Weird Story Of Man Released From
New York Prison Who Claims to
Be Former Respected Citizen Of
Michigan Town.

Niles, Mich.-The first picture shown
herewith is that of George A. Klmmel,
and was taken 13 years ago. The Sec
ond Is that Of Andrew j. White, who
claims to be Kimmel and who came
from Auburn Prison to prove his iden-
tity to Kimmel's family,
George Kimmel was reported to have
died, and his mother and sister tried
to collect $4,000 insurance on his
life. Then the man in the second pic
ture turned up in the Auburn peni'
tentiary and the insurance company Is
trying to substantiate his claim. The
man has given some evidence Of a
knowledge Of Kimmels family and
friends, but his supposed mother says
he has also shown extraordinary ig-
norance of some thing which he should
remember; and she does not recognize
him as her son, though she will not
say he is a fraud without further In
vestigation.
Thirteen years ago George Alfred
Kimmel disappeared from Arkansas
City, where he had been employed In a
bank, though several years before that
he had left his home in Michigan and
had never returned to visit his family.

ZION CITY. Aug. Slight
years ago Zion City was at the
height of its glory. Dowie was
exerting a power such as few re-
ligious leaders of modern times
have ever exerted, and his ecclesi-
astical colony was flourishing
amazingly. Zion City's streets
were crowded. Wealth was pour
ing into the Golfers Of THE Chris
tian Catholic Apostolic Church In
Zion" Strangers, who came to
scott, stood dazzled by the splen-
did pomp of Dowie's religious
pageants.
Now Zion City is but husk.
It's population has shrunk from
over 1000 to 400. It's streets
are quiet and weed-grown. The
paint is peeling from the capitals
of the wooden pillars of Dowie's
administration building.
But this husk of city isn't as
quiet as 1t looks. A bitter strug-
gle Is going forward. The "Theo-

Makes His Defense.
Then the man gave his defense.
Another man, he said, had been
visiting his wife when he was
working In the field. That was
why he took her out in the field
with him. He had to drag her,
he admitted, and he tied her up
with the mules SO he could watch
her.
He first seized her, he said,
when he saw her going away with
the man.
When Choate denied striking
his wife one of his small SONS

call themselves, and the "Inde-
pendents" or insurgents against
Voliva's rule, are making Zion a
battlefield. Also there are nearly
half a dozen different congrega-
lions of the Church of Zion, each
claiming to be the only original.
To say nothing of few Metho-
dists who have gotten foothold
in Zion.
There was excitement to spare
when, after campaign that came
near ending in riot, the issue of
the local election was found to
hang on one or two votes. That
was after the insurgents" had
been In control for two years.
First the Voliva crowd had every
thing but the city attorney. Then
the board of elections reconsid-
|ered the election, and threw out,
as illegally marked, two theocratic
ballots and one independent.
That threw everything to the
independents.
Since then there has been a
continuous legal fight for control.
The insurgents are in deadly
earnest. They charge Voliva is a
despot. They want to separate
the church and the state in Zion.
And they want to separate Voliva
from both church and state.

and said to Alice Freeman Palmer

Mrs. Palmer, you are always Sc

Il will dear, said the leader of her
sex. Il will give you three simple
rules:
The first is this: Commit something
to memory every day. something good
1t needn't be much; three or four words
will do. Just a pretty bit of poem or a
bible verse.
The second rule is: Look for some
thing pretty every day; and dent skip
4 day, or it won't work.
NY third is-now don't skip day;
Do something for somebody every day!
That is all there is to it. dear"
