ORANGE, N. j., May S.-FolloWing
what some called the too hasty' res
ignation of the Rev. George H. House,
pastor of the West Orange Baptist
church, the controversy has ended in
action by the Morris and Essex Bap-
fist Association recommending the
disbanding of the church.
The congregation met today to take
action, and is now discussing the
question. It is said that the recon-
mendation OF the association will be
concurred in, and that the church will
become a mission under control of the
North Orange Baptist church, the
mother organization.
The pastor was impelled to resign
by reason of the failure of the con-
gregation to keep what was in effect
an agreement made a year ago to call
him a second time, following a year
of satisfactory service. In the holiday
season there was an entertainment in
the church at which some of the small
boys made themselves unWelcOmed by
their prankS, and the pastor attempt

BoWRON WILL GET
 BIRMINGHAM OFFICE

Birmingham. Dec 7.-(special. )--- The nomination of James Bowron as postmaster for Birmingham is expected to be sent to the Senate Wednesday.
 It was agreed several days-ago at a conference between Postmaster Gen. eral Hitchcock and the State Republi- can leaders that Mir. Bowron should be given the Birmingham plum.
 The term of Postmaster J. Rivers Carter. the present incumbent. expired last March. but the appointment has been held up for several months on account of the contest which arose be- tween Postmaster Carter and Joseph H. Montgomery. At a recent conference both Messrs. Carter and Montgomery were eliminated.
 i. It Is probable that along with the name of Mir. Bowron the President will sent in the nomination of Pope Long as United States Marshal of the North ern District of Alabama. Mir Longs term does not expire until next month, but 1t is generally conceded that he will be reappointed.

MIR. DE OWES ACCEPTS
 CALL TO BATON ROUGE

Birmingham, Dec. 7.-(Special l. Rev. Raimundo de Ovies. rector of St Andrews Church. has resigned to &C., cept call to the Episcopal Church at Baton Rouge, La.
 His announcement to this effect has created such general regret among his parishioners that a special meeting of the church members was held tonight at o'clock when formal protest against his leaving was made.
 The call from the Baton Rouge church is fiattering one. especially since Baton Rouge Is the capital city of Louisiana and 1t is there that the State University is located. The church is regarded as one of themost influ- ential in Louisiana.
 Mir. deOvies has been rector of St Andrews Church for four and one-half years. For six months prior he was in charge of the St. Andrews mission Before that, ne was in charge of St Johns Church. Ensley. so that for a number of years he has been active in the Birmingham district.
 He is graduate of the University of the South, accepting a call to Flor ence soon after leaving that institu- ton. It was at Florence that he was ordained to the priesthood.
 MT. and Mrs. deOvies and their two children are widely known in Birm- ingham.

 Complaint has been made to the au- thorities here. and officers from Gull man have been set to look out for the illegal traffic of the liquor. which re- suited in the arrest of several men. charged with violation of the prohibit ton laws.
