Death Recalls Visit Of Madam Vol
Blanthsr to Mexico and the Flu
ror She Created in Local
Church Circles by Her Ac-

John Alexander Dowie, "Elljah H."
died at TAO O'Clock Saturday morning
at Shiloh house, In the Zion City
which he founded.
1t is needless to dwell upon the his
tory Of this man who has received so
much notoriety In the past few years
but the mention Of Zion recalls
the visit to Mexico. several years ago,
ofModam Won Blanther, whose reli-
gious zeal caused several disturbances
in local churches and forced the pas
tors to request her not to attend SER
| vices.
Madam Won Blanther was a hand
some woman of forty who claimed to
be the wife Of a deceased German
nobleman OF one time a prominent
officer In the Kaiser's Army. She
came to Mexico, she said, because the
spirit had moved her and 1t had al
SO dictated that she convert a news
paperman, a doctor and a lawyer.
Mrs. Blanther appeared In print
frequently giving out some startling
and thoroughly interesting inter-
views Of the vicissitudes she had ex-
perienced during her career rs a
Doweite and while teaching the
"triune. She had tales Of many lands
In which she and her husband figured
prominently In all manner OF dare
devil exploits. In fact the story of
her life as she told it, equaled many
OF the popular novels Of adventure
that grace the shelves OF fiction.
Mrs. Blanther had been Ia Mexico
only q few days when she attended
one OF the local churches and when
the pastor asserted a religious opinion
that did not meet with the zionists'
endorsement, she "spoke out In meet
ing'' and challenged him. Requests,
| threats and cajolery could not quiet
her and 1t was necessary to almost
lock, the doors Of the differentchurches
upon this woman.
When the churches refused to allow
her admittance unless she remained
quiet during the worship she blossom
ed forth In the newspapers with q
story of how she had once been attack
ed by some sect and her clothing torn
off and, tied to the end Of a rope,
| dragged through the streets OF a
town. After this final stab she de-
parted from Mexico minus the con-
verts she had sought.

not obtained until Sunday when the

CRIBS WORRY
POLICE BOARD
COMMISSION UNDER HEAVY
CROSS-FIRE
Arrests of Four Women Result in Con-
ference with Mayor to Define
Policy Regarding the
Social Evil

Mayor Harper and the police COM
missioners held secret conference
concerning the red light district situa-
ton last night.
A policy of silence has been main
tanned hitherto, the members prefer
ring to await the developments of pub
lie sentiment in regard to reopening
the cribs before announcing it's policy.
Arrests of four women have brought
matters to a crisis and Chief Kern laid
the facts before the board last night.
Further developments will be made
known after talk with City Attorney
Hewitt.
Commissioners have said privately
that they are between two fires.
Business men around Commercial
street want the women concentrated in
a section off the busy streets and kept
in one neighborhood under surveil-
lance.
The church element opposes this as
being recognition of the social evil.
From other quarters it is argued that
if the women are moved they will scat
ter all over the city beyond the reach of
the police and become a menace to
many locations.
Under the triangular fire the board
declines at present to state its position.
A dozen sets of resolutions and com
munications reached the mayors office
yesterday, mostly from churches, OPP
posing any action by the board recog
nizing the evil.
AS many more letters commend the
administration on the freely spread
rumor that the cribs will be permitted
in a limited sense, in accordance with
recommendation of the police.

Consul Calls Them "Vultures"

The complaint from Italy's represen-
tative here is as follows:
"Chief of Police-The bearer. Falsi-
nelli Giuseppe, and eight other Italians
went to e. H. Crowley's labor agency,
11115 East Second street, Friday morn
ing, March 10, 1907, and were told there
was work for them in San Diego at
$3.50 per day on government work. The
next morning they went to the office
and a man there was represented to
them as the one to take them to San
Diego and put them to work. They
paid Crowley SO each for his commits
sion, $1.25 each for a ticket to San
Diego and SO cents each for his bundle
"a blanket), making in all for the nine
men $3S.75.
"When they reached San Diego the
man that was with them took them to
an office and left them, saying he would
he back soon. After a long absence
he returned and said there was no work
for them there and then he disap-
peared. Four of these men had money
enough TO come back to Los Angeles;
the other five men are left without
means.
"Trustling that you will give this
matter your immediate attention and
that these men can be brought back
from San Diego at once and that all
of them can have their money refund
