New Tork, Feb. 5.Members of the Society for Psychical Research await an xiously some proof of immor tality from Dr. Kiehard Hodgson of Boston. Dr. Hodgson is dead. He died about three weeks ago, but during his life he was the best-kaown, most pa tient and skillful investigator of so called psychical phenomena in Amer ica. It was under his direction that some of the most astonishing experiments were performed thru Mrs. Piper, the celebrated Boston medium. Dr. Hodg son was preparing a book on these ex periments. It was expected that in the event of his own death Dr. Hodgson would have been found to have made some careful provision for an experiment to show nis own continued existence in another world if such a thing were possible. Dr. Hodgson's death, however, was very sudden and unexpected. It is the belief of many prominent members .f the society that he had made no such prearranged plan. That if possible he will communicate thru Mrs. Piper or some other medium. They do not doubt but that he had provided for it beforehand. There is no evidence. One of the most prominent members of the society in this city, long a stu dent of and writer on these topics, discussed the death of Dr. Hodgson with an Evening Mail reporter today. His Place Hard to Fill. "Dr. Hodgson's death was a great shock to the members of the soci- ety," said he. "It came as a blow. His place will be hard to fill. The doctor died while in the middle of many interesting investigations, the lesult of which was eagerly awaited by all of us. "He was a man in the prime of life. In the ordinary course of nature he would have lived twenty years more, but his fondness for athletics proved fntal. He overexerted himself in a game and an artery burst. His end was very sudden. "We who are concerned inthe study of psychic phenomena are simply stu dents. We are endeavoring to arrive at the truth. There are many things that are true in the natural world thnt r?nnot be explained so, also, are there many things of which we have positive knowledge that cannot be ex plained or reasoned out from a purely mathematical basis. Among the things which we hold to be true is that the soul of man, after having departed to another estate, is not able, instantly, to enter into com munication with living beings. It re quires time to 'find itself.' The time required may be a day, a week, a month, maybe a year or more. We know of instances where messages have come from departed souls within twenty-four hours after death. Others have com municated within a week, and still oth ers have not been heard from for months, and in some cases years have gone by. We have absolutely no man ner of knowing the conditions or the circumstances that surround the de parted souls. Expect to Hear from Dr. Hodgson. 'This much is positive, however, that Dr. Hodgson will, as soon as he can, communicate with some medium. Phe nomena of this nature was his study while alive. Would he not, therefore,' endeavor to aid us who were his fellow students and associates to the extent of his power after he had passed to an other state of being. "The report that he had arranged to communicate thru Mrs. Piper, or thru any other specified person, is all non sense. While Mrs. Piper possesses ex traordinary powers, yet that would not mean, necessarily, that she would prove an acceptable medium for communica tion from Dr. Hodgson or from an other particular person who had passe' to another state of being. We believe that a departed soul, after it has ac quired sufficient strength and has mas tered, to the proper degree, its environ ment, will use the medium that is best adapted to it. And that medium may be any person whose spirit is attuned and in accord with that of the departed, and, further, that is receptive at the time the effort is made to communicate. The entire matter is one that is be yond the explanation of mortals. Stu dents of the phenomena have been con vinced of the truth of certain funda mentals: That there is communication with departed souls, and that this com munication comes in such a manner that its authenticity is beyond doubt. Those of us who are members of this society, and I dare say many others who are not formally allied with it, are study ing it just as the scientist would study his phenomena, or as the astronomer would study the, heavens. "Of one thing, however, you may be positivethat no arrangement whatso ever was made between Dr. Hodgson and Mrs. Piper for soul communication. I received a letter from,her the other day, and it made no mention whatever of any such pact, and had it been in existence, Mrs. Piper surely would have told me of it." It is believed that Professor James H. Hyslop of Columbia university will succeed Dr. Hodgson as secretary of the Psychical Research society. SHOOTING ON TRAIN CAUSES WILD SCRAMBLE Special to The Journal. Sioux Falls, S.

Washington, Feb. 5.When tire ways and means committee of the house of representatives is ready, Wednesday, to begin its hearings on the Marshall bill, providing for the removal of the inter nal revenue tax on alcohol, denaturized, for use in the arts and industries, it will confine itself, for the most part, to se curing answers to two questions, (1) will the passago of the bill materially reduce federal revenues? and (a) will it be possible to recovor the denaturalized product and so use it as a 'beverage? Upon the answers made to these ques tions will depend the fate of the Mar shall bill. The former question will be answered by Secretary Shaw and Mr. Yerkes, commissioner of internal revenue, who will produce statistics to show that the effect of the bill, if enacted, would per haps be to decrease the revenues from $150,000 to $250,000 a year, an incon siderable sum. If these are the out side figures, there can be no revenue ob jection to the proposed legislation. The second question will be answered by Secretary Wilson of the agricultural department, and by Dr. Wiley, chief government chemist who will show that while denaturized alcohol can be recov ered, the cost of such recovery will be several times the cost of original dis tillation, so there would be no danger of the Marshall bill increasing the use of alcohol as a beverage. Tawney's Objection. In a recent letter to S. M. Owen, edi tor of Farm^, Stock and Home, pub- lishedL a-t Minneapolis, Representative Jam 2, A Ta ney of Minnesota, said: "Thus far, the best efforts of con gressmen and even scientists have not been able to discover how alcohol can be denaturized to avoid its again converted into potable alcohol, and thus defeating the collection of the tax." I he question course is pertinent. JZ l\B dePbeing efld ,wi answoe ere the Marshall bill involves any moral issue. The hearings are ex pected to demonstrate that alcohol can be denaturized so as thoroly to prevent its subsequent use as a beverage, and if this is the case, the only question in volved in the bill is one of commerce and industry. Answered, by Wiley. PT\'B' W Wil ey chief of the chem- istry bureau of the agricultural depart ment writes as follows to a prominent member of the house: "It is true that it is very*difficult so to denaturize alcohol that the skilled chemist cannot by patience and labor secure at least a partion of the alcohol in a potable state. The cost of purify ing the alcohol, however, in such cases must necessarily be greater than the tax which is now levied upon ifc There fore, there can be no danger of any practical method which could escape the notice of the internal revenue of restoring denatured alcohol, since it can only be done by distillation." An exhaustive report on the subject of alcohol in the manufactures and arts was made by a joint committee of con gress, Deo. 17, 1898. Senator Piatt of Connecticut was the chairman of this special committee. Here is a quota tion from its report: Proof from Old World. "We have also given much attention to the question whether alcohol which has been thus methylated can be re stored to its original condition by any process known to chemistry. Some con tend that it can be and some that it cannot. We believe that denaturizing agents could be used which would make its restoration to a potable condition practically impossible. If methylation in this country were, as in England, Germany and other countries, under the control of the government, its use could be freely permitted without danger of restoration of the alcohol to its normal state so it could be sold for beverage purposes. Again, if the extraction o the methyl alcohol or other denaurizmg agent from the methylated compound is at all possible, it could not be done ex cept with such expensive and extensive apparatus as would render detection easv. It by no means follows that if by a fractional distillation or other treat ment of a small quantity of methylated alcohol the article can be restored to the condition of grain alcohol, it can be done to any extent necessary to make such operation commercially profitable. No Effect on Revenues. "Admitting for the sake of the argu ment that such result might theoretically be attained, it is only by the treatment of large quantities and in a column still that it could be done in sufficient vol ume to have any perceptible effect upon the revenues. If it could be done at all it could not be done in secret. The sup posed analogy between a business car ried on to extract denaturizing agents from so-called methlated alcohol and 'moonshine' distillation does not exist. "We firmly believe that the United States government would be able to de tect and prevent frauds in the matter of the restoration of methylated alco hol to its original beverage condition as England, Germany or any other nation is, and have no hesitation in saying that under proper regulations and restric tions the use oiT methylated alcohol without tax, for all purposes for which it is adapted, could be safely permit- ted." Prevention of Fraud. The question as to whether the gov ernment would be able to supervise the free use of alcohol in the arts and manufactures so as to prevent fraud may be somewhat simplified and illu mined when it is understood what suc cess the government has had along that line under existing legislation. Speak ing on this point, Representative Mar shall of North Dakota, the author of the bill, says: "It is probably not generally known, but it is a fact, that under the existing laws, the use of pure grain or ethyl al cohol is permitted .for the fortification of sweet wines,1,free fromamended the1 tax, under act of Oct 1890 as by the act of June 30, 1894. Under this law, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1904, there were 3,473,446 taxable gallons of alcohol used free of tax, and for the fiscal year Jending June 30, 1905, there were 3,430,819 gallons used in the fortification of such wineB. No Frauds Reported. "It will be noted that this is not denaturized alcohol, and that the chances for fraud are much greater than in the use of denaturized alcohol yet, the internal revenue commissioner does not report any frauds. While this does not bear strictly upon the subject of the recovery of denaturized alcohol, it is reasonable to suppose that if pure alcohol can be handled under such con ditions, there would certainlv be much less risk in handling the denaturized product. "Furthermore, vinegar is made from the same raw material, and by practi cally the same process as distilled spir its. The manufacturer is required to produce alcohol of not more than 20 per cent proof, and the sale of vinegar co*aining mere than 2 per cent of al- VALENTINES Unique and Beautiful.

"It may be said further that there is no tax on wood alcohol, and there is no regulation permitting the mixing of untaxed wood alcohol and taxed gram alcohol, thereby greatly cheapening the product and defrauding the government to the percentage of wood alcohol mixed. No complaint of fraud has ever been reported against the manufactur ers of vinegar or the mixers of wood alcohol. It would seem that there is no reason why, if the vinegar manufac turer, the manufacturer of sweet wines, and the mixers of wood alcohol, can be trusted, the men who use alcohol in the arts and industries cannot also be trusted. "All the countries that have under taken the use of alcohol in the arts have been successful in preventing frauds, and that to a degree which per mits a relaxation of the regulations It would seem that the years of satisfac tory experience of these various govern ments ought to be sufficient as an ob ject lesson to -the United States./' Owing to the mutilation of a valua ble antique head of Minerva, presented in 1860 by the composer Halevy to the Beaux Arts, a proposal to have casts made from all important sculptures France belonging to the state has been made.

Yerkes that may result in a fight in court. airs. Mizner's determination to build in the near future the Yerkes hospital that under her husband's will was to be erected after her death is the cause of the contention. It is this that brought Louis Owsley, chief executor of the estate, on a hurried trip to this city on Saturday. Shortly after her husband's death, Mrs. Yerkes announced that she did not wait until her own death to ave begun, but that she would use part of the estate funds and build it under her own supervision. At once there was a hitch. Word was sent that before anything definite was done it would be best to consult fully with the executors. Mr. Owlsey declared that the will was very plain regard ing the hospital project and that the executors did not feel authorized to al low any of the estate funds to be used fpi the purpose while Mrs. Mizner lives. Mrs. Mizner was vexed, and it is said told Mr. Owlsey that if an attempt was made to overthrow her pet scheme she might not consent to the probating of the will she would either appeal to the Illinois courts for her widow's dower of one-third of the entire estate or she would go into court here and ask for authority to use $800,000 of the estate funds for beginning the hos pital.
