Seven Weeks Since Case First
Called In Court and
Expense Great.
.
- New Tork. March 9. The state
ment credited yesterday to Howard
Nesblt, to the effect that the Countew
of Yarmouts hoped to bring about a
separation between Thaw and Wi
wife, was denied today by Mrs. Geo.
L. Carnegie, one of Thaw's slaters,
who said that none of the family de
sired either divorce or separation, and
that Thaw would not consent If they
did.
EVIDENTLY INSPIRED BY
PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.
New York, March 9. When the
Thaw trial shall be resumed Monday
It will be five weeks since the actual
hearing of testimony began, and
seven elncethe case was first call J
In court. The expense to both the
state and defense has been very heavy
particularly to the defense. As an Il
lustration, it may be mentioned that
Or. Evans, the principal alienist. Is
reported to be receiving $200 a day;
Dr. Wagner, $150, and Drs. Ham
mond and JelUITe, $100 each.
In Just what order the witnesses
for the prosecution will be called has
not fully been decided upon. Ths
Tombs physician, Dr. McQuire, who
has maintained almost constant sur
veillance over the prisoner during his
confinement; Drs. Flint, McDonald
and Mahon, alienists; F. A. Longfel
low, who was Thaw's confidential
counsel; May MacKenzle and Mrs. C.
K. Caine, friends of Mrs. Thaw, and
probably Abe Hummell, Howard Nes
blt and Charles Hartnutt, are expect
ed to be called. Hartnutt was for
years the confidential secretary to
White.
Evelyn Thaw has also been sub
poenaed, and besides being question
ed about letters of White, she may
be confronted by the testimony of her
brother and asked to explain how she
forgot posing for certain photograph
ers and a staute, which are said to be
matters not so convenient as those
she spoke of in her previous testi
mony. dublin audience hisses
"playboy of the west."
Dublin, March 9. Extraordinary
scenes were witnessed recently in the
Abbey theatre, Dublin, which Is solely
devoted to the production of plays
dealing with Irish lifo and character.
In a new piece named "Playboy of
the West," which was produced In
the Abbey theatre last night, one of
the characters is a self-accused par
ricide, who is made lovo to by a num
ber of young Irish peasant girls.
Soon after the curtain was raised
hisses were heard, and a little later
the crowded pit rose to a man, and
the uproar for a time was deafening.
The orchestra began to play, but the
music was drowned In the singing of
Irish songs and cheers for "the men
of the west." After a time a dozen
policemen entereu and took up a
position on ithe left of the pit, while
a large force remained outside the
principal entrance. An attempt was
made to resume the play, which pro
ceeded amidst boohing and hissing of
the entire audience, not a sylable of
the play could be heard.

Dowie Is dead. I
After Five Weeks.
John Alexander Dowie died at 7:40
this morning at Shlloh house, Zlon
City. There were present only Judge
J. N. Barnes and two personal at
tendants. Dowie had been falllag
for the past five weeks and during
that time he had not appeared :n
public. Friday he received a few
of his followers and seemed In abou".
the same condition as for two weeks.
Shortly before 1 o'clock this morn
ing he became delirious and his talk
was the same as at religious meet
ings tn the days of his prime. Grad
ually he became weaker and the at
tendants' phoned for Judge Barnes,
who arrived at 7 o'clock. Forty
minutes later Dowie was dead. No
arrangements have been made for the
funeral.
Sketch of Ills Life.
Dowie was born In Edinburgh,
Scotland, May 25, 1847. In 1860 his
parents moved to Adelaide, Australia,
where for seven years the youth was
a clerk In a business house. He
saved enough money to return tj
Edinburgh at the age of 20, td take
five years' course In theology and
arts. Six years of denominational
activity weTled Dowie and in 187$
he went to Melbourne, where he set
up the Free Christian Tabernacle, tha
first of Its kind, and organized the Di
vine Healing association, which aft
erwards became international in its
character. He became president of
the association and gained fame by
going into the country during the
prevalence of putrid fever and ap
parently effecting many cures by
prayer and laying on of hands.
He arrived In San Francisco In
1888 and in 1890 removed to Chicago,
which was the seat of his great work.
During the next live years he was ar
rested at least 100 times for violat
ing the city ordinances relating to the
care of the sick, but he gained in
popularity constantly.
The Christian Catholic church 'n
Zlon City was formally organized In
February, 1896, Dowie becoming the
general overseer. Four years later,
before a large audience, he an
nounced that he was Elijah, the re
storer, spoken of in Malachl.
Previous to this time he marked
out his plan for Zlon City, the crown
ing effort of his life. In August,
1901. the first building was erected
In Zion City, which a year later had A

the speculation that is going on the
country over as to his intentions.
The oil king Is here to cheer with
his presence his daughter, Mrs. Mc
Cormiek, who has been ill ever since
the birth of her last daughter. Hlie

JOHN ALEXANDER DOWIE
OTTO PRICK OFFERS SOLUTION
10 SERVANT PROBLEM
. , i ,t A- .
Novelty in Housekeeping---Co-Oper-
ative Kitchen and Serving Staff Re
lieves Housekeepers From
All Annoyances.
New York, March. 9. Otto Flck,
founder of a scrvantlcss housekeeping
plan which he re-demonstrated by an
establishment of his own In Copen
hagen, In Stockholm and In London,
arrived Wednesday on the steamship
United States to investigate and as
certain if New York city would not
take kindly to the idea.
The method differs essentially from
that of the family hotel and Is some
thing on the lines that might be rep
resented by a large flat house, with a
co-operative kitchen and servants In
common. The municipality of Co
penhagen was so Interested in the
scheme that it underwrote it to the
extent of advancing $25,000 on mort
gage. There are rooms for twenty-five
families in the houses which have
been built under Mr. Fick's direction,
and they are so constructed that each
household is entirely separated. The
j administration department provides
inres inraia u any wnnoui causing
the family any more annoyance than
Is required in ringing a bell.
No cook is required. The meals
population of 10,000. In Zion City
as well as in Chicago Dowie was su
preme. The title of the 6.000 acres
bought with the money of the sect
rested In him. Lots were leased,
not sold.
In December, 1903. Zion Cltv was
placed under the control of a federal i
receivership, w hich was dissolved a ,
week later on Dowle's showing his '
ability to pay dollar for dollar on ail
indebtedness. At this time Dowie
estimated his holdings at $25,000,- '
0U0.
Righteen months later Dowie be- !
gan the promotion of a second Zion I
City, to be located In Mexico. While !
ensuged in this undertuking hi
health failed and he went to Jamaica
for his health.
Uetraycd by Vollvu.
While there he suffered a stroke of
paralysU, from which he never fully
recovered. it was at this time that
he appointed Wilbur Glenn Voliva as
his tlr.st lieutenant and general over
seer of the church. Voliva, by a
power of attorney vested in him by
Dowie, had all the property belonging
to the church transferred from
Dowie to the overseer, charging ex
travagance and gross mismanagement
by Dowie. He also called a meeting
of all Zionists and denounced Duwia. I
With the exception of less than 200 of !
Howie's former followers, all the i i
habltants of the city chose Voliva as 1
their future leader and sent word to '
liuwle that he had been deposed, i
Dowie Immediately returned and took j
the coltroversy to the courts for set
tlement. I'KRIORMAXCK 1 OK

Iioston, Mass., March 9. The per
formance for the benefit of the Mor
gan memorial which took place to
day was highly successful. The
Methodists and Unitarians of the city
Joined in the project and the church,
with Its diversitied branches, such as
a co-operative store, shoe shop, car
pet weaving factory, day nursery,
musieal and social clubs make It quite
unlike any oilier institution In the
country. The fact that It is carried
on by thexe two denominations gives
it a peculiar interest und the an
nouncement of a public entertain
ment met with ix very ready response.

come up on the dumb waiter and can
mere be lifted off directly into the
dining room.
Indeed the whole scheme Is devised
so that persons of moderate means
can be absolutely free from the ser
vant problem. Tennants In leasing
apartments in the buildinlg must file
a list of things which they do not
like to eat or drink, and In preparing
thalr imeals individual dislikes are
taken into account and they will
never get anything which they have
tabooed.
They cannot, according to Mr. Flck,
expect to order on their own initia
tive. Part of the charm of the
scheme Is a state of prandial expec
tancy. In the Flck dwelling the central
plant washes the dishes, makes the
beds, cleans the rooms with the
vacuum process, dusts, sets things to
rights, washes the windows, blacks
the shoes, presses the trousers and at
tends to the family washing. There
are no rooms In common, as there
are in family hotels, except the
kitchen. The house servants have
quarters next to the roof.

Claims Dunne Had Contracted
to Practically Pack the

San Francisco. March t. Abraham
Ruef, who was brought into custody
last night by Court Elisor J. W.
Biggs, assisted by Detective Burns, of
the district attorney's office, and whl
is being neld under arrest at a hotel,
will not be brought into Superior
Judge Dunne's court for trial until
Monday morning. It is an tlcl Dated
by the prosecution that Ruef'a attor
neys will today apply to one of the
higher courts for a writ of habeas
corpus. The state supreme court
has not yet rendered & decision in
the application of Ruef's counsel for
a writ of prohibition restraining
Dunne from proceeding with the
trial. An identical writ was denied
by the district court of appeals.
Ruef has Issued a statement in
which he says: "When the case end
ed in Judge Hubbard's court last
Monday, and by writ of error .was put
Into the Supreme court of the United
States, knowing that Judge Dunne
had no further jurisdiction of pro
ceedings, I thought I would take a
rest for three or four days. It was
never my intention to evade any
process of court or to escape the jur
isdiction of the court or leave the
city. My reason for taking the case
to the supreme court of the United
States was that I was advised that
Dunne had practically contracted to
pack the jury in the case which was
to be heard before him. I am will
ing to be tried upon this infamous
charge, of which I am not guilty, but
I want a fair judge and a fair jury."

FILIBUSTERED
AGAINST THE RAILROAD
BILL
Republican Organization Forces Carried
the House With a Hoop Despite All
Talk and Dilatory Tactics.
ANTI-ORGANIZATION PEOPLE
Same Is Trao of AnU-Gambllng
Appropriations For Institutions.
Which They Oppose.
8anU P. N. M., March 9. The 1
cent rate bill introduced in the house
late yesterday afternoon by Mr. Qal
legos, passed that body by a vote of
18 ayea to $ nays, 1 absent, and one
not voting. It precipitated the hottest
tight of the present legislative ses
sion and demonstrated what a min
ority composed of able men, learned
In the ways of parliamentary law,
could do by determined opposition to
the passage of any measure.
The fight began on the motion of
Mr. Qallegos to suspend the rules in
order that the bill might be read the
third time preparatory to Its passage.
Mr. Holt, who lead the minority In
the fight against the bill, amended
the motion by moving to refer it to
the committee on railroads.
A roll call was demanded. Mr.
Abbott of Santa Fe was one of the
strongest members of the fighting
minority and contested this bill to the
last ditch, making a strong plea for
fair play in the consideration of the
bill, declaring that it should be fully
discussed before any action upon It
was taken, as It was of paramount
importance to tne tertitoiy.
Mr. Qallegos said that the bill wan
very similar to house bill No. 18,
which had been for sometime before
the committee on railroads. ,
Mr. Hudspeth said he was tha au
thor of house bill No. 16 and that he
had despaired of ever having any re
port from the committee and favored
the passage of Mr. Oallegos' bill.
Mr. Beach, chairman of the com
mittee on railroads, asked Hudspeth
why he had not come before that
committee and explained why the ter
ritory should enact a three-cent fare
law. He moreover said that no ef
fort had ever been made on the part
of Mr. Hudspeth or anyone else to
have any action taken on the bill.
Mr, Ruppe was in favor of the 8
cent fare and said ht had been pa
tiently waiting for some such legisla
tion. Mr. Ituppe was called to order,
Mr. Holt stating that by the rules of
the house no member was to be al
lowed more than one minute to ex
plain his vote and Mr. Ruppe had
used more than one minute. Later Mr.
Holt stated that he found that the
rules allowed, five minutes for a mem
ber to explain his vote, and Mr. Rup
pe then wanted the remaining four
minutes of his time, which caused a
general laugh.
Mr. Studley said the Interstate
Commerce commission was the only
body to which the bill should be re
ferred and stated that the legislature
hadn't the right to enact a law pro
viding for a 3-cent rate or any other
rate.
The motion to refer the bill was lost
by a vote of six ayes, namely Ab
bott of Santa Fe, Reach, Abbott of
Colfax, Holt, Studley and Baca; to 17
nays.
The minority being unable by its
vote to accomplish anything, confined
its line of battle to an effort to delny
the measure as long as possible by
talking and forcing an adjournment.
The word had been passed among the
majority members that the bill was
to be passed If they had to remain In
their seats all night. Kach member
of the minority consumed every min
ute of time allowed him by the speak
er in explaining his vote. As a result
the passage of the bill was delayed
from 4 o'clock until 7 o'clock, when It
finally passed.

The republican organization intro

railway bill In the house. It was en
tirely an organization measure. If
It shall be defeated in the council it
will be by the anti-organization mem
bers of that body. Some of the or

measure in the house, but the entire
anti-organization force In that house
were against It. It Is understood that
the same anti-organization forces will
try to defeat It In the council.
The republican organization forcea
Introduced and passed the anti-gambling

to the antl-organlzatlon forcea In the
