Laredo, Texas, April John Alex
ai1der Dowie, accompanied by five OF
his followers, reached this city from
Mexico City on scheduled time this
morning. After fornalities attendant
upon the transfer Of baggage, and
passing immigration inspection were
completed, the party left for San An
tonic, where they stop for a day in
order that Dowie may recover from
fatigue OF the long journey When
seen by an Associated Press CORES
pondent, neither Dowie nor his chief
lieutenant, John Lewis, would add
anything to what they had already
said regarding the trouble in Zion City.
Lewis, when asked for an expression
regarding the story published in the
Chicago papers yesterday, to the eff
feet that Dowie was bringing $10,000,-
600 In gold and several scrolls OF
parchment upon which were written
the five books Of Moses, etc. to Zion
City, said he did not care to make any
statement, but it was evident he rid
iculed the idea.
While Dowie is enjoying good health,
he was somewhat indisposed this NOR
ming. as result of the long trip, and
remained in the Pullman berth, while
passing thru Laredo. In his response
to the immigration official, Dowie took
an oath he was an American citizen,
saying: "I am proud of it."

his car and slammed the door.
Dowie is eating we'll but sleeping
poorly and Deacon Lewis is guarding
him closely.
Il fear the time when his son and
his wife face him. said Lewis. Let
us hope that no sacrifice will be de-
manded."
Dowie looks normal except that his
eyes glow fercely when he is address,
ed and his brows are drawn together
closely.
AT dinner yesterday a porter served
Dowie with pork chop and hardly
had the negro laid the dish before him
the chop was hurled thru the air while
Dowie roared, take that cursed pork.
It's at the bottom of all the sin IN
Zion.
The immigration officials believe
Dowie a foreigner a native of Austral-
la. If such is true. and he has failed
to secure naturalization papers, the
regular head tax of So, collected from
all incoming foreigners, will be exact
ed.

powIE IN A RAGE.
Tramps Up and Down the Car Ours
ina His Betrayers.

San Antonio, Tex, April John
Alexander Dowie, the uncrowned king
OF Zion. arrived here at l O'clock
this afternoon from Mexico on the
3,O00-mile race to win back his king
dom. A suite of five rooms has been
engaged at the Menger hotel for the
prophet, Deacon John H. Lewis and
party Of five, and 1t is in this quaint
old city that Dowie will meet his legal
advisers and plan the overthrow Of his
enemies.
The suite set aside for Dowie looks
out upon patio, and absolutely free
from danger of interruption the cam
paign to be pursued in recapturing
Zion will be planned. Elaborate ar
rangements for Dowie's entertainment
have been made by the faithful band Of
200 here under Apostle Mary McGee
Hall
A dispatch from San Luis Potosi, re-
ceived here yesterday afternoon, states
that Dowie is in a furious temper and
vows vengeance and personal
violence. Deacon Lewis, who
is caring for him, has great diff
flculty in keeping Dowie in the Pull
man. He strides the length of the car
100 times day, shouting curses upon
This betrayers,'' time and again re-
11ouncing his wife and son, who have
deserted him in the hour Of his trou-
lole.
Never more will he call me father,
and never again shall she be wife to
me-" he declared on the station plat
form at San Luis Potosi where he
walked for a few moments for a breath
OF air.
Dowie is vigorous. His health may
have been weak, but today he thump-
ed his first, roared curses upon Voliva
and Changers and pulled his beard
while he shouted that he would show
the traitors that the Lord was mighty
in his own anointed.
At times the leader seemed to be
fncoherent in his utterances, but Dea =
con Lewis said that Dowie was labor
ing simply under great mental strain
which increased as he approached the
American frontier.
I'VE will stop in San Antonio to plan
our campaign" said Dowie when ask
ed for statement, "and any statement.
for the press win be given out after !
