Parades were held in this city, many women taking part and shouting "Death to Soleillant!" and "Down with Fallieres!" The demonstrations were mostly orderly. Several arrests were made. The demonstrations were organized not so much against Soleillant as to express the voice of the populace against the wave of unspeakable crimes committed on little girls which lately has increased to an alarming degree and which it is feared the commutation of the sentence of Soleillant will only stimulate. Storm at Scene of Crime. Several thousand persons assembled at the Place St. Ambroise, near which lived the little Marthe Erberding, the victim of Soleillant. The rage of the women of this district has been great since President Fallieres showed clem ency to Soleillant. They assembled this afternoon with their husbands and others of their sympathizers and wero augmented in numbers by crowds of curious persons. Their orderly cries for justice were quickly changed to cries for "Death to Soleillant!" and "Down with Fallieres!" as the procession, led by a woman who carried a little girl on her shoulders with the purpose of indicating the object of the manifestation, moved toward the Place de la Republlque. Soon the streets were choked by a vast mob, and the police reserves were called out to disperse it. The parade, however, assembled again and several of the more violent demonstrators were arrested. . Meanwhile other parades had been, organized at different quarters of the city, one in the Place Vendome, at the ministry of justice. This also was led by a woman with a babe on her shoulders. The crowd shouted "Death to violators!" At nightfall this parade was dispersed by the police, who feared that with darkness there would be disorder. Smaller processions traversed the grand boulevards of the city. Pre Join, in Outcry. The newspapers of Paris are devot r i

J

ing great space to the Soleillant case.

Many of them loudly condemn the fail ure of President Fallieres to permit the law to take Its course and all of them agree that the commutation of this sentence signifies the passing forever of the guillotine from France. Some of the Journals express the oplnloin that the escape of Soleillant from Ion that the escape of Soleillant from on crime. The entire question of crime will be taken up at the approaching session of parliament, especially as Paris and other large cities are becoming alarm ingly infested with another type of criminal known as "the Apache," who in the secluded sections almost daily maim and rob and sometimes murder their victims. Their weapon Is the knife, and gathering in bands, they often wantonly stab pedestrians and frequently policemen merely for the sake of stabbing. M. Tounty. director of the Paris police, declared today that his force was entirely Insufficient to cope with the situation. He recommended the adoption of corporal punishment for lawbreakers as an offset to comfortable and inviting prisons.

Harangued 1,600 People in Big Tent to Regain Supremacy. DEMANDS LEWIS' SURRENDER Heir of Dowie Holds Rival Meeting in Tabernacle and Ignores His Enemy. Zlon City. Cept. 16. Invectives were hurled, bitterness of spirit was vented and unconditional surrender, without quarter, was demanded by Wilbur Gienn oliva an dhls coherts, who gathered in an immense tent in Zlon City yesterday. The demand was made on John A. Lewis, named as the leader of the Chnstlon Catholic Apostolic church by John Alexander Dowie in his last will and testament. As Voliva harangued the 1,600 persons gathered In the tent, in the whitepainted wooden tabernacle a half-mile away Overseer Lewis calmly addressed 300 of his followers, thanked them ior their adherance to the principles laid down by the founder of the church and with a prayer concluded the usual Sunday service. Samples From DodRern. A few of the inscriptions printed on the sheets were: Let all Zlon stand together and be prepared to resist every movement of the traitors and hypocrites in Zion City. Zion will stand no nonsense from anybody, and In the name of the Most High God, I defy the whole outfit, from the little, two-legged fice-dogs, that snarl at my heels on the streets, to the cunning tricksters who meet behind closed doors and plan to execute their master's plots for the destruction of Zion City. Heading the dodgers were the words: "Declaration of war against tho hosts of hell in Zion City." In the tent the hearers were worked into a frenzy when Theodore Forby, one of the Voliva followers, offered resolutions, "upholding the principles of theocracy and recognizing Wilbur Glenn Voliva, duly appointed and .God given leader of the Christion Catholic Apostolic church." A man arose to voice oposition to the resolution but was quickly suppressed and at Voliva's suggestion all present arose to signify their approval of the measure. Addresses made by Overseer Lewis were characterized by Voliva as "a lot of Insane gibberish, the utterances of an insane brain." " I will launeh a battle in Zion City," he shouted, "compared with which the

t

battles of the past are as zephyrs to a hurricane." John C. Hately. receiver of the Zlon City properties, did not escape Voliva's outpour of Invective. "A sixteen-year-oid 'kid' could display as much business ability." he declared. "Hately lias sold a few horses, discharged a few employes and given away the lace factory." To Mbovr o Quartrr.

The man thinks Dr. Dowie'e first will was proper and that he is entitled to leadership in Zion." said Overseer Lewis. "His violence on the platform Is doing him more harm than good. His attacks do not bother me at all. There will be a conference In Zlon City next week of the delegates of the church from various parts of the world." 110 PASTEURIZATION President Coit Says Disease Must be Eradicated From Animals. Brussels, Sept. 15. The compulsory pasteurization of milk as a means of effectively improving the supply was denounced today by Dr. Henry L. Colt of Newark, N. J., president of the American Medical association of Medical MiUc commissions, In an address at the International milk congress. Dr. Coit said that to employ pasteurization as anything more than a temporary expedient would be undesirable, because It would remove the incentive to the public to compel the producer to accomplish an improvement. Pasteurized milk in bulk Is not only intrinsically less desirable than clean, raw milk, declared Dr. Coit, but is actually unsafe unless it is consumed within twenty-four hours, and Is kept at or below 10 degrees centigrade (50 degrees Fahrenheit). Dr. Coit also said: 'To resort to the compulsory pas teurization of thfc milk supply of large cities as a protection against tuber culosis, instead of taking more radical measures for Its eradication from milk herds, would be protecting those who live in those districts and expose all who live in rural districts. The only real safeguard lies in the complete eradication of bovine tuberculosis."
