Residence on Levee St. A dispatch from Little Rock, Ark., under date of April 9, says: "I will drive my son and wife from the city of God. They are un natural and possessed of devils. The love of God has died in their hearts," declared John Alexander Dowie, self-styled Elijah II, here today. He is hurrying from Mex ico to Zion City to deal with those who have supplanted him. Dowie calls himself an aveng ing angel." He talked, readily. He denied in toto all charges broutrht atrainst him by his wife and overseers. As he spoke, Dowie's voice broke and time and again rage, mastered him. He roared his denials and tirades in tones that could be heard the length of the car. His eyes glowed and his fists were clenched when he shouted that he would drive his wife and son from Zion upon his arrival there. Dowie does not call newspaper men "unclean devils" today. He welcomes them where heretofore he denounced them. "I have been true to every trust placed in me, and to God alone am I accountable, and not to those whom I have placed iti steward ship. The charges of extravagance are the foul mouthings of ingrate curs. That I taught polygamy is n devil-born lie: that. I have been j guilty of improper relations with ! youthful proselytes a slander that j the might of a just God will avenge upon the high priests of iniquity who longed for my death to put to unclean uses the gre.it store which I have accumulated for holy good. My people have S21.000.000 worth of this world's goods, and the .debts of Zion are as the molehill is to the mountain. The receivership, the curtailing of my commands, are illegal acts, and in the courts, as well as with my right hand, will I smite and lay low. "Woman mav have d roved the downfall of the prophets of old, but they have cast no spell upon the modern prophet. They say I lost millions in Wall street, that sink of iniquity and abode of all things unclean. It is a lie that will choke my accusers. "The lustful letters purporting to have been written by me are forgeries, and so will. I prove them by putting their creators behind prison bars. '"It is not John Alexander Dowie prose- Charges have been made against me publicly, and they will be publicly refuted. 'You mav sav this" and the prophet brought his hand down with a tremendous crash my accusers will be driven discredited and branded from the walls of Zion. Within a week Dowie will again be Zion's leader, accepted as a holv man of God, and not as a charlatau."
