1ALEJEI JAIL
BOTH “BISHOP" SCHRADER AND
“BROTHER" OF OOWIE HAVE
HARD LUCK.
HEALERS LAND IN PRISON
Clad In Imposing Robes They Seek
Financial Help to Unearth Vast
Fortune Which the late “Elijah"
Was Alleged to Have Buried.
St. Joseph. Mo.—A story of $20,000.
000 buried on an island in the sea led
to the arrest here of the "Rev. Bish
op" Schrader, who sometimes calls
himself Schlatter, asserting he is the
original "divine healer." and "Dr.
James Alexander Dowie. who asserts
that he is a brother of the late John
Alexander Dowie of Zion City. The
original Schlatter, as a "divine heal
er." attracted wide attention at Den
ver a decade ago.
Dowie and Schrader came to St.
Joseph about two weeks ago. Clad in
imposing robes, they held meetings
nightly In the streets and invited the
crowds to call upon them at their
rooms, where they undertook to heal
the sick by the laying on of hands,
free of charge.
One of the persons who accepted
the invitation to call upon Dowie and
Schrader was a local real estate
agent, and the healers, it is declared,
told him that if he had sufficient con
fidence in them to entrust them with
$1,200 in cash, they would make him
a millionaire several times over. The
real estate man had that confidence.
According to the tale said to have
been unfolded, upon a pledge that it
would not be revealed to another liv
ing soul. "Elijah" Dowie had $20,000,
000 in gold buried in an island in the
Gulf of Mexico, off the coast of Hon
duras. The treasure originally
amounted to $40,000,000. it was said.
The Two “Healer#.”
but “Elijah” had, prior to his death,
drawn upon it for one-half for use in
building Zion City, near Chicago.
A short time before "Elijah" died,
went the narrative, he entrusted his
brother with the secret of the hiding j
place, known to no other person, and i
it was for the purpose of financing
an expedition to go after the buried j
treasure that "Doctor Dowie and
"Bishop" Schrader wished to find I
$1,200.
At the time of reposing the confi
dence in the St. Joseph real estate j
agent, however, he was not in position i
to put up the money, and he began !
to look for someone who would ad
vance the cash to him for a few
weeks, for it was said that the trip
to the island would not take long,
although it was stipulated by Dowie
and Schrader that it be made over
land to the coast of Honduras.
It happened that the assistant pros
ecuting attorney of Buchanan county !
heard of the proposition. He caused !
a warrant to issue for the arrest of
the healers, and they were locked in
the county jail.
The day following the arrest of ^
Dowie and Schrader, and before their
preliminary hearing, a bondsman
signed their bonds for SI.000 each,
after they had paid him $200 in cash
An hour or two after they were re
leased from the jail the surety was
advised that the healers had gone :
across the Missouri river bridge. He ,
grabbed a shotgun, jumped into an |
automobile and hurried after them
They were overhauled at Wathena
six miles west of St. Joseph, forced I
to enter the automobile and return
and were then delivered to the jailer j
Snake in a Mail Bag.

i Mackler. filed suit to recover this
j property and caused her story to be
' dragged into the courts, she was
known only as an ordinary housewife,
doing her own work and receiving
small spending money from her hus
band.

t were having the same hard struggle
i with life as her neighbors, and was
j heard frequently to complain, when
trouble overtook her. that she did not
know what she would do. In hex
younger years she worked as a gen
eral servant and seamstress. All that
time she carried money and jewelry
that would have outglittered the mod
| est fortunes of her employeis.

collecting credit information tor the

ers with the compilation and check
ing up of the commitments of Urgt
local and extended borrowers has
been formulated by a committee ot
the examiners who have been meet
ing at the treasuty department. R\ery
examiner hereafter will keep for his
own use a complete file of all tarn
and extended borrowers in his d s

the treasury department tor summar
ising
The machinery available by the
comptroller of the currency w'H be
put to work to gather such credit in
formation as can be obtained from ns

and trust companies located in state*
where there is already cooperasiat
between the federal and state bank
ing officials. The examiners will not
divulge the name of the bank where
a line of credit is found of an extend
ed borrower, their special reports giv
ing the total only of the loans listed

all the banks in the I'nited States is
practical at this time. Nor is the per

be held at some central point early in
the year. These meetings would coir
