BY JEAN CONAN DOYLE,
Widow of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
(Coprrlsht. 1930. by North American News
paper Alliance. All rlshts reserved.)
CROWBOROUGH, Sussex, England,
September 6—So many people have
written to ask me why spiritualism has
helped me through the dark valley of
the shadow of death—which my heart
and life have had to traverse, in los
ing my beloved husband.
When his dear presence was sud
denly taken from me to the utter sense
of desolation —the void—the silence—
the grey lonely path in life stretching
ahead of me without that dear hana
in mine was overwhelming—everything
seemed to have gone from life—'when
gradually I realized a w-onderful light
was shining ahead showing me the
way to cross the dark, dark valley.
What was that light? It was a
God-given knowledge which brought
balm and comfort immeasurable to my
stricken heart. A knowledge which
gave me strength to carry on—strength
within a week of hta passing over to
sit and face 10,000 people for nearly
three hours at the Albert Hall at the
wonderful memorial service to my hus
band.
That knowledge (not faith or belief)
filled my heart with an inexpressible
comfort and a great certainty.
It was that I knew my husband would
and could communicate with me, that
he would be able to make his psychic
presence felt In our home, that he
would be able to keep to cloae touch
with our dally lives and so help and
guide us until he greets us at the
little gate that was called death.
Death Is Only a Gateway.
That knowledge, which I have tested
time after time to sixteen years of In
vestigation and have proved to be 100
per cent true, was my bulwark In the
great storm of my life.
What is that knowledge? It is that
death is only a small gateway leading
into another vibration of life, the
etheric vibration, as solid to those who
live to it as the material world to to us.
The veil is very, very thin between the
two spheres of existence.
There are, of course, higher and
higher spheres—steps in the ladder of
spiritual evolution. Those to the . next
sphere of life can and do see Into ours,
but only those to our material plane
who have that God-given gift called
clairvoyance, which Bt. Paul called the
discerning of spirits, can see into the
etheric sphere. _
Hew do I know these things? I will
tell you. I have been to touch with
people on the other side of the thin
veil dividing this world from the other
spheres of existence doeens and dozens
of times— through mediums all over
the world, in the presence of many wit
nesses. , , .
1 have heard at a private seance of
ours three spirit people’s voices talking
simultaneously, the medium breathing
In a deep, deep trance all the time; and
three spirit people at the same time,
talking to three of our friends, re
minding them of old days and things
only known to the earth sitters and the
spirit people.
Prophecies Fulfilled.
I have seen all the signs of Pente
cost In our upper room on a Sunday,
a. rushing wind, the tongues of fire, a
great voice addressing each from above,
prophesying something to my husband,
which It was impossible for anyone to
the world to know would happen, but
which was fulfilled within twenty-four
hours of the whole seance under the
strictest test conditions.
I have seen faces materialize as clear
ly as I have seen them in life, the blue
eyes, the wrinkles, etc., Just the same,
and the people to right and left of me
saw them, too.
It is no use some ignorant, con
sible to communicate with the “dead
because he has not done so. If 12
independent people said that they had
visited some newly discovered country,
and, although all unknown to each
other, each described the same things
seen to that country, we should believe
those 12 persons.
We should pay no attention to the
man who said It was not so because he
I had never been there. We should Just
I think what a fool the man was to dare
to talk o' something he knew nothing
whatever about. So it is with the man
who talks of spiritualism in that way,
never having spent six months to
reading or to investigating the subject.
To communicate with those living in
the higher vibrations of life is very
like tuning ir to the wireless. There
to Daventry (the broadcasting station),
for example—that is those on the other
side of the veil—strong and longing to
get through to us: there to the aerial
(knowledge through reading and in
vestigation) : there is the receiving in
strument (the medium at this end).
How can Daventry tune in if one of the
vital wires is down (the sitter knowing
nothing) and the instrument blocked
(by stupid incredulity)?
“Seek, and Ye Shall Find.”
Clear the line and open 1 le door of
reason and a most wonderful knowledge
will be yours. “Seek, and ye shall
find.” Those \:ords I have proved to
be very, very true.
How often I have heard on the
“other side” people say: "Why were
we not told these things by the church
when we were on the earth plane? They
told us nothing, and when we come over
here we are all befogged for some time,
because everything is so different from
what we expected. It would have made
such a difference to my life on earth
had I known: I could have borne it so
much more easily had I known what a
wonderful world lay ahead of me. such
a full human and happy existence.”
Far, far more important than the

physical materializations are the com
munications we receive from those on the
other side. It to such happiness to us
and to our dear ones beyond the veil to
get in touch again, and all that they
tell us Is so inspiring, so helpful.
It makes life seem so different, so
much more worth while, when told of
that wonderfully happy and human ex
istence, to know clearly and definitely
of the conditions of the future life
ahead of one; to know that all you
have to you that so often to this life,
owing to circumstances, to never able to

for its development: to know that there
will be for you the realization of a
greater personality, the fulfilment of

the week end with me recently. She
had never met my husband. We had a
seance In the evening and he com
municated with me, and through her
(she being to deep trance) he talked
of something unknown to any one. He
also repeated to me what he had said
to me at our own private family seance
the night before, which we, of course,
had not mentioned to her or to any
one else.
Received Two Calls.
Since my beloved husband passed over
to the higher realm of life, he told me
one evening in our little family seance
of something which would come through
to me from Fleet street the next day.
The following morning I was rung up
by that very paper twice within an
hour. Trivial? Yes, just as something
on the wireless may be. But proving
that there to a psychic Daventry there,
able to tune to to us.
A year or two ago my husband and I,
having a seance alone at home at 11:30
at night, were told of something Im
portant which had happened that day
In Europe. (We had no wireless In
the house.) The next morning there
were big headlines In the paper about
the event. Trivial? Yes. But showing
a third unseen person was with us who
knew more than we did.
The night before the last great
Japanese earthquake we were told of
it in our own home seance, no outside
medium being present.
To show how closely our dear ones
keep in touch with our daily lives: A
friend of ours went to a seance and
had a long talk with his son. Before
leaving the son said: “Daddy, please
thank mother and Edith for the red
and white roses.” The father replied,
“I don’t know what you mean, my
boy.” "Never mind, daddy, ”* he said,
“do please give them the message.”
When the father got home, his wife
and daughter were out. They returned
soon afterward and said that they
had been to the cemetery to take some
flowers to the son’s grave. The father
asked what flowers they had taken
and they replied "red and white roses.”
Spiritualism Is Science.
Os course it Is essential for investi
gators In spiritualism, which to really
a science, to be as alert and watchful
as they would be in receiving com
munications from those on earth. But
always, always, be guided by clear
sighted reason, and when proofs come
to you—after reading and investigat
ing—go ahead as you would in any
other science and build on your results.
You will find that the knowledge
gained and the comfort and Joy which
will emanate from that knowledge will
help you through all the hard and
difficult bits on life’s roadway, and
that when you are called to go through
the dark valley of the shadow of death
your tears will be dried, your heart be
soothed, because of that lovely light
creating a bridge between you and that
dearly beloved one who has Just gor
a step ahead. •#
I write of what I know, because l
have Just come through that dark valley
myself and am in touch once more
with my beloved husband, through that
God-given knowledge—spiritualism.

paign expenditures, the stand taken by
the Colorado Anti-Saloon League and
the Democracy of a Democrat will be
at I?sue tomorrow in the Colorado bien
nial primary elections.
Campaigns flavored with personal at
tacks, both among Republicans and
Democrats, were expected to draw a
record vote to the polls, while a pro
jected Senate Investigation of expendi
tures by two Republican and three
Democratic candidates for the United
States Senate eclipsed minor contests
and issues.
The struggle within Republican ranks
for the Senatorial nomination holds
prime interest. George H. Shaw, for
mer state chairman, is backed by U. S.
Senator Charles A. Waterman. Clarence
C. Hamlin, national committeeman, and
John R. Coen, state chairman. Shaw
is opposed by William V. Hodges, for
mer treasurer of the Republican Na
tional Committee, who to supported by
Colorado's retiring Senator, Lawrence
C. Phipps.
Lacking to color but not to vigor have
been the efforts of the Democratic trio
of Senatorial aspirants. Edward P.
1 Cos tig an, former member of the Federal
Tariff Commission, whose appointment
to that post by Woodrow Wilson, as a
Republican, has brought from speakers
for Morrison Shafroth, Democratic can
didate, challenges of Costlgan’s Democ
racy.
James A. Marsh, one time Denver
city attorney, to the third Democrat in
the race.
Shaw to the only one of the five not
indorsed by the State Anti-Saloon
League. Hodges described as “ridicu
lous” charges by newspapers he has
"bought” the support of the League
through purchase of oil stock to an as
serted wildcat headed by the Rev. A. J.
Finch, superintendent of the Anti-
Saloon League. Finch also has denied
allegations of the State press.
Charges of excessive expenditures
have been exchanged freely among the
candidates, with Marsh the only one
not attacked on that score by op
ponents. The Senate committee took
some of the thunder from this angle of
the campaign with an announcement
it would not hold a hearing here until
after the primaries.

MOB LYNCHES MAN
JAILED IN MURDER
Crashes Through Guard to
Get Man Accused of
KHling Officer.
Bt the Associated Press.
DARIEN, Qa., September B.—ln the
face of machine guns mounted to the
streets, an armed band of men forced
ita way Into the Mclntosh County Jail
today and lynched George Grant, 40-
year-old colored man, accused of killing
one officer and wounding three other
persons to an early morning gun battle.
The men disregarded the pleas of Col.
Roy Neal, commadlng the Savannah
unit of the National Guard, and, hold
ing county officers outside the jail at
bay with shotguns, crashed Into the
building.
Shot to Death to Cell.
Grant was shot to death to his cell
while Col. Neal pleaded with the men
to “let this Negro live until we catch the
other one.”
The other colored man who took part
in the gun battle was surrounded in a
nearby marshland by several hundred
men and his capture was expected
momentarily.
Early this morning R. Anderson, a
Darien policeman, was wounded as he
sought to arrest two colored men who
aroused his suspicions as they ap
proached a bank. A posse trailed them
into the swamp near the city and
Robert Freeman, chief of Glynn County
Police, was killed and the others were
wounded as the fugitives opened lire
on their pursuers.
Soon after 9 o’clock. Grant was cap
tured. Col. Neal and his forces hurried
him to the county jail through a pro
testing group of armed men.
A few minutes after he had been
placed to the cell an erroneous report
was received from a Brunswick hos
pital that Deputy Bherlff Collins had
died of his wounds.
Crowd Crashes Structure.
The angered mob, brandishing shot
guns, began an Immediate march
toward the Jail, crashed Into the struc
ture, and shot Grant to death.
Grant protested to the men he was
not the slayer of Freeman, but Officer
Anderson said he was the man who
fired the shots. Anderson, wounded in
the hand, shoulder and thigh, returned
to Darien from the Brunswick Hos
pital and identified Grant as the actual
Iciller.
Soon after the jail shooting officers
and men of the 118th Field Artillery,
Georgia National Guard, were dis
patched to Darien and threw up a
military guard about the streets and
the jail.
The body of Grant was turned over
to Coroner W. A. Crumley, who said an
Inquest would be held later.
Bheriff Foppell of Mclntosh County,
who captured Grant, said that while
taking the captured man to jail tHe
latter denied the killing and blamed
his companion, whom he named as Fred

ENFORCED JOBLESS
INSURANCE IS HIT
Green Sees Step Toward
Dole in Plan Used by
Gov. Roosevelt.
' By the Associated Press.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., September
[ B.—William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, said in
; a statement today “it is only one step
i from compulsory unemployment insur
ance to the dole.”
Green’s statement foreshadowed the
official report to be made by the Ex
ecutive Council to the annual conven
tion of the American Federation of
Labor in Boston on October 6.
"Real Remedy Is Employment.”
"The best, the real, remedy for un
employment is employment,” he said.
"The obligation rests upon industry to
provide employment for men and wom
en willing to work. The dole system
embodies a vicious principle, in that it
attempts to provide relief by supplying
only the minimum of subsistence.
“Besides, the dole system develops a
paternalism that is demoralizing and
destructive. It stifles ambition, de
stroys initiative and blasts hope.
Organized labor’s program, according
to Green, is establishment of voluntary
joint unemployment insurance funds in
seasonal industries, division of work
instead of wholesale discharge, shorter
work day and work week and a guaran
teed yearly wage.
Convention Battle Expected.
A battle on unemployment insurance
may bo the outstanding feature of the
Boston convention, for the New York
State Federation of Labor at its Buffalo
convention last week adopted a resolu
tion favoring compulsory unemploy
ment Insurance. The action was taken
the day after Oov. Roosevelt in an
address to the delegates committed him
self to that program.
GERMAN COOKS POPULAR
Comfortable Rhineland Method of

NEW YORK (N.A.N.A.)—No one can
realize how many Germans there are in
New York now until he passes some
time on the North German Llyod pier
in Brooklyn when the Europa and
Bremen, fastest of liners, are landing
or departing. It sounds like a huge
Rhineland picnic, with many large fam
ilies crying in unison their greetings or
farewells.
Also, there is a decided vogue In Ger
man cooking and the comfortable way
of dining that the Germans have, but
without the beer of old. Waiters wear
fancy Bavarian pants and hats with
feathers in them and the music is Tyr
olean.
