Since the advemt of John Alexander Dowie in Chicago many -cases of this na- ture have been brought to the notice of the' clty authorities, but no definite action has ever been taken. until today, when prayer instead of medicine was being used in the treatment of Mrs. Ella Turner, who' is a believer in Dowie’'s teachings. The woman had been suffering for more than twenty-four hours and her life was in imminent peril, as her condition called for an immediate operation. Instead of calling a physician the woman's husband and relatives appealed to Overseer Voliva of Zion City, ‘who sent one of his deacons to pray” for ‘her, The ‘woman's pain increased so much that her cries attracted the attention of a neighbor, who reported the case to the po- lice. The police at once placed the matter in the hands of the health department, and it ‘was referred to Corporation Coun- sel Lewis, who expressed the oplmion that the health department-was justified in interfering in such extreme cases. A physiclan was at once sent to attend .the woman and her suffering was stopped. —————— I RESOLUTION OF INQUIRY ADOPTED BY THE HOUSE Asks for - Information as ‘to Whether Rallroad Merger Promoters Were Prosecuted.

T0 BACK DOWN Government Loses in Suit to Regain Eleven Thousand Acres of Mogxt'ana Land SUPREME COURT DECIDES —— Federal Contention Based on the Allegation That AreaWas Secured by Fraud e WASHINGTON, March 5—United States Scnator Clark of Montana today won the case against him in the Su- preme Court of the United States, in which the Government sought to have canceled patents to 11,400 acres of public lands in Mentana which were alleged to havé been frdudulently se- cured. The opinion in the case was de- ljvered by Justice Holmes, and upheld the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Justices Harlan and Brown dissented. E . ‘This was a civil proceeding instituted by the Government against Senator Clark of Montana to secure the cancel- lation of the patents to land issued un- der the timber and stone act. The charges made by the Government in its bill of complaint were that the patents were fraudulently secured, and it was further set forth that about eighty of the patentees are now under indictment in the Montana courts. It was asserted that Senator Clark had entered into a contract to purchase the land before the ;patents were granted and that he had known, or had good reason to know, that the proceeding was fraudu- lent. The Government charged that Clark was not a bona fide purchaser, but the courts below, including the Court of Appeals, took the contrary view, hold- ing that the issuance of patents had the effect of converting his purchase of an equity into a purchase of title. The printed record in the case covered 7000 pages. In kis opinion Justice Holmes said: The United States is trying to upset a legal title.” In order to do that, it must charge Clark with notice of the original frauds. The fact that Clark, while he has a merely equita- ble or persongl claim against the Government, held it subject to any defect which it might have whether he knew it or not, was not’ equivalent to notice of the defect. It is recognized in the act of March 3, 1001, that there may be a bona fide purchaser before the patent issues. The title, when conveyed, re- lated back to the date of the original entries. Therefore actual notice must ' proved. But so far as actual knowledge or motice on the part of Clark is concerned, both the courts below found in explicit terms that the proof failed. We perceive no sufficlent reason for departing from the rule that except in a few clear cases where both courts have concurred we do not disturb their findings of fact. There 1s rothing sufficient to show that Clark had actual knowledge of the arrangement by which Cobban (the man through whom Clark made his purchase) got the lands. GREAT MANITOU SUMMONS AN . INDIAN CHIEF RENO, March 5—Captain = Joe, the chief of the Washoe Indians, died at Carson ,City yesterday afternoon at the age of 6 years.
