zion CITY April 10-When informed Of
Dowie's arrival at Chicago and the lat
ter's plans as outlined In the Associated
Press dispatches. Oyerseer Voliya die
tated a statement In part as follows:
"IJndoubtedly Dowie's reason for not
proceeding to Zion city at once is that
he has read the morning papers giving an
account of unanimous sentiment against
him. and he desires to eyade the humilia-
tion of arriving here In the day time
wnen there would be no one to meet him.
Probably he has concluded to come here
in the night and then give out to the
public that the reason there was not
thousands to meet him was because he
arrived at so late an hour. wish to say
now that so far as the leaders Of the
church are concerned. Dowie Is in no
danger Of bodily injury, but there are
many people in Zion who have been so
shamefully deceived and has suffered 50
much through his mismanagement that
II is Just possible some one might at
tempt to do him some physical harm.
Regarding any legal steps he may
take. he will be compelled TO meet over
whelming testimony to the fact that the
transfer OF Zion from Dowle. through
me to Deacon Granger. was absolutely
necessary to protect Zion City. and Zion's
creditors as well. This move has been rat
iied by every Zion congregation In the
country with the exception OF San An
tonic and St Louis
