DEFENSE CONTRADlCiS SOME TESTIMONY P(s on Witnesses Who Drajr State nrtti that F.ichanit Mrmkm ftefaae to fell to Xoa Meaibera, L. W. Bunnell, a member of the Omaha Coal exchange, went on the stand for the state In tho Bunde rl:nl cane yp?teiday afternoon, but his evidence dirt not develop anything startling. He was tho last wit ness put on the stand by County Attorney English and the defense started out with several witnesses In denial, of tht testi mony of Fred M. Clute given In the fore noon to the effect members of the exchange had refused to sell him coal because he was not a member of the exchange. Strenuous objections mere made by' At torney Connell when Bunnell went on the tand. Bunnell Is a defendant In the case and Connell Is his attorney, and this led the latter to demand the right to claim ex emption from testifying because the testi mony might tend to Incriminate the wit ness. The court held the attorney Could not claim this exemption, but the witness might, and after being asked by Connell whether he wanted to claim his exemption or .waive It the witness said he would claim It ' , 'On what ground," asked Deputy County Attorney Elllck. ; "It would tend to Incriminate me," waa h answer. " jff Against the' Point. . TheT county attorney then dug up the tatute under which th,e case Is being prosecuted and found a provision to the effect that a witness could not be excused from testifying because the testimony might Incriminate him, but that he could pot be prosecuted. .for anything he might disclose. , This led Judge Troup to reverse bis .ruling ar.d Bunnell had to testify. Bunnell told how price lists were mad. Bp'. Tie1 said nftef he had handed his list f prices to the secretary of the exchange he did not change them without giving notice. He said he sold at the prices named on thfa.card Issued by the secretary and would usually telephone the secretary to, find out If changes had been made at meetings he did not attend. The state finished Its case about 3 o'clock and C. S. Johnson went on the stand and denied the statement of P. M. Clute at the morning session thut he, Johnson, had re fused to sell Clute coal because he was not a member of the exchange. He said he had never refused to sell Clute coal and pulled Out a memorandum which he Bald contained entries showing sales to Clute during the period In question. M. Rosenblatt, L. W. Harmon and J. C. Weeth also went on the tand and denied .they had ever refused to sell coal to Clute or anyone else who had the money to pay for It. At G o'clock court adjourned until Monday morning. date Telia Hla Side. . Fred M. Clute, formerly a basket dealer, who claims to have been driven out of business by the Omaha Coal exchange, waa the only witness examined In the Sunder land - trial before Judge Troup Saturday morning. He testified he had been refused Mmlsslon to the Coal exchange and that the members of the organisation refused to ell htm coal for the alleged reason the exchange objected to selling to nonmem ber' The examination of the witness proceeded lowly because of the numerous objections by the defendant's attorneys. , Clute, said he -had been in the eoal busi ness In Omaha at two different times at 1804 Casa street and the second time during the winter and spring of 190S and 1906 at Sixteenth and California, doing principally a basket business. During the first period, he sajd, he had made application for mem bership In the exchange several times, but was refused. Dealer Who Refused Him. The dealers who refused him, according to his testimony, were C. B. Havens com pany, L. A. Harmon, C. S. Johnson and M Rosenberg. He said he was told by an employe of the Havens company that the refusal was based on the fact that the Omaha Coal exchange objected to Ita mem bers selling to nonmembers, but the an swer and questions were ruled out on the rounds It waa not ahown the employe waa authorised to make the state ment by any member of the exchange. Later the same testimony waa admitted as For Preserving, Purifyinsr and Beautifying the Skin, Scalp, Hair, and Hands. CvtVwf top Mb4ne 41 Wat MMtlrin. and M4 prtifsMlkar 4rtir4 fT9i 1 i Sturm.

DR. DOWIE IS DEAD (Continued from First Page.) Ing physician or surgeon, place for Belling pork or secret meeting place. . In December, ljnt, Zlon City waa placed under contrrl of a federal receivership, which was dissolved a week later on Dowle'a presentation to par dollar for dol lar Of nil Indebtedness. At that time Dowle estimated the value of hla holdings In Zlon City at tCS.cno.OOQ; since then the values of the lace factory, the other Industries and holdings In Zlcn City are believed to have Increased to $28.X,0nu. Vollva la Cliarae. Eighteen months ago Dowle began the promotion of a second Zlon City In Mexico. While engaged In this undertaking hla health failed and he went to Jamaica shortly before Christmas. 106, for his health. While there he suffered a stroke of paralysis, from which he never fully recov ered It was at this time that he appointed Wilbur Glen Vollva, hla first lieutenant and general overseer of the church. A month after Vollva took charge In Zlon City he. by power of attorney vested In him by Dowle, had all the property belonging to the church transferred from Dowle to Overseer Granger, charging extravagance and gross mismanagement by Dowle. At the time, the transfer waa made Vollva called all the Zionists to the tabernacle In Zlon City and denounced Dowle. With the exception of less than 200 of Dowle'a former followers, all the Inhabitants of Zlon. City chose Vollva as their future leader and word waa sent to Dowle In Mexico that he had been deposed. He Immediately started for Chicago and took the controversy to the courts for settlement. Wilbur O. Vollva, head of the faction op posing Dowle In Zlon City, declined today to make any statement regarding the In fluence of the death of Dowle on the future of the church and to discuss hla death In any manner. ' Telegrams . were received from Dowle's wife and son announcing their departure from Muskegon, Mich., fvr Chicago. The funeral will not be held sooner than Tues day. Statement br Vollva. Late In the day Mr. Vollva reconsidered his determination to say nothing regarding the death of Dowle, and declared that the death of the former leader will' not affect the future of the church in any adverse manner. ' Because of Mr. Dowle'a sad mental and physical condition." said . Mr. Vollva, "he has been, a hindrance In many ways. Now that he has done, all bitter feeling. Just or unjust, 'Will disappear. Dr.. Dowle has done a work for humanity which la In some respects second to none that haa been done by anybody, past or present. Nothing will be beard but talk of his good deeds, especially If It snould be proven that his mind commenced to fall several years ago. Hla death will not alter the conduct of the church." DOWIE I.AI XCHED OIT IS OMAH A Soon Found People Hostile to Hie Sort of Dogma, It was in Omaha that Alexander Dowle made hla original claim to being Elijah II and the faith cure prophet. In the base ment of the old First Baptist church. Fif teenth and ' Davenport streets, where the Omaha News company building now stands, Dowle held forth. He came here from Los Angeles, which point he struck upon his landing from Australia. That was In 1889. He tarried In Omaha three months and might have staid longer had It not been for the attitude of the newspapers of this city, which at that time were The Bee, the Republican. Herald and Dispatch. With one voice they showed up hla quack relig ious nostrums and he found it advisable to go to pastures greener and wider, very naturally selecting Chicago, where his brand of religion flourished and developed Into Its present stage of vigor and health. Dowle proclaimed himself Elijah II soon after unpacking his gripsack in Omaha. He made It up with Kev. A. W. Lamar, the pastor of the Flrat Baptist church, and secured the basement of that church for his meetings. Then, aa during the later years of hla work, he regarded the news papers and their reporters as venal vam pires and agents of the devil and excluded them from his meetings, or thought he did. Incidentally there waa a aide stairway, hid In tl.e dark, which led down to the Dowle chamber of secrecy. The foot of the stalra was right close to the feet of Dowle when he was preaching to his faithful sub jects for subjects they certainly were If they accepted his dictations and these "agents of the devil," In their Industry, discovered this stairway and got on the Inside of everything. They discovered the astonishing obligations this self-annolnted prleat and self proclaimed prophet exacted of his followers and the astounding claims he made to divinity. These "agents of the devil" proceeded to ahow up this sort of stuff and Dowle soon left town. When Dowle left he proclaimed that he would leave behind him Rev, A. W. Lamar as hla agent, Dowle himself being the agent of God, and all cases which Rev. Mr. Lamar could not take care of would be reported to the real faith healer at Chi cago. The following Dowle created In Omaha waa so Inconsiderable that It disintegrated very soon after he pulled up his stakes and cast anchor In a more fertile field of operation.. The millions be waa worth were not acquired In Omaha. So far aa any of his friends were able to discover, his ex chequer when he left here for Chicago waa no more plethoric. If as much so, as when he arrived In Omaha from Los Angeles. WOMAN IS DEAD IN RIVER Maria Becker, Believed to Be from Chehalla, ' Wash., Jumps from Train. AMSTERDAM. N. T..

AROlLND.TilE GLOEE Great Work Aoccnip'inhed in AH Net ion i, Si l Eobert Widni&1L COMPUTES TOUR OF THE WORLD Founder of Local Association Retnrns to Omaha After Visiting Chris tians la sjonchrlatlaa Lands. Senior Becretary of the International Committee of the North America Young Men's Christian Association Robert Weld ensall, formerly a resident of Omaha, who In 1H67 helped to form the Omaha Young Men's Christian association, tog-ether with William Fleming and J. D. Detweller, la In Omaha and will apeak thla afternoon at the new Young Men's Christtan Association building. Mr. vVeldensall haa Just returned from his trip around the world, visiting Japan, Manchuria, China, Manila, Ceylon, Egypt, Palestine, where he met W. J. Bryan; Syria, Turkey, Greece and all the natlona of Europe, beginning at Italy. Dur ing hla tour Mr. Weldensall waa a regular correspondent for Tho Bee. "My object In going around the world was to carry the greetings of the Young Men's Christian associations of the world," said Mr. Weldensall. "I carried with me greet Inga from Blr George Williams, founder of the association, and from the International committee of North America and the world'a committee 'of Geneva, Bwltierland, from Hon. Cephas Brainerd, under whom I worked for twenty-eight yeara, and from John Wanamaker of Philadelphia and Lord Kennard of London. These letters I pre- sented to associations In all the countries of the earth. I received counter greetings upon leaving from associations In most all languages, which I read aa I went around, and which I brought back. I also received a strong letter from a colonel of the Japanese army emphasising the work of the Young Men's Christian association In the armies of Japan. Method of Procedure. "The method of procedure was to vlBlt the national secretaries and boards of di rectors In small groups, rather than In speaking to large audiences. With these I emphasized the great Importance of the Young Men's Christian association work, Ita splendid adaptability to the work It waa performing and Ha unparalleled success." Because of Mr. Weldensall's long service In the field, he being with the Young Men's Christian association for over thirty yeara, his opinion was listened to atten tively by association men in all parta of the world. "Mr. Miller, of the American legation In Toklo, aald I came with the boat let ters of any man who had ever come to Japan and the committee wanted me lo go to the Ltao Tung peninsula and visit the armlea of Japan. I went with papers from the War department and with let ters of Introduction from generals on the field and visited the work In various places, chiefly at Dahlney, Port Arthur and New Chwang and while there was the guest of the Japanese government and my expenses were taken care of by that government. "In the eastern nations, such aa Japan, China, India, I put myself under the di rection of the different national commit tees, who made appointment for me In different parta of the several empires. Sultan at First Suspicious. "In Turkey I was 'followed by detec tivea, aa the sultan was fearful of any parties coming Into his dominion, but W. W. Peet, formerly of Nebraska, of the western Turkish mission of the Ameri can Board of Foreign Missions, who Is the most Influential roan with the sultan In Turkey, told who- I was and .taid he had known me. for thirty-five years and that no harm would come from my visit. Had a pleasant visit in Jerusalem and spoke to the association there, then In Europe also visited the worlds' committee at Geneva and under that committee vis ited all the nations of Europe and made a systematic visitation, including even Fin land and Russia. I closed my visit In Lon don, where the home of Sir George Wil liams was . turned over to the national council of the Young Men's Christian As sociation of the British Isles. Thence to America. "In regard to the foreign mission work In the far eastern country, of all denomi nations aa far as I have seen aa well aa of the Young Men's Christian association, I must say that I have been most favorably Impressed, while many thlnga look discour aging and while there were obataclea too great for human Judgment to understand how they might be removed, yet taking It all In all. It was far In advance of what I had expected to see It. Some False Criticism. "All along the way aa I was going to and through these nations, particularly on the steamers, there waa much criticism of the missionaries by merchants and poli ticians, but on close examination I found the missionary work waa of such a charac ter as to ahow clearly to me the falsity of these statements. The beat sndeavors I found In' all these nations toward the up lifting of theae people and the most un selfish efforts that were put forth for their betterment were undoubtedly the efforts of the mlsstonarlea and those associated with them, both the foreign and native workers. In some countries the work waa farther advanced than In others, aa, for Instance, In Japan and India It was much farther advanced than In China, but all the mis sionary work was well rooted and will continue to grow In the face of all ob stacles. I believe also that down deep In the hearts of the best thinking of the non Christian natives of those countries the missionary work and workers are heartily appreciated. When I was In Shanghai I was told by the secretary of the Young Men's Chrtatlan association that large sums of money were contributed by the non Christian or heathen Chinese to the Young Men'a Christian association building and believed It a good Investment In Canton, where there waa a Christian hospital under Christian Influences which waa almoat self sustaining from the contributions from the heathen Chinese business men. The em peror of Japan himself gave 18.000 to the work of the Young Men's Christian asso ciation In the armlea while contending against the Russians In Manchuria. These lnstancea could be reduplicated many tlmea of the attitude of the beat men of all theae natlona toward the Christian work. I heard It and I believe It that Christianity has more Influence In Japan than would be due to it from the number of Christiana." Mr. Wetdenaall came to Nebraska In 1868 and waa In the employ of the Union Pa cific railroad for two - years and during that time took the flrat step toward form ing thla association. He was then called out of the employ of the Union Paclflo to begin this work as traveling secretary In IMS. He has been engaged In that work alnce and has had to do with nearly all the departments of the work. Delaware Baspsct Releases:. DOVER, Det. March .

Pneumonia Weather. From the New York Herald. "The wide prevalence of cougha. colds, grip and pneumonia marks an experience of severe and protracted winter weather the like of which we have not seen for many a year. The stubborn persistence of catarrhal troubles Is also a marked feature of the depressing influences which follow a long siege of rapidly changing low and raw temperatures. The man la fortunate. In deed, who haa not been at some time alnce Christmas confined to his bed with a 'cold' of some sort that he cannot succeed In cur ing. Thla condition of affairs has existed for months and the end Is not yet. In fact. It behooves aU careful people to be on their guard against all catarrhal troubles more than ever. "March la a typical pneumonia month and gives a high rate of mortality for the dis ease. One reason for this Is that after our long and hard wlntera the system loes Its natural resistance to cold. Only the hardy ones are likely to withstand the strain and even these are by no means aaf when grip la Increasing almost to epidemic man ifestation. "The ordinary 'cold,' the grip and pneu monia belong to tho same family of winter diseases. Although they may be excited by different Infectious Influences, their ultimate effects are the same when the attacks are sufficiently severe. An acute catarrh is always the result of undue exposure to low temperatures. The rapid cooling of the surface, when not bal anced by proper reaction, produces conges tion and inflammation of the nasal and bronchial membranes. Obviously such an ailment la not communicable, in the ordi nary aerse, from one individual to another.

All these facts emphasise ' ths necessity of extraordinary precautionary measures against the ordinary cold. Everyone can not change his climate at will, but may make the most of what he 'has at home, vis: Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy aa soon as the first indication of the cold ap pears. It not only cures a cold quickly, but counteracts any tendency of the cold to result In pneumonia. This fact has been fully proven during the epidemics of colds and grip of the last few years. No case of either of theae dlaeases having resulted In pneumonia when this remedy was used has ever been reported to the manufac turers, which shows conclusively that It Is not only the beat and quickest cure for colds, but a certain preventive of that dangerous deaease.
