Lebanon Baptist church, Dormont, Pittsburgh,” to which he was called about the first of the year. Deacon C. Edward Smith and Mrs. Smith received with the pastor and his wife in Bushnell chapel, where over lvv of the members and congregation were present, the stormy evening no doubt keeping many at home who would have been there but for the unpropitious weather, During the evening Frank L. Arnold presented Mr. and Mrs. Pursiss in behalf of the church a purse of over $100, ex- pressing briefly the great regret that was felt by all at the severance ot the pleas- ant rélations which have existed between pastor and people. Mr. Purkiss responded feelingly, voicing his deep appreciation of the delightful at- titude that has alwgys Deen show™ to- wards him and his Wife by the o speaking especially of the cor and § whole-hearted support that has lLeen given him by the board of managers, and saying that he heartily wished he might be able to take the whole active mem- bership of the Norwich church to his new field.

Mr. Purkiss has held pastorates and it is understood tha tit was largely through this man's in- fluence and solicitation that Mr. Purkiss’ attention was invited to the new pastorate and he was induced to accept it.

Spalding, former income tax head in the revenue office in New Haven, before Judge Thomas in the United States court that he was forced to cover up items in his expense accounts because of the fear of spies in the service, cansed a mild sen- sation in the revenue collector's depart- ment, according to the New Haven Union of Tuesday. Spalding was suspended be- cause it was charged he padded his ex- pense accounts. ‘His _explanation to Judge Thomas was that he found it necessary to conceal things in his investigations to preserve the secrecy of his mission. This statement coming from an official in the service at this time when a probe is being made by government officers of allegations' that whiskéy runners have been furnished with protection by revenue department men who have been bribed was today, says the Union, the subject of much talk both inside the’revenue depart- ment circles and with the public. There wa sa rumor that the federal probers would take cognizance of the statement made by Snalding and use it as a Jead to possible cases of bribe taking in this section. It was reported around the federal building” that some interesting develop- ments might be looked for now that Spalding has told why it was necessary for him to cover up some of his accounts. The prohibition enforcement department of the revenue department here is operat- ed separately from the tax and other di- visions. Separate quarters arc occupied in’ the federal building by the prohibition enforcement staff. Frequently there has been shifts and changes in the department that has to do with the enforcement of the Volstead act and thers has also been occasion found, it seems, for sending in outside raiders to catch whiskey runners in this district. Nohe of the officials in the reven department In this city would talk tod: about the possible developments in the Snalding case, mecording to the New Ilnen newspaper. _—mm 00 FIRE LOSS IN BLAZE AT FORT TERRY Fire loss, estimated at $20.800, was suffered .

Three privates were slightly injured during the blaze. one by having a brick fall upon his head, one by falling from a ladder, and one by having flying brands strike him. None are seriously inju ed. The loss is believed by Cql. J. Goodfellow, commander of the post to be $20,000. The fire was discovered about €.45 near the coal bunKer. The fire spread and destroyed the mo- tion picture hooth and theatre. but was prevented from spreading to the barracks, nearby, although &everal times it was believed that the bharracks wonld go. From 7 to 9.30 the boys fought hard and were rapidly becoming exhausted when the high wind suddenly died down for 10 or 15 minutes, and in that time the fire, was subdued, but it was not until after 11.30 that it was brought under full control, and not until midnight that the danger' was over. Up to that time, the wind could easily have carried the ¥parks to other buildings. Col. Goodfellow, in a terse report, stated that all the men and his officers behaved like Americans slmulrl while un- der fire. WILL OBSERVE FORTIETH .
