his eye. Voliva is no conqueror to
found communities, to convert the
world, to gain riches in Mexico and
spiritual dominion in the islands of
the sea. He could never invent the
pageantry, the Hebraic ceremony, the
oriental splendor. But he can organ
ize, he can eliminate waste. he can
practice economy.
New Leader in Earnest.
Voliva is but 36 years of age. His
hair is black, not dark brown. His
eyes are deep-set, shrewd, very dark.
and somewhat piercing. His sallow
cheek is the esthetic's; his thin, close
set lips are the disciplinarian's, not
only Of others but of his own spirit.
He eats but two meals day, frequent
ly only one; sometimes not at all.
He clothes himself with "neatness" in
the fashion of the conventionally prim
Protestant minister-white tie, frock
coat, low-cut waistcoat. He never
smiles, not because he is oppressed by
his own dignity, but because he sees
no occasion for mirth. He does not at
tempt to impress his visitor-Dowie
actually made four men out of five
tremble in his presence.
Voliva Is an American, Hoosier,
who Is so entirely an American that
he is ignorant of what is his racial
stock. He has been heard to say that
he fancies his peculiar name may be
French, but he doesn't know.
In 1900, DR.. Voliva became associated
with Dowie's church. A few months
later he went to Cincinnati, where he
remained six months, and in October,
1901, he went to Australia after be-
ing ordained an overseer. DR.. voliva
returned from Australia to take charge
of affairs at Zion City a few weeks
ago.
Where $4,000, 900 Was Spent.
81 have no doubt that Zion City and
its numerous industries would be In q
thriving condition to-day with Dowie
still in absolute control II the original
plans had been adhered to-" said Attor-
ney Samuel w. Packard. THE chief
and, indeed, may say the whole
trouble has come because Dowie took
$2,000,000 out of the lace industry to
embellish his private residences at
Zion City and In Michigan. The orr
ginal plans never contemplated any
such thing. They never intended that
Dowie should appropriate money for
his own use.'
Speaking of the purchase OF the land
and the organization of the factories,
which he had conducted, Attorney
Packard said:
''It was in 1889 that first began me-
gotiations for the purchase OF the land.
We worked secretly througl real es-
tate agent 30 that the public would rot
know of the venture in fdvance. I
looked into the matter whether the en-
terprise could be incorporated " tn
Dowie as the sole owner. This was
found impossible because the state con-
stitution of 1870 forbids 1t. A corpor-
alton is forbidden to speculate In real
estate. We then issued certificates
which guarantee six per cent. Millions
of dollars was raised. II was provided
that all the profits above those paid to
holders of certificates should be rein
vested In the enterprise out of winch
1t came. Instead OF doing this Dowie
took the $1,000 900 for his own use.

Red Cross Help for Japan.

The National Red Cross society Of
the United States has been 40 demoral-
lied by its own internal strife in re-
cent years that 1t has not OF late been
an enc ective agency Of philanthropy.
But tie reorganization accomplished
under supervision Of congress has put
the sot iety once more In excellent
working trim. Coming forward nov
to ofer its services for reaching and
feeding the starving peasantry or
northern Japan, It eminently deserves
says the Interior. the benevolent aid cf
all generous Americans. The state
ment that the society II ready to 70
ceive and distribute funds has brought
out from President Roosevelt strong
public appeal for contributions to the
society's treasury for this object. The
crisis in the stricken portion of the
Japanese islands is as severe as Indix
experienced q few years ago, and
equally calls for international char
ity. Not less than $4,000 human b.

rigation colonization scheme which
Is now looked upon by his cabinet as
a nightmare. He paid for options
which he could not take UP and then
made a trip around the world.
The sumptuous furnishings of his
library and Offices in the administra-
lion building cost $4,000. He has TO-.
900 volumes of the rarest editions OF
English and French authors, which
cost easily another $25,000. Shiloh
house, where Dowie lived, Is the
largest house in Zion, and Is furnished
luxuriously. His country home in
Michigan cost $4,000.
Dowie had dreams of Zion univer-
sity. He sank 100000 in a structure
designed to be the center of campus
and organized a faculty Of 220. Last
year two persons graduated. The orig
lnal townsite of Zion embraces $500
acres, for which Dowie contracted to
pay $650,000. There Is still an incum-
brance of $152,000 on It, Dowie has
meyer parted with the land, but has
leased lots to his followers and they
have built their own homes! ;r9
Just what the Dowie liabilities
amount to Is uncertain. At the time
Of the receivership proceedings 1t is
aid he owed $1,0OO.000. Many obliga-
tions have been paid since, but new
ones almost as large are said to have
been created. There are judgments
n California and Chicago against
Zion and several big creditors are i'm
portuning. The Zion leaders put a
value of $4,000, 900 on Zion assets.

Alleged Fraudulent Acts.
One charge against John Alexander
Dowie covers the alleged fraudulent
sale of certain land granted by the
government OF the British South
Africa company to the Christian Cath
Ollie church. Dowie obtained this
ground for the purpose OF church
building about four years ago and i'm
mediately resold It to fnanciers in
Nottingham, England. In the last
three months he has been dunned for
the return Of the purchase money for
this land, as transfer was refused by
the British authorities. He has been
given eight weeks in which to return
$30, 1000, falling which criminal pro-
ceedings are threatened.

to perpetuate. The imagination which

creditors was withdrawn, and the notes

The widest spendthrift could not
match Dowie for schemes to rid him

the invasion Of New York by tho
Zion army cost Dowie S350.000. and
the trip was fiat failure. Dowie
never gave any reasons for planning
the New York trip except to say:

Is no uncommon sight as one traverses
the country to see the stars and stripes

German Trad. With New Zealand.

Besides the United Kingdom and
the colonies, Germany Is really the
only competitor of the United States
for business In New Zealand. The
trade OF the United States Is now Ave
times as great as that Of Germany,
yet the German trade Is increasing
rapidly. Germany leads the United
States in several lines, but the prin.
cipal one is musical instruments. Dur
ing the year 1904 Il sold in the colony
$25O,OOO worth Of pianos principally,
while our sales amounted to less than
1872 900 There Is really no reason for
this important difference except that
the German trade is pushed and easy
payments are accepted. 1t Is true, says
