It appears that Dowie, a native of

publication. Leaves of Healing, to
show that for six or seven years Dowie
had declared that he was a trustee
of the estate, 95 per cent of which he
asserted belonged to Zion as a whole,
the court quotes a codicil to Dowie's
will, executed in August. 1905, as fol-
lows:
"The remaining nineteen-twenteths
of said estate in my name which I
hold and have held Ln trust in said
church I do hereby give, devise and
bequeath to my said successor in
office, to him or her and his or her
successors in office, to be so admin-
istered for said church and the ex-
tension of Zion and the kingdom of
God in conformity with the rule and
practices of said church.”
Of his codicil the court says:
‘"There is no escape from the plain
meaning of thes words. The declara-
tion is unqualifled and- is a complete
recognition of an existing trust obli-
gation for the court (o enter a decree
of private ownership would be to per-
petuate a fraud.”
As to who should be receiver the de-
cision ys:
"It is strongly insisted by Voliva and
his associates that the defendant.
Granger, be continued in charge. This
appointment. It is asserted. Is an ab-
solute necessity. I do not concur in
this proposition. Waiving all question
as to Granger's unfitness from the
standpoint of business ability, some

The fourth seetjon provided:
"All the rest, residue and remainder
of my estate I give, devise and be-
queath to my wife, Margaret Olivia
Hage, to have and to hold the same
to her absolutely and forever."
The fifth section provides that this
provision for Mrs. Hage is to be in
lieu of all right of flower in the estate.
By the sixth section Mr. Rage em-
powered his executors to sell his real
estate. In the seventh section he pro-
vides that In case his bequests to 4s
sister, nephews and nieces should
lapse or fall the amounts so bequeathed
shall revert to Mrs. Hage.
By the eighth Margaret Olivia Sage,
Dr. John P. Munn, Almon Goodwin
and Charles Osborn, "long my .confi-
dential and trusted assistant,” were
appointed executrix and executors of
the will, and it was provided that in
case Mr. Osborn refused or was unable
to serve as executor. Edward C. Os-
born should fill the vacancy. It pro-
vided also that none of these person.1*
should be required to give bond.
Under the ninth section the executors
are authorized to rent an office to
transact the business of Mr. Hage's
estate.
The tenth section revokes all former
or other wills or testamnentory dispo-
sitions at any time heretofore made.
The eleventh reads as follows:
"Should any of, the beneficiaries
under this will, other than my said
wife, object to the probate thereof, or
in any way directly or indirectly non-
test. or aid in contesting, the game,
or the distribution o' my estate, then
in that event I annul any bequest
herein made to sch heneficlarles, and
It is my will that such benefe larle
shall be absolutely barred and cut oft
from any share in my estate.”
While there was nothing in the will
to show the value of Mr. Hage s estate,
attorney fur Mrs. Hage estimate it at
between I70.0OO.U0O and >80,000.000, of
which amount about 130,000,000 is out-

and by some carelessness let it become
derailed. It was while trying to prize
the truck back on the rails with a
crowbar, and letting the prize slip,
that the men were precipitated tq the
ground, a distance of about twelve
feet. Barron fell backwards, landed
un his head, breaking his neck.
Houston, Texas, July 27.— The
friends of Commissioner Colquitt in •
looking over th© situation tonight ex-. *
press themselves as being highly
pleased with the outlook that don-
fronts them in tomorrow’s election.
They say that Colquitt has made the
best race of any man in the contest
and his success is assured. The past
three weeks has seen a wonderful
change in the political complexion of >
the state and the friends of Mr. Col-
quitt suy that he has been the greatest
gainer by the change* in question.
One of his backers .stated tonight:
“You can play Colquitt up for first

IJne of machines or as enthusiastic a
crowd of motorists as Han Antonio.
Under the city ordinances all automo-
biles must be registered in the office of
the city engineer, and the records of
that office show that there are an
even hundred machines own by Ran
Antonians and one owned by a Dallas
man here. Of that number twery-
three are public machines for hre and
the other seventy-seven are for pri-
vate use. A fee of >1.50 is charged by
the city, so a total revenue of >150.50
has been received. In addition the
machines are taxed regularly as prop-
erty. Estimating the average value
of the machines at >1500, the total cap.
Hal Invested in automobiles in Kan
Antonio is about >150,000 As the
power of an automobile will average
about twentyy«ve horsepower, these
machines are doing the work of 2500

’ his vow recog-
messenger- of the
Texas and Texans have seen in a gooi
many ’years—in fart, sinco the famous
Hogg-Clark campaign which caused
such a severance of friemdship’s
chains as to leave Texas and till people
divided for months afterward.
While no such results will b© at-
tendant upon the present contest for
state offices, there is no questioning
the fact that the campaign for gov-
ernor has waxed warmer and warmer
during th© past few weeks along with
Ilie weather until here at the close
tonight men ar© everywhere in Dallas
in bitter and excited discussion as to
the merits r demerits of their respec-
tive candidates.
It is generally admitted In political
circles here that there will be hu
choice in tomorrow's primaries in the
governor's race. It is slated here to-
night that Bell will lead, with Brooks.
Campbell and Colquitt following in the
order named. Two weeks ago the slate
would have shown Campbell in for
second place, but it seems to be gener-
ally admitted that Brooks has forged
ahead of Campbell during the past two
weeks and will now rar© Bell for a
close lead under the wire.
In view of the fact that it is ad-
mitted that no candidate will get
enough votes to make him the primary
nominee, the next questlon is the inat-
ter of seeing that the convention dete-
gates are composed of the right kind of
men to be depended upon in an emer-
gency. Hence tonight all over this
city and in ©very city in North Texas
the politicians are holding seeret ses-
sions to decide upon the tickets that
must be selected from the various
wards and precincts tomorrow and to-
morrow night. Th© tug of war will
be lo get these slates elected and
hence all down the Ine tomorrow
voters will be admonished to be sure
and attend not only the voting during
the day but the primaries at night
as well.
Word received here tonight from
various sections of th© state show that
Judge Bell closed his campaign at
Waco. Brooks spoke at Terreli as did
also (Commissioner Colquitt. Ex-Kepi
rezentative Trav. Dashlel closed the
Campbell campaign at Tyler before a
large and enthuslastls audlancu.
The ovation tendered Judge Bell at
Waco la reported to be one of the
greatest in the history' of that city,
while both Brooks and .Colquitt had
stem-wIndng crowds howling for them
at Terrell
in the state treasurer’s race It Is con-
ceded here tonight that Hparks will
win out, while Terrell will be renomf-
nated hi land commissioner. Mr. Gil-
bert, his opponent, was here yesterday
and claims that he lias most of the
black belt grabbed. If that bo true Mr.
Terrell may have some trouble scraping
through without losing some of his
skin.
There is clearly nothing to do now
save to await the result of the bal-
lots cast tomorrow and after a long
and weary campaign politicians in gen-
oral are welcoming the rest that is
promised with the closing of the polls
tomorrow, In the meantime every
preparation Fs being made Ho get in
the returns tomorrow night as speedily
as posisble and all the headquarters
here expect big crowds to hear and
read the bulletins.

Dowie's testimony respecting the ori-

“I acquired this property by the gen-

world. I have looked upon the estat*

sense under God. I believe the prop-

church, with the exception of 2 1-2 per

and my family.”
