Annie Seebeck. He was arrested on her
complaint and. later identified by Miss
Cronin as the man who assaulted her

When Blake appeared in court to-day
his attorney, FL w. jF3ry; requested jus

mother, with the understanding that he
should not be permitted on the streets

DOWIE'S BOAST
IS MADE GOOD
Healer" Says He Will Not
Soil Feet With Dust of
Chicago and Keeps Word

CHICAGO, June 3o.-After a trip
which covered the earth, John Alex
ander Dowie arrived in Chicago to-
day. He had sent word ahead that he
would not soil his feet with the dust
of Chicago. He remained in his pri-
vate car while it was switched to the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
and attached to a train scheduled to
leave for the Dowie settlement at Zion
City, Ill.
Residents of Zion City were busy all
night making the finishing touches in
the preparations for the arrival of
Dowie. The streets, which were dec
GRATED with flags and bunting, were
rolled and sprinkled, and all the stores
were closed. Aside from a triumphal
arch, the tabernacle was the chief OBJ
ject Of decoration. Here Zion flags
blue and gold, with a cross in the CEN
ter--fourished in the breeze in large
numbers. Higher up was the "union
jack" of England, and, surmounting
all, was a huge American flag.
The arch of triumph" situated
near Elijah avenue, was made of imi-
tation blocks Of stone. Each block
bore the name of a city that Dowie
had visited in his travels. Black let
ters denoted the cities where Dowie
had been received, while the names
of the cities that had spurned him
showed in glowing red: The red.let.
tered cities were San Francisco, sgd.
'ney, Melbourne, Adelaide and London.
At the sound Of a whistle the entire
population spent two minutes In silent
devotion, and were then given six min
ltes 20 assemble in a procession that
was 10 greet Dowie. : . ~. :: =.
Ten companies OF Zion: City Guards,
seventy men each, :. formed : IN line,
while the ao-CalIed Restoration Host" {"
$500 strong, lined up at the tabernacle.
At the arch the guards met the Dowie-
ite senior and junior choirs, robed in
surplices. The march to the depot was
taken up, the other residents falling
in behind.
Upon the arrival of the train at Zion
City Dowie's carriage, victoria, trim
med with carnations, ferns and smilax,
conveyed the doctor and his chief
'overseer" at the head of the process
sion TO the arch, the Zion City brass
band furnishing the music. At the
, arch ten little girls stepped forward
rObed In white. with blue badges across
their breasts bearing In gold letters the
! names of ten OF the PRINCIPAL countries
which DOwie had visited. The chfr.
dren carried large punches Of roses,
which they threw over DoWie and fts
party. and then unlocked the gates al
| the arch, handing over to Dowie the
key, which. on his departure, he hao
given to the chief overseer. Addresses
were then made by Dowie, his wife
and Gladstone Dowie. The white
robed choir then sang an anthem, and
| Dowie went into retirement to receive
reports from his lieutenants.
