craIa-Timberman Debate.

Rev. Venerable, Tom Freeman, John
Thomas, Mrs. M. E. Dixon, Abraham
Yeiser and Mrs. Brooks all testified
on the stand, the witnesses with the
exception of Mrs. Brooks telling pref
ty much the same story. Mrs. Brooks
proved quite a valuable witness for
the defense as far as any valuation
goes. She stated that she did not see
who had the chair when she took it
up from the floor and also identified
the chair In court as not being the
one which she had taken in the scram-
BILE and which was brought to court
by the prosecution and identified by
Other witnesses. Mrs Dixon seemed
to be mixed up In the aisles in the
church and her testimony as to Bur
toms coming down the aisle disagreed
somewhat from that of the preceding
persons CT the stand.
Towards the close of the morning
session quite a prolonged debate was
entered into between Prosecuting At
torney Craig and Mr. Timberman, at.
torney for the defense. 1t was on the
grounds of questioning witness in
a manner which Mr.. Craig called re
freshing their memory but which
Mr.. Timberman claimed would lead to
the Impeachment of a witness sub
poened by the prosecution.
Mrs. Brooks was the last witness
ana the case was continued as stated
above.

that the Blanche B. failed to come up

First Testimony Taken In Baptist
Church squabble Case and
Case Continued Until
Tomorrow
THE SOURCE OF TROUBLE
Missionary Burton Principal Defend
ant in Case Attempt to
Exccmmunicate Henry
Brooks.

The usual interesting features Of a
trial in whah the colored folks are
involved were present this morning
when the case of Rev. Williar D.
Alex Venerable. pastor OF the Seventh
street Baptist church. versus M. j.
Burton, Athel Smith, Wayne Smith.
Mary Smith. and Kate Burton occu-
pied the attention of Judge Mcnamara
in the superior court and was contin-
ued after the morning session until
2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
When colored folks break into thet
limelight of police court the specta-
tors often enjoy one OF the best min
strels of the day, as the case is usual
~ attended by plenty of testimony
either way and the witnesses never
spare words to express themselves
and answer questions, although In
many instances they would rather
plunge into a narrative than simply
answer questions in a few words.
Cause OF squatb'e.
The case this morning was the ..e-
suit of Rev. Venerable filing charges
against the above defendants follow
ing the rumpus at the Baptist church
short time ago. According to the gist1
of testimony this morning the alterca-
ton grew indir, city out of missionary
work and the attitude Of M. J. Bur
ton towards the church. while the inn
mediate cause was an attempt on the
evening in question to excommunicate
Henry Brooks from the Baptist
church. During the evening Rev.
Venerable in the course Of his talk
and following some hot words between
the members turned to the Sixth
street side Of the church and stated
that he would now address tn, decent
people of the congregation. This
seemed to anger several of those who
had relations, wives. sisters, er., on
the Seventh street side of the church
and the next thing told in court was
that M J. Burton headed down the
aisle with a chair hoisted
above his head, apparently bent on
doing bodily harm to Rev. Venerable.
| The two Smith boys are reported to
] have said, IF we could get our hands
on him we would throw him out the
window and break his neck" while
Kate burton and Mary Smith mixed
things up in general. Abraham Yeis.
er, an aged colored man and respected
member of the church, testified to
having caught Burton before he could
reach Venerable.

the stage OF water will be as the river
is In such a condition now that any
little rain will tell on its condition
very much.
Movements Of Boats.
The boats are enjoying good
freight and passenger business just
now owing to the damage done to the
railroads by the high water, as many
places where there Is no access to by
railroads are accessible by boat.

THIS MORNING.

Salina, Cruz. Mex, Dec %. - The
Mexican gunbeat General Guerrero

OF Nicaragua, who fed from Managua
by way of Corinto on Christmas eve,
locked here at this morning. Ac-
companying the former president were
the ex- minister OF war and four Mic
araguans. The gunboat arrived at this
port last night, but anchored outside
the harbor until this morning.
Not Worrying at Washington.
Washington, Dec. 27.-The docking
of the General Guerrero, the Mexican
gun boat, at Salina Cruz, with former
President Zelaya and party on board,
is not regarded as a change in the
former presidents plans. AS under
stood here 1t was his purpose at the
time he left Managua to proceed to
the City of Mexico and there is no
doubt thst will be his destination.
How long he will remain in Mexico
however is not known.
The departure Of Zelaya from Mic
aragua is not regarded in official
circles here as all conclusive that he
will escape punishment for his crimes
in that country. The United States
government has never taken any steps
whatever for the apprehension OF
Zelaya or to prevent his leaving the
country. 1t preferred to proceed with
deliberation, knowing that should his
presence in Nicaragua be required at
any. time to answer for his misdeeds
his person could be secured with little
or no difficulty.

New York, Dee. 27.-A startling
market movement that had all the
earmarks of corner" came today
when the common stock of the Rock
Island Co, within five minutes of the
opening rose from sos to 81, when it
settled back again, after heavy trad
ing to so.
All this startling pyrotechnic adj
vance of 81 points and the equally
surprising precipitation to the opening

the stock exchange, which spread it.

brokers' wires clicked that a corner"

Rock Island CO.
A block of 1900 shares was sold at
81, the top price.
Rock Island common closed az 491s

heavy selling throughout the securi-

directors of the Rock Island, and also

There is nothing in the affairs of
the company to account for the adj
vance in the price of the stock in such
a violent manner. 1t appears to be a

Governor BARS
MOVING PICTURES
IOWA EXECUTIVE SAYS THEY
ARE THE SAME AS FIGHTING
AND ILLEGAL.

Council Bluffs, Ia. Dec. 27-The
action of Governor Carroll In holding
that 1t is illegal to exhibit moving or
other pictures of prize fight has
caused decided sensation in sporting
and theatrical circles in Iowa.
The decision came about in this
manner; Parties who were operating
q moving picture theatre had made
arrangements to secure the films of
the Johnson Ketchel prize fight, but
before putting them into action con-
cluded, they had better secure an opin-
ion from the executive for the reason
that in this state prize fighting is not
only prohibited, bat participating in,
promoting or even attending a fight Is
made felony.
The matter was referred TO Cow
ernor Carroll and in reply he has stated
that under the provisions OF the state
law the exhibition OF such pictures is
positively prohibited. He goes beyond
this point and adds that the Iowa laws
specifically forbid showing any NOV
ing picture of anything illegal, con-
tinuing: IF the fight would not have
been allowed In Iowa, the picture of it
certainly could not be shown here"
That the decision on the prizefighr
picture Is more far reaching is what
is worrying the show. people. They
contend that more than half of the
plays that are put on at the theatres,
especially at those of the cheaper class,
portrays the commission OF acts that
are prohibited by the state laws. For
instance, in tragedy the commission of
murder Is frequently shown. 1t is
nothing unusual to show upon the
stage Of even the highclass theatres
all other the state the commission of
burglary, robbery and arson.
