Quebec OmciaIs Thought Arrests Were
n Case of Abduction.

n Case of Abduction.
MONTREAL. May 15.-The pursuit of the
tug Spray by the Quebec authorities is
probably due to misunderstanding of the
situation, owing to the quick arrests there.
The provincial police at Quebec evidently
think Gaynor and Greene were kidnapped by
American officers. Donald McMaster, coun-
sci for the United States government, who
planned and directed the arrest returned
from Quebec this evening. "A legal arrest
was made in a legal way" he stated.
"Gaynor and Greene are wanted here to
answer to a charge laid before an extradi-
ton commissioner. The people of Quebec
who are raising so much fuss must misun
derstand the whole thing. There has been
no kidnapping"
Marion Erwin, of Macon. Ca, district at
torney for the Southern district of Georgia.
swore out warrants calling for the arrest
of Gaynor and Greene. The eXtradition of
past been attended with great deal of diff
ficulty, and so Mr. Erwin, following out
plan of action devised to secure possession
of the two men, laid his information in the
Montreal courts. The warrant was then
intrusted to Chief Carpenter, of the local
detective bureau, who, with some of his
assistants, went to Quebec and this morn
ing arrested the men, placed them on board
q tug and started for this city.

ers says: THE tug Spray, with Chief Car

NO REGULAR DOCTOR PRESENT

Medical Attendance Not Asked by the
Dying Girl, Whose Father Prayed
for Her All Day.

CHICAGO, May 15.-Esther Dowie,
daughter OF DIR" Alexander Dowie, pro-
prietor of 'Zion," died last night of burns
having suffered for hours while Elijah
H. prayed over her. Miss Dowie was
twenty-three years old and a student at the
University of Chicago. Yesterday morning
her hair caught fire from gas jet, and her
head and face were horribly burned.
Nurses placed salve on the patients
wounds, as the Dowie doctrine allows of
the use of medicine externally. Mean
while the divine healer was hurrying to
the bedside from his new city of Zion at
Waukegan. On his arrival the attendants
were excluded from the room and Dowie
sunk to his knees in prayer. His supplica-
ton lasted all day. He refused to cease
even to take the nourishment which his
followers would have pressed upon him.
The patient was unconscious much of the
time and died at o'clock in great agony,
having returned to consciousness a short
time before News of the death was not
given out until to-day, when the coroner
was notified.
At the inquest "Dr." Dowie was the first
witness. He frequently broke down under
his grief. He declared that his daughters
night robe had been burned from her body,
and that vaseline had been rubbed on her
by Deacon Speecher's order. Deacon
Speecher has n license to practice medi-
cine. He declared that during the after
noon the patients condition had become
very serious and that DR.. Campbell. med
ical practitioner, had been sent for to con-
suit with DR.. Speecher. Campbell the wit
ness said, had said there was little hope
Dowie declared that when Esther regained
consciousness she asked Dowie to pray for
her. At no time he said, had she asked
for medical attendance. The jury then re1
turned a verdict that the death was due
to burns accidentally received.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The President
House, saying. in part:
II return, without approval, House bill
No. 4446, entitled An act for the relief of
Harry c. Mix The attorney general
writes me as follows concerning this bill:
a. F. Holt was postmaster at Valdosta,
Ga, and as such became a defaulter to the
government. Suit was brought on his Off
cial bond and the amount was finally re-
covered. Criminal proceedings were also
commenced against him, and he gave a
bond for his appearance at court. with
Harry c. Mix as surety thereon. The de-
fendant failed to appear and a forfeiture
was taken
The attorney generals communication to
the President then quotes Assistant Attor-
ney General William r. Leaken, who rep
resented the government in the proceedings
to enforce the collection of the bond so
given, in disapproval Of a release of the
bond, and says: Mr.. StrOhecker, who was
attorney for the defendant Holt and also
for Mr. Mix, in a letter dated March 21.

falcation can be obtained, and we can pro-

The attorney general then continues:
The defendant Holt, IL seems went 10

grand and impressive in the presence of
probably the greatest multitude that ever
gathered within the gates of the capital
city. AS if keenly conscious of the deep
sentimental and historical Importance of
the occasion, nature presented her calmest,
most serene aspect. The skies were never
clearer or of a richer Italian blue and the
sun never shone more brilliantly than
when the States distinguished sons as
sembled on historic Governors Circle to
pay the tribute of their homage and rev.
erence to the men whose blood and valor
cemented riven nation.
The occasion was productive Of pictures
that will never fade from the memories of
those who saw them, for the pictures were
living and the figures in the foreground
were the survivors of three of the coun-
try's notable wars. while in the background
were massed thousands of citizens who
testified by their presence and their cheers
the deathless esteem in which the veterans
are cherished. At intervals before and dur
ing the ceremonies of dedication the vast
throng seemed as one man TO realize that
here was an occasion the like of which
could never again be possible, and for a
brief instant a solemn hush of reverence
fell over the sea of humanity that surged
in Monument place and its four wide ap-
proaches.

Oakland and was in apparent good

men who twice defeated him as the

him as false teacher, and advised his
