tween Roads and Government.
Washington, March 13-J. Pierpont
Morgan, the New York financier,
came to Washington in his private car
last night and went Immediately to
the White House, where he was in con-
ference with President Roosevelt for
more than two hours. The object of
Mr.. Morgan's visit was to urge the
president to take some action to "allay
the public anxiety now threatening to
obstruct railway investments and con-
struction." Mr.. Morgan pointed out to
the president that the financial inter-
ests of the country are alarmed at the
attitude OF the administration toward
corporations and particularly the rail-
roads.
At Mr.. Morgan's earnest request
President Roosevelt has agreed to
have conference with four leading
railway presidents, Mrssrs. McCrea of
the Pennsylvania, Newman of the New
York Central, Mellen of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford and Hughitt
of the Chicago & North-W Western, to de-
termine if some agreement can be
reached as to the relations between
the railroads and the administration.
1t is probable that f. H. Hartman
may also participate in the conference,
which it is understood will take place
at the White House some time the
latter part of this week.

son on charge Of maintaining q

The complaint was made by three
women, dining room girls in Pattsr

cient evidence to convict him, and
who have furnished the names of q
number of persons as witnesses.
These are thought to include num-
her of legislators who have been
boarding at the house.
Patterson has just announced his
candidacy for mayor, and on the re-
quest of the states attorney Gov.
Burke has designated Assistant At
torney General Miller to assist in the
prosecution of the case.
In addition to this suit the women
began suit against Patterson to re-
cover $141 in wages which they say
are past due.
Patterson is commonly known as
the city political boss, and was tar
get for several bills in the legislature
to put him out of Office, he being
county commissioner and president of
the city council. It is claimed that
he is the advocate of open violation
of the prohibition law, and Is indirect
ly responsible for the many blind
pigs in the city. This probably will
prove to be the opening gun in a hot
city campaign!

Chicago, March 12-John Alexander
Dowie died at 7:40 Saturday morning
At Shiloh house, Zion City. There
were present with him when he died
only Judge d. N. Barnes and two per-
sonal attendants.
1t had been Dowie's custom all sum-
mer and winter to hold religious serv-
ices every Sunday afternoon in the
parlor of Shiloh house. About $50 of
his original followers remained faith
full and attended these services. Dowie
always wore his apostolic robes and
made a characteristic address. Five
weeks ago these meetings ceased, and
Dowie appeared no longer in public.
The Sunday meetings, however, were
still held by his adherents. Since that
time Dowie had gradually been failing.
Grows Deiirious.
Friday afternoon, however, there
was no indication of deaths approach.
He received few followers, and pray
ed for some people. His condition
seemed to be about the same as for
the last two or three weeks. One Of
the attendants remained with him I'M
til midnight and was relieved by the
other attendant.
Shortly before 1 o'clock Saturday
morning Dowie became delirious and
his talk was the same as at religious
meeting in the days of his prime. He
denounced the people with the old-time
vigor, ordered the guards to throw out
disturbers, and acted just as he had
on so many previous occasions. Grad
ually he became weaker and weaker,
and the attendant telephoned for
Judge Barnes, who reached Shiloh
house at z a. m. Forty minutes later
Dowie died.

few elders of the church who remain
ed faithful to Dowie, will conduct the
services and will deliver the funeral
sermon. Mrs. Dowie and Gladstone,
her son. arrived at Zion City early
Yesterday.

ItROMt lOsts EVERY POINT
cEAsELEss BATTLE eETW ZEN
PROSECUTOR AND ATToR.
NEY DELMAs.

New York, March 13.-On the first
day CT the states case in rebuttal at
the trial of Harry Thaw, District AT.
torney Jerome yesterday came to q
temporary standstill against the prac-
tically solid wall the rules of evidence
have built around the story Of Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw. Mr.. Jerome began to at.
tack this story as soon as court open
ed. There ensued a well nigh cease.
less battle between the prosecutor and
u. NJ. Delmas, the leading counsel for
the defense, at the end of which JUS
tice Fitzgerald upheld the rule laid
down at the beginning of the trial
that Mrs. Thaw's story was admissible
only as tending to show the effect It
might have had in unbalancing the de.
PENDANTS mind and it's truth of falsity
is not material.
Mr.. Jerome tried to avoid this rule
by declaring he was endeavoring mere
ly to show by inference-by circum-
stantial evidence as to facts and de.
tails in the story-that Mrs. Thaw
could not possibly have told the story
to her husband. Although he will
doubtless be blocked by the same
rule when the time comes, it Is said
the district attorney may attempt IN
the same way to prove an alibi for
Stanford White on the night he Is al
legged to have maltreated young Miss
Nesbit.
pelmas Wins Every Point.
Nine.tenths of yesterdays sessions
we're spent in argument, and in nearly
every instance when the smoke of con-
flict cleared away Mr.. Delmas had won
his point as to law, while Mr.. Jerome
in the very argument itself had got
before the jury perfect knowledge as
to what his witnesses would have tes-
titled to had they been permitted. The
district attorney called ten witnesses
during the day, but aside from draw
ing the states witnesses to the TRACE.
dy the opinion that Thaw seemed ra-
tional the night he shot and killed
White, little real hearway was made.
