Rumor Of Friction,

Surgeon General Rixey of the navy
returned home tonight and. in response
TO many inquiries in regard to the res
ignatiOn of Admiral BrOwnson as chief
of the bureau of navigation. he gave
out a statement as to the hospital ship
Relief. which has figured prominently
in the episode. While disclaiming any
knowledge as to the exact cause of Ad-
miral Brownson's resignation, the sur
geon generals statement leaves scarce
ly a doubt that friction between the
bureau of navigation and the medical
department of the navy was a potent
factory. The controversy had its origin
in the matter of sending hospital ship
with the batUeship feet on its voyage
to the Pacific, over which there arose
conflict of authority as to whether
the medical officer or an officer of the
line should be assigned to the COM
mand

wounds Green is married. but is sepa-
rated from his wife.
In a letter which is addressed to a
Philadelphia newspaper, Green attacks
his wife, and among other things says;
To-day 1 am going to kill myself and
a true and loving friend, as my letters
and hers will show. We died for love
which was denied us by her dear moth
er. This is the only girl l ever loved.
We have promised before God We could
never live apart. This is our secret &"
No letters were found in the clothing
of the girl. The mother of Miss Won
DERBY had refused Green permission to
visit her home, and the police believe
Green and the girl entered a pact to
die together.
Were No Witnesses.
After shooting the girl twice, one
bullet entering the mouth ana the
other taking effect in the cheek, Green
walked some distance from her and
shot himself in the head. NO one VIII
messed the occurrence, but the shots
attracted a policeman, who hurried the
couple to a hospital. The police and
physicians endeavored to secure a
statement from the girl before she
lapsed into Inconsistencies, but she
refused TO talk. Owing to Green's con-
dition- no attempt was made to secure
a statement from him. The physicians
say both are in a critical condition.
The hospital physician, after many
attempts this afternoon extracted the
two bullets which took effect in Miss
Wonderly, and while her condition is
still serious, say that they have hopes
of saving her life.
The doctors made several attempts
to remove the bullet from Green
head, but without success.
The shooting occurred on the side
walk In the northern part OF the city,
a fashionable residential section, and
has caused much comment.
Attempted TO Kill Wife.
1t developed late tonight that before
he shot Miss Wonderly and attempted
TO end his own life Green waylaid and
attempted to kill his wife. Mrs.
Greene, who is an attractive young
woman. told of the attack, as the re
suit of which she carries a bruised and
swollen eye, and has several contusions
and marks on her neck. Mrs. Greene
said that her husband struck her.
knocked her down and checked her in
sensible.
It vas stated at the hospital where
Greene and Miss Worderly are tonight
that the girl would probably die, but
that Greene might recover.

on; / prefer mine Off" AS the rain
fell more heavily Mrs. Gladstone step
ped behind her husband and held an
umbrella over his bare head. He was
over eighty at the time. Mr.. Glad
stone went fiuently on, expOundlng the
merits of rabbit farming, but after 4
time even he noticed the rain and the
umbrella Turning to Mrs. Gladstone,
he said, IL will put my own up, my
dear" and he did so. Again the elo-
Quent voice gallOped on, while the rain
became heavier and heavier. Present
ly Mrs. Gladstone threw light mackin-
tosh over her husbands shoulders.
The moment he felt 1t he turned quick
" round and with some aSperlty said,

shoulders, the macintosh fell, and
Mrs. Gladstone stepped back. For five
minutes more in a deluge Mr.. Glad
