DEATH WAS UNEXPECTED l John Alexander Dowie of Zion City Passed Away This
 Morning
THOUGHT HIM INSANE
Vile, Father and Other Relatives .Not Present When He Died--Will Probably Attend FuaeraI-
 No Arrangements Yet.

Chicago, March 9.-John Alexander Dowie died at TAO this morning at Shiloh house, Zion City. There were present with him when he died only Judge D. N. Barnes and two personal attendants. It had been Dowie's GUS tom to hold religious services every Sunday afternoon in the parlor of the Shiloh house. About $50 of his origi- nal followers remained faithful and attended these services. Dowie all ways wore his apostolic robes and made characteristic address. Five weeks ago these meeting ceased, and Dowie appeared no longer in public. The Sunday meetings. however, were still held by his. adherents.
 Since that time Dowie had gradual ly been failing. Friday afternoon, however. there was no indications of approaching death. He received a few followers, and prayed for some people. His condition seemed to be about the same as for the last two or three weeks. One of the attend. ants remained with him until mid- night, and was relieved by the other attendant. Shortly before 1 o'clock this morning Dowie became delirions, and his talk was the same as at re- ligious meeting In the days of his prime He denounced people with the old time vigor, ordered the guards to throw out disturbers, and acted just as he had on so many previous occasions. He gradually became weaker and weaker, and the attend ant telephoned for Judge Barnes, who reached shiloh house at 2 q. m. Forty minutes later Dowie died
 No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral. The death of Dowies was unexpected. A large nuaaSee ao.sallsSefs and others gath, cred at the Shiloh house.
 Mrs Dewie. Judge Dowic, the prophets" father, and his son, who are at Ben. McDhua" Mich, have been notified, and are expected at Zion City today. Judge Barnes. who was at the bedside of DOwie is member of voliva's council, but re- mained friendly to Dowle, believing him to be insane and not responsible for his actions. Dowie'ss wife. father and son held the same view and 1t is therefore believed. though they were estranged. that they will attend the funeral.
 John Alexander Dowie was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, May 25. 1S47. Tn 1860 his parents removed to Adelaide, Australia, where for seven years the youth was clerk in business house. Here Dowie de- veloped the commercial instinct that served him so we'll later. in life. He saved enough money during this period to return to Edinburgh. at the age of 20. to take a i've years course in theology and the arts. He became a master of Greek and He- brew, and cultivated literary taste that resulted In after years in H. brary of 10000 volumes. with which he was thoroughly familiar.
 After six years of denominational activity. Dowie forsook his church and in 1878 went to Melbourne, where he set up a free Christian tabernacle and organized divine healing association. He became its president and gained fame by going

 The Christian Catholic church in Zion City was formally organized in February. 1896. Dowie becoming gen. eral overseer. Four years afterwards Dowie announced that he was Elijah the Restorer, spoken of in Malachi.
 Previous to this Dowie had marked out his plans for Zion City. Six thou sand acres of land were purchased or secured by options and in August of 1901 the first building was erect ed in Zion City. which a year later had a population of 10000.
 In Zion City as we'll as the church Dowie was supreme. The title of the 5000 acres rested in him.
 In December of 1903 Zion City was placed under control of a federal re- ceivership. which was dissolved week later on Dowie's presentation of ability to pay dollar for dollar for all indebtedness. Dowfe then esti- mated the value of his holdings in Zion City at s25.000,o0O. Since then the values of the various industries are believed to have increased to s2s. .00o. 900.
 Eighteen months ago Dovie began the promotion of a second Zion City In Mexico. While engaged in this undertaking his health failed and he went to Jamaica shortly before Christmas. 1905. for his health. While there he suffered a stroke of paralysis It was at tafs time that he appointed Wilbur Glen voliva general overseer of the church. A month later voliva had all the prop srty belonging to the church trsns- ferred from Dovie to Overseer Granger. charging extravaeance and zroa mismsnagement by Douie.

FLAWS LETTERS
Jerome VIII Make an Effort to Have Mrs Thaw Produce
 Them In Court
DELAYS ANGER THAW

New York, March 9.-Another week end gap in the Thaw trial. brought on by the sudden determina- tion of the defense to end its case with the picture of the grief-strick- en mother on the stand fresh in the minds of the jurors, was welcome relief to jurors, lawyers and others who have had to wrestle with expert testimony for many days. Harry K. Thaw, the defendant, was displeased over the decision to adjourn, as he thinks all delays rob him of so many days of freedom, which he feels sure will come as result of the jury's verdict.
 District Attorney Jerome Is spend- ing the recess time in preparing his plan of rebuttal It seems almost certain that he will recall Mrs Eve lyn Nesbit Thaw to the stand and thus make her witness for the prosecution as we'll as for the de- fense. He caused her to be served with subpoena yesterday. MT Jerome wants her to produce certain letters which Stanford White wrote to her, and which he believes are still in her possession. When she was on the stand she was doubtful about whether the letters were still in existence. MT Jerome, may con- front her with the testimony of her brother. Howard Nesbit, and may ask her to explain how she forgot to mention posing for certain photo- graphs and a statue which are said to be not so conventional as those she spoke of in her previous testi- mony.
 In just what order the witnesses for the prosecution will be called in rebuttal has not been fully decided upon. The probable witnesses, be- sides Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, are Dr Francis A. McGuire. the tombs phy- sician, who has maintained an almost constant surveillance over the pris- oner during his confinment, Drs Flint, Macdonald and Maben, the al!enists. F. w. Longfellow, who was Thaw's confidential counsel; May Mo- kenzie and Mrs c. J. Caine. friends of Mrs Thaw, and probably Abe Hummel. Howard Nesbit and Charles Hartnutt. The latter was for years Confidential secretary tosiWhits and. as such knew much of Whites &C., qlaintAncea with Evelyn Nesbit and other young girls. Hartnutt can tell about the trust funds White es- abolished for the benent of Mrs Har- ry Thaw and her mother
 Mir Delmas went to New Jersey last night and will be the guest of Dr B. D. Evans. one of the defense's alienists, over Sunday. He is par ticularly fond of sleighing and will devote most of his time to that sport. The other counsel for the defense will also be out of town over Sunday. MT Jerome will not leave the city.
 When the trial Is resumed on Mon- day it will be five weeks since the actual taking of testimony began, and seven weeks since the case was first called iR court. The expense both to the state and the defense, has been heavy. particularly to the defense. As an instance, 1t may be mentioned that Dr Britton D. Evans, the principal alienist, is reported as receiving $200, a day. Dr Charles G. Wagner $150 day. and Dr Graeme NJ. Hammond and Dr Smith Ely Jel- liffe $100 a day each.
