Judge Landis Names Receiver for
Dowie's Town.


Neither John Alexander Dowie,
founder, nor Wilbur Glenn Voliva,
present general overseer, is given the
property estimated to be worth from
$4,000, 900 TO $4,000, 900 in the deci-
sion handed down Friday by Judge
X NJ Eandis, OF the United States
circuit court at Chicago, In the Zion
City case Instead. Judge Lands de-
clared Zion City is a trust estate, nam
ed John G. Hately. member of the
Chicago board OF trade, a receiver OF
the property, and ordered the holding
OF an election Sept. Is. when the peo-
pie of the Christian Catholic Apostolic
church in Zion City shall choose their
overseer. Judge Landis will decide
later what compensation Dowie will
be allowed for his past services.
The nub of the courts decision is In
the ruling that contribution of prop
erty and money given Dowie was In
trust. Judge Landis declared the con-
veyance OF the Zion City property by
Voliya under power of attorney TO
John Alexander Granger TO be void.
Judge Landis quoted from writings
OF Dowie to show that the latter had
always regarded the property of his
church as a trust
The adjudication in the bankruptcy
proceedings against Dowle was also
set aside, so that pending litigation
against Dowie may automatically be
restrained until the entire litigation is
ended.
Receiver Hately's bond of $4,000
was approved late in the afternoon by
the court. and he went Immediately to
Zion City and assumed charge of the
property.
The court refused to appoint Alex
ander Granger receiver for the reason
that Granger has made a vow recog-
nizing Dowie as "the messenger of the
covenant, the prophet foretold by
Moses and Elijah, the rcstorer," to
which vow "all family ties and obliga-
tions and all relations to human gov
ernments shall be held subordinate. +"
The court said that he was not
obliged to repose confidence in a man
so constituted that, living in this re-
public, he would serenely vow his
readiness at all times to abandon his
family and betray his country.
The court ordered an election on
the third Tuesday of September of q
general overseer, all members of the
church residing in Zion City. male and
female. to have one vote. He an
nounced that suitable provision would
be made for Dowie on account of his
services as trustee.

EIGHT MEN DROWNED
TWO YACHTS cAPsIzE OFF NEW
JERSEY COAST.
That Death List is Not Greater is
Due TO Ine Heroic Work Of Capt.
Henry S. Ludlow and His Life saw
ing Crew of Five.

Two yachts coming in from the fish,
ing banks capsized on Hereford Inlet
bar off Anglesea, n. j.. Sunday, and
SO far as can be ascertained eight per-
sons lost their lives. There were thir-
two persons on one yacht, of whom
seven were lost, and twelve on the 9TH
err all of whom but one were saved.
That not more fell victims to the
rough sea was due to the heroism of
Capt. Henry $. Ludlow, of the Here
ford Inlet life saving station, and a
crew of five men 1t was at first
thought that from fourteen to twen-
ty-eight persons had been lost, but
after an investigation the coroner
stated he believed that only eight were
lost.
The two boats that got into trouble
were the sloop yacht Nora. which had
on board Capt. Herbert Shivers, his
mate and thirty passengers, and the
sloop Alvin b.. with party of twelve.
There is sand obstruction about a
mile from shore Just as the Nora
was about to go over II heavy squall
she was hit by huge wave and the
Nora turned completely over throw
ing the thirty-two occupants into the
sea.
As the yacht heeleu over the mast
snapped off short. There was an
agonizing cry as the yacht turned tur-
tie. which WAS quickly silenced when
nearly all OF the victims disappeared
beneath the water. AS many as could
reached the keel In the unequal fight
against the elements the struggling
men disappeared one ,-eT.e until only
eighteen were left c ag to the boat.

ton. let go their holds and began
floating away. Capt. Ludlow threw
his boat around and the four half dead
men were drawn from the water. Then,
at the risk OF their own lives, the res
cuers went after the other men and
pulled them into their boat. The res
cue was most perilous. as the rough
sea was constantly pounding the life
boat against the keel Of the yacht.

RADICALS HOLD BACK.
Undecided as to General Strike In
Russia.

St Petersburg advices state: The
decision on the question of general
strike is still hanging fire. No wore
has been received from the revolution
airy leaders, who again were in secret
session Thursday night In addition
TO other reasons, the condition IN the
famine district is advanced as new
argument against a strike, as the
peasantry would resent the tying up
of the railroads. upon which they are
dependent for grain to keep them
from starvation. The ministry OF rail-
roads received word Thursday OF sew
eral attempts to destroy railroad
bridges, and 1t is believed that tho
radicals are resorting to this means
to force the issue.
The police are becoming more ac-
tive in breaking up the meetings In
the capitals. Thursday they invaded
a conference of st. Petersburg alder
men which was held in a private house
and placed all of those in attendance
under arrest for five hours while the
house was searched and papers exam
ined.
News has been received here that
racial troubles have broken out at
Kranoyarsk between Russians and ma
tives of Siberia. One person was kill
ed and six were wounded in the first
encounter.
"Strong handed reform" is laid
down by M. Stolypin as the keynote of
his administration, in an interview
Thursday in which the new premier
| expressed his confidence that this pol
icy. with the aid of the inmate patriot
ism Of the masses and the army,
which "in spite Of all reports is still
loyal and reliable" will tide the coun-
try over until the convocation of the
next parliament. He emphasized, as
did Controller of the Empire Schwan-
eback on Sunday, the belief that the
outlawed parliament was never repre-
| sentative nor capable of constructive
| work. He spoke with scorn of the
| leaders of the constitutional demo-
Gratis, not attempting to conceal his
impression that the quasi-respectabil-
| ity of the party was but a cover for
insincerity and trucking with the
| worst element of the revolution. They
| did not honestly believe in either q
general appropriation of land nor in
complete amnesty. Their advocacy OF
these features was merely a campaigp
cry.

hours. About $50 o'clock one OF
the men awoke and noticed one of the

ions and began search. Failing to

WEALTHY FARMER MISSING.
Is Believed to Have Wandered Away
While Deranged. 4. E

The mysterious disappearance Of
Christian Nelson, a prominent and
wealthy Lincoln County farmer, and
the failure to secure the slightest trace
OF him has led to the belief that he
wandered away while temporarily de-
ranged and may have met his death
by drowning or otherwise.
The missing man was lost seen
at Hudson, where he took a south
bound train. There was no reason
for his strange departure, as his finan-
cial affairs were in excellent condition
and his family relations were pleas
ant. Mrs. Nelson states that he had
been acting rather strangely for sew
eral days before his disappearance,
fearing that someone wished to do
him bodily injury.
