PASTOR FORCED
TO GIVE RECORD
DR.. Mcdaniel Answers Unjust
Criticism by Mrs. Jones at
Buchanan Hearing.

The Times-Dispatch received the
following statement for publication
last night from Rev. George w. Nc
Daniel, D. D.:
In your report of the testimony
given by Mrs. Lula Reins Jones in
the Buchanan investigation the fol-
lowing language occurs: After Pastor
Too.-Dr. Mcdaniel, she said, the pas
tor of the church to which she had
belonged since she was eight wears
old, and in which her father was a
deacon for thirty years. had refused to
help her
This makes the, impression upon
those not otherwise informed that the
First Baptist Church and pastor have
neglected needy member. The facts
are that Mrs Jones had been aided
regularly and literally by the church
during the entire term of the present
pastorate. She Is now receiving over
SIS per month. The church pays IS
per month on her rent, sends her
$3.50 per week in groceries, and also
pays milk bill as approved by a Wis
iting nurse. The treasurer's books
show that she has received hundreds
of dollars from the church.
Furthermore, 1t Is the policy of the
First Baptist Church to render all
necessary aid to its dependent mem :
bers, and they have no occasion to call
upon the Associated Charities. DR..
Buchanan understands this thoroughly
and there has been no conflict with
him. OF course, the members of this
church contribute to the Associated
Charities as a duty and privilege apart
from. church contributions.
What Mrs. Jones said about nv not
visiting her is q matter Of little con
Germ. In refusing to see her except in
the presence of one of my dea.ons.

| and of the church.
Her family have been devoted mem
hers of the church of which I am pas
tor, and ! regret that | cannot say al

Miss Mary Napier. eighteen years old.
of 1894 West Broad Street, last night
about Q o'clock after attacking the
girls mother.
When Mrs. Lula Napier tried to pre-
vent tho man from attacking her
daughter, Howard dealt her stun
ming blow in tho face and 1eaped upon
Miss Napier. Whipping out his pocket
knife, he slashed her on the arm and
then stabbed her in the left side. The
girl screamed and shouted for help.
Mrs. Napier called until assistance
came. Howard then left,
Sergeant Shoemaker, Patrolmen Shep-
pard and Tate were notified. The OFF,
GERS hurried to the scene OF trouble.
They met Howard a short distance
from the Napier home and placed him
under arrest. He was taken to the
second Police Station. and charge or
felonious cutting was entered against
him. An additional charge of assault :.
ing and beating Mrs Napier was later
preferred
Filled with jealousy.
According to the police II seems that
Howard has been visiting Miss Napier.
He recently became Jealous OF her.
Last night he met the girl and her
mother near Bowe and Broad Streets,
and began upbraiding Miss Napier. He
started to 20 toward the girl at the
same time threatening her. The moth
err blocked his way. He then struck
her with his fist, inhicting painful
wound over Mrs. Napier's eye. Crab
bing the girl by tho hand, he attacked
her with the knife.
Mrs. Napier and her daughter were
attended by City Physician GambriIl.
IT was said that the young woman's
injuries are serious. but not necessarily
fatal. Warrants were sworn out by
the mother and daughter for Howard's
arrest.
When locked up Howard denied he
cut Miss Napier. He admitted he
pushed the girls mother to one side.
He said he had been going with" the
young woman for three years, and bc-
came ansered because Mrs. Napier
would not let him get to her.
Effort was made to secure hail for
Howard, but his friends failed to do

TRUST BIG STICK
FAILS TO Terribly
Threat Now TO Build Spite
House Not Likely to Be
Carried Out.
REASON FOR IT TOO PLAIN
Brooks Reminded That syndi-
Gates Biggest Productions
Appear at Academy.
REASON FOR IT TOO PLAIN

To those familiar with the theatrical
situation in Richmond, the latest cry
of the theatrical trust, which does
business under the firm name and
feet that the syndicate is prevented
from sending many Of Its best shows
to Richmond by the limited stage space
at the Academy of Music is ,laughable,
to say the least. Ever since the ques-
ton of the open door was first
actively agitated in Richmond, the
trust has been fighting tooth and nail
to keep the Academy of Music closed"
that is, to confine the attractions pre-
scented in this house to the offerings
of Messrs. Klaw & eErlanger.
AS soon as the fight is lost, and Jake
Wells persuades the directors of the
Leath Theatrical Circuit that the pub
lie wants the houses of the circuit open
to the attractions offered by the in
dependents, down comes Joseph Brooks
from New York with n big stick up
lifted, in the form of a threat to build
a new playhouse. This gentleman, the
accredited representative of klaw &
Erlanger, after stating that Jake
Wess and Grcanor Neal will be
sorry" further proceeded. according
to published interviews. to explain why
his trust didn't want the Academy OF
Music anyhow, for the reason that the
stage was not large enough to ac
commodate some Of the syndicate's best
attractions. Now comes the question:
What attractions can he possibly re-
fer to?
Does brooks Forget Thcscf
1t will be remembered that klaw &
Erlanger have for years 'played up"
Ben Hur" as the biggest production
in this country. which 1t probably is.
and vet that was produced on this same
"small" stage, and with three chariots
in the race scene. Only in one theatre
has larger number been used, the
Auditorium, in Chicago, where the
stage allowed the use of five. Again.
the trust has widely advertised
"Humpty Dumpty' as the biggest of all
musical cStravaganZas, carrying more
people. more properties, more costumes
than any other show. This also was
played at the Academy of Music. Then.
again l.. II. Sothern's proud Prince
was played with full properties on this
stage, and 1t would be hard to build.
or even to imagine, heavier produc-
|
Brooks had in mind Kentucky Boy
blue Grass" silver star" The Air
King" The Pearl and the Pumpkin
or 1.-The White Cat" as attractions that
! his trust could not send to Richmond,
and he is doubtless right in this, for the
reason that they are all so big that
they have been consigned to the store
house.
After all. so far as the playgoers in
Richmond are concerned. the situation
is this: In spite of all the efforts OF
Klaw & Erlanger, Joseph Brooks and
others, Jake Wells has won his fight:
the Academy of Music and the other
houses in the Leath circuit Will be
open" next season, and the chances
are that the public will have an op-
portunity to see more shows and bet
ter productions than they have been
offered for many day. w. D. u.
