SAN PEDRO, Sept. 5.-Andrew Furu-

mans union, arrived here yesterday from
San Francisco, and today was trying
to straighten out the difficulties be-
tween the sailors and longshoremen's
union and the wharf and shipowners
here. In an interview today Furuseth
stated that nothing had occurred or
been accomplished toward bringing the
local labor troubles to an end. He re-
fused to say whether any definite action
had been taken BY the local unions and
seemed to take gloomy view of the
outlook for an immediate settlement.
All the lumber yards are now working
full blast and the mills have started up
with a full complement Of men, all Of

schooners arrived during the night and
the wharf managers say they have plen-

DENIES ALL CHARGES.
Dowie Asserts That He Never Advocated
Polygamy.

CHICAGO, Sept. 5,-~In lengthy
printed statement issued from Shiloh
House in Zion City yesterday, John
Alexander Dowie replied categorically to
charges OF immortality, extravaganza.
misrepresentation, misuse Of invest
ments and polygamous teachings made
against him by Wilbur Glenn Voliva,
who deposed him from authority and
usurped his place as leader.
Replying to the charge OF immortality,
Dowie declared that he had demanded
Of Voliya time and time again that
the charges which Voliya made against
his moral conduct be made public, and
that each time Voliya had refused to
comply.
Before God and man, say am with.
out taint upon my personal purity" he
asserted. III there is aught to the
contrary, let them stand forth and
prove it,"
The charge Of polygamons teaching in
the face OF his public teachings for
years and his printed addresses, he de-
clared. to be absurd and foolish.
Answering the charge Of extravaganza,
Dowie said:
"The general oyerseer and first apos-
tie of the Christian Catholic Church in
Zion must necessarily in his represera-
tive character use more funds than a
private individual in Zion. To say that
| have made wilful and extrayagant use
of money in connection with my pri-
vate affairs can only proceed from an
enious and malicious source"
After denouncing Nolira and leading
officials of Zion who joined the revolt
as MEN who are guilty, cOnfessedly, of
the rank and the dishonesty, the basest
deception and the most monumental in
gratitude Dowie appealed to those in
Zion still faithful to him to aid fnan-
cially in his fight to regain leader
ship.
