Chicago, April a. Attorney Wetten,
for John Alexander Dowie. today is
sued a statement to the effect that the
report of a compromise of Zion City
troubles would be reached on the basis
of the payment of 5 per cent of the
gross assets of Zion City to Dowie, is
untrue. Wetten declared no such prop
osition has been made TO Dowie; that
he would not have accepted, if made.
Wetten said negotiations for a settle
ment outside the courts are still in
progress, and he has strong hopes of
their ultimate success.
Today writ in the civil suit which
the deputy sheriff vainly attempted TO
serve upon Dowie, when he arrived in
the city was read to him in his rooms
at the Auditorium by Deputy Sheriff
Wilson. A large colored man, who
serves as personal guard for Dowie
told Wilson TO leave the room, and
when he moved toward Wilson with
the evident intention of putting him
out, Wilson drew revolver.

Copied i'm Scheme of New York
Financiers for This
Country.
REGULATEEXCHANGES
Seek to Relieve Money Stringencies
Such AS Have Been Recently
Experienced.

New York. April 14-It was learned
that a plan is under discussion among
certain bankers to establish a bank
with a capital of $5OOOO,OO0 for the
purpose of regulating money rates and
preventing periods of money stringen-
cy and the accompanying high rates
of interest. The movement was given
some impetus by the recent stringency
in the money market
Controls Foreign Exchange.
Some financial concerns which have
taken an interest in the movement as
sert that such institutions might eXer-
else considerable control over the for
eign exchange situation to the extent
of regulating imports and exports of
gold somewhat. as does the bank of
England.
A leading bank official however said
the only cure for such money evils as
the New York market has recently
witnessed lay in the establishment of
central bank which shall be given
power of issue in times of emergency.

the sternest war upon them There
should be relentless exposure of and
attack upon every evil man, whether
politician or business man, every evil
practice, whether in politics. in busi
ness. or in social life. hail as a
benefactor every writer or speaker,
every man who, on the platform, or in
book. magazine. or newspaper, with
merciless severity makes such attack,
provided always that he in his turn
remembers that the attack is of use
only if it is absolutely truthful. The
liar is no whit better than the thief.
and if his mendacity takes the form of
SANDER, he may be worse than most
thieves.
1T puts premium upon knavery
untruthfully to attack an honest man.
or even with hysterical eXaggeration
to assail bad man with untruth An
epidemic of indiscriminate assault
upon character does not good. but very
great harm The soul of every scoun-
drel is gladdened whenever an honest
man is assailed, or even when a scoun-
drel is untruthfully assailed.
May Be Misunderstood.
Now, it is easy to twist out of shape
what l have just said, easy to affect
to misunderstood it, and, if it is slur-
red over in repetition, not difficult re-
ally to misunderstood it. Some per-
sons are sincerely incapable of under
standing that TO denounce mud sling
ing does not mean the Endorsement of
whitewashing; and both the interested
individuals yUhn nnnd Whitauo oh
and those others who practice mud
singing. like to encourage such con-
fusion of ideas. One of the chief
counts against those who make indis-
criminate assault upon men in busi-
ness or men in public life, is that they
invite a reaction which is sure tell
powerfully in favor of the unscrupu-
lous scoUndrel who really ought to be
attacked, who ought to be exposed,
who ought, If possible, to be put in the
penitentiary. If Aristides is praised
overmuch as just, people get tired of
hearing it; and overcensure of the un-
just finally and from similar reasons
results in their favor.
Excess Invites Reaction.
"Any excess is almost sure to invite
a reaction; and. unfortunately, the re-
action, instead of taking the form of
punishment of those guilty of the ex-
cess. fis very apt to take the form either
of punishment of the unoffending or of
giving immunity, and even strength, to
offenders. The effort to make finan-
cial or political profit out of the de-
struction of character can only result
in public calamity. Gross and reckless
assaults on character, whether on the
stump or in newspaper, magazine, or
book, create a morbid and vicious pub
lie sentiment. and at the same time act
as profound deterrent to able men of
normal sensitiveness and tend to pre-
vent them from entering the public
service at any price. AS an instance in
point, | may mention that one serious
difficulty encountered in getting the
right type of men to dig the Panama
canal is the certainty that they will be
exposed, both without and, l am sorry
to say. sometimes within, congress. to
utterly reckless assaults on their char
acter and capacity.
AT the risk of repetition let me say
again that my plea is, not for immuni-
ty to but for the most unsparing ex-

Colon, Panama, April 2.-The mos

ant duty of collecting from the yards
and streets of Colon and Cristobal
such trash as old can, bottles. and the

that mosquitoes will breed in any re-
ceptacle that will hold water. Conse-
quently these cans, bottles, ETC., are

not more than 800 yards from Colon,
and there deposited, so that the mos
quitoes may coloniZe there and enter
the city in droves. | am told 800 yards
Is not an impossible journey for a
band of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.
The process of draining the swamp
upon which Colon is located is pro-
ceeding with reasonable speed. and the
laying of supply water pipes through
the streets of the city is well under
way. The Panama railroad has just
issued an order compelling the widen
ing of alleys to 40 feet, and all build
ings now in course of construction in
terfering with this plan has been order
ed discontinued. Why this was not
done ,wo years ago, when the Ameri-
can government first took hold of can
al affairs, is what is puZzling the local
residents.
The health department has forbid
den the erection of solid fences, giving
as a reason that solid fences will pre-
vent the free circulation of air. This
order has been generally approved, but
the Panama railroad (Which is the
United States government) is permit
ting the erection of comparative sky
scrapers. whose solid fronts extend to
10 times the height of the fences, and
render the interior of the blocks void
of the almost indispensable sea
breezes

be well to consider it's conditions gen
orally. AS matter of fact. the city is
not much worse than many other cities
of its size in the United States. But

man out of the position he has dis

even in the case of crime. if it is at

interests, many property owners, many
politicians, and it is not so easy to
enact reform and radically purifying
measures. With Colon it is different,
and this is the reason l have criticised
it severely. Colon is owned by the
United States government, and as such
should be made model city. l doubt
if there is any other community like
it in the world. The United States,
by merely declining 10 renew leases in
Colon, could absolutely abolish the city
within two or three years. And if 1t
has this power through the ownership
of land, it has the power to make
model city, where criticism cannot be
unfavorable.
If some old shylock of landlord in
Washington, New York, or elsewhere
We're to rent his property to miserably
poor tenants who wpuld maintain the
place in an unsanitary manner, we
would find fault with the sanitary de
partment, and would dismiss the
thought of the landlord by saying such
creatures were beneath our notice.
Here we have the same condition with
Uncle Sam as the landlord. There is
of the land owners and the building own
ers to squeeze" all they can out of the
people. That the United States is en-
tangled in such mess as this is un-
fortunate, and that it does not eXtri-
cate itself is even more. unfortunate.
If the canal route is to remain as it is,
then Colon is destined to become one of
the great commercial agencies, and
while the town is only starting it should
be started right; if the canal route is
to be changed. then Colon gradually
will become extinct, and all the money,
time and effort expended in endeavor-
ing to make the swamp sanitary have
been wasted.
Concerning the mosquito brigade"
it is one of the nonunderstandable &C.
centricities of the sanitary department.
In the first place, the operation of the
brigade is inefficient. The negroes are
supposed to examine each yard and
street carefully, picking up all the
cans. bottles and other articles that
would hold water, and to fill up all
holes in the ground with oil or chloride
of lime. A detachment of the brigade
made its visit to lawn opposite my
