Wtieeler Challenges
CooSldge Personally
WASHINGTON.—DecIaring that
.various charges he has made
c gainst President Coolidge's ad
ministration during the campaign,
have gone unanswered, Senator
Wheeler, the independent vlce-pres-
Idcntia! candidate, Wednesday chal
lenged the president personally, to
reply.
His specific questions were:
“Why, Mr. Coolidge, was it nec
essary for congress to act before
you dismissed the secretary of the
navy, who had allowed the navy’s
oil reserves to be turned over to the
secretary of the interior, knowing
this secretaray of the interior was
frankly in favor of turning over all
the nation's natural resources to
private exploiters?”
"Why, Mr. Coolidge, did you wait
for congress to act before vou start

Saint Basil the Great
Was the Real Christ,
States Russian Writer
MOSCOW.—Saint Basil the Great.
Has the real Christ, according to pro
fessor Nicholas Morozoff, Russian
scientist and philosopher, who has
■just completed a sensational work
entitled ‘ Christ" which is to appear
in several volumes.
Professor Morozoff was Imprisoned
by the czar for 20 years because of
hts alleged connection with the se
cret onganization which assassinated
Alexander 11. He says It is not true
that Saint Basil or Christ was cruci
fied. He asserts that he was only
punished by being tied to a tree, and
he finds the date of this event as
March 21 in the year 308 of the pre
sent era.
It is averred by Professor Moro
zoff that Saint Basil, or Christ lived
eleven years after this date. The ex
istence of the twelve apostles he savs,
is a mere myth which arose over the
fact that Saint Basil or Christ was
surrounded by a group of learned as
trologlsts.

NEW YORK, —Helen Peldose.2 4
years old, who was arrested in the
Jersey City, N. J., laundry, w'here
she was employed as a sorter, has
confessed that she was the lure by
which a Boston blackmail ring of
lawyers extorted $60,000 from Al

She also confessed th&ht she was
the bait in other plots that netted
blackmailers more than $600,000, the
police declared. She Is being held
for extradition to Boston, where she
is wanted on four Indictments
charging conspiracy and other of
fenses. While she told the police
that her name was Pelrose and that
«he had been employed In the laun

for congress to expose the vile de
tals of corruption in the department

“Why, Mr. Coolidge, do you still

"Why, Mr. Coolidge, when you

"Why, Mr. Coolidge, did you pro

Professor Morozoff says he bases
his conviction upon intensive study of
astronomy, astrology, photography
and history while tie was in prison.
He was guided by "astronomical and
rationalistic methods." The gospels

“The current, nt Its strongest, was
not any more violent than the elec
trical reatment used by medical
meri for rhcumalsm. I would have

Insufficient, although It would hurt

scare them. Mental punishment, you
know, Is more effective than mere
physical punishment.
