LEBKUECHER AND
ACKERMAN SAIL ON
KNOWLEDGE QUEST
Sewerage Commissioners Will
Get Pointers in Europe for
Possible Application Here.

Former Mayor julius A. Lebkuecher,
president of the Passaic Valley Sewer
age Commission, sailed today for Eu-
rope on the steamer New York, of the
line, accompanied by Will
lam S. Alderman, of Paterson, an
other member of the Sewerage Board.
They will spend foul weeks studying
sewage disposal works in various coun-
tries of Europe, at their own expense,
with the purpose of applying the
knowledge they acquire in the opera
ton of the Passaic Valley trunk sewer.
In the plans of the Passaic trunk
sewer it is contemplated now to lis
charge the sewage into New York Bay,
but to get a fall great enough from
Newark to New York Bay it will be
necessary to construct a pumping sta
ton some place on the Newark
meadows.
At this plant it may be possible to
screen the sewage, and it is believed
that this can be done at small expense.
In Europe the sewage is utilized for
fertilizing purposes and produces a
good income.

HANG Me-; I'll
Be RESURRECTED,'
PROPHET" SAYS
Arkansan Courted Execution to
Prove He Was Elijah
the Third.
WOMAN SCHEMED WITH
HIM SO HE MIGHT DIE
Changes First Charge, Which ALI
but Costs Elijah Skaggs's
Life.

FORT SMITH, Ark, June 13.-Elijah
Skaggs, who claims that he is the re-
incarnation of the prophet Elijah,
wants to be legally hanged so that he
can demonstrate that he will rise from
the dead on the third day.
Skaggs took a peculiar course to
bring about his execution, or crucifica-
ton, as he calls it, but the scheme
failed, as the authorities concluded
that If he was really the prophet
Elijah 1t would be easier for him to
liberate himself from prison than to
raise himself from the dead.
Mrs. Margaret Irene Taylor, of Dali
las, Tex, one of his disciples, charged
Skaggs with assault. Skaggs was in
dicted and today pleaded guilty and
said he was ready to pay the penalty
by being hanged.
Mrs. Taylor confessed thai she had
perjured herself at the preliminary
hearing, that the attack was only
spiritual" and that she had arranged
with Skaggs to make the complaint
and swear that 1t was true, so that he
could be hanged and then demonstrate
his real identity as Elijah the prophet
by resurrecting himself.
Mrs. Taylor was arrested for perjury,
and Skaggs then said he would change
his plea to not guilty, as he under
stood that it was planned to send him
to prison.
Those who know Skaggs thoroughly
believe that he would have permitted
himself to be hanged, so confident is he
of his identity as the prophet Elijah.
The late Alexander Dowie, of Zion
City, ILL.,, claimed to be Elijah the
Third.
