WE BUY éAMFLE MILLINERY, THE PASNIK CO., Sell For Less LOOK AT PASNIK'S — LECTURE ON SPIRITISM CROWDS DAVIS THEATER Under the of White Cross auspices couneil. No. 13, Knights of Columbus, Rev. Charles M. Heredia, , of Holy Cross college, lectured Sunday afternoon at 2.30 at the Davis theater upon “Spir- 1t speaking to an audienca that fill- ed the theater to the doors, while several hundred people who could not get in had to be turned away. The lecture was free for the general publie. Father Heredia declared that he be- Yeved in sp but not in spooks and he went on to an entertaining discussion of the subject of mediums, oulja and the phenomena associated . with these dem- onstrations. Follewing his lecture he gave a demonstration of such phenomena which he assured his apdience were all performed without the aid of spirits. Preceding the lecture that was a fine cert programme by an onchestra of thirteen pieces directed by Herb Smith, rendering a number of classical selec- well as music of the present day. Ex-Mayor J. 3. Desmond. also a Holy Cross man. introduced the lecturer, who spoke of the desire that has been found among all peoples and at all times to what is bevond the grave. There no reason to belleve that God may low the departed soul to appear, ut there must be a real reason for its ppearance. He said he believed in spon- taneous phenomena, but not in provoked phenomena. and he does not helieve there a natural power to recall the dead. Real mediums can provoke a phenomena but no medium can control a phenomena. He classed the mediums of today with the witches of 17th century, when people believed that the devil was in the light- ning. but Franklin's discovédry put the witches out of commission. He called attention to the fact that a real medium who can levitate or move a table can- not do the same with a tin can. There seems to be an unconscious force, that won't work on metal. If ouffa is wet, it as know will not move. It seems there is some natural force behind it that we do mot understand vet.

The ouija habit s intentional craziness for a time, Ev- erybody that does it loses his own con- trol, becomes an easy prey to tempta- tion. Don't do it, says the church. For the Catholic that is enough. Promising to fool his audience in spite the closest watch they could keep on him and telling them that from this point on they were not to believe 2 word he wh iead caid, he said he would proceed to give the a demonstration of psychic phe- nomena for the rest of the afternoon. This, he said, was accomplished through the astral body and the communicating medium. Raps were heard on a chair ed a darkened cabinet at the rear the stage when he asked if Raymond Lodge was present. The chair was also seen to sway back and forth when he asked the orchestra to play some shimmy music. Six men were called from the audlence to the stage to place thelr hands on a table with him, while the or- hestra played Nearer, My God. to Thee, and the ta rose from the floor and moved across the stage. Three people seated around the table when Father Heredia found thelr hats suddeply shift- ed from head to head in the moment of complete darkness that he called for. One woman's hat flew out into the au- dience and was found in the seat that she had left. Automatic writing was another phase taken up by Father Heredia, who was seated at a table, where he wrote the mes of over a score of people in the piidience and told messages about them which they acknowledged were true. He lighted a cigar, which he placed against his eyes. a man's bald head, and mmong a fur neckplece and the feathers on a hat without burning them, claiming this immunity was due to the trance con- dition While blindfolded he read spots on cards by touching them with his elbow #s they lay on the table where they had been aced by men from the audience who picked them from the pack.

A. officers at Bis own request. The announcement of the $10,000 gift was made by James C. Macpherson, president of the Y. M. C. A. at the association’s anniversary service in the. Central Baptist church Sunday evening. The principal speaker at the service was John Brown, M. D., of New York city, head of the physical depart- ment of the International Y. M. C. A. committee. There was a large attendance at the service, which was led by President Mac- pherson,. The scripture selection was read by Rev. Robert L. Roberts, Ph. D., pas- tor of Trinity Methodist Bpiscopal church, President Macpherson made a brief aGdress of welcome, after which he gave a brief sketch of the association’s activities during the year. He sald it Was customary to present an annual res port at the anniversary service, but inasmich as the annual meeting has not been held yet, the report will be made later. The speaker said that this is about the 3§th year that the association has been active in our midst. It has passea through one of its most active years, and has just closed another year without a deficit, as has been the case for 18 years. He said the associaiion is grateful to the newspapers for their assistance and spoke of the Y. M. C. A auxiliary as a vital factor in the association’s work. The speaker also expressed the associations their assistance, especially in regard to the shop meetings. The association is a recognized factor for uplift work in this community, sa: President Macpherson. I believe it is meriting more and more the support of the public, he continued.

A larg§ building will increase our responsibilities and our expenses. It will be necessary for the “YJ to have additional funds to properiy conduct- its work. General Secretary Edwin Hill followsd Mr. Macpherson. Mr. Hill said the Y. M. C. A. was gratified that it is able to ren- der a service but that it is not satisfied with the service rendered. He spoke of the new building and of the larger ser- vice which the association hopes to ren- der. Mr! Hill's talk dealt largely with the financial side of the assotiation. He said larger contributions are needed and haped the response ‘will be generous. A Man's Fight for His Life was the topic on which Dr. Brown spoke. Dr. Rrown ovened his address by telling of an incident which oocurred while he was visiting the Y. M. C. A. in Toronto some time ago while waiting for a train. 'The general secretary -of the Y. M. C. A. came forward to gyeet him. The secre- tary urged him to visit his office and hear the pitiable story of a young man with whom the secretary had been closet- ed for an hour. Alhough his time was limited, he consented to give five min- utes. He found in the office a young man 28 years of age, only son of wealthy par- ents, a graduate of Toronto university, a world traveler, a man who had studied art and music, 2 man who had never done a hard day’s work, and who was welcome in social circles far and near. There is not a boy or man I would not gladly change places with, the young man sald to me, said Dr. Brown. During his coliege days he had contracted an evil pragtice and he became addicted to a second and worse vice. This young man said to me: Remember that what- ever your counsel may be. you cant count on me. He “had undermined his health. His chest was shrunken, he hed no energy, no vitality, and he lacked character. Unless the boys of today have a chance to play in proper environment they are going to do something else said Dr. Brown. Every boy and girl $nould have the opportunity to give vent to the en- ergy that is within. The “Y” is trying tc study the meeds of growing boys and to give them that physical basis necessary for his character. I congratulate this community on its Dprospect of getting a splendid new physi- cal equipment and a swimming pool. Some may ask what is the real purpose of the “Y.” The “Y” is trying to always give the boy and young man a concep- tion that all things have a certain place In the world but that Jesus must be the central figure. The future of Norwich is safe today, but it can only be made safe for tomorrow if the right people of today take hold of the youth of today. The “Y" wants to be the church at work for the young men and boys of this com- munity, of every community, and of the world. The service was brought to a close about 9 o'clock With a hymn and the benediction.

Secretary Healey submitted to the attorney general a coPy of the form, which was labeled “Report on Tobacco,” for his consideration. The attorney gen- eral ;advises Secretary Healey that the ‘state board of agriculture cannot lawfui- ly require tobacco dealers to make any reports under the provisions of the act. Attorpey General's Opinion. Attomey General Healy quotes the act in full and then says: “You state in your letter that a ques- tion has been raised as to the constitu- tionality of the law, and inquire If the state board of agriculture has authority under its provisions to demand the in- formation required by the report. The purpose sought to be accomplished by this legislation is perfectly apparent, not only from the ‘title’ to the chapter which says it is ‘an act establishing a market- ing hureau,’ but also from the language of the act giving the state board of agri- culture the authority to demand reports and publish bulletins dispensing informa- tion concerning marketing, prices, supply and demand for ail farm crops. The au- thority of the general assembly in enact- ing legislation Is absolute, unless its en- actment comes in conflict with some ex- press provision or necessary implication contained in the constitution. The”ques- tion presented for my consideration is: Does this Iegislatior. fall withia the broad scope of what are generaily known as ti ‘police powers’ of the state, or is this legislation a mere arbitrary and unwar- ranted restriction on trade that is pro- tected by the temms of the constitution?! The general assembiy has enacted n- merous statutes relating to the public health, safety and welare of the public, and the courts in many instances have held that these enactments came within the valid exercise of the police power.” Quotes Supreme Court. Attorney General Healy in giving rea- sons for his opinion quotes a decision of the supreme court of errors on the limi- tation of police powers exercised by the state in the case of Young against Le- mieux, 79 Connecticut, and from the de- cislon of the same court in the case of the state against Conlon, 61 Connecticut. in which the court held that “in cases of an ordinary awful busmess essential to conduct of human affairs, the legislature had no right, to restrict the issuance of licenses to engage in such business to such persons as might be found to be ‘proper persons’ because such business came within the protection of the Dbill of rights.” On thé question of property rights the attorney general quotes the decision of the court in the cases of the state against McKee, 70 Connecticut, and the state against Flengold, 77 Connecticut. He also referred to the decision of the supreme court in declaring the act, chapter 194 of the public acts of the sesgion of 1919, “concerning the licensing of dealers in dairy products,” unconsti- tutional. The case of the state against Porter, 94 Conaeclicut, is also quoted by the attorney' general. Its Ordinary Businegs. In conclusion Attorhey General Healy says: : “By the terms of the statute under consideration I am unable to find any language whiich could be construed as relating to the public health, or that makes dealers in tobacco inimical to the public interest. The sole object of this statute is the enactment of a trade regu- lation by requiring reports from tobacco dealers of their actual business opera- tions, for the purpose of publishing the reports thus received in the ‘market re- port’ issued by the state board of agri- culture. The business of buying and seli- ing tobacco is an ordinary business in which anyone has the right to engage, and undej the comstitution persons en- gaged in this business are protected from any arbitrary regulations enacted by the legislature. The principle of ‘equality of right' as set forth in the several opin- lons of our highest courts as herein quoted js absolutely decisive of the pres- ent questio WAS NEAR SUFFOCATION IN NOETH MAIN STREET FIRE Joseph Swinski, a Polish man who lives alone in the basement of the house at No. 534 North Main stree narrowly escaped suffocation by smoke in a fire which broke out in his combination bed- room and kitchen Saturday about 6 p. m. Deputy Chief H. R. Taft; Squad A from the Central station and the Main street chemical responded to a telephone call at 6.04¢ p. m., and the fire was extinguished by chemical. When the firemen arrived and entered the house they found Swin- ski's room filled with smoke. Swinski Wwas on the bed and was evidently asleep when the firemen arrived, as he gave no indication of his presence in the smoke- filled room, and the firemen couldn't see him. He finaiiy came to and sat up in the bed, but not until after he got in the way of the chemical stream. Slight dam- age resulted from the fire, which it is thought started from an oil heater which set the bed on fire, The house is owned by Stanley Tom- czyk. — SIR PATRICK MANSON DIED IN LONDON SATURDAY London, April 10—The death of Sir Patrick Manson, in London on Saturday, is anounced by The London Times this morning.
