mean forfeiture Of the lots and houses
of the followers of Dowie.
The policy which might be pursued
by the receivers was discussed by
Attorneys Solomon o. Levison of coun-
sci for the receivers, and V. V.
Barnes, DoWie's attorney.
I'VE do not intend to lay paralytic
hands upon Zion" said the former.
Attorney Barnes declared that Zion
would pay dollar for dollar.
A proposition to make Dowie mana
ger under the receiver appeared to
meet with favor on the part of the
courts officers.
AT the Zion City general store,
where Receiver Currier was intro.
duced to Deacon Clendennin, the gem
eral manager, the question arose as to
whether the trade checks in use at
Zion City were to be accepted in pay
ment of purchases. Clendennin said
that many residents had little or no
ready money and were depending on
trade checks given as money. If these
were refused it would work a great
hardship.
Trade Checks Not Good.
After consulting with his attorneys
Receiver Currier said the checks
would not be accepted. This decision
was also made known to the manager
of the fresh food supply of Zion,
which includes the butcher shop.
This is occasioning a panic among
those of Dowie'S followers whose only
assets are the trade checks. Hoy they
are to live unless assisted by more

"JUST RUN. ACROSS"
Some People Are Lucky.

Some people make an intelligent
study of food and get on the right
track (pure food): others are lucky
enough to stumble upon the right way
out of the difficulty just as Phila-
delphia young lady did.
She says: II had suffered terribly
from nervous indigestion, everything
seemed to disagree with me and I was
on the point of starvation when, one
day, I happened to run across DEM
onstration of Postum Food Coffee at
one of the big stores here.
ct took a sample home and "a sam
pie of Grape-Nuts as well, and there
tried them again and found they
agreed with me perfectly. For months
I made them my main diet, and as the
result, I am restored to my former
perfect health and can eat everything
when L spoke to my. physician
about Grape Nuts he said, 1T is q
most excellent food. Name given
nv Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
There's reason.
Look for the famous little book,
"The Road to Wellville," in every
package of both Postum and Grape

Early in the week before last Dowie
made a personal trip thru the various
shops. He talked for more than two
hours to the employees. He told his

Dowie's New York crusade with his
restoration host was extremely expen-
sive and his first public confession of
weakness was made at rally In the
Zion City tabernacle last Wednesday.

1t is Gods and we need it in His work.
You're towards If you don't give it
up. Deposit it,
Dowie talked in the same strain for
more than an hour, tears glistening on
his cheeks as he told of the financial
straits in which the Zion industries
found themselves.
Run on Dowies Bank.
Instead Of cajoling many into de-
posting, this appeal sent a long line
of people to the bank on Friday, when
they lined up at the paying teller's S
window, drawing out their money.
Less than $4,000 was deposited in
the bank on Friday, while the amount
withdrawn was twice as much. Late
in the afternoon A. w. Graham OF
Waukegan tried to withdraw his ac-
count Of $500 and was told he would
have to give thirty days notice before
he could get his money. Then an
other appeal was made by Dowie for
funds. but the depositors who appear
ed were few and the deposits were
chiefly in trivial. amounts. Yesterday
Dowie asked the members of Zion
more urgently than ever for money.

he was willing to take in short loans,
but they must be Forthcoming imme-
diately.
Hundreds of letters have been sent
out daily to Dowie's followers in other
parts of the country. Glowing pros
poets Of Zion City's future were paint
ed and Dowie himself is quoted as
praying that all those who believe in
him will follow the Lord All Dow
ieites are urged, almost commanded,
to sell their farms. stores and every
thing else and come at once to Zion
City and take UP. the work of the
church.

INSANE THRU FEAR


Wisconsin Man Thinks Highwaymen
Are After Him.
Fearing that he would be robbed of
$4,000. received for farm, and then
be thrown from a train, John Halvor-
son of Wisconsin became raving
maniac yesterday, and is now con-
fined in the insane ward at the county
jail.
Halverson was picked UP yesterday
afternoon by Patrolman Mcleod. At
the station he told the officers that
he had sold his farm for $4,000 and
that hold-up men were after him. AS
he recounted his experiences he be-
came violent.
When Halverson was brought out
of his cell this morning preparatory
to being taken to the county jail, he
became so violent that it took four
men to put him in the straight Jacket.

Needed the Money and Got 1t.


Washington, Dec. 2.-One of the
Pennsylvania representatives who is

with a tale of woe. He began to tell
a plain tale of travel. but he had not

THAT, Mr.. --------; is just What I am

This is an illustration Of the fact
that it is becoming more apparent
each year that the salaries of con-
gressmen are, inadequate.
Not infrequently a professional
striker comes to town who sees
every man in the delegation of the
state, often netting a substantial sum
in this way.
To meet such demands a private

quate, and it is not proposed at pres

In Executive Session Senators Take

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington Dec. 2.--During the
executive session of the senate yester-
day there was a frank talk among the
senators on the attitude of Speaker
Cannon and the house in refusing to
consent to an adjournment of the
extra session. The criticism of
Speaker Cannon and even of the presi-
dent was quite sharp, especially on the
part of the democratic senators.
Among the speakers We're Messrs. Gull
lom, Bailey, Bacon, Teller, Hale, Alli-
son, Elkins, Cockrell and Carmack.
The discussion was Incidental. to the
question whether the senate should
consider new business, pending dispo-
gition of the Cuban reciprocity bill, to
consent debate on the Cuban bill is to
begin on the first day of the regular
session and continue until the. 10th
Mr.. Lodge had q latter he wished
to present to the serate and when he
suggested it, objection was made by
Mr.. Teller and other emocrats on the
ground that the Cuban bill was the
only business before the senate under
the agreement and that the houses S
action in preventing adjournment did
not justify new business. The tacit
understanding was reached that no
new business should be considered un-
til the Cuban bill Is disposed Of.
Bailey Attacks Cannon.
The allusion to the house brought
q caustic speech from Mr.. Bailey, who
declared that an attempt was being
made to rule the senate from the room
of the, speaker. He resented such in
reference, which he characterized as
childish" and intimated that the
president was supporting Speaker
Cannon.
''Any attempt on the part of the
speaker, who is presumably supported
by the president" said Mr.. Bailey,
ito thwart the purpose Of the senate
within the proper exercise of its pre-
negatives, presents an attack on one
coordinate branch of the government
by two others. which is entirely un-
justifiable. The senate is the only de-
liberative body Of congress- and any
attempt to bend it to the will Of an
other body will be quickly resented,
whether that attempt comes from the
speaker or the president
Mr.. Bailey added that his criticism
was not intended to be a challenge to
the speaker for a trial of strength,
but he insisted that if the speaker
continued on the lines he had laid
down the senate would quickly in open
session assert its rights and make it
fight to the finish

Washington, Dec. 2.-Speaker Can

ing w. r. Hearst as a member of the
house committee on laborfand several
days ago announced boldly that Hearst
could not have the place. Represent
tative Williams, the minority leader,
insisted at first, but after long con-
ference with Mr.. Cannon, withdrew his
objections and then everything
seemed fixed.
But Hearst is too resourceful to be
baked. Il He sent word by wire to
scores of the labor centers of the
country, and straightway letters and
kilograms from heads Of large labor
bodies began pouring in upon Cannon
and Williams, asking that Hearst be
put on the committee, ''as the repre-
sentative of organized labor Can
non finally yielded, it is understood,
but with rather bad grace. In order
to offset the Hearst plans, Speaker
Cannon has redoubled his efforts to
coach the committee not only so far
as the republican members are con-
cerned, but the democratic members
also. He has had several confer
submitted to him a list with reputable

Zion City, Ill.,. Dec. Except at
the bank here, no sign of disturbance
over the bankruptcy proceedings
against John Alexander Dowie was
visible in this place to-day. The bank
was closed and guarded both by
United States Deputy marshals and by

erwise the Dowieite institutions were
being conducted as if nothing unusual
had happened.
Behind closed doors in Dowie's
private office to-day, Dowie and his
attorney met Custodian Redieski and
attorneys representing the creditors.
The principal object was to plan for
the continuation of the various indus
tries. The secret conference is said
to have been stormy at times when
Dowie became angered at what he
called presumption ON the part of
his opponents.

Washington. Dec. 2.-Conferences be-
