 Hit For Big Sum.
 William R. Tlmken, of Canton, Ohio, told the coroner that the company Of which Preston was manager was a branch of the Timken Roller Bearing Axle Company of Canton. and owed the Canton Company S14.000. Preston, he said, was formerly @ salesman for the latter company and when he started in business in New York, the Canton Company gave him unlimited credit. From an examination of the books" he added, "I am convinced that Mir Preston defaulted in a large sum of money.
 MT Preston came to New York from Dallas, Texas. several years ago and was reputed to own considerable prop erty near Dallas and to be heir to an estate in New Orleans reported to be valued at $3.000,000. Investigation up to the present has not located any of this property It is said that his wife had been led to believe that Preston was very wealthy. His brother in Paris, Texas. has informed Preston's associates that he does not know of the existence of the reported fortune of $3,OOO.o00.
 As secretary and manager of the Timkeu Roller Company, Preston re- ceIved a salary of $12,5Oo a year. He lived in fine suit sn the hotel with Mrs. Preston. who was formerly a saleswoman in a New York depart meut store.
 Charles R. Bcckman, counsel for P .. R Hewitt. said today.
 "I fear and suspect that we shall find that Preston had overdrawn and tho company is perhaps embarrassed. Of course do not know that yet. and 1t may not be so. but I fear it greatly.
 While neither myself nor none of the mon in the office nere knew much even know where in New York he lived He was not wealthy"

 Stricken With Paralysis.
 While there he suffered a stroke of paralysis from which never fully re- covered. It was at this time that he appointed Wilbur Glenn Volfva, his first lieutenant and general overseer of the church. A month after voliva took charge in Zion City he, by a power of attorney vested in him by Dowie. had all the property belonging to the Overseer Granger, charging extrava- gance and gross mismanagement by Dowie. At the time the transfer was made voliva called all the Zionists to the tabernacle in Zion City and de- nounced Dowie.
 With the exception of less than 200 of Dowie's former followers, all the inhabitants of Zion City chose yoliva a their future leader and word was sent to Dowie in Mexica that he had been deposed. He immediately started for Chicago and took rhe controversy to the courts for settlement.
 No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral The death of Dowie was unexpected. A large number of followers and others are gathered at Shiloh House.
 Mrs. Dowie, Judge Dowie. the pro- phet's father ar his son, who are at Ben McDhui, Michigan, have been mo- tif1ed and are expected at Zion City today. Judge Barnes, who was at the bedside of Dowie, is 8 member of Vol iva's council, but remained friendly to Dowie. believing him to be insane and not responsible for his actions. Dow ie's wife, father and son, had the same view and it is therefore believed, though they were estranged, that they will attend the funeral.
 Wilburg e.. Voliva, ghe head of the faction opposing Dowie in Zion City, today declined to maKe any statement. regarding the influence of the dea. h of Dowie on the future of the church. or to discuss his death in any man ner.
 Late in the day. Mfr. voliva reconsid- cred his determination to say nothing regarding the death of Dowie, and de- clared that the death of the former elader will not affect the future of the church in any adverse manner.
 Because of pr. Dowie's sad mental and physical condition" said Voliva, The has been a hindrance in many ways. Now that he has gone, all bitter feeling, just or unjust will disappear. Dr. Dowie has done work for humanity that has been done by anybody past or present. His death will not alter the conduct of the church."
 Dowie's final message to the world was given to Judge Barnes. who, with a nurse and one other attendant, was alone wsth him at the end. Judge Barnes said today that Dowie died quietly and without pain and was com posed. He also said that several days ago, Dowie called him. and foreseeing his demise, held 6 long conversation with him. Judge Barnes said he could rot divulge the purpart of that roHvera sation nc~. but 1 pi red to do go when the occasion arises.
