NEW YORK, April 1S.-The New York
admirers of Maxim Gorky have been
divided into two camps by an embar-
RAISING discovery which was made on
Gorkys arrival, and was then whispered
around among the circles of socialists,
revolutionists and literary folk who
fiocked to his camp. Some of the more
conservative socialists, among whom are
included such as Robert Hunter and j.
G. Phelps Stokes, were not little dis

Gorky," who accompanied him, was not
Mime. Gorky at all, but Russian actress,
Anna Andreiva, with whom Gorky has
been living since his separation from his
wife four years ago.
The extreme socialists regarded this
calmly. They declared it was a common
occurrence in Russia for husband and
wife who could not get along together to
go their separate ways and take up with
other partners If they chose.

OAKLAND. Aprils I3.-Mrs. Elizabeth
Nix, the natural daughter Of the late
capitalist Charles r. Lloyd, is not en-
titled to share the estate with the legiti-
mate sons and daughters of the deceased.
Notwithstanding that the moral obliga-

ceded by the court, she must remain sat
isfed with q bequest of $1,000, while the
estate Of s36o, 600 is TO be distributed to
the other children.
Mrs Xix brought a suit for a childs s
share Of the estate, or one-fifth of it, and
based her claim upon the promises Of her
father, who, she says, made a positive
contract with her that if she would treat
him as a father and at the same time
conceal her relationship to him from the
world, he would leave her an equal share
with his other children. Judge Ellsworth
before whom the case was tried, in sum-
ming up the testimony to day. admitted
the moral responsibility Of Lloyd to the
claimant. but held that the contract,
which she made the basis OF her suit,
had not been proved.
The testimony went to show that Lloyd
was engaged to marry a Miss Mary Scan
Of Bristol, England, in 1862 and the banns
Of marriage were published when the

OVER zion CITY
Representatives of Warning
Factions Hold Conference

WEARY OF THE STRIFE
Dowie Promises to Retire
if Temporarily Reinstated
and Given Part of Funds

CHICAGO, April 13.-Peace hovers
over the warring factions that are
endeavoring to secure controI OF Zion
City. This statement was authorized
tonight by the legal advisers OF both
Davis and General Overseer -Voiiva-
After an all-day conference Attorney
Emil c. Wetten, representing Dowie,
said:
We are nearer a peaceful solution Of this
question tonight than hsye been at any
stage Of the proceedings. we have changed
our minds relative to the ming OF piii LII ~
equity declaring the transferring OF the own
crship of the property of Zion City by voliva
to Deacon Alexander Granger to be void, and
matter of formality. We filed paper in the
Circuit Court of Lake County of this State
to General Overseer Voiva by John Alexander
Dowie was absolutely void. inasmuch as Vollva
mad not acted IN accoroanee with the lisItuc, luz,
of the powers delegated to him by Dowie and
had designed to transcend his authority and
misapply the property OF Dowie and that
thereupon Dowie forwarded Woiva a telegram
revoking the power OF attorney.
According to the contestants the de-
cision of the court upon the validity
of telegraphic revocation of the power
of attorney will decide the question as
to in whom rests the control of Zion
City on this question Attorney Wet
ten said: The telegraphic power of
attorney delegated to Voliva by Dowie
is absolutely legal and will stand in
court OF law
At the termination of today's confer
ence which was participated in by
Judge " v. Barnes, legal adviser of
Zion City; Jacob Newman, counsel for
Voliva and his forces. and Attorney
Wetten, representing Dowie Newman
said:
Dowie and his advisers admitted today that
we have in possession documentary evi-
dence to the effect that Dowie and his advisers
admit that 80 per cent OF the property belongs
to the Ckristian Catholic church and he has
further more acquiesced in the proposition tsat
II he is given per cent of, this property,
when he had been installed temporarily in con-
troll both ecclesiastical and financial, he will
retire In other words, Dowie- desires to be
vindicated, reinstated. with the full powers
attending the first aposteship of the Chris
tian Catholic church, whereupon he will issue
edict declaring that % pei cent of the
property OF Zion City belongs TO the church
and that cent belongs to him (Dowie).
According to conservative estimates given out
by the two factions this would give to Dowie
$1,o0o,00o and to the church $4,000, 900.

HABE.AS CORPUS
HAS POWER
Ruling in the Meyer Case by Chief Justice
of the State of Colorado.

.
DENVER. April 13.-Chief Justice Cab
bert of the State Supreme Court yester-
day filed supplemental opinion in the
Meyer case. 1t is generally conceded that
this new opinion will take precedence
over the former majority opinion as the
latest expression of the court.
The Chief Justice declares that the
Governor of the State-has the power to
suspend habeas cor5us at his discretion
and, that the courts cannot review the
action
The body of the new opinion is taken
up With excerpts from an opinion Of
Justice Johnson in a case in the Philip
pine Islands. in which the power of the
Governor General to suspend the privi-
leges Of the writ of habeas corpus during
a state of insurrection in the province of
Batangas was upheld. The Chief Justice
finds the case analogous to the situation
presented in Colorado during the labor
troubles, and draws conclusions in which
the incarceration of Charles H. Meyer by
the military is upheld.

Oakland. A house was furnished and
he lived with them. He had promised
them that if they would come here
he would set them up in the millinery
business. For. twenty years the mother
and daughter were kept dependent by
him for their living. while he put off
from time TO time their request that he
give them an opportunity to branch out
for themselves.
All his former promises, however, were
embraced in an agreement, entered into
at the time Lloyd was thinking of marry
ing Miss Mary Crossley. whom he after
ward made his wife. He then told both
the women that if they would help him
in his desire in this direction and treat
him as a husband and father the
daughter should share in his estate when
he died.
His promises were made the subject of
much irony by Attorneys NJ c. Chap
man and Frank II. Powers, who stated
that after twenty years of promising he
finally gave them an II o u payable
after death: that even this was not in
writing and that when he did die he left

Lloyd was shot a few years ago by his
nephew. William Boxall, at San Bernar-
dino for alleged intimacy with his nieces.
LLOYD then wrote to the mother and
daughter and reminded them of their
promises TO him TO keep their relation
ship TO him a secret and it was argued
on behalf of Mrs. Nix that in accord
ance with their compact the mother and
daughter denied in writing to certain
persons that they were in any way con-
nected with Lloyd.
LLOYD did not die Immediately from the
effects of the wound and went for a trip
to Japan to recuperate, but died on the
VOYAGE. 1t was found that in the viii

the will was offered for probate it was
the occasion of a sensational contest in

cision of the court, however, went against
him and now a second child has been
prevented from taking part of the
estate.
ATTORNEY w. S. Goedfellow has repre-
sented the trustees of the Lloyd estate
and defended the provisions of the will
throughout the storm of litigation over
it. The attorneys for Mrs. Nix have not
