Court Finds His Meth
ods Contrary to the
Public Policy.
AFFECTS ALL
HIS ENTERPRISES
Based on False Pretense,"
Says the Court--The Zion In
stitution Badly Up
Against IL.

Chicago, Jan. 31.--John Alexander
Dowie, founder of the city of Zion,
Is up against it. Through decision
of Judge Tuley today the whole fabric
of his enterprises involving millions
of dollars may be swept away.
The decision came In connection
with the Zion lace receivership case,
The ruling is that this industry as
carried on by Dowie is contrary to
law and public policy. The court ap-
pointed Elmer Washburn receiver of
the plant.
Suit in this case was brought by the
Christian Catholic church against
Dowie and the evidence introduced
showed that Dowie's method of con-
ducting the business was fraudulent
and based upon false pretense
AS many other concerns in the
Zion city are conducted on exactly the
same basis, this decision establishes a
precedent whereby the whole system
of Dowie's industrial administration
may be summarily discontinued.

ED. BIDDLE'S POWER
over The WOMEN
Marvellous Power Upon Those
of the Weaker Sex With
Whom He ca me in Contact.

Pittsburg, Feb. 3.-Edward Blddle'l
power over women is the strangest
part of his strange record. His latest
feat, that of influencing Mrs. SOffcl
cannot be related in its entirety. Sto-
ries in regard to it which are consider
ed reliable are unprintable.
The first question asked is, "Why,
If the guards knew of Ed. Biddle's
alleged relations with the warden s
wife, they did not tell Soffel?" There
was a published report, some tim
ago, that the woman was carrying en-
tirely too much fruit, etc, to the con-
demned murderers. Soffel did not like
the yarn bit and told the keepers that
his wife was trustworthy and had the
freedom of the place. That was
enough. No keeper mentioned the sub
ject again. Soffel whose honesty is
beyond reproach, was simply deceived
and In a most cruel manner.
The way Ed. Biddle he'd Jessie

of robbery and murder was at its

DEEPER THE SNOW
HIGHER THE PRICES
liverymen Take Advantage Of
the Opportunity TO Exact
Heavy Tax for Cutters.

The 1iverymen on Sunday were not
slow to take advantage of the extraor-
dinary demand for sleighs. Prices
went up by afternoon when the de-
mand could no longer be supplied and
young r,en who had made reckless
promises to young ladies had to dig
deep in order to make them good.
The liverymen defend the stiff prices
that are charged for cutters by the
explanation that the days when sleigh
ing is good are SO few and far between
when they are presented.
The excellent foundation upon which
the snow fell furnished ideal sleighing.
All day Sunday the merry jingle of
bells filled the air with music and the
sight of handsome tournouts filled with
that they must grasp the opportunities
happy people dashing swiftly along the
streets was most inspiring one.. The
girl whose best beau possessed good
horse and sleigh or had the cash and
the pull" to get one was supremely
happy and an object of envy to all the
less fortunate of her sex. To all who
had the means and the inclination to
enjoy 1t the day was very able carni-
val of winter pleasure.

ON THE STREET RAILWAY.
The severity of the storm was felt
in all traffic circles and the Canton
street railway people were having
their troubles along with the rest.
The snow seriously interfered with
the operation of cars early Sunday
morning and it took some time to get
things Strengthened out SO they could
make their trips on schedule time.
Many of the cars were equipped with
kind OF. snow plow and after few
runs the tracks were pretty we'll
swept off, but the high wind during
the day kept the snow continually
drifting and covering up the tracks
again. A mixture of snow and ice
covered the rails also, making 1t hard
to keep the car wheels from slipping
and it was thus almost impossible to
maintain schedule runs. Sunday night
was another bad time, but aside from
the uncomfortable coldness every.
thing today is moving with its accus-
toned smoothness.

three days before they can make their re-

DR.. Houston spent part of the day here,
returning to Bolton tonight. He has given

the last words the missing man spoke
were:
'T am going of here and look around"
Thus speaking he pointed east and almost
directly from the railroad.

doctor, land examined the compass. Mr..
Egan remarked that Bolton was almost due

TROOPS READY TO oUELL RIOT
French Miners Likely to Grow ViO-
lent Now Arbitration Award
il Rejected.

PARIS, Nov. 9.-The government is TAX
ing precautions to handle another outbreak
of the striking miners in case the decision
to continue the strike is followed by vio-
lence.
Troops were active in the mining regions
throughout the day, but no serious dis
orders have as yet been reported. The au-
thorities believe that the crisis in the
strike is near and that the next twenty
four hours will either see the strike con-
solidated or the men struggling back to the
mines.
Following the decision to continue the
strike there were disorderly occurrences in
Lens last night The cavalry repeatedly
charged a crowd OF $1,000 riotous miners
and succeeded in preventing them from
advancing. ....
At Courrierses houses of non-strikers
were sacked and a number of coal wagons
were burned.
A clash between strikers, gendarmes and
cavalry is also reported from Cleremont
Ferrand, but it was not attended with
serious results.
In some districts the miners are likely
to return to work tomorrow in spite OF
the decision to the contrary.

NEGRO IDENTIFIES MASON
Says Suspect Gave Him Murdered WOmen's
Watches to Pawn.
WALKS RIGHT up AND NAMES HIS MAN
Says Conversation is Unnecessary, ~
He is sure, Though Others Deny
Seeing His Black Accuser
Ever Before.

BOSTON. Nov. s.-George L. o. Perry,
the negro who pawned the watches taken
from the murdered women, declared today
that Alan @. Mason gave them to him.
Perry was taken to the Jail in East Cam
bridge, where Mason is confined, and posi-
lively identified him as the man.
Mason, however, betrayed no recognition
Of Perry by either look or word, and when
questioned by the sheriff he merely said:
81 do not know this man, l never saw him
before"
During the day Perry was further exam
ined and later taken to the Jail. The
callers were shown into the room where
Mason and six others we're In line. Perry
walked up to Mason, who was second in
position, and, pointing his finger at him,
said: This is the man who gave me the
watches to pawn"
He was about to leave the room when
the sheriff asked him II he would not like
to talk with Mason in order to make sure
his Identification was correct. Perry re-
piled there was no need of that as he
knew who the man was and had known
him for a long time.
Another visitor at the police station was
Mason's attorney and a woman. They did
not see Perry, but 1t was understood the
the defense in the hope OF showing that
Perry himself, or some other negro, was
the real Jack the slugger." She was one
OF the women who was followed by negro
in Cambridge several weeks ago.
Mason's attorney believes Perry, having
to account for his possession of the
watches, adopted the simple plan of throw
ing the blame on a man already under ar
rest and whom he had seen on the streets
of Cambridge and could easily identify.
The fact that the negro accused Mason
of giving him the watches has not con-
vinced the police that the mysterious
crimes are solved.
BY arrangements made tonight Perry
will be arraigned tomorrow at Cambridge
on. the charge Of being an accessory after
the fact.
The police say he was once confined at
the Lyman School for Boys, having been
convicted Of sssaulting and robbing a
young woman in this city. It has also
come to light that on July II Perry, who
was then employed as the driver of a
mail wagon. was missing. II was on this
date that Ellen Murphy was assaulted.
