ton, Miss, Scene Of Warm Debate.
Lumberton. Miss.-In an hour and
fifty minute speech before the east
Mississippi Baptist state convention
recently held here Henry Allen Boyd.
secretary of the Sunday School Con
gress and son Of Rev. r. II. Boyd.
d. D., secretary of the National Bap-
fist publishing board, completely an
initiated the Rev. Sutton Z. Griggs,
who preceded him in two hour and
ten minute speech before the same
convention. The Rev. Mr.. Griggs was
supporting the Incorporated side Of the
national Baptist convention and con-
demning the national Baptist publish
ing board at Nashville, Tenn.
In the course Of his argument the
Rev. Mr.. Griggs reviewed long list
Of accusations against DR.. Boyd rela-
tive to his attitude and conduct of the
publishing board. In answering the
Rev. Mr.. Griggs, Henry A. Boyd com
pletely demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton Of the magnificent audience, using
his own language. that REV. MIR.
Griggs was not only false in one state
ment, but false in his entire presenta-
ton." Rev. Mr.. Boyd presented the
deeds and transfers to the property as
his first proof that the charges were
false. These deeds and transfers were
passed upon by an eminent white law
yer Of the Mississippi state senate.
who declared after thorough exam
tnatfon that every deed and transfer
was correct.
Step by step Rev. Mr.. Boyd tore
holes in his opponents speech. finally
working Rev. Mr.. Griggs up to the
point where he lost his temper, and.
with a mad and frantic look on his
face, he advanced toward Mr.. Boyd,
who smilingly waved him OF and told
him to take his medicine. President
Lee Of the convention admonished Rev.
Mr.. Griggs that Rev. Mr.. Boyd had sat
quietly and smilingly throughout his
(GriggsD address and had shown him
every possible courtesy.
The president insisted upon Rev. Mr..
Griggs taking and keeping his seat
while the Rev. Mr.. Boyd poured. as 1t

conclusively to every minister on the
floor of the convention that the Rev.
Mr.. Griggs. like many of those in his
camp, is n monumental failure"
He showed that the Rev. Mr. Griggs.
his opponent. had collected thousands
of dollars OF the peoples money under
the guise Of building a theological sem
mary and that he could not show 500

theological seminary Where is the
peoples money? What have you done
with it?" said Mr.. Boyd. The conven-
ton went wild. and Mr.. Grggs became
more excited aud angry.
At the conclusion 1t was the unani-
nous opinion Of the east Mississippi
convention that David had killed Go
Hath and that the national Baptist
publishing board. with II. II. Boyd A.
secretary. at Nashville. Tenn. would
continue to get the support Of the Ne

is giving employment to scores Of Ne

FEAR PARK BOARD WILL BE CATSPAW IN CRANE

 thoroughfare, for a good many years It became doubIy important one when F. 1T. Barnum reclaimed the meadows at it's western end and built the dyke ever since known by his
 name. That was long before the Crane Co. built a factory there. Bar mum was a far-sighted man. He could see Seaside park long before any other Bridgeporter. He could foresee it's growth as no other Bridgeporter He had dreams of a, Seaside park extend ing to and including Fayerweather's Island. Today the park board is p1an- ming to carry out those dreams.
 tIt is mighty interesting, by the way, to note that a grandson of P. T. Barnum is now member of the park board, is interested in extending Sea- side park. I am wondering is he likely to be a catspaw of any man or any concern in an attempt to pre- vent the people from having access to Seasidep ark in the most direct and convenient way.
 Several years ago, the Crane Go. decided it could use South avenue, west of Iranistan avenue, in it's busi- ness. It attempted to have the board of aldermen discontinue that they should not be deprived of this avenue leading so directly to the western end of the park.
 Then the Crane Go. closed up a passa ageway which the people had long used from South avenue to the Barnum dyke. This was a short cut and saved some bad travelling. The Crane Co. claimed it 1was on their property and put up a fence. Some how or other that fence, or gate, was torn down. And people kept using
 the short. cut. But the Crane Co. still claimed ownership of the land it
 crossed.
 t'The city decided to test the matter
 in the courts and the city attorney, on l instructions from the board of alder
 men, brought an injunction suit | against the Crane Co. to prevent the
 closing of this pathway.
 l That injunction was still before the
 court in August of 1914, when the city 1 built a sewer at South avenue and Iranistan to relieve conditions in that
 vicinity. It was going to be to the
 city'S advantage to have that sewer
 cross the Crane Co.'S land and empty into Cedar creek not far from the i Junction of the two avenues.
 gro do this, it was necessary to
 make some arrangement with the | company and there were long nego- | tiations. Finally in October, less than l a year and a half ago, an agreement
 was signed. The city was allowed to cross with this sewer. The Crane Co.,
 was allowed to fence in the tract where the pathway had crossed. f'But the most important thing was 1 that the Crane Go. agreed that South avenue was a public thoroughfare di- 1 rect to it's junction with the Barnum dyke, agreed to it's continuance as such and agreed to put both South avenue and the dyke into condition i for travel.
 1 E'That seemed to settle the matter and the folks who had been vigi1ant to protect the city's interests, supposed l the plan to close South avenue had l been definitely given up.
 Now the Crane Co., renews it's eff fort to grab that avenue. No one ean blame the company for trying tc get all it can. But the public vii

TELEGRAPH WIRES GUT, NO TlDINGS OF FATE or
 TWO YANKEE AvIATORS

| Fl Paso. Tex, March 22.-News hat communication had been re-estab- 1 ished with the American and Car ranza forces operating against Fran l cisco Villa, is. awaited with interest I today as is also information regarding the late of Lieutenants Robert H. Will 1 lis and Edgar s. Gorrell, of the first aero squadron, who disappeared while attempting flight from Columbus, N M., to General Pershing's field base at Casas Grandes.
 Early today, according to despatches rom Columbus, the wireless station there was >In communication with the held stat1on at Casas Grandes. Word was received that makeshift set had I beed installed but after a few mes sAges had been exchanged transmits sion failed again.
 { The wire continued useless. Mexi- lean officials have conceded that the i Severing of teIegrap phic service between Ouarez and Casas Grandes probably was accomplished by bandit raid on 1 the Mexican northwestern railroad. In some quarters here there has been a disposition to believe that Villa sym path1zers may have cut the ground wire laid by General Pershing on his march -SouthWard from Columbus. If this is the case, it is said there would be good reason to fear for the safety of Lieutenants Willis and Gorrel1.
 
 at which the two officers disappeared. It is suggested they may have been compelled to descend and may have fallen into the hands of some of the wandering bandits.
 The fact that Willis and Gorren car ried only three days rations and two small canteens of water added to the anxiety over their mishap.
 1 Early today it was believed by the American authorities that communi- cation between the Carranza head quarters at .Juarez and Casas Grandes soon would be re-eStablished.
 For the first time in it's history the Limited States army now has a motor Itruckl line operating regularly between a field force and it's base of supplies Trucks are now in commission ac- cording to word from the base of sup plies at Columbus. The operation of u @ line is similar to that of a rail- road, both express and local trains be- ing run.
 The express trains carry only SUD- plies for which there is an imperative demand directly to General Pershing's forces, while the locals convey staple supplies to the field base Two divts- ions are being maintained, the first extending from here to the field base and the second from there to the camping place of the field force. For slower freight, wagon rains are being run but the large part of the supplies Is being transported by motor.

BORDER IS STILL QUIET.

Washington, March 22.-Gatest off cia1 advices from the American expe- ditfonary forces in Mexico say that General Pershing and his men are close to Villa and his outlaws. All despatches told of the cooperation of the Carranza soldiers in the band chase.
 Despite unofficial reports of unset tied conditions in the interior of Mex ico and along the border, Secretary Baker said that although the situa- t1on was fraught with many possibiIi- ties, to date there had been no unfa- vorable developments. In response to a request from General Funston, addi-. tional troops are being sent to the bor- der.
 The fifth cavalry squadrons at Fort Myer, Va, Fort Sheridan, H., and Fort Leavenworth, Kas., and the 64th infantry at Fort D. A. Russell, FWyo., were under orders to start south to- day.
 In official circles, it was said today that the protocol proposed by Carran- "a to govern the pursuit of Villa by the international forces will be in force within a few rays. Acting Sec retary of State Polk and E1izeo Are dondo, the Mexican ambassador desig+ nate, have virtually agreed upon the terms of the. proposed convention.
