RoWLEY THE ONE LUCKY MAN
Former Omnhan sells His san Fran
cisco Property for Cash Just
Before the Crash.

Fortune was kind to E. S. Rowley, for
mer Omaha man. when she whispered to
him a week before the earthquake TO sell
his holdings in San Francisco and invest
his money in Los Angeles. BY needing her
whispers Mr.. Rowley got away from the
Golden Gate city with $45o,0o0 before it
was ruined by the terrible cataclysm OF
nature.
Thursday afternoon before the earthquake
Mr. Rowley left his home in Los Angeles
and went to the doomed city, having con-
cluded to sell his real estate there. Upon
his arrival iD San Francisco he at once
opened negotiations to dispose OF his hold
ings in the heart OF the city, at Market and
Mason. BY Saturday night he had sold
his entire property for S5O,oOo. Sunday
night he was at home again at Los Angeles.
Wednesday morning the buildings on the
lots he had sold we're I'm ruins. When asked
by Los Angeles reporter II he had any
premonition of disaster, he replied he had
not; that he had sold because he wanted
to buy Los Angeles property.
Mr.. Rowley is well known to the older
members Of the real estate fraternity of
Omaha. FIo was here several years in the
SOS and invested heavily in real estate
He sold out almost at the height of the
boom and made a large amount OF money
which he later invested in the coast cities.

wife of DepOsed Apostle Who Repudi-
Rted Him Visits His
Bedside.

CHICAGO. April 26.-Folowing reports
that John Alexander Dowie is a very
sick man, Overseer Jane Dowie. wife of
the deposed head of the Christian Catholic
church, visited her husband in his apart
ments at the Auditorium annex today.
This is the first time Dowie and his wife
have seen each other in several months.
When General OVeTseer Wilbur Glenn
Voliva assumed control at Zion City Mrs.
Dowie cast her lot with the new admins
tration and since then had repudiated her
husband publicly several times. Because
of this state of affairs those interested in
the controversy over Zion City place a
great deal Of significance in the visit of
Mrs. Dowie.
Mrs. Dowie was accompanied to the an
mex by her son, Gladstone Dowie but the
latter did not enter the room occupied by
his father. Mrs. DOwie remained in her
husbands apartments for half an hour,
after which she was again Joined by her
son and they returned 10 Zion City
That Mrs. Dowie's visit to her husband
was for the purpose OF a deathbed recon-
ciliation was denied tonight by those as
sociated with Dowie, who assert that she
called on Dowie to arrange for his pro-
posed return TO Zion City next Saturday
and his reception at Shiloh house. The
report that Dowie was in a dying condition
was denied by all those still faithful to
him in the party at the hotel.

PAY OF PUBLIC SERVANTS
Secretary BOnaparte Discusses This
Subject Before National Mu-
ntcipaI League.


ATLANTIC CITY, n. j.. April 26--charles
]. Bonaparte, secretary of the navy, ad-
dressed the National Municipal league here
tonight in part as follows:
Why do really first-class men. as rule,
shun public employment in its higher
great responsibility are generally and
grossly underpaid. A very little thought
should serve to show that the trusts and
the multimilliOnaires get what they pay
for and we get what we pay for likewise
the only difference Is that they are sum-
ciently sensible to know they must pay
for what they want In order to get 1t, and
we are sufficiently silly to think we can
get what we want without paying its fair
value
The American people cannot be justly
called "stingy." For manual or merely
routine public work we pay as literally as
any nation in the world; at all events l
know OF none more generous. Why are we
unable or unwilling to act on the same prin-
ciples OF common sense when we deal with
those Of our servants who are also our
rulers? ! believe this anomaly to be the
resultant of two popular pre1udices.

deadly social and political poison, namely,
the doctrine that all men OF right ought
to be and should therefore be made and
kept precisely equal
II we are honest to ourselves and not
afraid to think the truth, then let us own
frankly that the first step toward the
needed reform will be to recognize the la
borer as worthy of his hire, be that hire
much or little.
