WILSON MAY JOIN
CHEVY CHASE CLUB,
BUT WILL PAY DUES

TRENTON. y. j., Feb. 2S-Presi
ent-elect Wilson today explained his
declination of the offer of the Chevy
Chase club Of Maryland to elect him to
honorary membership by saying that
If he ever joins the club he prefers to
do so in the ordinary way and pay dues.
Perhaps my letter to the club was
not clear on this point" he said, and
shall write another today. If have
any time to play golf while | am in
Washington. | shall certainly Join the
Chevy Chase club"
President elect Wilson was dis
tressed when he learned that The New
York Evening Mail had printed story
headed WILSON'S Message Pleases Wall
Street
The story refers to the president
elects inaugural address, which has
been sent out for release on March 4.
If the inaugural address has been cX-
hibited in Wall Street it was breach
of confidence and the president does not
hesitate to characterize it as such in
strong language. He will make inqui-
ries in an effort to fix the full respon-
siblity.

TALK Of MERGER
inks TABERNACLE.
Pastor of the Central Baptist
Church Not Favorable to
Congregations Joining.

Members of the Baptist Tabernacle
denied today that there had been any
official" attempt to join the Baptist
Tabernacle with the Central Baptist
church. Dr. Joseph Broughton. brother
of DR.. Len c. Broughton, who recently
resigned the passionate and went tC
London declared with heat that there
was nothing in it.
Il am getting tired of the'newspapers
trying to run our church" he asserted
in closing an interview.
It appears that the pastor. Rev
Clement A. Ridley, and certain men,
bers of the Central Baptist have been
approached "unoff1cially," but have
given little encouragement to the prop
osition because the section vacated by
the Tabernacle would be left without a
Baptist church. According to a type
written statement furnished to the
newspapers DR.. Ridley said:
Il have been approached on the mat
ter, but it does not appeal to me. 1t
is a difficult matter to unite two sep
arate and distinct congregations in two
different sections of the city, and if it
could be done, | don't think it would be
the best thing to do in this case The
Tabernacle has great opportunity to
maintain q great preaching place, and
Central church has an opportunity to
touch as many lives for God as any
congregation in the city. Each has its
place in the life and work of the city
and each trusting God. will do a great
work"
The finance board of the Central
church met last night and decided to
build a roof garden for the church, to
seat $500 people. Dr. Ridleys salary
was increased $500 a year

HAD BUSINESS
TROUBLES IN CHARLOTTE

CHARLOTTE, n. c., Feb. 28-A
whole souled fellow, but a high liver
and man who spent his money, is the
way J. A. Appelbaum is described here.
Appebaum, after coming to this city
about the first of 1912 from Gastonia,
was instrumental in the organization
of the Carolina Speciality and Supply
Company. which dealt in mill supplies.
He later became interested in the Dry
ola Neneering Company, which origi-
mated and offered for sale a material
that was in some demand for the pol
fishing of furniture and woodwork. APP
pelbaum secured 4 home of his own
here after short residence in the city.
but this was not all paid for when he
left the city, some five weeks ago. with
his wife.
When it was learned that Appclbaum
was on tine point of leaving, he was
approached by the parties from whom
he had purchased his home in Eliza
beth Heights, and he then was per-
suaded to make a deed to his property
to a third party, in order to protect
to avoid selling the property under
mortgage The accepted version is
that he was leaving without showing
any intention of settling the transac-
ton while in the city.
The greater part of the furniture,
# is declared. was taken in hand by
local merchants who had sold to APP
pelbaum, but who had not received the
expected money for the house furnish
ings.
Appelbaum is understood to have
lived in Chicago before coming to North
Carolina. Little is known of his fam
ily relationships outside the general re-
port that there were marital chickering's.
to which however, no serious atten-
tion VAS given.
The couple were quite well known.

trend of this So called love by women
of the world and to study its effect, and
have become convinced that it is alb
normal. 1t is more of disease 1t is
unlike the love lavshed on a man by a
woman of refined nature and tastes. a
woman of modesty. This woman can
better smother her feelings-she can
suffer alone the pangs of her heart.
Il have found that the woman Of the
world is different. When she fastens
the fangs of her fascination and infat-
uation on a man, her affection becomes
subtly vicious. There's not the same
tender sensation that exists in the
heart of the modest woman. And when
jealousy begins to rankle in the heart of
the woman of the world, she becomes
desperate. Her finer feelings gone she
is more prone to violent resentment
and is more easily driven to extreme
means and bloodshed to cheat her hated
rival.
Tragic End Logical Fate.
"A tragic end is the logical fate of a
man enmeshed by woman of the
world. Judging by the evidence, I'm
satisfied this is the story of Appel
baums death He had received tender
love missives from another woman
that is, they were intended for him, but
were intercepted by his wife-shortly
afterward he was shot to death. I'm
satisfied the woman did the shooting.
and that she was prompted to the deed
by that morbid desperation born of the
diseased love of a woman of the world
"A study of statistics will show that
there is no infatuation as strong as that
of a woman of the world, and none so
dangerous.

HUSBAND MET LOGICAL
FATE, SAYS LANFORD

jerome A. Appelbaum met his logi-
cal fate.
The woman Of the world loves with
affection is more of a disease than love.
Jealousy in the heart of such d wom-
an breeds frenzy and desperation, and
generally a thirst for blood.
She can not control her emotions
and smother her feelings as can the
woman of modesty and refinement.
whose love is normal and reaI-not
merely a wild tnfatuation."
Chief of Detectives Newport Lanford
today thus summed up the Dakota ho-
tel tragedy.
His diagnosis" came. following a
careful study of all of the elements fig
uring in this strange story of love, mys-
terry and death.
Chief Lanford, who has had many
years of experience in the trailing of
criminals and the solving of strange
and weird mysteries of life and tragedy.
declared the Staying of Appelbaum to
be merely criminal history repeating
itself"
History of Such Tragedies.
1t has been the history of all such
tragedies, he said, that one or the other
or the principals had a dark past" and
that the tragic end came through the
laVlshing of a diseased affection.
When man permits himself to he

life in their hands," said the chief.

baum shooting mystery for publication.
Inc man who was one of the principals
in the noted Grace case. which in many
instances parallels the current APPEL
baum shooting. in heated terms placed
the blame for the enigmatic affair upon
the eternal struggle between the sexes
Grace points out that the only differ

of the one in the Hotel Dakota was that
ne was wounded in fit of anger bv his
wife while all signs point to the fact
that the Dakota bath room death drama
was the result of weeks and weeks of
connubial unhappiness.
The Vampire Woman.
Grace in his statement declares that
speaking from his own experience he
has had with the vampire type of wom-
an there is nothing conceived by God
or nature more dangerous than such a
character"
Grace declares that such women have
been the downfall of men. races and
cities, and declares the type is the
most effective of all the devils machi-
nations.
AS a producer Of results for the
devil says Grace, she is his best in
stTument."
Grace further says:
The vampire woman has robbed me-
of my all in all. Others of her ilIl
have robbed the world of treasures in

contrives and causes tragedy, disaster
