DIES or JOY As
HUSBAND WINS
Rare Disease Brought on by
Worry of Charges.

P~sssaie, N. j., Jan. 1p.-Worry over
the long continued fight OF her hus-
band TO be restored to his pulpit in
the North Side Christian Reformed
church here brought Mrs. vanden-
heuvei to her bed with a rare disease,
| BY which the white corpuscles Of the
| blood are increased. News that be
had won a victory brought her such
transports OF Joy that in her weaken
| ed condition her heart was oyertaxed
and she died.
While her death was directly due to
happiness, her physician blames the
| church war for the illness, medically
known as leukaemia, which almost In
variably results In death and is prac-
tically past the aid OF medical science,
and says the deep { she mani
| tested In the case undoubtedly hasten
| ed her death.
The charge against the Rev. A. J..
vandenheuvel attracted general atten.
| ton on account Of Its unusual nature.
Mrs. Fl. Hettema, a member Of his
congregation. was the complainant.
Her husband had obtained a divorce.
and the case was decided against her
! chiefly on account Of an affidavit made
by the Rev. Mr.. yandenheuvel, divulg-
ing some statements Mrs. Hettema
had made to him in confidence. She
brought the matter to the attention Of
the triannual session of the Hudson
Chassis OF the Christian Reformed
church last August.
Mr.. Vahdenheuvel's action was COM
pared to that OF a priest who should
diyuIge what had been told him In
the confessional. The decision OF the
church tribunal was that AFR. Vanden-
heuvel erred In making the affidavit,
but that 1t could not be regarded by
the church In the anne light as divulg-
ing the secrets Of the confessional.
He was ordered to make a full confess
sion before his congregation Of his
errors and to make peace with the
consistory of his church.
This verdict was not accepted By
Mr.. vandenheuvel, and a long and BIT
ter fight resulted.
Recently the members OF the church
elected a new board, withdrew from
the Chassis, declared themselves free
and Independent and restored Mr..
V~andenheuvel to the passionate.

The attention Of the District Attor-
ney was called to-day to misleading
advertisement put out by william J.

rewards for tnforma ton leading to the
arrest and conviction Of persons At

Mr.. Whitman said he did not think
the reinstatement in ths advertisement
was made maliciously. and telephoneo
to Mr.. Perkins asking him to prepare
his copy properly for succeeding ad-
vertisemehts. Mr.. Burns called on the
District Attorney this afternoon with
information alleging that prominent
politician in an uptown district had
registered illegally. The information
was turned over to Assistant District
Attorney Medalie.
About q warrants were issued at the
request Of the District-Attorney. by the
courts this afternoon for persons &C.
cused of illegal registration. This brings
the number of warrants asked for b,

about one hundred. The Attorney-Gene
