Fast Train Undoubtedly Would

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2S.-Presi-
dent-elect Wilson escaped possibly in
jury or death in a train wreck by the
narrow space of five minutes today.
AS 1t turned out, the only i'll effect the
president-elect suffered was a delay Of
40 minutes in getting here from Prince
ton to see his dentist The train i'm
mediately ahead of the one on which
Mr.. Wilson was riding broke rail
near Philadelphia. A track walker dis
covered the broken rail just five min
utes before Wilson's train passed The
train bearing the president elect was
Tagged and later proceeded on a freight
track
Owing to the great speed at which it
was travelling, the president elects
train would undoubtedly have been ter
ribly wrecked, as the break in the rail
was ten inches long.

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 G. Broughton, who recently
resigned the pastorate and went to
London. declared with heat that there
was nothing in it.
u am getting tired OF the newspapers
trying to run our church" he asserted
in closing an interview.
1t appears that the pastor, Rev.
Clement A. Ridley, and certain mem
bers of the Central Baptist have been
approached "unofficially." 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 DIR. Ridley said:
q 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, I don't think it would be
the best thing to do in this case. The
Tabernacle has a great opportunity to
maintain a great preaching place, and
Central church has an opportunity to
touch as many lives for God as any
congregation in the city. Each has it's
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 1,500 people. DR. Ridley's salary
was increased $500 a year.
Dr. Ridley will present another Bible
scene in his talk, Death at a Frolic,"
