RoBsERY THE MOTIVE.
Victims Ut Minneapolis Tragedy Had
Saved $1,000 Each.


Minneapolis, March 3O.-Although
no clue has developed leading to the
apprehension of the m%urderers Of the
six Bulgarians killed in this city the
early part Of the week it is now al
most positive that robbery was the
object. So thriftily had each n Of
the murdered men lived his life now
cut short by thugs that it is said that
each may have saved an amount as
high as $1,000 and if that be true the
plumber of the assassins was a large
sum in comparison with the $500
which escaped their search.
Nothing of value TO the police has so
far developed from the arrest of the
Duluth party except to identify the
men slaughtered in their meager home
on Tenth avenue.
These men have so far made no sug-
gestion of Importance as to who the
murderers may be, or, at any rate,
have not disclosed any feud or bitter
enmity that would justify suspicion of
any individuals or murderous cabal.

lessness of the horrid crime, gained
the good will and confidence Of the
police who apprehended them and the
officers are about agreed that they are
not the blood. stained assassins of their
0ountrymen.
Thomas Wilson, clerk of the Kelly
company Of Duluth, came
to Minneapolis with Detective Stavilo
and identified the five knives found in
the house Of slaughter as those which
his firm sold last week. The firms
marks were on the knives as well as
the prices, which he had marked on
them himself. He looked over the
corpses at the morgue and said that
none of the men were in the party
purchased the instruments.

DOWIE LOSES HIS JOB
DEPOSITION AS HEAD OF CHURCH
FOLLOWED By TRANSFER
OF PROPERTY.

Chicago, April 2.-The open revolt
against John Alexander Dowie which
took place Sunday has been followed
by the transfer of all the public prop
erty of the Church Of Zion to Alex
ander Granger, the man whose dismiss
sal has been directed by Dowie in a
telegram from Mexico.
A warrant deed and a bill Of sale
were filed during the day in the Lake
county circuit court at Waukegan,
I'LL, by W. G. Voliva, the present head
Of Zion, who was appointed by Dowie
some months ago, by which all the
lands standing in the name of Dowie
and his wife are made over to Gran
ger for the benefit of Zion City and
the followers of Dowie. Voliva holds
from Dowie a power of attorney and
by virtue of it he has turned over to
Granger everything portable in Zion
City, even to the bed of Dowie. All
the effects Of Shiloh House," the
Dowie residence, the horses and car
riages, the machinery in the mills and
everything in the name of Dowie out
side Of the personal belongings of the
residents of the town has been taken
away from the control of the deposed
first apostle"
Later in the day Granger made a re-
conveyance of all the property to Vo-
Iva, thus giving to him all the author
ity and power formerly held by Dowie.
Most of the officials of the church
we're present at the meeting Sunday
when Dowie was deposed and many OF
them denounced Dowie as having de-
ceived the people and wasted their
money in extravaganza. The meet
ing, however, refused to hold that he
had knowingly erred and John G.
Speicher, the former overseer and
once second in command, who was re.
Gently deposed peremptorily, declared
Dowie to be insane. Mrs. Dowie, in
her address, also upheld that declara-
ton. -,

Mayor Rose Defeated In Milwaukee,.
Chicago, April 4.-Under the result
81 the city election held during the
day, in which the question of NUM-
c1pal ownership Of the street railways
was the vital issue, the city of Chica-
90 can proceed to acquire and control
the railways, but cannot operate them.
AT the same time the voters, while de.
claring that the city shall not proceed
to operate the railroads, declared that
as a question of public policy it would
be desirable for the city to do so.
Mayor Dunno construed the passage
Of the SIS, 000,0 900 certificate and pub

municipal ownership, but expressed
his disappointment over the defeat Of
the proposition for municipal opera
ton. He said:
Il regret very much that we did not
get the necessary majority to enable
us to legally operate the street rail-.

US from again going before the peo-

lines and asking for the necessary aur
thority to operate. The people will
