PENNSYLVANIA TO
BLAZE THE WAY
Citadel of Republicanism to
Uphold Protection.
TO ANSWER "SIDESTEPPERS"
Stalwart Citizenship of Keystone State
Will at the Polls Indorse the Action
of Penrose and His Colleagues In
Congress In Defeating La Follette
and His Free Trade Allies.
[Special Correspondence.]
Harrisburg, Sept 21.
Republicans of Pennsylvania have
accepted the challenge of the oppon
ents of a protectice tariff and propose
to assert themselves at the coming
election by rolling up a great ma
jority for the Republican ticket
In the recent tariff debates in Wash
ington men of the type of La Follette,
Dolllver, Cummlngs and others who
voted with the Democrats against the
Payne bill, warned Senator Penrose
and his stalwart Republican colleagues
from the Keystone state that they
"would hear from the people at the
next election" if they did not desist in
their efforts to pass the measure as
agreed upon by the protectionists.
That the people of Pennsylvania,
who are benefited more than those ol
any other state, intend to indorse the
action of their Republican representa
tlves in congress upon this subject at
the November election Is manifest
upon every hand.
For Great Popular Vote.
It is proposed that there shall ba
such an emphatic vote of approval ol
the policy of protection that the whole
world shall have reason to know how
Pennsylvania stands upon this issue.
One-very side there are evidences
of a revival of business due to the pas
sage of the tariff bill.
Mills that were closed for years are
being reopened, fires are being rekin
died in many an Idle furnace, many
thousands of coke ovens which were
long black and silent are now ablaze
and roaring joyous notes of prosperity
for labor and capital alike. Steel mills
and similar plants are working on full
time. Labor Is generally employed.
The great textile establishments lo
cated In various counties of the state
are again busy with a splendid outlook i
for the future, the shipyards along the
Delaware are taking on new men |
daily, not only to help build the great j
Dreadnoughts, which the federal gov
ernment has just contracted for. hut j
to also help construct new craft for the
merchant marine, which is already I
feeling the gratifying effects of there- j
vival of trade and industrial activity.
As a practical evidence of apprecia
tion of the work of Senator Penrose in
the framing of the tariff bill, and es
pecially his magnificent services in j
guarding the interest of his constlt- i
uents of the Keystone state, a series of j
testimonials will be given him next |
month.
First, the workingmen of Kensing- I
ton. the great textile district of the
Quaker City, propose to give expres- 1
sion to their admiration for his special !
efforts in their behalf. During the en- j
tire discussion of the tariff schedules
Senator Penrose kept in touch with a
committee of the wage earners of tills
section, and they were advised as to j
every move of those advocating a
reduction c' duties which would have
meant disaster to the manufacturing l

Tributes to Penrose.
At a meeting called by the Working
men's Protective Tariff League of
Philadelphia for Oct. 7, not only will
the men of Kensington attend in great
numbers, but thousands of women em- ;
ployed in the textile mills have re
solved to turn out to cheer Senator
Penrose.
There will be speeches from men
from the various mills, and possibly
one or more of the women will bo
given an opportunity to address the
gathering and to tell what they know
of the work of the «t?»tor and his Re
publican co leagues in the senate and
house at Washington
A call has just been sent out to the
manufacturers of Pennsylvania, sign
ed by some of the most representative
mill owners in the state, who are ar- j
ranging a testimonial banquet to Sen
ator Penrose to be given In the Belle
vue-Stvatfoni hotel in Philadelphia on
Oct. lfi in recognition of his service to
his state and the country In champion
ing the cause of protection to Ameri- .
can industries.
This promises to be a memorable oc- i
caslon.
While these gatherings will be in no i
sense political, they are indicative of 1
the feeling of the people of Penns.vl- i
vania upon the issue that has been i
squarely drawn by the socalled "down- ;
ward revisionists" of the La Follette j
school of western fr»e trade theorists. 1
The importance of a heavy Republi
can vot« throughout Pennsylvania
next November is being dwelt upon
by business men and others who were
barrassed through unsettled condition!
during the tariff agitation.
They reallz« that should the Repub- i
Mean vote In this state in November be '
small it would at once be commented I
upon by La Follette and his coterie i
and pointed to as a verification oft
their predictions that "the people" i
would be heard from. t
Not only would this be taken as an i
expression of disapproval of the work 1
of the Republican congressmen from
Pennsylvania in support of protective i
policies, but It would at once give en- i
couragement to the opponents of pro- 1
tection all over the country to reopen I
the tariff fight and to sel»k to elect t
congressmen next year who would vote
"SOONTALKTD DEAD"
i So Declares Bishop Samuel Fal
lows of Chicago.
"TELEPATHY ESTABLISHED."
Prominent Divine of Reformed Epis
copal Church Says He Never Saw a
Spirit, but Has Known People Who
Have Seen Spirits—New Science of
"Immortal ism."
"Telepathy is uu established fact. In
| recent years great strides have been
i made in the explanation of psychic
; phenomena, and in the years to come
| the science of communication with the
| dead will be made a part of the curric
| ulum of great educational Institutions.
I As its study becomes systematized and
I more widely spread greater advances
will be made, aud some day we will
talk with the spirits as we now talk
with material persons."
This statement is made by Bishop
Samuel Fallows of the Ueformed Epis
i copal church. lie is well known In
! Chicago, where he resides.
J Future advancement in the science
S of "immortallsm," which is spiritual
j Ism with the "fakes" left out, will
some day bring it to the point where
' it will be studied by the masses just
| as they now delve into Latin, arithme
: tic, geography or grammar, according
to Bishop Fallows, who spoke at St
Paul's Reformed Episcopal church on
"Why Am I an linmortalist and Not a
Spiritualist?"
Tiie bishop made startling statements
to the writer. lie frankly states that
he formerly fought shy of spiritualism
and that he is just beginning to learn.
In the enlightened days to come, says
Dr. Fallows, we shall be able to con
verse With spirits of departed friends
and relatives. Their state will be made
known to us through these communi
cations. They will be able to advise
us on knotty problems, he adds.
Hasn t Vet Seen a Spirit.
Bishop Fallows quotes a speech of
Dr. Adam Clarke, in which that cele
brated commentator said:
"X believe that spirits may, accord
ing to the order of God, in the laws of
their place of residence, have Inter
course with this world and become vis
ible to mortals."
"Did you ever see a spirit?" Bishop
Fallows was asked.
"No, I never have,"was the answer,
"but I know persons who claimed to
have seen and talked with spirits, in
telligent members of my own congre
gation, whose words I have no reason
to doubt
"1 discouraged them in their belief. 1
now feel that their experiences were
of great value and that I sustained an
incalculable loss by not going deeper
into the matter with them."
"You really believe, then, that spir
its may be visible to material persons
and that they may talk with and influ
ence a material mind?" he was asked.
"I do firmly believe that. There are
well authenticated cases on record
where important actions of noted men
had beeu influenced by some super
natural communication.
"Mysterious Agencies."
j "In many cases they were unable to
j Identify the mysterious agencies. They
| had merely an intangible feeling that
j they should change their course. But
! in other cases they were able to re
member the spirit who talked to them,
to repeat its exact words and to de
! scribe its appearance. These instances
| cannot be doubted, as they come from
| men high in their professions.
"There are great truths in spiritual
ism. Many spiritualistic phenomena
we cannot understand, but we have to
idrnit them. 1 have called the new
1 science "Immortal Ism' because it de-
I [lends for its existence upon the im
mortality of the soul, In which we all
believe, and the preservation of iden
tity beyond the grave. Immortallsm Is
simply spiritualism with all the frauds
and trickery eliminated. On account
of these frauds spiritualism has been
shunned by many right thinking peo
ple, but Immortallsm will claim their
most earnest attention."
In support of his belief Bishop Fal
lows quoted from many eminent men
who have expressed similar views.

NEW ERA IN OCEAN TRAVEL
The Lusitania's Transatlantic Record
Forecasts a "Three Day Boat."
The sensational transatlantic record
of the steamship Lusltnnln marks a
wonderful advance in oceanic travel.
In crossing from lightship to lightship
in 4 days, 11 hours and 42 minutes she
opens the era of the "four day boat"
Now the nautical sharps are figuring
just how soon a "three day boat" can
be built.
Never before has man crossed the
Atlantic so quickly as did the passen
gers who stepped ashore from the
giant Cunarder. They had clipped a
day front the ocean "barrier. They had
set a new standard for speed. They
had smashed all previous records for
transatlantic travel. They were the
first voyagers to leave London on Sat
urday and Queenstown on Sunday and
arrive in New York on a Thursday.
Science, skill and unlimited expend
iture have been striving for a quar
ter of a century for tljg prize cap
tured by the Lusltnnln. The six day
boat set the early records more than
twenty-five years ago. The five day
boat came along ten years later. Fri
day landings in New York have been
common ever since the christening
days of Lucanla and Campania, fifteen
years ago.

COURSE FOR AEROS
Auto and Aviation Park on Jersey
Meadows.
WILL COST OVER $2,000,Q00.
Aim Is to Make the Establishment the
Center of Aerial Racing and Experi
mentation In This Country—How th»
Automobile Track, Five Miles Long,
Will Be Built.
Before another year has gone by
New York city will have within fifteen
: minutes of its downtown section not
alone the largest and finest automobile
nice track in the country, but also a
fully equipped aviation park for the
trying out and racing of aeroplanes
j and other air craft. The proposed au
j tomobile race track will he live miles
long, aud its estimated cost is between
.$2.50ij,000 and $3,000,000. The aim will
be to make the park the center of all
aerial races and test ! in this country.
A syndicate, of which I*. S. Parish,
; president of a realty company, is the
head, which includes Arthur Alexan
der and George Robertson, winner of
the last Vanderbilt cup race, and
Worthington M. Jacobus, a New Jer
sey civil engineer, has obtained an
option on 400 acres of land on the
Ilackensack meadows, lying between
the Newark plank road and the Penn
sylvania railroad tracks, on which it
is proposed to build the park. A num
j ber of well known automobile manu
facturers are also interested In the
project, their interests being looked
after by Messrs. Robertson and Alex
j ander.
The land is at present only partly
developed; but, according to the terms
of the option, the selling company
agrees to fill In and improve the prop
erty. Mr. Jacobus has drawn the
i plans of the track, every bit of which
| will be within the view of the spec
; tators in the grand stand. The latter
I will be a huge structure, capable of
seating close to 100,000 persons. He
has also completed plans for couven
i iences required by the experimenters
i and racers with airships. The track
j itself will be built from the sugges
| tions of Robertson and will consist of
tin oval shaped two mile course for
I speed racing, surrounded by a three
; mile course which, with the former,
will be used for road racing. On the
outer track, directly opposite the grand
stand, will be n series of hills nnd
curves, including a hairpin turn, on
which It is expected a thorough test
of the cars in the races will be had.
One of the proposed hills will bo 120
feet high, with a 12 to IS per cent
grade.
Coming Into the straight, the course
will be slightly downward, and It is
expected that a speed of 100 miles an
hour will be attained by the racing
cars. Several plans for the safety of
both the spectators and the drivers
are also under consideration, the one
meeting the most favor and the most
likely to be adopted being the build
ing of the track a foot or two below
the surrounding ground, the latter to
be banked with thick layers of soft
sand, so that if a car should suddenly,
because of some accident to the steer
ing gear, swerve from the track it
would quickly be brought to a stop
without Injury to the driver or the
spectators who might be near by.
Plans for financing the project are
well under way, a number of well
known automobile manufacturers hav
ing pledged large sums of money for
the purpose.

POISONING GROUND SQUIRREL
Results of Tests In California to Kill
Destructive Animal.
j Interesting results were recently an
| noutired by the forest service as a re-
I suit of the campaign conducted in
I southern California by Stanley E.
| Piper, expert of the biological survey
j of the department of agriculture, to ex-
I terminate ground squirrels and go
! pliers.
! Extensive experiments were made to
I determine the best means of killing off
these destructive little animals, and it
was found that the most effective re
j suits were obtained by usftjg poisoned
green or ripening barley heads. The
j squirrels are exceedingly fond of this
I green herbage and eagerly ate the pol
! soned food placed along runways,
j Tests were also made with oats, wheat,
j barley, raisins, prunes, dried apples
I and cracked corn, but these did not
prove so successful.
While green barley proved most suc
cessful for poisoning ground squirrels,
yet the difficulty of procuring a suffi
cient supply in all localities led to
dried barley grain being tried. The
grain was treated with strychnine sul
phate, saccharine and eggs, and, al
though this combination proved very
' destructive to the squirrels, it had
I practically no effect upon doves and
i quail. In fact, a deliberate attempt
was made to poison these birds at
their watering places, but no bad ef
fect resulted. The poisoned grain was
also used in fields grazed over by
sheep and produced no ill effects what
ever.
The experiments also proved that
gophers were partial to raisins and
dried apples, and these were success
fully used in the poison experiment. It
was found that by sprinkling the ap
ples or raisins with the strychnine so
lution as effective results were pro
! duced as could be obtained by insert
ing the poison into the fruit.
The experiments for extermination
of squirrels also resulted in the death
of a considerable number of rabbits,
and in other experiments it was found
that poisoned oats proved very effec
tive In killing both Jacks and cotton
tails. Green alfalfa was also used with
good results for the same purpose.
PAULHAN, FRENCH AVIATOR.
Winner of World's Record For Dura
tion of Flight at Rheims Meet.
Louis Paulhan, the French aviator
who recently won the world's record
for duration of flight at the aviation
meet in Rlieims, France, is twenty-six
years old. While still a mechanic In
the workshop where the dirigible Vlile
de Paris was constructed two years
ago he won a prize for a toy aeroplane
at M. Lepine's toy exhibition. The
prize was an aeroplane offered by Vol
sin, and it was in this machine that
Paulhan made his great flight the other
day.
When he wou the prize Paulhan ex
hibited it to his friends, but as it had
no engine and he was not rich enough
to buy one it was of no use to him at
that time. A few friends, however,
formed a little company, bought a mo
tor and sent Paulhan out to give ex
hibition flights.
Ills experience accordingly dates
from the beginning of July of this
year, when after a very few practice
flights he exhibited his machine at
Doula, where he reached the record
height of 400 feet, lie also flew for
1 hour 32 minutes. Later on he exhib
ited the aeroplane at Dunkirk, where
he won some $2,000 In prizes. Paul
han Is married and has one child.
Men's Dress.
According to the opinion of Mr.
Thornton, who presided at a recent
conference of the foreman tailors of
London, men's dress will soon undergo
a great change and the present styles
will give way to "more classic" gar
ments. Knee breeches and fancy
waistcoats will l»e Introduced, and the
superiority <>f these garments over to
day's long trousers and waistcoats will
insure their popularity. A Itusslan
nobleman who visited London a few
weeks ago said that he eared little
whether the style was Introduced or
not: he would i.'dopt It. Two things
were necessary, he said, "shapely

HYPNOTISM CUBES
NERVOUS DISEASES
How Philadelphia Lawyer Recov
ered From Asthma.
PHYSICIAN WRITES A REPORT
Man Made 111, In Doctor'* Opinion, by
"Auto Suggestion"—Must Have the
Patient's Consent In Order to Effect
Relief Through Mental Suggestion.
Used In Hysteria and Neurasthenia.
That hypnotism has been used suc
cessfully for several years In the treat
ment of many cases of nervous disor
ders, though never without the knowl
edge and consent both of the patient
and of the members of his family, has
become known after the publication in
the Journal of Psychology of a report
presented by Dr. Charles D. Fox of
-120 Tine street, Philadelphia.
The particular case with which Dr.
Fox's report dealt was that of a law
yer, designated only as Mr. X., who.
Dr. Fox said, had been cured of asth
ma by hypnotism, but Dr. Fox admits
that the science of mental suggestion
is used frequently and effectively in
many cases that come to the nervous
department of the Hahnemann hospi
tal, Philadelphia, with which he is con
nected.
"It should be understood," said Dr.
Fox, "that hypnotism is used only in
selected cases where there api>enrs to
be no pathological condition to account
for the illness and which therefore of
fer no opportunity for the employment
of ordinary methods of treatment. It
has proved especially valuable in treat
ing various forms of hysteria and neu
rasthenia and In curbing and curing
alcoholism and morphinism.
Must Have Person's Consent,
Questioned as to the extent to which
hypnotic influence should dominate an
other's will, Dr. Fox emphatically laid
down the proposition that it is impos
sible to put a person in the hypnotic
state without that person's consent,
lie intimated that in his opinion any
plea that a crime had been committed
under hypnotic suggestion was absurd
unless the person hypnotized had de
liberately submitted his will at the
outset to the control of another, but In
his account of his treatment of his pa
tient, "Mr. X.," be gave remarkable
instances of the extent to which sug
gestions made while the patient was
in a hypnotic state had been carried
out after the patient bad returned to
his normal condition.
On one occasion it was suggested to
X. while under the hypnotic influence
that exactly S7O minutes later hp
should ! »>k at Ills watch and write
down the time as if for reference.
Just ST.') minutes after the suggestion
was made 1'.., who at that time was in
a perfectly normal condition, yielding
t>> a sudden and uncontrollable Im
pulse, took out his watch and recorded
(lie time. The difference of three min
utes. Dr. Fos thought, might have
been due to a difference In the time of
the different watches. On another oc
casion X.. having been told while in
the hypnotic state that he would be
alone In the room, absolutely failed to
recognize the presence of another phy
sician. Dr. Kulp, though Dr. Ivulp.
after X. had been restored to his nor
mal condition, spoke to liim repeatedly
and even took him by the hand.
11l Through Auto Suggestion.
Mr. X., tlie lawyer, is described as
thirty-eight years old. For several
years he had suffered from asthma,
and since 1000 the coughing attacks,
which usually came on at night, were
succeeded by a condition like that of
somnambulism. The patient, while ap
parently rational and in full posses
sion of his senses and.for instance, as
was proved by experiment, able to
play an excellent game of chess, be
came unusually loquacious, discussing
his private affairs most freely, but
after an interval in which he regained
his normal balance he remembered
nothing of what be bad snld or done.
Dr. Fox became convinced that the
coughing attacks and the somnambu
listic periods that followed them were
due to auto suggestion superinduced by
the fumes of asthma powders which,
It was learned, tho patient frequently
had inhaled until he fell asleep.
"Tho experience of falling asleep
having occurred many times," says I)r.
Fox in his report, "a psychic short cut
became established, and the more high
ly elaborated auto hypnotic or somnam
bulistic condition began to appear fol
lowing a severe cough, even without
tite asthma powder having been used
The consequence was tho result of as
sociation of Ideas. The beneficial re
sults of suggestion during the hyp
notic state became apparent imme
diately following his first treatment.
On his second visit the patient said he
had slept deeply three nights out of
five without having been awakened bv
an attack of asthma. While tinder
hypnosis tho second time the sugges
tion was made that paroxysms of
coughing and somnambulistic attacks
would never occur again.
"Since Mr. X. came under my care,"
the report goes on, "ho has been hyp
notized only eight times. At present
he sleeps well without being awakened
by asthmatic attacks, and Instead of
having paroxysms of coughing when
he arises In the morning only a few
coughs occur. In fact, he now has no
paroxysms whatever, and since the
first treatment he has not had a single
one of any of his various somnambu
listic attacks."
The Monkey Versus the Rose.
Alfred Frampton, P. R. I. B. A., a
well known Londoner, has written an
open letter, in which he says:
"The time has arrived when the
royal botanic gardens and zoological
gardens should be amalgamated.
"The zoological gardens should be
Increased in area to receive the botan
ic gardens. It would be a great public
