ZIONIsTs DIVIDE EVENLY
Deacon Clauson Still Holds to Belief
That Dowie Is Elijah.

While discussions in Zion have caused
a division Of the branch Of the Dowie
church in Minneapolis, the local fac
lions are not engaging in the active
warfare which characterizes develop
ments at the headquarters Of the organ
ization, but are peacefully holding aloof
from each other. Some time ago Dea-
con w. B. Clauson Of the Minneapolis
branch was quoted as saying that only
two of the Minneapolis followers had
renowned Dowie. He corrected this
statement today, saying that regular
meetings were still being held by Elder
Graves, who is among the "antis - and
who says his views are held by about
half Of the congregation.
Deacon Clauson himself still believes
in Dowie, his faith having been firmly
grounded by works which demonstrated
to him the divine inspiration Of the
latter day Elijah.
If he is not a prophet said Dea-
con Clauson today, then the church he
has founded is no more to me than any
other church. am interested in the re-
ports of his illness, for, according to his
own teachings, sickness is the result Of
sin. If he is really sick, something
must be wrong, but have sifted some
of the charges against him and, finding
them without foundation, will withhold
Judgment till all the facts are known. :,

CLUBS OPPOSE
CONSOLIDATION
Berkeley's Organizations
Want No Merging
of Cities.

BERKELEY, June 22.-The position
taken by the Improvement clubs. of
Berkeley with regard to the proposal
to consolidate Oakland, Berkeley and
Alameda is summed up in the follow
ing statement, which representatives
from Berkeley win present when the
joint committee on consolidation rep
resenting the three cities of the bay
meet in Oakland on July II:
The people Of Berkeley are unaitera-
bly, opposed to consolidation of Berke-
ley with Oakland. But they will not
oppose the secession of Oakland from
Alameda County and the. formation. of
a separate city and county OF Oakland;
provided, that simultaneously there be
formed separate county, with Berke-
ley as the county seat. No plan will be
favored which leaves the two cities of
Berkeley and Alameda in the same
county, united by only a narrow strip
of land and separated from each other
by Oakland under its own government.
e. j. Martin formulated this state
ment as the representative Of Berkeley
on the joint committee, and the NORTH
Berkeley Improvement Club last night
approved the statement.

SEES MILLIONS
IN THE ORIENT.
DR.. @. Norman Says
This Port Should
Develop Trade.

BERKELEY, June 22.-The possibiI-
tiles of American commerce in the
Orient formed the subject of an ad-
dress by DR.. Guelph Norman, chairman
Of the Royal Academy of Science, be-
fore the Chamber Of Commerce last
night DR.. Norman is interested in a
commercial concern which has COL
onization plans involving the Orient and
this coast and is seeking a proper site
for his company's business in this vi
cinity.
DR.. Norman informed his hearers that
the Orient's trade is great prize well
worth striving TO obtain. He counseled
American merchants to observe fair
ness in all their business relations with
the Orient, to Offset the opinion that
many Orientals now have regarding
the white peril" from the west
The speaker declared that the intro
duction of through line of steamships
from this port to India would double
the Pacifie Coast trade in canned fruits
canned fish and other products in two
years. Statistics show that England
buys a vast quantity of California
produce and then ships much of 1t to
India to dispose of in the Orient at a
profit. Norman declared that Califor-
mans should get this proft~for Thorn
selves.
The desirability of improving the
wharfage and dock facilities of the
Berkeley and Oakland side of the bay
was pointed out by DR.. Norman. He
stated his belief that If this was done
and other harbor improvements made
the Oriental trade would in four years
be worth not less than $500, 100000 to
the port.

ME EHAUS CASE
FINALLY CLOSED

OAKLAND, June 22.-what practical
iy amounts to victory for the Me
haus Brothers over the Contra Costa
Water Company to the amount of
s12S.645.42 was made known today
when a stipulation was filed in open
court by attorneys for the contestants
agreeing that this sum represented the
actual cash value of their mill in West
Berkeley, which was burned down on
account of a lack of water in the pipes
Judge Ellsworth has already held
that the water company was liable for
the loss entailed by the fire and the
matter had been postponed in order
that an appratsement might be made
Of the mill and it's contents This was
figured at S164,00o, but by agreement
this sum has been reduced to $12S.-
645.42, and is the amount the company
will have to pay unless given an op
portunity to fight the case over again
by the Supreme Court.
The case is remarkable one on
account of the issues involved and was
contested with great ability by At
torney Goodfellow for the plaintiffs and
Attorneys NJ. c. Chapman and Samuel
Knight for the defense. Later in the
case Attorneys Allen and Walsh were
associated with Attorney Goodfellow.
The holding OF a water company re-
sponsible for the lack Of supply In the
pipes would not under ordinary cir
cumstances be construed as legal, but
in the present case the plaintiffs were
able to go further and showed that
they paid for special fire protection
and had number of extra hydrants
about the mill. And on the night in
question no water was to be had and
the mill was totally destroyed by rea-
son of this fact.
A pathetic side of the case was that
Otto Niehaus, the senior member of the
firm. was beg by the fire and
went to work as cabinet maker.
After years of struggle and hardship,
when victory was almost within his
grasp, he died. His funeral took place
shortly before the earthquake. The
great fire in San Francisco cost the
plaintiffs more delay, for 1t consumed
an inventory. of the contents of the
mill at the time it was burned. The
loose sheets from which the inventory
had been made UP were in the records
of the court here and were used instead
of the original inventory.

THINK VALLEJO
WET ENOUGH
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL,

VALLEJO, June 22.-Mayor Madigan
and the majority of the Board OF City
Trustees have decided that Vallejo has
enough saloons. Three new licenses
were asked for last night and all were
refused. One was for the new Irving
ton Hotel, which is being modernized
at an expense of $4,000. and another
was for the new Vallejo Turkish baths.
which have been fitted up at q cost Of
$4,000. The board has declared against
any increase in the number of licenses.
and Is planning a new ordinance to
cover the liquor question The tenn
perance people. who have an organiza-
ton known as the Municipal League.
are preparing to submit petition TO
the City Trustees asking that the liquor
licenses be raised from $50 to $500 a
year.
Vallejo has heretofore been very
lenient in it's dealing with the saloon
question, but a change Is now prom
ised The members of the Municipal
League have threatened TO secure the
influence of the Navy Department to
force a better condition OF affairs II
the Trustees deny their petition tor a
raise in licenses. Such course was
pursued at the Bremerton (Wash-l
navy yard a few years ago, and resulted
in the number of saloons being reduced
to six and the raising Of the license 10
$1,000 a year.

BERKELEY, June 22.-Discussion of

Appointment as Commissioner
Of Education Is Ap-
plauded.
University Regrets Losing Serv-
ices Of the Head Of
Pedagogy.
No Opposition Is Expected to
Confirmation by the
Senate.

BERKELEY, June 22.-No opposition
is expected IN the United States Senate
10 the Presidents nomination of Pro
fessor Elmer f Brown TO be United
States Commissioner of Education, and
confirmation OF the appointment is
looked for at any moment by friends
Of Professor Brown at the University
Of California.
The news that the Berkeley educator
had been singled out for prefermeut
at the hands Of President Roosevelt
was & pleasant surprise TO college men
here but coupled with the pleasure felt
in the good fortune of Professor Brown
is a regret for the effect which his
leaving may be expected TO have upon
the fortunes OF the university depart
rnent he controls.
Professor Brown has been a notable
figure in the faculty. his ability being
conceded by all His high standing
made IL almost Inevitable that he
would receive some time an offer of
higher station. Professor Brown is
recognized as an expert in all phases
OF pedagogy. He couples enthusiasm
with abundance of book lore. He is the
author Of a number Of high class text
books on teaching.
At this time Professor Brown is in
New York State. where his wife is
taking the waters at one of the springs
in the northern part Of the State. No
word from him about his appointment
as United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation has been received. but it is sup
posed that he viii accept the place.
When Professor Brown goes the de-
partment Of education at the University
Of California viii have lost in one year
three Of its best men, Professor Moore
having been called to the superintend-
ency Of the schools of Los Angeles,
and Professor Heaton TO a place in the
