r011 BY BEATING

Navy Lieutenant Is Willing
to Drop Episode There,
but All Boston In Stirred

DEFENDS SELF

Only Fath-erly Afiection, He
Declares, and Recalls
First Embrace at Altar

BOSTON. July 11.—Clrcu:nsfances
concerning the ”fatherly kiss" bo-
stowed by the Rev. Dr. Lyman Paine
on a. bride of eight weeks and the
beating suffered by the clergyman at
the hands of the husband are being
investigated here today.

Lieutenant Wesley McLoren Hague,
U. S. A., administered the beating.
He admits it.

The kissing for which the young
naval lieutenant chastised the fifty—
yeahold Rev. Dr. Paine is charac-
terized by the clergyman as “a mis-
understanding of the facts."

'hvo kissing episodes. it developed
today. are charged against the cler-
gyman, who is secretary of the Church
Federation. married and has two sons
attending Harvard University. The
clergyman was knocked down yester-
day in his offices.

The Firm Episode.

The first kissing occurred eight
weeks ago. when the naval officer
took to himself a nineteen~year~old
bride. The Rev. Dr. Paine points to
the fact that he married the couple
and kissed the bride and that the
kiss was received at it was given. as
a display of parental affection.

But investigators cali attention to
the clalm that while the first kiss was
, delivered in the presence of the officer,
the second one wasn't.

It was while Lieutenant Hague was
absent and on duty at Baltimore
that the Rev. Dr. Paine invited Mrs.
Hague for a motor jaunt. She ac-
cepted. He learned 'that Mrs. Hague
had not been baptized. and recalling
the incident. said:

"So I baptized her. She is an in-
nocent little wisp of a girl, and the
kiss was merely a display of fatherly
affection, nothing more, the whole af-
fair. including the anger and attack
of Lieutenln! Hagm resulted from
a. misunderstanding."

Th mm ‘ the

o .

clergyman and fliww iii-l"
friend were strolling in o. meadow.
The Rev. Dr. Paine find called 1t the
bride's home in Cambridge with a.
motor car. When they reached the
meadow. they stopped for a rest. The
clergyman “Knitted: .

"I asked Mrs. Hague for o. his but
she declined. A little while later I
kissed her on the cheek. There was,

 

 

 

nothing offensive in what I did. The
kiss was purely for the sake of
friendship."

Lieutenant Hague. viewing the at-
fair through a newly-wedded hus-
band‘s eyes, explained: ‘

"I believe he needed a thrashing.
and I gave it to him. I considered
the matter had ended right there and
I want it 1.0 end there."

Lieutenant Hague visited the offl-
ces of the Church Federation in Ben.-
con street yesterday. An he entered.
the Rev. Dr. Paine smiled and ex-
tended his hand. Lieutenant Hague
extended his. but not as a salutation.
for his hand was closed lightly and
he swung it to the Rev Dr. Paine's
jaw. The Rev. Dr. Paine was knock-
ed through a glass-paneled door and
crumpled to the floor.

Harvard Graduate.

graduate. He was prominent in ath-
letics while at the university. From
1911 to 1918, he was rector of St.

Complaints on Assessmments—Qeneral
Tax Demanded by_ Protestants

 

The Board of Preeholders on the widening of Washington street
were praised in one breadth and denounced in the next at the publio
hearing held last evening at the meeting of the Common Council. The
heating was one of the warmest sessions that has been held in the
Council chambers in sometime. At times the arguments grew so
warm that it was thought some of the participants might come to
blows, and it was necessary for Mayor Barton to can for order. Even
after the meeting had closed the arguments were continued on the

steps of the City Hall.

consisting of Councilmen Keeler.
Brown. ingram. James and Taylor. to
go over the matter and decide on the
streets.that necd repairs the most.

He also instructed the committee
that the city's Street department was

vaeny owners.

“'hen the meeting was called to or-
der by Mayor Barton the Council
Chambers were filled. and after the
reading of the minutes of the previous
meeting. Mayor Barton aid that the
weather was warm. and he expected
most of those present were there for
the hearing on \‘l’ashlngton street that
they would take this matter up out of
We turn and proceed with the booting.

After the Mayor had Opened the
hearing. it was sctle time before any-
one said anything, as everyone seemed
to be looking for the other to speak
on the matter first. Samuel Green-
steln started the ball rolling. Mr.
Greensteln said that he did not find
any condition on \V‘ashlngton street
that did no texist in any busy city in
the Unlted States. and that most of the
congestion was caused by some auto.
psobliist who was in a hurry to get by
one of the Connecticut company's trol-
leys. He stated that he did not see why
he should be assessed 8384 on West
Washington street. on improvement
that was going to benefit and help Joe
Davis do business on “'ashlngion
street. or help automobile drivers who
were in a. hurry. and that he did not
agree to the taxing of residents who
lived on “fast “'ashlngion street.

Howard Holmes of Franklin street
was the. next speaker on the subject.
Mr. Holm'es said that he lived on
Franklin street. a quarter of a mile
awny from Washington street. sflll ho
had to pay for widening. He asked the
members of the council in what way
he was benefiited and said that he
wanted an answer. \Vben no one made
an effort to give him an answer. he
declared that the council or the mayor
were unable to answer his question.
Councilman Curtis jumped up and said.
that he would answer. He told Mr.
Holmes that If he lived in any other
up-io-dnte city he would be assessed.
and that no questions would be asked.

John Kubovlc of Liberty Square
caused ‘a laugh when he asked if he
was belng taxed for his children. He
said that was the only way that he
saw that the assessment had been ar-
rived at. as Mr. Yogcl who owned as
building next to him and had no chil.
dren. was not succeed as much as
him. and his building was of the some
construction. Mayor Barton said that
he was fortunate as his property must
be valued at more than what he
thought it was.

Makes Comparison

Frederick H. Quiniard said he was
representing the C. S. Trowbridgo
Company and that he wayld like to
find out at what rate is was taxed as
the company owned in one place 11
feet. 3 inches on “‘ashlngton street.
and were assessed $171. and J. “'ol-
lace Marvin owned 48 feet and was as.
sessed 8160. hir. Quintnrd further
stated that he did not approve of the
presedt plop for raising the money.
but thought that it should be raised
by general taxation. as it. was a. gen-
eral improvement.

Albert M. Pohlman was present in
behalf of the [Incas Tribe of Red Hen.
Mr. Pohlman said that he did not
believe in widening the street for the
benefit of the Connecticut Company.
He stated that the Red Men were s.
benefit organization with a. member-
ship of v’l and that they helped a
number of people. who otherwise
would have to be taken care of by 'he
.clty. Hr. Pohiman said that if the
trolley curs were taken off Washing-
ton street. the street would not have to
be widened. Mr. Pohlman's talk was
greeted with loud applause. and Mayor
Barton announced that if there was
any more applause the hearing would
be closed.
