Bull Moose Born
Theodore Roosevelt
By Popular Demand: Portraits of the Presidents and First Ladies, 1789-Present
On the evening of June 22 , 1912, former President Theodore Roosevelt asked his supporters to leave the floor of the Republican National Convention in Chicago. Republican progressives reconvened in Chicago's Orchestra Hall and endorsed the formation of a national progressive party. When formally launched later that summer, the new Progressive Party chose Roosevelt as its presidential nominee. Questioned by reporters, Roosevelt said he felt as strong as a "bull moose." Thenceforth known as the "Bull Moose Party," the Progressives promised to increase federal regulation and protect the welfare of ordinary people. Roosevelt maintained that President William Howard Taft had allowed fraudulent seating of delegates in order to capture the presidential nomination from progressive forces within the party. However, the rift between the progressive and conservative wings of the Republican Party was apparent even before Roosevelt left office. Roosevelt's support of government regulation, his groundbreaking efforts in

Erik Weisz, the son of a rabbi, was born in Budapest, Austria-Hungary on 24th Budapest, 1874. The family emigrated to the United States and settled in Appleton, Wisconsin.
At an early age he became a trapeze performer in circuses. However at the turn of the century he changed his name to Harry Houdini and soon became known for his daring feats of extrication. This included escaping from any kind of bonds or container, from prison cells to padlocked underwater boxes. He became world famous when he exhibited his skills in several motion pictures.
Houdini wrote two books about magic, Miracle Mongers and Their Methods (1920) and A Magician Among the Spirits (1924). Harry Houdini died of peritonitis on 31st October, 1926, as a result of being punched in the stomach.

Harry Houdini Dies After Operations
Special to The New York Times DETROIT, Oct. 31.Harry Houdini, world famous as a magician, a defier of locks and sealed chests and an exposer of spiritualist frauds, died here this afternoon after a week's struggle for life, in which he underwent two operations. Death was due to peritonitis, which followed the first operation, that for appendicitis. The second operation was performed last Friday. Like a newly discovered serum, used for the first time in Houdini's case, it was of no avail. The chapter of accidents which ended fatally for the man who so often had seemed to thousands to be cheating the very jaws of death began early in October at Albany, N. Y. On the opening night of his engagement at a theatre there a piece of apparatus used in his "water torture cell" trick was overturned and struck him on the foot. Houdini called a physician from the audience, had his foot examined and then completed his performance. Afterward he went to a hospital and had the injured foot X-rayed. Appendicitis Follows Blow A bone was found to be partly fractured and Houdini was advised to discontinue his tour a few days and give prompt attention and plenty of rest to the injured foot. He declined to cancel his engagements, however, and did not miss a show.

The First Performances Of HARRY HOUDINI
With friend Jack Hayman, the young duo occasionally performed together, regarding themselves as being a professional act, although semi-professional probably would have suited the newcomers better. Hayman was soon replaced with Houdini's younger brother Theodore, who had gained the nick-name "Dash" because of his appeal for over stylish haberdashery. With Dash, an act billed as "The Brothers Houdini" featured a box trick which was originally credited to the English illusionist John Nevil Maskelyne, which they called "Metamorphosis". The box trick which Maskelyne took credit for, was really a very clever invention of the spirit medium team called "The Davenport Brothers". When Houdini and Dash performed it, one brother would be bound and locked in the box, and within a matter of seconds, the two somehow switched places.
The New Act THE HOUDINIS
The truth concerning where, when, and how Houdini met and married his wife Bess is unclear. It seems that the story of their courtship and marriage has been "romanced" by so many people, in so many books and films, so many times, that actual dates and factual situations have somehow gotten lost in the shuffle. Although Bess always celebrated their wedding anniversary on June 22nd (1894), her own account of who she claimed performed the marriage ceremony on this date has raised much speculation.

Professor Needs More Land for Bodies on Corpse Farm
By Randy Dotinga About 150 bodies are decomposing in the Body Farm, a University of Tennessee project that studies how humans decay after death. Here, in the farm's original 16-foot-square enclosure in 1981, bodies decay in a cage where they're protected from large animals. Image: Courtesy of William Morrow/HarperCollins Publishers For more than four decades, Bill Bass has been one of the top death experts in the United States. He's best known for developing the Body Farm, a 2.5-acre plot of land in Tennessee filled with some 150 corpses in various states of decay. The farm officially known as the Forensic Anthropology Research Facility allows scientists to study decomposition and make better estimates of time of death in criminal cases.

      Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec v Mina Crandon's followers believed she had genuine paranormal powers. HarryHoudini was equally certain she was a fraud. By Daniel Stashower It was a tense and rather peculiar gathering that took place on July 23, 1924, at 10 Lime Street, an elegant four-story brick house in the Beacon Hill neighborhood of Boston. In a narrow room on the top floor, five distinguished men had come together to try to communicate with the dead. Their hostessand guide to the spirit realmwas vivacious, 36-year-old Mina Crandon, who had in recent months become well-known to the public under a stage name of sorts: "Margery the Medium." Margery greeted her visitors in a flimsy dressing gown, bedroom slippers, and silk stockings. This attire, which left little to the imagination, was intended to rule out the possibility of concealment or trickery. It may have had other effects on her male visitors. Margery's girlish figure, fashionably bobbed light-brown hair, and sparkling blue eyes combined to make her, in the words of one bedazzled admirer, "too attractive for her own good."

    American Memory Web Site Hosts Houdini Collection
    By JOAN HIGBEE Last fall, 70 years after the death of Harry Houdini, the Library of Congress released a home page devoted to the legendary magician as part of its American Memory online collections. Here, more than 140 high-resolution graphics and documents, derived from primary source materials in multiple Library collections, chronicle an extraordinary life. Those who visit the site ( http://memory.loc.gov/ ) encounter Houdini through images and text masterminded by the illusionist as he effected his metamorphosis from unknown sideshow performer to international celebrity. A formidable collector, Houdini willed his holdings on magic and spiritualism to the Library of Congress. The special relationship that he forged with the nation's library through this remarkable gift gives a person dimension to Houdini's return to the world stage via cyberspace. The other major source for Houdini online is the McManus-Young Collection, also in the Rare Book and Special Collections Division. John J. and Hanna McManus, and Morris N. and Chesley V. Young jointly presented their 20,000-item magic collection to the Library in 1955. The online Houdini site contains 143 photographs and 29 related items of memorabilia.

DONATE Search Engine Optimization and Free Submission Hosted by Corporate Computers ©All rights D O'Donnell 2007 Debunking the Fakes Harry Houdini was a well known debunker of fake mediums and spiritualists. His interest began after the death of his mother, Cecilia Weiss. Because of his background as an illusionist, he recognized the techniques of mediums who claimed to have contacted the spirit world. Houdini became a crusader against these charlatans who bilked grieving families of their money. He frequently attended seances in disguise in order to expose the mediums. Houdini who could wriggle out of almost any situation knew every trick in the book. Margery, an American medium, claimed she could summon ghosts with the help of her dead brother, Walter. The day Houdini locked her in a wooden box, she couldn't summon a single ghost. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of the famous Sherlock Holmes character, was a contemporary and admirer of Houdini's. Ironically, Doyle was known for the logical explanations in the Holmes stories, yet he believed that Houdini's escapes and illusions were a supernatural phenomena.
