CHILDREN Ml
BE SACRIFICED
Holy Roller Parents Keep Two
Firstborns Locked Up
in Their Homes.
FANATICS IN A FRENZY
Evangelist Preaches Self-immolation
and That Christian's Noblest
Fate Is to Make a Burnt
Offering of Himself.
IX3 ANGELES, Cal., July 21. Opeclal.)
Sacrifice by fire Is the latest symptom
of fanaticism to which the Holy Boilers
have given evidence. Immolation of their
oldest children is the programme, unless
the authorities interfere. This extreme
manifestation of religious frenzy has
aroused Monrovia to a degree that Mar
shal Miller ha made it his business to
attend the meetings of the sect every af
ternoon and evening, not knowing in what
form the frenzy will break out next.
Neighborhood gossip has stirred the
townspeople because of the rumors that
the eldest children of certain families of
the faithful are being segregated to go
through the ordeal of purity, later to be
the panchul lambs of slaughter.
A wave of Holy Rolierism has swept
along the Pacific Coast, but it has re
mained for Monrovia to reach the radical
stage. Two of the best-known adherents
of the faith are known to have kept their
oldest children locked up at home for
some time, however, and out of this has
grown the repeated rumors that sacrlnoe
by tire of children will happen if the au
thorities do not stop the fanatic element.
In today's sermon Evangelist Cook ad
vocated self-immolation by nre. He said
that it was the Christian's noblest fate to
die by fire, to make himself a living sacri
fice to God.
Hurt Gets Threatening letter.
CORVALL1S, Or., July 21. (Special.)
Somo crank or fanatic has written
to O. V. Hirt, father of Maud Hurt
Creffleld. warning him that he must
not aid his daughter in her forthcom
ing trial at Seattle for complicity in
the murder ot George Mitchell. The let
ter also directs him to erect a monu
ment to George Mitchell's memory, on
penalty of being "fixed." The letter is
postmarked from Portland, but there
is no hint of the author of the missive.
A comparison was made with the
handwriting of a similar letter mailed
to Mrs. B. E. Starr, sister of the de
ceased, but, the writing is plainly not
that of the same person. The letters
are now in the possession of Perry
Mitchell, who is making an effort to lo
cate the writer.

sion of Local Inspectors on Appeal

pended for one year the mariner's license
of Captain Samuel Bonlfield, of the steam
er B. J. Stetson, which was in collision
with the barkenttne Jane L. Stanford off

Bonifleld for not slowing up after the col
lision for the purpose of ascertaining how

Thereupon he began work clearing the
river for that purpose. The Bohemian
settlement owns the land bordering the
streams for a few miles, and these ri
parian owners objected to having the lit
tle creeks opened to traffic, for it meant
the destruction of some of their fences.
When Catlin arrived on the scene a
bunch of employes of Turnidge were busy
cutting out logs and blasting out ob
structions in the creek. A gang of Bo
hemiuns . rushed excitedly from every
quarter loaded with means of Inducing
the Turnidge employes to move on.

Wagonload of Whisky Mysteri
ously Disappears.
OFFERED TO BAY CITY FIRM
Wagon Trainmaster Says He Took It
Back to the Presidio After
It Had Been Rejected
Down Town.
SAN FBANCISCO, July 21. (Special.)
If the grand Jury begins a search for lost
relief goods, it is reported that it will un
earth scandal. There is a story that quan
tities pt clotfhing, bearing all the ear
marks of goods "secured from broken Red
Cross consignments, have been delivered
to storekeepers in Fillmore street.
Startling revelations, demonstrating be
yond all doubt that some one high in
either the civil or military department of
the relief system is guilty of having traf
ficked in wines and liquors sent to San
Francisco tor medicinal purposes, are at
hand. Work is ahead for the grand Jury
and courtmartial. and foremost among
the witnesses to be called to tell what Ire
knows will be J. K. Waggaman. a bronzed
and careless, daredevil wagon trainmas
ter in the employ of the United States
War Department.
Waggaman was in charge of the nina
teams which, June 2, carried 47 cases of
"medical supplies." kaown to be assorted
liquors, to. the Jefferson-Square Hospital
storeroom. These liquors have disap
peared and where they have gone no
man dares to say. In his explanation
Waggaman says:
"I hauled one wagonload down to the
biggest firm in San Francisco. This firm
was to buy the whisky. It did not buy it,
though: it sampled it and rejected it on
the ground that its quality was Inferior
and the firm's reputation would suffer if it
offered it to its patrons."
"What, did you do with this whisky
after it was rejected by this 'firm."
"I hauled it back to the Presidio."
"What became of it then?" .
"You've got to ask somebody higher up
than I am."
Investigation to Be Made.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21. A military
investigation and a grand Jury inquiry
have been ordered to inquire into the
mystery surrounding the disappearance
of nine wagonloads of liquors dispatched
from the Moulder School warehouse to
the Jefferson Park Hospital storeroom.
Major-General Greely, commanding the
Department of the Pacific, has ordered
Lieutenant-Colonel John P. Wisser, In-spector-Oeneral,
to trace the disposition
of every bottle of liquor sent here for
relief purposes that passed through the
Army station.
The grand jury is as determined as
the Army to solve the mystery as well as
to determine the merits of the charge
that some one is guilty of having traf
ficked in liquors intended for relief
purposes. Foreman J. F. Brannin says
he will find out what has become of the
whisky received here, even if he is com
pelled to go to the extremity of sub
penaing Majer-General Greeiy, the whole
United States Army, and every civilian
connected directly or indirectly with the
distribution of relief supplies for the fire
sufferers.
