~ OWE BACK WITH A $100,000 CONVERT She Is a Beautiful Swiss Girl and There Was a Rumor on the Lucania that She Is the Bride-Elect of the “Prophet Elijah’s” Son. Passengers Complained to the Captain of an Affront Offered Them by Dowie in the Smoking-Room, Where He Ob- jected to Cards and Tobacco. “Elljah TL." who appeared on the parcengor list of the Cunarder Lucania as John Alexander Dowie, “Eiljah's’’ wife, Jane. bisand her unkiesed son, A. I. Gladstone Dowie, and a bodyguard arrived in this city to-day from Enx- nd, accompanied by “a million-dollar ponvert.” ‘The convert’s name is Miss Ruth Hofer, @ beautiful Swiss. She ts a Bionde and in appearance anything but a Zlonite, She ts of medium height, with large blue eyes, a glorious head of hair and a superb figure. Miss Hofer was kept to the fore by “‘wlljah,” who when he was asked how hhe had ever induced her to adopt his beliefs sald that converts were no nov- elties; not even converts worth $1,000,000, which he claimed the young woman pos- vonses. Bride of Unkissed Sonf There was a report that Miss Hofer was the wife of the unkissed son. On t ehpassenger list appears the name “Mrs. Gladstone Dowle."" The ship's people say that ng “Mrs. Gladstone Dowle’ appeared among the passen- gers on the way across the ocean and that the absence was commented upon. No one in the party referred to Miss Hofer as ‘Mrs. Gladstone Dowle. The “Mrs, Gladstone Dowle” booking was made at Liverpool, and passengers believed that the marriage of ‘the un- kisned son had been arranged to take place on the other side, but that it was prevented by the hurried flight which Elijah and his party had to make, and that a few days or weeks will see him led to the altar in Zlon city. When the unkissed one was asked whether he was married he became red In the face after the manner of his Hire and shouted: “Mind your own business. Go and ask the people on the ship.” “Who is Mra, Gladstone Dowie?” “Go away, co away!"" The Lucania sailed from Liverpool on Saturday afternoon last at 4.30 o'clock, and Dowle and his outfit kept pretty quict until Monday evening. A number of the passengers were in the smoking-room, some playing whist. others at hearts and various games of cerds, when a oiping infant voice eame through the open doorway. “Peace to thee," it sald gently. The players turned and saw Dowls, and when he felt that all eyes were toward him he shouted: Hin Kindly Warning. “You stinkpots! You lost to God atinkpots! Stop playing cards this in- stant and throw those vile cigars and cigarettes away! I warn you now be- fore it 1s too late!” A committee passengers walted on ‘the chief officer and chief steward of the Lucania and asked if they were to be ins@lted that way. They were told that such actions as they complained of would not be tolerated, and Dowle was put to bed for the night, with a sharp reminder that he would better, keep a still tongue in his head. He did until ‘Tuesday evening, when the cone in the smoking-room of Mon- day was ropeated, and Dowie was again told, but in sterner and strong sailor talk, that when a ship's officer on the high seas ¢old him to do a thing that it wovld be best for him to do x0. ‘The plain langungs used to Dowle on Tuesday had quieting results so far os the #moking-room was concerned. He kept away fromm that part of the ship, Dut he tortured the rest of the passen- gers, who did not flee at his approach, with’ an Incessant chatter about “Elijah THT.,” Zion City and the industries of his Iilinots wettlement. He told those who were not Informed about him and ‘ork that he had ‘15,000 people in Bostock Tried to Train Him.

He caught “Elijah's” eve for a second. es, I am eating candy, brother,” answered Dowie. “I am very fond of candy, but I never eat any but what made ‘in Zion, I carry it with me all the time.” Bostock turned away hopelessly, When the ship reached Quaranune to-day a telegram was handed to him which read: “You tame lions; why don't you trv Dowle?” but the showman mai further effort to get near “Flljah.

A tug castying friends and ‘employees of the showman went down the to greet him, and at the sound of their Approach Dowle put ead out of his stateroom, When he saw what it was he turned pale and locked himself in, not appearing on deck again until the was being warped into her pier. sMiah 41.) greeted the newspaper men’ with, “You. whelps, what do you want now?

I have made thousands of converts on this trip—500 in. one place.” “Elijah” and this wife and “Col.” Stern were driven from the plier to the Fifth Avenuo Hotel, —$<——a BARGE OFFICE MEN GLOOMY.

THRONGS WAITED TO SEE PASSAGE TO-DAY. Victims of the Exoursion Trag- edy Now Number 915, of Whom Only 832 Have Thus Far Been Identified. At the last moment this afternoon the Merritt-Chapman Wrecking Company decided to postpone the towing of the wreck of the Blocum to Erie Basin until to-morrow. Thts decision was reached after all had been made ready to start at 1 o'clock. Crowds gathered on the banks of the East River and on the Willlamsbure and Brooklyn Bridges all afternoon awaiting the passage of the wreck of the death ship, and the melancholy sight would have been accorded them but for the fact that the hull was not considered tight enough to warrant such a trip untll repairs could be attended to. The tugs will pull the Slocum from off Flushing flats at 8 o'clock to-mor- row morning, She should pass under Williamsburg and Brooklyn bridges from an hour to an hour and a half later. At Erle Basin she will be thor- oughly searched for bodies and then broken up, after the removal of ‘the machinery Three bodies were recovered at North Brother Isiand to-day. « 'To Fix Respon: The Federal Grand Jury has been called for Thursday to consider the Slocum disaster and place the criminal responsibility. ‘Thia announcement was made by United States District-Attorney Bur- nett after a conference between Coro- ner Berry, Assistant District-Attorney Garvan and Mr. Burnett. Mr. Burnett further sald that he would ask the Federal Grand Jury to find as many indictments as possible. Those persons indicted will be charged with criminal negligence and will be prosecuted for violation of tha Federal laws, ‘The District-Attorney's office and Cor- oner Berry will assist Gen. Burnett in the prosecution, and the evidence ob- tained by them will be presented to the Federal Grand Jury in addition to that already secured by the Federal authorities, No Action by Jerome. No action will be taken by the County District-Attorney in the mat- ter at present, the evidence so far se~ cured pointing exclusively to violations of the federal laws, which places the prosecution outside the realm of Dis- trict-Attorney Jerome. The Coroner's inquest will, all probability, not be concluded until Tuesday, Coroner Berry having de- cided to take the jury on Monday to visit the wreck of the Slocum. ‘The list compiled by the police un- der Inspector Schmittberger of those who were on board the Slocum at the time of the disaster was completed to- day and turned over to Commissioner McAdoo, It Includes the name and fate of evéry man, woman and child that sailed on the excursion.
