That Disinterment Occurred
Last Tuesday Night

WILMINGTON, y. c., Sept. 22.-Rep-

the reported elimination of the body of
his late wife, who was formerly Mrs.
Henry w. Flagler, Shepard Bryan, one
OF the most prominent attorneys of At

afternoon.
He begun at once an investigation Of
reports relative 20 the elimination Of
the body, with the idea Of finding out
whether the body has been disturbed.

derstood that he failed TO obtain any
information through a local attorney

er, declining 70 give out anything about
what had taken place in the cemetery
in reference 10 Mrs. Bingham's body.
The opinion prevails, however, that he
soon will get the information he de-
sires.
The general impression in Wilmington
now is that the body was eXhumed on
Tuesday night or early Wednesday
morning, and there are many circum-
stances to bear out this belief
The suggestion is made tonight that
there is a probability of some action
being taken against those who are said
10 have been concerned with the disin-
terment Of the body. There is North
Carolina law that provides if ANY per
son shall without due process Of law

One-half Of the estate Of Mrs. Blng'

to Conserve Students

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Exemp-
ton of dental students from military
service under the draft law was urged
upon the President to-day by Senator
Lodge, at the suggestion Of the facul-

Mr.. Lodge believes that on account of
the demonstrated usefulness of dentists
in military hospitals during the war the
government should exercise the same
care in conserving this talent that il
has already taken in the matter Of
medical students, who have been eX-
en- pied from the draft by a special rul-
ing.
An amendment 10 the national de-
fence act, now pending before the SEN
ate Military Affairs Committee. intro
duced by Senator Lodge, proposes that
dentists be given equivalent rank and
pay in the army and navy to doctors.
