There was no evidence Of SER
pent ceremonies in the meeting
that eliminated in Davis fatal
dosage last Friday. The Rev.
Miller took his text from the
snake-handlers' favorite passage.
st. Mark 1917.
"They shall take up the SER
penis, and they that drink any
deadly thing it shall not hurt
them.'
Four members of Miller's
branch of the sect testified that
he brought a bottle Of poison to
the services, refuting the pastors
earlier statement that Davis
brought his own potion. Later
analysis was to prove that the
bottle contained strychnine, BIZ
chloride of mercury and assorted
other poisons not yet classified,
For several hours the zealots
worked themselves into a frenzy,
witnesses testified, and finally the
moment of the supreme faith
demonstration arrived.
Brother Davis" said Reverend
Miller, a witness related. DO you
believe in the power of the Lord
great enough to take what's in
this bottle? If you do, drink it.
If you do not believe the power
OF the Lord is great enough. Don't
do it."
Davis was in a transport Of re-
ligious zeal, 1t was brought out,
and reached for the potion. Mil
Ter, witnesses said, poured several
teaspoonsful of his brew into a
glass of water and handed it to
the agitated worshipper.
Davis took several big gulps of
the drink and Miller slipped it him
self, to demonstrate he practiced
what he preached, witnesses said.
Davis became i'll the next day,
his relatives said, but he Gust
kept prayin' and pluckin' his gui-
tar" When he fell into a coma
he was taken to a hospital where
he quickly expired.
Druggist B. B. Brogdon of
Lyerly, Ga, close to the scene of
the backwoods services, said that
Miller came to him several days
earlier and asked for some strych-
nine to use at services but he re-
fused to give it to him. It was
not learned where Miller finally
got his poisons.
Mrs. Lucy Davis. the widow.
testified that her husband chad
too much faith-I kept telling him
over and over again that the other
members wouldn't drink it.
Willis Davis, a brother, said he
belonged to another branch of the
church that didn't believe in
drinking poison.
Sam Davis, father of the de-
ceased, said that he used to .ehan-
die snakes with Ernest'' but
doesn't believe now that's the way
to salvation.

ORE PRODUCTION

ST. PAUL, MINI. WH-Minneso-
ta's iron ore mines, working over
time to take care of the nations
postwar steel demands. may set
a new peacetime shipping record
this year.
Ray D. Nolan, director of the
state division Of lands and miner
ais, said that at the present rate
Of shipment, Minnesota may ex-
coed the GA, 900, 000-ton peak hit in
1941. This, however, would still be
far below the staggering 70, 800, 900
tons shipped out in 1912 to keep
up with war production.
Nolan reported that on Aug. l.,
ore shipments from Lake Superior
docks to eastern manufacturing
compared to 10, 725, 233 tons at a
similar period last year.
If the present rate is main
tanned, Nolan estimated that this
overall tonnage would hit
at least So, 900, 900 tons, with a pos
sibility of another two or three
million to put the state over the
1941 total.
A variety of reasons combine to
produce this years shipping out
look, including a longer shipping
season and a lack of strikes to
halt production. Last years So
600, 900 ton shipments, lowest in
seven years, were mainly the re-
suit of strikes in the coal, steel,
and mining industries, which, in
some cases, set iron range pro-
duction back everal weeks.
Minnesota's Mesabi range, larg-
est in the nation, supplies two
thirds of all ore used by steel
firms. Present estimates are that
nearly 1000, 900, 900 tons CT ore re-
main in the known ore bodies, al
though sufficient of the best open
pit ore has been exhausted to be-
gin search for new deposits,
AT u present rate of ship
ment, it is conceivable that Min
nesota's mines would be fairly
well exhausted within is or 20
years. However, the whole picture
IS so full OF unpredictables that
it's only a guess as to how long it
would take us to use up all the
deposits" Nolan aid.
He added that if another war
comes within the next 20 years,
mining operators will not have the
"quick ore" to get at that was
possible for fast mining during
World War II.
Rather, Nolan said, most of the
open pit ore will be gone and op-
orators will have to concentrate
on the underground and taconite
ore-a far more expensive mining
operation.

said. However, he may not be
able to muster a parliamentary

Tsaldaris offered to step down
in favor of a third person as pre-

solution, reliable sources said.
Tsaldaris then insisted he would

MacVeagh's residence to report to

Sophoulis, leader OF the Liberal

have received proposals for recon-
stitution of the Agency so as to
give adequate representation to
the nOn-Zionists i. It is hoped in
Zionist circles that the process of
charging the Agency will be COM
pleted before the United Nations
take up the Palestine issue :.
This would enable the Agency to
appear before the U. N. as the
representative of all major groups
in Jewish life Officially the
Agency intends to present to the
U. N. the demand for the estab-
lishment of Jewish Common
wealth f.. This demand, however,
will be modified by a provision
that any trustee appointed for
Palestine by the U. N. must in the
interim period fulfill all obliga-
tions of the mandate as adopted
by the League of Nations It
is anticipated that Britain will
attempt to secure the trusteeship
over Palestine without some of the
mandate obligations This is
what the leaders Of the Agency
fear most Some of them be-
lieve that Britain is likely to
achieve it's aim to retain the man.

BRITISH TERMS

A serious controversy over the
British proposal on Palestine is
expected at the special session of
the United Nations :. The British
have recommended that the u. N.
session limit itself to setting up
a fact finding committee on Pales-
tine for preparatory study before
the regular session of the U. N.
General Assembly in September ;.
But Britain has no power to limit
debate at the special session to a
question of procedure Conse-
quently, if the session will insist
on debating the substance of the
Palestine issue - which Britain
would prefer to see deferred-the
British delegation by itself could
do nothing to stop it It must
be noted that the United States,
Soviet Russia and France, all of
whom supported the calling of a
special session, are not committed
to the idea that the meeting do
nothing more than set up an in
vestigating committee The
possibility is therefore foreseer
that some of the great powers may
prefer the special session to get
down to the essence of the Pales-
tine situation and to make immed-
late recommendations The
chances are also strong that the
five Arab League members of the
United Nations will oppose the es-
tablishment of fact finding COM
mittee and will try to develop dis
cussions on the Palestine issue on
a much broader basis If the
u. N. session decides on an immed-
late debate on the substance of
the Palestine problem, the British
delegation may wait to see how
the debate develops before taking
further decisions
The British Governments policy
is to present to the fact-finding
committee, if any is set up, a de-
tailed memorandum describing
British policy and administration
in Palestine.
