TOTSAND
IAFIRl'. PLAN Of
RELIGIOUS SECT
Russian Douhhchuors Would
Adopt This Method As a
Protest Against Alleged
EXOrbitaat Taxes.
tBy The Associated press.1

vancouver, B. c., Feb. 22.--Peer
Veregin, head of the Russian re-
ligious sect known as the DoulSho-
buors, today confirmed reports
that he had suggested a plan
whereby the children of the colony
under ten years of age, together
with the aged and infirm, be
drowned as a protest against al
legged exorbitant taxation. Once
rid of those unable TO travel, Vere-
grin proposed that his followers
abandon their farms and wander
over the country, preaching the
coming of Christ and living as the
warrant working class"
NJ. Koflinoff, head of the sect in
British Columbia, asserted that a
mass meeting of members under
his jurisdiction had endorsed the
suggestion that they liquidate all
their property. Committees, he
said, would dispose of all houses
and stock If the proposal was car
ried out and members of the tribe
again would become wanderers
over the earth.
kOtlnotf admltted that the pro-
posal to drown the young and in
firm probably would meet with
objection on the part of the worn-
en- members of the colony.
1T is estimated that there are
5000 members of the colony IN
Canada, most of whom are locat-
ed in small groups in british CO.
lumbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan
They migrated from Russia in
1895 following persecution by Co.'S
sack soldiers in the reign of Gear
Nicholas III.
Since coming to Canada men,
bers of the sect have had frequent
controversies with government Of
ficials, chiefly over taxes, school
laws and military service.

BY ITALIAN EXPERT

Rome, Feb. 20 (by the Associa-
ted Press)-General Desibert, chief
of the Italian aviation service, to-
day declined to discuss the possible
cause Of the disaster to the great
American airship Roma, which was
purchased from italy. He declared
the scant technical information OBJ
tainable from the dispatches reach
ing Rome dealing with the destruc-
tion of the airship. did not afford
sufficient ground on which TO form
an opinion
The newspapers today print
columns regarding the accident
and in recalling incidents surround
ing the Roma during her building
and trips she made In italy.
The expressions of grief were
general in aviation circles here to-
day, as many of the crew of the
Roma had many friendships among
the italian officers and with Italian
families. The Americana were
familiar figures on the streets Of
Rome for many months.
