ARE MUCH CONCERNED
Private Banking Houses Fear Results
to Themselves of Shaw's Plan Con-
cerning Gold Importations.
[By Associated Pressl

New York, April 16.-Secretary
shaw's plan to allow banks to fore
stall arrival of their gold imports by
withdrawal of it's equivalent in cash
from the United States subtreasury,
upon deposit of bonds as security, was
much discussed in the financial dis
trict today.
Some of the private banking houses
which deal in foreign exchange and
which have been accustomed to i'm
port gold, declared that SO long as the
secretary's plan remained in opration
tehy would be unable to make any
further importations, as they have not
the same facilities as national banks
for carrying large blocks of bonds to
offer as security. Their business, they
asserted, would be ruined under this
plan.

from Venezuela say that the action of
General Castro in retiring from the
presidency in favor of Vice President

Seceders Make Final Proposal to
Deposed Prophet.
TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Overseer Will Submit Matters in Dispute
to Board OF Arbitration.
by Associated Pressl

Chicago, April 16.-General Over
seer Wilbur Glen Voliva and his fol
lowers today presented an ultimatum
to John Alexander Dowie, at con
ference of opposing forces. Through
their attorney, Jacob Newman, the fol-
lowing terms have been proposed:
"You are to appoint committee of
four Or eight members by which this
entire matter is to be settled. Two
members of this committee shall be
appointed by advocates of the cause
of Dowie, two shall represent Voliva.
In case that the committee shall con-
sist of eight members, each side will
have the appointment of four. Should
there be disagreement in either case a
fifth or ninth committeeman shall be
appointed by General Overseer voliva.
1t is further provided that all property
belonging to the Christian Catholic
church shall be transferred to this
board of arbitration and that their
Judgment. as to whether Voliva or
Dowie shall control the same will be
final"
The ultimatum was taken under ad-
visement by Dowie and his advisors.
Attorney Emil G. Wetten, represent
ing Dowie's interests, had the follow
ing to say:
John Alexander Dowie will never
consent to the sacrifice of his ecclesi-
astical power attendant to Zion City"
Mr.. Newman said tonight:
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1906-04-17

I'VE are willing to concede that
Doctor Dowie has indisputable right
to five per cent of the property owned
by the Christian Catholic church, but
we demand that conference between
the Dowie faction and the followers OF
Voliva be held and that Dowie sign an
agreement whereby he relinquishes
all claims to the property in question,
in consideration of the fact that he is
vested in sole proprietorship of five
per cent thereof
Attorney Wetten, representing
Dowie, demanded that all statements
printed in the last issue of Leaves of
Healing the official paper of Zion, be
designated as slanderous and i'm
proper. He thereupon telephoned to
the postmaster at Zion City informing
him that if he received any numbers
of Leaves of Healing" and permitted
them to be passed through the mails,
he would be amenahle to the law.
Wetten then telegraphed to Post
master General George B. Cortelyou
advising him of the situation and ask
ing him to deliver ruling upon the
point at issue. Attorney Wetten claims
that to send the last issue of Leaves
of Healing" through the mails is an
offense against the United States gov
ernment, inaSmuch as it contains
statements derogatory to the moral
character of DoWie.
Both sides are now waiting a ruling
by the United States officials.

The Fertility of Eggs,

In considering the possibilities for
good hatch from q setting of eggs
the fertility of the eggs used is OF
prime Importance. Data regarding the
factors affecting the fertility of egg

son are commonly believed to exer.
else an unfavorable influence on egg
fertility. The way eggs are HANDLED
or stored is also believed to affect the
proportion which will hatch, as well
as the conditions under which incuba-
tion occurs. The vigor and character
of the parent stock and the length OF
time the male bird has been with the
flock are also important. At the out
set officials of the Department OF
Agriculture wish it distinctly pointed
out that fertility and "hatchability
are not necessarily identical. An egg
may be fertile and the germ still not
have sufficient vitality to produce a
healthy chick under the ordinary con
ditions of incubation.

that were all highly fertile and others
that were completely infertile, and,
furthermore, that eggs of some hens
varied greatly in this respect at diff

seem to show that while a heavy egg
yield does not hinder fertility, provid-
ed the hens are allowed to rest before
they begin to lay again, infertility is
likely to result after hens have been
laying long and heavily.
