MOTHER ELINOR'S FLIGHT
Claim That the Notorious Diss de Bar,
Criminal Of international Fame, Did
Couldn't Face the Charge.

II Mother" Elinor l.. Mason and heI
private secretary, David Livingstone
Mackay, of Windsor and Detroit, are
supposed to have left Windsor about
midnight Sunday night. On Monday
Alfred Staddon, treasurer of the board
OF trustees, gave out a formal state.
ment for the colony. renouncing the
woman as the spiritual leader of the
Flying Rollers and accepting Prince
Michael's designation of her as an
impostor.
Mother" Elinor, cornered by pub.
licity, insisted that she was as she
represented herself and as the creden-
tials, obtained from Prince Mike, rep
resented her to be, but when the show
down came, she slipped away between
two days. Mr.. Mackay, who the other
Flying Rollers charitably declare was
her dupe, not her accomplice, also dis
appeared
That she is Diss de Bar. Ec'th Lo-
leta Jackson Vera Ava, Edith Murray,
one of the most notorious Of women
crooks, the Flying Rollers will not ad-
init; they are reserving this for an
other formal statement, If they find 1t
to be true.
Mother" Elinor left Detroit and
Windsor three weeks ago, Immediately
on receipt of a statement from Prince
Michael, which was also mailed in
duplicate to numerous members of the
colony, declaring her TO be fraud
and crook. She did not go far away,
as she did not have the money.
Meanwhile she was in daily COM
munication with ID. l.. Mackay by
wire. telephone and mail when the
trustees put IL up TO her personal
representative that she must meet
and refute the charges in. detail, she
dropped into Windsor with a show of
boldness.
J Saturday night the seven trustees
gathered about her.
You must meet these serious
charges and refute them or we shah
renounce you as our leader" they de-
clared to her.
The woman was not in the least
abashed
II deny them ALL" she shouted and
rolled her eyes and invoked divine
to show her author
ity to rule the Flying Rollers, hut all
her generalities and all her unan-
swered appeals TO high heaven fell on
deaf ears. They demanded proofs,
and proofs were not forthcoming.
The meeting Saturday night was
far from satisfactory, and now the
question is: Where's Mother" Elinor?
She had promised TO meet the news
paper men Monday and refute the
charges against her. but could not be
found. Now she is repudiated by the
Rollers.

When the two white men and the

off the train and ran east. Deputy
