’44.. SPIRIT BRIDE FAILS HIM, MAN, 71, SUES sSarah” Cost Him $7,500 and Then Would Not Ma- terialize, He Charges. By the Aseociated Prese. ‘WICHITA, Kans, November Failure of “Sarah,” his spirit bride, to materialize after he purchased flowers for her and furnished a trousseau, was protested by John Seybold, 71-year-old farmer, when he appeared in District Court here seeking recovery of $7,500 from a spiritualist medium. Seybold charged Mrs. Nellie Moore | defrauded him out of that sum at a series of seances. Ile testified she was assisted by several ghostly advis- ers. He told the court how he married “Sarah” at a ceremony at which “she failed to take earthly shape.” He said he often could vaguely discern his bride in the darkness of the seance room, and, on this assurance that she would materialize he hought her robes. Then he purchased materials for wed- ding dresses which Mrs. Moore was to make. Sarah then demanded $500 for way- ward girls, the farmer testified. As- sured that she would come to him for the money, he said, he drew it from the bank and when illuminated hands were extended toward him at a seaoce he placed the cash in them. Sevbold described the spirits as “v, at times. This, he th was perhaps due to the pre: several Indians from the happy hunt- ing grounds. Asked how he knew they were In- dian spirits, he said, “They called me chief.” He also claimed to have sold land to meet “Sarah’s” demands. Judge J. E.

Tho former Washington Sena- tor recited the fact that Americans are taking a leading part in the pres- ent progress of Peru, and described for his audience in the first of the Winter season series of lectures a trip he took recently across the Andes by automebile, mule and canoe. Lima, Peru's capital, he said, is directly south of Washington. The three great geographical char- acteristics that are assooiated with Peru, Ambassador Poindexter recalled, are the Humbolt current, the Andes and the Amazon. The current, he said, converts the climate of Peru from a tropical to a temperate one. The Andes, with its great triple array of Cordilleras, from which flow myriad streams to form ‘“the super-river of the world,” the Amazon, he character- ized as the “‘greatest mountain range in the world.” The waters of the | Amazon, he continued, originate in r ime as great as world. ound the Andes.

Many of the rivers are not exploited, he de- clared, but the time is coming when they will be. Terms Incas Royal Caste. The Ambassador revealed that he has given much study to the Incas and their origin. Citing that the treatise of Prescott still remains the chief authoritative work on the sub- ject, he termed the Incas a royal caste, comparatively few in number, who were white people, similar to the white Aryan conquerors of India, prob- ably from the same sougce in the hig] lands of Asia, who cam@ in their gr ung Americ TIHE EVENING FORMER EMPIRE OF INCAS CALLED LAND OF OPPORTUNITY \Young Americans Can Take Leading Part in Progress of Peru, Ambassador Poin- dexter Tells University Club. canoes, some of them with outriggers. | The fate of the In ne conuuuey, has been the same as the conquerors of India—they have been absorbed by the indigenous people, disappeared from existence as a caste, a separate peaple. A study of the archeology of Peru, the Ambassador said, tends to con- vince one that the culture of the peo- ple of America when discovered by the Europeans was a decadent one, fall- eSS MOTHER A Cross, Feverish Child is Bilious, Constipated Every mother realizes, after givin her children “California Fig Syrup, that this is their ideal laxative, be- | cause they love its pleagant taste and it thoroughly cleanses the tender little stomach, liver and bowels with- out griping. When cross, irritable, feverish or breath is bad, stomach sour, look at the tongue, mother! If coated, give a tcaspoonful of this harmless, “fruity laxative,” and in a few hours all the foul, constipated waste, sour bile and undigested food passes out of the bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. When the little system is full of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache, diarrhoea, indi- gestion, colic—remember, a good “in- side cleansing” should always be the first treatment given. Millions of mothers keep “Califor- nia Fig Syrup” handy; they know a teaspoonful today saves a sick child tomorrow.

Projecting his return trip to Peru, the Ambassador said that Americans got a thrill on passing through the Panama Canal, realizing the great engineering triumph and the quiet and effectiveness and efficiency of the operations in dispatching the ships through the locks. It seems curious, he observed, to be told to get out one's overcoat when appr ng the Equa- tor, but this, he explained, is due to the Humbolt current.

TFRIDAY. XOVEMBER Two great divisions exist in Peru, he explained—the great landowners, many of them absentees living luxuri- ous lives in Paris, and, on the other hand, the contented, more or less com- fortable and vet servile class; the two extremes, the barons of feudal tenure and the people who are attached to the land, who have no part in govern- ment and apparently do not desire any. Ambassador Poindexter paid high tribute to President Leguia of Peru, characterizing him as a thorough gen: tleman, one who speaks Enslish flu- ently, who has lifted up the lower classes of people, and who is develop- ing the country's material resources. Notwithstanding the wealth spent gates in the courts of Burope in bygone days, the Ambassa- dor observed, Peru h: great untapped resources in minerals and oil. He pointed to the growing commerce with South America, saying the United States now has 4% per cent of all the commerce with Peru. He told of the large colony of Americans in Lim recalling that the raflroad to the Andes was built by an American. Ancient Engineering Rerfect. The envoy described the grent stones that went to build the cities of the Incas, placed by the engincers so perfectly that they seem as if mol together. They will exist, long after this civilization has pass away, and only earthquake can disturb them, for they are as firm as ,|#nd spoke of the blue butterflies and the cliffs on which they are built. He pointed to the similarity of the laws in force in the Western United States to those of Peru, both coming from the Spaniards, particularly those dealing with water, community prop- erty and the status of women in the home. Describing the fauna of the country, Ambassador Poindexter told of the hunters' paradise that exists, with plenty of tigers, great pheasants, fla- mingoes, ducks. large turkeys, wild hogs and tapirs. He alluded to the game fish in the streams, asserting that he is fond of hunting and fishing, huge moths that flit in the forests. Oliver S. Metzerott, president of the University Club, presided.
