FRIENDS or THE rRopHHry
Effort to vacate the Zion City Re
 ceiYerahip.

| ce1V0fSnlp. .fsE
 l Chicago, Dec. 4.-Stronger proof of the
 fact that all John Alexander Dowfe's 8 creditors are not a unit in the desire to
 have his estate administered by the bank
 ruptcy court was given this afternoon. I Seven creditors representing claims of more than S10,0o0 filed an answer in the United States District Court in which they asked Judge Kohlsaat to inquire into the question of Dowie's solvency at once. They denied that the head of Zion City
 is insolvent or that he was in that condi- ton when the bankruptcy proceedings were begun against him. The lawyers
 who represent these seven creditors de-
 clare that additional claims amounting
 to close S1O00O0 will be united in the con-
 test against the bankruptcy proceedings. Simultaneously with the filing of these
 objectlons1 attorneys representing the
 $100OO0 claim of Samuel Stevenson,
 Dowie's brother-in-law, announced that
 they would appear in the Federal court
 tomorrow morning to ask that the origi-
 nal petitioners be required to give an in-
 demnifying bond in the sum of $2O0 000O. This request will be made, 1t is said, for the purpose of establishing something on which to ahold those who brought the Bankruptcy petition responsible fin the event the case is dismissed on a showing
 of Dowie's solvency.
 Al the same times OoWie s Tepresenta- lives will ask Judge Koblsaat to ordeB the receivers to vacate the lace factory at Zion City This industry is in charge of q corporation. and as Dowie is not tho
 sole stockhoIder, It will be urged that this concern ahould not, be controlled by the
 bankruptcy court Attorney Frank Hel. mer. who represents clients having claims
 of about $1Oo,OOO against Dowie. said to
 nights
 ''As nearly as can determine from an examination of Dowle's accounts he has
 assets worth at least $t0.0O0.O0O while the
 claims against him do not exceed $40O0OO.
 If such is the case, it Is wrong to com
 tinue the receivership"

owners as a whole. Most manufacturers here agree that the cotton situation ia the most critical for twenty-five years.
 Arnold B. Sanford, President of the American Cotton Yarn Exehange here. says:
 ''The situation is very serious and the outlook offers no encouragement. 1 can not see anything but a general curtail- ment The conditions confronting the in- dustry are the worst in many years. The mills will not manufacture at loss. They must. therefore, curtail production and re- duce wages. This will result, undoubted- ly. in great suffering.
 The one thing to be done under these circumstances to save the situation is for the manufacturers to get together throughout Ne& England and the South as well, for it cannot be done without concerted action. curtail production, re- duce wages and to break the present spec ulation by not buying cotton.
 Seldom in the history of the business has it been dificuit for the manufacturers and their selling agents to make terms acceptable to buyers and customers. This has been the cause of the poor de- mand and the poor price schedule.,
 Should no general curtailment in New England be agreed upon during the win ter, 1t is thought that the mills that are financially the strongest only will be able to keep all their machinery in operation. In Manchester, N. H., Lowell and. a number of Maine points, there is said to be large supply of old cotton on hand, but in Fall River and many Rhode Isl- and towns and elsewhere the amount Is limited. There are about 1900 cotton mills in the United States, with nearly 2, 100000 spindles. Of these. 570 mills. with nearly A,5O4.00 spindles, are in New England. About 2,1e2, 900 bales of cottor, are consumed annually In the Northern States. when the mills are all running.

Curious German pecree.

In Germany a severe blow has just been dealt to hypnotists. magnetic heal CTS and other so-called occuitIsts. A law has been passed prohibiting such persons from holding public seances and heavy fines are prescribed as penalties in cases of disobedience. The reason why such a measure has been passed, Is curious. "Seances given by magnetic headers and others" says the Jaw, ''are likely to arouse public prejudice against the per sons who are used as mediums on such occasions. and therefore 1t is ordained that no meeting of this kind shall be held in future" Moreover, the magis- trates throughout Germany have receiv- ed strict instructions to prosecute with the utmost viger any persons who pulp Hey practice hypnotlsm, magnetic heal ing or any other of the so-called occult arts.

 Tampa. Fla, Dec. 4.-President J. Skei- ton Williams and other officers of the seaboard Air Line, who are in South Florida on a tour of inspection. spent the day on a trip over their tracks.
 President Williams tonight was shown the special dispatch from Boston which said that H. M. Atkinson of Atlanta, might succeed Mir. Williams as President of the Seaboard Air Line Railway and that the old Colony Trust Company of Boston now controlled the system. In this connection he said:
 'The story is wholly untrue and entire ly without foundation. Such q change has never been suggested or considered. We are gratified to have our friends of the old Colony Trust Company consider ably interested in the Seaboard. but q controlling interest of the property is not owned in Boston"
 Afessrs, Blair and Coolidge confirmed the statements of President Williams. and added that the new interests in the prou- erty were friends of Mfr. Williams, who realized and appreciated the successfui results of his administration and that it was the desire and intention of the offl- cers of the property that Mir. Williams remain at the head of the system and that nothing else was contemplated,

 They declare that the name EIks has been copyrighted by the white lodges and that the charter of the colored lodges would be an Infringement. The Governor stated that if. proof to this effect could be produced he would not approve the charter. In the meantime he will sus- pend action in the matter until the proof shall be forthcoming.
