which has ever baffled the Evanston po-

they are unable to determine. DIR. Clye,
who was associated with Warner, said he
was killed accidentally. He added:
There is no doubt that Or. Warner shot
himself accidentally. file was preparing to
leave on hunting trip and apparently
was cleaning the revolver when it was &C

his heart and he died instantly.

RUMOR THAT MRS. DRExEL
WILL SUE FOR A DIVORCE
Philadelphia Bulletin Publishes Re-
port, Saying Friends Urge
a Reunion.

PHILADELPHIA, May 28s--(Special
Telegram.)- The Bulletin today publishes
the following:
Though there have been rumors for sew
eral years that the marital relations be-
tween Colonel Anthony ]. Drexel and Mrs.
Drexel have been estranged, society in
London, Newport, Philadelphia, New York
and Baltimore will be surprised to learn
that Mrs. Drexel may bring action for
divorce.
Mrs. Drexel arrived from Europe alone
a few weeks ago, and has endeavored 20
keep her movements as quiet as possible
since she came to Philadelphia Her in
tentions to bring action FOR divorce, pre-
coded her. however, in cablegrams to the
Drexel family. No sooner had she set foot
on shore at New York, than the Drexels
began to persuade her to reconsider the
resolve she had made In London to sep
arate herself legally and entirely from
her husband.
Mrs. Drexel remained adamant In her
decision, and before she had been in Phila-
delphia many days she sought the counsel
of John @. Johnson. Carrying out his
policy of never saying anything about his
clients cases, Mr.. Johnson will not say
anything regarding the divorce OF Mrs
Drexel. In reply to questions, he would
only say:
I represent my clients in court, not at
their homes or in their personal relations
"A conspicuous member OF the DrexeI
family said when asked about the impond-
| ing divorce action:
90 wish sincerely the report would prove
false. Our family has SO far kept aloof
from the publicity OF the divorce courts
I hope we will continue TO be out OF such

Driver Killed When
Machine Turns Turtle
Two Racing Automobiles Veer from
Their Course While Practicing
Near Denver.

DENVER, May 2s.-Speedlng over the
three-mile motor course at Sable, ten
miles east of Denver, in preliminary prac-
tice for the 3O0-mile race on Decoration
day, two racing automobiles late today
veered from the course and turned turtle
killing the driver of one car and injuring
the other driver, and the mechanicians of
both cars.
Both cars turned turtle at the same
point but they were going in opposite
directions. Robert w. Bean, aged "a,
whose home was in Detroit, was crushed
to death beneath the car. Bean had only
recently come to Denver from Detroit.
The injured are:
Otto e. Manglitz of Denver, mechan-
ician, two ribs broken, internal injuries
Lee Bert Roberts of Denver, mech
anictan. badly bruised
Harry Ball OF Denver, driver, head
bruised.
Harry Ball is one of the youngest Of
the professional motor drivers and has
many race winnings to his credit.
The accident was most peculiar. Bean,
driving a Studebaker. was bowling along
at fifty miles an hour, when his car
veered to the right. In an effort to right
the machine, he swung 1t around and it
shot off the course and into the field to
the left. Ball. at the wheel of an Apper-
son Jack Rabbit, which had Just COM
pleted a lap at seventy-five miles an hour,
felt his car give when Il reached the
point where the Studebaker encountered
unsteRdiness, but in his attempting to
straighten it out, whirlsd It off the course
to the right Both cars leaped into the
air when they struck soft earth and turned
over
1t was hours before word reached the
city of the accident and some time after
that before the injured could be conveyed

PASTOR YOUNG is SATISFIED
missing Charges Against DIR.
Brown of Union Seminary.

NEW YORK, May H.-(speclal Tele-
gram )-Rev. Edward Young, pastor Of the
Bedford Presbyterian church, Brooklyn,
chairman of the judiciary committee of
the general assembly commended today the
action OF the assembly in paving the way
for reconciliation with Union theological
seminary by Diminishing the charges against
DR.. FTancis Brown, president of the
seminary and Prof William A. Brown. He
said;
II regard the action of the assembly
with reference to the overtures calling for
action against President Francis Brown
and Prof. William A. Brown as the most
remarkable in many years. For about
twenty years the general assembly and
Union seminary have been more or less
antagonistic. The assembly not only
dropped absolutely the overtures without
even the slightest implied reflection upon
DR.. Francis Brown and william A. Brown,
but held out the olive branch to Union
seminary, and in an atmosphere of deep
feeling voted the appointment of COM
mittee on conference with the faculty and
directors.
This action will scarcely seem credible
to the Presbyterian church at large. What
the members expected was some decidedly
adverse action against Union seminary
One OF the speakers unadvisedly regarded
this action would give the assembly the
control of the seminary and might become
the salvation OF Union seminary. OF
course, such talk will be resented by the
friends of the seminary who recognize that
the last twenty years have been the most
prosperous in the history OF the institu-
ton.
However, the spirit of the assembly
toward Union seminary is a part of the
great peace movement which Is sweeping
over the world and which the church Is
now meeting. The action OF the assembly
does not indicate any departure from the
old orthodoxy"
