Henry Spencer Booth, who has resign ed from the pastorate of the Cen- tennary Methodist Episcopal church,of Morristown, today gave out an open letter addressed to Bishop William F. Anderson, of Chattanooga, president of the Holston conference, of which Rev. Mr. Booth is a member. In the let ter he says he is cutting in earnest at the “roots of the evils tlxat are sap ping the vitality of Christianity,” and he begins on his own denorrdnation. He aifirms that there is “too muc i watered stock in Methodism; that preachers and other officials had sta tistics as to the number of conver sions, etc., to make fine showings in reports and to “maintain prestige;” that the church has “gone daffy on ‘or ganization’ and machinery,” and thus “largely crushed and ground the very life out of what real religion we have bad.” After expressing cordial personal es teem for Bishop Anderson, the letter which is lengthy, concludes: “I am after the ‘system.’ I call on Methodist preachers every\vhere who are weary of acting as puppets in the toils of a great ecclesiastical machine, to unite in opposing the abuse and es pionage to which they are constantly subjected and to protest vigorously and forcibly against the oligarchy.” Rev. Mr. Booth declares he will can'y his campaign into every state in the union. WILL IGNORE AN INSULT TO To Probe Corruption Charges. By Associated Press. Charleston, W.

By Associated Press. New Orleans, Jan. 26.—The report ed capture of Ceiba, Honduras, yes terday by the revolutionists under Genei'al Lee Christmas, the American soldier of fortune, is the beginning of the end of the revolution, accoi’d- ing to the majority of the members of the Central American colony here. An attack on Puerto Cortez is believ ed to be the next step in the revo lutionary campaign. Ceiiba is one of the most important poi'ts in the country, the customs revenues amounting to thousands of dollars annually. The Bonilla faction will now be in control of the custom house and this, it is claimed, will afford financial aid in carrying on the revolution. According to mem bers of the local Honduran colony, yesterday’s defeat of the Davila forces will cause wholesale deser tions to the revolutionists. It is predicted here that General Bonilla, v.ho did not take part in yesterday's fight, is mobilizing his forces for an attack on Puerto Cor tez, which is practically the only place of importance on the Atlantic coast that the revolutionists do not control. The government army "was in com mand of General Matuti. In view of the report that some of the Hunduran rebels were fieetling to ward Salvador, President Figuera of that country has reiterated previous orders for guarding the frontiei'.
