LOOKING FOR CARRANzA
UNITED STATES WANTS TO ASK
SOME QUESTIONS.
How Much Is He Responsible for Ben,
toms Death, State Depart
ment Wants to Know.


Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. 26.-The mys-
terry surrounding the movements Of
Gen. NEWSSTAND Carranza, first chief
of the Mexican constitutionalist army,
has given rise to rumor here that he
has disappeared from the state of So.
nora.
Enrique c, Llorente, inspector gen.
eral of Mexican consulates, who ar
rived here, said he left Carranza at
Hermosillo, making preparations to
come to Juarez.
Wants to Question Him.
Since the execution of William S.
Benton the United States government
has been trying to get an expression
from Carranza as to what the cOnsti-
nationalist cabinet purposes to do in
the matter.
MeXicans at Juarez scarcely conceal
their belief that Villa summary shot
Benton and then had a courtmartial
80 through the form of trying him for
attempted murder. For this reason
there is a feeling that the rebel chief,
tain will not permit any examination
which might divulgo the real truth OF
the tragedy.

We have been having here lately,
the films used 10y the management
of the Orphrum Thrat"r, were de
laycd and did not reach here until
late last night too late to bc shown
at the regular performance, but this
did not stop this able management
from giving u show, when they found
out that they were stuck, as some
would call it, Manager Shepherd
hustled around and found Mr.. Leo
nard, owner Of several state Right
films and through his courtesy was
supplied with two sets of film, all
that this gentleman had, and still
not enough to give the four reels that
the Ocphcum shows regularly 1t
was then decided that rather than
disappoint the people that did com"
out and not having enough to fill
out the regular bill the show that
was had would be given free. This
was done and the four hundred people
that did turn out, was not totally
disappointed a. the "Ohio Flood
Disaster and the Indian pictures
they did show was worth the rcgu-
lar price Of admission.

FINE CHURCH
DESTROYED
BY FLAMES
Methodist Church, Fines
House of Worship in City,
Goes up in Flames
ORIGIN OF FIRE UNKNOWN
Heroic Efforts OfFire Department
Unavailing The Surrounding
Property Saved

One of the most disastrous fire
the city ma, known in recent years
occurred this morning between 1890
and ! O'Clock when the magnificent
Methodist Church building at the
corner of Bcllyuc and Ellis streets
was reduced to mass of ruins.
No one can account for the origin
OF the ilr, bit 1t is the general
opinion that it was due to Il faulty
furnace. The ladies belonging to that
church had given Martha Washing
ton party earlier in the evening, and
when the crowd departed at about
IL o'clock every thing appeared
to be all right.
The building was of stone and was
considered one Of the most inspiring
cdihccs in Southeast Missouri. 1t
was built in the year 1906, at II cost
OF about 100000. Insurance was
carried to the extent Of something
like $4,000, and there is still an
indebtedness of about $4,000,
While the loss is lamcntablc and
should be regretted, the sclhshncSS
of spirit displayed by some Of the
leading lights of the denomination
in whose interest the church was
constructed rendered themselves not
only conspicuous, but subject to
severe criticism as well. In their
desire to save the wall Of the build
ing after the interior was hopclcssly
anamc, they attempted to usurp the
authority of which the chief of the
fire department is ordinarily possessed,
and forbade the fireman to throw
any more water on the building, re-
gardlcss of the danger still icXistng
to the ncghboring residences. 1t
is reported that the fire chief was
compelled to forcibly eject an over
Jealous attorney from the scene OF
destruction on account of his per-
sistcncc in giving orders contrary
to the interests and safety of the
surrounding property.
1t is also reported that school
teacher placed himself in such a
position Us to render it impossible
for the department to work to the
best interests of all concerned without
doing him bodily injury, and that
the chief at one time during the
excitement was tempted to get him
out Of the way by turning the hose
on him, and only dcsisted because
of the danger of causing him Il
pcrilous fall over a high wall.
None of the nciThboring residence,
were injured to any great extent
except the home of Mr.. Kmmick
Immediately north of the church
which suffered considerable damage
1t is thought that the walls o.
the church were sufficiently preserved
to render it unnecessary to rebuild
them. The arches and window
supports were considerably backcncC
and scaled, but it is not believed
at this time that there are any crack!
or breaks in the stone.
