MANY MILLIONS ARE INVOLVED.
Federal Courts Take Possession Of

OF the property. Their bonds were fix
ed at 100000 by Judge Kohlsaat, OF the
United States District Court who
made the appointment on the petition
OF several creditors. The receivers left
for Zion City to take possession OF the
property
The bankruptcy proceedings against
Dowic were based on the allegations
that he is insolvcpt, and that while in
this financial condition he committed
an act OF bankruptcy by making a pref.

the r. s. Streeter Lumber Company
for $3775. Dowie has been hard press
ed by his creditors, especially since il
was announced that his recent mission
to New York had proved unsuccessful
financially. ..
Dowe is known to have accumulated
large sum as the head OF the Chris
tian Catholic Church, the assets OF the
organization being estimated at be
tween $50, ,ooo, 600 and $50, 900, There
was large outlay OF money, however
when Zion City was started. Their
lace and candy industries were started
and as both OF these ventures never
had been a paying investment, a grea
deal more money was tied up. Dowie',

Attorney Ettelson, representing tn,
petltioning creditors, in his argument
before Judge Kohlsaat said:
The creditors whom | represen
have reason to believe that DR.. Dowi'
is insolvent. Judgments have been ac
cumuating against him for severa
weeks past and there was every indica
ton that the overseer OF Zion congre
CATION could not pay his debts. lr
such crisis the creditors sought pro
lection for their interests in the Bank
ruptcy Court. 1t is impossible to es
innate the liabilities or assets o
Dowe. Zion's affairs are complicated
and it will take several weeks, | be
lieve, before any idea of Dowie's f
nances can be had"
Judge Kohlsaat at first refused to ap
point a receiver for the property on the
ground that Dowe should have notice
OF so important a proceeding. Aitel
listening to further account OF Dow
les affairs from Mr. Ettelson, Judg,
Kohlsaat decided it would be well tt
have the receivers appointed before th
property at Zion City could be dissi
pated He therefore, entered the or
