ORDER IS ASKED FOR n
SALE OF ZION CITY

Chicago, May 3O.-On the ground
that the estate of the late John Alex
ander Dowie, naw in the hands of
Receiver John @. Hately, is greatly
deteriorating in value in its present
state of dis organization, petition
WAS filed Friday in the United States
court asking for decree granting
authority to the receiver to sell the
property without further delay.
An injunction will also be asked for
restraining Mrs. Jane Dowie and the
trustees, chief of whom is John A.
Lewis. named by Dowie in his will as
his successor, from exercising any
rights in the property in the receivers
hands other than the property at
Muskegon. Mich, claimed by Mrs.
Dowie. 1t is stated that this is a
plan for reorganization of the Zion
City property and may result in the
complete overthrow of Wilbur Glenn
yoliva, who assumed ecclesiastical
authority and temporary power over
the church of Zion following the death
Of the founder, Dowie.
Trustee Lewis said that no contest
proceedings will be made by the trus-
tees. He said if the property is sold
as proposed it will be bought in by
creditors, most OF whom are in the
church.

SHIPPERS MUST TELL
INTENDED USE OF CARS

Seattle. May 29.-Shippers will be
compelled, after June ~, to state
when asking for cars the destination
of the shipment they propose making.
Ii the car is wanted for shipments
within the state, the railroads will
supply equipment promptly aud i'm
mediately after loading will hurry the
consignment to its destination at the
rate of not less than fifty miles day
This is the rate OF progress the recip.
rocal demurrage bill passed by the
last legislature says cars must be
moved, and the Hill and Hartman
lines have agreed to enforce the ruling.
If cars are wanted, after June IL,
for interstate shipments, the shipper
will have to wait until the railroads
can spare the equipment. None of the
lines operating within the state believe
the legislative enactment can be APP
piled to interstate commerce and all
interstate shipments will have to wait
upon local business.
Insofar as the law applies to state
business, railroad officials have decid-
ed that it is legal. Some of the pen
alties may prove to De excessive, but
the legal departments Of the different
lines agree that the roads can be pun.
ished if they fail to provide cars
promptly and move them the miui-
mum mileage provided. under the act.
Lumber and shingle manufacturers
have claimed that they are not com
PEELED to give the destination of cars
when an application is made for equip
ment. They reserve the right tc change
the destination of cars en- route and Il
large part of the lumber and shiugle
business is handled in that manner.
The decision to recognize the recip-
rocal demurrage act within the state
will probably work out to great bene-
tlt to the wheat and flour shippers as
we'll as to the jobhers doing business
wholly within Washington, but the
rule will fall with serious effect upon
the lumber and single shippers. If
they are denied cars so long as as
traffic is offering for state business the
timber products traffic will be reduced
to ridiculously small amount
Prompt action by themill interests to
test the theory of their attorneys that
the law can be applied to interstate
business will follow.

Olympia, June l.--State Treasurer
Mills has issued a public statement rel
alive to the new law which goes into
effect on June l2 requiring all persons
selling liquor in the state of Washing
ton to pay license of $50 into the
state treasury. The state treasurer
urges all liquor dealers to make re-

The new license law applies to all
liquor sellers, including those on
board steamboats, plying in the waters
of this state, and also parior or buffet
cars, as we'll as saloons and other re-
sorts. 1t is expected to add at least

TARIFF TREATY UNLIKELY
But Indications Point to Reciprocity
With France.


Washington, May 29.-Although it
is stated that nothing has yet been
done toward adjusting the tariff rela-
tions between France and America,
aud while it also has been stated that
there appeared to be no occasion for
the dispatch of tariff commission to
Paris, as was done in the case Of
Germany, the satisfactory completion
of arrangements with that country
has caused preparations to be made to
consider the case of France
So far as known the recent decision
that tariff commission would serve
no useful purpose remains unchanged.
The reason assigned for that state
ment was that the negotiations with
France had long ago progressed far
beyond the commission stage and had,
indeed, resulted in the drafting of a
treaty. But this treaty can some to
nothing without affirmative congress
ional action, and the French govern
ment isb elieved to be unwilling to
await the uncertain course of legisla-
ton. Instead, it is believed. they are
willing to follow the example set by
Germany and endeavor to secure what.
ever advantages are open to them un-
der a reciprocity agreement drawn
under section three of the Dingley
act.
1t is now for the state department to
determine what shall be demanded as
quid pro quo for 20 pc. cent cut
in the champagne duties. 1t is true
that this concession was made to
German champagnes, but as the total
amount OF the importation was tri-
fling and the revenue Insignificant 1t

gated more than $4,000, 600. There
fore, to secure anything like an equiv
glency in the concessions that might
be asked, America, 1t is said, should
secure considerable addition to the
present limited list of articles OF Amer
lean origin upon which the French
government grants the minimum tariff
rates.
