Prepared for
Hazardous Flight

Bergen, Norway.-Rona1d Anundsen
the famous Norwegian arctic explorer,
will attempt his hazardous air flight
from Point Barrow in Alaska to Spitz-
bergen at the end of June, it is an
nounced here. Between these two
points he will traverse what has hith-
erto been the Arctic's "blind region,
territory Of which nothing whatever
is known. The greater part OF this
blind sector lies directly between Point
Barrow and the North, Pole.
Experts in polar work consider that
one Of the greatest of the difficulties
Amundsen will have to contend with
will be that Of orientation-the deter
mination of his latitude and longitude
while under fight. Assuming that
Amundsen starts from Point Barrow
under ideal conditions and in due
course finds himself directly over the
pole, he will, according to astronomic
theory, have south on all sides Of him.
1t is Of vital Importance that he start
his southwark course along the right
meridian, for although in which ever
direction he flies it will be south, the
following Of wrong meridian may
lead him along the icy wastes of the
Greenland tableland or even across to
Siberia. r..
Another danger, according to polar
experts, is that he may find himself
over the open sea between Greenland
and Spitzbergcn, which is some $50
miles at this point, and entirely out of
the routes of any vessels employed in
Arctic work, Spitzbsrgen is notorious
for the thick fogs which suddenly and
completely envelope 1t In the course of
few moments, aid here again lies a
danger,
The success or failure of the adven-
tnroUs fight, polar navigators say, de-
ponds upon atmospheric conditions, and
on these alone--engine failure, Of
course, excepted.

SEEK FUNDS LEAK
In HOUSE OF DAVID
State and County Authorities Declare
That Money is Being Slipped to
King Benjamin.
(By Associated Press Leased wire)


st. Joseph, Mich. = State and coun-
ty authorities today admitted they
were attempting to find the leak in
the House Of David money bag through
which they profess to believe Benja-
min Purnell, the cults leader, who is a
fugitive from justice, receives funds
to maintain him while in hiding.
A careful scruntiny of the record Of
Benton Harbor and St. Joseph banks
where the colony deposits funds, shows
no large sums withdrawn during the
last year. Therefore the authorities
believe Benjamin has direct contact
with some member or friend of the
House of David, by means of whom
he is drawing upon the reserve supply
Of cash that he built up during his
reign as king" of the organization.
This connection, the officers point to
the testimony of Esther Hansel at the
recent trial of damage suit in Grand
Rapids to the effect that a secret
compartment in the walls Of Benjamin's
chamber at Shiloh contained a large
sum of money, as well as jewelry and
precious metal. Purnell is still being
sought to face a statutory charge.

Canadian Churches
Plan to Amalgamate

Port Aurthor-Means for affecting as
quickly as possible the amalgamation
of the Presbyterian, Methodist and
Congregational churches of Canada,
into one body, were considered by
leaders today Of the three denomina-
tions in the dominion.
After quarter century of effort the
amalgamation was finally accepted last
night when the general assembly of
the Canadian Presbyterian church
voted 426 to 129 to unite with the
two denominations which previously
had ratified the plan.
The vote means that there will be
one organic union controlling the doc
trine, membership and property of the
three church bodies. The latest Of
fetal church census that Of June, 1922,
listed the Methodist membership at
4O6,933, the Presbyterian at 1921,
and the Congregationalist at S2,149.

CHILDREN TO
STAY AT HOME
Mrs. Ladewig Wins Gus.
tody Of Children After
Court Fight.
NEGLECTED

After hearing in the municipal
court held Friday afternoon to deter
mine whether or not the children of
Mr.. and Hrs. Max Ladewig were ne
elected and delinquent children, the
jury in the contested case decided that
the children were not. Attorney A..
L. Drury represented the parents in
the case and put UP bitter fight for
the retention of the children, who
would otherwise have been sent away
in all probability to an institution or
taken care in another family.
Children Is Foreman.
The verdict of the jury given at the
close of the trial is as follows: eve
the jury imnannelled and sworn to try
the issues III this case find that the
children, Daisy Ladewig, Vernon Lade-
wig, Emil Ladewig, Emery Ladewig,
Willard Ladewig, Curtis Ladewig and
Ellsworth Ladewig are not neglected"
The verdict was rather appropriate
ly signed by "a L. Children, foreman"
In addition to the verdict the jury
signed volunteered suggestion which
read as follows: "The jury suggest
that the mother stay at home and care
for the children and that the service
league or city poormaster furnish
the necessary food and clothing not
provided by the father. The evidence
of the truant officer shows that he
does not keep a record of his work.
(Signed) A. L. Children, foreman"
Result of Old Case.
Various persons interested in the
child-life of the city, representing the
leagues for service and promotion Of
general welfare testified that the Lud-
wig children were neglected. Miss
Timme and Miss Boardman for the
service league testified that the fam
lily had been given help for the past
ten years and that it was given up
because hopeless case.
"Lately they have not been given
help" said Miss Timme, because it
seemed unwise. Our experience with
this family reaches over period Of
ten years and throughout that time the
condition remains the same It is
throwing money away we feel to try
to cope with them. No matter if they
are given clothes the children are not
sent to school or washed or otherwise
cared for. They run about the streets
and it is apparent to the nearest
spectator that they have no care at
home whatsoever There is an able
bodied man in that family and there
is no reason why the conditions should
be so very very much below the stan
dard of decent living. In the interests
Of these growing children it seemd
high time that some one intervene and
secure for them the proper environ
ment of cleanliness and that they have
an opportunity to secure an education
instead of running the streets like lit
tie gamins."
The truant officer testified that the
children were habitual truants and did
not attend any school.
