President Roosevelt Converted
10 the NGV-StyIG Spelling
List Of 800 Words That Hereafter in All Messages and
Documents From the White House VIII Be Printed

President Roosevelt announced his
conversion to the spelling reform
movement. He has issued orders to

House shall be printed in accordance
witk the recommendations of the
spelling reform committee headed by
Professor Brander Matthews, OF Col
umbia, and backed by Andrew Car
negie
Spelling reform had its greatest
impetus when Andrew Carnegie
made an offer to finance it. For
many years professors and others
have been laboring to have the public
accept reforms in the spelling of GER
tain words. The public, while admit
ting that the existing spelling is a
pathological monstrosity, refused to
take kindly to the suggested changes.
When Andrew Carnegie announced
himself as convert to the reform
the matter was discussed more than
at any time withinthe past 100 years.
Mark Twain promised to take it up
after Mr. Carnegie had announced
his conversion and had agreed to
finance the organization Of reformers
calling themselves the Simplified
Spelling Board, of which Brander
Matthews is the president of the Ex-
ecutive Board.
This board announced at the be-
ginning that it did not propose any
radical or revolutionary scheme Of
reform, but simply wanted to make
easy the spelling of certain words. 1t
selected 900 words which it asked
the public to accept.
Following is the list of 800 words
already given out by the Simplifled
Spelling Board in which changes are
proposed:

DOWIE LOSES HIS JOB
DEPOSITION AS HEAD OF CHURCH
FOLLOWED BY TRANSFER
OF PROPERTY.

Chicago, April 2.-The open revolt
against John Alexander Dowie which
took place Sunday has been followed
by the transfer of all the public prop
erty of the Church Of Zion to Alex
ander Granger, the man whose dismis.
sal has been directed by Dowie in a
telegram from Mexico.
A warrant deed and a bill Of sale
were filed during the day in the Lake
county circuit court at Waukegan.
ILL.,, by w. G. Voliva, the present head
Of Zion, who was appointed by Dowie
some months ago, by which all the
lands standing in the name Of Dowie
and his wife are made over to Gran
ger for the benefit Of Zion City and
the followers of Dowie. Voliva holds
from Dowie a power of attorney and
by virtue of it he has turned over to
Granger everything portable in Zion
City, ever to the bed of Dowie. All
the effects of Shiloh House," the
Dowie residence, the horses and car
riages, the machinery in the mills and
everything in the name Of Dowie out
side of the personal belongings of the
residents of the town has been taken
away from the control of the deposed
first apostle"
Later in the day Granger made a re-
conveyance Of all the property to Vo-
Iva, thus giving to him all the author
ity and power formerly held by Dowie.
Most of the officials Of the church
were present at the meeting Sunday
when Dowie was deposed and many Of
them denounced Dowie as having de-
ceived the people and wasted their
money in extravaganza. The meet
ing, however, refused to hold that he
had knowingly erred and John G..
Speicher, the former overseer and
once second in command, who was re.
Gently deposed peremptorily, declared
Dowie to be insane. Mrs. Dowie, in
her address, also upheld that declara-
! ton. ..
