Say Flying Rollers of the Marriage
Vow--U. s. { % Investigate.

Benton Harbor, Mich, Dec. 22.-
One OF the cardinal doctrines of the
Isfaelite House of David. also known
as Flying Rollers" Is that marriage
is a mortal sin.
Four years ago this doctrine was
suspended temporarily for the benefit
OF a large flock of young men and
women in the House of David colony
who desired to marry. From that
time on, ii Is said. Benjamin Purnell,
known to the members of the cult
simply as Benjamin." the spiritual
head of the Israelites, frequently has
suspended the dogma and permitted
marriages among the members, some
times of single couples and at other
times by the wholesale.
The motive underlying this singu-
lar state of affairs is what the federal
government is endeavoring to throw
light upon and a searching investiga-
ton of moral conditions at the colony
is under way. The inquiry promises
to disclose a situation of affairs
shocking and sensational in its ma
ture.
Affidavits OF three women, former
members of the cult, are In the hands
of United States Attorney Myron IL.
Walker of Grand Rapids, and Hinton

reau OF investigation at Chicago. TIE

tanning immoral relations with Drac-
ucally every woman and girl In the
colony.
Special agents of the bureau OF in
vestigation, headed by Special Agent
Jenkins of Chicago are at work in
yestigating charges of alleged viola
ton OF the Mann act. District Attor-
ney Clyne at Chicago also is in pos
session of the complaints filed re-
garding the possibility of Mann act
prosecutions.
Attorneys John j. Sterling and
Harry ). Whitney Of Benton Harbor
MED original complaints with the
government several months ago. Ad-
ditional evidence has been supplied
the federal officials from time 10
time since that time.
1t is the theory Of the complain
ants that Benjamin has suspended
the ~non-marriage doctrine for the
purpose of covering up conditions ex-
listing in the colony. Missionaries
are sent out in pairs into all parts
or the country to bring in new mem
bers, and it is alleged that women
and girls were brought in for i'm
moral purposes.
This view of the federal investiga-
tors is based on the afhdavits of the
three women, two of whom are now
suing for divorce from husbands they
say they were forced to marry
against their will. The marriage,
they charge, was brought about in a
sort of lottery scheme arranged by
Rom 10 min ot,I ~, - 49, -
years ago.
The three m are Mrs. Augusta
Fortney Holiday, Mrs. Lena Fortney
McFarlane, sisters and Mrs. Edith
Clark, all of Benton Harbor. Mrs.
Holiday and Mrs. McFarlane are SUI
ing for divorce. Their bills were filed
several months & in the Berrien
county circuit court and the cases are
still pending.
The government has a list of
names of nearly 100 women and girls
who are either living at the colony
now or have left recently because of
alleged conditions there. The list
showed their age, how long they have
been among the Flying Rollers"
and where they came from. Their
ages range from IA to A, and they
come from all parts of the United
States and from many foreign coun-
tries. Special efforts are being made
to obtain the evidence of Miss Clitus

Ind, who was a member of the col

be living with her father at 81

commission, has come out strongly in
opposition to the new legislature
making any amendments to the pres
ent state good roads law. He states
that. while certain amendments made
to the law by the Legislature two
years ago weakened it somewhat, the
good roads law as ii now stands
meets all requirements and it should
not be amended by the coming legis-
lature for fear that its effectiveness
would be destroyed or greatly inter

Belle Notwithstanding to ID. ID.
Cutler, livestock agent for the c. a.
N. w. Ry., the agricultural section OF

years show marked growth of the
hog raising industry. Three years

section, but each year since then the
shipments have increased and this
year over 100 carloads went east.
The development of the alfalfa fields
and the natural advantages for hog
raising, are given as the reasons for
the prospect OF a big industry in this
section.
Sioux Falls-Plans have been
drawn for a new $4,000 Elks tenn
pie which will be erected in the

The Elks for some years have owned

proceeds will apply on the cost OF
the new structure. The new building
will be three stories in height and
will be one of the finest lodge hall
buildings in South Dakota. The new
