punishment. "Several of these gatherings have been broken up by the

Four
Priests to Tie This Knot |
Morris Afanasi Bezayiff and Pauline / Los Angeles
(1198 words) Description of wedding in Flats on Banning Street. The
couple divorced by 1920. 2
ERRORS: "There were two priests there – one
for the groom and one for the bride." Only one "presbyter", not a
priest, conducts the service, the others are honored guests who stand
next to the presbyter in-charge. The headline says 4 priests, the text
2. Presbyter is
the presiding elder, a lay-minister, a volunteer; not to be confused
with a a priest
which in many
religions is a full-time assignment.

Bank / Los Angeles, El Paso TX, Sinaloa MEX (715
words) Wealthy investors bought 500,000 acres (781 sq. mi.) in Mexico
to relocate up to 50,000 expected Molokane. "More than 2000 of the
Molokane here are ready to move. ... failed to adapt themselves to city
life. ... are not desirable citizens ... bewhiskered Slavs cannot
compete with their American brothers." NOTE:

Doctor Treating Molokane Has to Fight

Strange Things Occur in Local Russia |
/ (1570 words, illustration)
2000
Molokane lived in poor conditions and ignore health and safety
laws. 42 living in a 10-room house at 310 Amelia Street. “We find here
more law than we ever knew.” "Most annoying ... marriages. They
won’t get licenses." Children died because parents spread insect
powders on food. Doctor punches father to treat daughter. Policeman
saves doctor from attack after child dies. "They are the simon-pure Henry Georgeists when
it comes to political economy. ...for the most part vegetarians. ...
Russia tea ... with molasses." 4
ERRORS: (1) "They come
from that part of Russia near Poland." Maybe confusion with Polish
Jews. LA Jumpers and Molokane fled from the Caucasus. (2)
"...offshoots
from the Greek
Catholic
Church". Molokane dissented from the Russian
Orthodox Church. (3) "Today there are 5000 of the people in this
city."
An accurate census was never tabulated, but is closer to 2000. (4) "...
there is no cross kissing ..." Journalist probably only saw good-bye
kisses on
the street.
