HoudinVs Strong Box of
Thick Oak Fails to Aid
Psychic Phenomena Test
' (Associated Press.)
B08TOX Aug. 28. The latest
series of testa to determine whether
Mrs. Le Rol G. Crsndon wife of a
Erominent surgeon of this city who
as been known as "Margery" to the
world of psychic students' could in-
duce phenomena that would warrant
sward to her of the Scientific Amer-
ican's prizes for such genuine feats
ended Wednesday night with results
ssid to be both positive and negative.
In a big black box. fashioned out of
inch thick oak in the manner of an
old-time pillory the medium was said
to have failed to Invoke proof. In
another box somewhat similar but
with more freedom results were posi-
tive bells being rung and messages
transmitted it was said.
The tents still. Incomplete hnve re-
solved into a trial of the two types
of boxes. The oak box is the prop-
erty of Harry Houdinl the magician
who is a member of the committee.
It is understood however. Hint the
committee hss not accepted this box
as an official test because the com-
mittee as a whole has not hnd an op
portunity to examine it. The second
box is the committee'! cabinet in-
vented for such teats with the medium
under padlocked restriction the bells
confined beyond ordlairy reach snd
safeguards Inserted to prevent fraud.
The tests were understood to hnve
developed an uninterrupted series of
positive manifestations. Including the
appearance of lights whistling chairs
moving across the floor and h pigeon
whirring through a room in which
doors snd windows were locked until
Houdinl brought hj box.
Members of the committee failed to
agree that the new box would de-
velop a conclusive test and Mrs.
Crandon said Thursday that a state-
ment was signed by all participants in
the recent sitting- that "there is no
sssurance that ectoplasm can be made
to work through oak an inch thick."
She would not comment on the matter
further beyond denial of a published
report that the tests were ended say-
ing that the teets were continuing
nnd that she was confident she had
already proved the genuineness of the
phenomena for which she is the medium.

FORT WORTH Texas Aug. 28.
After having been drilled fire feet
into the sandy lime pay the Texon
Iand and Oil company's l uiversity

field in lteagsn county incrensed its
flow from about 60 to IMisi barrels
of pipe line oil daily. Thin in the
first well to date to regiHter Inrge
production in what is known as the
upper pay and it is thought likely
that it will again incresse its output
when the lower pay the most prolific
in the field is reached.
The Texon Oil and Land company's
University No. 1 started flowing Au-
gust 3 'after having been drilled two
feet into licne at a total depth of
3024 feet and extended the producing
area of the field about ocn and one-
half miles to the southeast nnd east.
It is located 150 feet south und 400

age tanks wiille awaiting shipment
out of the field in tank enrs.
The Big Lake Oil company's Uni-
versity No. 11. which was completed
the last day of July for an initial
production of 142 barrel" of clean oil
tier hour declined from mift to 1000
barrels daily' during the pnst week
as a result of putting nho.it 1300
pounds of back pressure on the flow
line leading to the tank farm. Efforts
sre being made to cut down the flow
of the big wells due to the lack of
proper storage facilities. As yet.
no pipe lire outlet has been secured
although the Texon Land and Oil
company has been negotiating for
some time with a number of major
companies.
