GREAT COLLECTION TAKEN
Overseer Voliva Is In Possession
Again at Zion City

Chicago, July 19.-Silver coins and
bills a foot and half deep were
thrown into tri-colored barrel placed
before the pulpit at Zion City taber-
nacle by the followers of Wilbur
Voliva, general overseer of the
Christian Catholic Apostolic Church of
Zion and successor to John A Dowie,
who marched over the north shore city
and took formal possession of the
buildings which again came into their
control through the action of the fed
eral court dissolving the receiver
ship.
1t was like a revival of the old days
of Dowie. The call for the free will
offering preceded a march about the
city, and thousands of men, women
and children filed past the barrel that
stood before the pulpit and cast there
in their offerings, ranging from cent
pieces to $40 bills.

Montreal, July 10. Conductors and

Der of $500 obeyed an automatic
strike order at $50 o'clock last night.
On Sunday, when the members of
the strike committee left here, each
man carried a sealed envelope to be
opened at that hour calling strike
unless a telegram had previously
been received which, upon COMPARE
son with a copy enclosed in the en-
velope, stated otherwise. No such
telegram was sent and the strike be-
came effective at $50.
Under the terms of the strike or
der trains which began their runs be-
fore $3.50 were to be taken through to
the terminal by the men in charge.
After that the company was expected
to look after its own interests.
President Hays of the Grand Trunk
had this to say of the situation:
I'VE have done the best we can,
having regard to the interests of the
shareholders and of the men them
selves. We have offered substantial
increases in wages. For instance, We
give conductors between Montreal and
Portland an increase from $110 to
$685. between Montreal and Brock
vile from $50 to $40 a month; be-
tween Montreal and Toronto from s110
to $40, and baggagemen from $40 to

to $50.
ION mileage rates conductors of
trips are to be raised from
2 80 to 8. SO cents a mile, and brake
men from 100 to 2.25 cents.

Body Of Long Missing wife of

HEAD BATTERED WITH CLUB

Effort to Hasten Destruction of Re-

Iime-London Police Believe Sup
posed Murderer Is on Steamer
Bound For New York With a WON
an Disguised as a Boy
New York, July ia cable dis
patch received at police headquarters
from Scotland Yard, London, asks
that all incoming steamships be
watched for DR.. Hawley H. Crippen,
an American, who is charged with the
murder of his American wife. Belle
Gilmore, music hall actress. Scot
land Yard has started a worldwide
hunt for Crippen.
Mrs. Crippen disappeared last Feb
ruary, and her body has Just been
found buried under the cement floor
of the house the Crippens occupied
at 80 Hilltop Crescent, Islington, a
suburb of London.
The autopsy shows that Mrs. Grip
pens head had been beaten in with a
club. There were many stab wounds
on the body, but apparently they had
been made after death to hasten the
destruction of the body by quick
lime.
Mrs. Crippen was born in Brooklyn
and had relatives living there. Grip
pen was born In Coldwater, Mich, so
years ago, and was graduated from
medical college in Indiana. They were
married in this city about fifteen years
ago and were well known here and in
Philadelphia.
Crippen was the London agent for
the Munyon Remedy company of Phil
adelphia, the Dean Drug company and
the DR.. Ent Institution, a Paris con-
Germ making a speciality of treating the
deaf.
The Scotland Yard detectives be-
lieve that Crippen is on his way to
New York on a steamship that sailed
from England last Saturday. He
dropped out of sight last Friday night.
There is another woman in the case,
and she is with him.
The woman is described in the Scot
land Yard dispatches as Ethel c. Le-
neve. She is posing as the wife OF
Crippen. She was Crippen's type
writer in his London Office in New Ok
ford street.
Mrs. Leneve is of French birth, but
was reared in London. She is q years
years old and very good looking. From |
information they have gathered the |
Scotland Yard men believe that she is !
disguised as a boy.
The assumption is based upon the |
fact that Crippen bought boys suit /
shortly before he disappeared. Grip
pen himself is small OF staure and /
slight of build. He has scant sandy
hair. fresh complexion and at the
time of his disappearance wore a long
which doubtless has been
cut of ere this.
A formal charge of murder and mu-
.ilation has been made against Grip
pen by the Scotland Yard authorities.
There will be no difficulty about ex-
raditing him n he is caught.

AMERICAN SPORT

boy, is making only fair progress in
this country. There are few games
more worth watching OF playing, and
yet that II maintains an existence in

Of fewer clubs than can be counted on
the fingers OF both hands, and few
of the smaller universities and colleges.
BE it said TO the credit OF John Hop
kins, Stevens Institute, Hobart college.
Lehieh and Swarthmore that their
athletic authorities consider IT a ma
ior not a minor sport, and foster It in
every possible way.
At the larger universities the games
foothold Is precarious, II is almost al
ways in financial difficulties. and it is
diflicult TO get men To come out for
the team The crowds that attend the
games are small, although the element
of modified personnel physical combat
supposed always To attract the under
graduate--is marked. It is I'm no sense
a gentle game, but IL boasts OF no mass
plays. and intentional foul play Is easy
to detect. dt is what the English would
call going game, in that there is
action all the time. or combination
play there Is no end, and for intricacy
OF tactics and subimated team work
always at high speed-it has no SUI
perior.
Another advantage is the absence OF
the weight qualification. The imple-
ments of the game are comparatively
inexpensive, and a uniformed team can
be put in the field that would hardly
deplete the finances of a school ath-
leuc association. II would cost far
less than a baseball or football team,
and although n high degree of skill
may be attained, there Is a chance for
the average boy Ia make the team
a better chance than in baseball or
football Yet the game requires all the
mental qualifications demanded OF the
football or baseball player-not for
getting a high order of courage. and
spirit of clean sportmanship.
