cessful in the other cities, although the
Democrats succeeded in electing may
ors in Chicopce, Lawrence and Woburn.
In, Chicopee, Mayor James Fl. Lewis,
the Republican candidate, was defeat
ed by Charles A. Buckley. a Democrat;
while all the candidates in Lawrence

DoWIE WINS OUT.
Receivers Appointed for Zion
City Are Discharged.
"Elizah Il" Makes Satisfactory Ar
rangements With His Creditors.
Bankruptcy Proceedings Will Also
Probably Be Dismissed.

Chicago, Dec. S.-John Alexander
Dowie is again in control of Zion City
and all it's industries. This turn, in the
affairs Of the head of the Christian
Catholic church followed 4 financial
showing made, this afternoon. which
satisfied the creditors. who immedi-
ately made formal motion before
Judge Kohlsaat to have the receiver
ship appointed by the United States
district court. a week ago, dissolved.
AS no objection was offered to the mo-
ton by any of the creditors, Judge
kOhlsaat granted the request and Re-
ceivers Blount and CurEier were dis
charged.
While the receivers have been re-
lieved from further duties at Zion City,
the bankruptcy proceedings are still
maintained. 1t is likely. however, that
these will be dismissed in n day or two
or as soon as the creditors committee
has an opportunity to report on ~the
ACCESSIBILITY of accepting Dowies offe:.
of settlement. This provides for pay
1nent Of all merchandise accounts
within one year and the giving of notes
in the meantime, bearing per cent
interest.
BY the terms of the agreement
Dowie has agreed to pay all the eX-
penses Of the receivers.

BRIEFS FILED
With Supreme Court in Northern Sc
curities and Northern Pacific Cos.

Washington, Dee. S.--i,iiefs in be-
half of the Northern Securities Co. and
the Northern Pacific Railway Co. in
the case OF the United States VS.. those
two companies and the Great Northern
Co, were filed in the United States
supreme court today. The brief of the
Securities Co. is by George W. Young
and that of the Northern Pacific Rail
way Co. by G. w. Bum. Mir. Young s
brief is a document of over 800 pages
end in it he traces infinitely the Origi;,
OF the merger. On the question of
consolidation in the Securities Co., MI.
Young says:
Its ownership OF the shares of the
two railroad companies no more con-
solidates or pools or merges those
shares or the two companies or their
property, than the ownership of two
pieces of real estate by the same per-
son cOnsolidates them or the title to
them"
He asserts that 'the only combina =
ton of which there is any evidence,
is a combination formed in aid of
commerce to liberatc. protect and en-
large. and not to restrain it. and which
has liberated, protected, aided and en-
larged it and has not restrained and
does not threaten to restrain"
The brief of Mr.. Bum is an argu-
ment to show that the action of The
two railways did not come within the
antitrust act.
