NAY EXPECT MASSACRE
Declaration Of Holy War in Turkey
Presents Dire Peril to Hundreds Of
Christian Missionaries-Dr. Hoover,
Of the Congregational Hospital at
cessarea, Fears Christian Population
Will Suffer.

| Special to Times Republican.
! Muscatine, Nov. THE wholesale
massacre of Christian missionaries in
Turkey in Asia Is not to be unexpected
war in Turkey. declares DIR. Alden
Hoover president of the Congrega-
tional hospital at Cesarea, Turkey,
who arrived In Muscatine Friday.
The uprising on the part OF tho
Musselmen presents dire peril to the
hundreds of brave and jealous mis-
sionaries who have been lahoring
among the turks for years." he further
declares.
Cesarea is six days ride from Con-
stantinople and is one Of the most in
land points in Turkey In Asia and DR..
Hoover is deeply concerned as to the
welfare of the scores Of christian work
ers who reside there.
II am afraid that the Musselmen will
play upon the fanaticism Of the ma
tives and in this manner prompt
massacres which will decimate the
christian population Of the inland
provinces" said DR.. Hoover.
The hospital, Of which tho former
Iowan is as the head. Is supported by
the Congregational foreign missionary
board and has more than 100 beds.
in the face Of a holy war" said
| DR.. Hoover, II fear that the results Of
years OF heroic labor on the part Of
those who have sought to build up
christian institutions in Turkey will
come to naught. Murder and arson
will go hand in hand and those poor
unfortunate workers hundreds Of miles
removed from civilization have but
scant hope Of escape in the face Of a
holy war"

Estherville. Nov. THE fire bug who
has for the past few weeks been ter
rorizing the citizens Of Baskerville by
setting fires, was caught Friday after
noon at o'clock. Fire Marshall Ford
Connolly found flash light in the
ruins of the w. R. Elliott barn Friday
morning and found that 1t belonged to
Vern Elliott. The boy was called from
his class at high school Friday after
fire hall. where he was questioned by
Fire Marshall Connolly and Council
man w. A. Brimer until o'clock. when
he confessed that he was guilty. When
asked his motive for such actions he
marked that it was fun to go into the
crowd and hear them talk about the
fire bug.
When the Blazer barn burned he was
the one who claimed he saw a man
start the fire and gave a description
and also accompanied the detectives
and police in their search for the man
ans ering the description.
Has Fired Eleven Barns.
In the past two weeks he mas ruined
eleven barns. He also pleaded guilty
to setting fire to the beautiful NJ. E.
church Wednesday night besides set
ing eight other fires in barns which
were extingulsneu before any DANA &c
was done. When asked If he was not
aware that he was apt to be shot he
remarked, Il knew where each watch
man was located and worked from the
opposite side of the barn.
Fires Own Fathers Barn.
There was detective hiding within
thirty feet of the Elliott barn and Mr..
Elliot was milking his COW within ten
feet Of the structure. when he slipped
in and started the fire In his own fath-
er's barn. then went into the house to
wait Tor the excitement. He was al
ways in the crowd at each fire to enjoy
his devilish work.
He is Is years old and was counted
one Of the brightest boys In school. His
parents are well to DO people and are
some Of Estheryille's best citizens,
owning several hundred acres of EN-
nett county's best land.
The fire at the Methodist church was
the twentieth in the city in the last
few weeks. The IRE was confined to the
rear OF the building near the Sunday
school room by prompt work OF the
firemen. It was at first thought that
the fire originated in box of Christ
mas tree decorations under a stairway
in the northeast corner Of the building.
altho some held the fire bug RESPONSE
bic. According to the confession Of
young Elliot this was his work also.
When the boy fired his fathers barn
his parent was not twenty feet distant
and it was he who discovered the
flames in the upper part Of the building.
The barn was almost totally destroyed
despite the efforts of the fire brigade.
Mr.. Elliot has been guarding his prop
erty faithfully since the beginning of
the fire bugs work and the fire was
mystery to him. Detectives have
been on the case for some time and
have been shadowing every suspicious
person.
