DOWlE AGAIN ENTERS
lions TABERNACLE

Chicago, April SO.-Standine nm
steadily and with great effort before
an audience Of $500 people in Zion
City tabernacle last night, John Alex
ander Dowie, challenged his traduc-
ers, If any were present, to rise to
their feet and make their accusations
before the whole congregation.
The followers of Voliva. the naOv
leader In Zion City's affairs, however,
were at the moment attending q re-
vival meeting set for the same hour at
the Zion college building, a quarter
OF mile distant. There 1000 OF the
city's inhabitants were gathered, to-
gether with the choir, now Invested OF
its ecclesiastical garb, and the Zion
band and orchestra.
Those who listened to the words OF
Dowie were for the most part visitors
from other towns, brought in BY hun
dreds by the electric cars and railroad
trains. For over an hour the crowd
in the tabernacle waited for the APP
pearance Of the venerable apostle. In
front Of the platform and in the choir
loft were probably $50 of the faithful
Borne in BY Ethiopians.
Dowie was borne bodily by two stall
wart negro attendants from an ante
room up the stairs to the platform,
and deposited upon his feet before the

He delivered his address and sermon
seated before the altar. Only ooca-
sionally, when reused to an unusual
pitch OF earnestness did he arise 10 his
feet.
Mrs. Dowie sat ina chair among
Dowie's followers in the congregation.
Except for the presence upon tho plat

ALARM OVER FUNDs|CONTROL Shingles
MANUFACTURERS WILL TRY 70
GET TOGETHER.
Organization Planned that Will
Control the Output Of Shingles
at all Points on Pacific Coast
from California to British Col
umbia.
Seattle, May a.-The Daily Times

Seattle, May 2.-The Daily Times
says:
Pacific Coast single manufactur-
ers will attempt Saturday to perfect
an organization that will control the
output of shingles at all points on the
Coast. If the organization is success
full the mill men will absolutely con.
troll the single situation, establishing
q permanent ratio of grade valuations
and from time to time regulating the
prices as the demand dictates.
Washington, British Columbia,
Oregon and California manufacturers
will participate in the meeting, held
under the auspices Of the Single
Mills Bureau, which elects officers this
week. The Coast conference will i'm
mediately follow the annual meeting
of the Washington single manufac-
turers.
"'There will be representatives OF
Eastern retailers at the meeting. The
Eastern dealers will demand that pro-
tective measures be adopted which
will protect them from bear raids.
Complaint has been made by the re-
tailers that several of the large whole
salers on the Coast have been Offering
price lists under the market. If the
market advances instead of collapsing
under the hammering it is claimed the
Western men will not fill orders. The
uncertainty, too, of the single situa-
ton, makes it impossible for dealers
to forecast the trade.
"A permanent grading system is
asked by the single manufacturers
who believe there should be a basis
upon which all prices can be regu-
lated. As it is, the spread between
clears and stars, for instance. has run
from 30 cents at present to 80 cents
earlier in the year and last fall.
I'm perfecting combination OF
all Coast manufacturing interests the
shingle men will not attempt to do
away with local organizations. In
British Columbia the Canadians will
keep up their own association; the two
California redwood associations will
be maintained, as will both the Ore
gon and Washington associations. 1t
is possible, though, that the Washing
ton association will be the controlling
factor.
s..Shingle manufacturers estimate
that Washington shingles supply rs
percent of the trade of the country.
It is insisted that the actual control
of the shingle situation is held in this
state. With the addition of other
Coast manufacturers willing to coop.
crate in an output regulation a firm
grip can be kept on prices at all times.

CRATER NOT so HIGH.
Recent Eruption Materially Changed
Shape of Vesuviua.

Shape of Vesuvius.
Naples, April 3O.-Prof. Matteucci,
director Of the royal observatory, has
succeeded in reaching the crater Of
Vesuvius. He describes the spectacle
as one Of great grandeur. The dame
ter of the crater, which before the
eruption was about 100 feet, is now
about 5000 feet There is no erup-
ton of incandescent stones as before
the recent outburst, but small guam
tity of ashes is being elected.
Vesuvius seems to be assuming the
character of dead volcano. The cone
Of the crater, which before the erup-
ton rose to height of 5000 feet
above the sea level, has diminished

San FRANCISCO AFRAID OF PRO.
VISION SHORTAGE.
Only los Carloads Reported Al
Enroute SecretaryTaf Wires,
However, that a Million Dollar,
L Still at the Disposal Of the
Committee.

oAAn W CHARACTERIZATION was created at
the meeting Of the general municipal
committee yesterday when Mayor
Schimts stated that the city faced q
shortage In the food supply.
1t had been the popular belief. and
that OF many officials also, that San
Francisco, through the generous aid
OF the nation, had been placed in DO
sltion above want for q long time to
come, and the mayors declaration
came In the nature of q painful sur
prise.
With no immediate prospect that
conditions will be so normalized that
the community will be able to feed
and take care of itself, the supply of
food on hand or under way is becom-
ing distressingly small. No man con.
nected with the relief affairs is will.
ing to hazard an opinion as to when
relief work may be abandoned.
Only 1OS-- Cara Coming.
Mayor Schmitz informed the gen.
eral committee yesterday morning
that, from information in his posses
sion 1t appeared that 700 carloads Of
food and supplies Of various descrip-
lions had been distributed since the
morning Of the earthquake, on April
IL, and the Southern Pacific, Santa Fe
and other transportation lines had
only information Of 1O8 carloads on
the way.
"If," said the mayor, ''this infor-
nation is correct, and have no rea-
SON to doubt it, we will soon be worse
of than We were week ago. IF the
information has gone abroad through
the country that we are amply sup
piled, it is most unfortunate, for it is
apparent that we are not.
ut Is not even known how much
money we can depend upon with
which to purchase supplies, for you
have heard from Mr.. Phelan on sew
eral occasions that part, at least, of
this money subscribed by individuals
or companies in the East is being dis
bursed through private agents here
Nonperishable Food Needed.
while it is true that contributions
Of money will be very much more to
the purpose than contributions OF sup
plies, 1t should be announced to the
world that if the one Is not available
the other will be most gratefully re-
ceived. l am now speaking of nom
perishable supplies. and as to such
things as eggs, milk, butter and the
like, it will be better II we continue
to buy these things In the immediate
vicinity"
Chairman Phelan, of the COMMITTEES
on finance, supplementing the remarks
Of the mayor, said he had not as yet
received q reply to his tele-
gram to Secretary Taft asking what
the relief COMMITTEES might expect
from the fund Of 81, 500, 600 appropri-
ated by congress-, and in the absence
Of such reply continued to assume
that this money would be available.
He had infol nation, however, that
the $500, 900 transmitted Saturday by
Secretary Taft was given by him as
president of the National Red Cross,
and was in no sense a contribution by
the government.

Undimmed, unmeasured foods of light,
Zenith of God, unknown Of night,
Absolute glory, thou shalt stay!

TO Hin that Believeth.

The current Of healing virtue had to
pass from Jesus through the father to
the child. The Lord demanded person
al faith on the fathers part. :
It is not enough Tor you to bring your
child where Jesus is, to put him in the
way Of good, to send him to the Sab
bath school or take him to church. IL
you wish Jesus to bless him, to heal
him, to save him, he asks that you be
q believer yourself. This Is the condis
ton. With this condition all things
may be looked for: All things can be
to him that believeth."

Jesus In Near.

Jesus Is nearer than the seat you
sit upon," says Gypsy Smith. Nearer
than the handkerchief that wipes the
tears away. He Is nearer than the
arm Of the loved one upon which you
lean. Jesus Is where you are at this
moment. He Is passing by. He is
going to speak to you. He Is going to
call you. He is going to lay that
wounded hand on your heart to arrest
your attention and open your eyes, to
awaken new ideas, new loves, new
fountains. He is going to touch new
springs. He is going to give you 4
chance. God help you to take it,"

were acting from the highest motives and for the
very best interests of this young woman

Miss Hays had ignored a mandate Of court, when
Justice Davis firmly said:

TO HELP FOREIGN WOMEN.
Home for Teachers and Educated Persons To
Be Founded,

class Of persons that has heretofore been
much neglected by Network philanthropists
will be provided for by organization to be
formed next Thursday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. Otto Kiliani. No. 116 East 57th-st. It will
have for its object the assistance of educated
foreign women, mostly teachers and governesses,
who are constantly coming to this country to
gain a livelihood. The German consul is much
interested in the enterprise as these women are
constantly coming to him in their perplexities,
and among others associated with 1t are Mrs.
Isaac Guggenhem and Mr. Ludwig Sutro The
real originator of the movement is said to be a
German governess whose experience during
twenty years of seIf-suDport ii America has
taught her many things about the hardships
which women of her class endure.
Her work began in a small way about six
months ago. and the first step toward the es-
tablishment Of a home for the class of women
in question was taken in the renting of a couple
of rooms. It is now purposed, as soon as the
permanent organization is formed to take
fat, where good board will be provided at
reasonable rates. which will serve as a social
centre for those who often know absolutely no
one in the city and where everything possible
will be done through advice and sympathy to
aid the foreign woman in the difficult task OF
adjusting herself to her new environment. Ult-
mateIy, it is hoped that the fiat will become
a Clubhouse anu OllS iIool VII po uSSu % a
home for aged governesses and teachers.
The condition of many of these women at
present is said TO be pitiabe.
They come TO this country because they
must" said Mrs. Kiliani yesterday. In Ger
many there are practically only two professions
open to a gentlewoman. teaching and nursing,
and both of them hopelessly Overcrowded.
So the woman failing TO find employment at
home comes TO America to find similar cOndi-
ton here. Ignorant of the customs of the coun-
try every one takes advantage Of her. In
short time her resources may be cone and while
there are homes and charities for the humber
class of immigrants, little provision is made
for the educated ones and often such women are
obliged TO take places as maids or in other
capacities not at all suited TO them, and when
they do succeed in establishing themselves they
frequently send home all the money they can
snare 10 relatives Thus after life of toll they
find themselves destitute in their old age.
Although this work is largely German in its
oriein and auspices il is not intended that its
dement's shall be limited TO women Of that ma
fionality.
