ments; Is prospective passengers fell

The latest addition is the fourth, and with
its appearance the bottom Of the ocean has
risen until channels formerly sufficiently
large for the passage Of ships are now
dry land. The Makushin volcano was
threatening for six hours. Ashes, heavily
impregnated with sulphur, fell to a depth
Of three-eighths of an inch.
The mountain Is twenty-five miles from

DR., ]. I. Boswell. president OF the Tax

TT Is not to destroy the charter. There
are good features In it which ought to be
retained. The petitioners are willing that
all the rulers shall be members Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church. The purpose
Is to amend the charter 50 that the body
Of taxpayers, about LOCO strong, shall have
representation in the body which governs
and taxes them. Why should they not
have? Why argue such a matter before
the American public? The claim for rep
~resentatfon rests on Justice and equity, and
should be promptly granted"

much disappointment.

POSTERS CENSORED
CHURCH PEOPLE COMPEL
POLICE ACTION.
No Indecency to Be Paraded on Jersey
City Billboards-Holy Name Soci-
ety's Crusade Brings Results.

JERSEY CITY, Sept. 26.-Members OF
st. Bridget's Holy Name Society, led by
their spiritual adviser, the Rev. Father
Murphy, last night began a crusade
against indecent theatrical posters, and
gave the police department such sharp
thrusts that Chief of Police Monahan
got very busy aud fastened to join In
the war on this Form of evil.
The Objectionable theatrical posters
have been on view at various bill
boards in his city for some days. They
were intended to advertise the per-
formances at a local theatre.
People Who saw these posters go up
in different parts of the city wondered
when the police authorities would act
in the matter, but there seemed to be
no attempt to stop the exhibition until
the Holy Name Society of st. Bridget's
Church decided that the time had ar
rived to act.
The society aims at the suppression
of profanity Inc impurity. 1t is par
ticularly anxious to protect the rising
generation in its own parish.
The climax came when h bill poster
men tackled up on the signboard almost
opposite st. Bridget's Church large pic
lures of a gay woman sitting on an
elderly mans lap and patting him on
his bald e There were several very
suggestive FEATURES ABOUT the picture.
The Holy Name Society officers ordered
printed on a number Of large sheets of
paper this inscription:
I'VE ave protested against the exhi-
bition of such vile pictures until our
patience has almost been exhausted"
Thu strips of paper with this inscrip-
ton were posted over the alleged indecent
pictures.
The unusual inscription attracted the
attention Of many passersby and caused
comment.
st. Bridget's parish is the parish to
which Mayor Pagan belongs, and 1t
wasn't long before the Mayors friends
were hearing of the thrust at the Mayors
police department, which had failed to
suppress these indecent pictures.
The chief Of police said: II received q
complaint against the indecent posters
from a member of the police force. I de-
cided to act at once. 1 communicated
with the bill poster, Mr.. O'Mealia, and
told him that hereafter he must submit
all theatrical bill posters to the chief oil
police for inspection before they are
posted up. Orders to this effect were is
sued some time ago, but they have beer
forgotten evidently by the bill posters
1 shall insist that this rule be strictly
enforced hereafter"

DOWIE'S SUCCESSOR.
voliva Says He Cannot Get Land in New
Mexico for Colony.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, who successfully grasped the
reins of government OF Zion City from
the hands of John Alexander Dowie,
and who expected to reign in his stead
after the death of Dowie, last night
announced to 1000 of his followers
that he had given up the fight. At
the same time, he declared hat he had
lost the options upon the land in New
Mexico, where he expected to found a
new colony, but would buy property
adjacent to Zion City and found the
new colony there.
He said that he had received formal
notice from John C. Hately, the re-
ceiver OF Zion City. to vacate the prem
Uses which he has used as offices and
the publication plant of his official
paper within 30 days. He said that he
would get out and would not pay an
other dollar to the receiver.
No explanation of how he lost the
options on the lands in New Mexico
was vouched by Voliva. 1t was gen.
orally understood that he had failed to
receive the financial backing he had
expected.
