iine Worcester Perkins, wife Of John T..

four sons one OF whom, Worcester, is a
Junior In Harvard. The others. Richard.

siderable mystery was wrapped about the
. shooting at first, owing to the endea vors
Of Mr.. Perkins to keep the facts OF mis-
wifes death a secret.
According to Mr.. Perkins. his wife had
not been In good health for some years.
After having her eyes examined recently
she became Ill. and for the last few days
had been attended by DR.. William Burke
and Miss Katherine German. n nurse.
Last night Mrs. Perkins was exceptionally
nervous. and Miss German was up with
her most OF the time. Shortly before @
o'clock the nurse was sent out OF tho
room by Mr.. Perkins, who then shot
herself.
Mrs. Perkins was sister OF the Rev.
Ellwood G. Worcester, rector of Emman-
uel Episcopal Church OF Boston and head
OF "The Emmanuel Movement" besides
being author of '"rhe Living Word" and
coauthor OF "Relision and Medicine" and
moral Control OF Nervous Disorders. "

Of the United States delegation to the In
ternational Opium Conference at The
Hague in 1911.
Busted as he was with this work, Bishop
Brent found time 10 engage In religious
literary work. He had been on the edi-
torial stan Of the ChWchmdn from 1897
to 1900. and he was the William Belden
Noble lecturer at Harvard in 1907
In 1912 Bishop Brent arrived in New
York from Liverpool in the steerage Of
the Caronia. When asked why he had
come that way he said: That is the
proper place for Bishop Of the Church
! am one of the people and wished to be
among the people. and I found them In
the steerage. I never had a more en-
joyable experience. II the passengers
met In the steerage are fair specimens
OF future American citizens then America
may welcome them with open arms"
Fresh from this experience Bishop Brent
visited President Wilson. In a confer.
ence with the Executive the Bishop ex-
pressed himself as favoring a progressive
development OF the islanders until they
acquired the capacity for self-govern-
ment Bishop Brent said that not until
then should independence be granted.

TRENTON, N. j. May 6.-Bishop Charles
II. Brent. now stationed In the Philip
pine Islands. was elected on the fourth
ballot to-day to succeed the late John
Scarborough as Bishop Of the Episcopal
diocese of New Jersey. Out Of ninety
clerical and seventy-two lay votes cast
Bishop Brent received seventy clerical
and sixty-one lay votes. His Ell, ction
was made unanimous.
Immediately after the formal announce
ment had been made the delegates to the
diocesan convention sent a cable messag e
to Bishop Brent informing him Of his
election and advising him that a letter
would follow.
When the balioting for the new Bishop
started with test vote last night n
number of the clericals, particularly those
with high church tendencies, started a
movement to bring about the election OF
Bishop Sheldon NJ. Griswold. now at
Salina, Neb. The movement was opposed
by most Of the lay delegates, and was
practically abandoned when balloting was
resumed this morning. On the last bal
lot taken Bishop Griswold received only
three clerical and four lay votes. The
remainder of the vote was scattering.
Although no definite assurances had
hopeful that Bishop Brent would accept
the bishopric OF New Jersey 1t was re-
called. however. that In 1906 he declined
n similar election to the bishopric of

position he was elected Bishop Of the
Philippine Islands by the General Con-
vention In 1901. He was consecrated In

atigabiy In his immense diocese. but found
time to assist in public affairs He was
made chief commissioner OF the United

Opium Commission. which took up the
growing menace OF the drug In the Far
