Warns Followers no Glad Hand Must
be Given Former Leader

Zion City, ILL.,, April 9.-The people
of Zion City heard their former leader
John Alexander Dowie, denounced from
the pulpit in Shiloh tabernacle Sunday,
and they approved of it, or at least as
many of them as could crowd into that
vast meeting house signified their will
lingness in a manner that left no doubt
of sincerity to follow in the footsteps
of the first apostles successor, Cen
eral Overseer Voliva. lions new lead
er was the man that told of Dowie's
alleged misdeeds, and the more bitter
and scathing the words of denuncia-
ton the more. generally enthusiastic
the people became. When after de-
nouncing Dowie as a "spendthrift,"
liar and traitor to his trust and
his people," Overseer Voliva suddenly
stopped in his denunciation of the
founder of the sect, and at the end Of
a moments hesitation demanded de-
cision from the audience as to who
should be their future leader, the 5000
people in the tabernacle arose as one
person and signified their willingness
to follow VOliYa to the end.
On the platform with Voliva were
Mrs. John Alexander Dowie, Judge
Barnes head of the law department of
Zion City, and Overseers Speicher, Elk
cell. Cantel and Granger. The con-
clusion of short prayer by Overseer
Speicher the newly appointed head OF
Zion, clad in a robe of simple white
and black a decided departure from
the gaudy raiment assumed by the
first apostle on similar occasions, step
ped to the front of the platform, ant

to take advantage of the meeting tt
tell them a few truths.
Mrs. Dowie Applauds.
When most bitter in the denuncia
ton of his former master, there wa
no one in the tabernacle who showet
approval of his remarks more thai
Overseer Jane Dowie, the wife for 3
years of John Alexander Dowie, an

chased by the hypocrite while many
his people were in need of food, al

Mrs. Dowie half rose from her sea
and with her voice and hand loud
applauded the words of the speaker.

Finger prints are hereafter to be
used by the war department in identi-

CATTLE MORTGAGES VOID.
Kansas City Live Stock Exchange Is a
Trust

1t has been decided by the Kansas
supreme court in the case of State
versus Wilson, that the Kansas City
livestock exchange is trust and that
all mortgages on cattle made through
members Of that exchange are invalid.
Nearly all the cattle mortgages is
sued through the members of the ex-
change contain the provision that a
commission of at least so cents head
shall be charged. This is sufficient to
constitute a trust, according to the
decision, and all the notes and mort
cages are absolutely void. The de-
cision of the lower court was unani-
nous. Millions of dollars worth OF
cattle paper will possibly be affected
by the decision. Wilson had been
convicted of obtaining money under
false pretenses and sentenced to five
years in prison.

NAVY YARD JOBS GO BEGGING.
Secretary Bonaparte Finds Difficulty
in Filling Positions.

In three months which ended March
81, 243 persons either resigned their
employment at the navy department
or in navy yards, or refused to accept
positions under the navy department
after being certified by the civil SER
vice commission to the secretary. The
percentage is unusually large and Sec
rotary Bonaparte is worried about the
lack of desirable new employees. The
positions vacant command salaries
ranging from $500 to $1,000 a year and
the failure to fill the places is due
chiefly to the provision Of the law
that a certain quota of employees mus
be taken from each state. The pay il
the navy department is lower than il
many other departments.
