DR.. OLLIE IS READY
TO GIVE NAME
Will Disclose Identity of
Milliner He Accused to
Women Who Will Aid
UPROAR.

OAKLAND Jan. 31.-The uproar
raised by the milliners Of Oakland
against Rev f. R. Ollie. pastor Of the
First Methodist Church. over his as
sertion that a milliner OF this city had
urged underpaid employees to barter
their womanhood, IS decried by the
Clergyman as s'senseless"
DR.. Ollie returned today from Ct
Helena, where he had been rusticating
for ten days. He declares that the SER
mon utterances by him embracing the
statement concerning an unnamed mil
liner had been warped out OF their
true proportions" He believes that
the furore was raised for political pur-
poses. that the millfner incident was
created in order to distract attention
from an attack he made In the same
discourse upon civic. conditions. TO
which he excepted.
In short. the pastor says his passing
remarks concerning the mtlliner who
would advise young women to sell their
virtue was by no means the essential
element Of his discourse.
DR.. Ollie asserts he will stand by
what he said in relation TO the n2illiner
and her workwomen. He is stin pre-
pared to reveal the identity of that
person. but only under the original
conditions. namely that the secret be
disclosed to such women as might
prove themselves interested in &. the
girls welfare.
Here is what Mr.. Ollie said tonight:
think this whole disturbance purporting
to have been raised by the milliners OF Oakland
over the remarks made by me In recent ser
mon. was gotten up for political purposes 10
distract attention from what l had to say about
other things.
Giving the incident the prominence IL has been
accorded utterly warps the true proportions OF
the sermon and renders the whole thing sense
less. Why should any milliner feel badly over
what said? prominent physician told me
that II / denounced quaek doctor practfcing
here. no reputable physician would feel hurt
about it. On the contrary all such would be
glad. The reports which had 1t that the milliner
l referred 10 was described prominent, big,
or particularly fashionable. is false. 1 said
.milliner." and did not qualify IL in any way.
No one has been to see since my return
home regarding any further action toward re-
vealing the identity of the guilty will
stand by what l said at the time and what
said in the note TO the press which I gave out
when learned Of the uproar.
