EVERYTHING FOR extras" in-

cluded Lord Glenconner's son and Raymond, and the lecturer told of one lady who had motored 25 miles every week for five years before she got the

"extra" she desired.

Discussion then began, the chairman, Dr. Ellis Powell, L.L.B. D.Sc., saying that be epoke as a scientist and a journa list, and had himself been grant- ed an "extra of his little boy, who died at the age of six weeks. The "extra" appeared as a boy of 10 years, and bore a strong family likeness to his living brother.

Mr. W. F. Hurndall, of Camber- well, who a few days previously offered £1,000 a year through the columas of The Daily News for a genuine mediam, here interrupt- ed and repeated his challenge. He was answered by a speaker. from the body of the hall, who said he would undertake to find the medium, but that the seeker must be honest about it.

Daily

Mr. Hurndall told 2 Vezes representative that he had hundreds of replies, including a letter from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, but nothing definite bad been put forward.

Mr. Marryatt then broke in, also from the body of the hall, and, after some bickering between him and the Rev. Walter Wyane, said, "Those extras have been deliberately put on to that plate." He was referring to a plate of Mr. Wynne's containing "extras" of Gladstone.

Mr. Wynne, protesting! said the plates never left his hands antil they went into the camera, and that be personally supervised the development.

Mr. Marryatt then said that he himself had experimented with, thousands of plates, and added: "Every one of those photos on the screen to-night is a fake,"

Uproar broke out at this, and Everyone seemed to be trying to speak at once.

Through the

noise came the faint voice of a lady: "May I ask a question2", followed by "No, no." "It's my turn," "Ohair! Chair! Order!"

So great was the disturbance that the meeting was all but summarily terminated. Mr. Wynne, however, said it ought| not to go forth that a fair hearing had been refused.

The chairman then endeavour- ed to restore order. Mr. Marryatt mounted the platform, where he was allowed to put forward seveI- al technical objections. "I can- not produce spirit photos under conditions where trickery in impossible," he said. Further uproar followed this remark.

"Most of us are prepared to accept Sir Arthur Conan Doyle before you," cried a lady from the body of the hall

"Yes," replied Mr. Marryatt, "because most of you are too lazy to use the brains God gave you."

The argument with the Rev. W. Wynne flared up once more and Mr. Marryatt repeated his accusation that the photo hed been faked. Mr. Wynne reasser- ted that the negative had not been touched. Mr. Marryatt said he was not accusing Mr. Hope,

"but some member of the firm.'

A further outburst of protest followed, and during the confu- sion, while the chairman vainly called for order, Mr. Hurndall mounted the platform and pinned a notice on the screen setting forth the terms of his challenge. The meeting then broke up.
