Chicago. March 15.-Departures from
the policy of John Alexander Dowie
which will be inaugurated in Zion City
by the reform management We're out
lined Yesterday afternoon in Zion CEN

by the new deputy general overseer,
Wilbur Glen Noliva.
AS the vital feature in tho reforms,
the Dowieites have decided definitely
to separate church and state. DIR.
Dowie will be permitted to be- Elijah
iii. and the first apostle to his hearts
content, but not general overseer of the
cash box.
Before some 1900 members of the
church the vigorous. young, and up to
date leader told his flock what he be-
lieves is the matter With the Dowie
community. He spoke reverentially of
DoWie as the divine founder of the
church, but condemned the administers
tive abuses which lourished under his
government. He left no doubt in the
minds of his hearers that DoNie has
been deposed permanently.
Outline of Voliva's Program.
Among the principal reforms which
Overseer Noliva promised to institute
are the following:
OoiISl 1CIIltle ldDOI IN ClG lace FAC
tory and other shops.
Establish an agricultural community
IN connection with Zion City.
Give h Zion industries a working
capital.
"EXpel unworthy officers of the
church.
Treat newspaper representatives
with courtesy.
"1nculcate the federation of other re-.
ligious creeds.
Eliminate expensive dress and lux
uflous habits hitherto INDUCED by tho
head of the community.
Reform the church music.
"Relegate to the past all sensational
md emotional religion"
Face a Difficult Task.
The Dowiettes appear to be having
almost as much trouble separating the
church from the state as the French
government is experiencing. For ex-
ample, it is not clear whether Voliya
is the new general overseer or only
temporarily endowed With that title.
If there is an oEerseer in this
church." exclaimed Voliva. who does

Those within hearing wondered
whether ha meant Dowie or himself.
But that bowie is deposed, though stilI
appeared evident.
Moses led the children of Israel out
of Egypt" said Noliva, and afterward,
for good reason, the Lord set Moses
aside. But did that prove that Moses
was not selected to lead Israel out Of

STREET WAYS
SUFFER BY DECISION
Supreme Court Held They Are operat.
ing Beyond the Limits of Their
Ordinances.

Washington. March H.-The Chicago
street railway cases, involving the
question of the date of the termination
of the franchises of lines running from
the center of Chicago to the north and
west sides, We're today decided by tho
supreme court. The opinion was deliv-
cred by Justice Day, and reversed the
decision of the circuit court for the
northern district of Illinois. He held the
act Of the Illinois legislature Of 1865
had the effect of extending the charter
Of the railway companies for ninety
nine Years.
Chicago, March 14.-By the decision
OF the United States supreme court
handed down yesterday the city of Chi
age obtains almost complete control
OF the local traction situation. The de-
legislature extending the life of the
charters of the street railway compan-
les to n~1nety-nine years, out does not
sustain the contention of the
les that contract rights which are linn
tt.ed to fewer years than remain to the
eharter life OF the companies are also
extended. Contracts or ordinances Of
the City limiting the use of the streets
by the comnanies are upheld, and the
tights Of the companies in the streets

as they existed in 1865. The companies
have extended their tracks as the
boundaries of the city have been en-
larged. and have claimed that the en-
tended lines which were built under
franchises from the city We're also OBJ
erat1Ve under the ninety-nine year act.
Inc court has held, however, that the
nlnety-nine year act extended only the
cnar1er life OF the street car companies
Wlthout extending their ordinances.
Ihe court also denies the claim of
lne street a companies That they have
been vested with the executive right for
n~lnety-nine years to enter into con-
tracts with the city for the
OF Chicago's streets for street railroad
purposes. The decision also holds that
the companies could only receive such
grants as the city might give and upon
such terms and conditions, Including
the time Of II grant of the CITY,
might prescribe.
The city has all along admitted that
the ninety-nine year act is valid. but
claimed that 1t did not extend the or
under which the street car
companies are operating at present.
IT is a sweeping victory for the CITY,"
said Mayor Dunno. There are no
n~inety-nine year franchises in the city
OF Chicago, according to this decision,
n no efini or perpetual grants to
the outlying territory. We have the
traction companies now in a position
where we can negotiate for the pur-
chase Of the lines. If they do not want
to sell at a fair price we can declare
our rights under the decision.''
