Since 1880 o'clock last Friday
morning, when DIR. C. N. Sewers,
colony physician, found Purnell
dead, the kings" body has not

belief that PurnelI will arise, it is
against the colony teachings TO
touch the dead.
1t was PurnelTs teaching that he
had been chosen to lead $4,000 OF
the eject to everlasting life on
earth.
In death, Purnell, who success
fully fought the law with Dewhirsts
aid, in various civil actions, de-
feated it in two criminal actions.
The latter two actions soon were
to have been brought to hearings,
with two young women, former
members of his colony, as the
complaining witnesses. Only
few weeks ago, FurnelI's colony
had been ordered into receivership
by Judge Louis III. Fad, of the cir
suit court, and Benjamin himself
was ordered banished from the

Senator'S Discuss
With Indignation
Charges BY Hearst

WASHINGTON, Dec 19 tH9-Con-
gress scattered its energies in SO many
directions today that the sum total of
progress on outstanding legislation was
almost imperceptible
The senate spent the day introduc-
ing bills and resolutions, discussing in
plain-spoken indignation of the Hearst
Mexican slush fund charges, and put
ting the brakes on proposed senatorial
Investigations. In the house a SEEM
ingly interminable succession of bills
to bridge various and sundry rivers
held the right of way, although two
other measures of general interest did
squeeze through with house approval.
They were an authorization to expand
the public buildings program by $780,
100000, and the Walsh bill amending
the statute OF limitations to aid in
prosecution of the Fall-Sinclair case.
The senate's mood toward new SEN
atorial Investigations, such as in re-
cent years have been given smooth
right of way, greatly surprised some of
the senators themselves. After an
argumentative flourish, accompanied by
some desk pounding on both sides, it
was voted 40 to 36 not to proceed at
once with the sweeping inquiry of
public utility companies proposed by
Wash of Montana. Over the protest
of it's friends, who s1id it meant at
least an indefinite delay, the proposal
was referred to a committee. Consid-

inquire into civil service postmaster

MEXICO CITY OFFICIALS HONOR
COLONEL LINDBERGHI AT PICNIC

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 10 R-COl.
Charles A. Lindbergh was the

municipal council at a picnic held
this afternoon at XOchimilsO, on
the outskirts of the city.
FIanked on either side by high
municipal dignitaries, including
Mayor Arturo Saracho, Co.
Lindbergh received tremendous
ovation as he made his way
through the great crowd to the
picnic grounds where, after for
NAL ceremonies, an elaborate lunch
con was served. Part of the route
was made through winding water
channels and on this stretch Col.
Lindbergh stood in flat bottom
ed canoe which was preceded by
another carrying a band that en-
tertained the crowd with native
music.
The official entertainment pro-
gram, which has been worked out
principally by the war department,
is expected to slacken somewhat
after the middle of this week and
afford Col. Lindbergh an Opp0r-
tunity to devote himself to plans
for his Central American tour
which he is to undertake shortly
after Christmas.

school girl, leaped from northbound
Southern Pacific train near here to-
night when the. train was boarded by
searching officers and escaped as the
shotgun of a deputy sheriff sent a
hail of lead after him.
The man, possibly wounded, van
iShed in the thick brush lining the
tracks and within half hour posse
of $50 men, armed with pistols and
shotguns, started beating the country
side in search of him.
The search for the suspect was
prompted by a message from the chief
of police of San Fernando that man
answering the description of the Los
Angeles killer had boarded the north
bound coast limited just before it pull
ed out of the San Fernando station.
At Newhall, short distance south
of here, Constable Seltzer and Deputy
Sheriff Bogardus boarded the train
and began a search for the fugitive.
Suddenly a figure leaped from the
observation car Of the train and ran
toward the brush that lined the right
of way The officers saw the move
and the deputy sheriffs shotgun roar
ed the alarm, sending load of shot
after the man.
The officers said he paused an in
slant
"He must have been hit" said Bo-
gardus. Then the fugitive plunged
into thicket.
Seltzer and BogarduS followed, blaz-
ing away with their guns in the hope
that random shot might reach the
mark. But the man had vanished.
Sheriff's deputies said the fleeing
suspect was j. Orville Turley, who es-
C.sped from the Colorado state prison
a few months ago, where he was i'm
prisoned for numbering woman in
that state and stuffing her body in a
furnace. They described him as a
degenerate murderer type whose de-
scription fits that of the fiend who
killed the Parker girl. His finger

were expected to check them against

Frances Negative Reply OFF,
set by Her Attitude at

PARIS, April 9.--France's negative
reply to the American invitation to
send an observer to the naval disarma-
ment conference predicted in these uis'
patches three weeks ago does not
destroy the usefulness of the con-
ference.
The American delegation at Geneva
indeed has been astonished this week
by the preciseness, amplitude ana
sincerity of Frances arms limitation
proposal
Others Are Embarrassed.
Few believed France would so 81
far in granting TO the League OF
Nations detailed control of ornaments.
Consequently, delegates Of other pow.
ers who went TO Geneva with the
double purpose of disarming their
neighbors and turning the discussion
into theoretical wrangles instead Of
definite plans which they had deter
mined in advance not to accept are
today exceedingly embarrassed.
If the preparatory commission sue
ceeds in evolving a complete project,
q general conference to pass on 1t can
be assembled in October. And if,
meanwhile. the Washington parley
adopts a new program of naval limi-
tation among the three chief naval
powers, it will not be difficult to in
corporate this into the leagues
scheme.

Incidentally the Geneva Conference
will discuss naval ornaments next
week. Frances idea of using total
tonnage as a basis has made consid-
the British delegation at Geneva adj
the British delegation at Geneva ad-
mits that dreadnaughts lose their eff
fectiveness against masses of smaller

for further instructions. America s
reply is partly contained in the award

MORALE IS FINEST THING
IN FOOT BALL, SAYS YOST

We will not countenance conduct in a
player that might mar the game, then
why not apply the same standards
to those that sit in the stands"
Coach Yost discussed foot BAH and
the administration of athletics from
many viewpoints. He told how teams
are developed, how morale is main
tanned, and gave something of Michi-
CANS brilliant record on the athletic
field to illustrate the splendid morale
that exists at Michigan. His dis
cussion of the relative values of diff
ferent factors in the development of
a team was exceedingly interesting.
especially as he laid particular stress
on a steady morale and decried sud
den inspirational efforts for par
ticular occasion.
Other speakers were Gen. Smithers
of the United States Army, DIR Lloyd,
dean of the University of Michigan
graduate school, and Fl. G. Byrd OF
the University Of Maryland. All paid
high tributes to Yost as coach and
as a man.

ciple of the junior college. DIR. w. r.
