Richmond, Va, July 15--Two echoes
resulting from the removal of Rev.
David Francis as pastor CT Third
| Christian Church are the resignation
of Rev Lester E. Groseclose as
| pastor at Fairmount Christian church
and the Withdrawal of fellowship
from II. O. Lane as {, member of the
! Third Christian Church. Both congre-
cations are reported to be in state
Of great excitement. and to be much
divided over the various ISSUES. Not
wi hstanding the evidence that he had
been removed from former chargs on
proc: { immortality, ,and that the pub
lie had .cen put on notice in regard
to him, it is stated that a considerable
faction still sides with Mr.. Francis,
and believes that he was badly treat

Mr.. Groseclose, who has been pas
tor of he Fairmount Christian church
for about two years, presented ms
resignation to his congregation on
Sunday morning, and it was accepted
t. take effect October 15. Mr.. Crosse
close came into prominence in the
Francis affair, having had personal
encounter with Mr. R.D. lnge,hus-
band of the woman Nh. Francis was
accused of having kissed. Mr.. Crosse
close is said to have criticised very
sharply the way in which The Francis
matter was handled, and as his church
in Fairmount is not far distant from
the Third Christian, at 26th and Mar
shall streets, the factional differences
and bitterness to some extent spread
to it.
On the previous Sunday-auIy
tho official board of the Third
Christian Church brought in the fol-
lcwins resolution, which was adopted:
I'VE recommend to the congregation
that we Withdraw fellowship from

DESERTED BY WIFE.
Alleged Conspiracy to Part Couple
Who Were Married by Former Al
exandrian. II 4

Richmond, a., July Is. = Thomas
Grant Walker, son of William Walker,
of 1911 Floyd Avenue, filled suit for
$4,000 in the Law and Equity Court
yesterday against H. L., Frank R.,
John L., Miss Alice, and Mrs. Alice
Ratcliff, kinsfolk of his young wife,
who, after six hours of married life
last April returned to her parents and
has since refused to live with him.
The filing of the suit brings the
second chapter of story Of tangled
domesticity which was the sensation
of day more than two months ago.
Walker, who is 81 years old, married
22-year-old Elizabeth Ratcliffe on
Friday morning, April rs, and both
left the same afternoon for Washing
ton. By the time the couple reached
Ashland, a telegram from brother of
the bride called them back to Rich
mond. The return to the city was fol-
lowed by an immediate estrangement
between the couple and the breach
still continues.
Attorney L. o. Wendenburg, coun-
sci for the plaintiff, said last night
the declaration setting forth Mr..
Walkers, grounds for the suit will be
filed next Monday. 1t will allege,
among other things, he said, that the
defendants, all of whom are kinsfolk
of the bride, conspired together to
ALLEVIATE her affections, and that they
are directly responsible for her
change of heart toward the man
whom she has married.
According to Mr.. Wendenburg,
Elizabeth Radcliffe and Thomas Grant
Walker were sweethear, for eight
wears. and were engaged for eigh-
teen months Immediately prior TO
their marriage. The defense Is pre-
pared to show, he said, that on the
night before the two were married
the girl told the young man that II
they didn't get married the very next
morning they would never be able to
do so. because Frank Ratclitfe, her
brother, would be back in town ana
would prevent it.
The plaintiff will charge, also, says
counsel. that the telegram that inter-
cented the couple at Ashland and
which caused the two to abandon their
HONEYMOON at boswell was false, and
circulated only to further the designs
of the defendants. 1t reported the
mother of the bride TO be precariously
III; and asked for her immediate re-
turn to attend the bedside. When
the two returned, tbs charged, they
found Mrs H.L.Ratcliffe,the mother
Of the bride, feeding chickens in the
back ward of the family residence IN
HIGHLAND Park, and well as ever.
Mr. and Mrs. Walker were married
on the morning of Friday, April 70,
by the Rev. ]. Calvin Stewart, d: w.
rector of Church of the Covenant
The marriage. it appears, came as a
surprise to the family, OF the orioe,
although from what could be learned
at the time, it was apparent that the
young man had been a welcome eallel
at the girls home for about two
wears. 1t was generally understood
among friends and relatives 1hae 'nes
would some day marry.

WASHINGTON.

Iris" the Pinero drama which Vir-
ginia Harmed and the William Morris
Players are presenting this week In
the Washington, Is a problem play
of cleaner vintage than most of
those being served nowadays. The
problem IL q favorite one with play
wrights. Eugene Walter, In THE
Easiest Way" did clumsily the same
thing that Pinero did with sure
hand In presenting the weak and
luxury loving woman. who finds II
possible to be mistress to a rich man
while she loves a handsomer but
poorer swain.
Iris does her best, but the struggle
Is too much for her. While her
young lover Is in Canada earning a
home. she drifts into liaison with
Madldonado, picturesque Gothic
financier, who casts her aside when
he finds that In her weak little heart
she still loves the boy. struggling
trustfully in Canada.
The ruin of Iris il poignantly com.
plete. She drags with her three men
Of varying types. Two Of them at
least, those whom abe rewarded with
her love In different ways, show that
they may survive her, and get back
their sanity, but for Iris there ia
nothing after the last scene but the
street. The worst Of that catastro-
phe Is that her. character has been
shown to be 30 luxury loving that we
know utter degradation Ii inevitable.
She has not enough strength to 60
out and end her own life.
But all this Is told by Pinero in
the terms of q drawing room con.
versation. There is none of the
Grass, blatant. profanity, the hideous
realism and frank bestiality that 10
used to tell the same things In so
very many plays Of this decade.
Miss Harmed returns to q familiar
part still equipped with personality
and wonderfully expressive voice.
She plays the part In such q way
that the theoretical part of the les
son is unmistakable.
Walter D. Greene. as Maldonado,
was excellent There seemed a
slight abruptness In his excess of
passion In the last act, but his vehe-
mence was powerful and convincing.
