At the time OF their marriage, Mr.. VIII

Last August It is alleged Paap and
his associates. who style themselves
Seventh Day Adventists and preach a

the Williams home during the absence
OF Mr.. Williams. After constant effort,
1t Is also alleged. they succeeded in con-
Vertlng Mrs. Williams to their new re-

support Of Rev. Mr.. Pap and his fol-
lowers and their new religion. They also
furnished Mrs. Williams with printed
quotations relating to giving, some Of

Sentiment Gaining Ground.
1.-THE idea Of participation, at least by

it is to be expected that our officials will
further in every way the efforts Of those

that our consular representatives in
America will cooperate fittingly. The

to this end to the suitable government
departments"

ENTIRE FAMILY LOST;
CLOSE TO DEST|TU7|ON
Stranded Here on Way to
Some Unknown Point in
Massachusetts.

Stranded in the first big city they have
ever seen, and unable to tell definitely
where they are from or whittier they are
going, Mrs. Dora Smith and her five
children, temporarily housed at the Flor
ence Crittenton Mission, 218 Sd street
northwest. present one Of the most pa
thetic cases that has come under the OBJ
servation Of those in charge at the mis-
sion for many years.
Mrs. Smith and the children reached
Washington Thursday night with a little
more than IS between themselves and
soul in the city; they had just come to
the end Of the first railroad trip they
had ever made, and they were seeing for
the first time the hustle and hurry Of a
metropolis. And 1t all frightened them.
To the police Mrs. Smith told her story
of fight from an ignorant and brutally
cruel husbands flight toward an I'm
known destination-toward the mother
back yonder in Massachusetts" who.
the tired. frightened woman felt would
not fail them.
None Able to Read.
There are schools back in the Penny
r'ile" region Of Kentucky, but neither
Mrs. Smith nor any Of the children had
ever seen the inside of one. None Of the
family is able to read or write.
That is why Mrs. Smith had kept none
of her mothers letters. and why she is
unable even to tell the name Of the town
or city in the New England state where
that mother lives. All she knows is that
the mother toward whom her instinct di-
rected her lives in Massachusetts,, and
she wants to find her way there to the
haven Of refuge and safety she feels will
be afforded in that mothers home.
Not even the kindiiness of those in
charge at the mission was sufficient to
overcome the frightened timidity Of Mrs.
Smith and the children-three boys and
two girls ranging in age from sixteen
years down to five years. Until some
thing definite can be learned as to the
to reach those in charge at the mission
say they are at a loss as to how to aid
the little group.
Blew Out the Gas.
Last night was the first night the
family had ever slept in a room lighted
by gas, and had it not been for the
vigilance OF an attache OF the mission
who detected the odor Of escaping gas
after the Smiths had retired, the entire
family probably would have been dead
this morning. Mrs. Smith. not know
Ing how to extinguish the light, had
blown out the gas In their room. This
morning, when the mother and her fam
lily were told to battle, none knew how
to enter bathtub. and the mother and
her oldest child, Annie, said they had
never even seen q bathtub.
On the supposition that Mrs. Smiths
mother lives at Ashby, Mass, or q place
Of similar name. the police and the au-
thonties Of the Florence Crittenton Mis-
sion have written to that place. II the
mother is heard from money will be rails
ed to send the family to her..

C. w. PARKER TO HAVE
BIGGEST SHOW ON EARTH

G. w. Parker is planning on a
world-beating amusement. enterprise
combining all his shows and playing
only big cities. In the meantime
the factory at LeavenwOrth is being
greatly enlarged preparatory to in
creasing its capacity for the building
of seven Of the $4,000 type Parker
carry-us-alls simultaneously.
The foundation for this addition,
which is to extend $50 feet north
from the present factory, now is in
place and as it has been possible to
construct only four Of the Parker
machines in the present factory, and
the necessity of building others and
the probability of the capacity hav-
ing to be even further increased in
the near future, made the addition
now building necessary.
Mr.. Parker has practically closed
orders for three carry-us-alls Of the
"fairyland type" which are the kind
which sell from the factory for
$4,000. One of these is to be in
stalled at famous Atlantic coast
watering place, the other is going
to the Pacific coast. >" tlS
