DICTED
FN DEATH
a
g New York, Nov. 20.—Houdini’s
death was predicted in spirit circles
for weeks before he died and while
Houdini still thought hia injury was
slight, Fulton Oualer, the author, re-
veals in a letter to Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle.
The magician-skeptic of spirit
uailsm was not alone aware uf the
predictions, according to the author.
A medium, Ousler said, informed him
at the time of Houdini’s Injury that
a spirit told her “Houdini’s duys as
0 magician are over."
It “Impressed Him."
In replying to a letter from Doyle
commenting on Ousler’s book “Step-
child of the Moon," the latter report-
ed as follows a telephone conversa-
tion he had with Houdinl just before
the magician opened the tour that
ended in his death:
"I am marked for death," Houdinl
said. “I don’t mean I am going to
be murdered, but that they are pre-
dicting my death in spirit circles ail
over the country.”
“You don't put any stock it It, do
you?" Qtnder inquired, aware of
many similar predictions. Houdini*
said he did not, but nevertheless "he
admitted that It had made an impres-
sion on his mind.” •
Medium Quoted Spirit.
On the day after he read of Hou-
dlni's accident in an Albany theater.
Ausler continued, he received a let-
ter from Alice A. Wood, a medium,
who was secretary to Dr. Prince, then
principal research officer of the
American Society for Psychic Re-
search.
Under date of October 18, Ousler
said, this ii what Mrs. Wood wrote to
him.
Three years ago, Dr. Hyslop
(meaning the spirit of Dr. Hyslop)
said to J. Malcolm Bird of the
Psychical Research Society:
“ 'The waters are black for Hou-
dini’, and he predicted that disaster
would befall him while performing
hefore an audience in a theater. Dr.
Syslop now says that the injury is
-■amps
more serious than has been reported
and that Houdini’s days as a magician
are over!”
Houdini wrote him a note from
Schenectady, under date of October
16, according to Ousler, saying “I
have ‘only’ an interior fracture of
the ankle.” i

Therefore many Chicagoans smile
little when they see, their city
pictured in print and f cartoon as
overrun by gangsters who prowl
about the streets with pistols and ma-
chine guns while terror stricken in-
habitants dart to cover. And occa-
sionally they have to assurrf anxious
visitors that they can get about the
streets unmolested virtually any hour
of the day or night.

Chicago has no control. After the

CHICAGO SAFE i
FOR VISITORS,
FEW CRIMES
< ......."
Chicago, Nov. 29.—Should one on
visiting Chicago supply himself whh
a suit of chain armor or an armed
body-guard?
Spectacular gang murders have re-
ceived much newspaper notice both
here and abroad and have occasioned
so much comment on the eit’s "law-
lessenss" that there probably are
thousands particularly in the smaller
towns, who imagine that no one
visiting the place would be safe un-
less equipped as for an advance on
the enemy trenches.
Live Normal As Elsewhere.
This picture, the same as any pic-
ture built upon the cumulative ef-
fect of a number of isolated ex-
amples, is false, city officials say, cit-
ing figures showing that Chicago, for
its sir.# has one of the smallest crime
records of uny city in the land.
Chicagoans, who live a life about as
normal and uneventful as the aver-
age citizen anywhere, see so little
of crime conditions that they some-
times wonder If they are pot missing
out on something.
Cmcago’s murder record, of course,
ia the one that receives the most out-
side attention. This year’s casualty
lists are not complete, but the total
for 1925 was 894 murderj, Morgan
A. Collins, chief of police, said 150
of this number were negroes slain by
negroes, ascribed to the great Influx
of negroes from thhe South, while
«0 were bootleggers slain by boot-
loggers, leaving 182 homicides to the
rest of the population.
Gangland Shoots Own Man.
The 80 deaths among the bootleg
outlaws furnished the striking fea-
ture of the murder list, but accord-

WOODS STATES REPORT BUMP-
ER TOURIST CROP
St. Paul, Nov. 29.—The annual
summer tourist crop of the northern
out-of-doors was a bumper one this
year. Eight million viistors in the
three states of Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin and Michigan, yielded a gross in
come to the three of some $400,
000,000.
The last of the harvest is now be
Ing gleaned, as the deer hunters
defy the snow and cold for their pil
grimages.
State highway departments this
year gave an official air to the tour
ist crop statistics, through road
counts. In Wisconsin the count
showed figures of a “ofreign’ inva
sion greater by nearly a million than
the population of the state.
Michigan’s summer playgrounds
drew more than three million, and
Minnesota a million and a half.
Most of the figure* show an in
crease of 25 percent over last year.
One accurate comparison is the num-
ber of non-resident fishing licenses
issued. Michigan sold 75,000 such
permits, Wisconsin 00,000 and Min-
nesota 28,000.

Washington, Nor. 27.-—The fewer
marriages ye have these modern
days, the more divorces are record-
ed.
That at least seems the obvious
deduction from the marriage and
divorce statistics Director of Census
W. M. Steuart has just finished
compiling for 1924.
In that years 1,178,818 couples
were married, or 46,606 fewer than
in 1923. .
Divorces, however,
170,952 in 1924, as c'-'T d ,th
166,006 In 1923. .
numbeT*of mar-
would Mrewe> t00
rUAod so it has since 1887, until
1924, with the exception of 1894
and 1904, when there were slight
slumps respectively from 1893 and
1903. These Director Steuart at-
tributes to financial panics.
But times were all right in 1924.
"Prosperity” was the slogan on
which President Coolidge was re-
elected that year. The only conclu-
sion Director Steuart can draw is
that It was a period during which
wedded bliss had, for the time be-
ing, lost something of Its sentimen-
tal appeal.
In 13 out of the 48 stales the
number of marriages did increase
even in 1924. What brought the to-
tal down was the decline in the oth-
er 35.
Now, why was there an increase
in those 137 Director Steuart’s in-
terpretation Is that the 13 have mar-
riage laws which are not strict, while
they adjoin states strict indeed.
The divorce’rate, Director Steu-
art’s figures show, has increased
steadily, without a single slump and
out of all proportion to the Increase
in population, for more than fifty
years.
The spread between the states,
.however, is wide—from 33.24 in
Nevada, to none at all in South Car-
olina in 1924.
Of course the explanation is that
South Carolina has had, since 1878
no law permitting divorce, while the
Nevada law makes it so easy the
Reno divorce colony—made up from
every corner of the United States—
is nationally known.
According to the returns receiv-
ed, there were 69,738 marriages
performed in Texas durin gthe year
1925, as compared with 71,992 in
1924, representing a decrease of 2,
254, or 3.1 per cent
During the year 1925 there were
15,120 divorces granted in the state
as compared with 16,375 in 1924,
representing a decrease of 255, or
1.7 per cent.
The estimated population of the
state of Texks on July 1, 1926, was
6,212,822, and on July 1, 1924, 6,-
117,040. On the basis of these esti*
mates, the number of marriages per
1,000 of the population was 13.4 i*-,
1925, as against 41.1 in 1924; and
the number of divorces per 1,000 of
the population was 2.9 in 1926, as
against 3 in 1924.
In Hopkins county there were 286
marriages in 1925 against 306 in
1924, or a decrease' of 20. There
were 60 divorces in 1925 against 29
divorces in 1924, or an increase of
31.
PUNS TO LET
CONTRCATS
Austin, Nov. 20.—Letting of large
Federal aid highway contracts in
Brasoria and Washington counties
waa considered here Monday by the
State (Highway Commission.
Awarding of contracts is not ex-
pected before Tuesday when A. R.
Losh, Federal highway engineer for
Texas, stationed at Fort Worth, will
arrive- With his arrival the commis-
sion will be officially notified of the
approval of the Brazoria county
project by the Federal Bureau of
Public Roads.
Proceeds from Texas district road
bonds are involved in the Brazoria
county project and press dispatches
from Washington have told of the
approval of this project by the bu-
reau of public roads. This approval
is tantamount to the acceptance by
the bureau of the validation of
$100,000,00 of road bonds by the
September call session of the Texas
Legislature.
For a time after the United States
Supreme court had jeopardized the
validity of the bonds by its decision
in the Archer county case, the bu-
reau refused to approve new Feder-
al aid projects, in which district
road bond funds were involved.
Cost of the Brazoria county hard
surfacing project approximates
$400,000.
The Washington county project
calls for the concrete paving of 18
miles of Highway 36. The Harrison
Engineering and Construction Cor-
poration of Buffalo, N. Y., was low
bidder by several thousand dollars,
but Nov. 16 Chairman Eugene Smith
of the commission announced that
company had been eliminated from
consideration because it did not have
a permit to do business in Texas
w'hen it filed Its bid, though its ap-
plication for a permit had been filed
at that time with the secretary of
state. This project will cost approx-
imately *474,000. The commission
acted on the advice of the attorney
general's department.
The Tibbett's Construction Com-
pany of Fort Worth was second low
bidder on the Washington county
project and whether the contract
will be swarded to this company or
new bids called for probably will be
decided Tuesday.

Baxter Springs. Kan., Nov. 29.—
Loui* Eno, implicated in the killing
of Laster, Joplin chief of detectives,
escaped from the city jail here Sat-
urday, it was announced Sunday. A
passer-by wh\pi he hailed from his
cell window handed him the keys to
the jail, policcwsay.
Eno was held technically on a
forgery charge. but was wanted
principally because his 12-year-old
daughter, Audrey, in a statement to
police last week, implicated him,
with his two brothers, in the Laster
slaying.
Laster was killed on a lonely
Oxark road from ambush last sum-
mer and Audrey later repudiated her
statement, but police here and at
Joplin still gave it credence1.
A man told police that he was
hailed by a man in a cell in the jail.
The prisoner asked him to get the
,all keys from their hook and pass
them through the bars to him. The
man admitted that he went into the
building, found the keys and hand-
ed them to Eno. Police have been
unable to break down his story that
he had not planned the jail break
before Eno called to him.
A large audience was out Sunday
night (o attend the service at the
Baptist church which murked the
closing of the pastorate of Rev. J.
A. Roper, who, with his family, left
today for Springfield, Missouri,
where he takes charge of the Sec-
ond church there.
Both services, Sunday morning
and Sunday night, drew a good at-
tendance.
Rev. Roper delivered a good ser-
mon Sunday morning and the night
service took the form largely of a
family service. He cancelled the
pulpit committee on whose shoulders
the responsibility of supplying the
congregation and community with a
spiritual leader rests. He also com-
plimented very highly a recently re-
signed deacon, J. R. Dodson, who is
also planning to leave Commerce
soon. Mr. Dodson in response took
advantage of the opportunity to ex-
press his appreciation of Rev. Ro-
per’s pastorate here*.
Pastor Roper took up a collection
Sunday to liquidate the indebted-
ness of the church, saying that he
desired to leave the church clear of
debt. The collection amounted to ap-
proximately the church indebtedness.
Following the night service etc
chairman of the pulpit committee,
V. K. Conway, called that body to-
gether for a conference anil took
first steps towards securing another
pastor for the local church.—Com-
