REV. ]. G. ADAMS
In JAIL In TEXAS
Prohibition Speaker Said to Have
Refused Two Public Squares and
the City Hall at Victoria and
Would Speak in Street.

The San Antonio, Texas, Express
of May 1 publishes dispatch from
Victoria, that state, telling of the
arrest and incarceration of the Rev.
J. S. Adams, which in all probability
refers to the Rev. J. G. Adams OF
Mena. The report follows:
"The Rev. J. S. Adams virtually
broke into the city Jail today and is
apt to remain there long while if
he does not change his attitude.
"The Rev. Mr.. Adams attempted to
deliver a speech while standing in
the middle of the busiest part of
Main street. He was advised by City
Marshal Hotzhiser he was violating
city ordinance and was asked to
desist. lie did not, however, and
was arrested by a deputy marshal
and taken before Mayor Craig.
"The mayor, after consulting City
Attorney Dupree, read and ex-
planned the law to Mr.. Adams and
told him he was at liberty to use
the city hall or either of the public
squares in delivering his lectures.
Mr.. Craig then ordered his release.
"As the minister was leaving the
mayors Office he declared the OIL
Ger might just as we'll lock him up,
as he was going back on the street
and speak. The deputy marshal
started TO take him into custody
again, but the mayor interceded and
promised to stand good for the min
lister.
AS soon as released however, the
preacher made good his threat and
in short time was i'll the jail. He
claims he violated no law and says
he will stay in Jail until the author
tiles voluntarily release him. He
has refused all offers of bond.
The Rev. Mr.. Adams is an intelli-
gent-looking, Incorporating gentle
man of about 60 years. He says he
is a native Texan and has resided at
Fort Worth, Dallas, Cleburne and
Brownwood. He has been living for
the last few years in Mena, Ark, for
the benefit of his health. He says
he is a regularly ordained Metho-
dist minister and has devoted the
last twenty years of his life to the
prohibition cause.
The Rev. r.. V. Hummer, the local
Methodist minister, is providing him
with every comfort during his in
generation and furnishing him
meals"

When the article above was re-
ferred to Mrs. ]. G. Adams, the lee
turer's wife, who resides at 1912
Church avenue, she stated that she
had received a letter from her hus-
band dated Victoria, Tex, May 2, but
in it no mention was made of any
trouble with the city authorities
there. In fact, Mrs. Adams says
that Mr.. Adams seldom tells her OF
these troubles at the time, and that
she has long ceased to worry about
them. This is about the twenty
sixth time, as she remembers, that
her husband has been put in Jail
for delivering prohibition lectures
on the streets of various cities. OF
all these arrests he has never paid
a fine, and Mrs. Adams thinks that
twelve hours would cover the en-
tire time he has spent in Jail.

to letter written at Tecate last Mon,

The rebels are in full possession

without regard to their business. They
have already shot five and they burn-
ed two last night whom they captured
in the skirmish they had at Carrizo.
They have had two skirmishes and
some have been killed, but it is not
