New York. April 2.-The eve of the
second meeting of the committees rep
resenting the United Mine Workers
and their employers finds the situation,
so far as the hard coal fields are con-
cerned, unchanged from that disclosed
in the communications that have pass
ed between the contending forces and
which have been made public. Meth
er miner nor operator tonight would
venture prediction as to the out
come. Both sides are hopeful so far
and there is a feeling among those
vitality interested in the struggle that
some way out of the present difficulty
will be found. This feeling is based
on the fact that each side has only
played it's first card, and that the real
negotiations have not yet begun.
President Mitchell arrived here to-
night from Indianapolis and establish
ed headquarters at the Ashland house.
1t was the expectation of Mr.. Mitchell
to call the district presidents and Sec
retaries together tonight for last
conference prior to the meeting with
the operators, but it was decided today
to delay the conference until tomor-
row morning, when it, is expected all
members will be present. None of the
district leaders would be quoted as to
the situation as shown by the first
days suspension, but privately they
admitted that rumors that thousands
of men have not obeyed the suspen-
sion order have proved groundless.

SPANS CONTINENT AGAIN.
Hill Actively Engaged in Building Second
TranSCOntinentdI Line.
[By Associated Pressl

st. Paul, April 2.-The Pioneer
Press, which is a recognized authority
on doings of the Great Northern rail-
road, will say in it's issue of tomor-
row:
James J. Hill is to have twin trans
continental road, operations now
being under way for the construction
of an east and west line between Win
nipeg and Vancouver. Five hundred
miles of the new line is already in
process of construction and the plans
call for total of 1900 miles. Hither-
to it has been surmised that Hill was
building in connection with the Cana
dian Northern, but this is not the case,
and an exciting rail laying contest
soon will start between the Great
Northern, the Canadian Northern and
the Grand Trunk Pacific. The biggest
stretch of line on which construction
is now under way is between Van
couver and Princeton.
The route follows along the Fraser
river and, inclining northerly, it
strikes just north of the Tulameen
river The line proceeds along the

ONLY ONE OPERATING.
Small Concern Sole Mine Working in
Hard Coal Region.

Philadelphia, April 2-There was
complete suspension of mining opera
tions in the anthracite region today,
in accordance with the order issued
last week by President Mitchell of the
Mine Workers and the scale commit
tee of that organization, with the soli-
tary exception of the Oxford colliery,
a small independent operation near
Scranton which employs about 500
hands with daily capacity OF about
1,2OO tons. This mine was kept in
operation during the strike of 1902.
Every colliery was opened as usual
and in readiness for the workers. But
there was no response to the blowing
of the whistles other than the appear
ance of the engineers, firemen, pump
men and others whose presence at the
mines is necessary to preserve them
from injury and who were exempted
in President Mitchell's order.
The action of the miners occasioned
no surprise on the part of the opera
tors, who, while they offered work
and protection to any who might de-
sire to go into the mines, did not an
ticipate the acceptance of their offer.
The fact that the most of the mine
workers when they left the mines
Saturday took their working materials
with them was indicative of their in
tention to remain away from the col
lieries until ordered to return by Pres
ident Mitchell. The best of feeling
between operators and miners Is re-
ported from all sections and the hope
that a satisfactory agreement may be
reached at the conference in. New

Kansas City, Mo-, April 2-All the
coal miners of Kansas, Missouri, Ar
kansas, Indian Territory and Oklaho-
ma are idle, the miners having struck
for payment of the scale of 1908.
These mines employ $4,000 men. 1t is
expected that numerous operators will
sign the scale soon, although none has
done SO yet. Operators who have
mines in more than one district must
sign in all the districts before open
ing any mine.
The miners are in prosperous condi-
tion, having been employed steadily
for long time and the best of feeling
prevails between them and the oper-
ators. The celebration of the eight
hour anniversary was general through
out the southwest today and the min
ers turned out in large numbers. They
look for the shutdown to be of short
duration.

EVEN Ills PROPERTY TAKEN
Warned to Accept Situation Lest Worse
Things Be all Him.
EBy Associated Pressl

Chicago, April John Alexander
Dowie, head of the Christian Catholic
church in Zion, was today deposed as
religious leader, suspended from
membership in the church he founded,
shorn of his temporal possessions as
far as they are located in Zion City,
the home of his church, and warned
to accept the situation quietly, lest
worse things befall him.
The active revolt against the leader
ship of Dowie was foreshadowed yes
terday, when Overseer Voliva, who
had been placed by Dowie in charge
of the church while he sought health
in Jamaica and Mexico, announced
that he would no longer accept the
orders of Dowie, who had, he declared,
grossly mismanaged the affairs of the
church. The members of the church,
including the wife and son of Dowie,
agreed to stand with him.
The first move looking to Dowie's
overthrow was made early today by
Overseer Voliva, who holds power of
attorney from Dowie. In company
with several other officers of the
church, Voliva hastened to Waukegan,
the county seat of Lake county, in
which Zion City is situated, and filed
for record a warranty deed transfer
ring to Deacon Alexander Granger, all
the real estate held by Dowie in Zion
City. He also executed a bill of sale
to Deacon Granger putting him in
possession of all the property of
Dowie, including his horses and car
riages, books and even his bed.
Later in the day Granger conveyed
these to Voliva and at nightfall the
overseer appointed by Dowie had not
only succeeded him as the head of the
church, but was the holder of all of
his property as well. A message was
then sent to Dowie informing him OF
the change in the situation. After
sending the cablegram to Dowie, Ov-
erseer Voliva discussed the proceed
ings of the day. He said:
81 have acted in this matter under
the power of attorney which | possess.
What has been done believe was for
the good of the church in Zion City
and for it's creditors. Legal counsel
has been retained and everything has
been carried out in accordance with
their advice. We shall go ahead and
put the affairs of Zion City in good or
der. If further steps are taken it will
depend on what is done by Dowie. The
situation is up to him as it stands"
Regarding the polygamous teachings
mentioned in the message to Dowie,
Overseer Voliva said he would issue
a statement regarding them later
statement regarding them later,
portunity for reply. He said, however.
thylt the teachings had not been pub
lie, but were of private character.
"Win Dowie be received in Zion
City if he cares to come back?" the
overseer was asked.
"Never as a leader. He must be-
have himself if he comes back. or he
will have to look out for himself"
"Will the church send him money
to return?"
The overseer declined to answer
All of the men now prominent in the
management of the affairs of the Zion
City church, with the exception of
Overseer voliva, are men with whom
Dowie has quarreled in the past. He
dismissed Deacon Speicher from all

York tomorrow is expressed on both
sides.
Significance is attached by the min
ers to the fact that there is no appar-
ent attempt on the part of the opera
tors to import non-union laborers,
which they regard as favorable sign.
The miners leaders are careful to
assert that no strike has been declar-
ed, the suspension, they claim, being
merely business necessity as the
miners have no arrangements with the
operators until the scale is adjusted
by the committee.

rOf his appointments in the church and
compelled him to leave Zion City. In
a long message received yesterday by
Voliva and which caused the "revolu-
tion" of today he ordered the instant
dismissal of Deacon Granger, who is
now all powerful in directing the af-
fairs of the community at Zion City.
Deacon Speicher who, before he be-
came convert to the faith of the Zion
City church was physician, declared
today that DoWie was a very sick man,
suffering with pulmonary trouble, par
alysis and dropsy and occasional de-
lirium.
1t is generally believed by the Off
GERS of the church that the deposed
reader will make fight to recover his
lost power. If this is done they de-
clared today the matter would go to
the courts.
Dowie's project for the establish
ment of colony in Mexico will pc
abandoned by the new administrators
of Zion City.
Dowie will be given an allowance,
according to advices from Zion to-
night, sufficient to maintain a resi-
dence in Mexico if he SO desires or he
will be received by the new officers
of the church as common citizen,
should he elect to return and take up
his residence in Zion City. No action
under the criminal laws will be taken
against him on account of the funds
he is alleged to have wasted, nor will
any civil action be brought to recover
If the deposed leader becomes obstrep-
erous, however, it was said that his
son Gladstone was prepared to make
revelations that would "startle the
world"
No reply to the cablegram sent to-
day from Zion City to Dowie is ex-
pected tonight, inasmuch as Dowie is
in town eight hours journey from
the telegraph station.
Overthrow Formally Announced.
The formal announcement of the
overthrow of John Alexander Dowie
was made tonight by Overseer John G.
Speicher, who presided over meet
ing of 5000 members of the church in
the tabernacle at Zion City.
The meeting opened with the quota
tion by various church dignataries of
passages from the bible expressive of
the sentiment which has grown up
against the self-styled prophet. The
crowd which filled the great structure
and which formally answered "yes"
and mo- when Dowie nodded or shook
mis- head, tonight applauded when he
was accused.
Overseer Speicher called out the
numbers of chapters and verses of
the Scriptures and in response the
various church officials and prominent
members who occupied seats upon the
platform quoted the passages called
for. The new dictator of Zion's for
tunes, Wilbur Glenn Voliva, respond
ing to the reference given him quoted
"Thou shalt not steal" Mrs. Jane
Dowis, wife of the first apostle" fol-
lowed. "Thou shall not bear false
witness against thy neighbor" was her
response. More applause followed.
The congregation then joined with
zest that seemed to indicate their be-
lief in the words Better days are
coming" Gladstone Dowie, son of
Doctor Dowie, and Overseer John Ex-
cell then explained to the audience the
new turn of affairs.

Ohio Regarded Hopeful.
Columbus, Ohio, April 2.-Notwith-
standing the expressed determination
of the majority of the Ohio coal oper-
ators not to grant an advance in wag-
es to their miners, the prospects of

Ohio fields seem decidedly more hope
full tonight.
The policy to be pursued by the
Ohio miners rests entirely with their
executive board, and President Green
will urge at the meeting tomorrow
that the question of signing contracts
be referred to the state officers and
the various local organizations.
