'tell us what to do. Herr Won Portan." j"
Herr Won Porten replies: First you

they live and what influences them "
But how can we learn these
things?" is the next question:
They Look to Hostess
"By making inquiries OF the papers.
Write to the papers and tell them that
you as women want to know more
about the Holy Rollers, in the hope
that that knowledge may show you how
to help them," is the reply Of Herr Won
Porten.
The women talk among themselves,
hut before they have said many words
their eyes turn upon Mrs. Won Porten.
She is a woman wen loved by her
neighbors and one that they feel they
can depend upon.
You must do this thing, Mrs. Won
Porten."

Commands are not necessary" re-

You may rest your eyes now, since
you have seen the beginning of the
movement in st. Louis.
Mrs. Won Porten's guests did not or
ganize themselves into a club. they did
not run quickly for a Roberts Rules

They did talk most earnestly about the
Holy Rollers as they drank their
coffee.
At later meetings they talked more
The news of John Creffields death at
the hands of George Mitchell brother
of one of the prophets victims, and
later of the death of George Mitchell
from a shot fired by Esther Mitchell
herself together with the dispatches
explanatory of the sect, have deepened
the impressions.
Studying the Holy Rollers
They learned of the "Holy Rolls"
upon which the names of all members
were written and of the sanctuary in a
tent in a grove where these rolls are
kept near Corvallis, Ore. They learned
also of the way in which Esther Mitch
ell regarded her brothers death-as IL
she had done righteous thing-and
they felt that action was necessary.
In speaking of the matter Mrs. Won
Porten lays greatest stress upon the
fact that Monrovia Holy Rollers are
said to believe in sacrificing children,
and it is this propaganda that she and
her associates wish to stop.
The fact that she will be unable to
speak to them in English does not de-
ter her in her desire to go. They rely
upon a way being opened so that the
Holy Rollers may be turned back to
right living.
Her husband is willing that she
should go if the needs of the case de-

The time of the departure of the
missionary that will be sent has not
been set neither has the particular
point to which she is to go been deter
mined.

PASADENA, Aug 12.-An accident
occurred yesterday at the site of the
new Braly block on South Raymond
avenue which, while possessing its
comedy side, came near to being seri-
GUS in its immediate results.
Contractor William G. Crowell has
had large force of workmen on the
ground for a week excavating for the
foundations of the big building, and
the trenches have of necessity gone
down pretty Deep
Yesterday afternoon the wall Of one
of these trenches caved in with but
little warning. the falling earth CATCH
ing one man, a Mexican, whose name
cannot be learned, and burying him
up to his neck.
The soil was soft and the situation
no more than temporarily uncomfort
able until without warning again a
water pipe near the excavation broke
and began to flood the imprisoned
Mexican with rush Of water from the
city mains.
The gang of men at once got busy
with their picks and shovels, there
being real danger that the man might
be strangled by the water.
After some desperate work with the
rapidly settling SOIL Ine IlldH WAS re-
leased, considerably the worse for
his share in the accident. No bones
we're broken, however, and it was not
long until the man took his place again
among the workmen.

EAST SHOCKED AT STORIES OF
PRACTICES
Propose to Teach Members Of Pacific
Coast Sect chrlstlsnlty-wouId
Bring Misguided Believers
Back TO Right Living

Reports of the doings OF Holy Roll
ers In Los Angeles. Monrovia, Seattle
and elsewhere on the Pacific coast
have caused CONSERVATION among
eastern mission workers.
Alarmed by stories of religious sects
that believe in human sacrifices, some
ST. Louis women propose to send mis-
slonaries west to convert the Holy
Rollers.
Accounts of the rites of the Holy
Rollers have so horrlfied Mrs. Bertha
Won Porten, 4549 Kennerly avenue, st.
Louis, and a number of quiet, home-
loving friends Of hers that they have
decided to send one of their number
to visit the strange sect and endeavor
to teach It's members Christianity
The Movement Started
Picture to youreslf, IL your imagina-
tion has the strength, meeting of the
Holy Rollers, where men and women
shout frenziedly, draw themselves into
contortions and then roll about the floor
as II they were wild beasts or humans
possessed of demons
Intensity the picture by giving it as
a companion one and which the Holy
Rollers are offering a sacrifice. See a
great fire surrounded by women and
children who hold loved things in their
hands and cast them forth into the
flames as they are moved by the words
of a leader.
See. also, mistily however, the same
flames blazing as If they waited for
more and think of the little children
that are to be their human fuel, If the
reports of Pacific coast papers cor
rectly forecast the future intentions of
this curious sect.
st, Louis tourists bring back a word

ment there.

fy at the court house tonight He Is

peonIe why they should consider him
favorably in that connection.
There is strong reason to believe
that, between Mr.. Page and Judge

from this district will have some diff
ficulty in securing a denomination. 1t
seems to be conceded that Mr. Page
will bring with him to the Cairo con

hanson Randolph and Franklin coun
ties, and that he has strong follow
ing in Perry; and that Judge Herbert
will get part Of the jackson county
delegation and has good chance for
the Pulaski county delegation. This
will insure a majority against Mr.
Smith
That the congressman and his
friends are very much aroused is evi-
dent Strong letters OF endorsement
from Speaker Cannon and Senator
Cullom are published. indicating that

or Yates calls the federal gang" and
It shows also that they fear for him.
II is significant that Mr. Smith has
