Beats.
CHIEF COLLINS MAKE CHANGES


police force. and the necessary re-
arrangement of beats, there is COM
plant in some quarters about the
police protection. There Is but one
policeman on the union station beat
and but one on the Broadway beat
There Is dissension among the police
commissioners over the re-arrange-
ments.
Police Commissioner r. r. Suth-
erland does not think the board act
ed wisely in this matter, and "makes
no bones" in saying so.
81 want to let the public know
that did not approve of this ar
rangement. 1t did not get my support
in the board, and while do not wish
1t to be understood / am in the least
in favor of cutting the police force
l do desire to say that the action of
the board last night In placing the
men as 1t did Is disgraceful and was
not done for any benevolent purpose
by any MEANS" was the heated explo-
sion that emitted from the lips of the
well known commissioner this morn
ing when a reporter brought up the
subject.
Commissioner Sutherland is a con-
scientious official and has the inter-
est of the city at heart, letting no
party issues interfere with what he
thinks is right. He continued:
at was stated In the board meet
ing last night that a railroad official
had declared the depot needed no
protection other than one officer; but
| find that the man who said this is a
street corner gossiper who is merely
an employee of the road in a depart
ment standing apart from the road
proper. He owns no stock and has no
voice in the management of the road.
The depot beat Is one where all the
police protection possible to secure
Is needed. Detective Baker admitted
that the depot Is one of the best pla-
ces to catch criminals. More arrests
are made on this beat than any 9TH
err. and do not think 1t right to take
| the protection away from my family,
your family and the public at large.
The travelling public, even strangers
who come to Paducah, are our guests
and entitled to the same police pro-
lection we enjoy. and do not see the
wisdom in the action taken by the
board. 1t did not get my vote by any
means. l merely make this statement
to place myself right before the pub
lie. The force could have been rear
ranged with better results, but as 1t
is / can but feel that the commission
ers will be censured to no little sx-
tent"
The police force will remain as II
Is until the return Of Chief Collins
from Hot Springs. and 1t is thought
he will arrange the force to the best
advantage. Some acquainted with the
methods of policing, say that they be-
lieve Chief Collins will go back to
the old methods of working eight
men in the day and ten at night.
This will give the same number on at
night as formerly worked. 1t VIII

Zion City sleeps on Arms.

Zion City. H., April 1O.-Zion
City Slept on its arms" last night.
to quote one of Dowie's erstwhile
followers, awaiting the coming OF the
First Apostle" There is but one
subject of conversation and that Is
the possible eventualities when
Dowie again sets foot in the CON-
munity he founded.
Another meeting was held last
night in Shiloh Tabernacle and final
instructions given by Overseer Volivs
the new manager OF lions affairs
for the conduct of the loyal follow
ers OF the new regime when the de-
posed "Prophet" attempted to re
gain his sceptre.
Dowle was heralded as swooping
down on the city in a blaze OF wrath
declaring that an underling cannot
depose his creator. The onslaught
so far as last nights meeting showed,
Is awaited with depressed anxiety
but with outward composure.
With Voliva in the center OF the
stage and Mrs. Dowie on his right
hand, and overseers and deacons OF
the church urged the members to
shear Dowies entrance of any dra-
matte tinge by remaining away from
the railway station. busying them
selves as usual with the common
affairs of life as though there never
had been an Elijah H."
Dowie's Son Has Trump Card.
Gladstone Dowie last night re-
peated with solemnity the statement
he has often made of late, that II
The old man" insisted on a fight
he (Gladstone) still had a trump
card up his sleeve which was being
reserved for the crisis. What this
is has never been made public. but
the present management Of Zion APP
parently regard 1t as a trump OF
great potency inasmuch as scarcely
anybody thinks Dowie will lay down
his arms until thoroughly beaten. 1t
is expected this card will be thrown
face upward on the table when the
proper time comes.

recent rains are little better than

DOwie's Angle Room.
A curious angle to the Dowie
church was disclosed by Overseer

meeting. Dowie, according to Voliva
had a secret iron barred room in his
home which was for the first time
entered by an outsider today. ut
will surprise you to learn" said
voliva, shat in Shiloh House there
was the most curious room In Amer
lea. The car Of Russia may have
one. but who would think there was
one in the peaceful City OF Zion. We
knew there was a room always Kept
locked and into which Dowie him
self went seldom. We entered 1t to-
day but to do so We had to batter
through two iron doors. The room
was like a vault. except that the
bolts and bars were mostly on the In
side. Light came into the room
through a bulls eye window the out
side of which was protected by heavy
iron shutters. Air was admitted
through a funnel. There was bed
inside, a bed so curious I cannot at
tempt to describe it. and this ROOM
