RECEIVER
ZION CITY
NAMED
COURT TURNS DOWN BOTH
V0LIVA AND ELIJAH D0WIE
Election Ordered That People
May Have Opportunity Of
Choosing Their Own Ruler
Funds Of Church a Trust.

Chicago, July 21.-Nelther John
Alexander Dowie founder, nor Will
bur Glen Voliva, present general over
seer, is given the property estimated
to be worth from $12,00O,000 to $21,-
10000 in the decision handed down
today by Judge X. M. Lands of the
United States circuit court in the Zion
City case. Instead Judge Lands de-
clared Zion City trust estate, named
John G.. Hately member of the Chi
cago board of trade, a receiver of the
property, and ordered the holding of
an election September Is when the
people of the Christian Catholic
Apostolic church in Zion City shall
choose their own overseer. Judge
Lands will decide later what compen-
sation Dowie will be allowed for his
past services.
The nub of the courts decision is
in the ruling that the contributions of
property and money given to Dowie
were given in trust.
Judge Lads declared the convey
ance of the Zion City property to John
Alexander Granger to be void. Judge
Lands quoted from the writings of
Dowie to show that the latter had al
ways regarded the property of his
church as a trust. The adjudication
in the bankruptcy proceedings was
also set aside so that the pending liti
cation against Dowie may automati-
cally be restrained until the entire lit
igation is ended.
The court very positively refused to
appoint Alexander Granger receiver,
for the reason that Granger had made
vow recognizing Dowie as "a mes
senger of the Covenant, the prophet
foretold by Moses and Elijah the Re-
storer," to which VOW all family ties
and obligations and all relations q
human governments shall be held SUD-
ordinate.
The court said he was not disposed
to repose confidence in a man con-
stituted like that living in this repub-
lie, who would serenely vow his readi-
nc IS at al times to abandon his fam
lily and betray his country.
Receiver Hately's bond of $4,000
was approved late in the afternoon by
the court and he went Immediately to
Zion City and assumed charge of the
property.

Letters introduced in Court,

Pittsburg, July 27.-Susie Wagner
formerly maiG in the employ of the
Hartje household as a witness for Mr..
Hartje today in his suit for divorce,
but by her testimony made an import
ant point for Mrs. Hartje That Susie
Wagner received three letters from
Mrs. Mary Scott Hartje while Susie
was in Germany was brought out.
Hitherto only two letters had been
mentioned one of them being the
disputed letter known as exhibit No.
s. Miss Wagner said she gave the
second letter to Ed" Hartje in New
York. Mrs. Hartje's attorneys have
contended all along that exhibit No.
3 was forged reproduction of anoth-
er letter. The admission that the Sec
ond letter reached the Hartje side
two months before No. is regarded
as important in view of the contention
of Mrs. Hartje's counsel.
Susie Wagner, on ss-examination
admitted that she had received a let
ter from Mrs. Hartje which contained
substantially the same things as are
found in the exhibit No. 6 and which
she says she gave to Attorney E. G.
Hartje in New York.
Although the new letter has been
traced to the hands of Mr.. Hartje's
counsel by their own witness, it was
not offered as a Standard"
In order that she should not be further
subjected to annoyance at the hands
of rowdies, three detectives guarded
Mrs. Hartje while on the street to-
day. The hearing was adjourned to-
day until next week when in two or
three days 1t is expected the taking
of evidence will be completed.

Flagstaff, Ariz, July 27.---One of the
most disastrous collisions in the his
tory of the coast lines occurred at 655
this evening near Agassiz, three miles
west of Flagstaff, when an extra east
bound freight crashed into the Flag
staff Williams local instantly killing
Engineer Seagondollar of the local
and fatally injuring Fireman Nagiller
of the same train.
Seagondollar, who lived in winslow
and was one of the Oldest andmost COM
petent engineers on the division, was
frightfully mangled. The cars OF the
local freight were piled UP all over
the right of way, demolishing the
track for a hundred yards, smashing
down the telegraph poles and tangiing
up the Postal and Western Union
wires in an ineXtricable mass.
The eastbound freight was pulled
by one of the great 1900 elias decapou
engines, which with the momentum
added by heavy train behind IL.
fifty miles an hour. The local was
making probably about fifteen or
twenty miles an hour on the up grade.
The decapod plowed through tho
smaller engine with frightful grind
ing crash that could be heard for
miles, utterly demolishlng the engine
! and a number OF cars behind II.
I Neither the decapod nor the cars be-
hind II left the rails.
| When the crash came Engineer Sea-
| gondollar was evidently standing up lh
| the cab of his engine looking ahead
along the track His body was caught
| between the tender and the boiler head
and literally split in twain. He was
| digaO1 bOXUatlnd and his hart taaac rrn-
! truding when the rescuers got to him.
Death was undoubtedly instantaneous.
The cars of the freight. so fright
full was the shock of the collision.
| were thrown so far from the track
that they rolled up the wires of the
! Postal Telegraph company, which are
clear of the right-of-w as wire Is
wound on a reel swapping telegraph
poles and tearing up the ground.
Cause of Wreck Unknown.
The cause of the collision Is un-
known but was probably the result OF
misunderstanding of orders. There
! is siding at Agassiz where the trains
should have passed but the engineer
of the extra went past the station at
full speed. The point where the coll
lision occurred Is near where the Cal
ifornia limited recently went in the
ditch on steep grade with numerous
sharp curves
A wrecking train left Wlnslow at
1880 and upon arriving at the scene of
the disaster commenced throwing cars
and debris right and left in order to
clear the track. No. passenger train
from the west Is held behind the
wreck and will be indefinitely delayed.
AT this hour it cannot be stated how

Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-09-22
Some books that may appear this fall that our Literary Editor will refuse to review

are voting for the principles that
Fordyce stands for. The delegate
are men who are required by law ii
order to secure the nomination of a
man who will carry out the prinoi-
pies you believe in. One of the
planks in the Fordyce platform is in
favor of a law doing away with the
delegates system entirely, so that if
you favor the nomination of Fordyce
all you would have to do would be
to go to the primaries and vote di-
rect for his nomination. Then when
the votes are counted the people Will
have chosen the candidate them
selves. Delegates and conventions,
which are the stronghold of the boss
system, would then be done away
with. Think it over, and if you like
it, read the other planks in the For
dyce platform and if they all suit
you as well, go to the primaries next
Tuesday and vote for delegates
pledged to Col. Fordyce for state
senator.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1906-09-22

This is the way "Freeholder," in
the New York Press, sizes up the sit
uation:
Well, it is all in the hands of the
voters. If they want reform in poll
tics, particularly in the republican
organization, they must register their
will in this regard in the primaries Oh
next Tuesday. If they want the Pru-
Dental, Public Service and rail load
corporations divorced from control of
the party machinery and the legis-
%lature, they will support those re-
publicans of the new idea who shall
nominate kindred spirits for mem
bers of the legislature. There is
nothing complicated about the situa-
ton. 1t is their simple duty to exalt
| justice and dethrone political de-
b%auchery, or take the consequences
in the neglect of an opportunity to
purify a system which has come to be
a scandal on the fair fame of the
state.
