Declares That There Is No
Proof That the World Is
Round or That 1t Has Any
Motion

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE story of
1.-The Village that Voted the Earth
Is Flat has an earnest adherent in
Wilbur Glenn Voliva, overseer OF
Zion, the religious community that
Alexander DoWie founded at Zion
City, a little north of Chicago.
Declaring that there Is no proof
whatsoever Of the sphericity of the
earth or that the earth has any mo-
ton, Overseer Voliva SAYS he is pre-
pared to refute modern astronomy,
scientifically as we'll as from the
standpoint Of the Bible
Here are some of the points he ad-
vances:
"All standing water is level. Let
any one disproVe it II he can. Iney
cannot disprove it. This is conclusive
evidence that the old Pythagorean-
Copernican system OF the spherlclty
of the earth is false.
"a man stood at Kingston, Jamal-
ca, and saw the lighthouse at Ha-
vana harbor, cighty-two miles dis
tant. which is another conclusive
Eroof that sphericity of the earth is
a fake.
''The midnight sun has been seen
hundreds of times, but it would be
absolutely impossible to see it on a
sphering You would have to look
through hundreds of miels OF earth
and rock.
There is a railroad in South
America 1000 miles long which is
almost perfectly level. The Suez
canal is a hundred miles long with
out locks and with scarcely any rise
at all Where is your curvature OF
the earth? There is none.
mo wonder higher critics and
modern believers in the Copern1can
system of astronomy laugh at 'the
flood and say that such a thing as a
flood could not occur on globe or q
spherical earth-and I agree with
them They are perfectly right. That
is what the devil intended when tie
invented the modern astronomical
theory-to destroy the word of God.
"They say that eclipses are caused
by the earth passing between the
moon and the sun, causing the shad-
oW, but how can you have an eclipse
with both the sun and the moon
above the horizon? 1t is a matter of
record that there have been a num-
Der of eclipses with both the moon
and the sun above the horizon. No
one knows what causes eclipses.
"They tell you that the sun Is
100000 miles away laugh at
that, not only as a mathematician,
but also as a student of God AL
mighty's word.
did God Almighty create the
earth and then create a light to light
it up and put it 100000 miles dis
tant and make it a million times
larger than the earth? What kind of
a fool would build a house up in
Kenosha and erect light a hundred
miles from it to light up the parlor?
"They say that science is not spec
u1ation, but if science is true, then
there cain be no conflict between 1t
and the word of God-but when it
comes to the word of God, they have
not a leg to stand on. 1 will take the
word of God and down any modern
astronomer on the face of the earth
and dispose of him in less than thir-
ty minutes"

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE voyage of
The Quest, the quaint little 200-ton
ship which is carrying Sir Ernest
Shackleton and his party to frozen
mysteries in the South Polar seas,
has for it's detectives not only ocean
ographic research but the exploration
of a petrified forest and the location
of lost" lsland-Tuanalli-t adj
jacent waters of which have not been
sailed for more than ninety years.
In addition, soundings will be taken
of the ocean plateau surrounding
Coughs Island in an effort to deter
mine the truth regarding a supposed
underwater continental connection
between Africa and America.
Nineteen persons, representing
each of the British self-governing
dominions, are expected to be aboard
built for tight corners" leaves
Capetown, South Africa, for two
years of buffeting it's way through
the Antarctic ice.
The Quest, which uses both sail
and steam, and which may cover
more than 10000 miles before its
return home, was constructed &C
cording to the personal ideas of
Shackleton, who has made several
voyages to the Antarctic. He COM
manded the British expedition OF
10000. which reached within ninety
seven miles OF tne Soutn roe, anu
also the expedition of 191415 to
Weddell sea. His present ship is Ill
feet long, 25 foot beam and II feet
in depth. She was built in Norway
in 1917, of oak, pine and spruce and
has been tested in heavy ice. Her
sides are two feet thick and her
bows are of solid oak sheathe6 with
steel. Her steaming radius is 5000
miles and, under sail, in a stiff
breeze, The Quest can make eight
knots. She carries wireless equip
ment and an airplane with 25-foot
wing spread. She has a glass-en-
closed bridge and lookout that re-

FRENCH AVIATION
At 4 STANDST|LL

PARIS, Sept. IS. - Aviation In
France is at standstill, according
to Captain Rene Fonck, Frances
greatest ace, now deputy in charge
there will be no change in the situa-
ton until the government has liqui-
dated the large fleet of aeroplanes
left over from the war.
Captain Fonck downed 126 German
planes, the official records of the
army credit him with seventy-five,
the number which he brought down
over 500 air duels and totaled 1900
hours flight during his war service.
He has been decorated by almost all
the allied governments and is a grand
officer Of the Legion of Honor.
"The government was left with
1000 army planes on its hands when
the armistice was signed" Captain
Fonck told the United Press. In
addition to this, Germany delivered
5000 planes to us. Until we liqui-
date this war stock there will be
little chance for recovery in the build
ing line. Our factories could not keep
going if it was not for foreign or
ders.
Our army aerial appropriation for
1922 is 300,000,000 francs. In addi-
ton to this the government has APP
propriated 100000 francs as a sub
Sldy Tor pr1aVte companies 10 encour-
age the development of civil avia-
ton. Without this subsidy the COM
panes could not operate.
I'VE are handicapped in France by
short distances, a two-hour flight
lands us in London or Brussels, five
United States you have wonderful
possibilities for cross-country fly
ing"
Captain Fonck expects to sail for
the United States in October to study
aviation conditions.

SEEKING FROZEN MYSTERIES
IN THE SOUTH POLAR SEAS

der of fortune, the aviator of the ex-
petition, plans to fly above the Ant
arctic fogs to scout out passages be-
tween the foes through which The
Quest may pass. He is also the Pho
tographer and naturalist of the eXpe-
dition. The biplane he will use is
one of only three that were ever
built The other two were flown, re-
spectively, by Colonel Borten, V. c.,
the pioneer flyer from England to
Mesopotamia, and by Sir Ross Smith,
the first man to fly from England to
Australia.
Other members of the Shackleton
party, besides those already men
toned, include Frank Etild, second in
command; Frank Worsley, comman-
der: Major A. H. Macklin, biologist;
r. Stenhouse, lieutenant commander;
Captain L. Hussey, meteorologist; j.
S. w. Mari and N. f. Mooney, cabin
boys.
The petrified forest that will be
explored was found by Shackleton on
the island Of Trinidad at certain
point where he landed from Captain
Robert F. Scott's ship, the Discovery,
more than twelve years ago. Coughs
Island is eight miles long and 1000
feet high, and in 1904, when visited
for the first time on record by mem
bers of the Bruce expedition, was
found to have at least four hitherto
unclassified species of birds. Tuanaki,
the lost" island, has been mentioned
in old nautical records, but apparent
ly has disappeared. A spot in the Pa
cific where it is supposed to be will
be dredged Tor evidence to show that
it is recently submerged land.
There is already in the South Polar
regions, another British expedition.
1t is led by Commander John L. Cope,
who left Norfolk, Va, on October Il,
1920, for a six years sojourn in the
ice fields The party is aboard T.
OOO-ter whaler, the Thor l., and three
auxiliary ships and numbers more
than 100 men. One of it's purposes is
the commercial development of the
mineral wealth of Antaractica.

COTTON

NEW YORK, Sept 19-Declines of late
last week were followed by sharp recoveries
in the cotton market here today. Inc late
cables from Liverpool were relatively steady,
with private advices reporting the decline
- there had brought in an increased trade
demand, and the local market opened firm
at an advance of 80 TO IS points. There
was d little southern selling, caused py
some irregularity right after the call, but
1t was we'll absorbed by covering and trade
and commission house buying, and before
the end of the first hour active months
were &c to 60 points above Saturday CLOS
ing figures, with October selling at lS.IOc
and December at 1900. There was nothing
ia the weather news to attract any special
attention, but there were q great many
smell buying orders around the ring, sug-
gesting that last weeks liquidation had le1t
3 the market In firmer technical position.
There were ractions of Is or 20 points
during the middle of the morning under
realizing but otherwise no pressure de!el-
uped aid the market showed increasing
strength early in the non hour, with all
the active months making new high ground
for the day. December sold at 19.45c ana
January at 19.4Oc. or % to 100 points above
last weeks closing. No fresh news factor
was connected with tn eadvance, which local
brokers attributed to rebuying by old longs
and an increased trade demand brought IN
by the extent of recent reactions and re-
ports of moderate spot offerings in the
south.
The midday advance carried prices ~ to
100 points above Saturdays closing figures
but demand slackened at 1915 for Deem
Der and trading was quiet later. with the
market showing reactions of 10 or 10
points from the best around o'clock.

Willing to Face
Jury of RESTS

REDWOOD CITY, Cal, Sept. IL
William A. 3ightower, itinerant
baker and casual laborer, charged
with the murder Of the Rev. Patrick
3. Heslin, a Catholic priest of Cobra,
Cal, protested his innocence from
the first and maintained that re
would be willing to have full jury
of priests sit in judgment on him:
The killing of the priest developed
one Sof California's most notable
murder cases.
Father Heslin was called from his
home at Colma. a suburb of San
Francisco, about 8 o'clock on the
night of August 2, by muffled
stranger who said he wanted the
preist to administer the last sacra-
ment to dying man. The two rode
away in small automobile.
The following morning Miss Marie
Wendell, the priests housekeeper, no
titled the police of his failure to re-
turn, and search was begun. Miss
Wendell later identified Hightower
as the man who had called for him.
The day after the priests disap-
pearance the Right Rev. Edward j.
Hanna, archbishop of the Catholic

ransom of $500 for Father Heslin,
and saying that he would be killed
if the money was not paid.
rewards tOt3llng SS,UUU were OF
fered for the safe return of Father
Heslin or the recovery of his body
In the early evening of August 10.
Hightower called at the home Of
Archbishop Hanna.
Guided by Hightower, police start
ed late that night for Salada Beach,
a short distance southwest of Colma,
where Hightower said he believed
the body was buried He declared that
woman companion whom he knew
as Dolly Mason had told him that a
drunken foreigner had furnished her
with the information.
On arriving at the spot the party
quickly uncovered the body. The
priests skull had been crushed and
he had been shot twice.
The San Francisco police, suspi-
cious of Hightower's tale, kept him
in custody. They established to their
own satisfaction that Dolly Mason
was a myth. A woman named Doris
Shirley, who, Hightower asserted,
lad accompanied him to San jose
from San Francisco on the night Of
the murder, denied it, and Hightower
later admitted he had been mistaken
in the date.
A search of Hightower's room in
a San Francisco hotel revealedq a
tent which corresponded with tent
ropes, pegs and flaps found at the
scene Of the crime.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 19.-Advances OF
nearly a cent pound were made by cotton
in the early trading today as the result of
heavy buying, stimula ted by better L1v-
erpool than due and reports from the cot
ton region that picking was rapidly being
completed in many important sections. The
market acted healthy the result of the
selling Of last week and responded readily
to tn buying pressure. At the end of the
first hour of business the active months
were SO to 81 points up, with October at
1879 and March at 1890. Distant months
displayed a disposition to widen premiums
ON the near months.
Gables from Liverpool saying that the
improvement and kilograms from points in
Texas and Oklahoma stating that farmers
were not willing to sell cotton al prevailing
prices and were hauling it back home in
creased the demand for contracts. In the
trading I'D to IL O'Clock prices were sent
to levels los to 10 points higher than the
close of last week, October rising to 10
cents pound.
Rumors that a brokerage firm was COM
ing out with condition report of 80 per
cent of normal proved to be the strongest
buying influnece of the day. Toward the
close prices were 144 to 1877 points higher
than the last quotations of last week, Octo-
Der standing at 1884.

NEW ORLEANS, La. Sept. 19.-The
cotton market opened higher today, grad
ual1y increased its gains and in the late
trading stood at its best, at net gains of
IA to 157 points, finally closing at advances
of 142 to $50 points. October traded up to
1880 and closed at that price. May trad
ed up to 1890 and closed at 19.2Sc.
A much better Liverpool than due helped
to open the market higher and the demand
increased on reports that farmers were re-
fusing to sell their cotton at many points in
the western belt, that picking was nealry
completed at many points in the interior
and the rumor that a New York firm

35 per cent of normal, the lowest crop re-

plainly was technically very strong as the
