The fire started in the room of Ju lian S. Miller, editor of The News and before it was extinguished the entire contents of the editorial room the Associated Press room, and tho proof reader's room, were burned or badly damaged. Several typewriters were included in the wreckage that resulted from the flames. The fiact that The News building is fire-proof probably saved the pi per from a severe loss last night.

UNDER US OWN ROOF k (Special to The Dispatch.) Raleigh, N. C, April 5 The Ra leigh Jhristian Advocate, which has been li. stockholder in the Mutual Publishing Company that issued it, the Biblical Recorder and many other papers, has been incorporated under the name, Raleigh Advocate Company. The editor of the Raleigh Christian Advocate is not in town and the ex act meaning of the change doesn't ap pear in the corporation papers. The company amends its old charter to run from 50 to 90 years. J. G. Brown, Henry A. Page, Dr. W. P. Few, M. T. Plyler and Rev. Dr. M. Bradshaw are the representatives of the North Caro lina Conference in the interests of which The Advocate exists and will be run. The purpose of the Advocate to withdraw from the old corporation has been known to many Raleigh peo ple a long time, the new business ar rangement is no surprise to the citi zenship which has been in the habit of holding an earvlo the ground occu pied by the Methodists and the Bap tists who sponsored the Mutual. It isn't telling a thing out of school and it isn't telling a lie when it is "ru mored" that the Baptists never have liked the arrangement so very -well; never particularly warmed over the conference's habit of re-electing an nually the Rev. R. L. Davis as super intendent of the Anti-Saloon j Leagues The Methodists - similarly felt a trifle alien In the company $f bo many BaF listsThe Advocate held ia third of the Stock but Brother Massep and- BrptheV Davis in the Mutual building wern't nearly so formidable as -Brothers Livvy and W.-N. Johnson; Brother E. L. Middleton, Brother J.- W.' Farmer, Brother W. F. Marshall, Brother Clarence- Poe. But this isn't telling anything. There) is really no room for argument. It is understood that The . Advocate will is sue under its own flag and remain as it now is in style. Portrait Presented The portrait of the late Dr. Henry T. Bahnson was presented to the Norths Carolina hall of history Wed nesday by the North Carolina Medical Sdciety, Dr. George Thomas, of Wilmington,-making the address. Col. J. Bryan Grimes presided and accepted the handsome , painting for the State. Many Winston-Salem peo ple were here. Colonel and Mrs. F. H. Fries, Frederick Fries Bahnson, son of the doctor, Miss Pauline Lisette Bahnson, daughter, and other rela tives, of the physician. Colonel Grimes in taking the pic ture from Dr. Thomas, referred to the, splendid story of "The Last Days of the Confederacy," written by ; Dr. Bahnson who was quite as famous as rasonteur and writer as doctor. The whole ceremony was in .supremely good taste. Dr. Thomas had a man about whom he could have talked for hours interestingly, yet he chose to offer the pleasing picture of this able genius in the fewest words" and Colonel Grimes abstained from , long eulogium. Bishop Cheshire, of the Episcopal Church, offered prayer. The exercises, devotional, presenta tion, Acceptance and inspection of the portrait took less than an hour. It was the best done of All these recent events. Jordan Released. W. W. Jordan, held here for inves tigation in connection with . violation of the blue sky law in the sale of stock in the Empire Steel Company, has been released on the recommen dation of Commissioner James R. Young. Mr. Jordan is Minister Jordan now. He satisfied the Pitt county people and is down in Rocky Mount satis fying Virginians today. Mr. Youug had nothing against him after he squared with the Pitt people. Mr. Jor dan says he can do the same thing for them all. He is being given the chance. Meanwhile the search for J. F. Armiste&dj the real genius of th (company, goes uninterruptedly on. tThe State Department is after him hpt and appear to gain not ground on him.
