ant World Has Known.

ant World Has known.
Chicago, Oct 13.-zion City slept on
it's arms tonight, town of religious
frenzy and military preparation. When
it awakes tomorrow half the popula-
ton will become crusaders and move
on New York. and the other half will
drop on their knees to pray for the
success of the restoration host"
When the Zion fire whistles blow to-
morrow morning at 8 o'clock every
resident of Dowie's town will drop to
his knees and pray for the success of
the expedition. AS soon as the prayer
is finished the first of the nine trains
will pull out for Chicago on what Is
claimed by Dowie to be the greatest
and most important crusade the world
has ever known. At half hour inter
walls the other trains will leave Zion
City, and at Chicago each will be trans
ferred to the road, which is to carry
it's crowd East.
All the crusaders have made heavy
sacrifices for the trip. They win leave
an impoverished town behind them.
The people at home have been COM
manded not to get sick and new sets
of officers have been provided to look
after them. Dowie's train will be the
last to leave, and it's departure will be
signal of the closing of a portion of
the schools and factories.

DAMAGE TO MILLS
WILL REACH S1,000,0O0.
Pnssaic, Rid of Water. Is Ready to
Start Work.


Start Work.
Passaic, N. j., Oct. 13.-The water is
receding rapidly now in the flooded por-
tons of the city and a majority OF the
homes in the Dundee section wi lie
high and dry in twenty-four hours. N
the municipal building last night,
seventy-five persons were cared for.
No subscription list has been opened
here for the sufferers by the food, the
expense for caring for them be ng borne
by the city. 1t is thought probable
that within another day only about a
dozen persons will be dependent upon
the authorities for assistance.
The death list of the flood VIC inns
here numbers three.
The loss to mill property here now is
figured at $1.0Qn000 and it my go
higher Some of the mills aIe expected
TO be in operation again before the
week is out and by the end of the next
week almost all will be at work again.
1t is expected that the city will have
a supply of gas before the end of tie
week The electric power house will
probably start up tomorrow, as re-
pairs are being made rapidly. The
power now used is supplied from
Paterson.
Milk trains are arriving after no d
up of three days and there is no lack of
provisions.

HAYWOOD CASE
NEARLY ENDED.

night.

Will Go to the Jury Probably To-
night.
Raleigh, N c., Oct. 19.-To-morrow
is the last day for argument of the
Haywood Skinner trial. Senator Don
Gillian for the state to-day concluded
his argument, in which the contention
was pressed that Haywood shot at
Skinner, who had struck him. but who
was leaving with his back to Haywood,
and that as Skinner turned the second
shot was fired. Gillian had started to
show malice and motive when Judge
PEBBLES stopped him, and said if he
continued in that line he would have TO
sit down.
Capt. w. H. Day spoke forcibly in
behalf of the defense, urging that Hey
wood shot only when his life was in
danger, and that the states witnesses
contradicted each other while the
states attorneys did not agree in their
theories advanced.
Solicitor Walter E. Daniel closed for
the state in a review of all material
witnesses. He held that the testimony
of Simms and Briggs for the defense
would give a verdict of guilty of man
slaughter and that the evidence of
Schmitz and Hocutt had been entirely
discredited by their conflicting state
ments to many people.
Tomorrow Col. 7. NJ Argo closes
for the defense. 1t probably will be
night beore the case reaches the jury
Before closing tonight, Col. T. M.
Argo began his argument for Haywood,
urging that the state ought never 20
have asked for a verdict of murder in
first degree, and that self-defense was
evident.

Power of Comforting Citizenship

Chicago, Oct. 13.-A special from
Tacoma, Wash, says:
Startling violations of the new ma
turalization law at Chicago and else
where have been brought to light by
c. d. C. VanDusen, a special agent
of the Department of Justice, who has
just completed a trip of inspection
across the continent.
Mr.. VanDusen declares that the pro-
vision of the new law which prevents
any one with anarchistic beliefs, in
clinations or tendencies from becoming
a citizen has in many cases been ig-
nored.
AS result President Roosevelt, it is
said, will recommend to Congress a
radical change in the law, so as to limit
the right of comforting naturalization
to the federal courts. 1t is under
stood that the President will favor d
permanent commission to question the
applicant when one for citizenship APP
pears, take other testimony. If neces-
sary. and report the result of the ex-
animation to the Judge
One Chicago judge is found to have
admitted 1900 foreigners to full citizen
ship in one evening, an act which would
have been physically impossible unless
the oath were administered to the APP
plicants in platoons and the law pre-
sumes that the oaths shall be admin
istered to each individual separately.

ing injunctions ever issued by an Ohio
court. 1t was directed against the
Hamilton Typographical Union, the
Hamilton County Operatives Trades
and Labor Council, and the Nonpareil
Printing Company. publishers of the
County Trades organs.
The defendants are enjoined from
continuing a boycott on the Repub-
lican- News, or firms which advertise
in it, and ordered that interference of
every sort with the company's bust
ness must stop. The court said the
constitution gave any company the
right to employ whomsoever they saw
AT. The boycott was to force the plain
tiff to unionize and abandon its open

London. Oct. 13.-With what Secre-

a real land to all Americans the
members, council and attaches of the
Alaskan boundary tribunal were en-

at the Mansion House tonight.
Almost all those associated with the

proposed the toast The Alaskan

coupled the names of Lord Alverstone,
Secretary Root and Sir Lewis Jette. He
declared that the present method of
the submission to a tribunal of a dan
gerous dispute between two great ma
lions would be lasting lesson of peace
to the world.
Lord Chief Justice Alverstone, in re-
plying after having feelingly referred
to the death of Sir Michael Herbert.
said that though the tribunal was not
an illustra ton of arbitration, it was
IAN honest and patriotic attempt to
solve by mutual discussion subjects
which might become serious"
Secretary Root followed with a bril-
llant speech. Amid intense silence he
depicted Sir Michael Herberts sweet

Some thought. continued MIR. Root,
that the Americans and Canadians
came to London because Alaska was
wonderland of claimants, but the
greatest object Lesson of the whole p~o-
ceedings was that the United States
had such trust in Great Britain thu t
she was willing to meet and discuss
the question vital to her, nor in a neu-
trail capital, but in a capital belonging
to one party to the controversy.
In a humorous vein Mr.. Root said
that they felt even at home, that
doubtless the fiscal controversy had
been especially raised at this time for
the benefit of the American members
of the tribunal Then analyzing the
arguments of both political parties in
England, he added amid shouts o.:
laughter:
Nothing could be more delightful to
us than to find our country simultan-

international free trade and of too sue
cessful protection"
Reverting to the tribunal, the speak-
err said that it was the best testimony
to the good sense and excellent judg-
ment of "Anglo-Saxon race"
