Washington, April 1. Senator Ful-

colleagues today that be would, accept
am amendment restricting the right of

clalonare momentous and require the
greatest consideration and calm deltber

'-It argues nothing against a" man's
sincerity that his ideas are fraught with
difficulties and complexities and do not
. accord with the convictlona of another,"
declared Senator fSilton, "nor would

nounced to C.000 persons in Shlloh tab

Ignored by decision of the executive of

It was admitted by . many leading
members of the church after meeting
last, evening that the incidents of the
dny marked the downfall of Dowie aa a
dictator of the church, and that thence
forth the affaire of the elty, and possi
bly the church, would be administered
by younger Jteads and handa- "
' It waa by all odds the most exciting
day In the history, .of Zlon City. A ca
blegram from Dowie ordering the dis
missal of Granger came from Mexico
City Saturday night. It was addressed
to Overseer Vollva and waa couched In
the plainest terms; 'There could be no
mistake in Its meaningr- As- an - Idee
from the Granger matter. It gave other
orders to Vollva about the administra
tion af Zlon City affairs, which proba
bly win be Ignored. Th Incidents fol

Mrs. Dowie denounced her husband
for alleged wrongs Inflicted upon her.
Deacoq Spelcher declared that, uowle Is
Insane and not to bo-trusted with the
affairs of the church or city. ' Glad
stone Dowie cast his lot.' with his
mother and the authorities, and Cast
his father off as unworthy of further
leadership. The audience gave hearty
assent to all denunaiatlona , v . .
Local Zionists refuse to believe The
report from Chicago, . and ntll they
receive positive verification from head
quarters will not accept- the faot that
Dowie has. been relieved of anv of his
authority,, either spiritual or financial.
kv. a. Hoy, pastor of the local Zion
ist church, deetarea noslttvelv that re
ports to the affect that Dowie fias been
superseded are untrue. - v
"If such action had been taken hr tha
leaders I would have been So Informed
by telegraph, with instructions to no
tify my people." he said. "I have re
ceived no such notice, and consequently
I know there Is absolutely no truth In
the reports. But I do know that there
la a disposition on the part of the press
to misrepresent -Dr.. Dowie and every
thing that pertains to the Dowie move
ment, simply because- Dr.. Dowie went
after a bunch of newspaper men once.'.,
"However. If there ia any movement
at all on foot among our leaders. It Is
of a financial nature and not spiritual.
No effort will be made, I am convinced,
to relieve Dr. Dowie of any. spiritual
authority." ,
