The three officers hurried through thei crowd, and, gaining the base of the statue, Ryan reached up, seized the flag and pulled it from where it had been tied.

PRI TP TEXANS STAND BY DOWIE. h Deposed First Apostle Addresses =a Gathering in San Antomio. SAN ANTONIO, April 8.—Dr. Dowie and his party left tonight shortly be- fore 8 o'clock for St. Louls. The train was delayed at San Antonio and this was taken advantage of by the local Zionites, who arranged for a meeting, at which Dr. Dowie spoke. Previous to | the coming of Dowie, L. C. Hall, pastor of the lecal Zionist church, made a vig- orous address, in which he defended Dofvie at every point® Preacher Hall | made thé statement that every man and woman angd child in Texas who was connected with the Zionist movement indorsed everything that the “first | apostle” had done, and believed thor- oughly in his innocence. When Dowie entered the hall the audience arose and sang a hymn of praise. He walked down the center aisle, bowing and uttering “God be with the For ten minutes Dowie and | the audience prgyed together to banish | the devil from\Zion. Then Dowie told his story to the ex- pectant people. His entire address was centered about the subjects of polyg- amy and the conduct of his wife. The audience was with him in all that he said, even when he bitterly disparaged Mrs. Dowie. A dramatic incident occurred after Dowie had been speakigg about twenty minutes, when Mrs. Emma Rapp and | her husband arose and faced the apos- 'lle The eudience craned their necks forward in tense excitement. “Have you anything to say, sister?” £aid the pastor. of years,” sald the woman, “and I want to tell these people here that never was there a kinder husband or a better Christian gentleman., I want to say, | also, that when your every act was one ‘or kindness and consideration to Mrs. | Dowle, she made life insufferable for | you by her insane jealousy and fiend- ish perversity. I often wondered how you could be 80 kind under the condi- tions that existed. I make this state- ment of my own free will because God has told me to speak.” Dowie closed with an appropriate peroration, in which he declared that, so long as breath remained in his body, he would fight for the rehabilitation of Zion. “I have not long to live,” cluded, “but I pray that God may spare | me just long enough to win this mu' he con- is club right| “I lived in your house for a number : e corner and this gave the police an op- portunity. Following in it's wake and where the crowd could not interrupt their passage, they reached the next stopping place at the corner. Quickly Ryan got hi: man aboard and shouted to the motor- man to rush ahead. Before this order could be obeyed the angered rioters realized that their game was gone. Quickly they made another attack. A building in course of construction and j&bout which were scattered bricks, terra cotta apd other debris, furnished what the rioters were looking for. Instantly a volley of bricks, scraps of iron fand blocks of wood struck the vehicle and a crash of glass followed. Terrified pas- sengers fell to the floor and those who | Were on the outside jumped to the street in an effort to escape. Several people were struck and Ryan himself felt the {force of a missile, The motorman man- fully stuck to his post, despite the threats {of the crowd, and forced those ahead of {him on the track to leave his path. | | Cavanagh ana Stelzner kept in the waks of the car, as its speed was slow, and | endeavored to beat back the immense mob that followed. CAR ATTACKED BY RIOTERS. Before Post street was reached the motorman succeeded in increasing his able to leave the crowd. His orders were to stop at no stations until he reached the Hall of Justice. And so, with his car in which nearly every win dow of woodwork broken, he sped along with the manacled orator. Cavanagh and Stelzner were left to ! the mercy of the maddened crowd. The | latter, cheated of their.leader, lost no time in attacking the officers. These two men, liam Doran and Harry Seguine, fought | a fierce battle for nearly ten minutes. Time after time the policemen were struck by bricks and went down, but they stayed In the fight and used their clubs in every direction. No mercy was shown by either side in the combat and it looked for a time as if the polices men would have to resort to the use of their weapons. This fortunately did not occur, and, although torn and | bloody, they fought like demons. l News quickly reached the Central po- lice station of what was going on and| )Solgeanl Lional Shaw, In charge, imme- | diately sent out a riot alarm to all the | stations fn the vicinity. This action brought many more blue coats and when | | they pitched into the fracas order was somewhat restored. The scene of trouble was then transferred back to Lotta's Fountain. Most of the mob had started to return and another attack was planned | upon the police, who, by this time, num- | bered nearly tkirty, and started to ‘dis- perse the crowd. MOB IS HARD TO SUBDUE. The presence of the police seemed to have no effect upon the rioters. Again and again they rushed forward, casting 1br1cks and striking at the policemen, | hurling epithets at them and cursing | them for .their action. Again and again the police repulsed their.assailants and carted off wagon after wagon load to jail. Jeers were heard at evéry hand and each time an arrest was made an effort would follow to release the prisoner. The polices were fortunate and, with the exception of two men who were on the statue and who were arrested during the [ st trouble by Cavanagh and Stelzner, not a prisoner was lost. The two latter men were obliged to sacrifice their pris- oners in order to assist Ryan with Holmes to the car. It was nearly an hour before the police succeeded in restoring quiet and clearing the streets. By this time.they had ar- rested the following for disturbing the peace: Robert Miller, teamster; Alfred Kitchiner, laborer; Clyde Fonda, boiler- maker; John Klingkamer, butcher; An- drew Schumacker, butcher; George 8. Holmes, metal worker; Charles Xelly, metal worker; William Connelly, cement worker; Albert Krshak, laborer; John Plerson, tailor; Willlam McDevitt, edi- tor; Harry L. Sully, student, and Thomas ‘Wardlow, schoolboy. ‘William Meyers, a laborer; Ben Mich- aels, a showman, and Rudolph Weiger, a laborer, were arrested on a charge of as- saut with a deadly weapon, and John Rubanik and George M. Powers were ar- rested on a charge of obstructing the side- walk. The three former, it i{s charged, are three of the crowd that threw stones and injured the policemen. All the men, with the exception of Rubanik, were charged to Sergeant McGovern and posse. The policemen most serlously injured is Jack Stelzner, who was severely cut in several places about the head by bricks; Willlam Doran sustained an ugly gash on the forehead and Harry Seguine was badly kicked about the k==& and body. : While the patrol wagon was hurrying to the scene, Willlam Howard, a tinsmith, residing at 860 Market street, was struck down and seriously injured. The quick action of Driver Nathan in pulling his horses to one side prevented what pos- sibly might have been a fatal accident. SOgE UPHOLD MINERS’ CAUSE.

ANOTHER LANDSLIDE ON TEHACHAPI LINE LOS ANGELES, April 8.—Another land- slide at Tehachapi this afternoon greatly delayed the efforts to clear the tracks of the Southern Pacific and added hun- dreds of tons of dirt to the already large obstruction on the tracks. Without a moment's warning the earth rolled from the mountain just at the time trafiic was about to be resumed. There are 150 laborers at work at the mouth of tunnel 17, the scene of the land- slide. The work is attended with dan- ger, and a force of men is constantly on the lookout for further slides. At the Southern Pacific offices’late tonight word was¢ received from Tehachapl that no further trouble is anticipated and the company expects to have trains running regularly tomorrow. X = p wood, Pettibone and St. John, officers of the Western Federation of Miners, held in the Boise prison in connection with the murder of former Governor Steunen- berg of Idaho and to raise funds to assist in their defense. The pavilion was packed. Aftap the meeting the throng, including niany women, march- ed in the wake of the band to the junc- tion of Market, Third and Xearny streets to deliver to thé mmorning news- papers the resolutions adopted. "The red flag waved above the assemblage as it gathered at the junction of the streets. The gathering at the pavilion was presided over by Fred Seibert of the Tailors’ Union. He announced after the speechmaking that cash to the amount of $298.35 had been contributed and that subscriptions of $67,25 had been made. This, with wpat the unions had donated, would make'a total of $600 to go toward the defense of the ac- qused miners, he said._ George Holmes, P. H. MeCarthy, Franklin Jordan and George Speed were the speakers. They all denounced the authorities of Colorado and Idaho for the incarceration and kidnaping of the imprisoned miners and declared that la- bor throughout the country would not ltolerate any injustice toward them. Mr. McCarthy said Governor Gooding should more properly be called Gov- ernor “Pudding” because of the manner in which he had allowed Moyer and his associates to be treated. He said labor in every corner of the country should voice its protest. Resolutions were adopted denouncing the Mine Owners' Association of the West and protesting against the pro- ceedings in the case of Moyer, Hay- wood, Pettibone and St. John. E. 8.

NEW YORK, April 8.—It was announced this, afternoon in a people’s meeting in the Church of the Epiphany that an ap- peal hadgbeen made to the United States by Governor Curtis Guild Jr. of Massa- chusetts to intercede against the atroci- ties being practiced in the Congo Free State under the rule of King Leopold of Belglum. Guild is vice president of the Congo Reform Association. The Rev. Herbert 8. Johnson, pastor of the Warren-street Baptist Church of Bos- ton, said he had left his pulpit for three months in order to tour the country and obtain the facts about the terrible crimes that are being perpetrated in the Congo Free State. “I got my information,” Dr. Johnson said, “from the report of King Leopold's own commission of Inquiry and from Protestant and Catholic missionaries. The report states that in six months 6000 right hands were cut off from subjects whom King Leopold compelled to work for him without remuneration. These slaves were guarded by an army whose soldlers were provided each with a chicotte. This instru- ment of torture is made of strips of green hippopotamus hide, which are twisted and | dried and made into a whip. The spiral edge of cach strand when the whip hard- ens is as keen as a knife blade. When a slave falls short in his day’s work he is stripped and held face downward, while the chicotte is applied. Ninety lashes is the usual punishment. In many instances death results before full punishment is meted ‘out. “Soldiers ordered to shoot the men who falled to work expended their cartridges on game. When this was discovered the soldlers were ordered to bring back the right hand of a slave for each empty cartridge.” BRYAN BOON 15 LAUNCHED IN NEW YORK EPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL. NEW YORK, April 8—That Willlam 4 Jennings Bryan will be the logical candi- date for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1908 is the bellef that is finding hearty expression among promin- ent members of the Democratic Clab. To discover sentiment throughout the country and fortify their party against what they describe as ‘‘dangerous so- clalistic “movements” they have decided to make their organization a national one, whose chief aim for the present will be to unite all branches of the party in preparation for the next Presidential campaign. _The prediction was made today that $ir. Bryan would be boomed as the only Democratic Presidential timber in sight at the Jefferson day dinner in the Wal- dorf-Astoria a week from tomorrow. In one of the addresses, it is said, he will be referred to as a conservative, in view of all that has developed in a political way since he last stood before the public as a candidate. It will be stated that he regards his old silver issue as untimely and to be discarded for other issues of greater national importance and public interest. As soon as Mr. Bryan lands in New York at the close of his trip around the world, it is said, he will make a public statement setting forth his attifude on public questions. Although Mr. Bryan is not due in New York for several months, the members of the Democratic Club and other prom- inent Democrats are already discussing plans for a rousing reception to him. It is Hkely that a big dinner will be given n his honor, to which Democrats from all parts of the country will be invited. According to the arguments of the members of the club what was regarded as radicalism four, eight and twelve vears ago has, in the light of recent economic developments, become actual conservatism, and Mr. Bryan, therefore, they reason, is a conservative Democrat. —————————— San Franciscan Is Drowned.

Whether the swag is recovered depends somewhat on how close tab, Inspector Stewart has been keeping on the move- ments of the man who claims to know where the treasure is. This man, whose name is Hines, suddenly became “‘wise” a few days ago and left town. W. R. Campbell of this city, who has been assisting Inspector Stewart, has Hines definitely located, and within a short time he Thay be given opportunity to divulge information officlally which he has already alleged to have imparted to at least one man here. CALLS PEABODY ROGERS' PUPPET NEW YORK, April 8.—Giving the le direct to Charles A. Peabody, president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, Samuel Untermeyer, counsel to the Pol- fcyholders’ Protective Assoclation in this country, denounced him as a figurchead cf the Morgan-Rogers-Standard Oil finan- clal clique and said that Peabody had been put into the Insurance company for the purpose of protecting his employers, H. H. Rogers and others, from civil and criminal prosecution for misappropriation of the policy holders’ money. “Peabody’s selection,” sald Untermeyer, as due entirely to the domination of the Morgan-Rogers influence in the Mu- tual Life's board of trustees and the suits against the McCurdys which he has be- gun under the direction of that crowd are not intended to be prosecuted, but are for the sole purpose of humbugging the pub- lic and enabling the shrewdest body of men in the country to escape.” Untermeyer's startling accusations were contained in a letter he wrote to Thomas H. D. Berridge.of London, a member of the European Policyholders’ Association. ‘Whether it was intended as such it was a reply to a letter Peabody wrote to D. C. Haldeman, manager for the Mutual Life in England, in which, for the purpdse of bolstering up the company’s business in Europe, Peabody declared emphatically and in detail that he was not a Morgan, Rockefeller or Harriman man, as asserted by the sensational newspapers. He omit- ted mention of H. H.
