THE MORNING OREGONIAX, SAJTlIRpAT, ,ATTL 14,- 19Q. 4- SETTLE Pi CASH Factions in Zion Approach Peaceful Solution. MAY GIVE DO W!E $1,000,000 lie Admits Church Owns 95 Per Cent of Property, and Wants to Be Vindicated Before He Itetlrcs Permanently. CHICAGO, April 13. Peace hovers over the warrins factions that are endeavor ing 'to secure control of Zion City. This statement was authorized tonight by the legal advisers of both Dowie and General Overseer Voiiva. After an all-day con ference. Bmll C. "Wctten. Dowle's attor ney, said: We are' nearer a -peaceful solution .of thin question-tonight-than we -have been -at any xtage of the proceedings. We have chanced our minds relative to the filing of a bill In equity declaring the transferring: of th ownership of the property of Zton City by Vollva to Deacon Alexander Grainger to be void and will await further developments. Today, as a matter of formality, we filed a paper in the Circuit Court of Lake County of this rtate, declaring that the power of attorney aranted to General overseer voiiva by John Alexander Dowie was 'absolutely void, inasmuch an Vollva had not actd In accordance with the instructions Riven him In reference to the execution of the powers delegated to him by Dovy-lc and had designed to transcend his authority and misapply the property of Dowie. and that thereupon Dowie forwarded Vollva a telegram revok ing the power of attorney. Says Revocation Is Valid. According to the contestants, the deci sion of tlio court iipon the validity of telegraphic revocation of the power of attorney will decide the question in whom rests the control of Zion City. On this question Mr. Wetten said: "The telegraphic power of attorney dele gated to Vollva by Dowio Is absolutely legal and will stand In any court of law." At the termination of today's confer ence, which was participated In by Judge V. V. Barnes, legal adviser of Zion City: Jacob Newman, counsel for Vollva and his forces, and Mr. Wetter, representing Dowie. Mr. Newman said: Dowie Will Get $1,000,000. Dowie and his advisers admitted today that we have in our possession documentary eidence .to the effect that Dowie and his advisers admit that 83 per cent of the prop erty belongs to the Christian Catholic Church, and he has furthermore acquiesced in the proposition that, if he is given S per cent of this property when he has been in stalled In temporary control, both ecclesias tical and financial, lie will retire In other words. Dowie desires to be vindicated, rein stalled, with the full powers attending the first apostleshlp of the Christian Catholic Church, whereupon he will Issue an edict de rlarlng that 95 per cent of the property of Zloi City belongs to the church and that per cent belongs to him (Dowie). Accord ing to conservative estimates given out by the two factions, this would give to Dowie Jl.OOO.OOO and to the church S1H.000.O00. The attorneys for Voiiva contend that the bill setting aside the power of attor ney will be denied for the reason that the property assigned by Voiiva to Grainger was not the property of Dowie, but was held by him as trustee. Jt Is also expected that appllcatlpn will be made for the appointment of a receiver, pending the settlement of the dispute. ALMOST COME TO BLOWS (Continued From Page 1.)

When the Persian question Is settled. all matters relating to the Indian fron tier which constitute a source of possible misunderstanding, namely, the Afghan Pamirs and Thibet, will be solved.

The movement was given some Impetus by the recent stringency la the money market. The name of the National City Bank was mentioned In connection with the plan, and the suggesUoa was made that the stock of that bank be Increased by S3a.OM.W9 or 3,090,60) in order to give It control ef ike financial situation in this city sufficient to prevent the recurrence of periods of extreme high rates for money. Another suggestion waa that a trust company be rranJxed under the direction of the National City Band., Of ficials of the bank declared, however, that they were net taking mere than a passing interest in the various plans.

Germany, Austria- Hungary and other countries In Europe. with branches In leading cities, and with the power to rediscount for national banks and state banking institutions, but not for individuals, would be a better solution of the present currency problem tba na pian permitting all banks to Isale notes against their resources. Other questions are asked. TWO TRAGIC ACCIDENTS Woman Accidentally Shot Loaded Stage Goes Over Cliff. PHOENIX. Ariz.. April 13. Telephonic information from Roosevelt.

FRIENDLY TO AMERICANS ?few Light on Situation From -Mis-sionary Fnnd Raised for Chris tian Hospital at Nanchang. . Exclusion Is Difficulty. BAN FRANCISCO. April IX Bishop X W. Bashford. of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who has been four years at Shanghai, arrived from the Orient today. Bishop Bashford for lo years was preel dent tot the Ohio Weal e van University. He Is on his way to Chicago to attend the semi-annual meeting of the board of bishops. Concerning conditions in China, be said: "Reports of disturbances In China have been grossly exaggerated in the United States. There have been few riots In the Empire since the Inauguration of the American boycott a -year ago. In the Shanghai riot not a foreigner was killed although a, score or more of natives lost their lives at the hands of foreigners and 4o or 54 more were wounded. At Lleng chln five Americans were killed. At NIanchang six French subjects and three English subjects were killed . and & day or two following the riot more than score of Chinese lost their Uvea in a wild stampede made by them to escape through the city gates and on boats, on reports that foreign gunboats were com' lng to destroy the city. Each one of these riots was due to local causes, and similar causes would have produced at least two of them, even In the United States. Friendly to Americans. "The Chinese generally are friendly to Americans. I have traveled uOOO miles In and around the Empire since the Ameri can boycott and 10,00) miles In China since the Boxer uprising. In all this travel I was accompanied by only two or three Americans, and I have not witnessed a single manifestation of hostility. A fur ther proof that the Chinese are not hostile to Protestant missions Is found In the fact that our hospitals are crowded. The gentry of Nanchang. a city of 1.003,00)) inhabitants, where the recent riot took place, have presented to us five acres of ground Inside the city walls, and raited 6000 taels for the erection of hospital. This was In return for sending them Dr. Ida Kahn. a Chinese woman educated In America. The mission schools and colleges In China are also crowded. The boycott had little effect on the at tendance. Depends on Exclusion Law. . "I cannot foretell the effect of an ad journment of Congress with no modifica tlon of the exclusion act and with no pro vision tor a more rational and Just en forcement of It. If that difficulty were out of the way. I should say that the prospects of American trade, of American influence and of Christian missions in China are better than at any preceding period In history. "There are Indeed some signs of unrest in China. But this Is not a recrudescence of the Boxer movement. Even themost reactionary authorities In China have learned the power of foreign governments and will not encourage another Boxer up rising." UNWISE TO WITHDRAW TROOPS British Correspondent Says Powers Weaken Their Position. LONDON. April 14. Toe Tribune's cor respondent at Pekln telegraphs aa fol lowst "While native unrest continues, there Is augmentation of the feeling In the for eign community that the European and American governments are unwise In weakening their positions In the eyes of the Chinese. "Major-General Gentry (commanding the British troops in North China) and Chief Engineer Blair have proceeded to Wel-Hal-Wel. ostensibly to disband the Chinese regiment, but really. I have rea son to believe, to return the harbor and port to China. "Even In case of local disturbances, the burden of the first defense will fall npon the Americans. The Cntnese have a fort on the wall which secretly commands the American position. This would demand capture by a rush, but the American gar Tlson Is too weak to afford the necessary men. Meanwhile incendiary literature is being spread throughout the country." ALL ARE EVACUATING PEKIN Foreign Troops Transferred to Tien Tsln on Way Home. , TIEN TSIN. April 13.
