LEGAL FIGHT EXPECTED.

LEGAL FIGHT EAPECIED.
All of the men now prominent in the
management of the affairs of Zion City
Church, with the exception of Overseer
Voliva, are men with whom Dowie has
quarreled in the past. He dismissed Dea-
con Speicher frcm all of his appointments
in the church. and compelled him to leave
Zion City.
In a long message received yesterday by
Vo1iva and which caused the "revolu-
ton of today, Dowie ordered the instant
dismissal of Deacon Granger, who is now
all-powerful in directing the affairs of the
community at Zion City. Deacon Speicher
ascertained today that Dowie is a very
sick man, suffering from pulmonary
trouble, paralysis and dropsy and occa
sional delirium.
II is generally believed by the officers
of the church that the deposed leader will
make a fight to recover his lost power.
If this is done, they asserted today, the
matter would go to the courts.
Dowies project for the establishment of
colony in Mexico will be abandoned by
the new administration of Zion.
Dowie will be given an allowance, ac-
cording to dispatch from Zion City to-
night sufficient to maintain a residence in
Mexico if he so desires, or he will be re-
ceived by the new officers of the church
as common citizen, should he elect to
return and take up his residence in Zion
City. No action under the criminal laws
will be taken against him on account of
the funds he is alleged to have wasted,
nor will any civil action be brought to
recover. If the deposed leader becomes
| obstreperous, however it was said that
his son, Gladstone, was prepared to make
revelations that would .'startle the
world" No reply to the cablegram sent
to-day from Zion City to Dowie is ex-
pected tonight, inasmuch as Dowie is at
a point eight hours journey from the tele-
graph station.
OPPOSED BY WIFE AND SON.
The formal announcement of the
overthrow of John Alexander Dowie
was made today by Overseer John G.
/ Speicher, who presided over meeting
] of 1000 members of the church in the
Tabernacle at Zion City. The meeting
| opened with the quotation by various
church dignitaries of passages from
the Bible expressive of the sentiment
which has grown up against the self
styled prophet. The crowd which filled
the great structure and which formerly
answered yes and no when Dowie
nodded or shook his head, tonight ap-
plauded when he was accused Over
seer Speicher called out the numbers
of chapters and verses of the Scripture
and in response the various church off,
cials and prominent members who oc-
cupied seats on the platform quoted
the passages called for.
The new dictator of lions fortunes
| Wilbur Glenn Voliva, responding to the
| honor given, quoted Thou shalt not
steal" This sentiment was greeted

Property Taken From Him

in Charge of the Church
MORMON LEANINGS
ASCRIBED TO ELIJAH
Self-Styled Apostle Charged
With Having Advocated
the Practice of Polygamy
Among His Congregation

CHICAGO, April 2-John Alexander
Dowie, head of the Christian Catholic
Church in Zion.' was today deposed as
a religious leader, suspended from mem
bershlp in the church he founded, shorn
of his temporal possessions as far as they
are located in Zion City, the home of his
church, and warned to accept the situa-
ton quietly, lest worse should befall him.
The active revolt against the leadership
of Dowie was foreshadowed yesterday
when Overseer Wilbur F. Voliva, who
had been placed by Dowie in charge of
the church while he sought health in
Jamaica and Mexico, announced that he
would no longer accept the orders of
Dowie, who had, he declared, grossly
mismanaged the affairs of the church.
The members of the church, including
the wife and son Of Dowie, elected to
stand with Voliva>
The first movement looking to Dowie's
overthrow was made early today by
Overseer Voliva, who has a power of
attorney from Dowie. In company with
several other officers of the church, Vo-
Iva hastened to Waukegan, the county
seat of Lake County, in which Zion City
is situated and filed for record a war
ranty deed transferring to Deacon Alex
ander Granger all the real estate held by
Dowie in Zion City. He also executed
bill of sale to Deacon Granger putting
him in possession of all the personal
property of Dowie, including his horses
and books, and even his bed. Later in
the day Granger conveyed these to Vo-
Iva, and at nightfall the overseer ap-
pointed by Dowie had not only succeeded
him as the head of the church, but was
the holder of all his property as well.

The message sent to Dow1e from Zion
City is as follows:

Your statement OF stupendously magnificent
financial outlook is extremely foolish In view

After sending the message to Dowie,
Overseer Yoliva discussed the proceed
ings of the day. He said:
I have acted in this matter under the power
of attorney which L possessed What has been
done believe 10 be for the good of the church
in Zion City and for It's creditors. Legal coun-
sci has been retained. and everything was car

will depend what is done by Dowfe. The
situation IS uo to him as it stands.
Regarding the polygamous teachings
mentioned in the message to Dowie, Over
seer Voliva said he would issue a state

He said, however. that the teachings had
not been made public, but were of a pri-
vate character.
"Will Dowie be received in Zion City if
he cares to come back?" the overseer was
asked.
Never as leader. He must behave
himself if he comes back, or he will have
to look out for himself
"Wil the church send him money to
return?"

kindly uonors. The room. which Is large
and well lighted, is made cheerful and
attractive in appearance by order at all
times; by quiet and warmth, and by
boxes of winter blooming bulbs in the
windows. The appreciation of the stu
dents for the facilities offered In the IL
brary for both study and recreation, is
unfhlingly shown by their genuenlanly
department In the library at all times and
their uniform courtesy to the librarian
which makes it a pleasure to aid them
whenever help is needed. Material for
debate Is carefully cleaned from all avail
able sources and made ready for the use
OF the students. who otherwise might
not have the time to work up the debate:
reading lists are prepared from the cur
rent magazines and other sources, and a
personal interest taken in all who want
a good book to read" whether 1t is a
boy with the prospect OF several days in

count OF member injured In some ath-
letic contest, or an officer of the day, or
barracks orderly who wants "a good
book to help him keep awake" on night
duty.
This brings us to the end Of the recital
OF the work already accomplished. but
opens the flood gates of what remains to
be done, and our ambitions and asplra-
tons for the doing of 1t. so that we pause
as TO how to begin. In a college the size
and rank of the Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute. books Of reference on scientific
and technical subjects are the greatest
need. The proceedings OF learned socie-
ties would be OF inestimable value to u.s.
and bibllagraphies of the subjects being
studied in the college is a need that comes
to us with cry of Macedonian pathos.
But such things are very expensive, and
our small income has to be divided among
so many needs that the progress made
towards anything even approaching a
complete collection is so slow that we
! feel often as though the little we can do
amounts to nothing. We have very few
donations, the only one of any size being
the gift of over hundred volumes Of
fiction. which were presented to the IL
brary in the fall of 1904 by the Hon. III.

gradual evolution. we are trying to lay

ginia Polytechnic Institute 30 broad and
