THINK poWlE SOLVENT.
Creditors to Ask for Dissolution Of the
Rsceivership.


Chicago. Dec. S.-Creditors of John
aggregating 100000 will petition
Judge Kohlsaat this morning immed-
ately to dissolve the receivership which
has been In charge of the Zion over
seer's property the last week.
This action was decided upon at a
meeting of creditors in Zion City yes
terday, while other creditors, said to
represent 100000 in claims. were ex-
pressing favorable opinions at meet
ing in Chicago. on Dowie's plans for the
payment of his obligations.
The creditors at Zion City not only
passed favorably on the dissolution of
the receivership but passed a resolu-
ton expressing their belief IN Dowie's
solvency. The resolution says:
After q thorough and exhaustive
canvass OF the sitaution it was the un-
animous sense OF the meeting that the
Rev. John Alexander Dowie was more
than solvent by many millions Of dol
lars, and that his intentions and abil-
ity to pay 100 cents to each and every
creditor Is above question.
Following the conference, Dowie ex-
pressed himself as being highly elated
over the findings Of the representatives
OF his creditors who were present, and
said that in his opinion the statement
they had prepared was conclusive PROOF
that the actual financial condition OF
Zion was such as not to have required
a receivership.
"The gentlemen who met here this
afternoon, were given every opportun-
ity to learn exactly how stood hnan-
cially." said Dowie. Nothing what
ever was concealed from them. because
Zion was not afraid OF the truth, when
1t comes to considering her credit.
When we had finished every one pres
ent had agreed that we were perfectly
solvent, and that there was absolutely
no need Of putting us in the hands OF
receivers. feel confident that the
showing these men will make to the
court tomorrow will relieve me from
the false position in which have been
placed"
While plan for the payment within
a wear of all OF Dowie's outstanding
obligations, amounting to $552,267.0l.
was being presented to one set OF ms
creditors in Chicago yesterday after
noon, the overseer was In Zion prepar-
ing to cut the salaries of his employees
40 per cent to make good part OF his
debts. AT Zion City he also convinced
another set Of creditors that he was
solvent.
The fifty creditors present at the
meeting in the First National bank
block building looked with favor upon
Dn,via,s proposition
According to a statement Of Dowie's
representatives at the meeting. his as

stock in the Zion City lace industries,
