MEXICAN DISAPPEARS.
F aiIs to Claim Diamond Collar and
Bracelet Worth $12,120.

New York. June 10.-The customs au-
thorities have on their hands a dia-
mond collar and bracelet appraised at
$12, 100 which the owner apparently did
not value sufficiently to claim. - The
jewelry was seized on April "a. when
Celso del Villar, a wealthy Mexican,
who had arrived from Havana on the
steamer MORO Castle, in company with
n weil-known Mexican actress, failed
to declare it. Villar was paroled in
the custody of a representative of the
Mexican consul, but when he was
wanted today could not be found.
A special agent of the Treasury De-
nartment was searching for del Villar
to learn why. on the testimony of his
companion that she was not his wife,
he should not be deported. Del Villar
was traced to the Grand Central Sta
ton, where it was learned that he had
bought two tickets for Montreal.

Members Of Congregation
Angry at Bishop Of London'
Do Not Take Kindly to His
toric Pageants He Arranged.
Several Thousand Actors to Give
History Of Church by TabIeaux.

London, June 10-The bishop OF
London, Right Rev. Arthur Winning
ton Ingram was denounced as a traitor
during service in ST. Ethelreds
church, a parish in his own diocese,
today The OccasiOns was a celebra-
ton of the Eucharist as preliminary
to the Anglican church pageant, which
was opened on the grounds of Fulham
palace, the residence of DIR. Ingram,
overlooking the Thames at Putney.
When the bishop appeared and took
part in the service, followers of John
Kensit, president of the Anti-Ritualis-
tic League, who We're in the congrega-
ton rose and protested against the
bishop appearing in "Popish pagean-
try and denounced him as q traitor
to the Anglican church. The police
interfered and dispersed the Kensites.
The pageant will consist of the rem
dering in outdoor setting of a series
of spectacular representations of cpl
sodes of church history. The pageant,
which is under the patronage of the
Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Archbishop of York, was. organized
with the idea OF popularizing the his
tory of the church, affording instruction
to the masses, and incidentally bring
ing financial assistance to various
state charities. The presentations will
be given at p. NJ, and p M, for
six days. The history of the church,
from the earliest times down to the
present, will be depicted by a body of
about 1000 amateur actors and actress
es. The palace grounds are Splendidly
adapted to this purpose, and the rem
dering of various scenes, with the old
palace as a background and the char
acters dressed in the costumes of the
period, will be realistic.
The first performance this afternoon
opened with a prelude showing the
founders of the church. This was fol-
lowed by 20 scenes portraying out
standing events in the life of the
church, such as the publication of the
edict of Constantine in 313, the ar
rival in Great Britain Of Augustine,
597, the appointing of William /, in
1866, the granting of the Great Charter
in 1915, the trial of Wyck1iffe in 1875,
the conservation of Parker in 1859 and
the acquittal of the seven bishops in
1888. The performance will close with
a tabeau representing the spread of
the church's missions throughout the
world
The 1000 participants have been
drilling for their work for six months
past. The opening spectacle was
somewhat marred by rain.

HUSBAND LEAVES HIS FAMILY
Deserted Woman with Pa
rents to F%Rirbury, Neb,

CEDAR FALLS, Ia, April 1.-(Special)
There has been much excitement during
the past few days in this city because of
the disappearance OF Clinton Munger, who
sold his barber shop about a week ago
and went, as he announced, to Oelwein
on account of the serious illness of his
father. A few days later a letter came
to Mrs. Munger from her husband, en-
closing a check for 800 and saying that
he never wanted to see her again.
In the meantime her mother had come
from Fairburk, Neb., TO be with her
daughter, and last night left here with
Mrs, Munger and the 1-year-old baby,
taking their household effects, and the
deserted wife will live for the present
with her parents in the Nebraska home.
The cause of this estrangemen is as
signed to several reasons, one being that
the barber became infatuated with a pretty
girl last summer during the absence OF his
family on a visit to her parents. The
whole matter is the sensation of the city,
and much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Nun
ger.

Adjournment for nay Taken Pendina
a Motion to Direct Committee
20 Report within Two
Days.

DIES MONIES, April Constitutional
prohibition for the state Of Iowa was
probably postponed. II not defeated perma-
nently, for two years by the action Of
the state senate this afternoon in voting
down a motion to take up the question.
The vote stood twenty-six against TO TWEEN
ty-one for. The prohibltionists admit
their defeat and declare there is no hope
OF reviving the matter during the ten re-
naming days Of the session of the Iowa
legislature. Today's action followed that
OF the committee on constitutional amend
ments in unanimously tabling the resolu-
ton and thus refusing to report II to
the senate.
Senator Proudfoot Of Warren county.
leader OF the prohioitionists in the senate,
presented the motion for taking II from
the hands Of the committee and delivered
a speech of two hours length today upon
the issues involved. He commended that
the opposition Of constitutional prohibit
uon In basing its claims that the people
could vote for a constitutional conven-
ton under the laws OF the state at the
next annual election and thus secure con-
stitutional prohibition was merely a SUBJ
terfuge The action OF the senate, how
ever, was due largely to the fact that
under the constitution OF Iowa the cues
ton Of revision of the constitution must
be submitted to the people once In ten
years. The question of revision will be
placed upon the ballot in November. 1911.
and IL was constantly argued thai the peo-
pie would have eventually 8 chance to
elect delegates to the constitutional con-
vention favorable to prohibition II they
decided to revise the constitution.
The agitation for a prohlbitory amend
ment started with the opening OF the ses-
sion of the Legislature and the resolution
calling for the same passed the house by
a large majority.
During the debate in the legislature upon
the resolution representatives OF tho Ma
tioral Prohibition league, the civic bodies
in the state and from the various church
organizations have been heard on one side
of the question or the other. Prohibitionists
made the threat frequently that they would
carry the subject to the voters before the
polls in the next campaign and indications
point that Iowa will soon have an active
prohibition issue for the electors TO decide.
Later in the day the matter was re-
opened by a motion by Clarkson. demo-
crat, asking the committee to make a re-
port in two days on this resolution. The
senate adjourned with this motion pending.
