J. Bulgin, evangelist, preach on "Our Problems," or "The Problems that FERRY WORKER IS EARL OF OXFORD SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7. — A man rather "meek and mild" went about his duties today at the Sausalito ferry station. He is Thomas Arthur Lawrence, for 45 years an American ferry and railroad worker, who claims the title of Earl of Oxford, and thru whose claims King George of England last week was forced to change his plans to make Herbert Henry Asquith, former British premier, Earl of Oxford, to the new honor of Earl of Oxford and Asquith. A romance of years ago when a gamekeeper dared to aspire to the hand of a lovely daughter of an English earl was revealed today as hidden in the claims of the California ferry worker that he and his nephew, Captain Samuel Hiram Lawrence, former Canadian soldier and now a resident of San Francisco, are heirs to a $250,000,000 British estate and to the title of the Earl of Oxford.

"Prophetesa" Margaret Van, whose prediction of the world at midnight to materialize, was sought Evangelist Will Speak Sunday Afternoon To Klansmen A good-sized crowd despite the rain last night heard Dr. E. J. Bulgin, evangelist, preach on "Our Problems," or "The Problems that Confront the Christian Church." His text was taken from Mark 1:9: "My Name is Legion, for We Are Many." The weather was bad, and the crowd was not so large as usual, but supporters of the revival had a great meeting. The singing was led by Alvin Carter who, however, was called away on business before the meeting was over. Carter and Gourley sang a duet, and Mrs. E. Elaner of the Evangelical church choir sang a solo. Dr. Bulgin said one of the worst foes that the church must meet is infidelity in universities, colleges and the higher crite ministry. The way to reach the masses, he said, is to give them the pure gospel, that evolution only drive people further from Christianity. "Too many preschools and Christians are playing tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum with the devil. The time demands and Christianity demands that passfooting in religion must stop." Preschern and taymen and professors alike should stand for real Christianity." Five came forward at the close of this service. Tonight is family night, and prizes are being awarded for the two largest families in attendance. The whole family must sit together. Bulgin's subject tonight is: "The Cities of Refuge," or a historical review of the Old Testament. Bulgin regards this as one of his strongest argumentative lectures. The revival closes tomorrow night. Three services are announced for the day, one at 11 a.m.; one at 2:30 p.m.; and the last one at 7 p.m. Bulgin's subject for the 2:30 service is: "Good Advice to Klansmen." The lecture is especially to Klansmen, but members of the Masons, I. O. O. F., and other secret organizations, and the public at large are invited. Rev. Leon L. Myers, cyclops of the local klan klavern, said that there will be no klansmen in robes. Tomorrow a freewill offering will be collected for Bulgin, who has received nothing to date, and has been promised nothing. Members of the finance committee, however, urge the people make him a liberal offering commensurate with his work here. During his four weeks here he will have delivered 30 lectures of about two 1 KILLED, 9 INJURED IN EXPLOSION FORT LEE, N.J., Feb. 7—Sullivan Joy, volunteer fireman, was killed and nine other firemen were slightly injured when an explosion in the Evans Laboratories caused the building to collapse here today.

Rowan, "prophetes," of the Reformed Seventh Day Adventist Church. As far as the layman was like any other midnight, with the possible exception that a light mist of rain was in evidence. Just what Mrs. Rowan has to say in explanation for the failure of her "vision" was problematical today as she was in exclusion and could not be reached for a statement. However, it was learned that shortly before the midnight hours she led a group of devout followers to a point near Pasadena where they waited patiently for the "sign" to appear for the end of the world. Mrs. Rowan may have received the sign forming the end of everything earthly, but if such was the case it was revealed only to her and her followers. Dr. B. E.

William Mitchell, assistant chief of the air service, and the conservative heads of the army and navy reached a point today where Washington began to look for some official heads to fall. One of them may be Mitchell's Another may be that of Seey of the Navy Wilbur. There may be others.

The bus did not upset. Two of the five were seriously hurt, and all were taken to the Belveder Gardens hospital. The woman fatally hurt was rushed to the Receiving hospital in Los Angeles, where she had not been identified an hour after the accident. She is thought to have been a resident of Whittier.

LOS-ANGELES, Feb. 7.—An unidentified woman was killed in a motor bus accident on Whittier Blvd today, and six were injured.

GASOLINE BLAST IN AUTO CRASH WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.—The row between Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, assistant chief of the air service, and the conservative heads of the army and navy reached a point today where Washington began to look for some official heads to fall. One of them may be Mitchell's. Another may be that of Secy. of the Navy Wilbur. There may be others. This conflict between the advocates and opponents of a greater air service, seething beneath the surface ever since the bombing tests off the Virginia Capes demonstrated the feasibility of sinking a battleship from the air, surpasses anything peacetime Washington has ever witnessed. Pres. Coolidge must ultimately be the arbiter of the row. It was said by administration officials today. For an officer o Gen. Mitchell's rank and station to publicly accuse his superiors of inefficient handling of a great arm of national defense, and to deliberately accuse the navy of "faking", and fooling the public, constitutes a situation that long cannot be ignored by Pres. Coolidge in his role of commander in chief of both services. Mitchell's closest friends in the service declare that he has decided to "sacrifice himself" and his position in order to cause an official shakeup that will inevitably lead to a greater air service. They confidently expect that Mitchell will be relieved of his post as assistant chief of the air service by March 26, and demoted to a colonel, if indeed he is not courtmartialled on charges of insubordination and indiscretion. The belief prevails that Pres. Coolidge will have to make an example of the defiant brigadier general for "the general good of the service." To allow Mitchell to get away with such charges would, it was pointed out, probably inite others to break disciplinary bonds on occasion, resulting generally in a situation that would be bad from a morale standpoint.

When Miss Neeley married Seale in Riverside in 1923 she was but 14, the mother claims, and she could not legally have wedded whether she had the parents' consent or not. Mrs. Neeley's action, court attaches recalled, is but one of many that have been brought to official notice in Orange-co. The next to the latest, filed early this week, was brought by the Scales against Mrs. Neeley and her son Ray, and besides asking for damages demands that a restraining order be issued enjoining the parents from alleged interference with the newlyweds. Shortly after the marriage Mrs. Neeley had Scale arrested on grounds of perjury in obtaining the license. It was understood that the mother later became reconciled and the criminal charge was not pressed. But Scale was compelled to come into court again, he alleged, because, it was claimed, the mother and son had "kidnapped" the bride and was holding her in their La Habra home. In their suit the newlyweds maintained that even tho they have moved to Long Beach and Los Angeles the parental interference has not ceased, adding that they constantly are "on edge" awaiting some future move.
