Suit n- Superiority.

Just so long as you spend your good money for inferior clothes. just so long will you fail to be fully satisfied with them. There's really no need to argue over the matter as you know from experi- ence that they soon lose their shape genteel appearance'-what little they had to start with and everything else that would help them to lay claim to respecta- bility. The way to avoid vast ing yoM money in this way is to always go to Hurley for your suits and not until you do that will you know the full meaning of the ex- nression suit satisfaction"

Son Says Father OFF Mental Balance.
Story of Woman Valet Is
Denied-Dethronement

Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, April 3.-Undreamed of
depths Of the domestic turmoil in John
Alexander Dowie's household were
probed today, when incidents in the
history of the disgraced and repudiated
apostles" warfare with his wife and
his lieutenants came to light. Briefly it
is said the quarrel dates back to the
worlds fair times. when he insisted
upon a confessional" for his female
converts.
Gladstone Dowie said today: Father
is mentally unbalanced and we are
anxious to know what effect the tele-
gram of repudiation will have upon
him. The shock will act in two ways;
either he will be stunned so that he will
die in Il fit of apoplexy or he will lose
his temper and start for Zion at once
to make a fight. In the latter event the
trip would probably kill him, as he
is very i'll. [ wish to deny the story
that my father had a woman valet. AS
to his polygamous teachings, they were
due to his failing mind.
II am confident of the legality of the
transfer of Zion City interests and
completeness of the overthrow of
decided upon radical changes in policy.
The most important will be the admis
sion of outside industries with their
own employees, upon whom there will
be placed no religious restrictions and
who may reside in or out of Zion City.
In short, Zion is no longer a theocracy."
Sizzling kilograms received tonight at
Zion announced that Dowie, weak and
stricken in body and mind, but savage
in temper, would arrive in Zion early
next week to attempt to crush the re-
bellion against him.
Stormy times are certain to follow his
arrival.
The following message was today re-
ceived at Zion City from Dowie, who at
present is at Ocotlan, MeXico
"Wire Immediately full report OF Sun
days meeting. First apostle"
The meeting of Sunday was that at
which Overseer Voliva openly re
pudlated Dowie and declared that he
would no longer follow him or obey his
orders.
A meeting of the officers of Zion City
and the Church of Zion was held today,
and it was decided that ii is necessary
to raise at once 100000 for the COM
plete financial rehabilitation of Zion
City. Land and other properties will be
pledged to raise the necessary amount,
and numerous offers have been re-
received from creditors indorsing the
plan and promising assistance.
Late tonight a telegram was re-
ceived from Dowie by Judge Barnes,
the head of the law department at
Zion City, ordering him to revoke the
power of attorney that Dowie had
given to Overseer Voliva, the resident
head of Zion City.
Judpa RarneS was ordered to confer
the power of attorney upon Fielding
H. White, secretary OF the Paradise
Mexican plantation, Dowie's latest
venture.
In this telegram Dowie said he was
starting for the City of Mexico and
that he expected to be in Zion City
early next week

Maintains $15,000,000 OF
Surplus to Lend

Revolving Stockholders Claim Harri-

Predicted at Meeting

Special to The Herald
NEW YORK, April 3.-The annual
meeting of Wells-Fargo stockholders
next August promises to possess a
particular interest for E. H. Harri-
man. He is a director and although
he holds but ten shares of stock, he
controls and has for some time con-
trolled the affairs of the company.
The present directorate is composed
of men friendly to Hartman. The
stockholders purpose to elect other
directors. The issue will be for larger
dividends. The present dividend rate
is s per cent.
1t is alleged by revolving stockhold-
ers that 900 has been accumula-
ted in the way of surplus, and it is
asserted that this amount is more
than is required by the business of
the company. The stockholders think
part of this surplus should be dis
tributed in dividends.
The claim is made that Hartman
heretofore has been in favor of MAIN
tanning surplus as large as possi-
BILE, and the stockholders state the rea-
son for such action is that Harriman's
railroads may borrow freely from the
funds of Wells-Fargo account.
The startling claim is made by the
revolving stockholders that Hartman
was the only one who was able to ne
gotiate loans out of this surplus.
The plan to compel Hartman to
slice UP mis- melon was conceived soon
after the annual meeting of the COM
pany last year when the stockholders
application for an increase in dividend
met with curt refusal. For several.
weeks the leaders in the plan have been
soliciting proxies, but the campaign
has been waged quietly.
In the western states where the COM
business is principally trans
acted, express rates are higher than
in the east and it was feared a wide
intelligence of the company's large
earnings would result in legislative
action for a reduction of rates.
The opinion was expressed today that
the directors may declare an extra
dividend and quiet the entire matter.
But if they do not" stockholder
said, there will be quite as much
trouble in a small way as Hartman
and other syndicate operators encoun-
tered as a result of their dealings with
the insurance companies"

Gently Will Christmas, Walter Holland
and Mrs. Walter Holland were arrested
in Cottonwood, charged with the mur-
der of Mr.. and Mrs, j. M. Christmas
and infant son, which occurred on the
first day of the year.
Until the arrest of the prisoners, two
being the son and daughter, and the
other the son-in-law of the murdered
couple. mystery has completely
shrouded the horrible crime.
Detective Franklin in solving the
mystery made use of a ventriloquist,
a mule and a superstitious negro.
The officer. pretending to be an es-
capped murderer, hired this negro. whom
he thought knew something of the
crime, to bring him meals. The ven-
triloquist in the employ of the detective
caused a mule to charge the old negro
with having foully murdered the Christ
mas family.
After the charge was repeated sew
eral times the old negro nearly COL
lapsed with fear, made a full confess
sion in which he incriminated VIII
Christmas, Holland and his wife.
The detective and the ventriloquist,
having heard the confession, stepped
from cover and placed the negro under
arrest. The negro repeated his con-
fession and the arrest of the prisoners
followed. The defendants have made
no statement other than claiming their
innocence

COAST ARTILLERY Is
REPORTED INADEQUATE
TAFT EXAMINED BY SENATE
COMMITTEE
SHORTAGE of Men Due to Fact That
Pay Is Too Low-BiII to Increase
Wages of Soldiers Now Before
Congress
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Some sur
prising facts regarding the made
quacy of the coast artillery force were
brought out in the recent examination
of Secretary Taft by the senate COM
mittee on military affairs. The sec
retary presented data showing the
present authorized force of coast ar
tillery is sufficient to provide one relief
for only thirty-four per cent of the
guns, mines, range finders, etc, now
actually installed or authorized for the
coast defenses of the United States.
This is exclusive of reserves, supports,
etc, and is based upon the actual num-
ber of officers and men required if the
entire force of coast artillery could be
mustered in line and each man marched
to his position. 1t was also shown
that there is an average shortage of
more than thirty per cent in the coast
artillery companies, and that due TO
this shortage less than twenty-five per
cent of the defenses can be actually
manned by troops now in service. In
case of a sudden outbreak of war, sew
enty-five per cent of the coast defenses
would have to remain idle until such
time as volunteers or raw recruits
could be trained to handle the high
power guns, mines and position finding
system, etc.
This shortage is said to be due to the
fact that the pay is not sufficient to in
duce men to enlist for the coast ar-ll-
lery. TO obviate these conditions, Rep
resentative Hull has presented a bill in
congress which carries increased pay
for certain grades in the coast artn :
lery that require technical skill and
increases the authorized strength by
about 5000 officers and men.
The bill, if passed, will increase the
authorized strength to forty-five per
cent of that required for one relief.
