OBJECT TO SCHOOL SITE.
Fourth Warders Do Not Like Kimberly
 Avenue Location.

Fourth Warders Do Not Like Kimberly
 Avenue Location.
 The selection of the site for the new school on Kimberly avenue has created considerable protest from citizens in that vicinity. At the meeting of the board of finance last week an extra ap- propriation of $2,766 was voted to the board of education to erect the school, this addition being made necessary by the low-lying ground which requires that the building be based on piling.
 The citizens of the Fourth ward ob- feet to the site on the ground that the low, swampy ground makes it un- healthy, and that it is noisy because of being on a main thoroughfare. Fur thermore, they consider it dangerous to children on account of the many trolley cars, automobiles and carriages passing through Kimberly avenue.
 The board of education will hold a public hearing in it's rooms this even- ing, at which a delegation will probably be present to lay the objections to the site before the board

FIFE WITNESS, INSCRIPTION
Ashes From the Volcano Have Reached
 PreposterOus Proportions.

Naples, April 11.--Robert Underwood Johnson, associate editor of the Gen. tury Magazine, who has been an eye witness of the events of this locality of the last few days, said to-day to the Associated Press;
 Each day itbecomes more impossible to visit even at distance the afflicted districts. The ashes have reached pre- posterous propositions, filtered ito ev- erything, block the trains, trans, auto mobiles, carriages and horses. Only the soldiers seem to overcome it.
 Before the interruption I took a train for Tore Annunziata. On arriv- ing at Torres del Graco the heavens seemed to open and we were soon half buried in ashes and hot cinders. The train drew up in total darkness, reliev- ed only by lightning flashes. Thus we waited events. Soon the darkness took purple and yellow tinges, the detona- tions became louder than the loudest thunder clap and the ashes burnt our eyes. It was a perfect picture of Dantes' inferno. The train could not proceed the ashes were so thick on the track. Presently the train divided but was left behind. The poor wom- en fugitives, thinking they were on the point of losing their lives began to chant litanies for the dead, giving a last weird touch to the internal scene. However, carbineers came to our res cue, proposing to take us to the sea. We then found we were on a bridge with the sea on one side and Tore del Greco on the other hand, thirty feet below. In the binding darkness we de- scended hand in hand, a human rope, false step meaning death However, our troubles were not over The port was full of ashes also. Small boats could not put in or put out Wearily we trudged back to the station to find there was no prospect of a train. We had been five hours in that plight, so, seeing that heroic measures were nec- essary, with a companion I trudged miles in two or three feet of ashes to Portici, where finally we found a cab which brought us to Naples.'

 Rowland of the Hyperion Sends Call
 fer Police and Central Officers Re-
 spOnd-Management Merely Rented
 the Theater and With That Their
 Responsibility Ceased-MOney for the
 Tickets Bought ut Box Office VIII be
 Refunded.
 A few minutes of excitement not down on the bills occurred at the Fly perion theater last evening. A Yiddish play was to have been given by com pany from New York, but owing to the smallness of the audience, and fear of not getting their pay, the players refus- ed to give the show and then the audi erlce wanted it's money back. Then the excitement began. The people of the audience crowded around the box office, clamoring for their money, and became so demonstratiVe that Manager Rowland telephoned to police headquar- ters and squad of the finest" was sent to the scene; and with their ap- pearance matters quieted down. By this time Manager Rowland had found some one who could talk in Yiddish and thus give the crowd explanations that the money paid would be refunded in due time, and then the people began to disperse,
 The play billed was 'The Destruction of Jerusalem" and for short time it booked as if it might have been changed to the destruction of the theater box office, so excited were some of the peo- ple who wanted back their moneyl This was particularly true of the gallery gods, who evidently put more value on their quarter than did those who had bought the higher-priced seats. The play was to have been given for the benefit of the new Hebrew free school, and was not in the hands of the Fly perion management, they only renting the house for the performance. Man. ager Rowland stated last night that the person WHO SlSuGu lh6 COltIdCL lOI tlS rent of the house was Dr. Blumensten, a dentist of Congress avenue, the other party interested being a MT. Nussen- holtz, and that they or their agents, had sold the bulk of the tickets, for which the people wanted their money returned. Only some thirty or forty dollars was taken in at the box office. When Manager Rowland looked around for Messrs. Blumenstein and Nussen- holtz to make an explanation he found that they had disappeared and left the genial manager to face the music. The audience after this slowly dispersed.
 The Hyperion management stated last night that those who bought tick cts at the box office would, on proof of the same, have their money refunded, while those who bought of Blumenstein or Nussenholtz, or any of their agents, who have to look to them for their money.

ROADS FIX RATiS.
Further Revelations at Hearing of
 Abuses of CoaI Trade.

AUuScb OA SONh
 Philadelphia April 11.-That rates are fixed by the traffic associations" composed of various coal-carrying rail- roads was the admission dreTn to-day from railroad officials at the final hear ing of the interstate commerce com missions investigation into the alleged abuses of the coal trade. Through Jo- seph G. Searles, coal traffic manager of the Pennsylvania Railroad company who is also chairman of the All-Rail Traffic association, is was learned that this organization not only fixes the per- centage of tonnage allotted to each rail- road, but also establishes the rates Counsel for the commission produced the minutes of a meeting of the Tide water Bituminous Steam Coal Traffic association held on September 19, 1900. The records showed that a resolution offered by the Norfolk and Western company permitting that company and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to carry tidewater coal al the rate of Sl'25 a ton was voted down and that the rate was fixed at $14O a ton on MT. Searles' resolution.
 In explaining the establishment of rates Mir. Searles said that if any com pany should reduce the rate he said it would demoralize the general situation. MT. Searles denied that this was an un- derstanding to prevent competition. It was shown by the records of the traffic association" that in 1889 the rate on soft coal to New York and New Eng land points was $1.55, except to the Bos- ton and Maine connection, which had a $1.45 rate. In 1900 these rates were raised to $1S5 and $1,75, respectively. Since then there has been no change.

KING RESTS DoHER1Y.
Local Man, However, Puts Up Great
 Fight.

Local Man, However, Puts Up Great
 Fight.
 Jeff Doherty, of this city, gave fine account of himself in a twelve-round boxing exhibition with Mosey King, of New London, at Music hall last night. There had been a great deal of interest in the meeting of these two men, and the one thousand spectators who were fortunate enough to be present enjoyed a rattling good bout. There is some diversity of opinion as to who was the winner. No decision was given by Ref cree Dick Howell, of Bridgeport, but the predominating opinion was that King deserved it, although not by a wide margin. Doherty appeared dis tressed in the latter rounds and con- stantly held Kings arms. This be- came so common that shouts of let go' and misses were heard dozen times. Despite this, the local man showed his worth as a fighter. He landed pretty heavily on Kings jaw several times, but the latter offset this with persistent left jabs and drives to the wind These were not as spectac- ular as Doherty's vicious swings, but they were just as telling.
 In the prellminaries the referee stop ped the bout between Marx and Ford, of this city, in the sixth round, Ford easily having outclassed his opponent. Willie Cornell, of South Birmingham, stopped Jimmy Mccarthy, of Bridge port, in the second round,
 The exhibition was we'll conducted and refereed and reflects credit on the members of the club.

DOWIE BEGINS LEGAL FIGHT
BIS COUNSEL FILES 4 BILL IN
 CHANCERY

Aside-ApOstie Expects Soon to En-
 ter the City-His Faithful Nurse De-
 serts Him-Heard That He Had Ma-
 Iigned His Wife and Son.
 Chicago, April 11.-John Alexander Dowie and his counsellors tomorrow will begin the fight to regain the $20,- OOOOOO, said to involved in the control of Zion City, by filing in the courts a bill in chancery, petitioning that the transfer of Zion City properties made to Deacon Alexander Granger by Gen. eral Overseer Wilbur Glenn Yoliva, as Attorney for Dowie, be set aside.
 The grounds upon which the petition will be based will be that Voliva Granger and Mrs. Dowie endeavored fraudulently and illegally to despoil the first apostle" of the property. The court will also be asked to issue an injunction commanding that Voiiva be prohibited from in any way handling the estate.
 These legal steps are only prelim- mary, however, for Dowie and his friends intend to go to Zion City soon, according to Deacon James F, Peters, who, together with Deacon John A. Lewis, has been constant attendant and adviser of the first apostle' since he left Mexico on his trip north.
 Dowie lost an adherent to-day in Miss Elizabeth McLennan, who has ac- companied Dowie as a nurse on his long journey to regain health. Miss Me Lennan went to Zion City after 8 heat ed interview in which she told Dowie that she could ns longer remain as member of his party, because she heard Mrs. Dowie and Gladstone Dowie had been shamefully maligned by the first apostle" in a recent speech.
 In referring to a threat, which it is asserted that Gladstone Dowie made, iintimating that if his father did not. cease in his attacks on Mrs. Dowie, Gladstone would reveal certain deeds said to have occurred in 1877 in Aus tralia, Dowie to-day said:
 q remember nothing particular that occurred in the year 1S77 l know of no reason why any exposure of my acts during that period of time should cause me to be afraid. Coming to think of it, however, there is one thing that happened in the year 1877 which l greatly regret, and that is that the Lord gave unto me son, whom I nam ed Gladstone. All my life I've tried to give him counsel and supply him with money, but my efforts in leading him in the patrs that l would have walked have been without avail. Now, unless this young man ceases making these threats and insinuations, l will be forc- ed to reveal his true character to the world; it will be story of degeneracy that will be shocking"
 Dowie's attorneys conferred with Overseer Voliva to-day.
