asd Gold Betere Altar and Chal-
lsages Accusers—Sponse Was
Misled, Me Says.
CHICAGO. April 30 —"1 aw glad to be
home again” With these words John
Alexander Dowle, the deposed leader
of the Christian Catholic church in
America, stepped within the portals of
Shiloh House, thus completing bis
much bernided entry loto Zien City
after an abseuce of severs! months,
during which time Le bad been desert:
#4 by a large part of bis followers and
had been stripped of all ecclesiastical
nuthority. Mrs. Dowie, the wife of the
“first apostle,” met him at the door of
Ehiloh House and gave Bim a hearty
welcoine.
Dewia's return to Zion City was veld
of all pomp aud esremony. Only a
handful of people were at the station
to greet him, aud the majority of these
were women. He was accompanied by
several of his personal attendants.
As Dowie alighted from the train he
was greeted by shouts of “Peace to
thee.” He responded with the custom-
ary “Peace to thee multiplied.”
“I bave done nothing since 1 saw
your faces,” he sald, “of which to be
ashamed. Not ote of the accusations
made against me Is true—not one. God
bless you! Peace to thee!’
Wilbur Glean Voliva and his follow:
ors held a meeting ln the tabernacle,
the auditorinm being abeut two-thirds
full. Is an address Voliva not enly de-
nounced Dowle, but Mrs. Dowie as
well. He said: "1 do net propose te
permit suy sinoer in this movement to
bescape. Do not think that Dowie Is the
only one to be salled te account. The
vex: ene will be Mrs. Jane Dowle. In
some respects she Is as great a slnuer
28 Dewie. She ls on his side today
and always bas been. The lust In her
heart for power is ss great as In bis. 1
say the wholes Dewie family must be
swept off the earth ™
This statement was roundly applaud
od
Later, standing unsteadily and with
great effort before an audience of
2.500 persons in Eon tabernacle, Dowle
charged his traduwoers, If aay went
pressut, te make their accusations be-
fore thes whele congregation.
The followers of Voliva, the new
jsader of Zion Olty's affairs, however,
were at that moment attending a rival
meeting, set for the same hour, at the
Bou college bullding.
Dowie wis borne bodily by twe stal
wart negro attendants frem an ante
room to the platform and deposited
upea his feet before the elaborates al-
tar. He was attired ln a new apos-
tollc robe of whites, gold and purple
On his head was a turban of marvel
ous pattern, embroidered In purple and
gold. He delivered his address sented
before the sitar. Oaly eesasienmally,
when roused fo an unusual piteh eof
earnestness, did be rise.
Mrs. Dowie, who bas severed ber al-
legiance with Voliva, sat in a wicker
chalr among Dowie's followers In the
congregation. Except for former Mayor
R. D. Harper, Dowie was alone on the
platform. He prefaced his sermon by
a spirited denial of the charges that
have been brought against bim by Ve-
liva and others.
Dowie paid a tribute to Mrs. Dowle.
“My wife has some noble qualities, but
she was misled and |mposed upen.
They used har until they were through
with her and then cast her aside. My
son played tricks on me which he
ought not to have douse, but he, toe,
was deceived.”

“The raliread-coal combination not

coal is sold to consumers, but seeks to
fix arbitrarily the price at which labor
shall be bought. It seems that every
couelliatory overture we have made for
a peaceful settlement bas been In:
terprated by the operators as signs of
weakness and our conservatism am evi.

“The question Is asked by the oper
ators, Where 1s the advance to come
from If it is not charged up to the con-
sumer of domastic coal? It occurs to
we that the small sdvauce proposed by
the miners might bave been taken off

them. What the outcome will be can-
not be predicted until the convention Is
