sharp curves in the park he foresaw a

mates, who have contributed $75 to pur-
chase flowers for the funeral.

FIGHT
not TILL TUESDAY
House Will Be Busy Until Then
and Speaker Thus Gains
Strength.
Nv w. w. Iermane.

Washington, Jan. 18.-The most i'm
portant question before the house of
representatives is, when will the
speaker order the statehood bill up for
consideration
The house decks will be pretty we'll
loaded until next Tuesday, so it will
be possible for him, if the exigencies
Of the situation demand it, to post
pone until that time the bringing in
Of the bill. Yesterday was pension day.
Today Representative Curtis, from the
bill which must become law before
March 4. Tomorrow Representative
Tawney is. expected to call up the ur-
gent deficiency appropriation bill
whose consideration may fill the rest
Of the week. Next Monday will be
District of Columbia day. !
This interval for breathing spell
will be welcomed by the house organi
zation.. It will permit them to gathe,
themselves together after the Philip
pine tariff fight, make q fresh count

two were insurgents on the Philippine
bill. If this is an accurate account, the
statehood bill will 80 thru the hous,
almost as easily as the Philippine bill
went thru.
Representative Babcock, leader OF
the statehood insurgents, thinks he has
more than seventy republican votes
against statehood, but thus far he has
failed to specify where they are t.
credit his claim, as the. speaker is feel
ing more confident now than he has al
any time since the present test Of
strength began. r.. ,4i
The effort to mix up the president
with the Philippine bill failed utterly
and now there is little disposition te
drag his name into the statehood fight
That fight is no wbeing made purely or

POLICEMAN CHECKS
PANIC AT THEATER

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 1S.-A panic was
narrowly ayerted at the Oliver theater
last night by the prompt action of a
policeman. Fire broke out in the base
ment Of the theater building during a
performance Of "Ben Hur, and it re-
quired several minutes Of hard work
on the part Of the fire department to
control the flames. j..
The blaze started under room occu-
pied by a drugstore adjoining the thea
ter lobby. A man near the door left
his seat hurriedly and started for the
doorway, with a cry that the building
was on fire.
Before he could repeat the cry po-
liceman grabbed him by the throat and
dragged him into the lobby.
A woman who followed tainted as she
reached the door and was carried out.
Not more than half dozen others left
the theater. The fire was confined to
one room and the damage was small.
The greater part of the audience was
unaware Of the danger.

Gains Strength in Moroccan
!. Conference. ~,

Algeciras, Spain, Jan: 1S.-During
the 1ull preceding the opehing of the
discussions Of the International con-
ference on Moroccan reforms, France
has taken effective means to cement
the union Of the Mediterranean
powers. q. -
The union had been threatened by
Spain s resentment Of the French en-
croachment upon the Spanish military
posts near Ceuta. Recently a band of
adventurous Frenchmen, undertook a
sort of Jameson raid, establishing
headquarters at Chica, near Melilla, a
exceptionally advantageous CONNER
cially and strategically.
The French government disclaimed
responsibility for the intrusion, but
Spain continued suspicious. This
caused a noticeable tension in Franco
Spanish relations. France was evi.
IDENTIFY determined to avert the dan.
ger Of losing the support Of Spain at
The conference, for it is understood that
a French cruiser which left here yes.
terday has orders to expel the French
establishment at Chica on the ground
that the Frenchmen who landed there
are a party of freebooters.:
This has elected expressions Of the
heart1eSt approval: from the Spanish
representatives, and insures the con.
tinuation Of Spain $ support OF
France, and the endurance Of the union
Of the. Mediterranean powers during
the conference.
The question of the surveillance OF
the trade in contraband arms promises
to develop sharp differences Of opinion
Germany has already stated that she
will not consent to any surveillance
which will permit foreign warships tc
detain, board and examine German
ships. The German idea is that the
surveillance Of the trade in contrabanG
arms can best be obtained by lane
patrols.
The open door policy is accepted en-
Enthusiastically by all, especially by
France. M. Revolt, head Of the French
| mission says:
Let us have not only a commercia
open door, but an open door in larger
sense--open to the. progress Of civil
zation, to, work, to prosperity and tx
education. This would be real ope1
door and would result in the resurrec

Journal Special Service.
Chicago, Jan. 18.-A few hours after
the abdication Of John Alexander
Dowie was reported yesterday evidence
was produced to indicate that the Zion
City leader will not give up without a
contest.
Pressing creditors Of Zion City were
Informed during the day by represents
tives Of the " Triumvirate = of deacons
that the departure of DR.. Dowie
marked the passing Of his financial con-
troll Of the community: The deacons
gave it out plainly that q new era was
about to dawn, in which outsiders
would be welcomed to Zion and the re-
strictions and sumptuary laws would be
recalled.
= The awakening Of the people Of Zion
has come at last, according to one Of
the large creditors in Chicago today.
Money squandered.
"Dowie has squandered money in a
most profigate Manner said this
creditor. His trip round the world
cost him $1,O00,0O0. He drew on the
treasury for it. The trip to New York
cost half as much. The recent trip to
for the old man. He spent thousands
there. And for all these expenditures
all Zion City has got out Of it has been
few pale fireworks. Us
"To save Zion from utter ruin, which
it was believed would come, with the
ridicule that would follow Dowie's ban
ishment from their precincts, the scheme
to retain him as the head Of the church
to stand him in the role of the
First Apostle, Elijah ILL., or any 9th
er character he desired to assume, was
concocted by rational Zionites. "

Now it is reported that Gladstone
Dowie, after staying with his father q
few weeks, is Fastening back. This
is taken to indicate that the founder
of the city intends to have q personal
representative on the ground. Mrs
Dowie is still here. -,
: Still more significant was the pur
port Of long cipher cablegram re-
ceived from the oyerseer. This, it was

When asked about the message DIR
Speicher appeared surprised and de
