his Mexican undertakings. His wife and
son agreed with those who made objec-
tions. He added that his son, although
not a bad man, did not walk in his
Dowie's) ways. He said his followers be-
lieved he was going to die, and, in fact,
seemed little sorry that he did not, and
now opposed his returning to Zion. He
ridiculed the idea that those. he had ap-
pointed could dismiss him who had ap-
pointed them.
Dowie spoke at length concerning the
telegram of April /, received on Monday,
April 2, in which charges were made
against him and in which was mentioned
the action that caused his immediate
preparations to return to Zion City. He
warmly refuted the charge that he had
been extravagant by declaring that he
owned today the majority of the shares
in the Zion City Bank, and he declared
with much earnestness that when the ac-
counts were adjusted he would have a
goodly balance to his credit.
Dowie then took up the charge of ty-
ranny and remarked that, like all business
employers, he did not and would not toll
crate incompetency. He had been charged
with injustice, but he said he had during
the last two years from his own personal
resources made gifts to his people aggre-
eating 100000. 1t was said he was ex-
travagant. when he had not drawn from
Zion City's funds $1,000 during the past
six months, but, on the contrary, had
loaned Zion City from other resources
S10, 900.
Dowie took UP the charges Of misman-
agement brought against him, and said
that the creation of assets over and above
liabilities of s20.0O0.000 in four years was
hardly to be considered stupendous fall
ure. Land which had cost him less than
$3.50 an acre he had never sold at less than
$1,000 an acre, and some as high as $12, 1000.
Concerning the charges of polygamous
teachings, Dowie said that in none of his
literature published was there any support
of this doctrine. He said he was a sincere
monogamist, and had not contemplated
introducing polygamy into his Mexican
colonies.
Dowie went into a discussion of this
subject from a Biblical standpoint, and
insisted that he had never upheld any
thing but strict monogamy.
Nothing, he said, could keep him from
going to Chicago to face criminal or other
charges, which had not the slightest basis
in fact He humorously remarked that
his deposition arrived in Mexico on April
l. or all fools day. He appeared anxious
to confront his opponents and felt conf
dent of the loyalty Of the great mass of
his adherents.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The mythical
collapse of Mrs. John Alexander Dowie
today followed rumors that the party
IN favor of the First Apostle" had
grown so strong that serious conflict
between the two factions in Zion City
might follow the return of her hus-
uand. Friends of Mrs. Dowie say that
she expressed the fear that bloodshed
would result. Early today she fell in
a swoon while IN her home. and it was
feared for a time that she had suf-
fered a stroke OF paralysis. 1t was re-
ported later that she was suffering only
from A severe attack of nervous pros
tration.
The Appellate Court today by de-
cision deprived Dowie OF $4,000 which
had been left TO him by Frederick SUIT
ton, a New Zealander. The heirs of
Sutton brought suit to have the will
set aside on the ground of undue in
lluence, and won their case in the lower
court Dowie appealed and the Appel
late Court today decided against him.
Attorneys acting for Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, the acting general overseer OF
the Christian Catholic Apostolic
Church. filed for record in Cook County
TODAY a bill of sale transferring to
Alexander Granger the property of the
church, it's institutions and industries,
tOReIneT Will ali VI liiC PSASNAaoA
property of John Alexander Dowie,
wherever situated. The bill OF sale
says:
''The intention is to include in this
conveyance all the property of John
Alexander Dowie, whether accrulng IN
his individual capacity or in his repre-
sentative capacity as founder or leader
or first apostle of the Christian Cath
olic Apostolic Church in Zion"
John Alexander Dowie's alleged do
nestic tyranny was laid bare before 25O
oyerseers, elders, deacons, deaconesses
and teachers at meeting in Zion Uni
yersity building this evening. Nearly
every officer of the church addressed
the meeting, which lasted five hours
without intermission.
Mrs Jane Dowie, wife of the deposed
First Apostle" described in detail
Dowie's conduct toward her during the
past two years. At the close of her
recital the officers were called upon to
decide by vote whether the course
adopted by the overseers should be car
ried out. Only one vote was lacking
to make approval unanimous. One Off
cfal asked for further time to consider
the matter before placing himself on
record.
Charges that Dowie seriously contem-
plates polygamy. and that his plans for
q Mexican colony were inspired by his
desire to marry seven women, who had
already been selected, and of whom
Miss Ruth Hofer, the Swiss heiress, was
one. were made at the meeting.

Ignacio Guerra, a Poor Mex
lean Miner, Suddenly Be-
comes Rich and Starts
Out to See the World
IN SAN FRANCISCO
WITH HIS FAMILY
Sells a Claim in Mountains
of the Southern Republic
for 100000 and Is Now
Reaping Reward of Labor

1gnacio Guerra is in San Francisco on a
tour of America. He has just S900,00o TO
spend. and he cares not one whit Tor the
cost of anything he desires. he does not
carry all of this fortune with him. Most
of it is deposited in Mexican banks, and
his draft book is ever at hand to pc useo
should his supply of golden eagles fall
short With him are his wife, four beau
tiful daughters and young son-his most
valuable asset he thinks. They are stop
ping at the Occidental.
Guerra is a miner and made his money
quite suddenly He is Mexican ana
speaks only a few English words. He Is
intelligent and quick of perception Al
though he is newly made rich man, he
does not spend wildly. as is often the
case. but makes his purchases with due
deliberation.
STRUGGLES IN MOUNTAINS.
For years he was very poor man. He
struggled along in the mountains of
Mexico, picking away at their SIDES with
faint hope of ever becoming exceedingly
wealthy He had claims by the score,
but all they afforded was scant living
for himself and family. They all lived
together in small house in the noun
tains. cooking their own food and farlng
as best their small means would allow.
The son, however, was given an Amerl-
can education.
Then one day Ignacio Guerra struck 1t
rich. One of his little claims fairly oozed
gold and silver. He did not have the
capital to put up a plant and work out
his findings, so he did the next best
thing He went out to hunt purchaser
for his claim.
He was not long in finding a capital
ist who would buy. The news of lgna-
clio Guerra's fortune spread all over
Mexico and telegraph messages rushed
the announcement to New York. Offers
to purchase poured in. The lucky miner
finally accepted 100000 cash and an in
terest in the claim as his selling price.
PLAN TRIP TO AMERICA.
1t was not so very long ago that the
money was turned over to .Ignacfo
Guerra With its possession came the
burning desire TO travel and see the
wonders of the world. The family held
a. consultation. They were delighted
with the idea of a long trip. eThey
would see the United States first. SO
they packed their worldly goods and
set out.
THE City of Mexico was their first
stop There they bought fine clothes
in abundance. Suit cases were packed
with luxuries. San Diego was the first
stopping point in the United States.
Then came an extended visit to Los An
geles.
The family arrived in San Francisco
yesterday afternoon. San Francisco is
the place Of all places which they have
desired to see. They engaged suites of
rooms at the Occidental, the best the
hotel afforded.
Last night Guerra and his son went
to the Olympic Club boxing. They were
delighted at the exhibitions.
