DENIES BISHOPWHITE
DIVORCED HUSBAND
Son, Also Bishop in pillar of
Fire Church, Explains
Court Action,

Bishop A. K. White. son Of Bishop
Alma White. founder OF the Pillar Of
Fire Church, with national head
quarters at Zarahpeth, N. j., has re-
quested The Star to correct an allu-
sion to Bishop Alma Whites divorce"
in Lemuel Parton's column Headline
Folk and What They Do" On Feb
ruary 6. 1921. Bishop White filed suit
for divorce against her husband, Rev.
Kent White, at Trenton. N. j., but on
showing that affection existed on
both sides" no divorce was granted
and the action was withdrawn.
Bishop White explained that during
the years of his fathers subsequent
residence in England there has been
no spiritual misunderstanding between
them and that his mothers action
had been moved by exigent matters
Of church polity which made 1t seem
expedient to her to seek a court de-
termination of interests and control,
entirely in the interest OF the church.
She is. said Bishop White. a con-
sistent opponent Of divorce, as she was
at the time Of the possibly ill-ad-
vised" action and that only doctrinal
and managerial matters caused her
appeal to the court.
The Pillar of Fire Church, estab-
lished by Bishop Alma White in Dem
yer in 1901s removed to New Jersey
in 1908. Since then Bishop White has
established the following schools:
Alma White College, Zarapeth Bible
Seminary, Belleview College, Bible
Seminary and Preparatory School,
Denver: Mount Hermon Academy,
Cincinnati; Galilean Training School,
Los Angeles. and Alma Bible College,
London.

IS books on religious. patriotic and
educational subjects; the author of
more than $50 hymns, and the
founder Of 7 periodicals. She also has

MONTGOMERY. Ala, September /.
Alabama armed today against motor
lied rustling, which has caused heavy
loss to cattlemen and brought a gun
battle reminiscent of Western frontier
days.
State highway patrolmen sought
four supposed rustlerS who engaged In
running gun fight with L. ]. Jones
on his farm In Southern Alabama.
Jones said he and three companions
surprised the four men while they
were preparing to load some Of Jones
cattle. Jones and his friends shot at
the marauders and the fire was re-
turned.
The would-be thieves escaped In
their truck, but left behind a bloody
hat, shot full Of holes-which led to
the belief that one of the four was
killed or wounded.
Commissioner Of Agriculture r. J.
Goode called on all owners Of the
States 1.125,000 head of cattle to reg
lister their brands and assigned field
men to keep a close check on sales at
stockyards.
There has been lot of rustling,"
Goode said. Its impossible to say
how much. The rustlers drive at night
in fast trucks, steal animals, then sell
them in distant markets, often in other
