DOWIE RUINED HIM, HE SAYS.
Zionite Shoots One of the Elders After
Losing His Savings.

CHICAGO, January 2-The mystery which
surrounded the shooting of Elder Peter
Ropp, one of John Alexander Dowie's clos
est followers and friends at Zion City, was
cleared up yesterday when the police learn
ed that his alleged assailant, Rudolph FOL
linger, fired the shot while in a frenzy
over losing his life savings, which were
invested in Zion enterprises. Zollinger, still
raving, was closely guarded in Shiloh
House today. He is said to be almost a
maniac as the result of his loss.
I'm a pauper. Dowie got me to sink
my savings in his business, and he has
ruined me-" shouted Zollinger, after he was
overpowered
The shooting of Ropp took place at his
home in Shiloh boulevard. Following the
custom of the Dowieites, Zollinger. who
was troubled in mind and health, went to
the elder for comfort Ropp prayed
with the visitor.
"All this doesn't get my money back"
exclaimed Zolinger, rising from his knees.
He drew a revolver and snapped it in
the elders face. Again he attempted to
shoot. Ropp stepped to one side Just as
the cartridge exploded. The bullet struck
him in the right hama, causing a painful
but not dangerous wound

HAD WAGES RAISED.
Two Thousand Western MARYLAND
Employees to Get Increases

BALTIMORE. January Am increase in
the wages of trainmen, enginemen and
yardmen of the Western Maryland railroad
went into effect yesterday and in all prob
ability about 1900 men will be affected.
The details of the plan have not yet been
thoroughly worked out, but the office force
OF General Manager Robertson is busily at
work getting up the schedule of increases.
The exact amounts of increase to the
classes affected have not yet been made
known, as they are not fully determined
upon. but the increase is general Some of
the men, 1T is understood, will not receive
more than D per cent additional while other
classes will get in the neighborhood of 20
per cent The average increase IL is
thought will be about 10 per cent but the
exact inquire is not yet worked out
Inc pennsylvania railroad officials decided
at special meeting November Z the day
after election, upon general increase of 10
per cent In the wages of all permanent en-
ployes OF the company who were at that
time earning less than $500 per month The
increase became effective December / last
so that for month many Baltimore en-
ployes of the road have been getting 10 per
cent more than usual in their pay envelopes
FOLLOWING in line with the increases in pay
OF railroad employees over the country many
corporations and manufacturing concerns
nave raised the pay of their employees to
take effect yesterday, and it is safe to saw
that many thousands of Baltmoreans are
at present drawing higher wage than ever
before.

MGR. IRELAND's CHANCES
Prospect That He Will Get Red Hat
Deemed Slight.

ROME, January 2.-The Giornale d'Italia
publishes an interview with a prominent
English prelate concerning the appointment
of an American cardinal. The prelate in
question reviews recent events particll-
larly the encyclical of Pope Leo against
Americanism, which he declares was writ
ten by Cardinal MaZZella.
This encyclical displeased Cardinal Glib
bons, who, thinking it was inspired by Car
dinal Rampolla. joined the Austrian and
German cardinals in defeating Rampolla at
the last conclave. Continuing, the prelate
says it was thought that Archbishop Ire
land would be made a cardinal when Pope
Leo called him from Paris, where he was
representing the United States at the I'M
yelling of the Lafayette statue. This, how
ever, is now unlikely, in spite of the fact
that President Roosevelt has urged ano.her
American prelate to approach the Vatican
privately to this end.
The situation has become aggravated by
the Storer incident, and if Archbishop Ire
land should be given the red hat the an
pointment must be ascribed to his per-
sonal merit.
La Vita yesterday complained of the con-
gestion of business on the telegraph wires
which it attributed to the enormous num-
Der of kilograms sent by the pope in an
swer to New Year and other greetings.
The Vatican has the privilege of using
the wires free of charge, the expense being
borne by the government

MGR. RYAN ANGRY.
Denounces the French officials as
Worse Than Pagans.

PHILADELPHIA, January 2.-Yester-
days New Year reception to Archbishop
Ryan was made notable by a scathing ar
ralgnment by the archbishop of the French
governments treatment of the Catholic
church. Denouncing the officials of the
present government as infidels, whom he
considered worse than pagans the arch
bishop expressed the hope that a religious
awakening in France would soon overthrow
the oppressors of the Christian religion.
As an example of the tyranny which, he
said, had been visited upon Catholic insti-
tutlons there, he cited an experience of a
prominent American who, while inspecting
hospital in Paris found a dying patient
begging a sister of charity to place a cru
cifix at the foot of his cot that he might
have more fortitude in enduring his suffer-
ings.
THE American, who by the way, was a
Protestant, asked the sister why she did
not grant the suffering mans request" con-
tlnued the archbishop. THE noble woman,
who had nurSed the dying man for DAYS
burst into tears and replied. Sir, there is
law in France prohibiting a crucifix in
the hospitals The American left the hos
pital with new idea of the tolerance of
this lnfidel government to those who find
their greatest solace in religion
They have already torn the image of
the crucified Son of God from the schools
and hospitals and other institutions of
= aHCe, uut tIlal IS merely a beginning.
Their purpose is to drag the love of God
from the hearts of men, and especially to
keep religious instruction away from the
children of France. But they cannot keep
the religion of God from Catholic hearts.
These tnfidels are worse than pagans.
Inc pagan believes in God and In a here
after, where the good are rewarded. but the
lnhdel does not. Pagans have some virtues
mixed with their vices, but the modern in
noel mas all the vices without any of the
redeeming virtues of a pagan"

CALLED A CLEVER MOVE.
How Suspension of Virginia Official
is Regarded.

RICHMOND, Va, January 2.-The action
of the general hospital board in suspending
DR.. l.. S. Foster, superintendent of the In
sane asylum at Williamsburg, and ordering
a reopening of the matter of the superin-
tendent's removal is regarded here as a
clever move on the boards part, since it
actually puts in charge of the institution
DIR. Brunk and his assistants pending con-
sideration of DR.. Fosters protest. 1t is be-
lieved-though the board members and At
torney General Anderson alike nom
communicative on this point-that the at
torney general informed the board when
his advice was sought that 1t had not
strictly complied with the law when it re-
moved DR.. Foster without giving him a
hearing.
The board, after deciding to suspend"
DR. Foster, Immediately engaged the serv-
ices of the law firm of Munford, Hunton,
Williams & Anderson, who will be pitted
against Joseph T. Lawless of Norfolk, the
aggressive counsel for DR.. Foster. The en-
ployment by the board of so eminent q
will not yield Dr. Fosters point until the
last extremity, and is determined to MAIN
tain its previous action in removing the
Superintendent
The board at this time is in the some
what ridiculous attitude of suspending an
officer it had already removed Yet 1t is
argued that il there is any serious doubt
of the legality of the boards original ac-
ton, yesterdays procedure was the most
polite under the circumstances If, as
the friends of the board contend DR.. Fos-
ters point is technical, having reference to
form rather than to substance, then the
board at it's Forthcoming meeting, January
IL, can reiterate it's determination in a new
form-one in compliance with the text of
the law. In the meantime it's order Of sus-
pension vacates the Office and puts DR..
brunk in charge from the day his term
was originally set to begin-January 1.
DR.. Brunk arrived at Williamsburg yester-
day morning and registered at the Colonial
Inn, but late this afternoon had not at
tempted to assume the duties Of superin-
tendent. DR.. Foster still was in charge,
with Drs Henderson and Southan perform
ing their usual duties as assistants.

DECLINES TO LEAVE OFFICE.
Lynchburg Health Official Holds on
to Job.

LYNCHBURG, Va, January 2.-Lynch-
burg has two presidents Of the board of
health. DR. P. H. Casey, president of the
last two years, refusing to surrender the
office to DR.. E. Barksdale, who was elected
to succeed him by the city council three
months ago.
DR.. Barksdale called a meeting of the
board yesterday morning. One member re-
sponded to his call, and the two organized
for the coming two years. The other men,
Der, acting under an opinion rendered by
City Attorney Manson. remained away from
the meeting. City Attorney Manson has
held that the election of DR.. Barksdale was
illegal because he was elected before he was
q legal resident of the city. The council re-
fused to rescnd the election, holding that it
could not do so, and that the courts would
have to settle the controversy. Under this
opinion DR.. Casey decided to hold on to the
office.
Legal steps are not considered probable
shortly, and nothing will hardly be done
until the city auditor attempts to pay one
of the physicians for the month of January.
1t is said that this is the first case of this
character in the state under the new con-
stitution.
