RADIO TO BROADCAST
OTHER WORLD VOICES,
SPIRITUALISTS THINK
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Feb. 26.—Announcement
that spirit voices from tile other
world soon would be broadcast by
radio was made at a recent meeting
of the London Spiritualist Alliance,
limited, members of which had as
sembled to discuss the question, “Is
Lord Northcliffe dead?” Sir Edward
Marshall Hall, K. C., a noted barris
ter, presided.
News that efforts were being made
to hold seances by means of the
wireless was made known to the
members by Miss Louise Owen, pri
vate secretary to the late Lord North
cliffe, who reported that “before
long we are going to be able to
broadcast the spirit of voices by ra
dio.” Previous to this announce
ment Miss Owen said she had a re
cent message from Lord Northsliffe
for the women attending the meet
ing and this was that the women
everywhere should organize for the
purpose of bringing about abolition
of war and “let it be known that
they would not bring boys into the
would for the purpose of being mas
sacred.’
Sir A. Conan Doyle, the Rev. G.
Vale Owen and numerous others
told of their experiences at vari
ous seances when they had commu
nicated with the former well known
newspaper publisher. Rev. Owen as
serted that four days after Lord
Northcliffe’s death he had been in

touch with him, and that five days
later a message came saying, “I want
to thank you for your prayers for
me. They helped me so much.”
The principal speaker of the even
ing was Hannen Swaffer, one of the
best known spiritualists in London
and formerly in Lord Northcliffe’s
employ, who recited his experiences,
saying that but recently he had been
in communication with his former
employer for two hours.
In one message Mr. Swaffer quot-'
ed Lord Northcliffe as saying: “In-1
stead of holding up Bolshevism, ■
tickle ’em.” A later message, accord-!
ing to Mr. Swaffer, said: “Too many
advertisements, and leaders too
long,” this, it was taken, to having
had reference 10 some of the former
Northcliffe publications.
“I hear that Northcliffe has been
reaching other circles, and that he
is now a slightly different North
cliffe,” Mr. Swaffer averred. “He
can mok down on suffo ir.g. He
champions the endeavors of the
League of Nations. He says that
we cannot stamp out Socialism; it is
too old and too strong. Northcliffe
j said, “I made a mistake about Lloyd
i George which I regret. I let him
j down too suddenly.’ ”
Further, Mr. Swaffer quoted the
late publisher as saying; “‘I am out
to stop war before anything. I intend
to stop it. I intend to bring about
equality for all men, and when ev
' ery man and every woman is a spir
itualist we shall not have to view
! the struggle between capital and la
bor’.”
A letter from Earl Haig, read to
I the alliance members, follows: “I
I am sorry I am unable to attend the
| meeting. I had a very sincere re
gard for Lord Northcliffe and I hope
that your efforts to convince the
world of the survival of his person
ality after death will meet with suc
cess.”
Another meeting to discuss Lord
Northcliffe is to be held in the near
future.

| Dwarfs Wedding Brings
! Mob and Ties Up Traffic
I -
(Ry Associated Press)
WEYMOUTH, Eng., Feb. 25.—
There was such a mob oi' uninvited
guests at the recent wedding here of
Miss Eliza Victoria Walbridge and
Alfred Goodwin, dwarfs, and such a
buzz of whispers among the throng
that the noise became extremely em
barrassing to the clergyman perform
ing the ceremony. He had to call
for silence five times and threaten
ed to order everyone from the edi
fice excepting those of the bridal par
ty.
Miss Walbridge is but three feet
two inches in height while the bride
groom stood but three feet seven
inches in his wedding slippers. The
heads of the couple did not come up
to the altar rails in Holy Trinity
Church and nearly every one of the
j spectators stood on the seats with
I the hopes of getting a glimpse of the
little man and his bride.
Hundreds fought their way toward
the altar, while the crowd outside
held up traffic for an hour or so and
extra police had to be called to reme
dy the situation. The bride wore
white satin and the bridegrom w*as
dressed in a frock coat and carried
a top hat. They were followed by a
page and two bridesmaids, none of
whom were dwarfs.
Mule-Disease Plays Havoc
with Livestock In Sweden
<By Associated Press')
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 26.—Nearly the
whole of Sweden has been swept by
an epidemic of mule-disease and in
an effort to stamp it out thousands
of animals have been killed. The
first cases of the disease were not
iced in Scani in the south, and im
mediately every precaution was tak
en to prevent its spread.
Farms affected were isolated, mili
tary forces were mobilized and form
ed a ring around the farms. All birds
in the vicinity were shot and the
grim method of slaughtering all the
livestock—cattle, swine, poultry, etc.
—was exercised. This proved of no
: avail and the disease then spread
! 10 the north of the ‘country, where
the best bred herds suffered greatly.
During November and December the
government has paid out over two
million crowns as compensation.
