REICNS
IN ZION CITY
Dowie Makes Showing in Court
Which Satisfies the Creditors.
and Receivers Are Dismissed

CHICAGO, Dec. S.-John Alexander
Dowie is again in control of Zion City
and all its industries. This turn in the
affairs of the head of the Christian
Catholic Church followed a financial
showing made this afternoon which
satisfied all the creditors, who at once
made a formal motion before Judge
Kohlsaat to have the receivers appoint
ed by the United States District Court
a week ago discharged. As no objec-
ton was offered to the motion by the
creditors, Judge Kohlsaat granted the
request and Receivers Blount and
Courier were discharged.
While the receivers have been re-
lieved from further duty at Zion City,
the bankruptcy proceedings are still
maintained. 1t is likely. however, that
these will be dismissed in day or two
or as soon as the creditors committee,
appointed Monday has had an oppor-
tunity to report on the advisability of
accepting Dowie's offer of settlement.
This provides for payment of all mer-
chandise accounts within one year and
the giving of notes in the meantime
bearing 5 per cent interest BY the
terms of the agreement Dowie has
agreed to pay all the expenses of the
receivership. The retirement of the re-
ceivers from Zion City appeared to
please all parties concerned. Dowie
who was in court with his representa-
tives, appeared jubilant over the turn
in his. financial affairs. Attorney Ettle-
son, who filed the original petition, said
he was agreeable to discharge of the
receivers on terms which shall give his
clients an opportunity to get full pay
ment of their claims
