MAY INVADE KENOSHA COUNTY
Claims That John Alexander Dowie
Gave Him Zion City But if He Loses
Fight VIII Build New City Adjoining
Zion.

A new town to be called Jerusalem
will be built near Zion City if James
Alexander Dowie, who has come out
Of an island in the Pacific ocean to lay
claim to the town of Zion, doesen t get
the place peaceably. He asserts he is
the only brother of John Alexander
Dowie LII, deceased ruler of Zion.
James Alexander says he is king of a
group of islands having population
of 10000 He wants Zion, now ruled
by Overseer Voliva. He wants it
through peaceable means if possible. If
not he will spend $20,000,00 in the
building of another town alongside.
At least he published a. royal proc
lamation to this effect:
Ellis majesty" is at present quar-
tered in temporary palace at 1902
Wabash avenue, Chicago. With him in
the divers capacities of interpreter, dip
lomatic adviser, minister of publicity
and "lord high everything else," is
Bishop August Schrader.
Interpreting is necessary because the
heather of Scotland is thick on the
tongue of his highness and he is not
sufficiently familiar with English as
q she is spoke' in Chicago to express
himself fuently.
Not so with the Bishop" however,
and he carried on all the conversation
today, the "king" taking but a pas
sive part. The audience was granted
in the throne room of the palace.
Ellis majesty" was present, clad in
royal robe of worn black velvet to
furnish atmosphere while the Pooh Bah
told of the PARKWAY islands in the Pa
cifc where the inhabitants go to
church in breech clouts to hear the word
from the "king."
fThese islands" said the bishop,
are situated somewhere east Of Aus
train and have a permanent popula-
ton of 10000 souls, white and black.
The king has his own churches there
and the islands are rich in minerals and
precious stones, diamonds and gold be-
ing found there in great quantities.
From these islands much of the
wealth that helped to finance Zion City
was secured by John Alexander Dowie.
He later gave these islands to his
brother, and five years ago in Mexico
also presented Zion City to him.
"Papers and documents of various
kinds in the handwriting of John AL
exander Dowie are in the possession of
his brother in his island home, and
these he will secure before taking any
legal action, continued the command
er-in-chief. "It's six months jour
ney from the United States to reach
the kingdom, and he intends to go back
there after visiting the cities of the
country"

FOR INTERESTING SESSION
Summer Meeting of the State Horticul
tural Society to Be Held

The summer meeting Of the State
Horticultural society to be held in
Oconomowoc, August 18th, promises to
be of unusual interest to many besides
the professional horticulturist. ''Back
to the Land" is the main topic and
several well known Wisconsin people
including G. B. Whitnall, city treasurer
of Milwaukee; Ernest Gonzenbach,
president of the Sheboygan Light &
Power Co., are on the program for ad-
dresses. Lest these men, city bred with
a longing for the fruits of toll should
paint the joys of life on fruit farm
in too bright colors Secretary Crane
field has arranged for discussions by
practical fruit men who will show the
other side of the picture.
A general invitation is issued to
every one to attend the meeting. In
addition to the papers and discussions
on the possibilities for city-bred man
in fruit raising, a gardening session
will be held when cultural problems
viii be discussed.

1t is expected that the government
will begin to give out the figures on
the federal census in about two weeks
but no definite date has been set BY
the heads of the census bureau and 1t
may be longer than that before the re-
suits of the work of the enumerators
are given to the public. While it is
always interesting to get the figures
furnished by the government it has
been found that the estimates made by
the directory makers and from the
school census are accurate enough for
all practical purposes and that when
there are any wide differences between
these estimates and the federal census
figures the census figures generally
show a smaller population.
The school census of Kenosha is ex-
pected to show big increase in the
number of children of school age this
year and as it is admitted that owing
to the large foreign population this was
one Of the most difficult cities in the
country for the census enumerators to
work in and that there is possibility
that the accuracy of the figures they
turned in from Kenosha may be open
to question for that reason, this city
may prefer to base its claims to a large
increase in population on the school
censLs.

SOUNDS A WARNING
ChairmanDayiesU rgesDemo-
Gratis Of State to Beware of
the 20 Per Cent. Rule
Sees Loss FOR CANDIDATES

The 20 per cent law is causing trou-
BILE for the Democratic leaders this
year and the trouble apparently will
increase instead of decrease as the
primary campaign advances. Those who
are in closest touch with the situation
say that nothing will prevent the
progressive" among the Democrats
from voting for La Toilette again in
spite of the platform adopted at the
state convention and the candidates in
dorsed there
Chairman Davies Of the state central
committee is directing all his batteries
against any such detection. In a re-
cent letter he said:
''The so-called 20 per cent law
threatens to obliterate the, Democratic
column from the ballot unless the Dem
ocrats stay in the middle of the road,
loyal to their own party. Aid and sup
port from Democrats should not in good
conscience be asked or expected by any
wing or faction in the Republican
party when a situation of their own
creation has arisen where it is a mat
ter of life or death to Democracy that
the Democratic voter remains in his
own primary"
Calls Law Vicious.
Speaking of the law, Mr.. Davies
said:
''It was conceived by the dominant
party in this state to disrupt and de
stroy the Democratic party in the
state. 1t is vicious in practice and
wrong in theory"
Congressman Weisse still sits on the
top rail Of the fence and will not in
dicate which side he will light on. In
spite of his silence the candidates for
the congressional nomination in the
Sixth district are getting ready for a
good hard fight, and on the quiet each
one will admit that the man he will
have to beat is Weisse
''I don It know as I should be so san
guine so early in the campaign, but so
far as l am able to judge my campaign
this year looks better than two years
ago, said S. A. Cook, candidate for
the nomination for United States sena-
tor, on Thursday. Mr.. Cook was in Mil
waukee on his way home from Camp
Douglas, where he visited the Third
regiment in camp there.
