License Refused.

Rev. w. W. Barnes, pastor OF the
Douglas Memorial Church. at Eleventh
and H streets northeast, said he knew
Hunnicutt well. and that a few years
ago he asked him to aid him to secure
his ordination in the Methodist Church.
Rev. Mr.. Barnes refused to listen to
Hunnicutt, who then went to Rev. Mr..
Sumwalt and made the same req Iest.
who also declined 10 listen to him, 1t is
said. When Hunnicutt's license as an
exhOrter in the Methodist Church ex-
pired Rev. Dr. Sunwalt refused to re-
new it, whereupon Hunnicutt is said to
have left the Methodist Church.
Claims are made by Hunnicutt that the
Peoples Nonsectarian Church, of which
he calls himself the pastor, is incor-
porated under the laws of the District of
Columbia. He claims he has a receipt
from the office of the recorder of deeds
proving his assertion. There is absolutely
nothing on record at the Office which
would support Hunnicutt's claim, and no
receipt was issued to him as ne claims,
it is said. The only entries on the in
corporation docket are those of May II,
1910, and December 10. 1910, showing the
election of trustees of the church and
Hunnicutt's election as pastor.
Certificate Has Seal.
When Hunnicutt applied for a minis
ters permit at the District Supreme
Court he produced a certificate signed by
Claude NJ Brown, clerk to the board
of trustees of the Peoples Nonsectarian
Church." attesting Hunnicutt to be "a
duly ordained minister of the gospel"
Attached to this certificate, which is on
file, is a big gilt seal.
Section 12SS Of the District code says
that ministers of the gospel !''appointed
or ordained according to the rites and
ceremonies OF his church and justices
of the peace. are authorized to perform
marriage ceremonies in the District of
Columbia The Rev. DR.. McKenncy, the
Rev. Dr. Sumwalt, and the Rev. DR..
Barnes declare that Hunnicutt Is not a
minister of the gospel, within the mean
ing of the law.

V|LES AND WIFE
REFUTE STORIES
ABOUT TROUBLES
Newly Married Couple Say
They Are Happy.
BRIDE rs NOW IN WEST

Sensational rumors, rife in Washing
ton during the last week, to the effect
that Eula PaIen Viles, bride of the
chief clerk of the Census Bureau, had
deserted him a month after their mar
rage, were refuted by the statements
of both husband and wife last night.
Voler V. Viles stated that everything
was all right. Mrs. Voler V. Viles,
now in Hardy, Ark, said there had
been no estrangement.
WIFE GOES TO HOME.
Suggestions that marital relations be-
tween bride and bridegroom had been
strained became constant a week ago,
when Mrs. Viles started West. Inas-
much as Mrs. Viles had been married
after a brief months courtship in
Springfield, Mo, those who knew the
couple declared that a sudden difference
had caused the wife to leave WASH
ington, and predicted that proceedings
for a divorce would be speedily issued.
This rumor received confirmation
when a dispatch reached Washington on
September 7. stating that Edward Paden,
divorced husband of Viles' wife, had
suddenly left Greenville, Tex, and was
in Arkansas. 1t was in Greenville that
Mrs. Viles-then Mrs. Paden-achieved
the sensational kidnapping of her son
last June. Those who were seen in
Greenville declared that a reconcilia-
ton had occurred and that Mrs. Viles
would soon become Mrs. Paden, at least
as soon as she could obtain freedom
via the divorce route.
All of these rumors were absolutely
denied last night, both by Viles and his
wife. The wife stated that her trip had
been merely a vacation; that she had not
seen her former husband, and that she
had no intention of doing other than re-
turn to Washington.
Viles declared that he confidently
awaited the return of his wife, that she
had left him under the most amicable OF
conditions. and that under no circum-
stances could she be persuaded to desert
him.
Bride Issues Statement.
The following was the statement issued
by Mrs. Viles from Hardy. Ark:
Il will go from this town to Oklahoma
and from thence I will travel to Wash
ington, where 1 will meet Mr.. Viles about
September 20. according to a prior ar
rangement made between him and my
self This trip was nothing but a vaca-
ton. l desired to visit relatives in the
West. and took this time and opportunity
of doing so.
There has been absolutely no estrange-
ment between my husband and myself.
We have and will be in harmony, and
no idle rumor, concocted by those who
seek to do Mr.. Viles injury, can separate
US During the entire time 1 have been
away my husband has known my where
abouts. The insinuation that l would
return to Paden, a man whom I most
thoroughly dislike, IS farcical and with
out foundation"
Viles Denies Trouble.
Scarcely less strong are the comments
of Viles on the situation.
Il do wish,' he said last night, that
ether people would cease prying into my
private affairs. OF course, I and my
wife are amicable. OF course, she will
return. There has been no reason for
any other rumOr. We are man and wife,
and our relations should not be con-
stantly exposed to public gaze. OF
course. we are happy"

Every minister of the Gospel in this
city, according to G. J. S. Hunnicutt,
the marrying parson," employs meth
ods similar to those used by him in
inducing young couples to have him per-
form the marriage ceremony.
WANT PERMIT REVOKED.
1t is charged by Rev. DR.. William I.
McKenney, pastor of the Wesley NJ. E.
Church, Fifth and F streets northwest,
in formal complaint to the chief JUS
tlce of the District Supreme Court, that
Hunnicutt is not duly ordained minister
of the gospel, and that therefore the
permit issued to him which authorizes
him to perform marriage ceremonies
should be revoked. Rev. DR.. McKenney
also charged that Hunnicutt employs
'CapperS" and runners" to steer the
matrimonially inclined into his office. and
that these ''cappers" receive a commits
sion on every couple they bring TO Hun
nicutts place.
Hunnicutt says ne is no exception to
the rule; that every minister does as he
does to secure business" This asser-
ton, however, is Indignantly denied by
a large number of ministers who were
seen with regard to the matter While
Hunnicutt denies employing ''cappers, -
he practically admits it by accusing
others of using the same methods en-
ployed by him. He denies distributing
his business cards to hack drivers, taxi
cab Chauffeurs, railroad conductors, and
others, and yet almost every couple ap-
plying at the City Hall for 6 marriage
license exhibits his card, saying It was
given to them by either a conductor or
a chauffeur or man who was standing
out on the City Hall steps with = gray
