MRS. CHADWICK MAY
 HAVE TO DO WASHING
Arrives at Columbus Prison, Where Officials Do Not Believe She
 Has Heart Trouble.

Cleveland. O.. January 12-Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, escorted by United States Marshal Chandler and deputy. left Cleveland this morning for the state pen itentiary at Columbus to begin her sen tenee of ten years imprisonment.
 There were no friends at the station 10 bid her farewell.
 During the night Mrs. Chadwfck's at torneys sought every possible means to obtain a stay of execution of sentence but they were unsuccessful Prior to leav- ing the county jail a physician was called In to see Mrs. Chadwick. He said that she was undoubtedly i'll, but that he be- lieved she could safely make the trip to Columbus.
 Shortly before the train left. Mrs. Chad wick said: T am going 10 try and be brave and keep up now to the last
 Columbus, O., January 12.-No special preparations were made in the womans department for the reception of Mrs. Chadwick. She will be compelled to sleep on cot in the corridor of the prison as the womans department is filled, and every bed occupied.
 The following entry was made In the book at the prison:
 Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick. alias Madame Devere, ten years, conspiracy to wreck national bank Cuyahoga county; received January P, 1906. expires January F. 1916; good time November, 1912.
 The prison officials are skeptical as to the illness of Mrs. Chadwick. They think the reports that she has heart trouble are groundless, and after an examination, if 1t is found she is able. she will be put to washing or other heavy work If not, she will be placed in the sewing depart ment

WILL HAVE PURE
 FOOD EXHIBITION
4 WELL-kNoWN FOOD DEMON STRATOR IS NOW IN BlRMlNG. HAM-LOoKING FOR HALL BIG ENOUGH FOR EXHIBITION.

F. E. Finn of Chicago, a man who travels around the country giving pure food exhibits and expositions, is in Bir- mingham, and is registered at the Metro politan hotel. Last night he stated that there was every reason to believe that within the next three weeks or a month Birmingham would have pure food show, and that arrangements for this ex-' hibit were now in progress.
 To the people of the greater part of the country MT. Finn is well known, and his name is familiar to householders everywhere. For more than eight years he has been at the head of exhibits of this nature and because of his familiarity with the business he has met with almost unqualified success.
 He Is the man who instituted the origi- nal Brooklyn Pure Food and Culinary ex- position which gained such wide reputa- tion, in past years. Among other large exhibits of which he was the manager was the pure food exhibit at the Chicago
  building, Milwaukee, and the big affair of the same nature at the Convention hall in Kansas City, Mo.
 1.-The main trouble about pure food show In Birmingham is the trouble in fading hall big enough to hanCie 'te exhibits" said MT. Finn last night. ''There is little doubt about our giving the show if we can find a hall large enough to hold the number of exhibits we will bring here.
 '"rhe people often get n wrong impress sion of a pure food show. We charge no admission. We give no entertainment. Housewives come to out exhibits and watch our demonstrators work with the several classes of goods on exhibition We sell nothing whatever in the hall. We do take orders, but these are turned over to the local dealers. who deliver the goods and make their profits. The only thing we want is to show the consumers what foods are pure and wholesome and what foods are adulterated. To do this we make use of the offices of the city and state food examiners.
 within the next few days I expect to be in position to formally announce the dates of our exhibition in Birmingham. I came here after receiving a number of letters from local dealers, and since my arrival I have received so much com mendation for my work that l believe we will have great success in our under- taking here.
 Mrs. Kilbourne. who is probably the best demonstrator of foodstuffs in the world, is at the head of our organization, which is of national importance. In ad- dition to this we generally have as many Rs twenty-four demonstrators with the several exhibits, and these persons are all experts in their various lines.
 ''I am a member of the American Pure Food Dem monstrators' association, which works in behalf of the leading manufac- turers of pure foods in this country"

REPUBLICANS FIGHT
 IN OLD PHILADELPHIA
Bitter Ward Contests Cause Calling In of Police at Several
 Meetings.

Philadelphia, January 12.-The regular republicans of Philadelphia held conven- tions today for the selection of candi- dates for magistrates, city council and school directors, and for the selection of delegates to the state convention. To- night 43 wards held conventions and each chose man to represent 1t in the re- publican city convention. Not fin years have there been so many bitterly fought ward or district contests as occurred throughout the city today. In several wards conventions were interrupted for time and in some instances the disor- ders made by several delegations were so great that the police had to interfere. Many arrests were made In many of the wards republicans who were prominent In the reform movement were enlisted in the fight with the result that "re-organ- izers' are now in control and the old city organization of which Israel w. Durham was the leader, is practically out of ex- istenee.
 Recently 1t has been intimated that Mayor Weaver will, as result of his fight for reform be urged as a candidate Tor the gubernatorial nomination, and the statement has been made that the dele gation from Philadelphia will support his candidacy. The surprising result of todaya conventions. 1t is said means that Mayor Weaver will be eliminated as candidate Tor governor of the republican organiza- ton.
 MT. Durham and other friends of Sem ator Penrose claim that the Philadelphia delegation will without doubt be unani- fn fo,ro of Senator Penrose. On the other hand. those opposed to Senator Penrose and the republican state organization claim that the delegation elected today will be against all nominees favored by Senator Penrose and his friends.

 No American engineer of standing cares to be identified with the Panama canal.

 My own purpose in going to Panama was to look at the conditions under which the negro laborer is compelled to live.

 Alabama Man Speaks.
 An address on "The Newspaper and It's Relation to the Southern Cotton Asso- ciation," was made by MT. Henry Brooke of Luverne, Ala, and then Chairman J. H. White presented the report of the committee on foreign trade relations. It endorsed that made by the standing com mittee. The latter signed by ex-Senator McLaurin as chairman, said the commit tee met President Roosevelt and cabinet officers in Washington after the last con- vention and explained to him the desire for a commission to enlarge the cotton trade In foreign countries.
 ''The President was impressed thes re- port said, with the fact that the pro- posed commission would be of great value in opening and developing new cotton markets and promised his unqualified sup port, which he has since lost no op- portunity to give. He has issued special instructions to the consuls in their va rious districts to put forth special effort in furnishing our people with any infor- nation which would be of value in in- creasing our trade in their respective markets"
 The committee gave a long list of com mercial and other bodies which had en- dorsed the proposed appointment of commission to go abroad and submitted resolution, which was adopted. indorsing the bills of Senator Overman of North Carolina and Representative Richardson of Alabama Congress was asked for early and favorable action.
 Mrs Webb of Mississippi was heartily cheered when she had completed the read ing of a poem in honor of the associa- tion, and a recess was then taken until night.
 Hold for 15 Gents.
 By unanimous vote the committee on associa ton tonight adopted the report of its committee on holding, recommending that the balance of the crop of 1905-6 be held for 15 cents a pound. A joint com mittee of bankers and farmers from each state and territory is to carry the plan into effect. Cooperation with the growers of sea island cotton is provided for, long staple cotton to be held at 24 cents.

TO EXCLUDE
HINDU IMMIGRANTS
LAW ALLOWS GOVERNOR TO ACT
AND LABOR LEADERS GAIN
THEIR POINT.

VANCOUVER, August 24.-The Hin
du invasion of Canada is TO be peremp-
torily throttled. Within the past two
months over a thousand have arrived
from Hongkong on Canadian Pacific
steamships. They are practically pau
pers.
AS a result of protests by labor men,
w. D. Scott, federal superintendent of
immigration has been sent out from
Ottawa 10 investigate the situation. He
will arrive in Vancouver within the
next few days. The pressure on OF
tawa to shut the Hindus out has be-
come so strong that advantage is to
be taken of a section of the new immi-
grafton act passed at the last session
of parliament at ottawa to exclude
these immigrants. This section en-
powers the governor in council to pro-
hibit the landing in Canada of any spe-
Gifted class of immigrants
The federal government has been
somewhat slow in acting in this matter
largely because of the fact that all
these aliens are British subjects born
and raised in India. Many of the
Hindus arriving here have served many
years on the Hongkong and Singapore
police forces.

Japanese training ship Anegawa, Sat
urday afternoon, where Captain Hama
busa and the officers of the vessel were
"At Home" to about four hundred
guests who visited the ship. Every

stems, blossomed in gorgeous color. on
the main and upper decks the Soup
pers on both sides, and for the entire
length of the ship had been transform

NUNS and iris. In the dining saloon,
| in the cabins on all the decks, there
was the same profusion. 1t was a
| genuine Roman Floralia or festival of
Flora, in Japanese. Everywhere about
! the ship were bizarre decorations and
! interesting features. At one place was
a model of battleship made of parts
of guns, while the wall back of it was
painted to represent Port Arthur and
the surroundings. At another place
was a curiously wrought dragon. At
the foot Of the companionway leading
to the upper deck was the effigy of a
diver while an electric button was so
placed that as every guest assembled or
descended the companionway, bell
rang, bidding welcome or adieu. In an
other place there was an ingeniously
| designed octopus, at another a crane, a
turtle, a man at a telephone. These
! figures were in all ca~es made from ar
ticles or materials used On a warship
and many of them were most elabor-
ately and ingeniously designed.
On the deck refreshments were serv-
ed by Japanese sailors made up as
Japanese Mattresses, and much merri-
ment grew out of this. On the quarter
deck there were exhibitions of swords

PROPHET" DOWIE
LEAVES ZION
IN HEALTH BUT FULL
OF HOPE HE STARTS FOR
MEXICO-HIS FAREWELL.

CHICAGO, September 29-John Alex
ander Dowie today babe farewell to
about two hundred Zionists the rem
nant of his numerous adherents. He
will on October start for Mexico.
where he hopes to regain his health,
but there are very few even of his
NOSE ardent followers who believe that
he will ever reach there alive.
A mere shadow OF me once fiery
prophet" Dowie was today carried
into the spacious parlor of Shiloh
House by his two giant negro attend
ants, and in weak, trembling tones said
to his assembled friends:
II am going away, but I will return
again to triumph over my enemies. 1
am a sick man, but the sickness is not
of the body. I am suffering from a
broken heart. My wife and son have
left me and you are the only ones who
remain faithful. Zion will become the
greatest religious center in the world"
Then with quavering voice he closed
his short address by starting his favor
lite hymn God Be With You Till We
Meet Again"
The closing scene in the active life
of this one time acknowledged leader
of a peculiar sect was pathetic in the
extreme. Women buried their faces in
their hands and sobbed aloud, while
tears rolled down the cheeks of a ma
jority of the bronzed men. Dowie was
carried to the head of the stairs where
he pronounced the apostolic blessing
and thus ended his career in Zion City.
