RECEIVED WITH ENTHUSIASM
Great Crowds Gather to Hear
the Most Marvellous Fakir of
the Times

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-Under the di-
rection of an advance agent four hun
dred and twenty members of John AL
exander Dowie' Zion hosts arrived
from Chicago early today to partici-
pate in a crusade for the regenera-
tion of New York. All appeared cheer
fui and happy and said they had had
an enjoyable trip. They landed at the
battery and at once boarded cars for
Madison Square Garden.
AS soon as the first car started the
crowd on board began singing hymn
and large number of curious specga
tcrs gathered around those waiting
outside the ferry house. Men in the
Dowie party distributed tracts. The
men were all dressed in a uniform re-
sembling that worn by the United
States Infanty, but the women did not
wear uniforms.
The crowd around the ferry house
grew SO large that it blocked the street
and police drove the spectators to the
curb. One of the features of the party
was the junior choir, consisting of
about fifty little boys. There was also
a drum and a fife corps of thirty
dressed in khaki uniforms. Thirty per
cent CT the party were women and
children of all nationalities.
Dowie, himself, arrived in his spec
ial train at the Grand Central Station
disappointing the crowds who were
awaiting him at the West Shore rail-
read ferry, his train having come from
Albany over the Hudson river divis-
ion. His private carriage was await
ing him at the West Shore depot and
the Zion leader, with his wife, son and
lieutenants took the public hack to the
Plaza Hotel. A number of his own
people greeted DR.. Dowie, but there
was little demonstration. Dowie was
accompanied by Carl f. Stern, chief of
police of Zion City, and Robert Mas
sey. All registered at Plaza Hotel
Another train bringing DR.. Dowie's
a6herents had previously arrived on
the New York Central railroad.
One hundred of the Dowieites who
reached the city via the Pennsylvania
railroad ferry were met by score OF
boarding house keepers. They were
hurried in cabs or trolley cars to Madi-
son Square Garden. 1t required more
than ten trucks to haul their baggage
to this city. Some of the trunks were
decorated with small gold crosses
printed on white pape and stuck on
the baggage.
Madison Square Garden, which is to
be the headquarters of the host for
most of the time they are here, was
soon occupied by 1900 citizens of Zion.
Each presented at the entrance an
Identification card bearing the photo
graph of the holder and every person
was carefully scrutinized by Direc CT
General Mitchell.
All had expected to breakfast in the
garden, but as it had been arranged
not to make provision today 70: any
meals before five o'clo TX this after
noon they left the garden in search OF
d meal in neighboring restaurants.
Scattered around the ent3n,e to tae
ga.oen were the Zion guards, each
dressed in a black uniform and black
peaked cap. On the cap just above
the peak was a gilt dove and under it
We word braided in gilt letters, Pa
tlehce." In the belt they wore was
ihc usual sword strap, but instcai OF
weapon the strap held a Bible.
All Who wished were assigned to
qua'teis in nearby boarding houses.
