NOTED PRIEST OF
RUSSIA IS DEAD
FATHER JOHN OF CRONSTADT
EXPIRES SUDDENLY
WAS FAMED FOR CRITICISMS OF
THE GOVERNMENT
Late Years of His Life Were CIouded
by I'll Repute of Johnites, on
Whom He Pronounced
Anathema

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. FEATHER
John Of Cronstadt is dead. The noted
priest for some time had been suffer-
ing from chronic dropsy and intestinal
complications, and the end, though sud-
den, was not unexpected.
Father John was born November 80,
1929. AS a priest of the st. Andrew
church at Cronstadt his zeal and devo-
ton drew about him hosts of followers
and attracted the attention of the en-
peror, who constantly befriended him.
A pilgrimage Of the present empress
to the chrine of st. Seraphins, to whom
among pious Russians, was attributed
the birth of the desired heir to the
throne, was undertaken on Father
Johns advice.
The late years Of Father Johns life
were clouded by the i'll repute Of the
sect of Johnites, which was exploited
by an INSCRIPTIONS and immoral group
Of men and women to their great finan-
cial advantage.
The priests eyes were opened to this
only last summer, when he anathe-
matized the false leaders.
Father John was christened John
Serghieff. He was born at ArchangeI
in 1929. His lifelong loyalty to the
state, as well as his outspoken critt-
cism of the government when he
thought it was wrong, and the reputa-
ton acquired in his later years as a
miracle worker, all combined to make
him one of the most striking person
altt1es in Russia. Thousands journeyed
every year to CrOnStadt for the mere
sake of his benediction.

RECEIVERS APPOINTED FOR A.
B. & A. RAILWAY
COMPANY UNABLE TO PAY IN
TEREST ON BONDS
Petition Declares Ii Will Meet Its
Obligations if Given Sufficient
Time-Corporation's In-
terests Extensive

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. Judge Par
dee of the circuit court today appointed
President H. M. Atkinson and Vice
President P. S. Arkwright receivers
for the Atlanta, Birmingham & Allan
tic railroad.
The petition gives as grounds for re-
Questing the receivership that the COM
pany is unable to meet interest due on
its bonds.
1t says the receivership is friendly,
that there is no doubt of the ability of
the company to meet it's obligations if
given sufficient time.
The panic of 1907 is cited as the prin-
cipal reason for the roads present con-
dition.
Holders of bonds of the Atlanta, Biz
mingham & Atlantic railroad in Boston
were notified today Of the appointment
of receivers for that road.
Interest on the bonds was defaulted
yesterday.
The company, which was incor-
porated in Georgia in 1905, controls
several transportation companies in the
south, and also steamboat lines running
from Brunswick, Ga, to New York.
The capital is 100000, and about
S. 130, 900 of an authorized issue of $780,
100000 in bonds are outstanding.
The corporation is largely financed by
Boston interests.
The bonds were underwritten by H.
w. Poor & Co, the Boston and New
York firm which assigned last week.
