VOLIVA GOES
INTO COURTS
CRISIS IN CONTROL OF ZION
CITY is NEAR
Dowie Ignores Courts Suggestion to
Place Affairs In Hands of Three
Trustees and Issue Must Be
squareIy Met

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 21.-All overtures for
a peaceful compromise of the contro-
versy over the control OF Zion City were
called off today and General Overseer
Voliva and his associates have decided
to fight for supremacy in the courts.
Application will be made in court to-
morrow for the dissolution of the tenn
porary injunction recently granted to
Dowie.
This will bring the crisis that will
determine whether John Alexander
Dowie shall own and rule Zion or
whether the present administration
shall continue in charge.
For several days Voliva and his lieu
tenants waited for Dowie and his lead
ers to accept the proposition made by
the court to place the Zion case in the
hands of three trustees, one named by
each of the contestants and the third by
the court.
The failure of Dowie to act threatened
another crisis for Zion and the decision
to call the peace negotiations off was
the result.
This was prompted largely by re-
ports of Zion investors heretofore held
back by Voliva to begin proceedings
against Dowie and to have a receiver
appointed for Zion City industries

the authority of former Senator Chand-

presidents course on the pending rate
legislation, some of the statements of
which were denied by Mr.. Lodge on be-

The president says today:

The president says that as to many OF
the amendments, including the so-called
Long, Overnan, Bacon and Spencer
amendments, he had said he should be
entirely satisfied to have them in the
bill and suggested notifications as to
other amendments, "but as to none of
the amendments did say either to Mr..
Chandler or to any one else that I

THREE GIRLS PERISH THERE
charred Remains In Ruins Of Bakery
Reveal Sad Story
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May lathe fact
that three girls perished in the ruins Of
Prost's bakery on Sixth street as re-
suit of the earthquake and fire was
established today.
Some time ago the charred remains
OF q girl named Book were taken from
the ashes of the place by her father
Today William Burmeister searched
among the ruins for traces of the re-
mains of his sister and niece, who had
been missing since April IS. The girl
wore a peculiar ring upon which was
engraved the letter A. The brother to-
day found this ring, some human teeth
and bones.
A thirdi girl named Allen who was
employed in the bakery has not been
seen since April II.
The three young women slept in the
rear of the store because they were
obliged to begin their duties at very
early hour in the morning. 1t is be-
lieved they were either killed outright
in the wreck of the building or were
pinned down and later burned to death.

Committee on Legislation Recom-
mends 99-Year Leases and Increase
in inheritance and Corpora

Nv Associated l,rasn.

by Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.--The cold
disagreeable rain which fell all this
forenoon created much misery among
the refugee camps and even caused
considerable annoyance to householders
who were cooking In the streets.
Though It is the middle of May and
rain is very unusual at this period, the
ashes which drifted into the sky dur
ing the three days Of conflagration are
believed to have concentrated sufficient
moisture to cause many slight drizzles
for some time to come.
1t Is most unfortunate at this par
ticular time, when third of San Fran
cisco's population is camping.
Many of the tents in Golden Gate
park, the Preside and Fort Mason are
without plank floors and become damp
at once. The shacks throughout the va
cant lots, in which many Of therefugees
are living, are poorly constructed and
leaky. 1t is difficult to build outside
fires in the rain, and the homeless are
without proper means of drying or
warming themse res.
Happily, the ram yas OF short dura-
tion and the afternoon was ushered in
by bright sunshine.
Reforms In Laws
At meeting of the committee Oil
special session Of the legislature today
it was unanimously decided that the
present fifty-year lease law should be
amended so that ninety-nine-year
leases will hereafter be permitted In the
state. This is looked upon by the real
estate men as most important step,
as they maintain that under the new
conditions building will progress very
rapidly.
The committee also decided to rec
ommend an increase in the inheritance
tax and on corporation licenses.
The state will be asked to authorize
the issuance of bonds in the sum Of
$500. 100, to be tax on the tonnage Of
San Francisco, for reconstruction of
those portions of the wharves and sea-
wall destroyed in the recent calamity.

WITTE POWERFUL
IN THE COUNCIL
P0STP0NES REPLY TO SPEECH
FROM THE THRONE
Document VIII Contain Demand for
Amnesty Of Present Prisoners
Not Guilty Of Murder
or Robbery

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 15.-Ex-
Premier Witte again today took a
prominent part in the conferences of
the council of tile empire, successfully
insisting that the adoption OF reply
to the speech from the throne should
be postponed until a regular meeting
Of the council at which representatives
of the press shall BE present in order
that the country may be informed as
to arguments advanced on either side.
Nevertheless the projected reply to
the speech from the throne which prob
ably will be adopted already has been
drafted and has been seen by the AS
sociated Press.
Though delicately expressed, the re-
ply virtually contains a demand for
the amnesty of present prisoners who
are not guilty of murder or robbery.
In other respects the reply seems to be
especially designed to disarm the sus-
picion that it Is to be the role of the
upper chamber to block Legislation pro-
posed by the lower house. After ex-
pressing the deepest loyalty to the en-
peror the reply of the council of the
empire contains these three principal
points,:
1. An unequivocal endorsement Of
the Liberal regime.
2. Declaration of the intention to
work in harmony with the lower house
for large reforms.
3. Amnesty, the suggestion being so
worded as not to wound the sensibil-
ity of the emperor, calling attention
to the fact that all remarkable occa-
sions in Russian history have been
marked by an act of grace and urging
the strong claim to clemency of those
who, while striving for liberty trans
gressed lawful limitations without be-
ing guilty Of crime.
