BILE anxiety Is felt today among the mil
lionaire members of the Aero Club Of
st. Louis over the continued absence or
word from Capt John Berry. who made
a moonlight fight from here last night.
Berry ascended at s O'Clock from the

to a height of 200 feet and then going
eastward over Illinois. Arrangements
were made TO advise the press and his
family when a successful descent had
been made. but no word has yet been re-

the Balloon has not been heard from.
Nearly all the local balloonists are

Factional Fight in George
Washington University
Takes New Turn.
MEDICAL SCHOOL
CENTER OF MIX-UP
Graduates, President Needham
and Dean Involved in
Controversy.

DR.. William c. Borden, of 1901
v street northwest, is slated to sue
ceed DR.. w. F. R. Phillips as dean
of the Medical College of George
Washington University.
DR.. Phillips has received no Off
cial notification of his retirement
though prominent members of the
Alumni Association declare it was
decided upon by the trustees two
weeks ago.
These statements are souched for as
facts by graduates or George Washing
ton University who deciars they will
make them the platform OF a vigorous
campaign against the present adminis-
tration OF the universities affairs.
Charges and counter charges have al
ready began to fly thick and fast.
Among charges made are these:
That the medical school has become an
expensive luxury to thu university since
the administration Of DR.. Phillips. the
school this year having run behind by
about $4,000 and last year showed a
deficit of $1,000
That the medical faculty Ia completely
disorganized as a result OF Disagree
ments among members of the faculty.
These charges ara brought by sup
porters of DR.. Needhsm IN answer to
the assertion that DR.. Phillips has been
Disseminated against.
Action of Alumni.
But the most striking feature of the
tangle was the Yariety OF construction
put upon the action of fhe alumni asso-
citation last evening when affairs OF the
university came in for a general dis
cussion.
Friends OF DR.. Needham eeclare that
the charges against the university-s
head were instigated by DR.. w p
faculty, because DR.. Needham several
years ago recommended hfS removal
Supporters of DR.. Phillips say the cleo
tion Of DR.. Carr to the presidency of
last evening was an expression of the
attitude OF the alumni on the merits OF
the controversy.
DR.. Phillips Part.
DR.. Phillips, II is charged. first came
into conflict with the university authori-
ties because he declined to remove DIR.
Carr from his position on the medical
faculty. DR.. Needham, It is said, asked
that he be replaced. on the ground that
he did rot devote enough time to affairs
OF the university.
DIR. Phillips, at the time, said he had
made a satisfactory arrangement with
DIR. carr. An but three members of the
medical faculty Joined i9l demanding that
DR.. Carr be retained.
Dr. Phillips this morning declined to
talk of the rumors affecting his reten-
ton.

The boast came with singular
caution from the childish lips of the
girl wis had been asked a question
about her marriage.
Half an hour earlier she had gone,
With a skip and d jump in her walk,
TO the candy store a block away to
buy chocolate drops. With the
candy in her hand, she seemed TO be
the yeriest child. Her hair was plait-
ed down her back, her skirts did not
fall to her shoe tops, and she looked
scarcely thirteen years old instead of
fifteen, as she really is.
But, as she refused to answer a
question, there was in her eyes what
amounted to cunning, ami the ex-
preston made Ter face look old, al
most grotesquefy old.
Believes Her Story
VIII Save Father From Death.
She was Dorothy Willard Reck. Her
husband had been shot TO death aniy
a week before by her father, and she
had j@t explained her belief that the
story she vspuld ten the jury was the
only thing to save the father from the
death penalty.
Albert Willard, secretive. of few
words. is now in the District jail eharg-
ed with the murder of Irving W. Beck,
who was a prosperous business man
thirty five years of age. According to
surface evidence, Willard killed Beck
because Beck refused TO disclose where
he had hidden Dorothy after he hsd
taken her from aer parents home, con-
trary to his promise to allow her to
live with them until her eighteenth
birthday.
But back of this tragedy there is the
greater pity-the story of how this child
has been robbed of her girIhood and
made % realize that life can be bur
den and horror. What she has en-
dured has already put a terrible stamp
upon ner. She is neither child nor a
woman. In her conversation. she is one
moment almost a baby. and the next
a woman who has learned. from suffer
ing and shame. to hide her thoughts
and ideas.
Married Life Lasts
But Seventeen Days
Her married life lasted not quite sew
enteeE days. and came to an end May 5.
The wedding was permitted by her
mother and father only after the per-

Dorothy Willard was born with a soul
