New Bedford. Mass. July 27.--The
fourth day OF the strike of trolley men
opened this morning with little promise
OF an immediate change In the situation.
Indeed. the differences between the Union
Street Railway company and It's men
were accentuated rather than relieved by
the attempt at settlement made yester-
day
While the strikers committee and the
president OF tho company. Henry H.
Crapo, were believed 10 be not far apart
on the wage question. the demand OF the
union for recognition as such by the
company was the rock on which the plan
OF adjustment OF matters was wrecked.
The men asked for a fat wage scale OF
% cents an hour. while the company Is
willing 10 give 70 cents an hour 10 men
OF five years service

be made today to put on additional new
men TO run the cars I'm the places OF

United States district court decided TO-
day that John w. AL exander Dowie does
not own Zion city and It's indnstrie. lie
refused to appoint Alexander Granger as
receiver and ordered an election for a
general overseer
In the decision the court after review
ing Dowie's career and the founding or
Zion city calls attention to the fact that
inasmuch as Voliva's conveyances TO
Granger were m plain violation OF the
spirit and, intent OF Dowie's power OF
attorney 10 voliva, which the court holds.
both yoiva and Granger well knew the
court said: "As between Dowie, Voliva
and Granger. these instruments were mere
waste paper"
The court then traces Dowie's church
career, beginning in Australia, down TO
his work I'm Zion city and found that
Dowie had for many years been in re-
ceipt of "a large revenue which he devoted
80 church and charity purposes that the
amounts received by him aggregated In
some years s260. 900; that Dowie had not
sought 70 amass private fortune; but
that ne engaged In secular occupation IN
aid OF the propagation OF his religious
doctrine, or, as Dowie expressed IL, FOR
God and humanity"
The court them says: ''It is a well-rec-
ognized principle OF equity. that whore a
person accepts money or property TO be
used by him for the benefit of some other
person or other persons or for the ad-
vancement OF some lawful enterprise such
money or property constitutes trust

than Dowie's claim OF private ownership
and his admission OF trust obligation for
the spiritual welfare OF generations un-
born. Obviously the theory advanced I'm
his behalf is not sound"
The court quotes a cidicil TO Dowie's
will and then says: There is no es-
cape from the plain meaning Of these
words, the declaration is unqualified and
ls complete recognition OF any existing
trust obligation. No specious construc-
ton could make awnything else out OF
it and for the jury to enter decree OF

The court ordered an election 10 be held
on the Third Tuesday OF September Of
a general overseer. under the election
laws OF Illinois, the names Of persons
10 be voted for TO be certified TO the
United States district court within 10
days. II no more than one name shall
be certified. the court VIII recognize such
person as the legally chosen general over

IL more than one name is certified such
persons shall have the use OF the taber-
naCle at Zion City alternately up TO the
time OF election. During such time the
publication known as Leaves OF eHaling

court said. would be determined later.
