BENJAMIN" HIDES
In DAYID'S PALACE
Head of Benton Harbor Cult
Surrounded by Bodyguard in
Castle, Say Officers

BENTON HARBOR, Mich, Dec. Is.
-(Special) - benjamin" Purnell.
king or the house OF David, is hiding
In Shiloh palace, according TO the be-
lief or investigators In the employ or
the United States department or JUS
tice, who are proDing charges OF
gross immortality lodged against the
Holy Roller" leader by three young
women, former members OF his fiock.
The high council of the colony has
issued an announcement 10 the effect
that the king of everlasting life has
fed into the wilderness OF the un-
clean"
The probers do not place much
faith in this story because, they point
out, Purnell would be much safer in
his own castle than anywhere else.
He is said TO have strong body
guard and Shiloh" Is said 10 be un-
dermined with network OF pas
sages, Offering a means of escape
should his protectors be beaten down.
The situation also serves TO
strengthen the morale of the rank
and fle OF the colony. according to
the investigators, inasmuch as 1t Is
being preached to them that the pres
ent troubles OF the white-haired. white
suited cult leader are nothing more
than the fulfillment of the prophecy
that the tribe of Israel will not be-
come the chosen people OF the earth
until II has passed through bitter per-
secution
The pressing of charges OF free
love- against Purnell and the filing
OF suits for damages has fomented a
revolt In the colony II Is said, and
Purnell finds II convenient to assume
the role OF martyr In order to hold
the wavering allegiance OF his flock.
The fact that Coy Purnell, son OF
the aged leader, Is allowed TO remain
in the county Jail, is pointed out TO
strengthen this theory. The youth
was taken on a capias In two suits for
$4,000, charging SANDER, and filed by
Lena McFarlane and Augusta Holli-
day, two young women, former mem
bers of the colony. They allege that
young Purnell called them perjurers
after they had filed suits for dam
ages against his father. Young Pur-
nell's bonds were fixed at 81 900, and,
with the half million dollars in the
Golfers OF the House of David in abso-
lutte control OF King Benjamin, his
release would have been an easy mat
ter had IL not been for the fact that
persecution Is the watchword at
the present time.
III. G. Clabaugh. chief OF the federal
investigating stan, has almost com.
pleted his work, and 1t is believed
that he has worked up case suffi-
ciently strong to warrant the arrest

Detroit Orchestra
Scores Fresh Triumph

The excellent impression made by
the Detroit symphony orchestra in
Its first concert a month ago, was
greatly deepened, Thursday afternoon,
In the Detroit opera house, when the
orchestra gave the second concert OF
the season. The audience was more
than friendly--it was enthusiastic and
discriminatory appreciative. and az
a special mark of encouragement to
conductor and players, the applause
continued so long at the end or the
andante movement OF Brahms First
symphony that Conductor Weston
Gales was forced TO call upon his men
to stand to acknowledge the plaudits
OF the listeners.
There is no question but that the
orchestra Is composed of superior
band of players. whose work thus far
i'm the young life of the organization
Is remarkable for its smoothness and
spirit. IL is a pleasure to music low
ers, and the supporters OF music in
this city, TO have revealed to them
the fact that Detroit harbors men OF
real musical accomplishment and the
material out OF which fine symphony
orchestras are made. Mr.. Gales Is
proving himself a man of resource,
of ability TO create, nurture and de-
velop this material. and he assuredly
deserves full measure of credit for
the results he has accomplished In so
short time.
Thursday afternoon, the orchestra
played Brahms First symphony. Slbe-
lius' "Valse Triste," and the vorspiel
to Humperdinck's "Haensel und Gre
tel" and played each number we'll
The symphony received careful
handling. and, as mentioned before,
the andante movement was so admir-
ably rendered as to arouse the great
est enthusiasm from the audience. The
delicacy and rhythm of the Sibelius
number was very well presented and
proved that the string section OF the
orchestra is its strongest asset The
quality OF tone is smooth, sweet and
clear. and the ensemble Is particu.
larly good. considering the compara-
lively limited time the men have
played together. The vorspiel was
played with excellent effect, and the
whole program was enjoyable. The
third concert will be given Thursday

Fate of WARSAW Depends
On Present Fighting

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The most des-
perate fighting of the entire eastern
campaign is now developing on line
within 80 miles of the city of War
saw
Berlin Is celebrating what Is ac-
cepted there as a great victory over
the Russians as the result OF an off,
cial statement that the enemy's offen-
sive against Posen and Silesia has
completely broken down. From Petro-
grad reports have come that the Rus
sian lines south of the Vistula have
been drawn back nearer Warsaw for
strategic reasons. Ii Is evident, how
ever, that the battle upon which the
fate OF Warsaw may rest Is only now
approaching a climax.
The German official statement is
regarded here as covering the cam
paign from more OF a defensive stand
point than an offensive. BY forcing
the Russians TO retreat not only in
The Detroit times., 1914-12-18

against the allies, British troops have
delivered a blow which resulted in an
advance OF practically two miles.
The extent of the forward move
ment OF the allies is now increasing
daily. The latest advance is reported
northeast OF Arras.
Fresh troops which have taken up
positions on the battle line are at
tacking the Germans with the great
est determination. Particular atten-
ton Is being given TO the clearing of
all small woods of the enemy where
their field guns have been masked
From La Bassee, westward 10 the
coast, heavy fighting is in progress.
From hospital bases In the rear of
the lines reports have been received
that great numbers of wounded are
arriving.
Admission of the general offensive
taken by the allies is seen in the Ger
man unofficial statement which has
been received here, stating that there
Is possibility Of activies on con-
siderable scale on the western front.
