MINISTER EXPELLED.
Baptist Ministers Settle Controversy
In Salem Church.

The Salem Baptist Colored Church, on
Champlain avenue northwest, has been in
a state Of confusion for the past two
months. the result of a contention over
charges made against the pastor. AS was
stated in The Star several weeks ago. Miss
c Crutctlfield, a young member of the
church charged the pastor, Rev. A. A Ed
gerton. with being responsible for her
downfall When the pastor learned of the
allegation he became angered and went at
she says he struck her.
a warrant was issued for his arrest. 1t
is said, but he left the city that night, and
remained away for FIVE months. During
the time the church met and declared the
pulpit vacant. The friends of the pastor
here went to work to have him returned.
They finally arranged matters SO that he
might forfeit $40 collateral for the assault,
which he did. He succeeded in being re-
elected pastor, The people Of the connu-
nifty began TO denOunce this action in such
terms that the church had to take up the
case again. But II was not until the Bap-
list ministry threatened to withdraw the
hand of fellowship from the church that
they succeeded in depOsing the pastor from
the pulpit and excluding him from the
church.
The matter has been considered by the
Ministers Association for several weeks.
Rev Geo. W. Lee, DID: Rev. ]. H. Clark
and Rev. I. Tofver We're appointed to fully
Investigate and report, and upon the
strength OF their report Rev Edgerton was
unanimously expelled from the Baptist
conference, thus ending long and bitter
fight. 1t IS said that the church is split all
TO pieces. with very little hope of being able
to hold together.

OWENS FAMILY TROUBLES.
Husband and Wife in Court and the
Former Fined.

William owens ideas about his home being
his castle were upset this morning by Judge
Scott. when the latter fined him $50, with
tho alternative OF spending ninety days in
Jail, on a charge Of wife beating. The
story Of the family troubles was a two
sided one. such stories usually are. On
one side Mrs. Maggie Owens gave a sketch
OF her alleged ilI-treatment last night at
the hands Of her husband. She told how
the cries for help had startled some of
the residents Of 'Fishtown." in South
washington. near where her home is. Her
husband. she declared. threw her down and
beat her. and. she said, ne had no provoca-
ton.
The husband thought the provocation was
great. although he I'D not admit the charge,
don't say | didn't hit her" he said
TO Judge Scott. q" cause l certainly was in
temper" "
HIS complaint was that he had Objected
TO his wife's entertaining Jennie Thomp-
son, u guest, and neglecting to feed a
boarder. The trouble occurred he said
when he attempted to eject the guest.
I'm the man OF my own house" added
Owens, and II can't rule It won't have
any"
This concluded what he had to saw. and
he was very much surprised when he heard
the sentence imposed.

HEAVY STORM IN JAMAICA,
Much Damage Done to Crops Through
out the Island.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, October 31-The
storm. which ceased Sunday, after raging
four days, and having eliminated in hurri-
cane force at several points on Saturday,
has. according to reports over the restored
telegraph lines. wrought considerable de-
struction among the banana coffee, orange
and other civilizations for export and home
consumption.
All the roads and many bridges were ex-
tenstvely damaged and house property was
destroyed, aggregating a loss of several
thousand pounds sterling. The force of
the storm, which covered the whole island.
can be judged from the fact that rainfall IN
the vicinity Of Kingston registered from
fifteen TO twenty-four inches Friday and
Saturday.

CONTENT I'M PORTO RICO
Gen. Davis Submits His Report as Gov
ernor
Major GInssfOrd's Suggestions for In
creasing the Islands Trade
Health of Troops.

The report Of Brig Gen. George W. Da-
Wis, commanding the department of Porto
Rico. was made public by the War Depart
ment today. 1t contains large amount of
interesting material on the social, COM
mercial and political conditions in the is-
lands. Gen. Davis incloses a copy of a cir
GUAR issued to the inhabitants of Porto
Rico. outlining the general scheme of MILL
tary government. which, he says, he aimed
to have conform In its general lines to the
other military governments which the
United States has been obliged to estab-
lish from time to time in conquered and
newly acquired territory.
He calls attention to the fact that he has
refrained from making anything that might
be construed a promise of what ultimate
action would be taken by Congress for the
government of the island. but he says that
his aim has been to promote the we'll being
OF the people under existing conditions. This
ne seems to have accomplished, from the
fact that a general spirit of contentment
reigns throughout the department.
Courts have been established in which
speedy trial by jury is assured. the writ of
habeas corpus has been promulgated, and
number of the obsolete Spanish laws,
which delayed the administration of jus
tice, have been abrogated.
To Increase Islands Trade.
Accompanying the report is an interest
ing discussion upon the government of
Porto Rico by Major W. A. Gassford
Among the suggestions for reform offered
by Major Giassford is one that a market
for sugar, coffee and tobacco Is indispensa-
BILE for the well being of the island
He points out that Porto Rico's trade
with Spain and Cuba has practically been
cut off, and that fairness to the inhabitants
makes il imperative to open for them a
new field Of trade. He says that a reduc-
ton of duties on Porto Rican products
entering the United States and also on
some American products entering Porto
Rico would facilitate the development Of
trade relations between the two countries
He calls the attention of American mer-
chants to the fact that in developing trade
relations with Porto Rico the peculiar
wants and preferences of the people must
be considered, as they have been used to

from those commonly used in the United
