Founder and Deposed Leader of Chris­ tian Catholic Church Dies Almost ̂ of His Re- ft,-! -j" *4! . markable . , Chicago.--Jo6n Alexander Dowie, founder of the Christian Catholic Apostolic church, died at 7:40 o'clock Saturday morning at Shiloh house, in Zion City. He died like the fighter that the was, with his face to the foe, unafraid. v Before the end came he forgave his rebellious followers, and his final words, which could not be understood distinctly, contained a reference to Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who succeeded him as general overseer and wa%re- garded bitterly by Dowie as an in- grate and a usurper. To the awe-stricken faithful few who wept at his bedside he promised that he would return to earth in a thousand years. He died as he had lived, a firm believer in his exalted position. Wife and Son Not at Bedside. Amid the former scenes of his greatness, in the heart of the com­ munity founded entirely by his genius and magnetic personality, the self- styled prophet died unhonored and al­ most akure. S&ere were with him less before coming to Chicago. He and hit friends always declared that he left Australia in order to enter a wider field. It was repeatedly charged, how­ ever, that he was compelled to leave to avoid apprehension on the- part of the authorities. Real Career Begins in Chicago. At first his evangelistic efforts in Chicago were of a limited kind. He passed twb years laying the founda­ tions of his work and it was not until the fall of 1£92 that he was noticed in the newspapers. A born actor, he studied out those things that he had grown to realize made food for the n|ns columns and using the ridicule that was at first heaped upon him as evidence of perse­ cution, he made this as a plea for sup­ port. The faster he grew the more he became a subject for newspaper notice and with consummated skill he deliv­ ered his addresses an hurled his phil­ ippics in order to hold that notice and, if possible, develop It. When he came to Chicago it was then the seat of numerous seats and ....

His wife and son, repulsed last November, when they endeavored to see him, were at their Michigan home, Ben McDhui--practically all that remains of the vast estate gath­ ered by Dowie--when news of the death came. The man who had healed others could not cure himself. His Indomita­ ble will was forced to submit to the disease which had had him in its grasp for the greater part of two years. His faith in his own restoration to health was powerless against the effects of paralysis, dropsy and a complication of diseases. 8tory of Hia Life. Born of Scotch parentage in 1847, John Alexander Dowie as boy was a member of the presbyterian church. Little is known of his .early life. He went to Australia in 1878, when he was 31 years old, pnd there began his career as "divine healer" and evan­ gelist that in little over a quarter of a century made him the head of the Zion church, with a following of over 50,000 in every country of the world and the virtual master of property valued at $21,000,000. Had he been able to carry out his Mexican planta­ tion scheme, the largest of his later year plans, he would have increased his property to nearly double its value at the time of his death. Practices His Divine Healing. He passed ten years In Australia, most of that time in Melbourne, and it was there that he first began practic­ ing divine healing. When he went there from Scotland he believed he possessed healing powers and his first trial was upon himself. He declares he cured himself of chronic stomach trouble. Reassured by this success, he went among the victims of the putrid fever that broke out in Mel­ bourne shortly after his arrival there, and it was always one of his boasts that be cured hundreds of sufferers. In 1888 he left Australia and, with wife and children, landed in San Francisco, where he lived two years The shah left 6(H) widows.

Apparently the thing for the people to do is to get under the mow and let it blow. "religions," but with only twjior three minor exceptions he is the only one of the leaders of the cults that succeeded. During the time of his growth his meetings were attacked fn many places and broken up. Dowie was many times arrested and put in jail. Stones were thrown at him and his followers and at one meeting held in Evanston the city authorities turned the fire hose on him and his band in order to break up one of his meetings. Founding of Zion City. His first great business venture was the purchase of the old tabernacle building at Fourteenth street and Michigan avenue. After he had occu­ pied this "building for several years, filling it nearly every Sunday, he de­ veloped his plans for the founding of Zion City. The north shore theocracy is laid out on a tract of land consisting fof 6,500 acres, having a frontage of two mile3 on Lake Michigan and a depth of six miles, being crossed by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. In 1900 Dowie took a trip to Pales­ tine, where he passed several months going over the Holy Land. A few years later he made a special trip to New York city, taking with him 3,000 of his followers. This trip was his first failure. The press of the city so bitterly attacked him, showing up his past life, his career in Australia and other places, and he was finally vir­ tually driven from the city because of the hostile reception. The cost of the pilgrimage was enormous and was a severe drain upon his' finances, and when he returned to Zion City h<s was broken in health and spirit. It was shortly after this that his health began to fail him and he made several trips to the Bermuda islands and Mexico for the purpose of re­ cuperating. All efforts failed. It was while he was on one of these trips to Jamaica and old Mexico that he appointed Wilbur Glenn Voliva as overseer, giving him a general power of attorney, and through this appoint­ ment brought on the revolt against him and his excoroipunigaUOft from the church. * RULES AGAINST OIL TRUST 8T. LOUIS ORDER OF 8ERVICE 18 SU8TAINED. - Jurisdictional Compel Appearance of IndictedMagnates and of Non-Res- (dent Witnesses Upheld. " St Louis. -- A decision written by Judge Sanborn and concurred in by Judges Hook, Vande ven­ ter and Adams, sitting 4n the United States circuit court for the Eastern district of Missouri, was rendered Thursday, overruling the motion of at­ torneys for the defendants in the gov­ ernment's case against the Standard and auxiliary oil companies and speci­ fied individuals to vacate the order to bring in nonresident defendants and to quash the service upon them of subpoenas. Over a month ago a motion was filed by the defendants to the effect that it was not in the jurisdiction of the St. Louis court to compel non­ resident witnesses to come here and testify in the suit. Arguments were heard before Federal Judges Sanborn, Hook, Adams and Vandeventer and the point at issue was taken under advisement. The attorneys for the oil companies and the oil magnates set up three rea­ sons why those not residents of the eastern judicial district of Missouri Should not be compelled to come here and testify in ^ ̂ gov­ ernment's case. J 1 . They were: 1. That the court was without ju­ risdiction to make the order bringing them here. 1 l. That the order was premature and irregularly made. 3. That the ends of justice did not require that the non-resident defend­ ants should be brought into this suit The decision overrules thepe mo­ tions. There are several defendants in all, Including Rockefeller, Rogers, Flag­ ler and six other trust mkgnates and 61 companies or corporations, which are the Standard Oil company of New Jersey and its subsidiary companies.

Washington. -- A statement was issued by the department of jus­ tice Thursday concerning an opinion submitted to President Roosevelt by Attorney General Bonaparte as to whether certain immigrants who were landed in South Carolina last fall are legally in this country. The opinion, in effect, is that the immigrants were entitled tb admission to the United States,, and that they are in this coun­ try legally. This opinion agrees with that rendered on the same case by Solicitor Earle, of the department of commerce and labor. The attorney general holds further, however, that under the provisions of the recently enacted immigration act, the immigrants in question could have been excluded. Strike-1« Pn tn Jkan- • itucky City,^'- 0 Louisville, Ky.--With the exception of the suburban lines entering the city and a few cars carrying United States mall to and from Hhe post of­ fice substations, not a street car moved in Louisville Sunday. The strike of the union employes of the Louisville Railway company, which had been pending for over a week and which was declared Saturday, became effective at five o'clock Sunday morn­ ing. At that hour the "owl" cars, which bad- been in operation during the night ceased running and none of the union men showed up at the barns to begin their day's work. Although there were left nearly 300 employes out of a total of 1,100, who were not members of the union at the time the strike was called, and part of these, showed up for work, the com­ pany made not the slightest attempt to run passenger cars. Only the pos­ tal cars bearing the signs "United States mail" were operated and suf­ ficient force to man them was ap­ parently secured without difficulty. The men operating them were not mo­ lested in any way. The details of po­ lice at the barns, etc., had nothing to do. The demands on which the strike is based are: A ten-hour work day, with 22 cents an hour pay; 45 min­ utes for meals; pay for extra work to begin when repcrt for duty is madef time and a half for overtime; subse­ quent employes to be. allowed -to join the union, and a board of arbitration. WILL J. DAVIS SET FREE. punishable for Iroquois F|ra»/Or- ydiitance Being Defective. - • Danville, 111.--Will J. Davis was freed Saturday of all legal guilt for the Iroquois theater fire- in Chicago that cost 596 lives on December 30, 1903. Judge Kimbrough, while declaring that Davis might be morally guilty, decided that Davis was not legally guilty, because the Chicago building ordinances were defective. The jury, so instructed, promptly returned a verdict of not guilty, and the sheriff was directed to set Davis free. This decision of the court makes it practically Impossible to indict Davis again.

Entirely. «*• Louisville.--Violence resulting to injuries more or less severe to nearly a dozen persons; the feeble and spas­ modic operation of less than 100 ears for a few hours under Inadequate and lukewarm police protection, and the development of an apparently general pro-union feeling on the part of the general public marked the second day of the strike of the union employes of the Louisville Railway company. Few if any of the cars Operated Monday were patronized and ; a num­ ber were stoned. As a general thing, however, the crowds that thronged the streets near the car barns won their point of driving the crews off the cars by merely surging forward, and ordering the men away. \ Superintendent Funk of the street railway company denied that any pro­ fessional strike-breakers had been sent for and stated that all extra men hired- so far were residents of Louis­ ville and vicinity. He said that 225 men reported for work Slonday. Nev­ ertheless it was learned that about 100 men to take the place of the strikers have arrived in the city from towns in Kentucky and Indiana, and also a number from Cincinnati. Mr. Funk declared that the first batch of cars sent out Tuesday morning would carry two policemen aboard each one and that if the crowds could be kept moving the service would be extended during the day. Monday was distinctly the strikers' day, as the difficulties of the street railway company Increased after the first hour the service was attempted. At one o'clock in the afternoon at­ tempts to maintain service within the city limits were abandoned and three hours later the suburban lines were also given up. , • In addition to the great inconveni­ ence to people living in the broad- spread city, about 3,000 suburbanites spent the night in Louisville, owing to the abandonment of service on their lines. Clashes between the strik­ ers anS their sympathizers and the police and strike-breakers were nu­ merous during the day . and several people were injured. JEROME BLOCKEO BY DELMA8.

Thaw, District Attor­ ney Jerome Monday came to a temporary, standstill against the prac­ tically solid wall the rules of evidence have built around the story of Eyelyn Nesbit Thaw. Mr. Jerome began to attack this story as soon as court opened in the morning. There ensued a well-nigh ceaseless battle between the prosecutor and Delphin M. Del- mas, the leading counsel for the de­ fense, at the end of which Justice Fitzgerald upheld the rule laid down at the beginning of the trial--that young Mrs. Thaw's story wa% admissi­ ble only as tending to show the effect it might have had in unbalancing the defendant's mind, and that its truth or falsity is not material. , The district attorney caHed ten wit­ nesses during the day, but aside from drawing from the state's eye-witnesses to the tragedy the opinion that Thaw seemed rational the night he shot and killed Stanford White, little real head­ way was made.
