BY Associated Press.


CHICAGO, Sept. 1S.-Wilbur Voliva
was chosen today by the people of Zion
City as their leader by the overwhelm-
ing vote of 1911 to for his opponent,
A. N. Bills.
The election was held today under the
orders Of Judge Lands of the United
States court, who was asked some time
ago to settle the controversy between
John Alexander Dowie, founder of the
church, and Voliva as to who should
have control of Zion City.
Believing that the best way to settle
the difficulty was to let the people of
Zion City choose their own leader Judge
Lands ordered the election, and to-
days vote is the result.
The action of the Zionists today prac-
tically makes John Alexander Dowie
an outcast from the religious organza-
tion which he established several years
ago and which has now grown to large
proportions. Dowie, who is in feeble
health. refused to recognize the author
ity of the court in ordering the election
and did not present himself as candi-
date.

account Of the high waters. While they
were begging assistance a large mass
Of driftwood swept down and carried
them from their fragile footing.
The other men jumped through the
rear door Of the smoker before 1t sank
and struck out for the shore. They
were carried down the current for per-
haps quarter of a mile, when they
pulled out. They were almost ex-
hausted from strangulaton and ex-
posure.
The most authentic accounts place
the number of passengers In the smoker
at between twenty-five and thirty
with but few exceptions these have not
been accounted for.
The only hopeful news is contained
in messages received from rural dis
tricts. Men on bits of driftwood have
been seen going down stream at vari-
Gus points, but attempts at rescue have
in most instances proved futile.
One man, whose name is not known,
was fshed out of the Cimarron at
Cashion, twenty miles from the scene
of the disaster. He was almost dead.
Others have been reported floating
down the river.
Those who were injured and taken
from the river at the bridge were hur-
ried to Kinghsher. Six physicians left
that place Immediately after news Of
the wreck was received. They have
been working without assistance since
early morning.
The people of Kingfsher have thrown
their homes open for the succor of
the injured. Enough clothes and sup
plies have been donated to provide for
an army.
1t will be impossible to ascertain the
number of dead for several days. Many
of those reported missing may show up
safe at some point.
Tonight the derailed cars are lying
near the bank of the river.
A party of searchers is working with
torches and lanterns to lend aid to any
who may be within the coaches or re-
cover their bodies.
1t is the opinion of people who are at
the scene of the wreck that few bodies
will be found inside the smoker.

He said:

swaying of the car my hand was
smashed between the doors. No bones
were broken, but the injury is very
painful. l did not know that the cars
were going on to a bridge until 1
reached the back platform.
when l felt the day coach going
down l jumped and landed on a short
piece of bridge which did not go out at
the south end. The chair car came up
within three feet of me before it
stopped, and all that saved my life was
the fact that the engineer threw on the
air before he jumped. The drag of the
heavy Pullmans caused the train to
break in two and it parted between the
chair car and the day coach on which
] rode.
when the engine plunged into the
stream it went clear out of sight. The
mail car stopped not far from where 1t
went down. The smoker went down
stream heading for the middle, and it
was there that the great loss of life
occurred if anywhere. The day coach
on which 1 had been riding started
down stream but swung into the bank.

trembling, so that l busted myself first

l walked down to the day coach most
of the people had been taken out.
From bruises and the contact with
water many people appeared as though
dead when taken out. but they soon re-

and bruises, but few were seriously
hurt.
