Sounds Emanating from
Lonely Cleveland Structure
ONCE AGAIN THE WAILING OF
A GHOSTLY VOICE

ny, breath-taking moaning.* break the
night.
Once again the wailing of a
ghostly voice is heard.
Now the lap, lap, lap of water
beating incessantly on a rocky
shore ....
Louder and louder grow the
wraithly moans, and faster and fast
er beats the water ....
Each night, persons who have
tried to live in the house avow and
aver, these sounds reverberate thru
a lonely structure on the lake shore
of Cleveland, just a few minutes
walk from the busy downtown dis
trict.
Once the houses was a grand man
sion. Now it is idle, and its shut
ters beat ominously against the
windows, rattling the panes. Little
boys avoid it in the daytime, and
shrink by it in terror at night. The
neighborhood calls it haunted. Anr
tenants no longer are willing to live
in it. So the owner is going to turn

it into a factory.
Stories of the incantations are de
clared true to a degree by a citizen’s
committee that investigated the
place. Members of the committee
aver that on a nocturnal visit to the
mansion they heard the sounds that
have forced scores of tenants to
leave chilled with fear.
One of the members of the com
mittee declares that simultaneously
with the sound of a bell tolling mid
night from a nearby tower, there
came to his ears the death shriek of
a young woman.
Many years ago a member of a
family still prominent in Cleveland
killed his wife in the house when
he found her alone with another
man.
Some years later, when it was a
rooming house, a sailor, known only
as “Red,” was killed in it.
This, the superstitious declare ac
counts for the moans, the shrieks
and the lapping of waters.
Sceptics call the tales nonsense,
and aver that the sounds are largely
imarinery. They are, they say, rat
tling windows, flapping curtains.
The house was built about sixty
years ago by one P. H. Smith, a
wealthy man, engaged in lake ship
ping. It contains twenty-one rooms.
In its time it wras a wonder, and all
Cleveland came to look at it when
it was completed. Other Cleveland
homes had twenty-one rooms, but
only this one had a lighthouse! Up
on the «goof the old lakeman had
built a*cupola containing six win
dows. There he maintained several
oil lamps. On dark and stormy
nights those beasons were blessed by
many a captain piloting his ship into
the hitherto unlighted harbor.
For many months the old man
tended his light, then he died. Hard
times fell upon the old house. Ten
ants came and went in quick suc
cession until it finally was deserted
altogether.
Taxes Reveal Athletic
Growth on West Coast
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21. (/P)—Rex
Goodcell, collector of internal reve
nue, recently announced figures that
show noteworthy progress during the
last five years in the development of
athletic activities in Southern Calif
ornia.
The compilations revealed that
there are 69 country and golf clubs
in operation in the district, tax col
lections from which amounted to
$545,887 during the fiscal year of
1924-1925, as compared with $170,
183 in 1920, an increase of $575,704,
or 220 per cent. A 27 per cent
gain over the fiscal year of 1924
was shown.
Other amusements likewise increas
ed in poularity. Indoor sports such
as afforded by billiard and blowing
halls and shooting gallaries showed
gains ranging from 23 to 46 per cent
in 1925 over 1924. Riding acade
mies increased 24 per cent and col
lections of tax on yachts and other
pleasure craft advanced 107 per
cent.

the result
complete vaporization
It isn’t gasoline that explodes in
the cylinder and makes power.
It’s gas—air, mixed in the carbure
tor with gasoline to form vapor.
Red Crown gasoline vaporizes
completely. It forms a homoge
neous mixture with 12 to 16 times
its volume of air. That mixture
explodes cleanly and powerfully,
leaving comparatively little car
bon residue on valves, spark plugs
and cylinder walls.
That’s why you get better mile
age out of “Red Crown’'—and a
cleaner, sweeter-running engine.
