AUTO KILLS BOY AS He
Walks With FATHER
Hand in Hand with Parent, Who Was
Saying White Clothes Would Pre-
vent Being Run Over.
DAZZLED BY SEARCHLIGHTS

Ralph. the ten-year-old son of Oh
yer P. Parthemore. of 1892 Seven
teenth street northwest. was struck
and killed last night by an automobile
just north OF the Sixteenth tsreet
bridge. He was walking hand-in hand
with his father when the car. driven
by Myer Fellheimer, Of 2219 California
street, hit him.
Mr.. Parthemore said afterward that
only a few moments before the acct
dent he remarked to his son as they
were crossing the street that their
white clothing made them easily dis
tinguishable to a driver or chauffeur
and so would protect them from being
run over. He added that the dazzling
searchlights on another car prevented
them from seeing the machine which
struck the boy.
Fellheimer stopped his car. helped Par
themore to put the boy into II. and then
sped to Garfield Hospital. where it was
ascertained that the boy had been killed
almost instantly. His skull had been
fractured and there was evidence of in
ternal injuries
FellheImer also drove TO the Parthemore
home and returned TO the hospital with
the mother of the slain child. Then he
went to the Tenth precinct police station
and surrendered himself for arrest
Deputy Coroner White released him with
an order to appear at an inquest in the
morgue this morning.

WAR GIVES IMPETUS TO
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
Foreign Wage-eamers Are Carrying
Enormous Sums to Postofhces.
Says Mr.. Burleson.

The European conflict has given a
great impetus to the United States Pos
tai Savings System. accordiig to state
ments made yesterday by the Postmaster
General, who. IN the last few days. has
been getting special reports from post
masters in the lsrgest commercial CEN
tiers.
Large numbers Of wage earners Of for
eign birth are taking their savings to the
postoffices, thus releasing enormous
sums for commercial purposes at a time
when there is an urgent demand for
every dollar. Many new accounts are be-
ing opened daily and the number Of
Withdrawals already below normal, has
rapidly diminished.
During the last week in New York
City the deposits have quadrupled daily,
while scores of other cities show sur
prisIng gains. Third Assistant Postmas-
ter General Dockery has just received a
telegram from a small Illinois city say
ing that the Greeks in a railroad con-
struction gang at that point want to de-
posit 81. 900 Immediately.

Young Pioneers in Western Canada

So did the smooth shaven, young athlete

The assembly was typical Of the place

side of the lake came the settlers from

its baseball team. The<west side won

The one speech was made by William
Pearson who first viewed the region
when 1t was primeval before the Grand

Another advantage in the tolicy Of

were captured. The shooting OF the Ger
mans generally was poor.
Meanwhile the Germans began an at
tack between Forts Floren and Evengnee
and opened fire on the town.
General Leman crossed the river Meuse

with Germany in an attack upon France.
There are, however. no advices to indi-
cate that Austria had made a move in
this direction.
When the Germans compare their
present situation with that of 1901 they
must realize how great was their Joss
when the control Of German policies was
transferred from Bismarck to the young
German Emperor. In the war Of 1901
the German people were arrayed against
the French Emperor, and the contest was
single one between the two enemies
without allies on either side. Now Ger
many has one ally, Austria, while she
has 80 conducted her diplomacy as to ar
ray against her not only the French and
the Russians. but Great Britain. with its
powerful navy. and Belgium who. as the
recent report show, is not by any means
TO be despised.
The present indications are that Italy
so far from coming to the aid Of Ger
many as a member Of the Triple AL
lance. will declare war at least against
Austia. Germany Is not only vastly out
numbered on the sea, but on the land
also. She has an army of 100000 men
and Austria l. 900, a total force for
the two allies Of ssh. 900. Opposed to this
force is one of 1o.65O.o ooo made up as fol-

The German losses were enormous. The

The German attack lacked simultane-

in a skillful manner, but the German
artillery did not shoot with accuracy.

REMNANT OF THE DOWTE
estate under HAMMER
Palace-ike and Richly Furnished
Residence Near Muskegon. Mich,
Likely to Be Demonished.
COSTLY FURNITURE IS TO GO

Muskegon, Mich, Aug. s-Marking
what is probably the disappearance OF
the last connecting .litks between
Zionist John Alexander Dowie and his
family and the Dowie summer home.
Ben Mac Dhui, on White Lake, the
remnants of the once splendid fur
nishings of the house have been Of
fered for sale and will be disposed of.
Solid mahogany, heavily carved, all
testifying to the splendors of the place
at the height of Dowie's caresr, will
be knocked down to the highest bid
der.
Mrs. Dowie, who, with her son Glld-
stone, made her home here for a' nuTa-
ber of years following the deposition
and subsequent death of the prophet"
is now living in Pawhuska, Okla,
Episcopal church, he having taken a
divinity course after making an un-
successful attempt to practice law at
Montague in this county.
Ben Mac Dhui is tenantless now. and
the house is open so that people can
come and go as they wish. The prop
erty is in the hands of Charles E. Soule
of Grand Haven, to whom It came
through the foreclosure of a mortgage.

powerful organization which created a
city of 10000 in two years and threatened
to establish an empire OF its own in
Mexico. Yet, even though the hosts Of
Zion recruited their members from al
most every land, and although Dowie's
name was known in all parts Of the
world, few who followed his fortunes ever
knew of the part which the small town
OF Montague played in the fall Of the
cult.
When Dowie's fortune became large
he purchased the sixty acres Of land
on white Lake and built there a palace
like residence to which he repaired for
weekend vacations. Here he had
retinue of servants numbering over forty,
a band of sixty pieces and a robed choir
Of 500 voices. But the seeds Of dis
sension once started made rapid prog
ress in his church, and in two shcrt
years his church came tambling about
his ears.
Following his death Mrs. Dowie and
the son, Gladstone. were able to secure
as their share of the vast estate only
the property of Ben Mac Dhui, then
worth but a small fraction Of what 1t
originally cost.
The sale Of the furniture at Ben Mac
DhuI means the end of the place 1t
probably will be cut up into small lots
and sold to summer resorters.
