WILSON SHOWS IMPROVEMENT. AlnrmliiK Iteport Mcnled May 11 at (leak Middle of Week.

WAsmNUTON, tee. 13. President Wilson may not resume, his oftltial activities before the middle of next week, although hla Improvement since Thursday has been rapid. Dr. Cary T.

Urayson, hit physician, reported to-day that his patlent'waH doing well, but that his recovery from the nttnelt of Influenza would be greatly facilitated If the President avoided all buslncs burdens until he had entirely recovered. At thu Executive ofllces Secretary Tumulty said reports In New York thrft tho President's condition was alarming were alifolutely groundless. Mr. Tumulty inadu the following olllclal statement: "Tho Picsldent's condition Is entirely normal and satlsfaotoiy, except for a cold which has caused hlin some discomfort, but has at no time threatened any complications. As a matter of precaution.

Dr. Grayson advised that the President sus-lnd his usual ofHelnl activities, Including the receiving of visitors, In order to throw off the cold and give him an opportunity for rest and recusation. "The expectation Is that the President will resume his ufllrlnl duties early neM week. Thero Is nothing In the. President's condition to cause the slightest alarm." The reports to which Mr.

Tumulty re-fencd probably originated from the fact that the President had been arranging for a vacation during the holiday recess of Congress. It Is believed that the holiday period will be spent at some point on the Uulf coast, probably at Oulfport or Pas Chris-thin. Miss. Hoth of these resorts boast excellent golf rourees.

Sir Alfred Turner, the well known nrltlsh soldier, who has written hooks on many subjects and whoso recent ghfst stories attracted much attention. tells Tin: SDN correspondent that he has discovered a medium to materialize unfailingly spiritual forms nnd to obtain other remarkable psychic phenomena. The name of this medium Is Cecil Husk. He Is 70 years old nnd completely blind. Ills seances nre held In a house at Peckham on Sunday only owing to falling health.

Sir Alfred says he has been acquainted with Husk for many years and that he wa originally a singer In Carl Uosa's opera company. Husk's sister won fame as the creator of th part of Laity Anpfta In Gilbert and Sullivan's "Patience." Sir Alfred says he did not care to tell the public about this wonderful man as he did not deem It worth while to attempt to convince the scoffers. "Put now." he adds, "I feel that at my age I should let the world know what I have seen personally and help to spread my knowledge of the truth of spiritualism. 'Husk Is one of the few mediums have ever seen whose pyschlc power was able to work against antagonism and even the most Inimical circle. Mrs.

He smiled and eald to each one of us: "'It's all true, it's all tiue. Let tlie good work go "Iteferilng to the Titanic disaster, he told us that It not true that he had been hit on the head with a spar, but gave us vivid Iptl.m of the terrible time he had in composing the multi tudes who were suddenly plunged Into eternity. He said that to the majority so suddenly that when the popli. awok- In the other world they unable to leallze that they ere no i longer on earth, and It them some lline before they realized the new condl- lions surrounding them 'A foitnlght ago this Sundiy Caidltial Newman appe 1 befoie u-, carrying a Ib-ry cioss In front of him He also passed smilingly about the loom. "Various other forms have been tna-teilallzed lit Husk's place.

I may say that I never attended a seance at Husk's home when he has not been successful. "Naturally there are scoffers who suggest fraud, but the conditions at Husk's place preclude that possibility. We sit In semi-darkness lu the room, every one present being seated about a big table with their hands Joined. I usually sit on one side of Husk and a friend of mine sits on the other side, and I can assure Tin: St'N- most positively that there Is absolutely not the slightest possibility of fraud.

In this very room where you are now sitting, materializations have occulted without any medium being present. "I remember one occasion when a lady came here for the first time nnd heard the voice of her son speak to her. The boy died In peculiar clicumstances, from an overdose, of veronal, and everything pointed to suicide, but the coroner's Jury returned an open veidlct. Here In this room he told his mother It was an accident nnd a greut load was thus lifted fiom her mind. "In this room also Lady Mulr Mac-kenzlc received flowers of an unknown species wlille 1 myself received a brass i-poon wluch I am told Is an antique Mexican Incense server.

When asked by The Sr.v correspondent how It wns that In darkened room It was possible to Identify materialized splilts. Gen. Tinner said; "Their aura Illuminated them. Some times the spirit placed Its hand to Its ear and the palm glowed like toft electric light, Illuminating the face of the materialized Sir Alfred says he also has encountered mil spirits. On one occasion a lady was seized by the back of the neck, causing her to scream out with pain.

One of Mr. George's assistants leniem- beied perfectly that parting order of Mr. Carnegie, "lie turned to me." said this man, "and he told me to have patterns for both windows drawn. Then he lowered hl.i voice and said: 'Hut don't make the figures In the figure window very good. I don't want Mrs.

Carnegie to like It. You know, women nerally have their own way and this time I want to have my way." He -Ainttrd and smiled and went out.

"Mr. Oarnoilo came In, usually wilh Mrs. Carnegie, perhaps us many as twenty-live times to see how the window was coming ulong and each time his enthusiasm grew. As he admired the tall, tugged pine trees, the amethyst hills, the shimmering ilvcr, he gave utterance to the most pantheistic sentiments, such as Foiiio might consider startling In a simple Scot.
