HAD NOTHING TOO0 WITH
MAKING OR PAYING BILLS
In News Leader As TO j. A. Conneily's
Connection With Settling Union
stores Account Due The Richmond
Nirginian,

The News Leader on Tuesday. in an
article on Union stores, Inc. used this
language:
AN advertising solicitor is au-
thority for the statement that
Connolly favored a Richmond
newspaper in which he Is n stock
holder. II was said today that
when the stores got into financial
difficulty and behind in it's pay
ment for advert sing Connolly au-
thorized the payment of 500 or
sloo 20 the newspaper in which
he holds stock and discontinued
Union Stores advertising In that
psper SO that no further indebt-
edness would be incurred there
and that the establishment ad-
b vertis,ng in the other three pa
pers, which were paid nothing at
that time, was considerably In
creased"
This statement is evidently intend
ed TO refer to The Richmond Vir-
ginian. Mr. J. A. Connolly. who aided
materially In the organization or the
Union Stores and has given much OF
his time 10 that enterprise without
compensation or reward of any char
Richmond Virgiuian Company, but his
firm, from whose building The Vir-
giniau ia published under ten-year
lease. holds A small number of Nir-
sintan bonds So far az the mana ge-
ment OF The Nirginiau knows. Mr..
Connolly had absolutely nothing 70
do with the Advertising placed TOR the
Union stores, Inc. after that place OF
business was opened nor SO far as The
Virginian knows did he have anything
whatever to do with the matter OF
paving advertising bills. The Virginian
does not believe that MIR. Connolly was
consulted or that he gave any advice
as 10 placing advertising in The Vsr-
ginian or the payment OF The Vir-
gia mans bill When the Union Stores
became embarrassed and asked for All
extension of time The yirginian con-
sented To the extension and accepted
notes for the amount due this paper,
and II ia understood that all of the
other papers did the same thing OF
acuuiesced In such settlement
whether they took notes or not.
