ASPHALT is FAVORED -.
IN MINNEAPOLIS

Minneapolis, March I6.-Complete
plans for the paving work in this city
for the coming season were presented
at the meeting of the city council COM
mittee on paving. There have been
several informal conferences between
the members of the committee in the
last week, and all arrangements have
been agreed upon. The present plan is
to make final report to the council
tomorrow evening and close the entire
matter for this year. ...
OF most Importance is the, asphalt
streets in the downtown sections
If the Barber Asphalt Co. is willing to
rcsurface the asphalt streets for $I.37H
a square yard the council at the meeting
tomorrow evening will give the company
a contract for 10000 square yards
While Mr. Robbins, the general rep
resentatIve has strenuously objected to
coming down from the bid of $I.5o a
yard, it is believed that he will finally
consent. ...
In the event of refusal, however,
the paving committee has decided that
Nicollet avenue shall be paved with creo-
soed wood blocks. This will be laid
from Washington avenue to Tenth
street, taking about 10000 square. yards.
The remainder of the asphalt streets will
be carefully patched, for which there is
available guaranty fund of $4,000 and
a special appropriation of $1,000.
/ The remainder of the $25o,ooo availa-
able for paving will be apportioned as
equally as possible among the various
wards in proportion to the amount of
paving asked for. &. 5su >t#. 'sl@
Z Hawthorn avenue will get a share,
but may not get all it wants, which is
the six blocks from Twelfth street to
Aldrich avenue. Franklin avenue will
also get share, probably three blocks
from Eleventh avenue to- Fifteenth and
possibly as far as Bloomington. The
paving on Central avenue from Twenty
seventh avenue NE to the nacadanl
pavement beginning at TWenty-ninth
avenue is also on the favored list. 7S
Several of the downtown dirt districts
like Eighth and Ninth streets between
Nicollet and Third avenue will also be
provided for. The latter can be cared
for from the $Iooooo recently trans
|ferred from the sinking fund to the re-
volving fund, as there are no intersec-
tions to be paved and the entire cost
can be assessed against the. abutting
property. s35 is:.5

DOVlE HAS BENEFITED
BUT LITTLE BY TRIP

Z Chicago, March TO- That John Alex
ander Dowie has benefited little BY his
sojourn in the tropics was indicated yes
terday by Fred I. Siintf, auditoryof the
Union Traction Co, who returned from
"a visit, to Jamaica. Mr.. Smith was at
.Litchheld, when Dowie arrived but ..fhe
only glimpse, that was afforded of the
apostle was when he was carried on a
stretcher to his cottage. Mr.. Smiths
is the, first authentic statement of the
condition of Dowiea by a disinterested
person. %. ,s.@a &ssats #@ Il
There were all sorts ofarun1ors afloat
concerning Mr.. Dowie's condition." said
Mr.. Smith. Sometimes he was report
ed as being almost in dying condition
and at other times as improving in
health On his arrival Dowie was carr
ried to his cottage on stretcher and
for long time remained in seclusion.
The only time I heard of him being out
of doors was when he painfully travers-
ed the porch of his temporary home
on crutches The natives were greatly
impressed by the stories they heard of
DR.. Dowie's great wealth and power as
the head of large church and were
surprised to hear that Zion City was
deeply involved financially and threat
ened with bankruptcy"
General Overseer Voliva, it was learn
ed yesterday, will leave Zion City shortly
on tour of the east to raise funds to
tide Zion City over its $24i 900 financial
crisis. This announcement was made
at the same time that Gladstone Dowie
declared that his parents had not sep
.arated and branded the story, printed
Yesterday in an afternoon paper as false
and absurd" Mr.. Voliva's trip will con-
sumo three weeks. . '7",.,'.
In reference to the. alleged domestic
troubles. of the Dowies,' while it is as
serted that Mrs. Dowie is perfectly 10y
al to her husband, it is at the same time
admitted that the apostolic rule at Shiloh
house was far from gentle and that
domestic affairs were far from harmon
ious. 1t is said that the fact is born
out by many that mother and son fear
DoWie and dare not make public their
many bitter experiences. Other evidence
showing causes of separation between
Dowie and his wife have been gathered
by a number of leading residents of
Zion and in case of public rupture a
serious scandal would develop. a..

CONSIDER METHOD OF
BUILDING THE CANAL

Washington, March I6. With the
type of the isthmian canal and the meth
cd of construction yet undetermined
the senate committee has under consid-
Grafton a bill TO provide for the govern
ment Of the canal zone and other mat
terss The draft was prepared by Sen
ator Kttredge and is very similar TO the
one he offered a year ago and which:
failed to pass a 4.
The bill authorizes the president to
delegate to the fcalal commission the
power to make and enforce regulations
for the government of the zone buf res
serves to the president and either house
|of congress the right to. require full
and complete reports annually or at
any other period. The same methods
|of estimating expenditures and appro-
priations are applied to canal work as
are required of the various executive
departments.
1t is required that so far as practicable
the work of the commission shall be
concentrated in Panama. The federal
laws relating to employees outside the
boundaries of the United States are
applied to the zone, but the bill leaves
for consideration by the commission the
increase that is to be allowed to clerks,
employed exclusively within the zone
Separate accounts are required of
funds of the Panama Railway company
and the expenditures for the adninistra-
ton and for the construction of the
canal. All franchises or concessions

THE MEETING

ASSOCIATION AGAIN PUT
ON GOOD FOOTING.
Rev. Lansdell Elected as President,
Mrs. Knight as Vice President, Mr..
Burrase as Secretary and Prof.
R~idgaway as Treasurer-Good
Work by Visitors.

The Sunday school convention
which met yesterday afternoon and
evening at the Methodist church was a
great success. Rev. w. G. Merritt,
international worker, who is spending
three weeks in the state, visiting the
ten principal towns in the north and
south, arrived from the west yesterday
afternoon, and his inspiring leadership
was felt all through the conference.
By a piece of good fortune Rev. Joel
Harper, secretary of the Colorado
State Sunday School association, who
was passing through the city en- route
to the North park country, was also
present, and Mr.. Harper being a sweet
singer as well as a fluent speaker, his
presence was doubly welcome.
An Informal Conference.
The afternoon sessions took the form
of an informal conference, with Mr..
school workers present gained much
that was useful in the way of practical
and technical information. 1t was de-
cided to r~eorganize the moribund AL
bany County association, and a COM
mittee was appointed to draw up a
constitution and name officers for the
ensuing year.
The Evening Meeting.
The evening was opened by a service
of song and praise, led by Rev. Oscar
Woods. Mr.. Harper then delivered an
address, being introduced by DR.. Aven
Nelson, who presided for the evening.
DR.. Nelson prefaced his remarks by e
planning the work of the state associa-
ton and the plan of reorganizing the
county associations. Mr.. Harper, who
spoke for some twenty minutes on
Christ, Our Example as a Teacher
was a very helpful and suggestive
speaker, his talk being packed with
pregnant thoughts and vivid illustra
lions.
Officers Chosen.
Then followed a short business ses
sion, at which the constitution reported
adopted and its list of officers for the
county association for the ensuing yea,
unanimously approved. The officers
are as follows:
President-Rev. R. A. Lansdell.
Vice President-Mrs. Emma H

speaker and full of enthusiasm, which
he quickly impaired to his auditors,
and it is doubtful if a meeting could
possibly close with more enthusiasm
than did last nights. Mr.. Merritt's
homely but apt illustrations and point
ed thrusts all went home, and a great
stirring up of the local dry bones may
be looked for as a result Of this con-
vention. Mr.. Merritt went from here
to Cheyenne.
