Vo1iva, of Zion City,
Headed for Atlanta
In Warfare on Devil
Dowie's Successor Predicts This
City Will Be Wiped Out
Unless It Reforms.

NEW ORLEANS, LA, Oct. 25.-Pre-
dieting that within ten years, perhaps
sooner, Atlanta, New Orleans and all
other wicked cities, would be wiped
from the map by earthquakes, cyclones,
volcanoes, tidal waves or other disas-
ters, Wilder Voliva, successor to John
Alexander Dowie, plenipotentiary ruler
of Zion City, triumphantly entered New
Orleans today. He is on tour of the
United States. and it Is probable that
he will go to Atlanta in a few days to
try to Gust the devil and his wicked
aids. He admits that he has a hard job
ahead, but he is confident that with the
will of God he will put the theaters.
dance halls and other amusement places
out of business.
Voliva brands oysters and swine as
scavengers of the earth and sea. Con-
sequently he condemns them. Although
worth about 100000, Voliva. once a
poor lawyer in Chicago, started out
with SO cents when he succeeded Dowie.
Unlike Dowie, Voliva has no whiskers.
On his private train he carries his own
barber valet and other attendants Yet,
he declares that he never spends more
than 1925 a month for his family and
himself.
Voliva speaks here tonight and prob
ably Sunday. He will announce def
nitely tomorrow whether or not he goes
to Atlanta.

Now His Aunt, Mrs. William K.
Vanderbilt, Will Be Called on
to Pay Wager.

NEW YORK. Oct 25-It looks very
much as if Mrs. w. K. Vanderbilt, Jr.
would be called upon soon to pay debt
of honor to her young nephew, Hermann
Oelrichs. The debt is a large one-some
say half million dollars was the amount
of the wager. But it was such a wager
that Mrs. Vanderbilt in losing it, will
consider that she has won.
A few years ago as young Oelrichs was
nearing the age when boys regard cigar
cites as the insignia of manhood. his aunt
challenged him to lay part of his future
fortune against a similar part of hers on
the proposition that he would not smoke or
touch intoxicants of any kind until he
should reach his majority
VIII Be of Age Next Month.
He accepted the challenge, and the time
of settlement will arrive with his twenty
first birthday next month.
Thus has gambling been turned into
a virtue to conquer other evils.
Mrs. Vanderbilt may well be proud of
her losses. Her nephew, who is a chum
OF Vincent Aston and a student in the law
school If Columbia, has been for years the
model youth of Newport and New York
society. And he has been an example to
the other fellows in proving that a boy
can shun bad habits without being a mol
lycoddle.
None of his set is farther from being a
mollycoddle than Oelrichs. He is one of
the most daring automobilists in the
country, a clever boxer and fencer, and
has won trophies at golf and tennis.
A Young Chesterfield
Moreover he is regarded as young
Chesterfield in manner and dress. He at
tends all the smartest functions of sum
mer and winter, and is already popular
in society abroad
Two years ago he and Vincent Aston
had an auto race on the sand of the
second beach at Newport. Oelrichs' car
caught fire, but he kept going till he had
won the race and then had to drive into
the ocean to put out the fire.
Already possessed of a considerable for
tune he viii receive an immense one from
his mother on the day when he shall wed.
If he has shown particular attention to
any of the young women of society it has
been to Miss Margaret f. Andrews, the
only daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul A.
Andrews, OF Newport.

VIII be made this fall He declared
that the Chamber Of Commerce would
be behind the movement and asked the
cooperation of the women's clubs.
Dr. Mcfarland said. during his
speech, that In fifteen years the center
OF the city would be shifted II the pres
ent congestion is not relieved Wider
streets and grouping of public build
ings were the two things he urged as
being primarily important, while other
reforms could follow.
Atlanta has not had one-fourth the
growth she would have had during the
past ten years If city plan had been
put In force" he declared, and pointed
to Detroit as an example of what q
modernly planned city can do. BUY

At the Auditorium last night DR.. Nc
Farland showed by stereoptfcon views
the results to be obtained by city
plan. Views of many best planned
cities were given. and then some views
Of sections of Atlanta were shown. The
contrast was startling. He declared
that 1t was impossible for him to out

| tician and not surgeon.
President Moore this morning said
! that a meeting Of representative bust
ness men and women of the city would
be called at an early date to draw up q
petition to council asking them to OBJ

| merce will be behind such a movement
and the funds will be obtained by pub

HOUSEWIVES BELIEVE
COLD STORAGE EGGS
WILL BE SUBSTITUTED

No little anxiety has been manifested
by several Atlanta women since the
publication in The Georgian of the
story regarding the probable rise in the
price of fresh country eggs.
This anxiety comes as a result of
their fear that the possible famine in
good eggs will result in cold storage
eggs being sold to them for the real
country article fresh from the hens.
But their fears are groundless, pro-
Viding Atlanta's ordinance covering
this feature is enforced.
When Mayor Robert F. Maddox held
forth in the city hall in 1910 an ordi-
nance was passed requiring that eggs
which were cold storage eggs should be
so marked and a heavy penalty was
provided for those not complying with
the law.
So all anxious housekeepers have to
do is to ask specifically whether or not
eggs Offered them are Of the cold stor-
age or country variety. If they are
imposed upon by any dealer the police
can be asked to do the rest.

ATLANTA IS Bull
FOR OK CARTS,
SAYS EXPERT
DR.. Mcfarland Declares City's
Poor WretChedIy Housed.
Lights Waste Money.

Atlanta is wrong from beginning to
end; it was started wrong and the sys-
tenn of management IS almost criminal
in its waste" said ]. Horace McFar-
land, president of the American Civic
association, after he had finished a tour
of inspection Of the city.
The chief faults of Atlanta, accord
ing to Mr.. Mcfarland, are:
Congestion of traffic due to incorrect
laying out Of streets.
No grouping of public buildings so as
to improve efficiency of each and make
them mutual aids.
Lack of supervision of street system.
Waste Of money in ornamental light
ing
Poor housing of the poorer classes.
! Smoke worse than Pittsburg
The streets We're built for oxcarts
so years ago and have never been re-
built to meet the present demands" he
said. THE entire city needs laying out
anew In many places you have five
big arc lights where but three are need
| ed, while in others you have one where
| three are needed. You have spent too
much on ornamental lighting. Your

Louie" Rosenberg, Whitley" Lewis and
"Dago Frank" Cirofici, now under in
dictment for murder in the first de-
gree. had already sent word to District
Attorney Whitman that they were WILL
ing to plead guilty to second degree
murder
This communication to the district
attorney was not made by counsel for
the gunner, but made Its way to the
office Of the district attorney in the sub
terranean fashion used by prisoners In
the Tombs. Such information often
reaches the district attorney before 1t
does the prisoners own counsel.
There was every indication, however.
that Mr.. Whitman would refuse second
degree pleas from any of the gunner
In any case, however, none of the gun
men will be brought to trial next. Dos

Death Threat
Terrifes Schepp.

Sam Schepps, the gambler whose
story, with those of Vallon, Rose and
Weber, convicted Lieutenant Becker,
received death threat over the tele-
phone today because Of the part he
played in the Becker trial Some one
called up the West Side station and ex-
planned that Bernard Sander. Schepps'
lawyer, would like to speak to him.
When Schepps answered, he received
the following message over the wire:
You may get turned out of the West
Side prison today, but If you do you'll
never leave the court room alive"
Schepps dropped the receiver in ter
ror.
They'll get mel" he cried. Later
when Schepps told Judge Golf of the
threats the judge told District Attorney
Whitman to place a special guard over
Schepps.
Immediately after breakfast. the four

The trial of the gunner separately
since they have asked for separate
trials and, under the law must be grant
ed that privilege, will follow quickly
upon the disposal of the Davidson case.
The latter is not expected to occupy the
special term under Justice Golf very
long. since there are eyewitnesses of
the shooting of Zelig, and Davidson can
easily be identified.
"All the gunner now under indict-
ment will be brought to trial as rap
idly as possible" declared District At
torney Whitman. "They have asked for
separate trials. This will of necessity
prolong the case. However, we shall
proceed with all diligence.
"All the gunner will be brought be-
fore Justice Goff. 1t was to dispose of
all the cases growing out of the muir
der Of Rosenthal that this extraordinary
session of the supreme court was con-
vened."
The district attorney said that Da-
wilson would have to be disposed Of
first before any decision could be reach
ed as to which of the gunner would be
tried first for murder.
