complete confession of his participa

conspiracy, and that his story re

Davis admitted, the statement says,
that, he was a partner and co-worker

apprehended at Pittsburg by Detec

Davis implicates Harry Jones, secretary-treasurer
of the International
Association of the Bridge and Struc

H. S. Hockin, the latter being suc

Davis that he was selected as the
leader of fifteen chosen dynamiters,
who were assigned to blow up a num

out the country. This plan was con

trial, and was intended to convince

Glenn Voliva to Conquer the
People of the World.
ZIONIST DOCTRINE IS PREACHED
StieceHSor of John Alexander Dowtc
Says He Will Convert the World
to MIm Faith Two Months
Needed.
ZION CITY, III., Oct. 2. Wilbur
Glenn Voliva, successor to the late
John Alexander Howie as head or
Zion City, styled by his followers "the
center of the worid," today complet
ed his plans for a series of "world
conquering tours," designed to con
vert all the people of the earth to the
Zionist cause.
Accompanied by a brass band and
a double quartette from the famous
white-robed choir, Voliva and ten
specially ordained workers will set
out early in October on a trip
through Illionls. Having toured this
state, they will repeat the perform
ance until every state In the middle
West has been' covered. Ultimately
Voliva said today he expetcs to car
ry the gospel of Zion into every cor
ner of the globe.
Vollva's recent victories over the
pork-eating, tobacco-smoking "heath
en" of Zion City have left him free to
concentrate his efforts on the con
version of the world. The Dowie
ites are now in absolute control of
the city council, having removed the I
last two "heathen" councilnien three!
weeks ago, and all city ordinance, j
Including that, one forbidding nny-j
one to smoke on the streets of Zior
Citv are being vigorously enforced. I
The .present crusade, Dowle's sue
cesser, announced today, will con
fiime about two months. During that
time every county In the state of,
Ullonis will be visited by the Zion
crusaders, who will travel by automo
bile. Meetlncs will bo held in ev-j
cry city of 3.000 or more inhabitants.!
Voliva intends to talk personally to!
the crowds at thee meetings, while
his ten workers are canvassing the
rural sections. Moving pictures of
the scenes In Zion City will be ex
hibited and the phonograph will be
called upon to repeat the exhorta
tions of the late John Alexander Dow
ie, "prophet," whose preachments
have been religiously preserved.
Overseer Voliva is not ready to an
nounce whether It Is his intention to
found any more Zionlte communities,
preferring to await results of his tour
of conversion. His theory, however.
Is that Zion City must forever re
nin In the "center of the universe,"
and that all the world's activities
must radiate from It.

PEARY' S
PROOFS
During the early days of Polar controversy the
matter of "proofs" was brought to an unwarrant
ed and exaggerated focus. Peary and his friends
declared that the "proofs" of such an attainment
must rest upon an examination and thorough test
of instruments, and an examination of unreduced
field observations
Testifying before th Naval Committee in
Washington last winter, two members of the
National Georgrapkie Society who had passed up
on Mr. Peary's records, acknowledged that their
verdict to the effect that Peary reached the Pole
was based upon valueless proofs. They testified
that their widely-heralded examination of the
Peary instruments consisted simply in a few
minutes' casual glance into the interior of Mr.
Peary's trunk, which contained them, in the Penn
sylvania Railroad Station at Washington, where
the trunk had been checked. Mr. Peary, himself,
admitted that no tests whatever had been made
of these instruments.
