BY Associated Pres,

CHICAGO, April 13.-Peace hovers
over the warning factions that are en-
deavoring to secure control of Zion
City. This statement was authorized
tonight by the legal advisers of both
Dowie and General Overseer Voliva.
After an all-day conference, Attorney
Emil c. Wetten, representing Dowie,
said:
1--WE are nearer a peaceful solution
of this question tonight than we have
been at any stage of the proceedings
We have changed our minds relative to
the filing of bill in equity, declaring
the transferring of the ownership of
the property of Zion City by Voliva to
Deacon Alexander Granger to be void,
and will await further developments.
Today, as a matter of formality, we
filed paper in, the circuit court of
Lake county, of this state, declaring
that the power of attorney granted to
General Overseer Voliva by John Alex
ander Dowie was absolutely void, in
asmuch as Voliva had not acted in ao-
cordance with the instructions given
him in reference to the execution of the
powers delegated to him by Dowie, and
ity and misapply the property of Dowie,
and that thereupon Dowie forwarded
Voliva a telegram revoking the power
of attorney.
Court to Decide
According to the contestants. the de-
cision of the court upon the validity
of telegraphic revocation of the power
of attorney will decide the question as
to in whom rests the control of Zion
City. On this question Attorney Wet
ten said:
1.-THE telegraphic power of attorney
delegated to Voliva by Dowie is abso-
lutely legal and will stand in any court
of law"
At the termination of today's con-
ference, which was participated in by
Judge V. V. Barnes, legal adviser of
Zion City; Jacob Newman. council for
Voliva and his forces and Attorney
Wetten. representing Dowie, Mr.. New
man said:
"Dowie and his advisers admitted
today that we have in our possession
documentary evidence to the effect
that Dowie and his advisers admit that
ninety-five per cent of the property
belongs to the Christian Catholic
church, and he has Furthermore acqui-
esced in the proposition that If he is
given five per cent of this property
WHcli liG lldo DCcil liASleiiiCu IOhiPOA hi ~
in control, both enthusiastically and
financially, he will retire. In other
words, Dowie desires to be vindicated,
reinstated. with the full powers at
tending the first apostleship of the
Christian Catholic church. whereupon
he will issue an edict declaring that
ninety-five per cent of the property
of Zion City belongs to the church
and that five per cent belongs to him
(Dowie).
According to conservative estimates
given out by the two factions, this
would give to Dowie $1,00O.00o and to
the church $4,000, ,000."

CONTROL OF COIN
IDEA is TO HELP
MONEY MARKET
Scheme to Put the National City
Bank of New York In POSI-
tion of the Bank of
England

Special 10 The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 13.-It was
learned today on trustworthy author
ity that the leading interests upon the
stock exchange have been contemplat-
ing steps they believe may serve to
regulate money market conditions in
this city
1t is proposed that members of the
stock exchange shall subscribe $25,OOO,-
900 or $50, 100000 which will be applied
either in the form of an increase in the
capital stock of the National City
bank or to be employed in the organi-
zation of a new trust company to be
operated under the direction of the
National City bank.
Those behind the movement declare
that either shape this project may
take would place the New York money
market and stock exchange in a much
stronger position than either has ever
before occupied, and particularly in so
far as operations of foreign exchanges
are concerned; in short, that some
such control over the international
money market as is now exercised by
the Bank of England could be obtained
by such an institution.

OFFICER WINGS
BOLD BURGLAR
PISTOL DUEL FOUGHT ON
FIGUEROA STREET
Bad Man Makes Getaway, but Leaves
Trail of Blood on Sidewalk.
ProwIer Discovered at Dor
sey Residence

Special Officer J. S. Hendrickson
fought pistol duel with a burglar
who attempted to enter the Steven w.
Dorsey residence 2610 South Figueroa
street, last night, and judging from the
trail of blood left by the midnight
prowler one of the shots fired must
have taken effect. Hendrickson es-
capped the burglars bullets, although
some of them came uncomfortably
close to him.
While passing the residence the Of
ficer discovered the burglar at work in
an attempt to gain an entrance to the
Dorsey home. Creeping toward his
man, with the intention of surprising
him and effecting his arrest, Hendrick-
son was enabled to get within a few
feet of him before being discovered.
Makes Break for Liberty
AS the burglar made a break to get
away Hendrickson called to him to
halt, but the sight of the officer, re-
volver in hand. only seemed to lend
wings to his feet. Later a running
fight ensued.
Several times the men leveled their
revolvers at each other, took aim and
fired, but neither was seriously
wounded
A hasty examination of the sidewalk
over which the burglar sped and over
which he made such fast time as to
distance his pursuer plainly showed
drops of blood, and the officer believes
he at least slightly winged the fellow.
1t is understood that the Dorsey
family is away from home and but for
the timely arrival of the officer the
residence would have been looted from
cellar to garret.
1t will be remembered that Officer
Hendrickson became involved in a
shooting affray with several desperate
men about a year ago at Chester place.
One of the gang, a man named Kinery,
was wounded and later identified and
arrested,

NEW OPINION IN MoYER CASE
Chief Justice Gabbert of Colorado.
Incarceration of Meyer by Mill
itary Is Upheld
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
DENVER, Colo, April 13.-Chief
Justice Gabbert of the state supreme
court yesterday filed supplemental
opinion in the Meyer case. 1t is gen.
orally conceded that this new opinion
will take precedence over the former
majority opinion as the latest express
sion of the court. The chief justice
declares that the governor of the state
has the power to suspend habeas cor
pus at his discretion, and that the
courts cannot review the action.
The body of the new opinion is taken
up with excerpts from an opinion of
Justice Johnson in a case in the Phil
ipplne islands, in which the power of
the governor general to suspend the
privileges of the writ of habeas corpus
during a state of insurrection in the
province of Batangas was upheld
The chief justice finds the case an
alagous to the situation presented in
Colorado during the labor troubles,
and draws conclusions in which the
incarceration of Charles H. Meyer by
the military is upheld.

Vigorously Pressing Negotiations for

Against Germany
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 1S.-Great
Britain has begun vigorously to press
negotiations for an Anglo Russian
entente, with the purpose of completing
the triple alliance of Great Britain,
France and Russia against Germany,
which has long been the aim of British
policy. The development at the
Algeciras conference, where Great
Britain, France and Russia acted in
unison, and the participation of Eng
lish bankers in the big Russian loan,
furnished practical and favorable
moment, and Great Britain is striking
while the iron is hot.
Besides, the British government has
recently given Russia proof of her de-
sire to settle outstanding difficulties
by inducing English bankers not to
take the Persian loan, on the ground
that it might be regarded as prejudical
to Russian interests.
The sentiment here in favor of the
entente has also been decided by the
declination of Germany to participate
in, the Russian loan and by publica-
tions in Russia hostile to Germany,
which have been directly inspired by
British sources.
Count Lamsdorff and latterly Premier
Witte have favored an Anglo Russian
entente and the consummation is re-
garded as practically certain

Mrs. Ballington Booth of the Volun-
teers of America, and which people OF
Flushing have fought against, was
sold yesterday by Mrs. Booth. She
disposed of the land, comprising ten
and a half acres. for $4,000 to a real
estate dealer Mrs. Booth said last
night:

a victory for my enemies. l have
neither been bought out or burned out
of town. / have sold because / fee
that 1 can enlarge the charity in some
other locality with the profit on this
transaction"
In Hope hall Mrs. Booth planned to
have home where an ex-convlct
could go when released from prison
and remain until employment was
found for him. Since it's start in De-
cember, 1S99 $500 inmates have been
cared for.
Two years ago several ex-convicts
living on the charity of Hope hall were
arrested after a series of robberies
in Flushing. and some of them were
convicted. This started a hue and cry
against the institution, which Mrs.
Booth vigorously fought.
Town meetings were held to protest
and a committee called 1.-THE twenty
five" was appointed to devise means
of ridding the town of the hall.
Hope hall statistics show that of the
2S0O eX-convicts who passed through
the hall 20 per cent became good citl-
zens and per cent went back to their
evil ways. The remaining 25 per cent
were difficult to trace.

the hearings on the ship subsidy bill. it
listened first to a letter from Albert
Winsor. president of the Boston
five steamships between the Pacific
coast and Japan. Mr.. Winsor informed
the committee that unless the subsidy

out of commission and the route aban-
doned. AS it is, he said, the company
is operating at a. loss, being in direct
competition with three British ships
operating from Vancouver and receiv-
ing a subsidy of 1921 900. 1t is also in
direct competition with three Japanese
ships receiving subsidies of 100000 per
annum. The amount the Boston ships
receive is $4,000 for carrying the mails
The letter further stated that If the
subsidy bill is passed the line will be
enlarged.
Former Representative Loud of Cali
fornia spoke for the bill. He said the
Spreckels line from San Francisco to
Australia is operating at loss and was
to be abandoned and the ships trans
ferred to the Japanese merchant marine
unless the subsidy pill passes
A delegation of California lumbermen
was held in advocacy of an amendment
to the ship subsidy bill, which will
give government aid to vessels plying
between the Pacific and Atlantic coasts
of the United States.

Man
BY Associated Press.

BAKERSFIELD. April Backward
Allison Thomas. a Southern Pacific
lineman and locator of rich claims at
Goldfield, has been missing for three
months. Miss Cate Cuddenback of
Tehachapi, half owner in the claims,
is making anxious inquiry as to the
whereabouts of Thomas and is prepar-
ing to leave for Goldfleld with her
father to look after the property.
A year ago in December, Thomas
went to Goldf1eld and located a num-
ber of claims, making Miss Cuddenback
a party to the location. On the most
valuable of these claims the "Catie,"
the surface assays showed a valuation
of 5000 and later, when a 100foot shaft
was sunk, the ore taken out at that
depth was assayed for $4,000 ton.
When everything worked so promis-
ingly for the young lineman he sud-
denly disappeared and has not been
seen since January 27 last All efforts
to locate him have failed and his
friends fear that an Ed Thomas who
was recently murdered at Bisbee, Arlz,
was none other than the Tehachap
lineman.
The coroner at Bisbee has been noti-
fed.
