VOLIVA 1(1 JAIL: DEFIES HIS FOES Successor to Dowie States He Will Never Pay Judgment.

GOING TO WORK IN CELL

PROPHET ANNOUNCES HE WILL EDIT TWO NEWSPAPERS WHILE HE IS LOCKED UP IN JAIL AT WOODSTOCK.

Chicago, Sept. 1. Hurling words of defiance and assuring several of his faithful followers that he 'was suffering Imprisonment to sustain the eternal principals of right and justice, Wilbur Glenn Vollva bade his friends ood night and retired to his first night ' in jail in Woodstock, Henry county, last evening, following his arrest for failure to pay a judgment of 410.000. The spiritual successor of John Alexander Dowie and the head of the recently deposed political organization of Zion City was taken to the lall in the afternoon. Besides the sheriff's officers who arrested Vollva. be was accompanied by Capt. A. A. Walker of Zion City, his personal bodyguard and attendant, and several of his closest friends. He brought along a full supply of stationery and papers and asserted that his editorial work for the Zion Herald and Leaves of Healing would be continued behind the bars of the jail. Refused to Pay Judgment. The leader of the Dowleites must serve six months in jail because he refused to pay a judgment of $10,000 awarded to Phillip Motherill, formerly a resident of Zion City. Motherill, of the now triumphant faction in Zion City, alleged that Voliva had libeled him in his newspaper. Voliva retained three attorneys yesterday and it was reported last night that he intended to make an effort to regain his liberty through habeas corpus proceedings today. His counsel, A, K. Stearns, D. T. Smiley and Geo. W. Field, last evening refused to discuss the matter. They held long conferences with the religious leader. "I -am in Jail where I shall remain," Voliva said. "I am standing out for a principle and I will never pay the I $10,000 judgment. After my prosecution for alleged libel the jury returned a verdict for $?0,000. The trial judge cut the finding in two. The .excessive verdict shows conclusively ; that the jurors were ruled by passion and prejudice. - Edits Papers From Jail. "After an execution was issued and a verbal demand made on me for the $10,000 and costs of the suit I filed a personal property schedule showing I was not able to pay the money. Then a capias was issued and I was arrested today. I will continue to run the two Zion City papers and write editorials from the jail. I have no fear of Isen bars when I know that I am standing for a principle." In the personal schedule which Vollva filed he enumerated his property as one writing desk, a set of religious books, his wearing apparel, and 83 cents In cash. Vollva's followers are making preparations to see that their leader wants for no comfort while in jail. He Is to have Capt. Walker as "his personal attendant throughout his period of incarceration. He will have articles of furniture which he desires placed in his cellroom and his meals, unless the jail fare proves acceptable wHl be brought to him from Woodstock's best hotel.

Does Bible Force Believe In Spirits, is Question Raised

St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 1. The Rev. Edmund Duckworth, rector of St. James Episcopal Memorial church declared today that spirit communication is a necessary corrollary to the teaching of the church 'in regard to the immortality. , He gave his views of the subject as a comment upon the sermon delivered by Bishop Samuel Fallows of the Reformed Episcopal church in Chicago. "Belief .in communication with spirits follows naturally from the teaching of the church In regard to the Immortality," said the rector. "I do not see how any one can read the Bible without accepting the declaration that Bishop Fallows makes unless he treats

the Bible as an unbeliever and as a materialist. "I might cite Innumerable instances from the scriptures of spirit communication. Christ himself talked with. Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration. St. Paul was lifted into the third heaven and states that he there saw and heard things unlawful for men to know." Mr. Duckworth states that he cannot imagine in what manner the communications take place any more than he can explain the mystery of telepathy, the relation of one personality to another, nor has he any idea of the spiritual bodies or whether they are near or far, whether, indeed, space matters a whit, given the absence of matter.

OF MUCHJIITEREST Local Temperance People Watch Social Club Investigation.

TO AFFECT WAYNE COUNTY

Followers of the no booze proposition in this county as well as prosecuting attorney, Charles Ladd are interested in the outcome of the investigation of Attorney General Bingham, relative to the operation of so-called social clubs in "dry" territory. It Is

understood that there are a number of such clubs organized in the dry territory of Wayne county which includes all townships with the exception of Wayne and Jackson. A number of the clubs have obtained charters from the state.

If the investigation of these clubs

warrants subsequent action, suits will be brought to compel the revocation

of the charters of the institutions, all of which are being Incorporated under the laws of the state.

A section of the corporation law

enables persons desiring to form them

selves into a corporate body for social

or intellectual purposes to obtain a charter, which carries specific rights.

It is a question with the attorney-gen

eral as to whether among the rights conveyed is that of enabling the incorporators to evade the intents and purposes of the remonstrance law by bringing beer and whiskey into territory voted "dry" and consuming it at a common meeting place, however careful the directors are to see that no person except members have the

privilege of obtaining liquor at the

meeting place. Whether the officials move to cause a general revocation of

charters, will depend on the interpretation of the law and the practices in tne clubrooms.

BROKE All RECORDS Last Month Busiest August Police Have Had in Many Years. ONLY FEW ASSAULT CASES

"What We Want Ar Facts." The sentence "What we want an facts" Is correct, says the Ltterarj Digest. Tfes decision is based on th feHowiac frem Oeeld Brown's "Q rammar of English Grata mars," page 289 "What is a kind of double relative equivalent te that which or thos which" (making it. singular or plura according to the meaning). On pagt 300 of the same work occurs tneifol lowing: "Obs. 9. The pronoun what is usually of the singular number though seaaetlmes plural, as: I musi turn to the faults, or what appeal such to use. Byron.' 'All distortion and mimiestes. as seob, are what raise aversion instead of pleasure. Steele. 'Every single impression, made evei by the same object, is dlstingvlshablt from what have gene before and fron what succeed. Karnes' "Elements ol Criticism." ' "

State Health Commissioner Porter, of New York, says that unless prompt and' radical measures are taken the 5,000 Indians still existing in that state will rapidly dwindle in numbers on account of the ravages of consumption and other germ diseases, and the race ere long become extinct. Scientific investigations have shown that tuberculosis was unknown among the aboriginies of America before the coming of the white man, but owing to the unsanitary mode of life of the Indian he becomes an easy prey to the disease.

ADDITIONAL SOCIETY. The Woman's Foreign Missionary society of the Third Methodist church will meet Thursday afternoon at twothirty o'clock in the church parlors. Mrs. A. H. Kenna and Mrs. Frank Miller will be hostesses. All members and friends Interested in this work are invited to attend. Jit . 01 Miss Helen Buchanan of Piqua, O., has returned home after an extended visit with Miss Mable Redrow, 234 S. Eleventh, street.

In order to give the London policemen a day of rest each week it has been necessary to add 1,500 men to the force.

August broke all records as far as arrests were concerned. There are always more arrests during August than any other month of the year, but last month there was a total of 88 violations and it was the busiest month the police have experienced for several years. The raid on Proffitfs pool room on Fort Wayne avenue last Saturday night did much to swell the total, as fifteen colored crap shooters were apprehended and slated at police headquarters. Intoxication, as usual, leads the list at 28. There were two arrests for grand larceny, one of which was released, and the other bound over to the circuit court. There were only five arrests for assault and battery, a new record for August, when the pugilistlcally Inclined generally become greatly peeved as a result of the hot weather and are very apt to give vent to their feelings in a forcible manner, to their sorrow. The arrests by causes, were as follows: Drunk, 28; assault and battery, 5;

insanity, 1; suspicion, 12; gambling, 5;

running automobile on side walk; 1;

wife desertion, 1; begging, 2; larceny,

8; pointing fire arms, 1; provoke, 1;

association, 1; prostitution, 1; beating board bill, 1; grand larceny, 2; vagrancy, 2; drunk and rioting, 4; visiting

gambling bouse, 14; running gambling house, 1; cruelty to animals, 20.

consin commission, created by the

legislature, last winter, which is to investigate the water power rights of the state. This commission is to make a report on its investigation at the

special meeting of the legislature this

coming winter.

Held by Companies. The water power lights of Wiscon

sin are now either in the hands of. or

claimed by the big lumber companies, railroad and traction companies, paper mlH companies and other large corporations, to which they will be very valuable in a few years. The Droblem

in Wisconsin Is more important to

that state than to many of the other states. On this important Question

there is now a war on between Chief

Forester Pinchot and Secretary Ballin-

ger of the interior.

The United States is makine a claim

that power sites in the west will re

vert back to the nation. The commission in Wisconsin is investigating with

the same purpose in view.
