Dowie Tells Strange Story to
Justify Claim to Be ;
Prophet.
SOUL AND SPIRIT SEPARATE
Says He Say Own Dead Body in
Shroud Met Gabriel and Virgin
Mary Breaks Into Sobs "
While Testifying.
CHICAGO, June 16. John Alexander
Dowie, testifying in the hearing: of the
Zion City controversy In Judge Landls'
court this afternoon, told of an instance
when his body and soul became separat
ed and In his spiritual being he saw his
own dead body lying beneath a shroud.
It occurred,' he said, while he was fight
ing the liquor traffic In Melbourne, and
was regarded by him as a divine warn
ing that he was about to die.
At another time, the 'witness asserted,
his spirit loft his body and the angel
Gabriel and the Virgin Mary were pres
ent In the realm visited by hla spirit.
This narration was brought out during
cross-examination.
Dowie denied that he had ever repre
sented himself as Elijah the restorer,
subsequently qualifying the statement by
saying he told his people that he came
in the spirit and power of Elijah." On
September 18, 1904. he said, he proclaimed
himself as the "first apostle." but, when
pressed for an explanation as to how ho
received the commission, he replied:
"I can't tell you." j
DOWI EBKEARS INTO TEARS
Broken-Down Prophet Convulsed
With Sobs in Court.
CHICAGO. June 15. -(Special). John
Alexander Dowie lost control of himself
toward the end of his story to the court
this afternoon and broke down and cried.
His sobs resounded through the court
room and his shoulders heaved and shook
and his frame quivered with his emo
tions. After a few minutes intermission
the proceedings were continued.
The broken old man is permitted much
latitude and Is practically allowed to tell
his story in his own way. He becomes
reminiscent and goes back time and again
in thought to liis boyhood to recount
something which to his mind points to
him as a prophet. In these relations he
becomes greatly affected.
Alienists employed by the Vollva fac
tion has been In court for three days
studying Dowie as he told the story of
his life, his mental and spiritual growth,
his ambitions, dreams and visions. Later
they will be called upon to give their
opinion as to his present mental condi
tion. BILL WORK OF PACKERS
(Continued From Pace 1.)
money should be appropriated Initially
and the report suggests $3,000,000 to Insure
the inspection. As to the expense to be
borne by the packers, the report recom
mends that the Secretary of Agriculture
ascertain what this will be and charge a
fee to cover it on each carcass. This
fee Is then to be collected by the Secre
tary of the Treasury and turned Into the
treasury. The fee Is to be uniform and
In amount only sufficient to cover the
cost of the inspection.
MEAT POISONED MANY KAFFIRS
Supplies for British Army Rejected
and Eaten by Natives.
LONDON, June 15. Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, son of the ex-Chancellor of the
Exchequer, will aslc War Secretary Hal
dane to inform the House of Commons of
the quantity of Chicago canned meat sup
plied to the troops In South Africa during
the late war and what proportion of en
teric deatns ought more properly to have
been described as due to ptomaine poison
ing." Another question is based on the discovery-
In the dining-room of the House of
Commons of a box marked "Armours (St.
Louis, Chicago and Kansas City), Chick
ens." Frederick E. Smith, Unionist, will
Inquire what portion of the food supplied
to the members of the House comes from
Chicago.
There was an incidental mention of
canned meiAs in the course of today's in
quiry Into the South African stores scan
dals. Evidence was given to the effect
that army officers sold 20,000 cases of
canned meats. Including the Armour
brand. Helmet brand and Mitchell's brand,
to a contractor for 2 cents a pound. The
contractor . complained that the meats
were bad and returned the cases. The
officer who sold the canned meats testified
that he subsequently ordered the "filth to
be dumped Into the sea," and much of It
afterwards floated ashore and was picked
up by Kaffirs, who ate it, with the result
that a number of them died ot ptomaine
poisoning.
COMMITTEE IN . CONFERENCE
Majority Considers Roosevelt's Ob
jections Views' of Minority.
WASHINGTON, June 15? An informal
conference of those members of the House
committee of agriculture whose votes au
thorised the report on the substitute
meat-Inspection bill, to which the Presi
dent objects, was begun at 11:30 o'clock
today. No regular meeting -of the com
mittee had been called, and it is under
stood that the President's objection will
first be considered In detail by the mem
bers favoring the substitute in an informal
manner before action will be attempted.
Minutes of the' informal session will be
made by an official stenographer.
Chairman Wads-worth says he will make
no statement whatever regarding the
President's criticism. Other members of
the committee. 'however, after the confer
ence today, said the committee will "stand
pat" on the substitute.
Speaker Cannon said: "I do not care
to discuss the report for publication.
It will receive safe and sound consid
eration. - I am also satisfied that be
fore Congress adjourns legislation will
be enacted to provide for efficient in
spection for one-third of the world's
meat product, finding markets , in the
United States and in foreign coun
tries." The minority report, Blgned by Repre
sentatives Lamb (Va.). Bowls (Ala.) and
Chandler (Miss.), says:
"In our opinion the Beverldge amend
ment, after correcting certain minor pro
visions, will be a far better bill and ac
complish the purpose intended more
satisfactorily than is possible under
the provisions of the House substi
tute. 4 "
"Can it be tolerated that those whose
acts have endangered the public health
and undermined the public confidence
shall escape from the condition which
they nave created without penalty oi
any kind, and with the added premium
of J2.500.000 annually Trom the Treas
ury of the United States to pay the
expenses of correcting their own
wrongs ?"
The court review provision ot the
substitute is characterized as a "sword
over the heads of the inspectors en
gaged in the discharge of their duties
'and to cripple materially the efficiency
of the service.
Under this provision the report says
a Federal Circuit Judge can review
the finding of any inspector and of
the Secretary of Agriculture, whether
on a point of sanitation or with re
spect to the condition of any meat or
any meat food products, "and thereby
nave tno inspection system of the
United States, intended to protect the
public health, to be tried and con
trolled by the Federal Circuit Courts.
"We assert that It 3 not a proper Judi-.
cial function which they have at
tempted to impose on the courts."-
The waiving of the civil service oro-
vlsion Is declared to be an "unsound
nd vicious policy."
The inspectors appointed within the
period named. It says, will hold office
for life.
PLUNDER AND ROB JEWS
Mobs of Fanatics Have Free Play in
Bialystok.
BIALYSTOK. Russia, June 16.
(Special.) Despite the fact that mili
tary and police patrols were reported
earlier in the day to be guarding all
points of the city, and were said to
have matters well In hand, renewed
rioting broke out here Friday. evening.
The work of pillaging, murdering and
firing, which began with bomb-throwing
and the massacraf Jews on Thurs
day, is again in full swing. Hourly
peasants, tramps and hoodlums are ar
riving in the city, and already thou
sands of these characters are in the
vicinity of Thursday's disturbances,
venting their spite on the Jews.
Going from- house to house, which
have been deserted by their occupants,
the rioters first loot the premises of
their contents and then-set fire to the
houses to cover up their dastardly
work. All the bouses robbed and
burned were formerly occupied by
Jews, who fled from the . mob's ven
geance. . After finishing their work In
the houses, the mob turned' its atten
tion to the Jewish shops and stores,
and as soon as they pilfered the con
tents again applied the torch.
Forming in broken columns, the
mobs 'began marching about the streets
flogging almost to death any Jew they
happened to meet. Already 50 Jews
have been killed and more than 300
wounded, being unable to enter the
hospitals because of lack of facilities.
The suffering of these poor wretches
is beyond description, their wounds,
owing to the lack of doctors and nec
essary medicines, being uncared for.
Escaping from vengeance, 6000 Jews
are encamped In the forest near town
guarded by troops. Another bomb was
thrown at a passing patrol Friday,
killing one and wounding many others.
The perpetrator of this outrage es
caped. CITIES OF CONCRETE.
Revolution, in the Art of Building
Construction.
Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
As the mud hovels and snow igloos of
primitive man disappear and give place
to the houses of wood and brick, and as
these in turn have been succeeded by
buildings ot steel and stone, so It may
be that the cities of the future will con
sist of concrete. Already we have In our
city several large shops of reinforced
concrete that is. of cement and broken
stone, with steel rods carried through
the beams and the cheapness and celer
ity which are the advantage of this con
struction are sure to commend It to man
ufacturers, to railroad officials, and why
not to home-builders? In upper Man
hattan may be seen a castle-like resi
dence, with a huge stable, both of con
crete and both soundly built, it would
appear, while the new shops of the Edi
son Company, In Orange, have been put
up in a surprisingly short time, consider
ing the space they cover and the weight
of machinery and material they must
carry.
The builder of the shops in Orange
says that he believes the time is coming
when he can put up homes in Brook
lyn, or, rather, "pour" them, at the rate
of one a day, the preliminary work of
boxing having been done, of course, and
they will "set" in a week. Concrete Is
new material in this country, therefore
It would be absurd to claim for It all
the virtues that time alone may prove. It
may be affected by frost, by shrinking
and expansion In cold and heat, by chem
ical change where certain kinds- of stone
are employed; but, so far as experience
supports the Judgment. It commends it
self as at least the equal of brick and
stone. It is cheap because It requires
only skilled preparation, but no expert
labor, A child can pour the mixture if
e can push the barrow or hoist the
tubs. It contains nothing Inflammable,
hence it is especially useful for office
buildings and factories. And a house
can be made of It in less than half the
time required to erect a house of stone.
Reports from the Pacific Slope seem to
show that concrete endures earthquakes
better than most other structural ma
terial, for after a building has quite
hardened It becomes practically a block
of stone. The tales told of its resistance
to loading strain, and of the slight ef
fect of sudden impacts support the Idea
that this new material can serve as use
fully for the inner facings of our forti
fications and for drydocks, tunnels, sea
walls and the like as it serves for shops.
An architectural revolution Is accom
plished If concrete fulfills the hopea that
it has created.
Southwestern Miners Vote to Return
FORT SMITH, Ark.. June 15. The tell
ers completed the count here today ot
the ' referendum vote by Southwestern
coal miners on the question of accept
ing the proposed compromise with the
operators. The agreement, affecting Ar

two-thirds. The Kansas miners had pre
viously favored the agreement. The min

iha i.nrin o- wnn nostooned from
morning till afternoon, when Mr. John
son, attorney for the aeiense, siaieu
that Mr. Pierce had not arrived from
New York and Mr. Priest, associate
counsel, who has been ill, had departed
today for French Lick Springs to re
cuperate for ten days or more. Mr.
Johnson read a telegram Just received
from Mr. Pierce aa follows:
Pierce's Plea for More Time.
I feel that I am fairly entitled to the
presence of both yourself and H. 8. Priest
when ray testimony 1. given In Missouri
cam, but I do not want to ask for an unrea
sonable delay, and you can say to Attorney
General Hadley and the court that, if thej
are willing to fix the hearing for July 2 or
any subsequent date, I will be in St. Louis
on that date and readily testify, whether
H. 8. Priest is well enough to be there or
not
Mr. Johnson then requested that the
hearing be postponed until July 3 or a
later date.
Assistant Attorney-General Lake ob
jected to a continuance to suit the con
venience of Mr. Pierce and asked that
the court issue an attachment for him.
Judge Anthony, however, ruled that.
Inasmuch as a subpena had never been
issued for Mr. Pierce to appear here,
and as his appearance was promised
upon an agreement among counsel con
cerned, the court did not feel that the
Commissioner Is authorized legally to
issue a writ of attachment.
Asks Court to Compel Presence.
Mr. Lake then filed with the court
an application petitioning the court to
Issue an order under section 8983 of the
revised statutes of 1899, compelling
the appearance of Mr. Fierce under
penalty of annulment of the Waters
Pierce OH Company's answer to, the
ouster suit. '
Mr. Johnson raised a question con
cerning the legality of such a proceed
ing and said he desired to consult with
Mr. Priest and possibly file objections
to the application. The court ruled that
Mr. Johnson would be granted until
August 15 to file objections and the
hearing was adjourned until Septem
ber 10.
MANY CONSULS PROMOTED
President Makes Large Number of
Important Appointments,
WASHINGTON, June 15. The Presi
dent today sent to the Senate the nom
inatlons of 61 Consular officers, prob
ably the largest number of such nom-
inations ever, submitted in ' one day.
The distribution was the result of many
weeks' work by Secretary Root and
AVilbur Carr, the chief of the Consular
Bureau, upon the general proposition
to provide against the failure of Con
gress to provide for a regular system
of promotion In the service. Therefore
nearly all of the nominations today are
really promotions and the documentary
evidence of that fact is found in state
ments that the nomination is to fill a
vacancy caused by the "promotion" of
the incumbent instead of by the "trans
fer." All of these promotions were
made upon the efficiency record of the
Consuls. As a result, only the places
at the foot of the list are left open for
original appointment.

WASHINGTON, " June 15. Senator Gal-

UNVEILS STATUE 0F B00NE
Floral Parade Followed by Night
Parade, Sham Battle and Im- ,
" niense Ball Boone's Battles J
With Indians Pictured.
LOUISVILLE. Ky., Ijune 15. The
greater portion of the pegeantry of the
home-coming week was crowded into
today.- The programme, as originally
planned, included sufficient features of
its own, but the' great floral' parade,
which was postponed from Wednesday
because of rain, was an added feature,
with the result that the day s doings
included- a day and a night parade;
a dedication, a sham battle and a great
balL !
The latter event was one of the
greatest' and most., elaborate affairs
ever held in the South. Twenty thou
sand invitations were issued and, but
for the rigid enfdrcement of the edict
that only those in evening ciotnps
should be allowed on the dancing floor,
the crowd would have taken complete
possession of everything.
The illuminated parade, which pre
ceded the ball, was a gorgeous affair.
There were 15 float, each represent
ing some stage In the progress of the
Kentucky commonwealth. All were
brilliantly Illuminated.
The great floral parade took place to
day. The glorification of Daniel Boone
came later in Cherokee Park. About a
dozen lineal descendants of the great pio
neer were present. A statue of Boone,
modeled by Miss Ena Yandeii, of Lou
isville, and presented to the City of
Louisville by C C. Bicknell, was
unveiled.
Following the ceremonies at the Boone
statue, a picture of many stirring events
In the life of Boone was given in another
part of the park. A stronghold situated
upon the summit of a small elevation and
carried for the Boone s Borough, was
attacked by Indians, who were on the
point of overpowering and annihilat
ing the garrison, when the swarm of
pioneers, led by Boone in person, ar
rived in time to save the fort and Its
inmates.
Tonight the grand ball for which
elaborate prepartions have been made
was held. Twenty thousand invitations
have been Issued.

"but what I really wanted to know
"Knowledge," broke in the great man.
"Is power, and from where do we get
our knowledge if not from books. Yet in
