S.T-In a lengthy printed statement Issued from Shiloh House in ion City yesterday, John Alexander Dowie replied categorically to charge of immorality, extravagance, misrepresentation, misuse of invest ment and polygamous teachings made against him by Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who deKsed him from authority and usurped his place a leader. Replying to the charge of immorality, IWic declared that he had demanded of Voliva time and time again that the charges which Voliva made against his moral conduct lie made public, and that each time Voliva had refused to comply. "Before God and man, 1 ay I am with out taint upon my personal purity," be asserted. "If there is aught to the contrary, let them stand forth and prove it." The charge of polygamous teaching in the fni of hi public teaching for j curs and his printed addicse. he de claivil. to be absurd and foolish. Answering the charge of extravagance, Dow ie said : "The general nver-eer and first apos tle of the Christian Catholic Church in Zion must necessarily in his represeia tive character, u-e mine funds than a private individual in Zion. To say that I have made wilful and extravagant use of money in connection with my pri vate affairs can only proceed from an enious and malicious source." After denouncing Voliva and leading officials of Zion who joined the revolt as "Men who are guilty, confessedly, of the rank and the dishonesty, the basest deception and the most monumental in gratitude," Dowie appealed to those In Zion still faithful to him to aid finan cially in his fight to regain leader ship.
