In the small West Kootenay village of Krestova all was quiet today but the charred remains of five Doukhobor homes testified to the work of fanatical arsonists early Sunday morning. Tho four prisoners, all elderly members of the Freedomite sect, were - taking small amounts of nourishment but the remainder of the jailed Sons steadfastly refused to eat anything offered them. 1 From Krestova, Joe MacSween of The Canadfan Press reported that four of the homes burned before dawn yesterday were at Krestova, while the fifth was at nearby Glade. Later Sunday, some 50 men and women staged a parade in the nude, starting and ending at a crude meeting hall where they held a meeting to consider the arrest of their companions. The burnings followed ' the pattern of Sons activity In their long quarrel with man-made laws. The nude parade consisted largely of elderly people. They -chanted Russian hymns and prayed for the welfare of those In jail at Vancouver on The paraders. especially the women, hurled threats at pho- tograpners ana glared at re Ltera porters on on the tne scene scene. There was considerable commotion during the parade. Afterwards, the Freedomites returned; to ; their homes. They were accompanied during' the demonstration by a handful of orthodox Doukhobors who num ber in all about '8,000: . - ; The orthodox group seldom mixes publicly with the radical Freedomites.-Thelr -action-Sunday gave rise to speculation that the Sons have received recruits from the orthodox Doukhobors since the mass arrests. Object Revives Hope For Plane With Oilman A report of a balloon or parachute seen hanging from trees on the southwest tip of Wales Island by a Prince Rupert fisherman, has revived faint hopes that the Ellis Hall plane with four others aboard might yet be found. Roy F. Coswan of the troller Aurora reported shortly before press time today that he had seen such an object through good binoculars late last week. It was also seen by the crew of the "Marion H." If the object were a balloon it is likely to have come from Annette Island weather station as the prevailing wind comes from the northwest. Digby Island weather station does not send up meteorological balloons but Sandspit and Port Hardy do. A $30,000 reward was offered by the Coiidor Petroleum Company of which Hall was a principal owner, for anyone finding the missing plane. Aboard when It went missing on a tvip from Annette Island to Smithers were Hall, his wife, two children and a young 17-year-old youth from New Mexico. nb session he has 23 Rup(rt for many yeargi Alexan- woikinu malorltv ' u.i.! neh will keen 1,1m' i r, . i ......i e tuu in r-iiiii i; rviijn. 1 1, iiiw,iiii " Ji.us anyway.
