FULLER TO BLOCK TAFT PROMOTION
Chief Justice Not Retire From Supreme
Bench During President
RooseveIt's Term.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 10
Chief Justice Fuller will not retire
from the supreme court bench during
the term of President Roosevelt.
This decision on the part of the chief
justice will make it impossible for the
president to appoint Secretary Taft as
chief justice, and the secretary af war
is strongly opposed to going on the
bench as an associete justice Unless
the president forces Secretary Taft to
go on the supreme bench as an asso-
ciate justice, he will remain in the cab
met and in all probability become a
leading factor in the next presidential
race.
Chief Justice Fuller is one of the
strongest partisans on the supreme
court bench He is a democrat and
was appointed by President Cleveland
Ills principal reason for deciding to
remain on the bench is that he does
not desire to give President Roosevelt
an opportunity to appoint a republican
as his successor.

Deposed Leader Tonight.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 10.-Dowie,
weary and worn from his long Journey
arrived this morning He is thin
emaciated and apparently wholly un-
able to enter a serious battle. A great
throng of people greeted the train with
cheers, catcalls and demands that
Dowie show himself
A deputy sheriff tried to serve a
writ on Dowie in the suit brought by
DIR. William G. Stearns, an expert on
insanity, who alleges that Dowie re-
fused to pay a bill of $500 for services.
The deputy was ordered arrested by
!. Dowie's followers The police detained
the deputy and examined his creden-
tials. When he was released it was too
late to serve the writ.
AS the train drew into the station
Dowie announced that he would not go
to Zion today, but would take matters
directly to the courts for adjustment.
He said:
Il am peacable, lawabiding citizen.
I have been wrongfully deposed from
my property. l do not care to fight in
the streets of Zion for restoration. 1
say my property in Zion belongs leg
ally to me and not to the church"
He is staying at hotel pending de-
velOpments.
Explaining his attack on his wife,
Dowie said he feared assassination and
he thought it time to make answer to
unprintable charges before he was pos
sibly murdered. His advisers plan to
take the position that Zion belongs to
Dowie and that Voliva is in the posi-
ton of a traitor, emulating Judas
IScariot.
voliva at Zion City says that Dowie
remained in Chicago because he did
not care to be snubbed in the day
time, but prefers to await darkness,
when he will be able to say that the
welcoming hosts could not get out"
H. L. Burdette. formerly acting COM
missioner of health at Zion City but
deposed by Voliva, has addressed a
stinging indictment to Voliva accusing
him of being a traitor against God,
Christ. Christian people and against the
-grandest leader ever raised up to lead
a religious organization" He calls
Voliva "trickster. cheap politician and
false prophet" 1t is reported that

bath to recuperate from his journey.
Dowie's Victims Are RevengefuI.


ZION CITY, Ill, April 1O.-'Tll shoot
Dowie when he sets foot here" shouted
a Zionist at the station at noon. MY
wife and children have been starving
for three months He's got $4O0 OF
my money. When 1 tried to get it he
gave me 81" 1t is this bitter feeling
of his victims that makes Dowie fear
assassination. Had Dowie come to-
day the frosty reception would have
pleased his worst enemy. Not half a
dozen people were at the station in
addition to reporters and police.
Voliva says in answer to Dowie's at
tack on Voliva's brother that his broth
er Arthur is the one who forged his
fathers name to note, served his time
and is now living a goodly life. He
says:
Il was named in Dowie's will as his
successor. Therefore it would be t.
my interests personally to await
Dowies DEATH which is certain to oc-
cur in few months at the least, but
the people are suffering and lions
finances are being wrecked

was a simple thing to advertise for
bids and after they were received the
council should carefully consider them
and then act.
Mr.. Turner said there was a feeling
among the citizens tfrtt matters were
going ahead in rather an uncertain
way He said he had utmost conf
dence in Mr. Thomson, but as it was
the peoples money being spent, all
expenditures should be a matter -
record. Mr.. Turner said he under
stood that Superintendent Knight was
to be put in charge of the work. This
would be a mistake, he said because
he was of the opinion that the super
intendent would have his hands full
looking after the city system.
Engineer Thomson said he would not
turn a hand until the council had pass
ed ordinances defining the full Nplicy
to be pursued.

Up to Council.

Mr.. Knight explained to the men
that he was unable to do anything for
them but submit their ultimatum to
his superiors. He told the men that
their hours of labor were cut down on
the instructions of Mayor Hunt after
that official had been warned by State
Labor Commissioner Hubbard that all
men engaged on public work could
not perform more than eight hours
labor each day.
The water committee has the subject
under consideration and will probabl!
recommend to the council that the
wages of the laborers be raised t.
about 81 cents an hour. which would
net the men $3.50 per day for eigh
hours work.

tenn either by contract or by day lab
or Engineer Thomson who arrived in
the city this morning to be present at
the meeting, stated that he was in
favor of the city doing the work its4,f.
Engineer Thomson cite,. many reasons
why the city could do the work better
than a contractor and pointed out that
in the city of Seattle, where continuous
pipe is laid almost exclusively, the city
does its own work. The first pipe line
laid in Seattle, he said, had be<n laid
by contract and had proven very un-
satisfactory.
Six members Of the Commercial club
committee were present at the meeting
this afternoon and the excavation of
the pipe line was widely discussed
Councilman Kirkman led off the dis
cussion by stating that he felt that
the only proper thing for the city to
do was to advertise for bids for doing
the work. He advised that the city
advertise and if bids were found to be
! foo high that thew he rejected and the
city do the work.

Would Know the Cost.

Glasford advocated advertising for
bids, stating that by so doing the
council would then know what the
work would cost He hinted that
otherwise the people would never know,
and cited as an instance that the cost
of certain work on upper Mill creek
last year had never been made public.
Glasford said, as a contractor, he knew
the work could be done Is per cent
cheaper than otherwise.
Engineer Thomson at this point
gave his view on the matter, stating
that if the city had selected wire
wound pipe he most certainly would
be in favor of doing the excavating by
contract The engineer stated that ii
would be almost impossible for con-
tractors to intelligently bid on the
work in regard to continuous stave
pipe. as there was no way Of aScer-
tanning how many times it would be
necessary to uncover the pipe. Cen
tractors, he said, would only bid or
work at so much per cubic yard anG
it had always proven unsatisfactory
as contention was continually arising
over the question of different classes
of earth and rock under which bid:

Company. on a week from next Mon
day. August 20. The plant is being put

The Gilman Canning Company expects
to begin it's pack at about the same
time.
In speaking of the prospective season
Mr.. A. II. Birchard, of the Marshall
Canning Company, said this morning
the pack this year would probably be
under the average, owing chiefly to
smaller acreage of corn having been
planted by the farmers. Almost all OF
the corn packed by the local factory is
contracted for with farmers, but the
total average this year is smaller than
it has been. The crop. however. prom
Uses to be of very fair quality altho some
of the seed corn has not developed into
the crop that it was expected
The packing season will continue for
about six weeks or more, and the local
factory while it is operating will en-
ploy sixty or more people.
