Chicago, Dec. 3.-"All who have not
Zion in their hearts cannot come into
! Zion," is the order promulgated to-
day by John Alexander Dowie through
his cheif of police.
The order to the Zion guards. the
a police force in the town of Zion City,
Il continued as follows: From now on
arrest or escort to the city limits every
person who is not of the faith or a
United States official We will bow
to the government alone" Following
this order the usual force of Zion
guards was doubled, many of them
patrolling the outskirts of Zion City.
The lace factories, lumber mills and
other industries continued in opera
ton today and contrary to expecta-
H ton Dowie trade checks were taken
instead of money at the general store,
Dowie Institution in the hands of
the federal officers. There was a rush
exhausted their ready supplies OF
money and were unable to purchase
provisions with trade checks yester-
day we're in extreme needof food.
Federal Custodian Redeke said to-
day that his inspection of Dowie's
books led him TO believe that Dowie
is better off financially than any bank
rupt he had ever known. The GUS
todian added, however that the re-
ceivership would undoubtedly last sew
eral months.
Receivers Blount and Currie arrived
in Zion City today and took up the
work of examining into the condition
OF Dowie's finances. The receivers are
at a loss to understand where they
can get the money to pay the work
men at work in the factories. Dowie.
however, declares his people will work
for nothing provided they are fur
nished with food.
While there are plenty of provisions
in the city to feed the people for a
week now that script is bing accept
ed. it is feared by the receivers that
hard times may come when these are
gone. A prominent canning company
has refused credit to Zion agents and
announced that cash would be required
for all provisions furnished in the flu
of other supply houses with reference
10 Zion City.
Federal Judge Kohlsaat has appoint
ed Dowie temporary manager of Zion
Il City's industries. 1t is the idea OF
the court and receivers to interfere as
little as possible with the established
order of Dowie's industries. Dowie
will be the agent of the receivers and
the arrangement will be discontinued,
If it is found that the interests man
aged by him are not made to pay.
Federal Judge Kohlsaat today is
sued an order to the Zion receivers,
authorizing them to place 100000 in
surance on the Zion plants, none of
which have heretofore been insured
and to employ such help as is neces-
sary in order to continue the opera
ton of 80 factories. The receivers
were also instructd to enforce the Zion
City ordinance so as to not offend the
residents.
This afternoon Judge Kohlsaat or
dered that the receivers report on the
condition of the business of the Zion
Industries within one week, in order
That the court may determine whether
three receivers should be continued
or not.
II was further ordered that all cou-
pons issued by Dowie to laborers and
wage earners in Zion City outstanding
before December l should be accepted
at the discretion of the receivers.
Whether Dowie's home, Shilol
House, is connected with the admins
uation building, 200 feet away, by ar
underground tunnel. is a question tha
puzzling Custodian Rediseke.

ieske, and while the custodian wal
