BUT NOT HIS TEACHINGS Will Come to Pacific Coast to Found New Community on the Basis of Christian Socialism, Leaving Dowie With Creditors. CHICAGO, Jan 2S. Zion City is to be deserted by Victor Clemm Voliva and all those over whom he holds sway. A new Zion City is to be founded, probably on the Pacific Coast, and Dr. Dowie and his creditors will be left to fight out the question of supremacy here. Rumors of such impending action have circulated in Zion City every since last summer when overseer John Spelcher was sent to Los Angeles to asume sharge of the various colonies on the Pacific Coast. It was said Spelcher was to select the site for the new colony. This was repeatedly de nied until yesterday when the rumor was confirmed by Voliva himself at a meeting held In Zion Temple. Within a few weeks Voliva will go On a trip of Inspection visiting all the churches west and north of here which claim him as leader. This will incluJe a trip to the Pacific Coast from Seattle, to Los Angeles. It was practically admited that on this journey he would visit several sites now under consideration. It Is probable that on the return trip Voliva I one of the treat contributing causes, and the oilier Is the hopelessness of making the ivIIkIous lender supreme in both temporal and ecclesiastical af fairs so long as the cloud hangs over the place. "Not political but Christian social ism." has been the text of many of Voiiva's sermons. He believes such a colony founded In some warm climate, where fruit ralslnjr. truck gardening, and agriculture can be engaged in, will insure success, and it is his pur pose to lead his people to a land where this can be done.

When San Francisco was Ruined Com merce Sought Northern Ports. NEW YORK, Jan 28. Seventy-five per cent of the Alaska trade has been lost to San Francisco by the earth quake and added to Seattle and Taco ma, acordlng to the statements of Ben jamin Crocker, collector of Internal revenue for Washington and Alaska, who was at the Hotel Knickerbocker yesterday. When everything was ru ined In San Francisco trade naturally sought the more northern ports, and there Js no reason why It should ever be enticed back to its former channels, he says. As an illustration of the growth of the extreme northwest of the United States, Mr. Crocker stated that the collections In his department for such luxuries as cigars and spirits were last $750,823, that Is $175,049 more than In Colorado and Wyoming com- I blned and $198,293 more than In Mon tana, Utah and Idaho together.

NEW Yi'KK, Jin. :s.--Th.- Herald today In u dispatch from Man xanlllo, Cuba, k'vos an Interview wlta Kx.-l'r-.ld'nt I'alma, obtained by Its correspondent, who ti a',( to the re mote ickIoiis on the Canto Hiver where Senor Palma Is i-slabll hlnii a lumn He Is now living In a shanty Uh his two sons. Ills wife and other mem hers of his family are at M.i-.anieas. waiting until 1'altna can build f-r them a home. The President has one thou and cattle on tils ranch and will soon erect a home. Senor I'alma in the interview, told of his striiKK'lcs since isfis t,f throw off the Spanish yoke and establish peace and security for Cuba. ' When, after years of bloodshed and sacrifice," he said, "The Cuban people with the aid of the lr.lied Slates, set up the republic; 1 thought that turbu lence was a thing of the past and n long era of happiness and prosperity was ahead. "During the four years of my admin istration there was peace and ccnil-d'-nce. Public Improvements were made, foreign capital llowed Into the country to build railroads and devel op natural resources. There was secu rity and opportunity for all who de sired to engage In business and work for all who wanted to earn an honest living. The country's credit was high and there were millions In the treas ury. "When this position had been at tained after such havoc and protracted struggle It was a painful shock to see that the Cuban people had not the pa triotism to stand united before the world, but were fomenting dlsseslon and starting a revolution against their own government. "With the millions in the treasury I could undoubtedly have suppressed the revolution, but In doing this I could not prevent the destruclon of property or the shedding of Cuban blood by Cubans.. It was to avert this calamity th.it I st' o.l aside to permit I the United States to exercise the riht and duty it had assumed of preserving. Cuban Independence anil protecting life, property and Individual liberty. "The I'nited States has solemnly as sumed the obligation to do this. Amer icans are a moral people and will, I know, fulfill their obligations. My ab solute confidence that Ho-y will protect life and property is shown in what I arn doing here." "Do you not leliive that should be done by declaring a protectorate?", asked the corrcspond'-nt. "like that! over Egypt?" j "You mean," responded Senor Palma, "That the peace and prosperity of the I Cuban people require an admlnlwtra-! tion like that of Lord Cromer In the1 land of the Nile. I will not undertake to say what measures should be taken. , It is for the American people to say: by what means they will fulfill their obligations, but I have absolute con-1 fidence they will do whatever Is nec essary to enforce the regulation of! peace, law and order, and to make cer tain that there shall never be another' revolution in Cuba, Here people may work in the assurance that they will enjoy the fruits of their labors and inai capital 10 develop tne resources of the island and bring well being to the people can come in confidence." the forty-nliio railroads of the Went and I he trainmen envployed on the same roads have reached u deadlock I i the consideration of the rlr.ht hour work day.

FOR PRESS CENSOR (Continued from Page .1 ) the supplement merely an overflow' for the news of the main sheet. The thought of the commission in drafting these provisions regulating postal matters of the second class Is embodied III a dissertation forming part of the prelude of the bill Itself. The commissioners (ell the country what a newspaper should be, and. In accordance wlih Hies,, views, Ihev would have I he government adopt a policy of paternalism more pronounced tha naiiythlug hitherto dreamed of. Instead cf proceeding to wipe out the supplements containing llctlon and miscellaneous Information at one fell swoop, the commission proposes to "cheek the use of Mellon .is a mas querade for advertising matter, or mat ter not periodical In Its essence." It would d.i this by prohibiting all advertising matter In the page of n newspaper supplement, whether It knows or not that dally newspaper could not give their leaders the in teresting ami Instructive unifies that compose the greater part of the spue of (heir supplements, If they were de prived of advertising patronage. The commission prosises a system uf pen alining weight to prevent ihe undue devotion of periodical to advertising It is suggested that the Increment of postage for tho Increment of weight above the lrt f,,ur ounces shall be one-half-cent for each additional four ounces.
