his death was imminent, caused a re-

Columbia Athletic football players, who
were engaged in the scrimmage wherein
Rahen's hack was broken, would be prose-
cuted crIminally for felonous and deadly
assault. on the ground that they deith-
erately proceeded to disable Banen and
other leading Georgetown men when they
found the championship game could be
won I'm no other way. 1t is hardly proba-
ble however. that prosecutions inspired
by the university will follow, even If Ba-
hen dies.
President Richards, OF Georgetown Col
Iege was asked about the probable course
the college authorities would pursue in
such an emergency.
"There has been talk on the outside Of
the college walls to the effect that the
case Of Mr.. Bahen would be carried into
the District courts said Father Rich
ards but we feel that there has already
been too much unenviable notoriety given
our Institution by this sad affair. We
have no desire 10 go into the courts with
the matter, and, so far as the faculty Of
Georgetown University is concerned, we
will endeavor to head Off and stop any
attempt 10 take it there"
There is considerable talk on the out
side however, among Georgetown parti-
sans who witnessed the game and IL is
freely declared that no matter whether
Bahen RECEIVERS or not, the men RESPONSE

part OF the city, called kenwood since
he organized the church in 1899, eloped
last night with the wife of George w.
Brandt manager Of the Prince Baking
Powder Company, with whom he had
been intimate for some time. The elope-
ment was different from the conventional
kind, as II came after the exposure OF
their relations by j. Irving Pearce at mis-
hotel, the Sherman House, earlier IN the
day. Mr.. Brandt was the central nSure
TN stormy scene, and his warning Tor
the minister to get out of the city within
twelve hours was needed ahead OF time,
the guilty woman accompanying him
Haney left wife in almost destitute
circumstances. besides being heart-broken
over the disgrace. Four children are also
left to be taken care Of.
The eX-pastor took with him everything
in the way of money and other valuables
that he could lay his hands on. He Is
thrty-fve years Of age and not at all
handsome, while Mrs. Brandt Is very al
tractive. He left a letter confessing his
sin and asking the prayers OF his friends.
At the request Of the landlord, Pearce,
who is a prominent member OF the late
Professor Swings congregation, Haney
preached in Central Music Hall, and mere
was talk OF calling him 10 the vacant

University as a Methodist, and after be-
