Chicago, April 17. All negotiation
looking toward a peaceful settlew
of the question ss to who sbsll control

Dowie, through his attorney, rejected
the preposition advanced by Oenwal
Overer W. O. Voliva yesterday to
the effect that the 11,000.000 estate
be turned ever to a board of centre), t

were to bo selected by Dowle and a lilw
number by Voliva, the ninth maa lo
be selected by the board as erected. It
was stipulated that tho actUu of U
members thereof bo final ia determining
whether or not the deposed "first apes

Dowie rejected tho proposal oa the
ground that act only would he aot ac

This oplaioa Is shared by Mr Lang,
as the following quote ties wfH show.
"As Moliero never had the heart to
