THE CLAIRVOYANT MESS
Attorney Charles E. Erbstein today
demanded that James Ryan, alias
Professor Crane, the clairvoyant on
whom the clairvoyant trust stories
are built, be released on "bail.
"The police are trying to force a
confession from Ryan," said Erb
stein. "They have no legal right to
hold him. "We are ready to obtain
$50,000 or $100,000 bail for him.
"I shall go before Judge Kersten
and demand the release of Ryan on
whatever ball the court sees fit to
set"
State's Attorney Hoyne today said
he would fight the release of Ryan.
A rumor spread this afternoon
that Hoyne had ordered the arrest
of two married women, a police ser
geant and "two other men in connec
tion with the clairvoyant hunt and
the mysterious Hotel Wellington
blackmailing case.
This last is being carefully covered
up. Two detectives from Hoyne's of
fice last night arrested a man In the
Hotel Wellington bar, pulled him into
a taxicab and rushed him to some
outlying police station, probably
Hyde Park, where he now is being
held.
It is said that the man tried to
blackmail John Reeves, manager of
the Wellington Hotel bar, by expos
ing him as a bigamist, and that he
was caught with a $100 marked bill
in his possession.
Hoyne today admitted that he had
no confessions in the clairvoyant
case, but declared that evidence in
his possession showed the clairvoy
ants to have been organized, and to
be connected with clairvoyants in
other cities, notably St Louis.

OBEYED INSTRUCTIONS
A nobleman who loved society was
in the habit of frequently inviting a
few friends to dinner. He was ngt
rich, however, and only kept a few
servants to wait at table. One day,
as. he sat at the table with a guest,
a new servant entered with a covered
dish.
"What have you got there, John?"
asked the nobleman.
"A roasted fowl, my lord."
The nobleman said nothing till aft
er the "departure of his friend, when
he called his servant before him.
"John," said he, "you would have
done the house more honor if you
had said 'roasted fowls.' Remember
that hereafter."
"Yes, my lord."
A fortnight afterwards the noble
man invited several more friends to
dinner. Upon the servant entering
with an assistant, each carrying a
dish, the master said:
"What have you got there, John?"
The man had not forgotten the
correction he had undergone, and re
plied: "Roasted oxen and calves, my
lord."
The company burst into a fit of
laughter, in which the host most
heartily joined.
