TRAITOR TO
REL]PARTY
ACClJSERS
CLAIM
Reports State That His Re-
cent Book Shows Turn From
Lenin's Teachings

STOCKHOLM, Nov. 2S.-Leon
Trotsky, Soviet comnissar for
war and one time hailed as the
Soviet HNapoleon, has been forced
to resign from the political bureau
BY the rising tide Of feeling
against him, according to a Cen
trail News report received here
from Moscow. The report has not
been confirmed.
Trotsky has been the center Of
. controversy. Formerly the close
associate of the beloved Lenin, he
has been criticized as the arch
enemy Of the late leaders poll
cies since the publication of his
book dealing with the Soviet rev.
olution.
Trotsky Remains Silent.
The cry of "oust Trotzky'' has
been repeated by mis- enemies in all
parts Of Russia, but ne has kept
silent, as he did wnen under fire a
year ago.
"Trotzkyism" which his foes hold
was the antithesis Of the teachings
of LeIfin was forwarded in his book
which brought the agitation against
him to a head when it appeared q
month ago.
General Secretary Stain of the
communist party, attacking Trotzky
from a different angle, sought to
remove his last claim to Russian
favor when he charged that the vic.
tories of the Red army were won
despite Trotzky, not because of his
leadership.
AS member of tne political blu.
reau. Trotzky was one Of seven
leaders who exercise bureaucratic
control of Red Russia
His reported forced resignation
may mean his complete retirement
from political ACTIVITY If not his
exile from Russia.

Bible COLLEGE
A HAREM, SAY
MINISTER'S
Evangelist Charged With
Graft and immortality by
Mennonites
By international News Service.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Nov. %.
A new blouse of David" scan
dial, with H. M. Ferguson, self
styled evangelist, of Chicago, as
its central figure, was in the
making here today as result of
a report Of three Mennonite min
listers, constituting a committee
appointed to investigate Fergu-
sons activities.
Their report charges Ferguson's
religious college" at Cedar Rap
ids, Iowa, to have been little short
of a harem. His followers, the
report says, were mulcted of all
their worldly possessions and in
dependence to the benefit of Fer
guson, who, the ministers say, has
accumulated some $4,000 worth
of property and has $4,000 cash
on deposit in Cedar Rapids banks.
Has Cult Of Own.
The ministers cay Ferguson is
leading a cult of his own creation
patterned after the "House Of
David" in which he is "the self
appointed Noses
Ferguson" says the report, Gin
duced little flock of some 100
supplemented persons to accept his
stern discipline and religious super
sritions and stripped them of their
possessions and independence.
He brought his victims from
Ohio, Indiana, Nebraska, Missouri,
and Iowa. He insisted that they
sell their property and give the
proceeds to the Lord.
Ferguson, as the Lords agent,
insisted that the title to such prop.
erty be assigned to him"
Charges OF gross immortality are
also contained in the report.
Posed as SiInOn-Pure.
'He posed before his flock as a
Simon-pure variety of Bible knowl-
edge" He induced whole families
to move to Cedar Rapids where the
children could take advantage Of
the superior Bible training which
he taught In his school there. When
they came they found no school,
but harem.
The girls were .domiciled in charge

British Army Stages
Great Land and Air
Threat Against Rebels

Carlo, Nov. 2S.--All the air and
land forces of the British army in
Egypt began "a demonstration In
force" today throughout the country
as a sequel to a mutiny of two
platoons of Sudanese troops which
was put down with British guns.
Plainly, the free exhibition Of
armed troops and whirring air-
planes was a Warming 10 the natives
to undertake no more such upris-
ings in protest of British policy
resulting from the murder of Sir
Lee Stack, sirdar of the Egyptian
armies and Sudan's governor gen
eral.
Meantime Lord Allenby, British
high commissioner, pushed the vigor-
out campaign against factions held
responsible for the assassination OF
Sir Lee Stack and plots to kill Allen
by and other. British and Egyptian
officials by further arrests Of Egypt
ian deputies today. The names OF
the men taken into custody were not
revealed by the British authorities.
A leader Of the student forces
styling themselves "Zaghloul's
army" was among those arrested.
The British authorities said that
the four dignitaries and close asso-
ciates Of Zaghloul Pasha, who were
arrested yesterday, were held re-
sponsible for speeches inflaIniug
extremists to the fever of feeling
which resulted in the killing OF
Sir Lee.
It is possible, according 10 in
dications today, that some Of those
arrested yesterday and today will
be implicated directly with tho
plots against Sir Lee and Lord
Allenby.

Great Air and Land DEM

LONDON, Nov. %. = Two
platoons of the Sudanese troops
at Khartoum mutinied today, At
tackled the Khartoum hospital and
killed three doctors, one member
of the British medical corps and
two Syrians, according to a Daily
Express dispatch from Cairo.
British forces turned their guns
on the mutinous troops and quelled
the uprising, the despatch stated.
The mutineers, who have been
responsible for recent disorders
in the native forces, were Of the
left wing of the Sudanese. Two
other platoons were believed to
have been ready to mutiny.
Rebels Suffer Heavily.
The mutineers wrecked the hos
pital at Kartoum. but suffered
heavy casualties themselves when
the British guns were turned on
them.
The foreign office later confirmed
the dispatches telling of the
mutiny and said official belief was
that the outbreak was the result
of agitation by Egyptian officers.
The number of native soldiers in
volved did not exceed fifty, the
foreign office said, adding that the
situation was well in hand and no
general outbreak was feared.
