DOWIE MUST DISGORGE.

CHICAGO. Dec. 26.-The Record Herald
says: Samuel Stevenson, who, it is ac-

Feeling certain that John Alexander
Dowie has finally faced a situation he can
not master and has gone to law once too
often, Samuel Stevenson, known otherwise
as Dowies brother-in-law, is going to in
sist, through his lawyer. that the leader
OF Zion pay over every penny Stevenson
believes is rightfully due MIN.
Mr.. Stevenson, once so close to Dowie
that he married a sister of Mrs. Dowie
and was made a deacon in Zion and man
ager of the Zion lace industries Capital
Sl.0O0OOO is now apparently alienated from
his former overseer and, believing Judge
Tuley means TO expose all of Dowie's
agreements" for just what they are worth,
Stevenson is of the mind of the man who
holds the high trump card.
'Dowie must come to and settle for
If he does not the whole thing will tumble
down upon him." said Attorney Reeves for
Stevenson. You may say that we are not
going to Dowie for settlement; you may
say that | am not going TO seek Dowie' S
attorney, Mr.. Packard, nor are we going to
make another move just now. We are sim
ply awaiting the decision of Judge Tuley.
In the meantime feel elated and perfect
ly sure of our ground. We know what the
Zion agreements amount TO and what
Dowie has at stake. l believe he will come
to terms before opinion in this case
against the lace industries is announced
by the court
Mr.. Reeves also has cases against Dowie
ready to be brought by the four Daubney
sisters. Dowies new lace manager, Arthur
Stevenson, asked two of the sisters, as
shown in the evidence. to resign because
they were willing TO testify in the case
brought by their former manager. 1t can
be seen that If the court holds the Dowie
stock agreements amount TO a copartner-
ship the Daubney sisters will have an ex-
cellent chance to get all said to be owing
them. 1t is believed that in paying over
to Stevenson the things that are alleged
to be his Dowie may add a few thousand
dollars and ask that the Daubney girls
get what they want This would rid the
second Elijah of most OF his trouble.
