st. Louis, No. April 10.-John Alex
ander Dowie, on his flying trip from
Mexico to Zion City, arrived here
shortly after midnight, and as soon as a
transfer could be made he was speed
ing on his way to Chicago.
Dowies journey, as Dowie gives all
to understand, is to result in the great
est triumph of his life. Thru the jour-
ney of yesterday and last night he kept
his temper we'll, but he said some
things which emphasized the purpose
of his hasty return to Zion.
One thing he made emphatic during
the trip here was that he never again
will live with Mrs. Dowie.
,%She is the cause Of most of my
trouble" said Dowie, "and shall never
live with her again." He also said he
had Voliva where he wanted him. and,
with triumph cleaning in his eye, de-
clared: 81 will soon cast the devil out
of Zion."
Dowie's calm demeanor thruout the
day probably was due to what he calls
an act of Providence Near Little Rock.
Ark, the train encountered a burning
bridge, but without stopping to inves-
tigate how serious the fire was the en-
gineer put on force and the train sped
safely over the structure
Then the bridge collapsed and when
Dowie was told of what had occurred
he declared it was a favorable omen
for him. He said the Lord had
purposely delayed the destruction Of
the bridge to enable him to cross it.
Dowie further declared the Lord had
willed that he should proceed in safety
to Chicago and that he would therefore
win in the fight to prove that he is the
reincarnation of Elijah.
Altho the train was four hours late
all day, the first apostle maintained

the sweetest of temper and stood the
tedious journey WELL his old-tfme abil-
ity and manner almost entirely disap-
pearing.
Dowie really appears to be happy
and the fire of battle sparkles in his
eyes. Even when he listened to re-
petition of some OF the most glaring
accusations made against him by VOL
Iva at the Sunday afternoon service at
Zion City the calm demeanor was but
slightly ruffled.
The old-tim outbursts of passion,
the tearing of hair, the determine
lions We're not forthcoming. Instead
the first apostles eyes triumphed as he
declared: "Now ! have that young
man where. we want him and 1 will
soon cast the devil out of Zior."
Dowie expects to win a notable VIC
tory In Zion. He believes that when he
reaches the city OF his creation those
who have been following after strange
gods will listen to him and will accept
his words as the truth.

DEMAND PRIMARY LAW
Special Session of the illinois Leeisla-
ture Convened to Enact a Primary
Election Law-Governor Deneen
Reads His Message, Asking Immedi-
ate Action on the Subject.

Springfield, April 10.-The Illinois
legislature convened In extraordinary
session at noon today to enact pri-
mary election law. In his message to
the legislature the governor called at
tention to the recent decision Of the
supreme court which declared uncon-
stitutional the law passed by the last
session Of the legislature, and said
great confusion would ensue unless a
new primary election law was, speedily
enacted.
Our state needs q compulsory pri-
mary law In but six of our counties is
there such law. In the other ninety
six counties, rules for conducting the
primaries are made by committees. In
these, the committees have unlimited
power-power of legislation, power Of
administration, and power of adjudi-
cation, In party matters. In ninety-six
counties the committee may call con-,
ventions when they choose. determine
where the primaries shall be held,
whether one for each county or one for
the method of continuing the primar-
les, by voice, by display of hands or
by ballot; may select officers of pri-
maries, define the qualifications of vot-
ers, appoint judges and clerks, chal-
lengers and watchers, may deny to un-
friendly factions the right of challen-
gers In polling places. In ninety-six
county 1t is no crime either to buy or
sell votes at such primaries, nor Is it
a crime for members of other political
parties or residents of other counties
or states to vote at such primaries.
It Is no crime for voters to cast more
than one ballot, or for judges to re-
ceive more than one ballot from the
same person, at such primaries: nor is
it a crime for Judges or clerks to make
false returns on the votes cast. Out
of those evils has arisen another ev-
il, that of the double convention. Such
is the lack of confidence in the conduct
of our primaries that, in warmly con-
tested elections, each faction holds it's
own convention, in the hope that the
committee on credentials in the higher
conventions will recognize its claims.
Because of the chaotic condition of our
primary system. there has grown up in
the state a very general demand, re-
gardless Of party, for a compulsory
election law, and believe such law
should be enacted. The old nominat-
ing system has been discredited and
the people have demanded it's refor-
nation. All political parties have rec
ognized this demand. The problem be-
fore you is how to achieve government
of the people and for the people thru
people.

Immediately to the auditorium Annex

serve some kind of a legal document
upon Dow.e, but his followers pushed
the deputy aside, and prevented SER
vice. Dowie was in excellent spirits,
and said his health was better than at
any time during the trip from Mexico.
At the hotel Dowie made the following
statements:
"The fight that will make to regain
my prestige In Zion will he legal one.

Noisy Welcome.
When the train rolled into the sta
ton an immense throng was there to
catch a glimpse Of Dcw!e He s1ss
given g. most spectacular welcome.
Cries ranging from the Zionites' motto
God be With Thee" down to the ir-
reverent Good Boy, Dowie," were
showered upon the old man in bewild-
ering confusion. AS he walked thru
the crowd he was for a time, in dam
ger of bodily hurt. so great was the
crush. The police seemed powerless
to hold back the spectators. When
he was passing across the depot plat
form deputy sheriff endeavored to
serve papers upon Dowie in suit, it is
alleged brought by a medical expert
for services rendered Dowie several
years ago. The Zion guards who
crowded about closely, reached for
the intruder. but before they could
lay hands ur m him, the police officers
picked up the man bodily and threw
him over nearby railing. Dowie did
not seem greatly flustereh by this un-
usual incident Dowie entered car
riage and, with number of his follow
ers, drove to the Auditorium annex,
where he shut himself up and denied
admission to any but his counselers.
The trip from st. Louis to Chicago
was uneventful.

The news Of the market disaster

The people seemed demented. They
surrounded the market; in many cases
tearing their hair, cursing and scream-
