Board Of Control Bill
Passes.

Des Moines,S Ia, March 8. The

amended in the mousse. yesterday af-
ternoon by passage of the Senator
Jones bill, which was introduced by
Hambleton, also of Mahaska county,
to prevent divorced persons marry
ing within one year after filing of de-
cree. Many of the lawyers in the
house tried to defeat the bill by pro
posing lot of amendments, some of
them germane and others evidently
intended to make the measure sub
ject of ridicule. Mr.. Hambleton, how
ever, stood by MIS- guns and by earn
est effort prevented the adoption OF
any amendment except by Weeks OF
Guthrie, which gave the courts the
power to suspend the one year pro-
hibition of re-marriage at their dis
erection when the decree is granted.
After debate which lasted for more
than an hour the bill was passed ny
vote of sc to Al, just one more than
the number required for majority.
The bill adds to the present divorce
law the following: In every case in
which a divorce is decreed, neither
party shall marry again within year
from the date of the fling of said
decree, unless permission to do SO is
granted by the court in such decree,
provided, however, that nothing here
in contained shall prevent the persons
divorced from remarrying each other
Any person marrying contrary to the
provisions of this act shall be deemed
guilty of misdemeanor and punished
accordingly"
Board OF Control Bill.
The senate today passed by vote
of 80 to II the bill to consolidate the
management of the state educational
institutions.
1t is known as the Whipple bill
and provides for the placing the man
agement of the State University State

SUBURBAN RESORT.
ATTORNEY IN TROUBLE
s. M. shortridge, Counsel for the San
Francisco Boss, Sentenced to
Jail for Contempt Of
Court.

San Francisco, March 9.-Abraham
Ruef, the political boss, who has been
a fugitive from court, was arrested
Friday night at suburban resort by
the courts elisor, w. ]. Buggy, who
was piloted to the place by Detective
Burns.
Mr.. Buggy, who is business man,
was appointed elisor by Judge Dunno
late in the afternoon,
Ruefs Counsel in Contempt.
Samuel M. Shortridge, attorney Of
record for Ruef, incurred severe re-
buke from Judge Dunno during an ex-
animation by Assistant District Attor-
ney Heney into the incompetency Of
Coroner Walsh, appointed by the court
as substitute for the disqualified Sher-
i'll O'Neil to locate and arrest the
indicted politician. Shortridge persist
ed in an effort to enter objection to a
question put by Heney, and would not
be silenced by the court, who finally
adjudged him guilty of contempt and
sentenced him to "a hours imprison-
ment in the county jail.
Shortridge, however, escaped imme-
diace incarceration by applying to the
district court of appeals for a writ of
habeas corpus, on the ground that no
contempt had been committed. The
merits of this controversy will be ar
gued before Justices Cooper, Hall and
Kerrigan Monday morning.
Outrage, Says Shortridee.
Mr.. Shortridge said: "The action of
Judge Dunno is an outrage, committed
not so much upon myself as upon the
legal profession and the citizens of
California. The law expressly pro-
vides that "a defendant has the right
to be heard by counsel and the OBJ
lection sought to be made by me, and
to which Judge Dunno took such indig-
nant exception, was offered by me in
the interests and behalf of Abraham
Ruef, my client"
Judge Dunno said: "Mr. Shortridge
brought his punishment upon himself
In the matter of examination of the
coroner, he had no more standing in
the court than the merest spectator
Mr.. Shortridge was in court as the
legal representative Of Ruef. not of
the coroner"

ALEXANDER DOWIE
OF ZION is DEAD
"ELlJAH THE PROPHET" PASSES
AWAY THIS MORNING.
ALMOST DESERTED AT THE END
TWO Servants Were the Only People
at Bedside--zion, However, For
gives and Honors the
Dead Leader.

Chicago, March 9.--John Alexander
Dowie, self-styled and familiarity
known as Elijah the Prophet, found
er of Zion City, died this moraing at
|7;4o at his apartments in Sniloh
House.
Though he has been in dissolution
many months, the end was not ex-
pected At his bedside at the final
moment were oaly his personal at
tendants, Freeman Haenal, white
servant, John Hirshfeld. negro, and
Judge Barnes. Dowie was as well
yesterday afternoon as he mas been
at any time in six weeks. At mid
night he became delirious and imag-
tled he was holding religious seryic-
es. He denounced an imaginary in
terrupter and ordered the guards to
put that man out" The delirium
lasted until daylight. AS his physique
grew weakened, the attendants call
ed Judge Barnes. The prophet was
unconscious when Judge Barnes ar,
rived and he never regained con,
sciousness.
Believed to Be Insane.
Judge Barnes never believed the
charges of fraud and immortality pre-
ferrei against Dowie but thought him
insane for the last few years
Barnes Is member Of Voliyas
council but remained a supporter OF
Dowie's personality
Dowie's wife and his son Gladstone
and his father. John Murray Dowle
are at their summer home near Mus
kegon, Mich, which was retained by
Mrs. Dowie during the receivership
proceedings. No one connected with
Zion ever held any enmity against
the leader, thinking him insane. His
wife and son will undoubtedly come
to the funeral. Ever since the court
proceedings were started Dowie has
held services in Shiloh house up to
within six weeks ago. His attendants
every day carried him to the audi
ence chamber. For six weeks past,
however. he has been unable to adj
dress his followers. Only $50 fol.
lowers remained after Vollva de-
lnounced the original leader. The
funeral probably will be held at Shi-
lob park in Zion City Dowie lived
up to his teaching and never was at
tended by physician. 1t is believed
he died of blood poison caused by
dropsy and other complications.
Zion is Forgivina.
All rancor is gone from Zion
When 1t was announced that "The
Apostle is Dead all industries were
closed and the workers poured out,
forming in great procession and
marching to Shiloh house. Voliva
was the first to enter the death cham,
Der. He went in reverential man
ner.
Mrs, Dowie is Frustrated.
Muskego, Mich, March 9.-When
the Dowie family received news Of
the prophets death this morning, the
wife was Frustrated She mas been
seriously i'll for three months and
may be unable to attend the funeral.
The son will go today.
