PROBE OF ZION
CITY PROPOSED
BY HOUSE BILL
State Legislature May
Investigate Acts
of Voliva.

Springfield, Ill, Feb. 11.-Inves-
tigation of the Christian Catholic
Apostolic church at Zion City, Ill,
is proposed in a resolution intro
duced in the house today by Repre-
sentative Shurtleff of Marengo. The
resolution charges that persons
are being induced to invest money
in the enterprise of Overseer Vo-
liva, who is said to lay claim to a
special dispensation from heaven.
A committee of nine members,
five from the house and four from
the senate would be authorized to
take evidence and subpoena wit
nesses to carry out the intent of
the resolution which was laid on
the speakers table for reference.
The institution of Voliva at Zion
City, which the resolution says has
complete control over the munich
pal and school system, is referred
to as "a blot on the state" and says
the city is run for the purpose of
defrauding the public"
Wilbur Glenn Voliva is declared
in the resolution to be "owner or
pretended owner of all or nearly
all of the real estate in said city
and by profession claims to be en-
dowed with supernatural powers
and is represented as claiming di-
rect communication from the di-
vine power"
The resolution says Voliva
through said supernatural and di-
vine power claims, is, and has been,
soliciting and encouraging citizens
of this and other states to invest
large sums of money in leases of
land in said city and in other Zion
enterprises and by and through
such leases pretending to extend
over a period of a thousand years
it is charged that the same is a
mere pretense to secure and in
yeig1e the monies and property of
innocent investors, by a false and
fictitious religion

GIBBS Used to Subdue the
Radicals as Boat Takes
Them From u. S.

New York. Feb. 11.-Fffty-four
rabfd anarchists, posing as Indus
trial Workers of the World and 9TH
ers, arrived at Hoboken today on
a train from the west enroute to
the Ellis island immigration sta
ton, where they are to be detained
until arrangements can be complet-
ed for their deportation. AS a
group of men was led from the
train to the boat on which they
were transferred to Ellis island,
three cheers for the Bolsheviki
were given and three more for the
Il W. W"
Cry ~TO Hell With America"
AS the boat left the pier the rad
~ became noisy. Lets give
1es cheers for the Bolsheviki"
me shouted. This was done and
the red flag and the Il. W. W" also
we're cheered and after this demon
stration the prisoners chauted in
unison: ITO Hell with America
: The first group which stepped
from the cars, moved quietly along
the Delaware, Lackawana and
Western. railway platform and was
escorted by the guards from the
train, 20 railroad police and six i'm
migration inspectors. When all of
the 53 men and one woman had
reached the decks of the immigra-
ton boat the police ordered the l.
w. ". members to separate them
selves from the others and move to
one end of the vessel.
Clubs Used to Subdue Them.
One |. W. ". member objected
and struck a policeman on the nose
with his fist. Others of the l. W.
". closed in, the police came to the
rescue of the man attacked and not
until clubs had been used freely
and effectively were the I. W. W.
members subdued.
Another version of this disturb
ance was that one Of the 54 had
throughout the journey from the
west been a marked man among his
fellows suspected of being not
radical, but a government agent in
disguise.
Prepared for Trouble.
Tl~4 authorities at Hoboken had
= pared for trouble, but no I. ".
". or anarchist sympathizers were
assembled at the station. Only po-
licemen, immigration inspectors,
newspaper men and a few passen-
gers waiting for trains saw the
undesirables stream from the train.
The radicals were not handcuffed
but were guarded closely.
Before the boat left Hoboken for
Ellis island. the immigration au-
thorities called on the United States
army for aid.
A lieutenant and 20 soldiers
boarded the vessel. The radicals
were lined up on deck and were
warned by the army officer that
he and his men had come aboard to
preserve order, and that they were
prepared to use their weapons II
necessary. The boat then swung
out into the lower bay. The boat
carried more guards, soldiers and
policemen than there were radicals.
3 The soldiers carried small arms
: nd were instructed by the immi-
graeion agents to shoot to kill ii

Blow Is Beaten Down
-Yanks and Allies

London, Monday. Feb. 10.-The
Bolshevist launched an infantry at
tack on Saturday on the allied lines
near Sredmakrenga, southeast of
Archangel, and were repulsed, ac-
cording to an official statement on

STRIKERS IN EAST
CLAIM I. w. w. AND
BOLSHEVIKI BUSY

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 11-While
leaders in the textile workers
strike here for As hours work with
81 hours pay asserted there was
no increase in the number who re-
turned to work, either yesterday
or today, mill officials said more
employees were at work than at any
time since the strike started a week
ago.
The Lawrence Central Labor
union issued a copy of a statement
sent to Frank Morrison, secretary
of the American Federation of La
Dor, setting forth what they de-
clared to be ''the true conditions
n this city" The statement says
that the Central Labor union sought
and obtained, at the request of the
United Textile Workers of Amer
ica and the American Federation of
Labor, a 4S-hour week for the tex
while negotiations were going on
"a group Of Bolshevist and l. W. W.
propagandists" arrived and became
active among the non-English
speaking non-organized textile
workers making rash promises and
giving un-Amerfcan advice"
"They also stated" the Central
Labor union statement says. that
they were in a position to supply
unlimited funds, which up to the
present time has proven to be un-
true"
The statement adds that on the
advice of the Central Labor union
many of the workers went back
into the mills, but that at present
1t is unable to meet with any sue
cess in its efforts for the textile
workers because Of the trouble
and unrest caused by these Bolshe-
vik and I. W. W. representatives.
On conclusion the statement asks
that the members of organized la
Dor first aid those textile workers
in the cities wherein the employers
nave refused to grant the 4S-hOur
work, rather than permit funds to
be raised for other places with al
most a positive knowledge that they
will be used for the promotion OF
a political propaganda which has
for its purpose the benefit OF the
Hun and is intended to create such
a condition of unrest in our coun-
try as will make 1t impossible for
the representatives OF the United
States to impose such terms at the
teace conference as will, in part at
least honor the efforts of our boys
who gave their life blood for the
cause OF justice and humanity"
