TEMPERANCE AGITATION.
The Whole Question of Prohibi-
tion May be Opened Again in

Iowa.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, March 27.-Pres-
ident j. H. Harvey, of the state tenn
perance Alliance took steps to-day to
reopen the question Of the prohibitory
constitutional amendment. This amend
ment was passed by the Eighteenth and
Nineteenth general assemblies of Iowa
and voted Oh by the people III. 1882 and
carried by 10000 majority. Owing to
clerical errors the amendment was
annulled by the state supreme
court and the present prohibit
tory law was then passed by the
general assembly. The Temperance
Alliance, through its president, still in
slsts that the amendment is part of the
constitution of the state, notwithstand-
Ing the decision of the supreme court.
The theory is that the question was
purely political one, and not legal
one to be passed upon by the courts.
The people having passed upon the
same IN their sovereign capacity re-
moved it from the jurisdiction of the
courts. In pursuance to this President
Harvey to-day demanded of secre-
tary of State Mcfarland, GER
tilted copy of the constitution
of the state including this amen ment.
Mr.. Mcfarland refused, on the theory
that the amendment was not a part of
the constitution, and therefore not
matter to be certified from his office.
Mr.. Harvey then had served upon
Secretary Mcfarland a notice setting
out that petition would be filed in the
district court asking writ of manda-
mus against the secretary compelling
him to certify as demanded. EX-Attor-
ney General Baker and United States
Senator j. F. Wilson, it is understood,
will be the attorneys for the Alliance.
Secretary Mcfarland, in consultation
with Attorney Gen. Stone and Gov.
Boies, will Immediately take steps to
make a defense in the case. The step
taken by the Alliance has caused much
surprise and is general topic of COM
ment. 1t means the opening up before
the Iowa supreme court of the whole
constitutional pr0hlbitory question. In
tereStlng developments are expected.

CINCINNATI, March 27.-At the meet
ing of the National league of baseball
clubs to-day at the Grand hotel there
were present President Young; A. H.
Sodenbergen, of Boston; Messrs. Rob-
inson and Hawley, of Cleveland, O'Neill,
of Pittsburg; Brush, of indianapolis
Talcott, of New York; Hart of Chicago,
and Byrne OF Brooklyn. The afternoon
was spent in secret session with an in
termission for lunch. The league dele
gates remained in session till s o'clock
tonight and then took a recess for sup
per, after which they met again at half
past nine. Nothing is known definitely
of what the purpose of this late meeting
is, but it is believed the question dis
cusSed and perhaps decided will be
whether OF not to turn the Cincinnati
club over to the company organized by
Byrne, of Brooklyn, said tonight to
that the matter under discussion
today was whether Al johnson could
make a good title to all that he proposed
to turn over to the league in the way
of franchise. etc., of the Cincinnati
grounds and club. This matter is in
the hands of Messrs. Paxton and War
ringtoD, their attorneys. from whom
they hope to hear tomorrow forenoon.
At all events, Mr.. Byrne says, the inter-
estS of Boston and Philadelphia in the
Cincinnati club franchise will be hon
orably respected and thoroughly
guarded in whatever conclusion is
reached in negotiations with Al john
son.

FLIGHT OF THE HEIRS. =
Over Two Million Dollars Taken
Out of Indiana to Avoid Taxa

DELPHI, Ind, March pa little over
year ago Abner II. B owen died at his
home in this city, leaving fortune,
mostly in personal property, of S5,000,
600. He had scarcely been buried when
the officials of this county moved Oh his
estate to collect back taxes on property
that had been hidden from the assessors.
and the series of rows it raised would
fill large book. The elder Bowen,
although possessed of millions, liSteu
for taxes only few thousands, but 50
great was his power that no man made
a move during his lifeume to compel
him to pay taxes on all the property he
owned. The Bowen heirs failed to agree
among themselves upon an admins
traitor, and the court appointed the
county treasurer. under the statute, to
act in that capacity. The heirs fought
his appointment as being inimical to the
interests of the estate, and took the
matter to the supreme court, but the
higher court decided against them.
The heirs kept up the fight until
Wednesday, when the attorneys for the
county filed statement with the aud
itor, asking that personal property to
the value of over $1,000, 900 be placed on
the tax duplicate against the estate of
Bowen. This demoralized them. They
secretly commenced to pack up their
possessions. Trunks, valiSeS. sachels
and boxes were brought into requisitiOn.
and in them were stored notes, mort
cages, bonds and stocks. With these
in their possession. the heirs departed
on the midnight train, and the widow is
now in Urbana, LII. Edward Bowen is
In Chicago, and A. Il. Bowen and Eta
Bowen are on their way to Philadel-
phia. All have given up their resi-
dence in Indiana except Nathaniel
Bowen, who retains the real estate. 1t
is estimated that the value of the prop
erty carried away is in the neigh
borhoOd of S2,0O0,000. When the
announcement of the retreat of
the heirs was made yesterday, no
one appeared more surprised than their
attorneys, who declare that they had
not received hint of the intended flight
of their clients. Two reasons are given
for the sensational move of the Bowen
heirs. They desired to get their pos
sessions out of the state before the as
SCISSOR came around next month to list
also figure on having the tax suits
transferred to the United States court
on the ground that they are non-resi-
dents. The bank in this city owned
and operated by the family is in the
hands of an assistant cashier, and is
meeting all obligations, many depositors
having withdrawn their money. 1t is
anticipated that when the news is gem
orally circulated in the country a run
will be made upon the Institution.

BULKELY RECOGNIZED.
Rhode Islands Governor Will
Honor His ReQuisitiOn.


PRovID ENcE, R. l., March 27.-Gov.
Bulkely, of Connecticut, wants the body
of Thomas Garnett. Under the seal of
his state, and in accordance with all the
official forms of eXtradltion, he has made
an official demand upon the governor of
Rhode Island for the surrender of Gar
nett. Garnett has been in the Rhode
Island state prison for three
years, and he prefers to stay
there rather than to have to go
Connecticut, for he declines to recOg-
niZe Bulkely as q lawful governor, and
he is desirous of all opportunity to con-
vince Gov. Davis that requisitions from
Bulkely should be ignored on the
ground that Bukely is usurper. The
requisition arrived this forenoon, and
at once gave rise to the question,
Bulkely as governor?' Considering
that Gov. Hill, of New York, had re-
fused to acknowledge Bulkely. or hold
any official intercourse with HIM, the
point was one of delicacy. To a
journal reporter (Dem.) Gov. Davis
said:
'.It seems to me have but one clear course.
This official document bears the seals of the
state OF Connecticut. | am aware that all
ONSI luG COuulIN, cSpeCldlIy COIIleCtl-
cut, the opinion prevails that Mr.. Bulkely is
n3t the lawful governor, but who is to de-
eide? My personal opinion is that Nor
ris is the lawful governor, and if his
signature, with the Official seal, were at
tached to these papers should not hesitate
to surrender Garnett. AS Bulkely is in DOS
session of the seals. Bulkely is governor de
facto, and l do not feel that | can properly
decline to recognize him as the executive.
S o have made up my mind to recognize the
alidity of the papers. l am now sending
the requisition papers TO the attorney general
o see if they are all right"

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 81. =
There was strange scene at the Chris
tian church tonight. An Cid man of
siXty-two, named Henry G. Berg, who
had for many years been a monk,
formally announced his renunciation of
the Catholic belief, and was baptized as
a member of the Christian church by
Rev. DR.. Lucas. the pastor. Mr.. Berg
ia SlXty-tWO years old, and native of
Germany. Before baptism he made
statement of the causes that led to his
leaving the Roman Catholic church.
He said that his first doubt arose in 1916
as to the doctrine of the infal!ibility
of the pope. He declared that in the
light OF the new testament he could not
accept the dogma of purgatOry transub-
sanitation the selling of indulgences
and the authority of the papacy. He had
taken the necessary VOWS of celibacy
and poverty on becoming a member of
the order and given his inheritance
amounting to 900 to the cause. He
stated that lie remained in the
order and followed its forms some
little time after he had begun to
doubt its doctrines. He had for
nineteen years been in monastery at
Milwaukee, and later in one at Colum-
bus. He was in the latter institution
when he decided to leave the order.
which he did about year ago. He said
that he feltssadly untitled for the the

Special to the Globe
PIERRE, S. D., March 27.-Gov. Nell
cite to-day issued a call for delegate
convention at Huron May 20 to provide
for representation of South Dakota at
the Columbian exposition. His procla-
nation recites that as the legislature
failed to provide for such representa-
tion, the people must devise ways and
means to secure benefits to the state to
be derived by proper showing OF her
resources to the world. He says no
state IN the union offers such advantages
to labor and capital in agriculture, min
ing and manufacturing, and no like op-
pOrtunlty will occur for a century to es-
tablish the fact. City councils and
county commissioners are requested to
select delegates to this convention upon
the following basis of representation:
One delegate from each Incorporated
city or village of 500 or more voters, and
one additional delegate for each 1,00O
voters or major fraction thereof. One
delegate from each county and one
additional delegate for each 1000
voters or major fraction there
of outside of Incorporated villages
or cities otherwise entitled to repreSen-
tation, Authority should be given for
delegates in attendance to represent the
entire county or municipality. and such
instructions and suggestions as may be
thought helpful. This call is made at
the request of many leading citizens
throughout the state. and 1t is hoped
the subject will receive the attention
which its Importance deserves.

La GRIPPE NTICROREs.
Chicago Comes Forward With the
First Ever Captured,


CHICAGO, March 26.-Dr. William d.
Gentry, of this city, claims to be the
possessor of a microbe of la grippe, the
first ever captured or even heard of.
The little wriggler is imprisoned on the
glass slides of DR.. Gentry'S big micro
scope, and was to-day carefully inspect
ed by many a scientific eye. Ever since
the grip made its appearance year ago,
the doctor said to-day, he has been on
still hunt for the microbes. if any eX-
listed. He found that thirty-four
years ago and again sixteen years
ago la grippe was epidemic among
human beings, and seventeen years
ago it attacked horses, causing the still
remembered "epiZootic." Owing to the
recurrence of the disease, DR.. Gentry
was inclined to believe that the earth,
at intervals, passed through stretch of
space impregnated with what astron
OmerS call "Star dust" -Four days ago
it occurred to him that he might trap
some of the dust, or microbes, or what
ever it was. Carefully polishing blank
slide, he took it out doors. and passed
it through the air. Placing the slide
under his microscope. which magnifies
fies 1.170 times, he counted sew
ell heretofore unidentified mi
crobes in the field of the
instrument. The creatures were very
lively and seemed to flow or swim up
ward toward the glass. Before the doc
tor could secure the microbes they had
disappeared. The next day, with Rev.
DR.. BiggS, of the Rogers Park Meth
odist church, DR.. Gentry tried again
and found more. Again they escaped,
but by using micro-glasses he secured
the next lot and had them mounted for
the microscope. HIS next step was to
procure some mucus from patient
afflicted with la grippe. A neighbor,
w. j. Jefferson, furnished it, and
to the delight of DR.. Gentry the
same sort of microbes were found in
the mucuS that had been caught in the
air-identical in every respect. The
grippe microbes, as described by DIR.
Gentry, are generally of a round form,
varying occasionally i'll outline. but
always distinctly marked by series of
seven lines surrounding them. Radiat-
ing from these lines are other lines,
which, in the magnified image, resemble
fine irregular hairs. DR.. Gentry's en-
tire time to-day was occupied in eXhib-
iting the microbes to brother physicians,
and in beginning a technical account of
the discovery for the benefit Of the pro-
feSSiOn,

New YORK, March 27.-Good Friday

tonight. AT All Souls church (Rev.
DR.. Herber Newton, rector, in Madi-

Brains.
North and South Dakota Pre-

SPOKANE FALLS, Wash, March 27.-
A double murder and suicide occurred
early this morning at the Casino Variety
theater. Charles Elliott, faro dealer,
who was occupying q box near the
stage, drew his pistol and fired several
shots at the performers. One bullet
took effect i'll the left breast of Mabel
De Babian, killing her almost instantly.
Another bullet lodged in the back of
Carrie Smith, also variety actress. in
flcting a fatal wound. Elliott then
placed the muZzle of his revolver in his
mouth and blew his own brains out.
His shots were intended for an actress
named Lulu Durand, who was on the
stage at the time, and of whom Elliott
was insanely jealous.
