postponed Seek to Avoid
Senate Floor Fight
STILL SEE RAY OF HOPE
B the Avsoclated Press
Washington. Jan. 20. Negotiations
between Democratic and Republican
leaders of the Senate who apparently
have approached 11 deadlock on the peace
treaty compromise will not be resumed
until tomorrow , the meeting of tho
bipartisan committee planned for today
having been postponed because of the
absence of Senator Lcnroot, of Wiscon
sin, oue of the Republican leaders.
There were indications that some
senatoVs on each side welcomed the
delay and there were many conferences
during the day to perfect plans for the
committee meeting which may bring
n final showdown on the question of
continuing the negotiations
There was much discussion of what
course friend of the treaty should take
if the bipartisan negotiations ended
without an agreement. Senator Hitch
cock, of Nebraska, the administration
leader, has told the Republicans that
in such an eventuality he proposed to
moce to take up the treaty in the open
Senate, but he said today he would not
do that until nil hope of compromise by
private negotiation discussion had dis
appeared. Meantime it dec eloped that some
Democratic senators were inclined to
the belief that nothing would be gained
by throwing the treat back into the
Scuate in the near future These sena
tors disagreed with Senator Hitchcock
that a majority would be certain to
support such a move, while among Re
publicans it was confidently predicted
that it would fail.
It was suggested that should the un
official binartisac committee come to a
final deadlock an effort might be made
to put through the resolution of Senator
Underwood. Democrat. Alabama, to
create au official conciliation committee
of ten senators.
The titular parti leaders on both
sid"s, however, indicated that the saw 1
