were the occupants of the lighter I
car figuring In the spectacular
crash, while none of the names of
three California men had been
learned here this afternoon.
After the car In which they were
riding, a large coupe with a Calif
ornia license had plunged 200 feet
down a steep embankment and
then steyed there, freakishly, mid
way
the L-milo ll.n three

The Melyiia car. Into which the
larger car crashed as it rounded a
curve was at tho I'erkliis Motor

to be made. It did not go off the
grade. TJie back axle of Hie larger
coupe was demolished. The car
rolled oTf the grade for L'OO feet

"I Can Worship Better Outdoors"
Excuse Is Condemned By Rev. Sturgis
The man who says he can "com
mune with (tod better In Nature
than In a church" Is likely to In
crease his fishing proweKs and to
decrease his table etiquette but
it's very Improbable that he'll do
any "communing."
So declured the Itev. P. I
St urges, o ft he Cove Kplscop.tl
chore h who conducted the com
munion service Sunday at St.
Peter's Kplscopal church in an ex
change of pulpits with the Hev.
M. C. Tennyson.
There Is much to be said for
communion with nature in thnt it
takes u man from the "burly bur
ly" if life und lets him look ut
the world In quiet, thoughtful und
reverent mood but nature nn a
a sole expression of God was
found wun ting by the Cove rec
tor. He painted a harsh, cruel,
revenge- anting God that would
exlft if he ere to be found In
nature - alone. The storm. the
drought and nature's very selec
tion of who is und who Is not to
die ho cited in picturing the In
sufficient (hd of the pantheist.
A man could be little;morti than

The International Kellef huH re
ceived a message from a missionary
giving details of a Moslem mnss-
boys in the mountain town of Dun-
gar, which Its Informant believes
must havo taken place some
months ago.
Tho massacre roportod by Mis
sionary Andrews, was declared tho
most grousunui In the long history
of Mohntomeduu outbreaks In
China, Ho well organized was tho
raid that the mountain town wan
stripped of nil Us manhood in less
than two hours. As far as M r.
Andrews was able to ascertain
noarly ovory ablo bodied man was
uiiiru, oniy mo ageu escaping wnu
a few others who hid in collars,
I'Yonv what the missionary gath- '
ored from various officials, only u
few women wore killed In attempts ,
to protect tho men. Tho raldors i
came on foot and horseback and

"Kill-the men, every male from 17
to 70.'
Dangar Is In tho provlneo of
Kansu und Is Just east of the Tibe
tan border between Hlnglng-Ku
und ljiko Kokonor. '
Tlio town of Dangar, according
to Mr. Andrews' report, was filled
to overflowing with starving refu
gees who had assembled there in
the hope of gaining relief. Many
of the victims were famished and
too weak to offer any kind of ro
slstuuco even If they had arms.
The massacre wus thought to be
another phase of the Mohammedan
rebellion which hits been In. pro
gress Homo time. Letters from
.missionaries lust winter related
tales of bloodshed front April to
October during which It was estim
ated that 200,000 wore killed before
