EX-DOWIEITE A VAGRANT.

Warszawiak's Helper Magilinzsky, or Magill, Sent Up.

Max Magilinzsky, or Max Magill, one time a Jewish rabbi and later a Dowieite, was sent to the workhouse by Magistrate Cornell in the Essex Market Police court yesterday for six months on a general charge of vagrancy. He was accused of carrying on a wholesale begging business through the mails.

Supt. Forbes of the Charity Organization Society told Magistrate Cornell that the man was formerly a rabbi and was well known on the East Side as Max Magilinzsky. When Dowie came to New York Magilinzsky joined the Dowieites, becoming one of their chief workers on the East Side. Last October he and Herman Warszawiak were put out of the Dowie society by the Rev. George L. Mason, the Dowie superintendent in New York. Mr. Mason, who was in court, said that the two men were put out because they persisted in using tobacco. Warszawiak, on leaving the Dowieites, started a mission of his own at 2 Second Avenue, where he employed Magilinzsky.

Magilinzsky took the name of Magill, which he says is English for his Polish name. Warszawiak paid him $10 a week.

It is asserted that he wrote letters begging funds not only for the mission, but for his own personal relief.
