CHICAGO. March 9. John Alexander Iowle died at 7:40 this morning in fchn'oh Houe, Zion City, after an at tack of delirium, during which he talked as though at one of his relig ious meetings. The delirium seized liim shortly before l o'clock this morn ing:, and he talked as In' his prime. He denounced people with the old-time vigor, ordered the guards to throw out disturbers, and acted juft as he had on so many previous occasions. He grad ually became weaker, and the attend snt telephoned for Judge D. N. Barnes, who reached Shiloh House at 7 A. M. Korty minutes later Dowie was dead. There were present only Judge Barnes and two personal attendants. Religious Servlces.HaJ Ceased. Jt had been Dowle's custom all Sum mer and Winter to hold religious serv ices every Sunday afternoon in the parlor of Shiloh House. About 350 of his. original followers remained faith ful arni attended these services. Dowie always wore his apostolic robes and made a characteristic address. Five U-PAWa sfTA thoaa moot inno nanc?A4 n n 1 "Howie appeared no longer in public. The Sunday meetings, however, were still held by bis adherents. Since that time Dowie had been gradually failing. Friday afternoon there were no indications of approach ing death. He received a few follow ers and prayed for some people. His condition seemed to be about the same ws for the last two or three weeks. One of the attendants remained with . him until midnight and was relieved by t ho other attendant A large number of followers and others gathered at Shiloh House to present their respects. Voliva Praises Dead Enemey. Judge Barnes, who was at the bed side of Dowie, is a member of Voliva council. but remained friendly to Dowie; bellevlngr him to be Insane and not responsible for his actions. Dowie's wife, fattier and son held the same view, and it is therefore believed though they were estranged, that they will attend the funeral. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, head of the faction opposed to Dowie; at first re fused to make any comment on Dowie's death but luter in the day reconsidered his determination and declared that the death ' of the former leader will not affect the future of the church in any auverse manner, j-ie saia: Because of Dr.' Dowie's sad mental and physical condition, he has been a hindrance in many ways. Now that he is gone all bit ter feeling. Just or unjust, will disappear. Dr. Powie has done a work for humanity which in some respects is second to none that has been done by anybody, past or present. Nothing will be heard but talk of his good deeds especially If it should he proven that Ms mind commenced to fail several years ago. His death will not alter the conduct of the church. Telegrams were received from Dow ie's wife Hnd son. announcing the departure from Muskegon. Mich, for Zion City. The funeral will not be held sooner than Tuesday. STKAXtiE CARER OK DOWIE Jlecomes Head of New Church, but f Dethroned. March 9. (Special.) A fs Dowie, the founder and generVi ovfrseer of CatholUMirch in Zior the Christian iion. He was born In Edinburgh May 25, 1S47. Although he became a naturalized American citi zen, he always was proud of the land of hl birth, and nts ..u.uu Summer home near Montague, Mich., where his 'retin ue of servants awed the natives. hore the Scotch name of Ben MacDhui, This home recently was sold under the hammer. In 1S60 Dowie's parents removed to Adelaide. Australia, where for seven yearn the youth was a clerk in a busi ness house. He saved enough money during this period to return to Kdin burgh at the age of 20 and pursue ; five years' course in theology and the arts. He became master of Greek and Hebrew, and cultivated a literary taste that in after years resulted In a library of 10.000 volumes. While studying for the ministry he developed his faith-healing theory. He made up his mind from rending the Kib!e that Christ meant to cure the body as well as the soul, and th prayer' and the laying on of hands would do what was required. He was his own first patient. He fell ill of stomach trouble and the doctors gave him up. Then, he said, he read his Bible all one night and prayed to be cured, and he was cured. In IS 72 Dowie went back to Aus tralia and for six years was pastor the Congregational Church of New town, a suburb of Sydney. He served one term of five days and another 30 days for holding temperance meet lngs on the street without the permls ion of the Mayor. lie foraook hi church and ia IS went to Melbourne, where he set up a ree Christian Tabernacle the first of . its kind and organized a divine heal ing association, which afterward be came international. He became presi- ent of this association and gained fame by going out into the country during the prevalence of the putrid fever and apparently effecting many ures by prayer and the laying on of hands. After 10 years in Melbourne Dowie decided to remove to England, hilt hanged his mind and came to America. His enemies declared his real reason for leaving Australia was that he was driven out by the authorities, who ob jected to his new doctrines. Dowie landed in San Francisco in 888, without money. He needed $250 and had just told his wife he had asked God for It," he said, when a man he had not seen in months came along and put the amount in his hand. Two years of wandering along the California coast followed, and then. one day in 1890, Dr. Dowie, his wife, his son. Alexander John Gladstone Dowie. and his daughter, Esther, ar rived in Chicago. Ills Invasion of Chicago. For a time the Dowie family resided in Evanston, while the evangelist tried to pet foothold in Chicago through cottage meetings, the results of which were most discouraging. Then a church was estab lished in Englewood. When the World's Fair opened Dowie had a wooden tabernacle in Woodlawn, near one of the entrances to the grounds, and here daily meetings were held. At first the attendance was meager, but his fame as a healer began to spread, and the lame, the halt and the blind swarmed to the tabernacle for ministration. Crowds that could not find room within stood outside, trying to see and hear through the doors and windows. ' By the residents of the: neighborhood the tabernacle was regarded as a nui sance, and after, the ; fair they rose in arms against Dowie. He needed more room and moved downtown. Persecution Brings Prosperity. The year of persecution" came in 1895. Dowie was arrested a hundred times for violation of city ordinances relating to the care of the sick, but he never failed to obtain bail. He won in the end, but his expenses for counsel and court charges were $20,000. The more trouble was made for him the more he prospered; Branch c.urches were established in other cities; large hospital was built in Chicago, a college for the training of missionaries was organized, a printing plant put in operation, a bank started. In the memorial address on the fifth nnlversary of the institution of his work n Chicago, Dowie told his congregation that he had made J.000.000 out of Zion. The money had come from the men and women before him. Many of them were In poor circumstances, yet when he told of his wealth they cheered, and said God Intended he should have the money. His followers numbered thousands, and 11 who entered Zion. whether capitalists or laborers, had to give the head of the church one-tenth of their incomes. They were obliged to forswear the use of to bacco, drugs and liquors, and affiliation with secret societies. Mobbed, Tarred and F'eathered. Persecution of the Zionists was not con fined to Chicago. In Mansfield, Ohio, they were tarred and feathered and driv en from the city. Dowie forced his elders and deacons to return there time after time, but in the end he ordered them to evacuate "Devilsfield. At Hammond, Ind., Dowie himself was nearly mobbed. and several of the zion Guard were wounded bv flying missiles. In Evans- ton, at a later period, the fire hose was turned upon exhorters and exhorted In the effort to break up a mob that had gathered at an open meeting in the public square. The Christian Catholic Church In Zion, the outgrowth of the original interna tional Divine Healing Association, was formally organized February 22, 1S. Dowie becoming general overseer. It was not until four years afterward, June 1901, that Dowie, before a large audi ence at the Auditorium, announced that he was Elijah the Restorer, spoken of in Malachi. "Pounding of Zion City. Previous to this Dowie had marked out his plans for Zion City, the crowning ef fort of his life. In 1S99 he began the pur chase of land near Waukegan. Options were secured on about 6500 acres without the identity of "the purchaser or his plans being discovered. The plans were made public January 1, 1900, and in July, 1901, the lots were se lected. A month later the first building was erected, and in March, 1902. Dr. Dowie took up his residence in Zion City, which, a year later, had a population of i000. In the city as well as the church. Dowie was supreme. The title of the 6ow acres, bought with the money of the sect, rested in him. Lots were leased, not sold, and 1 probably no leases ever issued in any com- j munity compared-with those given to the ; residents of Zion. Running for 999 years, they were filledj with restrictions like the ionowing: "The premises shall never be used for slaughter-house, distillery, saloon or beer garden, tobacco store, opium joint, gambling establishment, dance hall, cir cus, pharmacy or drug store, office or residence of a practicing physician or surgeon, place for selling pork or secret society meeting place." ICulcr Over All Industries. Laee factories were established as the leading industry. Kxpert workers were brought from Kngland, and the plant be gan operations under the personal direc tion of Samuel Stevenson, an fcjiglish manufacturer, who had been converted to Zionism and married Dowie's sister. After Mrs. Stevenson's death Dowie and his brother-in-law failed to agree, and the latter threatened a receiver ship. A settlement was made with Stev enson, however, for about $100,000. and he returned to England. A large candy factory, a box factory, a brickyard and various other industries were established in Zion City in due time. Although stock was issued to the amount of $400,000 for the establishment of the lace factories, the stockholders surren dered all power of administration to Dowie. The contract under which stock was sold provided: "The shareholders shall have no right, without the express permission, of John Alexander Dowie. to examine the books of the said Zion lace industries." Expansion Proves a Failure. In 1902 Dowie began buying land in Texas and Mexico, with a view to estab lishing Zionist colonies, and his Invest ments there so hampered him that on December 1. 1903. Zion was thrown into the hands of a receiver. This officer was discharged a week later. when Dowie showed his ability to pay all debts. The value of Zion was then placed at $25, 000.000. In the Fall of 1903 took place the inva sion of New York City by Dowie and an army of thousands of Zionists. The hosts traveled by special trains, Dowie with the pomp of royalty, with the intention of converting the wicked metropolis. The trip was a spectacular failure, both re ligiously and financially, the amount of monev sunk being between $700,000 and $800,000. New York treated it as joke. Dethroned by Voliva. In 1904 he made a mission tour of the world and on. his return took the title of "first apostle." In 19u6 he was stricken with paralysis and went to the West In dies and from there to his colony in Mex loo. He remained there far into l!Hi and appointed Wiibur Glenn Voliva his dep uty, with full power of attorney. Voliva won away the people of Zion from their allegiance to Dowie and induced them to repudiate him, even his wife and son turning against him. Dowie was even ac cused of polygamy and teaching that doc trine. He returned to Zion, vowing vengeance. Lawsuits followed and the court, ordered an election to choose be tween the two leaders. Voliva won, but Dowie was allowed to retain his house and made occasional addresses. Articles of His Creed. . , The following four articles constitute the basis of fellowship in Zion: 1. That we recognize the infallible in spiration and sufficiency of the holy Scriptures as the rule of faith ana prac tice. 2. That we recognize that no persona can be members of the church who have not repented of their sins and have not trusted In the Christ for salvation. 3. That such Dersons must also be able to make a good profession and declare that they do know, in their own hearts, that they have truly repented, and are trusting the Christ and have the witness, in a measure, of the Holy Spirit. 4. That all other questions of every kind shall be held to be matters of opin ion and not matters essential to cnurcn unity. In the. earrvine out of this creea uie peculiar belief of the sect appears. Purity of soul and body are sought by absti nence from all food, drink and drugs held to defile. Purity is attained tnrougn ine healing of the body of all diseases which, it is held, can be accomplished by the power of God. Personally Dowie was imposing, but in his public utterances and exhortations he exhibited temper contrasting strangely with the popular conception of a prophet. PLEAD HARD FOR TRUST Michigan Copper" Men Appeal to i Governor, to Allow Combine. DETROIT, March 9.-Governor Fred Warner today- gave a public hearing on the bill passed by the Legislature this week to prohibit Michigan raining com panies from voting any stock they may hold or acquire in any ourci nFotinn whiih nt the time of such t purchase is operating a producing mine. The bill which awaits the Governor's sig nature was avowedly aimed to prevent the Calumet & Hecla Copper .Mining -uin-n.n frnm vntine its shares in the Osce ola. Ailouez and Centennial Companies at the annual meeting of the latter companies next week, when it has been understood the Calumet & Hecla is to take control of the three small companies. A large delegation of mining men and c. lzens from the upper peninsula copper -unnfrv rame here to oopose the signing of the bill, and a further hearing will be held by the Governor Monday afternoon at lousing for the benent 01 representa tives of the iron mining companies. For mer Circuit Judge Norman H. Haire, for the past two years manager 01 tne us ceola. mine, and Herbert Bowen, an attor npv of netrolt. snoke In favor of the bill. and Vice-President T. F. Livermore. of the Calumet & Hecla. who came from Boston to plead with the Governor not to sign, declared that should the act under discussion -become a law it would end investments on the part of himself and his associates under the corporation laws of Michigan. The opponents of the bill begged the Governor to send it back to the Legisla ture for reconsideration, on the ground that it was snap legislation enacted with out due discussion. They criticised the management of Os ceola bv the Bigelow syndicate and su perintendent McXaughton of the Calumet & Hecla. One of the criticisms repeatedly urged by different copper country men against the Bigelow sysndicate was that it allowed its sales to be mangaed 'by the United Metal-Selling Company on a com mission. Colonel Livermore. vice-president of the Calumet & Hecla. in replying to the Im putation that the Calumet & Hecla in tends to shut down the Osceola, Ailouez and Centennial mines as soon as they have been acquired, in order to curtail production, declared the aim was to ex pand these mines and make them pro duce more copper. He said that in the La Salle mine the Calumet & Heula Com pany had what was known as the Kear sarge lode, which produced a great in crease. Three mines which it was pro posed to acquire, he said, lay in a direct continuation of the La Salle, and the four mines could be developed more econom ically with a community of interest.

First Lord- of the Admiralty Baron Tweedmouth delivered a speech at Oxford tonight in which he referred to the fact that the government was receiving considerable obloquy from the untruthful statements regarding its action in the matter of The Hague peace conference.

LONDON, March 9. The internal af fairs of Persia, which, according to of ficial information, are far from satis factory, are being closely watched by the officials of the Foreign Office here, while it is hoped that the intervention of the powers will not be necessary, Great Britain and Russia already have decided on the steps to be taken by them in such a contingency. Great Britain anticipates that, should tne condition of the country reach critical stage, the Shah, who before he ascended the throne frequently called on Russia for financial assistance, would seek Russia's help to restore order. The Russian government could comply with the request with the full knowledge that no objection would be made by ureat Britain. Russia may even offer assist ance without the Invitation of the Shah, an offer which Great Britain would ad vise the Persian ruler to accept. Great Britain would do her part by sending warships to the Persian Guir ports, but she would not go further un less the landing of a force Decame nec essary to protect foreigners in Southern Persia.
