Ragtime Spook Sings Seer Out Of $1,000 Test Medium Too Busy to Aceept Offer to Prove Power When Ghosl "Load Up Wagon and All Ride" Rinn Tries to Proof Willing To Pay from $5,000 to $15,000 for Sight or Soimd of Real Spirits Joseph F. Rinn, who has been offer? ing from $5,000 to $15,000 for a veriiiud spook at intcrvals for several years, dropped in last night on the spiritual ist convention at the Hotel with a check for $1,000, which he offered to give to John Slatcr, intro duced as "the greatest medium," for proof that Mr. Slater was not a faker.

The challenge, which came right on the heels of an offer of $10,000 by Mr. Slater to any non-sectarian charity if any one could prove that he was a faker, cnused a tremendoua uproar. Men and women sprang from their seats and crowded toward where Mr. Rinn stood, yclling, "Put him out! Put him out! Test Offered By Rinn It was ten minutes before the uproar could be quieted. Mr.

Rinn brought down more criticism on his head by ex plaining his offer. If Mr. Slater would read a scaled message then and there or read a book with his back to it, or in any other way satisfy un prejudiced observers that he had super natural powers, said Mr. Rinn, the check for $1,000 was his. This statement was regarded as a deep insult by most of those present.

They advised Mr. Rinn to hire a hall with his $1,000. A woman who said she was an "amateur medium" told him that such an offer was beneath the dig nity of Mr. Slater, but that she would take it up herself and fulfill the condi? tions in en amateur way. Mr.

Slater, who had been silent dur? ing the confusion, announced when it had died down that he would aceept the challenge. "But not here," he said. He did not say where or when he in tended to furnish his proofs. He was too busy. Spirits were buzzing all around him demanding an opportunity to entertain the audience.

One of them, the husband of a wom? an who was present, was int'roduced by Mr. Slater and obliged with nn original song about "Load Up the Wagon and We'll All Take a Ride." It was a pretty good song and gave the I impressicn that a good time was had by all in spirit land. Spirits Oppose Prohibition This impression was strengthened by another spirit, who told Mr. Slater that he was mighty glad he was dead and wouldn't return to the U. S.

A. under any cdnsideration so long as i prohibition prevailed. A good many of the spirits who were lounging around I waiting to put in a word got oif some better remarks about Mr. Rinn at their first opportunity. There is a strong sentiinent against Mr.

Rinn in the spirit world, and if its denizens have the opportunity there is no doubt whatevcr that they will blackball Mr. Rinn unanimously when he comes up'for admission, thus deny ing him the only really satisfactory proof obtainable. During the clamor that greeted his offer to give Mr. Slater $1,000 to prove that he wasn't a faker, Mr. Slater's secretary made his wav to Mr.

Rinn and talked of out. Ho even called two hotel detectives, but the detectives didn't put Mr. Rinn out and neither did the medium's secre? tary. Mr. Rinn went out under his own steam after Mr.

Slater had said he would aceept his not here." He only waited long enough to point out that Mr. Slater's secretary had dumped a lot of sealed envelopes on top of those placed on the table with questions in them for the medium to answer, so that it was quite probable that Mr. Slater would not reach the questions by newspaper re porters. Mr. Rinn's guess was a good one.

The reporters' questions were sunk without a trace. Several persons had asked Mr. Slater for private readings in his room, but the management of the hotel forbade it, fearing that such a proceeding would be in violation of the city ordinance against fortune telling.

Girl Scouts Are Called Exponents Of World Peace Untainled by Militarisin, Says Mrs.

Jane D. Rippin, National Director, as She Boards Olympic for Trip Mrs. Jane Deetcr Rippin, national ditector of tho Girl Scouts, in a state? ment yesterday declared that the Girl Scouts was an international movement toward peace and was in no way taint ed with militarism. Mrs. Rippin made the statement just before boarding the Olympic, on which she sailed to attend an international conference of Girl Scout cornmission ers, which will be held in London July 20.

She goes as a representative of 104,000 American Girl Scouts and will be the guest of honor at the con? ference. Twenty-six other countries in wJaich this movement is organized will be represented at the conference. Mrs. Rippin naid: "Drilling and wearing a khaki uniform are the ground3 on which we have been at tacked, but there are good reasons for the use of both, as any one can see after looking it over. Any one who has ever tried to handle a group of people and move them from one point to another knows the value of simple drilling orders.

We use the drill methods as are used in every gym nasium in the country. and gym'nasium teachers are not accused of fostering militaris.m. "The second point of attack is the uniform. We like it because it is democratic. There can be no hurt feelings when all the girls are dressed alike and nobody's ciothes are better than any one's elsc.

The only differ ence is in the badges the girls wear and most of those are given for pro liciency in the home urts, which hariiy siems militaristic, does it? Khaki is the chosen color because it does not show. the dirt. It is too bad that this color is associated with Boldiery, tut if any one can tell us another color that will serve tho purpose as well we will be delighted to consider changing our uniform. "There are 500,000 Girl Scouts in twenty-six countries and one of the chief aims is international peace. Girl Scouts of to-day are the future mothers of sons who ordinarily would be iight ing material of the next generation.

But if 500,000 Girl Scouts all over the world live by the same code, keep the same scout laws and promise to be tiue to God and ountry and help others at all times it is likely that a basis of iinderstanc'ing will be passed on to the next generation that will make wars an impor-sibility." Mrs. Rippin will spend two montns in England, Scotland, France and Bel gium and will take the scout training in each of those countries.

B. Stanchfield Dies Suddenly At Islip Home Noted Lawyer Withdrew From Stillman Case Sev? eral Weeks Ago, Hoping To Restore His liealtii Brilliant Career at Bar Caudidnte for Governor in! 1900 and Led Boom for Wilson Against Bryon John B. Stanchfield, noted lawyer and for many years a promincnt iigure in Democratic politics, died yesterday morning at his summer home in Islip, L. I. He was sixty-six years old.

His withdrawal three weeks ago from the Stillman divorce case, in which he had been counsel for Mrs. James A. Stillman, afforded to Mr. Stanchfield a much-needed rest, but failed to bring to him the hopcd-for res toration of health. The pcrsiatent neuri tis from which he was suffering proved to be but a symptom of a far more grave affection of the kidneys, which culmi nated in his death.

At his bedside were his wife, r.on, daughter and son-in-law, who are hi3 only near relativcs sur viving. The funeral will be held at Elmira, N. his native place, next Tuesday. Barry Stanchfield was the son of John K. and Glovina S.

Stanchfield; his father, one of the foremost physi cians of Elmira, N. and son of an Englishman who founded Leeds, and named it after his native city in England. He was born at Elmira on March 13, 1855, and was educated in the public schools and Free Academy of that city; at Amherst College. where he was graduted in 1876, and at the law school of Harvard University. In college ho was a member of Psi Upsilon and a leading athlete, especial ly in rowing and baseball, nnd ranked above the average in clnss scholarship.

Partner of David B. Hill home from Harvard in 1877 he gave a decisive bent to his whole subsequent life by entering the law offiee, of David Bennett Hill, where he completed his preparation for the bar and received his training as a The next year, 1878, he was admitted to the bar and became Mr Hill's law partner, a rela tionsnip which continued until Mr Hill became Governor of the state in 1885. er date he became a mem rtrm of Reynolds, Stanchfreld Collin, a conneetion for twenty years. Mean time he became actively inter ested in politics, both as a partv man ager and as.an officeholdcr. Fro'm 18S0 to 885 he was District.

Attorney of Chemung County, a place which he owed largely to Mr. Hill's influence, but which he filled so ably ns to com mend himself to popular favor there after on hia own merita. In 1886. 1887 and 1888 he was Mayor of Elmira. After a few years of retirement from public life he served in the State As sembly in tho eessions of 1895 and 1896, in the latter being the leader of the Democratic minorlty.

Mr. Stanchfield removed to New York City in 1900, though fcr five years more hc retained his Elmira law part nership. In that year he was the Democratic candidate for Governor of the state. He had incurred some of tho factional antngonism which was directed agrinst his formeT partner and friend, David B. Hill, and his ca? reer as counsel for various railroada and other corporationa nnd his opposi tion, though not in the Legislature, to an employers' liability bill, had brought upon him the displeasure of labor organizations.

Nevertheless, he made a good run, in an ovcrwhelmingly Republican year, against B. B. Odell jr. and 15,000 votes more than William J. Bryan, who was his party's candidate for President at the same election.

In 1901 hc was the Democratic candidate for United States Senator. Led Boom for Wilson Mr. Stanchfield was a prominent New York delegate to the Democratic National Convention of 1912, and was foremost in opposing the candidacy of William J. Bryan and the leader of the movement in support of Woodrow Wil? son. He made one of the most strik ing Bpeeches in.

the convention, de nouncing Mr. Bryan as selfish, favor hunting and publicity-seeking, and as not meaning to support any Demo? cratic candidate but himself, ar.d con cluded it by announcing his own vote for Wilson, the first New York vote to be thus east. When the question of consolidating the metropolitan municipalities into a "greater New York" arose, in 1896, Mr. Stanchfield, as a representative of an "upstate" conatituency, earnestly op? posed it, on the ground that it.would enable this city, at any rate, by com bining action with Buffalo and some other city, completely to control the government of the state. In 1900 he was a vigorous opponent of the notori ous Ramapo water job, and pledged himself if eleeted Governor to sign any bill that would repeal the charter of the Ramapo company.

Counsel for Harry Thaw Mr. Stanchfield was from hia earliest years successful and prosperous as a lawyer. While in Elmira he waa coun? sel for the Erie and the Delaware, Lackawanna Western railroada, and the Elmira Water, Light and Railroad Company. He owned many houses in that city and much rural land through out Chemung County. On his removal to this city he established here an offiee of his Elmira firm of Reynolds, Stanchfield Collins, at 6 Nassau Street, but some years later changed it for that of Stanchfield Levy, in the Equitable Building.

Hia practice com priaed both civil and criminal cases, and he soon was recognized as one of the leaders of the metropolitan bar. He was counsel for Harry Kendall Thaw, and was chiefiy instrumental in obtaining hia relcase from the State Hospital for Criminal Insane at Mat teawan after many futile attempta to that end had been made by others. He was counsel for George J. Gould two years ago, when the latter'a younger brother, Frank J. Gould, sought to have him removed from trus teeship of their father's estate.

counsel for the defence in the great coal case in 1917, when forty one individual operators and sixty nine bituminous coal mining corpora? tiona were arraigned for alleged con in restraint of trade, and after a month's" trial and twenty-four hours' deliberation by the jury secured their acquittal. Some Noted Cases He was counsel for the Interbprough Railroad Company in much of gation; for William Hamlin Childs, charged with irregularities in the ex? penditure of Fusion funds in omploy ing ex-Governor Sulzer aa a speaker in the Mitchel mayoralty campaign; for the contestanta in the Amos F. Eno will for the defense in the trial of Robert C. Wood, former Public Serv lice Commissioner, for alleged bribery, and in other consptcuous cases. The occusion in which he nppcareo in the County Courthouae was ai counsel Death Ends Notable Career John B.

Stanchfield for the Guaranty Trust Company ln its suit against the Postal Life Insur? ance Company for possession of the Sherry restaurant property on Fifth Avenue. He served as counBel for Mrs. Stillman in the now pending divorce suit until his failing health made his retirement impcrative. At the entry of the United States into the World War Mr. Stanchfield was outspoken in his warnings and de nunciations of the activities of German spies.

He urged the vigorous legislative and executive action against them and suggested that it should be made a grave crime, incurring a heavy penalty, for any one cognizant of them to fail to report them to the authori? ties.

BERTHOLD A. BAER Well meaning editors have said that through my writings I have lifted Death out of a horrifying state into a socially con versable subject, out of Darkness into Light. Why should the funeral serviees for a beloved departed be dreary, mournful, tearful? Why make them a Memorial of heartache and grief, instead of a Memorial of pleasant thoughts of a happy past and a belief in a bright future? There is nothing funereal in the "Fifth Avenue Memorial," New York's Institution for Burial and Cremation (Non Sec tarian), 40 West 57th Street. The parlors are beautiful; the artistic surroundings uplifting. A service of understanding is held to comfort the living in honoring the dead.
