been in circulation in Bangor and up

woodsmen, said to be Poles, are sus-
pected of having caused some of the
fires that have devastated the for
ests in the Penobsoot region this

much to do with woodsmen and lum-

of these Poles are so undesirable as

not hire them at any price, and that
it is more than suspected that in re-
venge they or some of them have
started fires on the lands of these
employers.

Glenn voliva and an independent
group who have banded into a vigil
ance committee OF 1000 members.
There have been innumerable
cracked heads. wholesale arrests
and counter-sorties on the police by
lvigilantes.
Heading the vigilantes Is the Rev.
Thomas II. Nelson, pastor OF the
Grace Missionary Church, whom
Vollva has ordered out of town.
The vigilantes have a woman's
auxiliary directed by the Misses
Helen Peters. Jessie Upp and Mary
@. Wheelock. They want removal
OF style restrictions imposed by Vo-
Iva, with freedom TO wear silk hose,
sheer waists and short skirts, IL they
desire. The male vigilantes have
this platform:
Ousting Of Voliva.
State investigation OF his admin
istration of city finances.
Control of the public parks by the
people.
Right TO worship as they choose
and recognition OF property rights.
Refusal to recognize the Zion nag
of gold. white and blue.
Zion City was Incorporated in 1902
by John Alexander Dowie, a religious
leader who settled with his followers
on a tract IL miles square.
Today the town numbers close TO
5000, half Of whom profess allegi-
ance to Voliva and have the edge on
their Independent neighbors by a
majority of 400 voters.
zionists Lead 'Bluc Law" Life.
All true zionists lead plainly
severe life. The Bible is their strict
and only code.
Voliva, as successor to Dowie. is
absolute dictator.
He boasts that all municipal Of
ficers ARE my men, and do as
wish"

their number through the arrival OF

Vaccination against communicable
diseases.
Moving picture shows. dances and
even sociable games OF cards.
Baseball, sale of ice cream and
confections and operation OF restau-
rants on Sunday.

headquarters atop the Zion home,
where he lives with his wife and
daughter, Ruth, hurled this def at
his attackers:

Despite all his claims to riches
Voliva maintains he lives the simple
