the ties rotten. Nearly all passengers
travelling by this roa provided them
selves with accident policies, although
as a matter of fact, there was not much
danger, as the trains were not given
to sprinting. and the regular accidents
used to occur without very serious re-
suits. Trainmen had by long practice

Saws Rate Bill Will Be Made
Reasonably SatisfaC-

Washington, April 3. - President
Roosevelt and Senator Elkins of West
Virginia, chairman of the interstate
commerce committee, had a confer
ence during the day regarding the
limited rate review amendment which
was agreed upon last Saturday at a
conference in the White House. Sen
ator Elkins assured the president that,
with the amendment agreed upon, the
Hepburn bill would be reasonably sat
isfactory to him. After his conference
with the president Senator Elkins
said:
LAS shipper l am more deeply in
terested in the rate legislation than
am as a railroad man. l hope to see
any amendment that may be added to
the measure afford the shippers and
localities precisely the same oppor-
tunity to appeal for a court review as
it may give the railroads. We are go
ing to enact rate legislation and, in my
judgment. it will be good legislation
It will be fairaand just, in any event"

STRIKE ORDER OBEYED
Suspension Of Mining in Anthracite Fields Practically
Complete Probable Resumption Of Many
Soft Coal Properties

Pending the outcome Of the confer
ence in New York city between the
coal operators and President John
Mitchell Of the Miners union the sus-
pension of mining in the anthracite
coal fields is practically complete
OF the 100000 men and boys in the
hard coal fields who are affected by
the scale committee suspension less
than 1000 are at work. Of this num-
Der about 500 are employed at the Ok
ford colliery, an Individual operation
near Scranton, and probably 500 addi-
tional men are rushing. work at the
several washeries in the Lackawanna
and Wyoming districts.
In the bituminous fields in many dis
tricts the men are idle chiefly owing
to the celebration of the anniversary
of the eight-hour day rather than be-
cause of the wage question dispute. 1t
is difficult to foretell the conditions in
the bituminous district in Western
Pennsylvania until it can be definitely
stated how many of the independent
operators will sign the 5.55 per cent
advance. There is some difference of
opinion among these operators, but
the action Of the Pittsburg Coal com
pany in the matter will probably fore.
cast the general result.

FIRED
DOWie Deposed as Head Of
His People Property
Transferred

Chicago, April 3.-The open revolt
against John Alexander Dowie which
took place Sunday has been followed
by the transfer of all the public prop
erty Of the Church of Zion to Alex
ander Granger, the man whose dismis-
sal has been directed by Dowie in a
telegram from Mexico
A warrant deed and a bill of sale
were filed during the day in the Lake
county circuit court at Waukegan,
ILL.,, by w. G.. Voliva, the present head
of Zion. who was appointed by Dowie
some months ago, by which all the
lands standing in the name of Dowie
and his wife are made over TO Gran
ger for the benefit of Zion City and
the followers of Dowie. Voliva holds
from DOwfe a power of attorney and
by virtue of it he has turned over to
Granger everything portable in Zion
City, even to the bed of Dowie. All
the effects of Shiloh House." the
Dowie residence, the horses and car
riages, the machinery in the mills and
everything in the name of Dowie out
side of the personal belongings of the
residents of the town has been taken
away from the control of the deposed
FIRST apostle"
Later in the day Granger made a re-
conveyance of all the property to Vo-
Iva, thus giving to him all the author
ity and power formerly held by Dowie.
Most of the officials of the church
were present at the meeting Sunday
when Dowie was deposed and many of
them denounced Dowie as having de-
ceived the people and wasted their
money in extravaganza. The meet
ing, however, refused to hold that he
had knowingly erred and John G..
Speicher, the former overseer and
once second in command, who was re.
Gently deposed peremptorily, declared
Dowie to be insane. Mrs. Dowie, in
her address, also upheld that declara-
ton.

TEXAS LAW KNOCKED OUT.
Shipper Cannot Recover for Loss Due
to Delayed Cars.


to Delayed Cars.
Washington, April Sin an opin-
ion by Justice Brown the supreme
court of the United States decided the
case of the Houston and Texas Central
Railroad company against J. A. Mayes
in favor of the company.
Mayes ordered seventeen cars in
which to ship 625 head OF cattle. The
cars arrived twenty-four hours after
the time set in the agreement. Mayes
sued under a Texas law for damages
done his cattle by the delay and also
under the state law to recover $25 per
car on his contract with the company.
The lower courts upheld the COM
plainant. The supreme court, how
ever, holds that the law takes no ac-
count of accidents, is too arbitrary,
encroaches on federal control of inter
state commerce and is therefore I'M
constitutional. The chief justice and
Justices Harlan and McKenna dis

less, the miners said they would re-
main ont until a satisfactory scale is

MINERS FAILED TO RESPOND
Anthracite Operators Were in Readi'
ness to Continue Work.

Anthracite Operators Were in Readi-
ness to Continue Work.
Philadelphia, April 3.-Reports re-
state that the order of the miners
scale committee directing that mining
be suspended until an agreement
could be reached with the operators is
being obeyed almost to the man. In
all three districts preparations were
made by the operators for a resump-
ton of work. Whistles were blown at
the regular hour and everything was
in readiness for the men to go to work,
but there was no response by the min
ers and the day took on holiday
aspect. Firemen, engineers and pump
men, who are not affected by the sus
pension order, reported as usual.
That great many miners believe
that a strike is imminent and that
there will be a bitter struggle be-
tween the workmen and their employ
ers was evidenced by the departure of
scores of miners from the Schuylkill
region. A majority of these men are
foreigners, who will go to their homes
in Europe and there await the out
come of the pending strife.
Hopeful OF an Agreement.
In the Lackawanna district there Is
q feeling among the more conserva-
tive miners that an agreement will be
reached at the New York conference,
but others are less hopeful and are
prepared for long siege.
The only colliery in the Luzerne-
Wyoming district which attempted to
work, as far as has been reported, was
the Hazelton shaft Of the Lehigh Val
ley company. Coal which had been
loosened last week was run through
the breaker for about an hour, after
which the men withdrew from the
shaft and returned to their homes.
At many of the collieries in this dis
trict the mules were taken from the
mines, thus indicating that no effort
would be Immediately made to resume
mining.
Quiet prevails throughout the three
districts and as long as the men re-
main away from the mines no disorder
is anticipated.
