EXILED OFFICER WOULD BE
HEAD OF COAST ARTILLERY

NEW YORK, Sept 20.-Officers here
of the Coast artillery corps have found
out, they say, that Col. William f.
Stewart the army officer who has been
kept at a desolate post in the south
west. is at present essentially the rank
ing colonel of their branch of the serv-
ice. and that unless the retiring board,
before which Col. Stewart is to be
sent, backs the recent opinion of medi-
cal officers who forbade Col. Stewart
to take the horsemanship test few
days ago. Col. Stewart will in fact be-
come the senior colonel of the coast
artillery on December next.
That is the date of the retirement
for age of Col. George G. Greenough.
the present ranking colonel or the
Coast artillery.
AS Col. Greenough has already OBJ
tanned a leave of absence, with view
to his approaching retirement under
the age limitation, Col. Stewart Is
therefore practically the senior colonel
of the coast forces, even though his
desert command Is far removed from
the sea.
Col. Greenough has been detailed to
serve on the Cornman court martial,
soon to convene at Fort Wayne, for the
purpose of hearing the charges against
Col Cornman, but he has also been
excused from that duty and his active
connection with the army may there
fore be said to have been ended.
But Col Stewart has been reported
upon by the army surgeons as suffer-
ing from cardiac hypertrop!. dilatfon
and mitral insufficiency."

ZION CITY GOES
AFTER CHICAGO
"R0TTEN AS HELL" DECLARES
DOWIE'S SUCCESSOR
ers with Bands and Banners to
Get After the Devil
and Others
IBy Associated Press.l

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-"A visitation
from the hosts of Zion City is to purify
Chicago" which was branded "rotten
as hell" by the Zion leader yesterday,
w. G. Voliva, successor to John Alex
ander Dowie, who came to town yes
terday and announced the militant host
would march on the city the latter
part of October.
Voliva's proposed invasion of Chi
cago will rival Dowie's famous vista
tion of New York few years ago.
He plans to bring host of 1000 fol-
lowers to the storming of Chicago's
stronghold of vice.
With banners streaming, bands play
ing sacred music and hymns swelling
from the long ranks, the alleged "sol-
diers of the Lord will march from
Zion City to Chicago.
By this missionary descent upon the
city Voliva hopes to add several thou
sand members to the Church of Zion.
Voliva's speech was made in the
Whitney opera house. His wrath fell
on the city at large. including the
courts and the ministers, and particu-
larly caustic words were directed at
Judge Lands of the United States dis
trict court and against John Hately,
former receiver of Zion City.
To more than 1000 persons he told of
the invasion he had planned against
sinful Chicago.
In his attack on the ministers Voliva
said they were stunning the truth, and
when he came he would expose them
every one of them, etc.

cised for not enforcing the antitrust
law against many of the trusts.

DEMOCRATS TO
MEET SEPT. q
CALL FOR CALIFORNIA CON-
VENTION ISSUED
Adjournment Sine Die Does Not Pre-
vent Extraordinary Session.
Delegates VIII Name
Candidate
rsv Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 21.-A call
has been. issued to the members of the
Democratic state convention by George
w. Cartwright, it's chairman, to meet
at the headquarters of the Democratic
state central committee sin this city
on Wednesday, September %. at 2
o'clock, for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for associate justice of the
supreme court to fill the unexpired
term of the late Justice I. B. McFar-
land, and to transact such other busi-
ness as may come before the conven-
ton.
The argument has been made that
as the Democratic state convention ad-
journed sine die, 1t could not be re-
convened, but numerous prominent at
torneys have informed the state CEN
trail committee that, in their opinion,
an adjournment without date does not
mean that the chairman of conven-
ton SO adjourned cannot issue q call
for another session.
Delegates to Decide
1t therefore has been decided to leave
the selection of a candidate for SUI
preme court justice to the delegates to
the convention, instead of to the mem
bers of the state committee, acting as
a committee on vacancies, as IL was
at first proposed.
The Republican state convention, as
already announced, will reconvene at
Oakland on Wednesday, to fill the va
cancy on the judicial ticket. and the
convention OF the Independence party
will meet for the same purpose In this
city Wednesday evening.
The belief entertained by some poll
ticians that the various parties have
the right to nominate a candidate Tor
railroad commissioner to succeed II. d,
Loveland, who was appointed by the
governor when Commissioner Wilson
resigned, is declared by lawyers to be
mistake.
Appointed judges, according to the
state law, hold until 'the next gen.
eral election" while other officials hold
until the next election by the people,
which the supreme court has held to
mean the next election at which the
people would vote for the Office filed
by appointment.
