DENIAL SUPPORTED BY
LETTER FROM FRIEND
Insists He Was "Grossly Mis-

Meet "Distorted."
The following letter has Just been

In which he again denies that he was
correctly quoted in an address he
moH v,ofr n miuinnarv mpptlmr in
Syracuse, N. Y which was reported
In the Syracuse Post-Standard and re
printed In The Gazette-News, Arch
deacon Allen quotes from a letter of
one present at the meeting in support
of his denial?
" The letter follows:
New York, March 25, 1915.
To the Editor of The Gazette-News:
Ashevllle, N. C.
Dear Sir:
T have just returned from Syracuse
and was unable to find out who re
ported the missionary meeting at
which 1 spoke and was so grossly mis
represented and my address so horri
bly distorted. I saw Mr. Paul Paine,
the editor of the Post-Standard who
deeply regrets the mis-statements, and
Is willing to do everything In tis
power to make any correction and re
move any adverse criticism concern
ing my address.
The person who 'phoned the report
-was. not at Jhe meeting nor author-
Wed" to mafte any waiement. of stld.
meeting. I have a letter from Mrs.
Krumbhaar, which has been forward
ed on to me from Ashevllle, In which
she states:
"The Archdeacon made no reference
whatever to any of the ministers of
any of the churches. Mr. Allen did
not criticize the ministers of other
churches in North Carolina.
"The article in the Syracuse paper
which so misquotes him was the re
sult of a telephone communication.
The editoor of the Post-Standard
advised me to write you a letter that
you could use In the Ashevllle papers
If you thought best. Indeed you may
use It In any way you see nt.
"I cannot begin to tell you of my
distress that all this should follow
your delightful and inspiring visit
"If only a reporter had been at the
meeting and your words taken down
verbatum then those who are . now
criticizing you would see clearly that
absolutely nothing had been saiu tnat
In any way could offend anyone.
"Would you like a statement to this
effect signed by those present at the
meeting, among whom were some well
known Syracuslans, or tre these let
ters of mine sufficient? I will hear
tily do whatever 1 can to correct thjs
false Impression."
The rector of the church, who was
present at the meeting, denies the
truthfulness and correctness of the
reoort of my address, also some 30 or
40 prominent Syracuse people who
were present at the meeting.
I must again deny the supposed
statements as absolutely false, I will
appreciate It, If you will give this let
ter prominence In your next issue.
Very truly yours,
