BAY STATES NOVEL CASE.
Appeal by Coal Company Whose License
 Was Suspended.

Boston, April 9.--A case without pre- cedent in the judicial history of the commonwealth came before the courts to-day when the Metropolitan Coal Co.,, whose license was suspended last week by Secretary of State William M. Olin, pending an appeal on the ground that the company was charging an unrea- sonable and extortionate price for coal, led such an appeal in the office of the clerk of the superior court late to-day.
 The appeal was in the form of a brief document reciting the reason for the suspension of teo company's license and alleging that the company was ag- grieved at such suspension.
 No action was taken by the court to- day, as the appeal was entered a few moments before the clerks office closed for the day.
 The statute provides that the appeal shall be heard "as soon as may be" by a justice of the superior court, "whose decision sustaining, modifying or an nulling the action of the licensing au- thority shall be nal and binding upon all parties"
 It is expected that this clause may give rise to the question of the constl. nationality of the statute as the su- preme court is generally the court of last resort.

MORGAN AND M'LAURIN
Addresses Senate on Rate Bill--Latter
 for Court of Review.

Washington, April 9.-Mr. McLaurin and MT, Morgan addressed the senate to-day on the railroad rate question, the former advocating legislation and the latter opposing it. The Mississippi senator announced his intention to sup port an amendment providing for a court review of the decisions of the in terstate commerce commission, and also stated his adherence tokthe Bailey amendment prohibiting theF temporary suspension of the commissions orders by the inferior courts. He criticized what he characterized as an effort to inject politics into the consideration of the bill.
 MT. Morgan took a position that the proposed legislation was an interfer- ence with the rights of the states to control the corporations created by themselves, and said that the best way to check exorbitant railroad rates was to keep the waterways in such condi- tion as to insure competition.

SMUGGLERS ON BAT7LESHIP
$75O, 1000 WORTH OF DUTIABLE
 G0ODS BROUGHT ASHORE.

Hurried From the Warship at San Fran
 cisco When Orders Were Received
 That Officers and Men Must Have
 Their Baggage in Readiness for In-
 spection When the Vessel Reached
 BremertOn.
 San Francisco, April 9.-The Evening Post publishes story to-day to the effect that there is a strong belief that dutiable goods valued at $750,O0O were smuggled ashore in launches from the battleship Oregon just before she de- parted for the Bremerton navy yards. It says that an order has been issued instructing the inspectors at Bremen ton to delay every man of the battle, ship until the whole matter has been sifted to the bottom, and the customs authorities throughout the country have been notified to find and examine the questionable packages, If possible.
 The battleship was scheduled to get away from Bremerton on Saturday morning, but was delayed on account of not having received sailing orders
 At noon, however, says the Post "a telegram was received from cne navy department stating that officers and men must have their baggage in readiness for inspection by the customs officers when the Oregon reaches Brem- erton. This notice was posted in the mess room and the news flashed over the ship like lightning. It was then, according to those who watched the whole scene, that the goods were hur- ried ashore"
 The Post then says the record of the Wells Fargo Co. show that they gave receipts on 2,S9O packages taken from the Oregon. The Santa Flo railway gave shipping bills for 1,6O0 trunks and cases, many of which weighed several hundred pounds.
 Acting Inspector of Customs Ham ilton when asked regarding the matter said that the statement regarding the alleged smuggling had been conveyed to the customs officials who had at once proceeded to verify the report, sending ont the orders referred to and making an Investigation here, but as yet noth- | ing definite has been established.

 cer Not Proper Administrators.

Washington, April 9.--Notwithstand- ing that this was district day in the house and that body resolved itself into a common council for the purpose Of making laws for the District of Co., lumbia, general interest was shown in the bills requiring nonresident pupils to pay tuition and regulating the em- ployment of child labor.
 MT. Hepburn, of Iowa, replying to a long speech of MT. Sims, of Tennessee, in which he advocated self-government for the people of the District of Colum- bia. made defense of the form of the government, but criticized it's admin istration. He did not think two news papermen and one army officer, who constituted the board of commissioners, the proper personnel for such a govern ment While he admired the orator1cal powers of the newspapermen on the board, he thought it would be better for them to improve the city streets than to make speeches.

DOWIE WILL NEVER LIVE
 WITH HIS WIFE AGAIN
CHARGE THAT HE INTENDED TO ESTABLISH HAREM DE-
 CIDES HIM.

Story Causes Deposed Apostle Great
 Anguish-Mrs. DOwie the Cause of
 Most of His TroubIe-DecIares She,
 Has Spurred On Voliva and Others
 Shielded Her for Years But Her
 Strange Conduct Has Now Passed Be-
 yOnd Human Endurance.
 Little Rock, Ark, April 9.-Dr. John Alexander Dowie will never again live with his wife. This disclosure he made this afternoon to a representative of the Associated Press for whom he sent. His final determination to separate from Mrs. DoWie was made after he had received and read the Chicago pa- pers of last Friday containing a story to the effect that he had intended to establish harem in his Mexican col ony. He ascribes this story to Mrs Dowie and his son, Gladstone. This story caused Dowie great mental anguish.
 How could they be so cruel? How could they cause to be published such a thing?" he said over and over again.
 When he had regained his composure he told of his irrevocable decision never to live with Mrs. Dowie again.
 'She is the cause of most of my trouble" he reiterated. "She has spurred on Voliva and the others, un- til this dreadful trouble came, and my persecution was complete.
 ttTTo,. x,aors r +ysoJ 4a .ts1II tl.s4 her strange conduct has now passed be- yond the point of human endurance. Money and jealousy were at the bottom of it all, She was incensed because | wanted to leave so much to Zion. May God forgive her.
 T offered her 1-2 per cent. of the vast estate. It should have satisfied her. for it would have provided amply l for her wants. As for her Jealousy, who can account for that. only know | before my God that my life has been pure and blameless These stores about polygamy are more than cruel-- they are shocking
 Deacons James Peters and John A. Lewis were present during the inter- view and both were deeply affected,
 Tt is a dreadful thing to do, but pr. Dowie is in the right There Is noth- ing nov possible but separation. For him to live with Mrs. Dowie would be a sin before God, they said.
 Dowie passed through Little Rock at 9 o'clock this afternoon, more than four hours late. This. was partly due to the delay in Texarkana and also u delay in crossing the Saline river. When the train approached a bridge at this point it was said that the struc- l ture was ablaze. As the train was late the engineer determined not to take any chance on further tie-up and ran straight across the bridge. Had the train been 10 minutes later the burning bridge must have collapsed.
 Dowie, learning of the incident, de- clared that this was most favorable omen for him; that the Lord had pur- posely delayed the destruction of the bridge to enable him to cross 1t; that the Lord had willed for him to pros ceed in safety to Chicago.
 DoWie declared that he would win in the fight to prove that he is the re- incarnation of Elijah II. During the entire trip Dr. Dowie was closely guarded by a giant negro. TIfs negro was picked up in Jamaica and he has been carried along by Dowie as his body guard through Mexico and on the present trip.

JAPAN TO OPEN PORTS.
starts to Put Into Effect in Manchuria
 the Open Door Policy.

Washington, April 9,-The following statement was given out today at the Japanese legation:
 Owing to the fact that the with drawal of the troops from Manchuria not having sufficiently progressed, the Japanese government hitherto has neither permitted citizens and vessels of foreign countries to enter the ports and regions of Manchuria nor allow foreign consuls to proceed to thelr posts therein. Considerable progress, however, having now been made in this respect, the Japanese government has decided in accordance with the prin- ciples of oper door and equal oppor- tunity ever advocated by them, to per. init citizens and vessels of foreign countries to enter from May i, An Tung- Hsien and Ta-Tung- -Kao, and all low foreign consuls to proceed to their posts at An-Tung- -Hsien.
 From June foreign consuls will be allowed to proceed to their posts al Mukden, and travelling of foreigners E, the interior of Manchuria will be per- mitted in so far as military exigen- cies do not prevent it. It has further been decided that the Japanese govern ment will open Dalny (Ta-Lien- Wan) to the commerce of the world in as near future as possible.
 Judging from the present condition of the interior of Manchuria it is inn possible for the Japanese authorities to afford such foreign travellers ade- quate protection and facilities in hous. ing and other matters. Those, however who enter the interior of Manchuria do so entirely at their own risk. and the Japanese government does not hold itself responsible for any injury ol damage which they may suffer from bandits or maurauders."

 Chicago, April 9.-Congressman Nich- olas Longworth was the guest of honor at dinner given tonight in the Audi torium hotel by the Hamilton club in celebration of the 41st anniversary of Appomattox day. The banqueters were greatly disappointed because Mrs Longworth was not present at the din- ner, as arrangements had been madS by the club for concealed balcony in which she could listen to her husband S speech. Mrs. Longworth sent her re- grets, saying that she would visit friends while her husband was address, ing the banqueters.
 MT. Lopgwsvth said: T want to say with reference to politics and the pres ent situation in general today that it seems to be the fashion nowadays to assail all our public men, to belittle their character and to impugne their motives. It seems to me that the fash ion of assailing public men is amount ing today to almost hysteria. I am one of those who believe that instead of everything getting worse, things are getting better.
 And let me say that there is today in Washington man, the leader of his party, that has punished, that has used every atom, and will continue to use every atom of his great power to pun ish grating and dishonesty in public officials. whether they are at the bot tom of the ladder or in the seats of the migtty, and whether republicans are democrats.
