Hunt Makes
Statement on
Wares Charge
st. Paul, Minnesota,
April 10, 1914.

Editor: I do hereby emphatical-
ly deny the truth of the statement
made in the st. Paul Recorder and
Minneapolis Spokesman by Rev. S.
E. Ware in the April 18th, 1914,
edition that Mr.. J. Louis Erwin
had dropped my divorce case.
1 further state that I had paid
Mr.. Erwin in full for my divorce
case before it was called for trial,
and it was I who decided to change
lawyers for the best interest Of all
concerned.
I further state that at no time
during the contractual relationship
with Mr.. Erwin was there any type
of misunderstanding or disagree
ment between US. I further state
that have been a resident Of st.
Paul since 1922, and that I have
been a member of Pilgrim Baptist
Church for the past eleven years
and that have been a deacon of Pill
grim baptist Church for the past
three years having been acting
deacon for the period Of about one
year before was ordained.
1 further state that I attended
the regular morning service at my
church Sunday, April 18th, 1914,
and that the attempt to take my
life while I sat in church pew by
Mrs. Aleathia Jackson, sister of
my former wife, was a deliberate
act and wholly without justifica-
ton.
AS to other minor questions con-
corning the testimony of witnesses,
etc., a complete record or trans
script of my divorce case is now
being prepared by the Clerk of
the Court and I will request it to
be published in the st. Paul Re-
corder as soon as it is completed.
Signed,
Howard NJ. Hunt,
90s Carroll Ave-,

Hunt Attacked
With Hummer as
He Sits In Church

AS previously reported in the
daily press of the Twin Cities the
Howard Hunt divorce case which
Economically linked Rev. Smith
Edward Ware with Hunts wife
reached another stage last Sun
day morning, April 16, when Hunt
was assaulted with a hammer by
Mrs. Aleathia Jackson, 1912 Rondo
Ave-, sister of Mr.. Hunts divorced
wife, as he sat in Pilgrim church.
The attack on Hunt occurred
with startling suddenness as the
regular Sunday morning offering
was being lifted and threw the
church into a pandemonium as
women and children screamed and
ran for the exits.
According to Hunt and other
spectators, Mrs. Jackson struck
him before he even saw her. AS
blood streamed from a large wound
in his head he grappled with his
assailant and was struck second
time on his shoulder. AS Hunt and
Mrs. Jackson struggled his former
wife approached him from behind
and beat him with her fists.
Church officers and male men,
bers finally separated the three and
Hunt was taken to the hospital.
Mrs. Jackson, who welded a brand
new hammer, walked with her
sister and a friend towards Rondo
st. as the church was dismissed in
confusion.
A police squad car picked up the
two sisters.
Mrs. Jackson was held in Jail
and released later on bail. Hunt
was held as a material witness and
was also released later.

Following sensational testimony
in a Ramsey county district court
divorce action by Howard n. Hunt
against his wife, Carrie Hunt, in
which the name Of Rev. 8. E. Ware,
pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church,
was mentioned, the deacon and
trustee boards Of that congregation
accepted Rev. Wares resignation
on Saturday night, April Is, to take
effect in three months.
Sunday morning, after a distur-
bance in the church, which is re-
ported elsewhere in this paper, the
two boards met again and offered
Rev. Ware 5000 to resign imme-
diately. The minister agreed and
was given a check for that amount.
He told the board he would leave
st. Paul as soon as his wife was
able to travel. She was reported
ill.
Monday, he returned the check to
M. V. Howard, chairman of the
deacons board and requested that
the boards meet him Friday.
Rev. Ware was quoted in a Min
neapolis daily paper Tuesday, as
saying the official boards action
on his resignation was unfair and
that such action was the result of
"false witnesses" against him. He
said the board was to meet Wednes-
day night to reconsider" it's &C
ton. Ware also told the news
paper that the community was
boiling" about the entire affair.
Meanwhile sides are beginning to
form with a number of women
members sympathetic to Mrs. Ware,
who has been ill, suggesting that
the boards had no right to accept
the minister's resignation.
Reports indicate that only two
of the church's trustee are aligned
with the pastor. Others, both
deacons and trustees, were reported
solidly against his retention. It
is understood that Ware has said
he is agreeable to the original prop
osition that he be given three
months to vacate the pulpit, but
has baked on Immediately leaving
the church to which he agreed Sun
day morning after the church
fracas.

The japanese air 1OrCe mas
paid the price of more than 23O
planes shot down over New
Britain duging the first two
weeks of that islands invasion.
Announced Allied losses were
30. But even more important
than these comparative totals,
other developments seem TO in
dictate something d idedly
amiss from the enemy stand
point.
Is Japan growing short of
planes? OF battle-eXperienced
pilots? Or, on the other hand, is
enemy air might being held
back for the battles to come?
Again, has Allied offensive
pressure from the Marshalls
southwark over a Pacific out
post line of more than 1000
miles so thinned out NipponeSe
air strength that il cannot be
concentrated swiftly to repel
new blows?
These questions are raised
logically by what has happened
since the invasion of New Bri-
tain opened Dec Is at Arawe on
the southwest coast. New Bri-
tain is by all odds the most inn
portant Japanese Pacific posi-
ton invaded by the Allies,
chiefly because of the superb
harbor and network of alrflelds
at Rabaul. Japan has said so in
alarmed tones over Tokyo radio
and has expressed determine
tfon TO hold on to the island.
In the light of that, the moves
of the japanese air force against
the u. S. Sixth Army at Arawe
and against the Marines invad-
ing Cape Gloucester Dec. %
would seem to indicate one of
two things. Either enemy recon
naissance is faulty-or the air
force is loath TO give battle in
force at critical stages.
Ships of the American inva-
sion forces had TO sail some 200
miles from New Guinea to put
the men ashore al Arawe. Yet il
was not until after the landings
and the warships were on their
way back that the first enemy
air attack occurred.
To date, more than 80 Japa-
nese planes have been shot
down at AraMs Of these, 81
were baggcd Sunday night and
Monday-at a time when Allied
leaders were referring frankly
