DR. DOWIE ABUSES
AND PEOPLE LEAVE
(By Associated Press.)
NEW TORE. Oct. 10.? When Dr.
Dowle opened his night meeting in Mad?
ison Square Garden, he faced an Im?
mense throng, when he closed it, h's
audience had dwindled to only a few
hundred persons besides the "Host," he
brought with him from tho West. He
fretted, fumed, threatened, cajoled and
finally resorted to the use of epithets,
his hearers meanwhile leaving th?; meet?
ing several hundred together, drowning
the sound of his voice.
He had nnnouncc-d that to-night he
would tell how It was revealed to h'm
that he was "El'jah," and also tKat he
would have something to say to the
newspapers ?md their representatives.
His talk, which was interspersed with
several hymns, at times wh'-n the tramp
of those leaving the hall was more than
his voice could overcome, was devo'ed
: chiefly to denunciation of tobacco smok?
ers, liquor drinkers and newspaper men.
Twelve companies of the Zion Hosts,
numbering seventy persons each, engaged
, In tlie house to house canvass of the
; city. To-day they visited Manhat
i tan only. Dr. Dowle. accompanied
I by Mrs. Dowle. his son and Dea
? con W. P. Kindle; called on Mayor
Low at the City Hall and told th?? Mayor
that his people had respect for New
? York and admired the Mayor for what
he had done, lie thanked the Mayor for
! pollceT?r-ftect!on, and. receiving assurance
of th? .Mayor's pleasuro, departed'with
the y.inn salme. 'Peace be unto the??,
brother" to which the Mayor responded,
"Thank you. sir." ,

^tate Committ.ee Will Konder

"The committee never gnvc more care?
ful consideration to any case than that
of the treasiirotHlilp of Henrlco county.
Wo heard all the evidence and the argu?
ment of counsel, nnd after the most
painstaking review, cimo to the unani?
mous conclusion that Mr. Brauer was ,?p
? 11 ti eil to thn nomination. The commit?
tee having so decided, I shall give tho
fullest support to Air. Brauer, and would
'call upon all the Democrats of Henrlco
to glvu'Mr. Btauer their rot dial and
! hearty support In his? contest for tho
, tronsurership."-"Statement made hist
night by Chairman l?llysoti, outlining
. the policy of the strate Democratic Com*
1 mitico In the tlenrlco campaign now In
: progress.
Information obtained last night leads
lo tho belief that important develop
| merits to come to-day and to-morrow
will still further accentuate tho political
disturbances In Henrlco county. The
coil nella that control the policy of thoi
Brauer camp arc at work upon several
matters requiring h vast amount of
secrecy* nnd the political wiseacres, with
their bends In a bunch, declare between
whispers, that Inside of twenty-four
hours they will send a bombshell at the
breastworks of ? lie enemy.
Of the matters pending, none Is more
interesting or Important than an active
entrance by the State Central Commit- I
tee upon the Held, t'p to this limo the I
committee has been looking on from the I
distance and sizing up the sltuntlon;
now It is prepared to act, and before !
many days It will take the llrst step.
The movement Is already on, and. as the I
result of further action to bo taken to?
day. It will bo In full swing by to-mor?
row. The State Committee will come
forth strongly and actively, girdled for
a vigorous and determined light in j
support of the man it has recognized as
the nominee and to quoll all Insubordina?
tion Within the party lines.
"You may quote mo as saying that Ihe
Plate Committee will give to Mr. Brauer
Its strong and active support." yesterday
said Colonel Joseph Button, secretary of
the committee. Colon.-1 Button was not
at that time In a position to Indicate
.lust, what form this support would take,
but ft was gathered from other sources
that the committee will -probably put
several prominent party speakers In the
field f"- Mr. Brauer, and may also Issue
tin address to the Democrats of the
county.
Di'trxt Con mitt ?>" Tc-Dav.
It was reported last night that the
District Democratic Committee of this
district will meet to-day to take some I
action in the Henrlco matter. The report ;
could not be verified, since no member j
of the District Commitf>o could bo reach
ed; Tho body is composed of the follow
hitr gentlemen? Messrs. John Lynch and
John P. Harwood. of Richmond; Mr.
E. li. "Winston, of Hanover: Mr. John C.
Kasley, of Henrlco. and Mr. Philip V.
Coc-hwI. of Chesterfield.
Just what the committee Is expected to
do cannot bo said. The report was to the
effect that it would probably suggest
to Chairman BUyson the ? propriety of
having a new county committee in Hen?
rlco?one that would be obedient to the
party laws. Mr. Fllvson said last niirht
that the matter had not yet boon brought
to his attention, and that he could not.
therefore, sny what attitude he would
assume with re-forenoo to tho proposed
new committee. He thon made (he very
Interestinc and Important announcement
quoted above, thereby riving an official
statement of the polley of the State body.
The Brauer members, on the old com?
mittee are prepared to organize them?
selves into a new body nnd to fill up the
vacancies ns soon as tb?*y receive the
sanction and endorsement of the State
Committee. if Brauer Is elected they
??<? ..~,.??,-,?,?.. nrr-n^Wf. t new committee
anyhow: if the State Com-nUtee nt this
time indicates that It would look with
favor upon tho move, they will do so
nt once.
?-"ot Fl^M Comi-tr.
Yiig indications arc ar.pearinc of a gen?
eral breaking Ioo^e w'tuln a few d^ys.
The Todd forces are bestirr'rg th-un rl"e<i
actively and tho Brauer camp is simply
alive with excitement.
Plans are at th's moment being made
for a Brauer meet'ng in every nr?clnct
in the count ? verv sO'>n. A crnim ttee
ha?: been appointed for each prec'net and
the arrangements win be made by the
local chairmen. The flrt meet --g will be
held before many days have clip ed.
The speaking at these meeting will
be Of tho verv liveliest and some stirrleg
times are exoected. The ll't of speakers
has not vet been deflrlfly arrangrd; but
as stated above. STno very t>r m nent
Democrats are cxp-ct'd to arpear for Mr.
Brauer. Among the local men who may

FOR GOOD OF
HOMEGUARD
A ?Meeting of Cfflcors and Ex?
Officers Held.
The meeting lust night of commis?
sioned officers, former commissioned of?
ficers, unii cillions, held at the regi?
mental armory for the purpose of taking
steps which will lend to Increased pub?
lic. Interest in tho State Gunrd, wns at?
tended by men who are In onrncst.
Without doubt milch good Is to conn:
from these gatherings.
Colonel George Wayne Anderson enll
cd the body to order In the room of thn
ohi niellinomi Grays. In Ihe regimental
armory. Mo outlined brlelly why thosrt
present and Others had been Invited and
suggested Colonel Sol Cutc.hltis as the
permanent chairman. Colohel Cu toh Ina
was unanimously chosen and Captain
t!. N. Sklpwlth was appointed secretary
by the Choir, and also asked to state
explicitly the object hoped to bo accom?
plished by these meeting?. Cnptnlli
Sklpwlth said that the .Indifference of
ninny of the people towards the mili?
tary and the outspoken and determined
opposition of ninny others, particularly
employer?? of young men and the labor
organizations, were matters of common
observation. People did not seem to
realize that iv military force was or
might be necessary for tho enforcement
of the Tnwp by the courts, and for the
protection of the property of the people
when occasion should arise, but many
seemed to think that the cotnpntiles
were just clubs and tho militili a play- j
thing that might disappear altogether !
and no one be tho worse for It. The re- !
suit was that it was difficult to get
young men to till the ronks'Of the com?
panies, and it coulil not he done suc?
cessfully until there wus a strong pul ? ?
sentiment behind the service. It was to
devise some mentis of bringing the pub
Ilo to the point of giving this support
that former officers nnd citizens had
been called In.
SUGGESTIONS MADE.
Gentlemen wero asked to make sug?
gestions. Colonel M. L. Spotswood snld
that he thought the change of the name
of the regiment from the First to the
Seventieth had had the effect of estrang?
ing some. The people at large, also, ?]!?1
realize tho actual necessity of the State'H
having military organizations. He
thought the Chamber of Commerce and
tho newspapers should take the matter
up. the latter through their edltioral
columns. Colonel G. Percy Howes was
also of the opinion that, the change of
name had estranged some,
Colonel Cutehlns said he thought gone
ral conditions had something to do with
tho lack of interest in the. military'? En?
tertainments of various kinds kept tho
m'nds of many away from matters of
tho sterner sort.
Captain Beaoregard Lorraine said he
wus confident tho people did not reallto
tho Importance of the military.
Colonel Anderson declared that two
necxls of the State militia was a lorg
rifle range for practice in shooting and
State encampments. All northern ?State,
guards, pretty much, bad these. Colonel
Stern said that the men did not apne'ir
In un'form with that neatness of person
which characterized them In citizens'
dress, fie had suggested a number of
Improvements which would be found In
his report.
COMMITTEES APPOINTED.
AS a result of these intercstlne state
i rr.ents, but briefest report of which Is
i given, a resolution was adop'cd armoiri
' ing Colonel John B. Purcell, Major L. T.
Christian and Captain Sklpwlth ? com?
mittee to go before the Chamber of Com?
merce and eet the old of that body, and
to ask the newspapers from time to time,
to bring the cause of the military before
th? people. A committee was also ap?
pointed, with Cantaln Lorraine as chair?
man. Jo bring about, the organlzr-'on of
the officers and ex-officers for tho pur?
pose of helping the militia.
Lieutenant Hardy stated that he. hod
heen requested to express the regret of
tho Governor at not being able to bo
present, he having been called awuy.
General Nolle also sent regrets not hav?
ing returned from his homif In Culpeper.
