PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 6. — Dissatisfied members of the church of John Alexander the self-styled Elijah II, are coming to Oregon to found a new com- munity. Seven former followers of the “Prophet” were in Portland last week seeking a location. They are men of | who expect to secure about 5000 acres of land and to bring from Zion | y, IlL., about 150 families. The creed of Dowie has been revised, | but not to the liking of all Zionists, and there 1s friction in the *“City of the Righteousness.” The dissatisficd ones de- | clare that Elijah has failed to make good | , and they are through with him and his rule. Here in the Northwest they expect to establish a new colony, in which any good Christian may reside so long as he observes the laws.of the place. It is to be a new Zion, a reformation of Dowieism, the following out of the orig- inal representations of Chicago's “Eman- cipator of the sinner slaves.” Dowie knows nothing of the plans of | the colonists, say their representatives; | but on the other hand, they declare he would be pleased to rid himself of his op- ponents, as he holds that all not for the his promis P. L. Rogers, a building contractor, leads the party. With him were W. J. McCann, John Loud, Charles Brown, Alexander Reside, I. K. Miller and H. A Steek.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 6.—During an ad- dress before the general committee of pal church to-day Bishop Fowler said that the Methodist church ought to pay more attention to the extension of its vork in Utah and the Southwest, where he Mormons have churches, and endeav- or to convert as many people as possible to Methodism in order to offset the power of the Mormon church. Bishop Fowler predicted that the Mor- ons in a few years would have a d mnig, New Mexico, Colorado and Nevada, and that the question would present a phase more serious than did slavery half a century 3go. “Conditions in Utah, with the probable of Ogden, are most unsatisfac- tory,” said the Bishop. “As far as I can see, there are two factions fo blame. First, ourselves, as the committee of church extension, and, second, the general committee of the missionary society. The pittance given Utah has been so small that the superintendents have been com- pelled to pick up ‘two by four’ men to go! into that field.” Bishop Fowler's statement was brought | out during the discussion of the amount of monev that should be authorized by the Methodist church for the extension of its work in Utah. He followed Bishop Cranston, who said that the church had practically failed in its work in Utah be- cause of the need of money. The Dev. Dr. T. C. Iliff, now a fleld sec- retary, but for twenty-five years superin- tendent of the Utah misslon, supported Bishop Fowler's plea for Iiberal appro- priation, but resented the insinuation of inefficiency of the workers in that fleld. No change was made in last year's ap- propriation for Utah. ——————— OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF 'THE PACIFIC COAST Changes Made in the Postal Service and Orders for the Navy Issued.

After Mr. Bryan had conferred with his lawyers he made a | statement as follows: | “The decision of Judge Cleveland in the Bennett will case is in my favor on| y the heirs law | and against points only. t no un- | due influence was exercised on Mr. Ben-| nett and that no injustice was done (o the relatives.

The sen- tence was passed on the charge of ex: | torting $500 from the Tiffany Studios. | It was alleged that Parks as walking | delegate of the Housesmiths’ and Bridge- men’s Union forced the Tiffany Studios | to pay him $500 to call off a strike. This | was Parks’ second sentence for extor-| tion. He was released from Sing Sing on certiflcate of reasonable doubt after his first sentence. In imposing sentence to- day Judge Newburger said he took into consideration the physical condition of Parks, who is said by physicians to be suffering from consumption in an ad- vanced stage. Parks, whose customary air of deflance has entirely deserted him, heard the sen- tence without a movement of feature or outward suggestion of emotion. Former District -Attorney James W. Osborne, Parks’ counsel, sald that he would in all probability appeal, but that no certificate of reasonable doubt would be applied for. Sam Parks was taken to Sing Sing Prison this afternoon. —_————— BIG COAL STRIKE MAY BE AVERTED Outlook That Operators and Em- ployes in Colorado May Come to Terms.

Mutual concessions were made, and the only thing at issue now is the question of an eight-hour day.

When her room was visited about 2 o'clock this morning by one of them she was found on the bed, where she had crawled after the murderous assault. The weapon was a flve-pound stone tied up in a handkerchief. The fact that she had tied a towel about her head, instead of giving an alarm, gives color to the theory that the crime was comitted by some one whom she wished to shield. ————— Prefers Death to the Hospital.

RS rzw Special Dispatch to The Call. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 6.—With only % cents in his pocket, Charles G. Goven, who embezzled $25,000 from the Botsford Provision Company of Chicago two years ago, yvesterday surrendered himself to Willlam A. Pinkerton, the well known de- | tective. Pinkerton was a guest at the | | Hotel Portland and Goven also was stay- ing at the house. “I'm tired of wandering around. sick of this, and I am willing to | back to Chicago,” declared Goven. *“I | just saw you sitting here and I said to myself that the best thing I could do was to surrender to you.and tell you who I was. I'm about out of money.” Since Goven left Chicago two years ago he has been In almost every part of | North America. For a time he took part |in a revolution in Nicaragua. Then the homesick feeling forced him back to the neighborhood of Chicago. The fear of detectlon and arrest drove him westward and his next uopplng place was Butte, Mont. Gradually running short of funds, Goven still made a great attempt to keep up ap- pearances. He took a room at the Hotel Portland on the European plan. He paid for it with his last few dollars. Then he saw Pinkerton and decided to end it all and face his former employers. Pinkerton did not know if the Botsford Provision Company wished his arrest at present but wired to find out. Chief O'Nelll of Chicago telegraphed the Portland police to arrest C. C. Goven on a charge of embezzlement. So Detectives Day and Weiner took the Chicago man in charge yesterday afternoon. His at- tire was impeccable, his manner was ele- gant, but the man wanted for the embez- zlement of $25,000 had but a two-bit piece in his pocket. When the question of a route to Chicago was brought up Goven at once requested that he go by way of San Francisco that he might see his wife, who is seriously ill. He will probably be humored. el e Enjoyed Confidence of His Employers. CHICAGO, Nov. .—Goven, Wwhile in this city, was connected with the Provision Dealers’ Dispatch Company and was also private secretary to Henry Botsford, a Wealthy business man. He had the entire confidence of his employers and large sums of money passed through his hands, He disappeared one day and an exam- ination of his accounts revealed a short- age of about $25,000.
