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

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.

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.

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.

As the slightest 'cold' predisposes the Indi
vidual to attacks of the most severe and
dangerous catarrhal affections, the neces
sity for Its quick cure need not be en
forced." 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.
