CANAL ZONE SAFE.
Stevens Thinks Ii VIII Not be Affected
by Disorders

WASHINGTON, May 29.-"Although
l have little time TO look into politi-
cal conditions in Panama, l do not
think there is danger of any serious
revolution on the Isthmus of Panama. >,
Chief Engineer Stevens of the 18TH
nlan Canal Commission said today.
The Panama Railway was never af-
fected seriously by reyolutionists on
the isthmus. and even if there were to
be an insurrection do not think the
canal zone would be involved in the
disorder Any encounters would
doubtless be without the zone"
Stevens, since his arrival in Wash
ington, has been in conference with
the members Of theo commission and
appeared before the House committee
on appropriations. Stevens urged the
desirability Of the lock type and made
II plain that the commission shenld

NEW PLANS FOR
PALACE HOTEL
Sharon Estate People
Come to Look Over
the Field.

Fred Sharon, Senator Newlands, the
young son of the Earl of Hesketh and
H. l.. Wright. solicitor for Lady Hes
keith, arrived in this city yesterday to
look after the interests of the Sharon
estate. If the general plan that they
are now discussing is carried out the
old Palace Hotel will not be restored
along its former lines and the world
famed hostelry will undergo a change
of style and architecture that is likely
to be unwelcomed in the affections
thousands of people held for the COM
modious caravansary with its great
court and the gaiety that centered
there.
Financial interest is to take prece-
dence over sentiment. and the new
Palace Hotel is to be a narrower
structure, covering possibly only half
the block and towering high into the
air. maybe twice the height of the old
structure. which was but seven sto-
ries. The remainder of the land. il is
said. is to be devoted to a business
structure
.ious to rebuild along lines that will
produce the greatest amount of reve-
nue.. Many propositions confront
them. What to do with the Grand
Hotel site is subject engrossing their
intention. One suggestion that has
been made is that the new Palace be
placed on that corner.
What the definite plans will be will
not be known for some time, how
ever. The people of wealth who con-
troll the Sharon estate have come from
afar. to. investigate the situation, so
important do they regard the steps
that are now to be decided upon

AND KEY THROWN AWAY.

Chicago, April 7.-While Dowie is
travelling from Mexico TO Zion City,
measures are being taken by the Off
GERS of the Zion church to render him
absolutely powerless before he arrives.
1t is asserted that by the time he
reaches Zion, the last vestige of his
power will have disappeared, except
in so far as he may restore it by legal
means. Three hundred of the officers
of the church have signed a state
ment uphOlding General OVerseer

community will be asked tomorrow
to swear allegiance to the present Off
GERS. and at a mass meeting, which
is to be held in the afternoon, all the
people will be asked to put their sig
natures to the document, renouncing
their former leader. Together with
this action, Oyerseer Voliva has de-
clared that he will announce in detan
the alleged misappropriation by Dowie
of funds aggregating over $2,500,000.

sion in Mexico He owns a conces-
sion in Africa on which he expects
to borrow Sl000,000. 1t is threaten
ed he will be prosecuted If he returns
to America
Much of the foundation for the
startling stories told of Dowie's per-
sonal relations with members of his
flock is found in the alleged discovery
of what purports to be self-accusing
letters in the private vault at Zion
City, due to the work of a committee
appointed by Zionites for the purpose
of clearing the atmosphere after the
famous telegram had been dispatched
to Bowie in Mexico announcing to
him that he had been deposed
One of these purported letters was
addressed to Mrs Emily Weare before
she was read out of Zion church. An
extract from it is deemed TO be most
sensational, and reads as follows:
"Venomous tongues shall be torn
from their roots The people shall not
