LUKE BEFORE
GRAND JURY
Head Of Collection Agency Ex-
amined For Few Moments.
WILL APPEAR AGAIN MONDAY
II. c. GRAW CASE WAS ALSO UN-
DER INVESTIGATION.
WILL APPEAR AGAIN MONDAY

T. G. Luxe. the head Of the Mer-
chants Protective agency, was a wit
ness before the special grand Jury late
yesterday afternoon. He will probably
appear before that body again Non
day as the inquisitOrs did not have time
yesterday to examine him as fully as
they desired.
About the middle Of the afternoon
County Attorney George Westervelt
left the jury room and IOitered around
the corridor of the building on the sec
ond floor for about half an hour. That
fact led to the rumor that the Jury was
discussing and balloting upon the Luke
case But the appearance later Of that
individual, who admitted that he was
there to testify, had a tendency to dis
prove the rumOr.
Before County Attorney WesterveIt
returned TO the jury room District At
torney Dennis G EicbnOT was seen 10
enter His presence before the in
QUlsitors was proof positive that some
matter other than the Luke case was
under consideration There are reasons
for believing that it was the alleged
embezzlement case against Henry c.
GraW- That suspicion was strengthened
by the presence in the city council
chamber Of two Smith-Premier type
writer people, W. Fl. Pearson of the
Denver, Colo, branch and L. r.
Smithers. who has charge of the Salt
Lake branch.
Discharged by Judge Diehl
Some weeks ago Graw was arrested
on the charge Of embezzling money
from that company. At his preliminary
examination before Judge Chris Diehl
he was discharged from custody on the
ground that there was not sufficient
evidence to convict. The presence of
Mr. Pearson and Mr.. Smithers in the
council chamber warrants the SUPPOSE
ton that=Graw' case is to be investi-
gated by the grand jury.
There we're a number of other wit
nesses before the jury during the day
They included several clerks employed
by the Luke agency. being Miss Nellie
G. Gleason. Mary A Jensen and Ida
Engberg- Miss Edith Rushton was also
a witness before the jury.
Former Justice of the Peace Gustav
krOeger said yesterday that the state
ment made some days ago that a rep
resentative Of the Luke collection
agency had issued subpOenas from his
Office during his absence, and gave
them to cOnstaoles to serve, was un-
true SubpOenas We're in all cases is
sued only by himself. He further de-
MED the story that he never intended
10 return to Salt Lake and testify be
fore the grand jury in the Luke case.
The former justice produced letters
written some days ago going to show
that he was perfectly willing TO appear
before the inquisitors, if wanted.

DIR. DOWIE MUST
NOW HEAL HIS HOST
ZION LEADER SURROUNDED BY
PNEUMONIA.
GREAT CRUSH AT MEETING
Thirty Thousand People Crowd at
Doors of Madison Square Garden in
Search of Excitement and Hun
dreds of Police Are Unable to Cope
With the Rush.

New York, Oct 22-Thirty thousand
people, the police say, tried to get into
the Madison Square garden to near
Dr. Dowie last night. One-third got in
and the crush among those outside
was so great that several hundred
police were for a time unable to cope
with the rush. Men and women were
knocked down and trampeled on and
many narrowly escaped death.
The meeting itself was quite tame.
Dr. Dowie described the Illinois Zion
and lauded its founder.
The board o. health, fearing the eff
feet of the epidemic of pneumonia
which has smitten the host of Dr.
Dowie. and dreading, as well, the
spread of other disease among the
restorationists and thence TO the pub
lie, because of the insaritary condi'
lions prevailing at Madison Square
garden, has practically decided to vac
cinate the entire 5000 followers of the
prophet.
AS DIR. DOwie and his followers are
disbelievers in the virtues of vaccina'
ton, the board of health physicians
look for merry time when the order
comes TO apply the virus TO the arms
OF Elijah and his people.
Fifty Zionists, among them Over
seer ]. o. Speicher, Dowie's right hand
man, are down with pneumonia. 1t is
believed that Mr.. Speicher cannot re-
cover.
DIR. Dowie is thoroughly disheart
ened because of the absolute failure
of his crusade. His host, too, shows
that it considers the mission a failure
and faces are gloomy.
DIR. Dowie announced yesterday that
he would not return to Chicago when
he left here, but would sail, with his
wife and son, on a tour around the
world.
Several hundred of the host are
quartered at the garden, among them
several of the sick ones. Health Com
missioner Lederle, with Police Com
missioner Greene and five board of
health physicians, made an unexpect-
ed descent on the garden early yes
terday morning. They found the Zion
lists asleep, but under conditions
which were most unhealthy.
They found that the number of per
sons huddled together in the sleeping
rooms on cots was so great as TO be
conducive toward the spread of dis
ease If continued. In these sleeping
rooms DR.. Lederle found that the win
dows were kept tightly closed and that
the air was vitiated and foul.
He ordered these arrangements
changed and also made suggestions
for improving conditions in the ktch-
ems and commissary department.
DR.. Dowie is likely to be obliged to
confine his healing powers to prevent
a wholesale harvest of death in his
own ranks. Already he regards the
invasion of New York as an absolute
failure.

ed because the woman of his choice
was shortly to be married to another
man, Alvin Bonner, who lives on a
homestead in the town of Veazie,

wrote a letter to his sister telling her
of his intention and informing her OF
the disposition TO be made OF his
property The money found in his
possession was to be used to defray
his funeral expenses. He requested
that his other property go to brother
living in Minneapolis. Having writ
ten the letter he sharpened a large
knife to use in case his gun should
fail to do its work. But a single dis
charge from his double barrelled shot
gun entered his breast and tore away
the apex of his heart, causing instant
death. Mr. Bonner lived alone upon
his claim which he filed upon only
last January. He was about 80 years
of age, honest, industrious and well
liked by the people of the community.
