"ThIs Is your child and If you still refuse to support Il I will find a way to compel you to recognize and take care of Ill" ! This declaration was made Sunday night by Miss Sallie Wllltams of Kansas City a good looking 'oung'mulatto woman , as rho stood In front of the pUlpit In the Zion Colored Daptlst church 2207 Grant street , holding a wee bit of a baby In her outstretched , arms and accusing the s minister . Hev. H. T. Hoffman wIth being the cause of her 1I0wn- fall. The evening sermon had just been fin- : hihell allli the colored divine was stalllllng 111 : t his pulpit , ready to announce the ' closing ! , hymn , when the young woman arose In the rear of the crowded church , and amidst the . greatest confusion and excitement , made the atartllng charge against the ' popular parson of the congregation. The congregation , after the hysterical young woman had : been led to a seat called for an explanation from Hev. Mr. Hoffman , who emphatically denied the serious charg and asked that nn Immelliate Investigation be made. Before quiet had been restored some dozen persons , who were violently opposed to , tba calling of Hev. Hoffman to this mia- eton , which occurred some two months ago , arose and began to hurl all kllllis of abuse at the minister , and for a few minutes the aspect of the two church factions looked riot- ous and the service broke UII In great dls order amid a passage of arms between the / two factions. Hev. David Phelps of Omaha Is the preacher who was supported by eleven members of this parish at the meeting In May , but he was outvoted by some thirty majority and "Dr. " Hoffman was called from 1 Kansas City to minister to the spiritual i wants of Zion's big flock of worshhlers. Trouble has been brewing ever since allli the feeling has been of thu most unfrlenllly nature and outbreaks have been of frequent . occurrence . hOFFMAN ENTERS A DENIAL. a % Rev Mr. Hoffman said : "Thesc charges have been made against mo at the Instigation of those at this congregation who opposed my appointment here and were devised for the sole purpose of ruining any character and blasting my rt'IJUtation. I know this young woman has been induced to come Into our place of worship and make the sensational charges that she did just to gIve me news- paper notorlett' and to ruin me In this COI11- munlty. They will be sorry for their defamatory - amatory acts , too. It has only been a month or so ago sInce Sallie Williams was carry- log a loaded revolver around In her pocket In Iansu City , . . where she made pastor she would kill evCe Peter Jackson , Ilastor of the Mount SinaI church of that city. When she found that he could not be frightened , she dropped the matter. She and her mother have Intimate friends among the dissatisfied memlllrs of my a charge and they have brought this girl here W for the purpose of vilifying me and making this awful charge against me. The whole thing was prearranged. The girl and her mother arrived from Kansas City Saturday night at 6 o'clock and were met at the depot by friends. The girl. when she entered my church , took a rear sut and waited for the time between the sermon and the last hymn before creat- lag a .enutlon. lIer mother first came up .t. _ . ! . .

Quiet couU not be secured and I was powerless to make the violent disturbers pay any heed to my re- monstrances and I left the church In com- pany with the deacons and others and went to lilY home. I told them to call a meeting at once and Investigate the charges so as to' clear my good name. " The congregation will hold a meeting this week to determine the truthfulness of the charge made by the woman. The entire cclored community Is greatly wrought np over the dramatic scene enacted I In the church last night , and the general opinion Is that It was a plot of those nn- frendly ! to Re\ Horrman to force hs ! resigna- I tion.
