SUES ELIJAH THE SECOND
Hugh Craig Will Prosecute OLE
Action in Illinois Courts

The damage suit OF Hugh Craig
against John Alexander Dowie OF Zion,
Ill. former prophet of the Church Of
Zion. has been reopened through the
fling Of a suit yesterday by Craig to
restore records in the original case,
in which he received judgment of
s2727.36 against Dowie in 1905. AS
soon as the records can be restored
Attorney T. w. Hubbard of this city,
representing Craig, will leave for Chi
cago, where he will institute proceed
ings against Elijah II in the Illinois
courts. The new suit will be based on
the judgment given IN this city.
Craig was one of Dowies converts
when the prophet came to San Fran
cisco in 1880 with view to saving the
city, and later acted as a sort of ad-
vance agent and business manager for
Dowie, arranging for the use Of the
Grand Opera-house and expending con-
siderable sums of money in behalf of
the interests of Zion. Dowie failed TO
settle according to agreement, and af-
ter several years of legal action Craig
finally secured judgment in Judge Hos
mers-court, only TO find that he was
unable 10 collect

ACCUSES BUSINESS MEN
Of ASSISTING RAILWAYS
Overstreet Says They Are
Flooding Congress
With Messages
NOT IN GOOD FAITH
Trying to Influence House
Against Reduction in
Mail Pay

WASHINGTON. Feb. 16.-The House
today resolved itself into committee
of the whole for the consideration of
the postal appropriation bill.
Overstreet of Indiana. chairman of
the committee, explained that the bill
carried the largest appropriation ever
brought into the House and that the
increase had been made necessary by
the increased compensation for clerks,
carriers in city delivery Offices and
rural delivery carriers.
In making provision for increase-of
compensation to the several classes of
postal employees, Overstreet said, re-
classification of clerks and carriers was
necessary so as to put employees of both
services upon common footing, inter-
changeable in service and eligible
equally for advancement.
Overstreet said the committee had
reached the conclusion that a reduction
in the railway mail pay was absolutely
necessary.
THE railroads are trying to STAN
pede the House." he said. yet there is
not a scintilla Of evidence to show that
the reduction is excessive. The postal
service will not be impaired in the
slightest degree and not train Will be
cut off, notwithstanding the threats of
the railroad companies. There has not
bers of this House from business con-
Germ or a commercial body which has
not been prompted by the railroads, and
for one Il refuse to be stampeded by
their threats or DETECTED by their en-
treaties"
"A united press is more powerful
than Congress-" said Overstreet, in dis
cussing the report of the postal com
mission on second class matter, but. he
| !,
had observed an absence of fair inves-
tigatioh on the part of certain news
papers in criticizing the findings Of the
commission. He continued:
I'VE will never be able. in my judg-
ment, to reach any knowledge of salts
factory adjustment of the great prob
| lem of second-class mail matter until
we can have the cooperation of the
great press, daily and periodical. 1t is
in the interest of those enterprises that
legislation is nee ed. The antiquated
laws of today are scarcely enforceable.
A strict enforcement of existing laws
relative to the second-class matter Of
mail might easily result in great harm
and loss, to publishers, but as long as
the n, Epersy and periodicals of tho
country .ll.sist on wholesale criticism
without fair and reasonable co-opera-
ton on their part, I fear we will always
| have an unfortunate ENHANCEMENT and
a contest which will bring about no fair
results"
Representative Murdoch of Kansas
declared that the railroad mail routes
could be divided into two classes, the
large and the small. More than 80 per
cent of the mail, he said, was carried
over the large routes. Small routes
would not, he asserted. be affected by
change in the divisor In computing
the average daily weight from seven to
six days a week service.
General debate on the bill was not
concluded when the house adjourned.

BOARD To SPEND
100000 EACH MONTH

According to a statement given out
yesterday by the Relief Corporation,
the popular supposition that it had an
unwieldly surplus was erroneous. The
distribution of funds planned for the
next five months will leave the cor
poration at the end of July with only
1929, ,960S7. The total available funds
at the present time amount to $2,21S,-
26O.s7, and expenditures mapped out up
to August / will reach 1858, ,30es- or
more than $1,000 month.
The total amount of cash on hand is
s1,5S6, ,277.54, but when approved bills
in process of payment, appropriations
in process of liquidation and reserve
installments on cottages are deducted
from IT, there will remain $5e0,736. The
estimated amount of subscriptions
available, but not yet received, includ-
ing $1.651,011.15 now in the hands OF
the National Red Cross, is $1,657, ,524.S7.
Among the estimated expenditures,
including the cost of operation until
July 80, amounting to $500, 800, are the
following items: Pending claims $40,
O00; blankets, clothing and bedding,
SIS. 600; housing rehabilitation, $780,
coo; charitable institutions, $4,000
other rehabilitation, S500,000, and Home
for Aged and Infirm, 100000.
