PASTORS HOUSE BURNS
AFTER HIS INDICTMENT
SaIoon-Fighting Clergyman
Figures in Strange Series
of Events at Fort Worth.

FORT WORTH, Tex, March "a few
hours after Rev. J. Frank Norris, pastor
of the First Baptist Church, had been
indicted on the charge of perjury his
home burned down last night. 1t came
as mysterious sequel to an equally
mysterious chain of events, in which the
saloon-fghting Baptist minister has fig
ured. The most startling development
came last night. when, accused of per-
jury, Norris was charged with having
written letters to himself in which he
was threatened with death if he did not
leave town.
Norris first attracted attention here by
campaigns for enforcement of prohibit
ton laws. Then he declared an at
tempt had been made to assassinate him.
This was followed by the destruction of
the First Baptist Church by fire. Norris
reported second attempt had been made
on his life after this, and he travelled
with bodyguard. Then he exhibited
the warning letters which the grand jury
declared last night Norris wrote himself.
His charges attracted a great deal of
attention to his church work.

In his address Mr.. Montague took up
the problem of conservation of business

results which, he said, were shown by
the methods employed in the boot and
