DELAY FOR AMENDMENT.
Snag for One Taking Bonds from
Debt Limit Here.
TBy Telegraph 70 The Tribune. /

Albany, April u.-Assemblyman Moreland. the
majority leader and Assembyman Burnett delayed
in the Assembly to-day the Elsberg constitutional
amendment which seeks to take subway and dock
bonds out Of the New York City debt limit. The
bill was on tie order Of second reading. Messrs
Aoreland and Burnett said that if it were passed
al bonds issued by the city hereafter for rapid
transit ana waterfront improvements would not be
charged against the debt limit and in effect the lid
would be taken of expenditures, tending make
the city eXJrayagant and reckless.
senator t-lsberg maintains that since the Rapid
Transit bonds self-paying they should be
Included in The limit. Mr.. Shanahan and other
New York members declared that if the bonds were
excepted from the debt limit provisions many
more Rapid Transit roads might be built by the
city.
senator ElsbeIg was much put out al the delay
We'll II they want 70 prevent the building of
new subways, said ne. they're taking the surest
way 10 90 it, The city's debt limit will permit
any large expenditures for rapid transit The peo-
Die are ciamorlng for new subways, but the debt
limit has almost been reached. Subway bonds and
dock bonds pay FOR themselves. There is no rea-
son why they should be included in the limit"
The Impression prevails that the measure is to
lie Killed. BY Unanimous consent action on II was
postponed until Tomorrow.
The Young bill, which legislates the present
Rapid Transit Board Of Office and reorganizes
Ehe commission, was also delayed II was laid aside
on the plea Of showing courtesy 10 the introducer
who was absent.

MAY BE PEACE In ZION
Board of Arbitrotion Suggested
Dozoie Calls Son Degenerate.

Chicago. April 11-At the end of a day of con-
ferences between representatives of the OPP
posing interests of the Christian Catholic Church
in Zion, the statement was made late Tonight
that the whole controversy would probably be
settled by concHiation. Both sides to the dis
pute according to Emil C. Wetten, John Alex
ander Dowie's legal representative. are anxious
for amieable adjustment of the whole dispute
This announcement was made by Mr.. Wetten
tonight after a conference with Dowie, follow
ing wetten's return from Zion City. where he
held a conference with General Overseer Wilbur
Glenn volva and other leaders of the revolt
against Dowie
Mr.. wetten, who said that he spoke officially
for Dowie said:
The report that Dowie would seek redress in the
courts is entirely wrong. That will be our last re-
st; sort and am of the opinion tonight that there
VIII De no need to ask the courts for assistance.
Our plans are still only in the primary stage. but
be made to have the whole affair left to board of
arbltratlon, to be chosen from representatives, of
both sides
Dowfe lost an adherent to-day in Miss Eliza
beth McLennan. who accompanied him as a
nurse on his long journey to regain health.
Miss McLennan went to Zion City, after a
heated interview, in which she told Dowie that
she could no longer remain as a member OF his
party because she believed that Mrs Dowie and
Gladstone Dowie had been shamefuy maligned
by the first apostle in his speech delivered
from the car steps in st. Louis two nights ago.
In referring to a threat which it is asserted
that Gladstone Dowie made intimating that if
his father did not cease his attacks on Mrs
Dowie Gladstone would reveal certain occur
rences in Australia In 1877. Dowie to-day said
I remember nothing particular that occurred
in the year 1877. L know of no reason why any
exposure of my acts during that period of time
should cause me to be afraid. Coming to think
OF 1t, however, there is thing that happened
in the year 1877 which greatly regret and that
is that the Lord gave unto me a son. whom I
named Gladstone All my life I've tried to give
my efforts in leading him in the paths that
would have him walk have been without avail
Now, unless this young ceases making
these threats and nsinuations, I will be forced
to reveal his true character to the world: it will
be a story of degeneracy that will be shocking.

Casey is called for at nearly every per-
