COMMUNION CUP
POISONS DEACONS

Grand Rapids, Mich, Jan. 8.-Ten
elders of the Seventh Reformed
church here were poisoned at the
morning service today when they
drank varnish that had been poured
into communion cup in the belief
it was sacremental wine. Two of the
elders were said to be in critical
condition.
The church recently had been re-
paired and in the store room where
the sacrame1tal wine is kept in a jug
several jugs of varnish used in re-
decorating had been stored. One of
the officials of the church is said to
have mistaken the varnish for wine
when lie filled the communion cup dur
ing the church service.
The ten elders of the church were
the first to drink the communion wine.
AS the cup was being passed to other
members of the congregation the eld-
crs were seen to fall to the floor.
Many of the church members became
panic stricken and rushed from the
edifice. A physician was summoned
and the stricken men taken to hospi-
tails or their homes.
The poisoned elders were D. J. Va
derwert, John Riewold, S. Folkertsna,
Henry Terkeurst, John Bosth, R.
Druyn, j. Hollgensteger, c. Heemstro,
r. Dofco and H. Hoggsweis.
The communion cup was passed to
the elders Immediately after the Rev.
D. A. Vanlummel, the pastor, has COM
pleted his sermon. Elder Riewold was
the first to drink the poison and the
first to fall. The other elders COL
lapsed in rapid succession. Folkertsna
was said to be in the most serious
condition of any of the ten.

NEGRO FUGITIVE
ELUDEy yPOLICE

ed tonight by New Jersey and Penn
sylvania state police mar Fallsing-
ton, Pa, few miles from this city,
and with New York and Trenton po-
lice on guard, Luther Boldly, the
young negro who is alleged to have
killed two New York detectives
Thursday night, was monnentarily ex-
pected to be captured. He was be-
lieved to be cornered ina small area,
following dash early today in a
taxicab from Jersey city to Trenton
with revolver at theJhead of the
taxi driver.
Boldly, attired in women's cloth
ing, eluded the vigilancs of the Ney
York police and made hik way to the
Hudson Tubes terminaf in Newark
late last night, where she engaged
Adam Adubato, taxi diver of New
ark, to take him to Jersey City. There
Body is declared to have revealed
himself to the taxi driver as Boldly,

ened him with revolver, and robbing
hmi of about SITS, all the money he
had. rs
Adubato, according to.sthe story he
told Chief of Police Cullmgton here
today, was compelled by Boldly at
Jersey City to take the road to Phila-
delphia. The negro, he said, fre-
quently threatened him5wiht the re-
volver adm demanded speed, declar.

After passing Trenton, Adubato
ran out of gas. The negfo compelled
him to stop a car going towards
Langhorne, Pa, telling 4dabato to
ask for gas and saying H he. made
a false move it would be his last,
Instead of asking for gas however,
Adubato jumped on tthe running
board of the other car and Exclaimed;

whizzed past. At Oxford Adubato
telephoned the Trenton police and a
man hunt was organized to capture
the fugitive.
Boldly, according to the Newark
taxi driver, besides wearing woman's
attire, wore a woman's wig, and the
police believe that this, with the veil
he wore, covered long scar on his
face and enabled him to elude the
New York police.

GERMANS CALLED TO
DISCUSS PAYMENT

Cannes, Jan. 8 (By the Associated
Press) BRAND and Lloyt
George today had their first talk or
the future relations between France
and Great Britain since they have
been at Cannes. 1t is understood
that they went over broadly the prin
cipal. questions, this being necessary
to settle the order and form the basis
of close entente, pact or alliance.
A Franco British alliance for mu-
tual defense has created a strong
under current of opinion here, not
| withstanding that the atmosphere has
| seemed to be little favorable to nego-
tiations tending to make the relations
between the two countries close. NJ
BRAND and Mr.. Lloyd George appea,
far apart regarding the attitude the
allies ought to take toward Germany
after the default in the payment Of
reparations, and are not at all in ac-
cord as to whether the explanations
ought to be heard at Cannes.
Council circles were much agitated
today by reports from Paris that a
treaty had been signed, but the only
document known to exist touching
upon the question of an alliance is a
memorandum which sets the reasons
as basis for such pact. NJ. Brands
fiat declaration for an alliance be-
fore he departed from Paris made a
marked impression on the British
who advanced the argument that il
would be easier to deal with France
on European questions if she were
not able to hold forth as an argument
on her part the failure to secure from
the United States guarantees for her
security, such as would have been
given her if the Versailles tripartite
agreement had been ratified.
The decision to discuss the situa-
tion in Asia Minor here, instead of at
Paris at later date, is interpreted as
move to do away with all subjects
in controversy between the two coun-
tries so as to clear the way for a
convention covering all European and
Eastern questions.
The reparation experts have in
creased the total amount which Ger
many will be required to pay in cash
in 1922 from 5OO,O00,OOO gold marks
| to 700,000,000. This was done as q
concession to Belgium when it was
seen that 500,000,000 would be en-
tirely absorbed in the cost of the
armies of occupation.
Belgium has made a determined
fight for the priority which is due her
and the increase in the next years
payments makes possible the continu
ance Of this priority.
The allies are anxiously awaiting a
reply from the United States to the
invitation to join in the economic
conference; both NJ. BRAND and Mr..
Lloyd George are confident of it's ac-
ceptance.
There is considerable speculation
in allied circles as to how the United
States will regard the new attitude
towards Russia, but both the French
and British delegates are of the opin-
ion that the United States will rec
ognize Russia on the conditions they
have laid down. The British feel GER
tain that the Soviet leaders will ac-
cept the conditions after they have
tried to bargain for better terms.
No reply is expected from Russia for
the present.

Spartanburg, Jan. S.-"Billv" Sun

audiences of more than 5000 each on
the opening day of his campaign in

meeting standing on top of the pulpit

."Why call We me Lord, Lord, and do
not the things / say"
His text Of the night sermon, from
which he preached upon the sins and
weaknesses of society, mixed scrip-
ture and modern slang with rapidity
that leaves his audience almost dizzy.
The South Carolina audience broke
into prolonged applause at one time
when he concluded a denunciation of
che divorce evil and again when he
paid his respects to the bootleggcrs.
When he reached in the course of his
sermon the theater and society. he de-
bclafed he had no quarrel with the
theater or with society but with their
