ELECTION OF SENATORS
RESOLUTION FAvoRING PoPU-
LAR VOTE TO BE REPORTED.

A resolution providing for the election OF
been favorably acted upon by the house
committee on election OF President. Vice
President and representatives In Congress
The resolution. which was introduced by
Mr.. Norris of Nebraska makes the term o,
members of the House four years instead OF
two. Both propositions are to be accom-
plished by amendments to the Constitution
Reasons why tho term of representatives
should be four years are stated to be be
cause no party can inaugurate its policy IN
two years.
THE people are tired the report says
'iof this continuous drama and as a result
are inclined to give no attention TO the
primaries and the conventions-the very
forum wherein the countrys interests car
best be guarded and protected.
with an election every two years the
political CRATER who thrives on partisan
strife and on the nervous uncertainty con
trolling candidates for office is able to live
from one election to another by the Doodle
secured at his unholy business The adop-
ton of the proposed amendment would rem
der 1t less possible for this creature to ply
his trade"
Regarding the election of senators by di-
rect vote the report says The proposition
to provide for the election of senator's by
the direct vote of the people has been before
the House of Representatives and has re-
ceived favorable considera ton on several diff
ferent occasions. A proposition to amend
the Constitution having this object i'm view
has passed the House of Representatives al
four different times, and each time by a
practically unanimous vote"

DowIE TO WAGE WARFARE.
Will Demand His Rights in the
Court


John Alexander Dowie will not give up
HIS leadership of the Christian Catholic
Church and return to Mexico. He will
wage a vigorous legal warfare to regain
control of Zion City, and later will go to
Zion City and proclaim himself the only
first apostle" This statement was au-
thorized at Chicago last night by Dowie
himself and by the lawyers who represent
him.
Attorney Haley, representing DowIe and
his counselors. said:
I'VE have advanced, and will advance,
only one condition: Complete restoration
of power, temporal as we'll as ecclesiastical,
and demand for an absolute retraction
of the sanderous statements made by Gen.
eral Overseer w. Glenn Voliva and his fol-
lowers against the moral character of
Dowie.
I'VE are preparing a bill In chancery,
petitioning the court to set aside the trans
fer of the property at Zion City made be-
tween General Overseer Voliva and Deacon
Alexander Granger, because the Instrument
was absolutely void. Dowie revoked Volt
vas power of attorney two days before
the Illegal transfer was made.
'Dowie will not Immediately proceed to
Zion City, but will remain at his apart
ments at the Auditorium Annex until every
preliminary legal step has been taken. He
will then proceed to Zion City and enter it
with all the power and authority which he
possessed when he last left the place.
Dowie has secured an order from the
postal department directing that all mail
addressed to Dowie be delivered to him in
Chicago. This. it is said, will checkmate
the general order sent out by Voliva order
ing that no moneys be RENTED to Dowie
hereafter.

Price of Java Likely to Rise.

Residents of this country who are adj
dicted to the use of pure Java coffee from
Brazil can be prepared for a rise in price
or a decline in quality of their favorite
tipple. Consul General Seegar of Rio
Jane!ro says that the presidents of San
Paulo Rio and Minas, the three largest
coffee-producing states. have decided on an
export tax of IS cents in gold a bag on
coffee. A foreign loan of $13.000.00o at 4
per cent is to be secured for the coffee
planters to counteract their losses through
the recent rise in Brazilian exchange. The
surtax of 50 cents per bag. 1t is estimated,
will pay the interest on the big loan and
leave surplus revenue Of s2,695.500 for
expenses and propaganda. The agreement
will come into force soon as apr oved
by the president of Brazil.
