WAR OF RIVAL CULTS

[ United Press Leased Wire Service.
KIEFF, Russia, Oct. 17-Vera Che
beryak, continuing her amazing story
of bribery in connection with the
ritual murder" was on the stand again
today in the Bells trial. She told of
more small fortunes offered her by
newspaper men, Russian officials, sec
ret police and attorneys for the de-
tense II she would tell the world that
she killed Andrew Yushinsky.
The Cheberyak woman has been
notorious in the Beilis neighborhood
for several years and II her stories
made any impression on the high court,
the judges did not show signs OF it.
Mendel Bells, the defendant, is the
most insignificant character in the
whole trial. His name was barely men
toned today and some days he does
not figure at all in the stenographic
record. The case has become war Of
rival cults.
He Found the Body.
OMAHA, Neb, Oct. 17.-Julias

man to reach the body OF Andrusha
Yushinsky, the slain Russian boy
whose killing and the ensuing charges
Of ritual murder" against the JeSs

tinents. Chorney was arrested with
Mendel BELLS and held In Jail sil
days, then released, 1t evidently hay
ing been determined that Bells wa
the most likely person to bear the
brunt of the charges.
At the time of the killing Chorney
was employed in a brick factory as
foreman. On the day of the murder
some boys who were first to find the
body rushed to the factory and told
their story. Chorney went to verify
it and came upon the mutilated body
of the boy. Chorney throws new ligh,
upon the arrest of Bells and he be
lieves the real details have not YET
been brought out, Bells as has beer
reported was arrested six maaths aft
er the crime near the time OF the
visit of the czar to Kieff. Bells lived
near Vera Cheberyak, receiver o
stolen goods, and wife of leader Of
thieves, who stood in with the Kfef
police. The woman became angered
at Bells and said to him: 'I'll gel
even with you"
She knew that Bells was the baker
of sacred bread used byAthe Jews a.

STEAMER "FRANKIt' At

SINKS CHRISTMAS DAY WHILE
TIED UP TO THE WHARF
At Smyrna Landing-Had Returned the
Night Before From Philadelphia
Dis covered in Time to Save Cargo

Night Before From Philadelphia
Dis covered in Time to Save Cargo
Steamer frankie, the well-knOwn
freight steamer, of the Smyrna
Steamboat Company, went to the bot
tom while tied to her wharf at Smyr-
ma Landing, Christmas Day, from
causes the officers and authorities are
unable to understand. The Frankie"
left pier Arch street wharf, Phila-
delphla, at 2.3O Christmas Eve,
with light cargo, arriving at Smyr-
ma Landing at IL o'clock that even
ing. When Captain Lewis and his
crew left the boat everything was
apparently right and they went off
on their Christmas holiday with a
feeling that all was we'll until they
should return. The next day, shortly
after dinner Mr.. Emory Voss hap
pened to stroll toward the wharf
when to his utter dismay he noticed
the ''Frankie" sinking. Calling help,
all he could find, a rush was made to
save what little cargo was on the boat
and before she sank, practically every
thing was gotten off. Fortunately
the heavy freight rush for the holi-
days was over and the trip down on
Xmas Eve was the lightest it had
been all season. The FRANKIE" now
lays at the bottom of Smyrna River,
with her decks submerged. Manager
Frank S. Malcom took the matter up
at once with the Home Insurance
Company in which company the
frankie" is insured. The Insur
ance Company let out the contract to
the Bartlett Wrecking Company of who
have arrived on the scene and will
raise the FRANKIE" and determine
the cause of her springing a leak. She
will be towed to the shipyard for re-
pairs With the close of its Decem-
Der schedule, steamer frankie was to
have been laid up for the winter
months, so the accident happening SC
close to the lifting of the schedule,
was another fortunate thing for the
company. MIR. Malcom says oul
local Steamboat COmpany's loss will
be comparatively slight.

pated Sunday, at the re-opening of
the Methodist Episcopal Church at
Wyoming, Del. The pretty remodeled
church is located on one of the prin-

dozen building lots. For some years
the people have desired to enlarge and
improve their church and shortly
after the appointment of the Rev. H.

getIc young minister, the work was
begun. The building was moved
nearer the street and placed on a
corner beside which is the parsonage.

ment, in which is placed a splendid
heater that is giving entire satisfac-
tion; beneath the storage room is
a department to be finished for hold
ing suppers and entertainments. The
interior and exterior of the parsonage
have been improved. Sunday was a
great day-Rev. John Krantz, the popu-
lar and unique money getter, was in
charge and right nobly did he work
the entire day. The amount asked
was 81, 900, and when the evening
service closed. SO, 500 had been pal
and pledged; the balance will be
taken care of by the trustees, who
have some lots they desire to sell.
The musical program was one of the
special features, Mr.. l. R. Jackson ir
charge and Miss jackson at the organ.
A large chorus choir entirely filled
the organ loft and beautifully sang
the church music. Solo work by Mis-:
Wallace, of Philadelphia, and Miss
Lynch of Georgetown, and others
mixed quartette of home talent made
a fine program. The pastor was as
sisted by Rev. w. F. Dawson, pasto
of Camden, and Rev. DR.. R. K
Stephenson, District Superintendent
Friends from Dover and Camden gave
their presence and their money, Cam
den closing their church in the even

and successful day for Wyoming

At the regular meeting of Smyrna
Town Council Saturday evening, post
poned from the night before, the or
dinance prepared by James H. Hughes,
Eos, of Dover, attorney for Council,
in the matter of giving certain gas
rights and privileges to Joseph Smith
ers, proprietor of the Smyrna Gas
Works, was read and after discussion,
was held over until an adjourned
meeting to be held Friday evening
next, January 3rd, to allow the citi-
zens of Smyrna an opportunity to con-
suit with their representatives in
Council as to the advisability of the
Town of Smyrna purchasing the gas
plant of Mr. Smithers and operating
it in connection with the electric light
plant. Charles H. LeFevre, Esq,
attorney for Mr.. Smithers, was pres
ent and answered and debated ques-
tions with Council until a late hour
All members were present except JOS
eph H. Wright. The new ordinance

essary equipment and to lay pipes and
conduits, subject to the supervision
and direction of Town Council, after
a permit is applied for and taken out
in accordance with the rules and reg.
ulation of said Town of Smyrna. The
passing of the ordinance, however,
was held up for reason above stated
and because of the fact that the Leg.
islture soon to meet, could act on the
matter of giving Smyrna the right tt
borrow money and vote on the ques
tion of purchasing said plant. Som
members of Council are of the opinion
the opportunity is ripe for Smyrna t.
buy, but all members feel that if any
thing is to be done, some expression
should come from the property own
ers. The meeting next Friday night
at 8 o'clock, is for this purpose.

Awakening of the Rose" and '"Tis
