St. Petersburg, July 28.The em peror Is apparently convinced that he took the right course in suppressing parliament. A member of tho nobility enjoying personal relations with the sovereign informs the Associated Press that the emperor displays ex ceptionally high spirits. Two weeks ago when he saw him the emperor seemed under a great mental strain over the situation. But with "parlia ment off his hands" and the govern ment again free to pursue its own pol icy a great burden appeared to be lift ed from his shoulders. The original plan of creating an advisory council, the emperor having broken down Pre mier Stolypin's purpose, is to form a reorganized cabinet, containing non bureaucratic elements which will be able to introduce the policy of "strong handed reform" proclaimed by the government. Pie has secured tenta tive acceptances from M. Guchkoff, the prominent moderate member of the Moscow zemstvo Prince Georgi Evgororovich Lvoff of Tula, Prince Nikolai Nikolaievich Lvoff of Saratoff and M. Stakovich of Orel upon the condition that no less than half the portfolios are to be given to non bureaucrats and that a "broad, con ciliatory programme of reform" will be proclaimed in the hope of calming the population. Some of those with whem M. Stolypin is negotiating are i insisting that the programme must in elude an unequivocal declaration in I favor of placing the Jews and all other inhabitants on an equal fooling before In order to close out the balance of our stock of Men's pants we will make a great reduction in "oifr prices.

O BEQUESTS TO CHARITY HELD ONLY IN TRUST BEMIDJl, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1906. COURT DECIDES THAT ZION CITY INDUSTRIES DO NOT BELONG TO "ELIJAH'* DOWIE. NAMES RECEIVER FOR PROPERTY REFUSED TO APPOINT MEMBER OF CHURCH BECAUSE OF OB- LIGATION TAKEN. Chicago, July 28.Judge Landis of the United States district court gave his decision during the day in the controversy between the adherents of John Alexander Dowie and Wilbur Glenn Voliva over the property at Zion City. I The court holds that Zion City and its industries do not belong to Dowie that, while the contributors of the funds did not express a formal dec laration of trust, a trust, was created and Dowie had no right to treat the property as his own. The court refused to appoint Alex ander Granger receiver for the reason that Granger made a vow recognizing Dowie as "a messenger of the cov enant, the prophet foretold by Moses and Elijah the Restorer," to which vow "all family ties and obligations and all relations to human govern ments shall be held subordinate." The court said he was not obliged to re pose confidence in a man so consti tuted that, living in this republic, he would serenely vow his readiness at all times to abandon his family and betray his country. Orders Electii The_coLirJ order? tn third Tuesday of September of a gen eral overseer, all members of the church residing in Zion City, male and female, to have one vote.

His bonds were placed at $25,000. The adjudication in the bankruptcy pro ceedings against Dowie was set aside. The effect of the decision is ta place the industrial affairs of Zion City in the hands of the..court,- through the agency of Mr. Hately, while the church's spiritual matters will come under the supervision of the overseer to be elected in September. Claims against Dowie are now claims against the receiver. Mr. Hately is a member of the board of trade, a capitalist and is active in charitable and reform move ments. DOWIE'8 SPOKESMAN TALKS. Maintains That God Alone Can Choose First Apostle. Zion City, 111., July 28.Deacon John A. Lewis, recognized as the spokes man of Dowie and who was chosen by him to manage the Paradise plan tation of Mexico, the rock over which It is alleged the Dowie and Voliva partisans split, had the following to say of the decision: "If the decree of Judge Landis stands the Christian Catholic Apostolic church of Zion is uprooted. The church is founded on the theory of theocracy and how then can an elec tion under the laws of Cook county, 111., proclaim who shall be leader of the hosts. I maintain that God Al mighty alone can designate who shall be the first apostle. I firmly believe that the Lord has designated John Alexander Dowie to lead the hosts to the paths of light. Therefore, when a special election is called the whole fabric of the church is destroyed. If Goid designates the leader how can man choose him? "As far as property rights are con cerned they matter little to us, the great question is that of spiritual con trol, upon that the very foundation of the church depends. I am sure Dr. Dowie will never be satisfied with the decision as rendered." UNDER THE EIGHT-HOUR LAW. First Prosecution in District of Colum bia Begun.
