DoWIE SAYS HE WILL PERFORM
WONDERS AT ZION
CITY
UGLY STORIES ARE TOLD
Mrs. DowIe Declares to the Deacons
OF the Church That Her Husband
Expected to Found a Colony Of Poly
gannlsts In Mexico.

Snicago, April 6.-The Daily News
says today that John Alexander Dowie
has announced in a private telegram
TO one OF his deacons that he will re-
turn to Zion City late Monday night,
ana perform a miracle" He prom
lses among other things to bring to
the faithful in Zion' $10,000,00O in
gold and several scrolls of parchment
upon which are written the five books
of Moses.
Dowie Planned Harem?
The latest story in the Zion City
sensation is that John Alexander
DoWle, the first deposed first apostle
of the Christian Catholic church Of
Zion, planned a harem Of seven wives
He had gone SO far as to select the
women who were to practice openly
with him the polygamy which he
taught in secret. Miss Ruth Hofer
was to be his first wife. To five Of
them he had proposed marriage and
they had accepted.
1t is just to say that neither, Mrs.
Ware nor her daughter, Harriet, was
among the number Four Of them
were said to be widows.
Dowie for the last three years had
a stereotyped letter that he would send
to all divorced women urging them to
come to Zion. Among the servants at
Shiloh house none but the most at.
tractive found favor in Dowie's eyes.
Would Found Po!ygamists' Colony.
. Dowfe and his harem were to have
been the nucleus around which 1t was
proposed to found the Paradise colony
in east central Mexico. Dowie out
lined this plan of polygamous col
ony to his overseers.
At the same time he asked them to
divorce his present wife on the
grounds of incompatability. The amaz-
ing proposition WAS made to the lead
ers OF the church week before Dowie
was stricken was paralysis.
These astounding revelations were
made yesterday in Zion City at meet
ing of officers Of the church which
lasted until evening.
Mrs. Dowie attended the meeting.
With voice trembling with emo
ton and with tears streaming down
her face she told the overseers. the
deacons and deaconesses, the evangel-
lists and the elders Dowie's brutal pro-
posals to put her away that he might
espouse seven young. attractive wo-
men. She told how he had threatened
her with violence because her woman
hood revolted.
Her son Gladstone added his testi-
mony. One by one the elders who had
been apprised Of Dowie's polygamous
plans by himself told how he had ar
gued with them and described the vio-
lent rage that had followed their hor.
ror stricken rejection Of his proposals.
.Denounce Him as Chief Sinner.
Dowie, who, clad in the rich vest
ments he himself designed when he
declared himself apostle two years
ago, had denounced sinners with vigor
and flow of invective that made him
one of the most remarkable characters
of religious history. was denounced
yesterday as the greatest sinner of
