English property owners in the

there says Mrs. A. Ravestos of PIG

from there.
"The war started. The English gov

and the colonists have reVer had any
confidence in the British government,
so everything has dropped to dead level
with no prospect of a rise for years."
continued Mrs. Ravestos.
Mrs. RaVestos stayed In Durham,
Africa, for a year, and while there she
saw Mona Bata, the chief who was
killed In battle last week. She has
seen many amusing incidents and sew
eral terrible Cnes. She says:
Americans who have not seen have
no idea of the horrors perpetrated
there. Mona Bata was accustomed to
kill young girls, crush the bodies and
use the stuff as q llniment on the bodies
of his men to make them bullet proof.
But as in the last battle with the
English. Mona Bata and 800 of his men
We're killed In battle, the liniment didn't

AIRED IN COURT
M Manager Charged by ex-MedicaI Ex-
aminer Of Making Long Distance
Declarations of Personal Nature
Dismissed at Preliminary

DR.. S. B. Molin, who was charged by
DIR. e. LeGrand Vaughan, both prom
inent in the Order of Pendo, an insur-
ance company, with threats to kill
and murder" was released yesterday
when arraigned before Police Judge
Rose.
The threats which DIR. Molin is al
legged to have made We're over the tel
ephone and Judge Rose hel that un-
less Identification was absolutely GER
tain no conviction "ould be made on
such evidence.
DR., Molin, who is the supreme man
ager of the Order of Pendo, was ar
rested July 10 by Detective Ritch on a
complaint sworn to by DR.. Vaughan,
former medical examiner of the order,
charging him with threats to kill.
When Molin was arrested ne gave
bonds for $500 and was released.
Yesterday it developed that the al
legged threats were made by Molin over
the telephone, and two witnesses, the
landlady where Vaughan had boarded,
and John Stein, an employe of the for
mer medicl examiner, swore they heard
DR.. Molin threaten to kill Vaughan on
Broadway, when he saw him next, over
the telephone.
Previous to the time when Vaughan
swore to the complaint against
Molin he was the supreme medical eX-
aminer of the Order of -oendo. At an
election of the order a successor was
chosen and Vaughan is said to have
blamed Molin for the result.
