ZION CITY AFFAIRS
BOTH SIDES H0PE FOR AMIClBLE
SETTLEMENT OF DISPUTE.
Evidence by Which ne Hopes to
Get Dowie and His Followers
Dowie Spent Quiet Easter Sunday at
Hotel Auditorium Annex.

Chicago General Overseer Voliya
has produced the first of his batch of
documentary evidence by which he
hopes to confound John Alexander
Dowie and his followers.
The instrument was a letter written
under date Of April 10, 1904 and adj
dressed to Dowie, who was then in
Zurich, Switzerland. The letter was
signed by Overseers John G. Spelcher,
Charles J. Bernard and Judge V. V.
Barnes. In the document they warned
Dowie that unless he changed his ways
in the management of Zion City a
clash was inevitable. They stated that
from their examination of the conduct
Of the affairs of the colony it was
evident that Dowie had overdrawn his
account at the Bank of Zion City; that
he received deposits when it was
known that the bank was insolvent;
that he had used funds otherwise tnan
in accordance with the representations
made by the stock contracts and GER
tiflcates; that the proof of the appro-
priation of such large sums for his
own personal use and for the purposes
outside of those named, would be tan
tamount to "embezzlement in any
court of law" The letter further i'm
| plOred Dowie to exercise a rigid
economy on the part of himself and his
family, saying that expenditures to
this end should be based on needs
rather than upon fictitious income.
The inhabitants of Zion City, an.ci-
pating that such a letter would be
read. fiocked to the tabernacle early
and long before the services opened
the big building was filled. After the
regular Easter ceremony, the sensation
was sprung when General Overseer No-
Iva requested that Deacon Braze-
field read that section which said,
There is no doubt for moment that
failure Of the thorough condition of
things would land yourself and cashier
and general financial manager in jail
very promptly" the audience signified
its approval Of the sentiment express
ed by vigorous applause. The letter
continued:
The standard Of Zion City can not
pt iOWeI imam set ny the DuSlutSS
world outside. Your safest place will
be at home. There is but one country
outside-and that is Chile-where you
would be safe from the attacks that
would be made. and the situation there
would be hazardous if you continue
your policy.
The using of funds otherwise than
in accordance with the representations
made by the stock contracts and certif-
lcates and the proofs of the appropria-
ton of such large sums to your own
personal use and for ends outside of
the industries named, including what
has been done at Ben MacDhui would
be tantamount to a conviction"
Dowie spent a quiet Sunday in this
city and presided over simple Easter
ceremonies, which were participated in
by a few of his faithful followers, at
the Auditorium Annex
The attorneys for both sides said
that conferences will be resumed. and
there were yet hopes that the basis
for an amicable settlement would be
reached.

PANIC IN A CHURCH

"Fire'-congregation stampeded.

Chicago, April 15.-During a panic
which followed a cry Of fire Saturday
night while 400 persons we're partici-

Ludilmas Roman Catholic church,
Twenty-fourth street and Albany ave
nue., three children and one woman
were killed and a score Of others in
jured, several seriously. The majority
of the worshipers in the church at the
time the false alarm of fire was given
were women and children, and in a
few minutes all were in a tangled
mass, fighting to escape from the sup
posed danger. Many persons jumped
through the windows, but the greater
portion crowded to The center aisle.
The extra weight proved too much
for the floor, and some of the beams
supporting it broke. The cracking Of
the timbers increased the fright OF the
now terrified women and children, and
everyone in the place became panic
stricken men, women and children
fighting desperately with each other in
an effort to reach the outside. The
women and children suffered most in
the struggle and when the church
was finally emptied three children
were lying dead in the aisles and one
woman was so badly hurt that she
died while being removed from the
