There was one glad CLEAN Of new in

One afternoon he was seated in his

ENGLAND EARL GETS
THREATENING NOTES
Orkney Leaves Chicago for Canada
Warned TO Stop Operating for
Britain.

Chicago, July 1S.-The Earl
of Orkney, who, with Foxhall
Keene, spent a week in Chicago
buying horses for the British
government, left secretly early
today for Canada after receiv-
ing letters in which the writer
threatened him with death if he
continued his operations.
The first letter arrived at the
Blanckstone an hour after the
earl registered. The last was
handed to him a short time be-
fore he left the hotel. 1t stated
that the earls destination in
Canada was known and that he
would be assassinated there If
he persisted in aiding his gov
eminent.
The letters were turned over
to Federal officials. The police
were notified, and during his
stay in Chicago the earl was ac-
companied wherever he went
by two detective sergeants and
two men from the Department
of Justice.
He cancelled all social engag-
ments and closed taxicabs were
used when either the earl Of
Keene left the hotel. No threats
were sent to Keene, but officials
working on the case fear that if
he is left unguarded the. crank
following the earl might attempt
to wreak his vengeance upon
him.

WAS AN ERROR
Wild Story From Fairmont Did West
Liberty Minister Rank Injustice
Was Victim Of Hold Up.

WHEELING, w. Va, July IL.
In the Intelligencer Saturday
was printed a rather sensational
dispatch from Fairmont to the
effect that Rev. r.. @. Phillips,
pastor Of the M. e. Church at
West Liberty had run down and
fatally injured a boy at Bar
racksville and was later arrested
and fined for running his auto
mobile in a reckless manner.
In justice to Rev, Phillips it
may be said the story was based
on misinformation and was with
out foundation in fact. The boy
referred to was riding bicycle
along the road and ran into the
auto himself and stated after
ward it was his own fault and
the minister was in no way to
blame. Furthermore the min
lister was not arrested but after
reaching Fairview he was called
on the phone and asked to come
to Fairmont where, upon his ar
rival, he was charged with ex-
ceeding the speed limit and was
assessed a nominal fine. This
he at first refused to pay, as he
did not care to be held up, but
finally paid the amount on the
insistence Of Mrs. Phillips, who
accompanied on the trip, to
avoid trouble. The publication
of the erroneous story did Rev.
Phillips an unintentional injus-
tice and the Intelligencer cheer
fully gives the facts to the puo-
Wheeling Intelligencer.
