THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, JAXTJAHY 28, 1906. irsnifs iE SETTLED Dowie and His . Family Place Their Entire Private For tune Behind City. ARE PAUPERS IF IT FALLS Prophet's "Will Gives 95 Per- Cent . of His Estate to Community. Faithful Make - Great Sacrifices. CHICAGO. Jan. 27. (Special.) The troubles of John Alexander Dowie -with his "faithful ones at ZIon" aro in pros pect of being settled. Since the "prophet" had a stroke of apoplexy several months ago there has been a growing factor of insurgents against the will of . tho apostles,' which at that time was .to pur chase a large plat of land in -Mexico upon 'which to establish a new Zion with many diversified interests. Many rumors have been current -since the return of Dowio from the Mexican trip, and his departure for Jamaica. His summary dismissal by cable of Overseer Speicher has given to the elect the knowledge that the first apostle still re tains his grasp of the general supervision, but at the same tlmo admits tho fact that he feels his physical power depart ing. Dowie Wills All to ZIon. It was learned this afternoon that tho will of John Alexander Dowie gives $2L 000.000. or S3 per cent of his estate, to ZIon City. Two and one-half per cent Is to bo givon to educational settlements and city improvement's. The remaining -z per cont is to go to Mrs. Jane Dowie and Gladstone Dowie. Provision is made for his successor, whom the leaders at ZIon arc pledged to support. All debts against Zion City or Dowie personally are to be paid. Tho exact situation as to Overseer Speicher was learned today. Although deposed, as already announced, he re mains tho virtual leader of Zion. He has retired to the background, pending the time now thought to be not far dis tant, when Dowie's illness shall incapaci tate him from any active participation in ZIon's affairs. "When this takes place, Speicher, who Is looked to as the great man of the city built by Dowie. and who has the confidence of the people there, will roturn to full power. Faithful Make Sacrifice. To cope with the recent crisis, V. V. Barnes, head of. Zion City law depart ment, Overseer Speicher and Banker Granger, the members of the triumvirate, each asked cuts of 52000 a year in sal aries. Then the managers of the various enterprises a.nd the other overseers and the deacons and many others insisted on taking their share of the burden. The factory hands and laborers were only restrained from cutting down thoir own wages with difficulty. Mrs. Dowie ordered Judge Barnes to make over her private property, includ ing Shiloh House, at Zion City, and the Summer estate in Michigan to the gen eral property account. It stands today be hind all the other assets of Zion City. Thus If Zion City goes down to ruin, the Dowies, father, mother and children, come out of it paupers. REBELS STEAL MUNITIONS Widespread Plot of Terrorists at Moscow Unearthed. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 27. Tho gov ernment has been advised from Irkutsk, Siberia, that a number of officials and employes of tho general offices of the Trans-Baikal Railroad have been arrested on the charge of being Implicated in ab stracting from a government munition train 1000 rifles, 1000 revolvers and 10,000 cartridges, and giving them to the revo lutionists.

A large number of summary searches and arrests have occurred of late at Tsarskoe-Selo. A store of a Jewish drug gist named Abramovitch was ransacked, "but no seizures were made. The police say the affair was unimportant, and that they merely desired to keep an eye on all suspicious persons in the Immediate neigh borhood of the Emperor. The plot at Moscow revealed by the ar rest of the pseudo Princess Koslovska on January IS, however, was found to be really serious, and to have wide ramifica tions. Intended to encompass the death of Governor-General DoubassofC, of Moscow, and all his staff at the blessing-of-the-water ceremony. The authorities are con vinced that the revolutionary leaders have eliminated uprisings and street fighting from their programme lor the time being in favor of terrorist attempts against high officials, and they have already. succeeded In breaking up several conspiracies. The government is disposing of the cases of those arrested before January 22, most of them being fined for carrying revolvers.

The po lice authorities of Burlington County, and of Baltimore, are confident that Rufus Johnson, the colored man under arrest in Baltimore, was connected with the mur der of Miss Florence W.

DELAY DUE TO FRAUD CASE Blue Mountain to Be Created When Conspiracy Trial Is Ended. Protests Against Rogue Reserve Pending. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 27. The present year is like ly to see several million acres added to tho forest-reserve area of Oregon. Up to this time 0,072, 50 acres liave been brought within permanent forest reserves and 6,90S,336 acres additional have beon temporarily withdrawn. Just what part of this latter area is to become perma nent forest reserve and what part Is to be turned back to the public domain has not been determined. Out of withdrawals, however, 2,130,400 acres set apart for tho Bluo Mountain reserve, will be placed under the forest administration. This reserve would have been created some time ago but for tho fact that all tho papers bearing on its examination and withdrawal liave been turned over to the courts and will figure in the conspiracy land capes that will be tried in Portland some time this Spring or Summer. Upon tho conclusion of those trials this reserve will be created by proc lamation of the President. Rogue River Reserves. There has been an intimation that a proclamtaion will soon i3UO creating a Rogue River forest reserve in Southwest ern Oregon, for which 1.1S2.320 acres havo been withdrawn. This proposed reserve takes In fully half of Curry and Joseph ine Counties and small portions of Cooa and Douglas. When originally mapped out, tho Rogue River resorve was deemed Impracticable, because tho railroad land giant traverses the area. Now that the lieu land law -is ropoaled and there is no danger of lieu land frauds, this ob jection from the Government standpoint wems to have been removed. Senator Fulton, however, has asked that action In this case be postponed until he can present the protests of people of South western Oregon, who aro said to gener ally object to the establishment of this reserve. These protests may postpone tho proclamation some little time. Various withdrawals of smull areas In Marion. Linn. Lane and Douglas Coun ties, aggregating 251,040 actys, have been made with a view to enlarging the Cas cade reserve along Its west boundary. It Is quite probable that thejj "tracts will bo permanent reserves. The same Is true of the withdrawal of 12.0CO acres in Clackamas County adjoining the Cascade reserve. In Morrow and Grant Counties a with drawal has been made embracing 417,000 acres, which will eventually be made into the Hoppner forest reserve unless pres ent plans are abandoned. May Open "Warner Mountain. It has not yet been determined what disposition shall be made of the Warner Mountain withdrawal, which embraces 2.S39.S16 acres in Klamath, Lake and Crook Counties. Much of this land, upon ex amination, has been found unfit for for est reserve purposes, and will probably bo turned back to tho public domain, but those portions which are valuable for timber or as protection to watersheds are likely to be permanently reserved at some future time. In addition to the foregoing, 12S0 acres in Jackson County have been withdrawn with a view to enlarging tho Ashland reserve and 44S0 acres In Crook County withdrawn to enlarge Maury Mountain reserve. Tho Secretary of the Interior yesterday withdrew from entry four townships In the middle of Lewis County, Washing ton, with a view to enlarging the Rainier forest reserve. This land Is unsurveyed timber tracts In a high, mountainous region and will be permanently reserved after being more carefully examined. The Secretary also withdrew from entry about 3S.O00 acres near Olympla, with a view to enlarging the Olympic forest reserve. GOOD PROGRESS OX TJMATILIiA Water-Users Sign Contract Best Among Irrigation Plans. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Jan. 27. Officials of the reclama tion service are pleased with the prog ress being made by landowners on the Umatilla irrigation project. Late advices from the local engineer indicate strong interest on the part of water-users, who have already pledged 13,000 out of the 18,000 acres Included in the project. As most of, the legal difficulties have been adjusted by the Secretary of the Interior, It is believed that no great delay will occur in signing up all the land em braced In this project. Although Umatilla is one of the minor National works in point of cost and acreage. Its favorable climate, low alti tude, fertile soil and adaptability to a wide variety of products makes this one of the most attractive projects under taken. Tho land is suited for orchards and amall fruits, and, when so used, from 10 to 20 acres are ample for tho support of a family. Tho fruit and vege tables are the first on the market. Trans portation, facilities aro excellent, the markets being Portland and Spokane. The engineering works arc simple, and. while the cost of water Is JG0 per acre, it is relatively low, compared with the val ues produced. Soil experts who havo' thoroughly ctcamlned the whole area aro enthusiastic concerning the future of this section when watered and predict a popu lous and prosperous community here at no distant day. MAY CLOSE PUGET SOUND YARD Falling Urgent Appropriation, Funds Will Run Short, OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 27.

In the past six months taps have been sounded over the crave of 3S.C0S pensioners of the Civil "War. aecorfllnr to a statement of Pension Commissioner Warner yesterday. This, he says. Is an evidenco of the rapidity with which the roll of veterans Is being diminished. The total number of pension ers on July 1, 1S06, was 6S4.60S. On Decem ber 31 It was 579,234. Baron Suycmatsu Denies It. PENANG. Straits Settlement, Jan. 2S. Baron Suye'matsu. son-in-law of Marquis Ito, who paid a visit to the United States in 1M, while on his way to England to assist In the negotiation of one of the Japanese war loans, was interviewed to day on the probability of the United States wishing to sell the Philippines to Japan. He said he did not believe the rumor of the sale of the Philippines. America's policy is akin to Imperialism and it is not likely that she will part with the islands and thus greatly dimin ish her prestige In the Far East. Work for Joint Statehood. WASHINGTON.

TRIIIES TAKE REVENGE OS MOOR ISH BANDIT CHIEF. Sultan' DomlaiOB Itcfarn to Anarchy, While Conference Dlncusnen Hott to Itabie Taxes. TANGIER, Morocco, Jan. 27. Fight ing has begun ki the environs of Tan gier between tho Anjcra tribesmen and members of Raisuli's band. The tribes men havo burned three villages oast of Tangier and are now marching to at tack Raisull at his fortress In Zinai. A transport has left Adjaercud. where It will discharge artillery and gunners for Oujda. Tho Moorish troops arc powerloss. Most of their horses havo died through want of forage and there have beon nu merous desertions owing to tho non payment of arrears In their wages. A convoy with 525,000 lias arrived at Oujda to pay Molluh's troops, who have threatened to leave unless arrears wore paid up. This seems to indicate that tho Sultan fears renewed activity on the part of the pretendor. Oudja being tho spot ho is expected to attack first. ALGECIRAS. Jan. 27. Advices re ceived from Tangier by the delogatcs to the confcroncc arc to the effect that serious disorders havo been renewed between Raisull. the bandit chief, and the Anjera tribesmen. One of tho Anjcra chiefs was killed and others of them, with large followlngs, aro uniting for the purpose of an aggressive struggle with Raisull. DEVISIXG NEW TAX SYSTEM Moroccan Conference Finds' Many Complications in Task. ALGECIRAS, Jan. 27. The plenipoten tiaries of the powers resumed their ses sions today and spent a couple of hours going over the. work of the committee on Moroccan revenues. The powers have several Important objects In examining the Moorish system of taxes, or rather lack of system, and trying to regulate it. The Sultan is always In need of money, and will be In a better humor to co operate with the powers In the work of reform If he Is supplied with more cash for foreign luxuries of which he is fond and which are a scandal to his pious subjects. Tho Moroccan conference seems dis posed also to reduce the number of so called "protected" persons who escape taxation because they are foreigners or in partnership with foreigners. "You have only left me the poor to tax," said the Sultan to the Foreign Min ister at Fez, when the subject was dis cussed there some time ago. "You have taken the rich men out of my reach." Part of the plan under consideration to day Is to limit foreign protection and to introduce land taxes. It was proposed In committee to tax landlords. "No," said SIdl Mohammed el Mokhrl, the second of the Moroccan delegates to the conference. "Tax the tenants. We can never find the landlords. The occu pants of houses always say they are ten ants." M. Revo!!, chief of the French mission, who formerly was Governor of Algiers, and who. thoreforc. is familiar with North African conditions, remarked: "Tax them both; then you will catch one of them." One perplexity Is the status of the Shereef of Wazan, who Is regarded throughout the Barbary States as the descendant of the indrcssl family and Szharon family, and is very rich, and is also a largo landowner In Algeria. His In fluence Is religious rather than political. The failure of the Ministers at Fez to agree upon a new taxation scheme was due to the objection of th'e French Min ister to tax the Shereef of Wazan. Oth er Ministers said that If tho richest fam ily was to be protected by one power, they would not give up protecting those who were less rich. The Sultan. In addition to other rea sons for reforming the Moroccan sys tem of taxation, must have more mon ey with which to pay the scml-mlll-tary establishment which the powers wish to form. An odd experlenco of the Spanish cruiser Infanta Isabel, which is pa troling the Moroccan coast to prevent the smuggling of arms, was reported to the conference by her commander, whp returned here Tuesday. While the" cruiser was close to the shore the flag of Roghi. the Sultan's formidable rebel subject, was observed flying from a staff with the French flag un der it. A boat manned by Moors and displaying tho French flag put off from the shore, pulled alongside the cruiser, and handeQ to the captain of the Isabel, which tho Moors evidently had mistaken for a French vessel, a message from Roghi, Inviting her commander to come ashoro and place himself at tho lattcr's disposition. The commander of the Spanish cruiser, as he was without tho right to search for eign vessels, did not attempt to Inter fere, but put back to Algeclras, in or der to advise the Spanish delegates of the mysterious flag Incident. Germany Fears Xo Trouble. BERLIN. Jan. 2S. fSocelalA All fwr. of trouble occurring at the Algeclras con ference on Moroccan affairs have dissi pated here It is expected that the United States will propose a compromise on the subject of police supervision over Morocco, which is the one subject most likely to lead to serious dispute and of fering an opportunity -for a break.

TIE TO FRANCE LOOSENS Significant Speech at Banquet in Honor of William's Birthday Mnrks Rearrangement of European Alliances. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 27. A new grouping of the powers of Europe, with Germany and Russia .arranged side by side in the closest friendship, and the mis matched alliance of the empiro with re publican France lagging In tho rear, was forecasted by the words of Emperor Nich olas at a gala luncheon at Tsarskoe-Selo today In honor of Emperor William's birthday. Rising to his feet before a brilliant company of Russian and German repre sentatives to propose a toast to tho Ger man Emperor. Emperor Nicholas lifted his glass and said slowly and distinctly, as if weighing every word: "I drink to tho health of tho Emperor of Germany and the King of Prussia, my brother and very dear friend." More Than Ally, He Says. Tho phrases chosen were significant enough In themselves, tho Emperor in previous years having proposed the health of the Emperor-King without the qualify ing expression oj brotherhood and friend ship, but, turning to Herr von Schoen, the German Ambassador, who was standing at his right, the- Emperor grasped him by tho hand and Is reported to havo said: "Frere, e'est plus qu allle." ("Brother, that's more than ally.") The stage of the momentous utterance was the dlning-hall of the Alexander or Little Palace at Tsarskoe-Selo. Tho Emperor's choice of the word "ally" Indicated that the defensive alli ance with France Is still considered bind ing, but evidently, as has been the gossip In diplomatic circles here for somo time, not a hair's 'breadth beyond the terms of tho treaty providing for common action only in case Franco Is not the aggressor, and there is no tolling how soon It will bo allowed to pass Into desuetude. Friendship Grows Closer. Tho present relations between Germany and Russia have been a matter of slow but steady growth, and signs of tho new alignment have long been In the air. Since tho outbreak of tho Russo-Japanese war the warm personal friendship always existing between tho two monarchs had been tied closer, and tho many material tokens of friendship manifested by Ger many during tho war, compared with the lukewarm support to which Franco was limited by her new-found entente with Great Britain, has combined to build up a strong Germanophllo sentiment in In fluential quarters In St. Petersburg. At the same time much of the necessity to France of the Franco-Russlun alliance vanished when France clasped hands with Great Britain and practically assured her self of an ally in caso of war. KAISER OBSERVES BIRTHDAY President of Reichstag" nails Him as Lover of Peace. BERLIN, Jan. Ti. Emperor William's birthday was celebrated today with the usual observances.
