Physician in the Bronx Gives Extraordinary Demonstration to Show That Forces of Na- “ture Only Were Employed in _ Wonders of Biblical Days. Priests of the Roman Catholic Church ahd clergymen of several Protestant denominations declare to-day that the demonstrations made by Dr, Albert ¢, Geyser, of No, %2 Willis avenue, the Bronx, last night with the X ray oluc!- dated in a marvellous manner many of the miracles of the Bible. For some time Dr. Geyser, who ta a member of the Dutch Reformed Church, has been treating the Rev. Father Ruppert, of Oklahoma, by means of the X ray. Father Ruppert marvelled at this wonderful invention and discussed it with his fellow-mem- bers of the priesthood, with the result that ‘Dr. Geyser was asked to make a demonstration before the members of the Holy Name Soclety of St. Anselm's Church.. Dr. Geyser said he felt he would be able to demonstrate that the mfracles: were in no way inconsistent with science. Dr. Geyser also invited many friends of his own church and when he began his experiments Iaft night~ho- had~an audience of nearly fifty devout church- men of different denominations. Though |the majority of those in the audience © followed closely the advances of nce and knew of the powers of the X ray, they felt at first that the denom- strations Dr, Geyser had planned were not meant for the purpose of strengthen- ing their faith in the literal truth of the Bible. ‘After Dr. Geyper had assembled his audience he produced a twelve-plate static electtlg battery and a table, with which {t was connected. This battery furnishes the electric energy with which the X ray and the Crookes tubes are operated. After sitting up his apparatus | the physician sald: Revelations of Sctence. “For centuries those who thought deeply on the matter have been puz- zed with grave doubts as to the pos- aibillty of God being all-seeing and all-hearing. What did’ the telephone re- veal fifty years ago? Did it not show that there were forces in nature that | would allow mere men to hear s:enJer vo at great distance And now thanks to the great Roentgen Invention jof only nite years ago we are able to see through a four-foot wall simply by means of this puny apparatus.’ Then Dr. Geyser set the great glass wheels of his battery in action and al- lowed his audience to look through picges of thick timber and other opaque jodies. He continued these experiments, reading sages from the scripture re- ferring to the miracies. He showed how simple {t was to produce a halo of electric fire about tis head, though he remained at a distance of ten feet from @ raised platform set on glass pegs. lass prevented elec- trical contact with the earth. and as he raised the two negative and positive poles to a height of his head the elec- tricity passed through and out of the crown of his head in a circle of flame. Then Dr, Geyser porn elled his machine by various mdaipulations to shoot Jagged flashes. How Lightning Is Produced. Then Dr. Geyser _calied attention to the passage in the Bible referring to the escent of the Holy Ghost in a pillar of fire, He said “If some one Will orly volunteer I wil show that the enveloping of a person in & pillar of flame is not a miracle.” homas MacKaye came forward and offered to serve for the experiment.

Inspector McClusky Declares He Knows Where the Dynamite for Rossio’s Infernal Machine Was Purchased in This City and Docs Not Believe It Was an Anarchist Plot, ig 0 DREADS THOUGHT THAT THE FIEND) ~~ MAY BE AT WORK ON NEW BOMB, Chicago Detectives Claim that the Suspect Was the Notorious Jean Rossow, Who Made the Deadly Contrivance that Killed So Many Policemen in the Haymarket Riot, "at Fear that Rossio, the infernal machine maker, inspired by the tremendous excitement his attempt on the Umbria cauccd may be efe gaged in building another machine, has spurred the police authorities of all the targe cities in the United States to unusual activity. The impression that he is a deadly crank has reached Inspector McClusk; and the other officials and his escape has been so puzzling that they fear further activity on his part before they can catch up with him. : Steamships which left this port for Europe last Saturday are almost due at their destinations, and all of them will be searched before the pass engers land, on the chance that Rossio may have sailed after writing an exposure of his plot to the police. There is even a chance that he on the Umbria in the steerage, going aboard just before the vessel } Insp ector MeCluskyy. on his.return from Chicago to-day, dropped. all other business to superintende the pursuit of Rossio. He is con that the man will be captured, because the widespread publicity given to the case will not alfow him to remain undiscovered for a great length of time. The Inspector is not of the belief that Rossio was backed by a group of Anarchists, but said: that he thought there were other important interests engaged in the plot. WAS HE THE INFAMOUS JEAN ROSSOW? ‘The Chicago police think thac Roasto is Jean Rossow, the man who made the bomb that killed the policemen in the Haymarket riot seventeam years aro. : i “[ wired Detective-Sergennt Funston, of New York, who was in cago on other business than that of the dynamite box,” said the Inspector, that I was going to Chicago las Wednesday. I took Detective-Sergeamt Carey with me and left him there, and now he and Funston are covering all the Western ends of the mystery. \ “Although I must admit that my investigation in Chicago did not bring anything new to light that is of very great importance, I am disappointed with my trip. We have established one fact,~however. that Is that there was only one man concerned in the whole affair, and was not, in my opinion, a member of any band or secret eociety. “lhe reason I went to Chicago was that I had a lot of stuff in connes- tion with the case that would not have been safe to send by wire. So I took it myself personally and talked the situation over with the detectives and police in Chicago. I found when I arrived there that a morning paper ha@ printed Rossio's name and his address in Chicago, I was sorry to sée this for the publication of every new fact only hinders us in our investigations, I did not expect to find Rossio in Chicago, but I expected to get more evi- dence than I did. There are yet many ends to be\povered in the case which may lead to good results. “Rossio was not a New York man. Of that I am sure. He was more often in Chicago than New York, and if I were asked to give his address I should say it had been in Chicago.

Rossio was not at any time connected with the line, and I place little credence in the report that he might have sailed on the Umbria. HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON THE PIER. - “If placing infernal machines on ‘a dock or in a ship was & mania with the man, he might have been on the plier at the time when the box was found, We have a good description of the man, and it has been tele graphed to every town and city inthe Untted States and Canada. If we had a photograph of him, however, we could work. more swiftly. “Something that greatly hampers us in our investigations is that we have been unable to find any correspondence of the man's that we can compare with the letter sent to the Commissioner. In his room im Chicago we found several pieces of wood that corresponded to the woot that the box found here was made of. Although I must, admit that we are now.a long way from solving the mystery, I have great hopes that something tangible will be brought to light very soon.” “Oh, say,” called the Inspector after the reporters as they weré I ing at the end of the interview, “I just want to say that there is no dite faction in this bureau.” pen was asked to explain more definitely what he mgrst | his remark, but he would not say any more. ‘Alt the other clergymen an pers of the different denominatione pz beta jast night's demonstration volced 0 aiies opinion.
