Especial Correspondence 20 Morning Journall
Deming, n. NJ, Dec. Son Sunday
morning about S:45 the barn of DR..
]. G.. Moir caught fire from an FIX
plosion of gasoline in IN automobile.
The fire department was called out
and a large number of men responded
at once. Morris Mordham's barn just
across the alley was burned black, but
buckets of water were applied until
the fire department could get the hose
attached. +. l.. Nordhaus barn also
caught fire on the roof in several
places, but a man was stationed on
top and took care of il. All of these
barns contained automobiles and DIR.
Moir's is now ready for the SCRAP pile.
All the adjoining buildings, except one
barn, one frame building and had the
wind been blowing. it would have been
impossible to save them.
A Second Fire.
Scarcely had the excitement over
the fire If DR.. Moir's barn and auto
mobile quieted, when the alarm was
turned in for another fire. The sec
ond fire was at the residence of Mr..
Al. Shutz. The chimney burned out
and by some quick, skilfull work the
building was saved from further dam
age.
Reduction in Freight Rates.
It has been reported hat on or
near the first Of the year. the rail-
road rates from Ell PAS will be cut
from 20 per cent to 80 per cent. The
rate on merchandise at present is soc
per hundred. The rate from the Pa
cific coast is $i.01 per hundred. A
20 per cent reduction from Eel Paso
will give Deming merchants n rate Of
a 2-5 per cent. This is so much lower
than the coast rates. that it is hoped
that more business will be carried on
with our own metropolis.
December 10 is the date set for the
high school oratorical contest. There
are seven contestants and the winner
will he sent 10 Roswell to represent
the Deming high school at the annual
territorial oratorical contest.

of missionary work in the philippines
In her arrangement of some or the lnsti-
tut.ons and customs introduced by the
Americans since the acquisition OF tne
islands, her report was especially hh-
pressve. She said:
Saloons at Manila.
ION the Americans entrance there We
found the natives a temperance people,
though not total abstainers. Up TO that
time the streets Of Manila were lined with
what were known as native vino shacks.
where not only vino (the wine of the
country but food was sold the natives
buying food and taking small quantity
of wine to drink as they ate their food;
but when the hue and cry all over the
land was raised Of the number of saloons
lining the streets of Manila, something
had to be done.
"A commission was appointed to IN
vestigate 1t visited those places. drank
of the wine. and if it decided the wine
was pure the saloon remained open: If ii
decided the wine impure the saloon was
closed This reduced the native saloons
greatly, but in their places rose the
larger, more attractive American
saloons.
Miss Robbins tells OF difficulties en-
countered in the temperance missionary
work, and discouraging results so far
obtained.

Rev. N. f. Jones, Co|ored Minister,
Police Court Yesterday.
ARREST BROKE UP SERVICES
After Hearing the Evidence. Which
Required Almost the Entire Day,
Mayor Thornton F. Jones Decided
That the Preacher is Not Guilty.

After spending most Of the day in
listening to the evidence of most OF
the members OF the Third Baptist
church (coiored). Mayor Thornton F.
Jones dismissed the charge OF tres
passing made against Rev NJ. F..
Jones' the pastor of the church.
Jones was arrested on war
rant sworn out by elders in the
church during the services Sunday
morning. Officers John w. Cunning
ham and Henry Curtis served the
warrant. After the minister finished
his discourse the officers accompanied
him to the Office of Mayor Thornton
F. Jones. where he gave bond for his
appearance in the court yesterday
morning.
From the testimony introduced it
seems that the board of deacOns or
the Third Baptist church Is tired of
the preaching of Rev. Jones and that
the board. without the sanction of
the congregation. in a business meet
ing. decided to dismiss him.
He was paid his salary and told
that his services were needed no
longer. The minister. however. had
contract with the church and on
Sunday he appeared to conduct the
usual worship. when the warrant was
served.
AS the evidence showed that the
minister had only attempted TO con-
duct the religious services. Mayor
Jones dismissed the charge.
Rev. A. A. Graham. the moderator
Of the Negro Baptist Association.
preached to the large crowd that as
sembled around the police court room
yesterday morning. The minister paid
his respects to the board of deacOns
Of the Third Baptist church for at
tempting to Dust Rev. Jones without
first following the laws and customs
Of the Baptist church.
The case will be taken up and aired
in congregational meeting and some
very interesting developments are an
ticipated.
