DOWIE HAS
Receivers Have Been Appointed for
the Bank and Other Institu
tions In Dowie's Zto*.
Great Fakir in Desperate Financial
Straits, but Announces He
WiM Soon Be O. K.
Chicago, Dec. 2—Financial difficulties
which began during the crusade of
John Alexander Dowie, the self-styled
"Elijah III," and his restoration host
to New York a month ago and which
have been rapidly increasing since
Dowie's return culminated tonight in
the federal courts taking possession of
all the property controlled by Dowie,
in Zion City, 111. This town, which
was founded two years ago by Dowie,
has a population of over io,coo, and is
the general headquarters for Dowie's
church and is said to represent an ex
penditure of $20,000,000.
Fred M. Blount, cashier of the Chi
cago National Bank, and Albert D.
Currier, a law partner of Congressman
Boutell, were appointed receivers of
the property. Their bonds were fixed
at $ico,oio by Judge Kohlsaat, of the
United States district court, who made
the appointment on the petition of sev
eral creditors. The receivers left for
Zion City tonight to take posesssiorr of
the property.
The bankruptcy proceedings against
Dowie were based on the allegation
that he is insolvent and that while in
this financial condition he committed
an act of bankruptcy by making a pref
erential payment, on Nov.
2,
Streeter Lumber Co.. for
$20,000,000
County.
to the E.'
$3,770.
Dowie
has been hard pressed by his creditors",
especially since it was announced that
his recent mission to New York had
proved unsuccessful, financially.
Dowie is known to have accumulated
a large sum as the head of the Chris
tian Catholic Church, the ., assets,, of
the organization being estimated at be
tween
-and
$30,oocxcoo.
There
was a large outlay of money, however,
when Zion City was started.' liien
lace and candy industries were started
and both of these ventures have
never been a paying investment a great
deal more moeny was tied up. Dowie's
differences with his brother-in-law^
Stevenson, over the management of the
lace factory cost more than $ico.ooO
and other suits recently begun in Lake
County by creditors are said to aggros
gate a large sum
Judge Kohlsaat at first refused to ap
point a receiver for the property on
the ground that Dowie should havfc.no.
tice of so important a proceeding. Aft
er listening to a further account of
Dowie s affairs front ^Mr, Ettelson,
Judge Kohlsaat decided it would be
well to have the receivers app6inted(
before the property at Zion City could"
be dissipated. He therefore entered
the order appointing Messrs,. Blount
and Currier.
It is declared to be a fact that the
employes of the manufacturing indus
tries have not been paid in from four
to six weeks. What little they have
received is said to have been paid en
tirely in the Zion City coupon books.
It was nearly midnight before the re
ceivers left Dowie. Although he makes
no general statement he declared the
receivership proceedings in court were
entirely unnecessary as he was entirely
solvent. He said the receivership would
be short as he would pay the debts iip
inediately. The Zion industries are be
ing operated today but the hanks are
closed.
The receivers today began going over
Dowie's books. An effort was made
during the night and is said to have net
ted
$25,000.
It is said Dow,ie might
come to Chicago and take steps for
doing away with a receiver.
Dowie's followers are not dismayed at
finding the "luihealed". in charge. They
shrugged their shoulders as they, passed
the bank saying:
"Dr. Dowie will make fools of them
all. He's laughing in his sleeve at
them all."
Meantime destitution stared some in
the face unless helped by a more for
tunate neighbor.

WORRIED OVER PERRY HEATH
The Big Republican Leaders Hop* Perry Heath
Will Resign.
Washington, Dec, 2.—-Leaders of the
repubqlican party here fear that the
party is facing a crises as the result of
Perry S. Heath's declaration to the
feffect that he would not resign the
secretaryship of the republican nation
al committee. .President Roosevelt be
lieves that Heath will step out in view
of the Bristow report, and Senator
Hanna is of the opinion that Heath is
honest, and knowing him to be an effi
cient officer, of the committee, thinks
he should retain the place.
It has been intimated that Hanna
might resign as chairman, if the. fight
on Heath is kept up. The senator, it
is said, thought that the president and
the postmaster general were not justi
fied in making public the evidence
which had been collected about the for
mer assistant postmaster general. Mr.
Roosevelt, however, when he. was
shown the details contained in the
Bristow report, was firmly' convinced
that nothing could be gained l?3f, hold
ing back that part which related 'to
Heath.
Those who view the matter as the
president does point out that if lleath
had made specific replies to the charges
instead of making only general denials,
he might have convinced the authori
ties at Washington that he had been as
sailed unjustly, and in that event the
publication of the charges would have
been withheld.

Tha%s|i .jM^ Thai A. J. Murphy Must Serve
for the Thaft of a C(Mit.
A. J. Murphy, a well known character
about town, was arrested last night
about 10 o'clock, and lodged in the city
jail charged with petty larceny. The
complaining witness is John Schneider,
who charges. Murphy witb, stealing ,4'J
coat from in front of his place of busi
ness on lower Front Street.
Schneider stated this morning' that'
the coat in question Was'hanging 011
wire line in front of his store, and that
Murphy happened along about 10 o'clock.
He stopped and carefully examined the
garment, then took it down and tried jt
on. It fit perfectly. He then removed
the coat, rolled it up and started iii the
direction of Third Street North. He
was so deliberate in his movements that
he fooled Schneider, and when he tunn
"bled that he had been robbed the thief
had a gopd start and outsprinted him.
Later he got sight of Murphy near the
Front Street bride. He approached his
man and recovered his coat, which
Murphy was trying to conceal by hiding
it behind him. The police were called
and Murphy was taken to the station.
When arraigned this morning the ac
cused entered a plea of guilty and was
sentenced to serve fifteen days iri the
county jail, in default of a $10 fine.
MRS. ROOSEVELTS CABINET.
''In all of her official duties," writes
Mrs. Abby G. Baker, in her article on
The Social Duties of Mrs. Roosevelt,,
in the December Pearson's, "the ladies
of the cabinet families are her right
hand helpers. Indeed, Mrs. Roosevelt
has established an admirable comrade
ship between these ladies and herself.
She devotes each Tuesday morning en
tirely to them, at which time any one
of them will find her at liberty. If a
social event is impending at which she
will need their assistance, she summons
thein in a body, and before the cozy
grate fire in the handsome oval-shaped
library on the second floor of the White
House they discuss together the com
ing event in the freest manner.
"These little meetings were the foun
dation for the joke -that went the
rounds oi the newspapers last, winter,
.to the effect that Mrs. Roosevelt had
started a feminine cabinet, which met
at the same time as the president's ad
visers and discussed serious matters of
state. The 'matters of state' which
these sensible women 'discuss' may. not
affect 'the policy of the administra1
tion,' but without doubt those infornrah
Tuesday morning meetings- have, by
several wise little .reformations they
have instigated in aftairs social, added'
materially to its popularity."
