Petition fer q Bankruptcy Order and q Re-
IS ceiYer Filed I'm u. =, Court.

III.
CHICAGO, April 25.-Zion City's affairs
and tho lght which Is being waged for the
control OF it's millions were brought to a
crisis late tonight through the filing ola
petition Of involuntary bankruptcy ana
an application for the appointment or a
receiver for John Alexander Dowie, founder
OF the city and deposed head OF the Christian
Catholic Church.
on the surface involves only about $1,000,
will hinge, future possession Of the city's
wealth, estimated at $40 o ,O00.
The application for a bankruptcy ORDER
and a receiver was made before Judge
X. NJ. Lands Of the Federal Court by At
torneye Michael Gesas n Edward i. Fox
OF Gregory, Perpendicular Il McNab, who
are acting in behalf Of Ransom r. Walker,
guardian of the estate of Ethel d. Foley
and conservator Of the estate Of William
7. Foley, insane, and John kohting.
Judge Lands decided that before any
order should issue DR.. Dowie and hls
creditors should have a hearing, and set
Monday as the day when they should appear
before him. .
Two specific acts in violation Of the bank
Fuptcy laws are alleged against DR., Dowie.
One is that on March of the present year,
while he was insolvent, he transferred a
portion of his property to Margaret H.
Fielder, for the purpose OF ,makipg her q
preferred creditor. The other has to do
with the transfer of property to- James
II. Hirsch one week later, undo the same
circumstances.
The attorneys. who bring The action
assert that they nave claims against DR.,
pe~ie a~EgreGating $4,000 and that within
a short time others will be ready for fling,
They estimate his assets at $500 600 and
his liabilities at 5000 900, although they
admit<th there is no means OF arriving
at even an approximately correct estimate.
While the proceedings are brought against
DIR. Dowie personally it is believed that
his right to the property of Zion City, which
was transferred by Voliva, acting under
a power Of attorney given by the fret
apostle to. Deacon. Granger several weeks
ago, will be involved, and that this Is one
of the questions which will have to be deter
mined prior to the naming Of a receiver
in the event 1t is decided to appoint one.

CONFEDERATE REUNION
Thousands OF We teranS OF the Gray Threng
New 0rIeans-Cty Gay IN Their Honor.

New ORLEANS, La, April 25.-The annual
reunion Of the Confederate Veterans opened
here to-day with an attendance of more
than $4,000, Of whom about one half are
veterans. The crowd was much larger than
expected, and tested the accommodations OF
the city.
The old st. Louis Hotel, formerly. the
Louisiana State House, was provided for
the poorer veterans, 5000 OF whom were
housed and fed there free.
At the auditorium opposite, In Court
House sqblare, the delegates from the various
camps OF the United Confederate Veterans
held three sessions and transacted the
business of The organization.
There were the usual addresses OF well
come by the Governor, Mayor oil New
Orleans and others. -,
Tomorrow night a confederate ball will
be given at the auditorium, and on Friday
the veterans will parade.
It is probable that this will be their last
parade, as so many of them are feeble and
Frustrated by the march that the orgsni-
zation Is disposed to abandon the parade
feature of the reunions. -.
New Orleans is decorated and Illuminated
tonight in honor of the celebration, on a
much more elaborate scale than during its
GA rniyal.

FOR SHIP SUBSIDIES.
Gen. Grosvenor says We Are Spending En-.
0rm0us sums I o Aid Foreign Ships

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Gen. G%rosvenor
of Ohio opened general debate on the Agri-
cultural, Appropriation bill in the House OF
Representatives to-day with a speech
advocating the passage Of the ship subsidy
bill. He said the time had passed when
it would suffice to talk about encouraging
the shipbuilding industry and merchant
marine Of the Countrywide time was here
when assistance was necessary.
We were building and maintainin y a
vast navy, Gen. G~rosvenor continued, to
protect a phantom commerce.. To m
tinue In that line, he asserted, would
be to bring disaster upon the navy In time
of war, for no navy that ever existed on
the face of the earth was worthy to be con-
sidered that did not have behind it a mer-
cha 1T marine, And in this respect, he
said, no commercial nation was so deficient
as the United States.
I'VE are spending enormous sums for
subsidies" he said. mo sooner does
a foreign shipbuilder announce that the
present draught of his largest ship is not
met by a corresponding depth il water in
American harbors than the Congress
rushes its en- ineering force TO make a
project for the deepening of the harbors of
the country that the foreign demand for
deeper water TO enable their ships TO make
more profit shall be met out of the pockets
of the American people. This is a matter
Of pure subsidy, nothing else. II meets
the dictionary definition, it meets the
common sense definition, it meets every
definition.
aThe whole growth. the mighty progress
| of the nation has gone steadily forward
to the tremendous proportions Of to-day,
on subsidies conferred upon the various
instrumentalities Of production and COM
meroe. But 95 per cent. Of that commerce
Is carried in foreign ships, under foreign
| flags, and two hundred millions Of dollars
were taken out of the pockets Of the Ameri-
can people last year and paid over to the
| labor Of the various countries Of Europe
which have wisdom enough and senset
| enough to patronize the merchant marine,
There has not been a keel laid for an
ocean going ship in the %shipyards of the
United States in the last eighteen months,
while millions of British money and OF
German money and japanese money have
gone to the commercial %shipyards Of those
countries to build gigantic vessels of trade
to carry our to such customers
as those countries see fit, and we, bowling
to the demands, are preparing our riverf
and harbors for their accommodations"
