DIES IN ACCIDENT
H. A. Gregory, Chicago, Killed
When Machine Strikes
a Bridge.

Chicago, June 26.-Harvey A. Greg
ory, manager of a circulation bureau,
was killed early today when his auto
mobile, in which another man and
two women were passengers, skidded
into the railing of bridge
Others of the party were Charles
Summers, Miss Myrtle Peters and
Miss Minnie Bristol. Miss Bristol was
reported thrown into the water and
drowned at first, but Summers and
Miss Peters said she, like themselves,
escaped with a few bruises. Gregory's
wife and three children were found at
their home after the accident She
had never heard of the women who
were with her husband. The Gregorys
have been married 10 years and came
here from Grand Rapids, Mich, in 1911.
The impression that Miss Bristol
escaped proved erroneous. Her body
was recovered this afternoon.

How President Relieves His
Playing Anger.

Washington, D. c., June 26.-Presi-
dent Wilson has introduced a new
form of denaturi ed explosive express
sion into administration circles. Where

relief in the expression "Tut-tut." But
it is said to be no mollycoddle Tut
tut" 1t is enunciated with emphasis
and earnestness of feeling.
Robert Emmett Taylor, a 14-year-old
caddy of the Washington Country club,
told the story today. Incidentally,
| TaylC,c thinks Wilson the greatest
man in the world He is silent,
though, on the quality of the presi-
dents golf form.
The president struck the ball. said
Taylor, "and it rolled right to the edge
of the hole. l sneaked over close, for
know what they usually say when
this happens on the course. The
president looked peeved. He opened
his lips to say something and l prick,
ed up my ears.
