DOWIE HAS THE MONEY.
Of Creditors that He is Amply
Able to Pay All Debts.

A Chicago dispatch says: By a
stroke of diplomacy, John Alexander
Dowie has established harmony be-
tween Zion, it's receivers and its credi-
tors in and out of court. He proposes
to settle with his immediate creditors
and to arrange with others on rea-
sonable time basis, and to end the re-
ceivership.
At a conference held Sunday be-
tween the attorneys representing the
heaviest creditors and Jacob Newman,
attorney or he receivers, Dowie
showed the lawyers statement SET
ting forth Zion's. assets and liabilities.
He declared he valued ,Zion's estate at
$14,000,000 above all liabilities. He
exhibited large orders for lace and
candy. He said neither the lace nor
the candy factory could supply its Or
ders. He showed an order for sevcn-
ty-fye car loads of candy from Gin
cinnati firm. He showed a draft for
$4,000 from, a awealthy wellwishes. and
declared he could draw for 100000
more on one Of lions friends In Wis
consin.
On this showing he offered to settle
all urgent claims in cash and to put
Zion on a cash basis in all future deal
ings with the outside world. With his
heaviest creditors out of the way, he
said, the debts demanding immediate
payment would not amount to more
than $150,000. Samuel Stevenson's
Judgment notes for 100000 are not yet
due. = : = - - = - e
Mr.. Dowie's presentation Of figures
and his offers Of settlement were salts
factory to the attorneys. His plan will
be submitted to a meeting Of the re-
ceivers, their attorneys and the at
torneys for his creditors, and it is be-
lieyed will be accepted. In that event
receivers and all creditors will join
hands with the self-styled propnet in a
plea to Judge Kohlsaat to dismiss the
pending litigation and permit Dowie's
freedom to gather funds and settle OBJ
legations.
