The telegram from Mr. Considlne, which was not followed by any detailed information on the plans, indicates that the Considine interests have now resumed control of the circuit. Manager Pierong, of the Empress, aM yesterday that he "had not re reived any official information to the effect that Mr. Considlne had resumed control of the circuit and following a conversation by Ions distance with the general office at .Seat lie, said no further information had been received from. the. East. Mr. Pierong was of the opinion, however, that the tele pram meant the Empress would not dose next Saturday night, as arranged for by the Loew interests. "We probably will be advised Mon day," said Mr. Pierong. "In case the circuit, including the Portland house, is to be kept open, we can book for the show next week without any dit ficuHy." Mr. Pieronfr's Instructions to close the house next Saturday came from Mr. Loew's New York office. SPOKANE WOMAN SUICIDE 1Vifc of K. A. Hutchinson, Melan cholia Victim, Shoots Herself.

Dr. Dicker, in Acldrr, Avrr, lie nnu Vision of Event of Week and That Country la FaclnB Danger. "America is the psychic center of the world and upon the people oi America at the present time lies the responsibility of preserving the world from chaos and destruction," aeciareu Dr. J. H. Dickey, addressing the mem bers of the Temple of Universal fel lowship at the meeting at the Wood men Hall last night. "Destructive psychological forces that have been at work in the world have developed great vibrations, and the people of Europe have not been able to stand against them and over come them. The hope now lies with the people of this country. Dr. Dickey declared that he had a conscious vision of the events of the coming week in their bearing upon the world crisis, and that within the next week it would probably be de cided whether the world is to emerge from the chaos of war into which it has been plunged, or whether It should be plunged deeper and the peo ple of America, failing in their duty to save the world, should lose their country in the unlversal upheaval. "The President of the United States needs your support," he said, "and be QUEEN OF THE ROSE FESTIVAL. V V, o.,l it in th, rnmlnr WAk more than ever before, for looking -con sciously throagh the veil of the future see the war lords gathered in coun cil, and 1 know what it means. it means that unless the people of this country throw their efforts and their psychic influence against the iorces that are destroying, in this moment the United States will fall of her duty and will be guilty of the greatest psy chological crime of the ages. 'Sensitives over the entire country have been receiving visions of late. I myself have received them, and they were of a nature that is not conducive to the greatest, restfulness of soul. There is no reason why we should not receive clear visions today as did the prophets of other days, and it is not unreasonable to believe that some, of whom we have heard, have lately seen the vision of the failure of this gene ration and the destruction of this city." Dr. Dickey held that the persistent tendency of the age has been to send out thoughts of negation and destruc tion. This he declared to be a psycho logical crime against humanity, and he held the present war In Europe to be the result of the accumulated crim inal psychic impulses that have been sent forth in this age. The people of the United States who are talking peace and thinking peacd at all times, he maintained, are tak ing -the surest method to offset the negative influences that are at work. and unless the people of this country develop sufficient positive psychic force to offset the negative and de structive forces that are at work, the entire fabric of human civilization is destined to crumble and be destroyed. REVOLT SOON CRUSHED N V ASS ALAND NATIVES FAIL GAIN CONTROL. IN PLAN TO Leader, Trained in aiinlon School, Builds Church Like Fort In An ticipation of Days of War. DURBAN. South Africa. April 20. John Chilembwe, the leader of the re cent native uprising In Nyassaland. had undergone some training at an Ameri can "university, according to a writer in the Natal Mercury who took part in crushing the outbreak. What uni versity it was he does not mention, but presumably one which specializes in theological studies. The writer says: "Chilembwe was trained as a teacher in an American Baptist mission at Chiradzulo. As he proved clever, he was taken to America and there took a university course. He did well and was ordained pastor and sent back to his old station, of which later he took complete charge. He afterward built a large church, which, it since has been discovered, was constructed with great thoughtf ulness. with three-brick walls, the intention being to use it as a citadel in military operations. "He began teaching Ethiopianism and gradually got a considerable number of highly educated native to join htm, and ultimately they decided to wrest Nyassaland from the Europeans and run it themselves. All the arrangements were complete for a simultaneous at tack on every township and station in the country, and January 23 was fixed as the date for the attack. When the moment came the majority failed to turn out In some cases the whites had been warned, so that the raid on Magemoro was the only successful one. "Chilembwe was shot in action and so were many other natives. Several were court-marlaled and shot, and so far 16 have been hanged. We are daily receiving fresh prisoners and the dis satisfaction is stamped out." THIRTY PIGEONS IN RACE "All Wool" Comes From Castle Rock First at 1017 Yards a Minute.

Corre spondence between John D. Rockefel ler, Jr., and Ivy L. Lee, assistant to the president of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, relating to the "broad educative campaign of public ity" conducted by Mr. Lee for Mr. Rockefeller in connection with the Colorado coal strike, was made public today by the Federal Commission on Industrial Relations.

The correspondence, which covers the period from June 1, 1914, to August 5, 1914, contains several references to Governor Ammons. After Mr. Lee and Mr. Rockefeller had agreed on a plan for the distribution of a series of bulle tins designed to "clarify the public mind" as to the Colorado situation, Mr. Rockefeller wrote to Mr. Lee that he had prepared a memorandum in reply to magazine statements and letters at tacking the Colorado coal companies, but had decided not to make it public He forwarded the memorandum to Mr. Lee and wrote; "Several points in my memorandum, however, could well, even more appro priately, be used in the letter from Gov ernor Ammons to President Wilson which you are proposing to prepare as soon as the Major's memorandum reaches you, which I hope will be shortly." "Major" Is Jadge-Advoeate. The only major referred to in the correspondence is Major K. F. Bough ton, judge-advocate- of the Colorado Militia. On June 11 Mr. Lee said in a letter to Mr. Rockfeller: "i am inclined to think at the mo ment the best thing we can do would be to give the letter from Governor Amnions to President Wilson our at tention and I hope we can accomplish something soon." The last reference to this subject is In a letter from Mr. Lee to Mr. Rocke feller on July 2. In which lie wrote With reference to the letter for Governor Ammons, I am not entirely satisfied with the draft I prepared and am making certain amendments to it. I sent out a draft for discussion but will get it into shape in a day or eo and then send you & copy." Rockefeller Makes Personal Loan. On June 10, Mr. Rockefeller Inclosed to Mr. Lee a check for 12000 "a a per sonal loan applicable to the initial ex pense of organizing the publicity cam paign undertaking on behalf of the coal operators at Denver." He asked for the return of the money as soon as the operators began to remit to Mr. Lee.' The correspondence discloses that other plans were discussed. On July 2, Mr. Lee referred to speech by Representative Klndel of Colorado, and said: We are going to arrange to have Mr. Kindel distribute some 20,000 or 30,000 copies of his speech to a mailing list which we will supply. On July 11, Mr. Lee wrote that he had talked with F." A. Delano, then a member of the Industrial Relations Commission, and had been "assured" that the Commission had decided not to to to Denveruntil the "pending dif fimiitv" was over. "That will prevent a reopening of the flood gates on this subject," he added. Many of Mr. Rockefeller's letters Inclosed newspaper or magazine arti cles which he suggested for use in the publicity plan, and many suggested persons to whom bulletins should sent. The Commission will conclude to morrow the inquiry into the relations of labor and the law. Professor B. C. Ewer to Speak. Professor Bernard C.
