the Rev. Godolphin did not confine
his amOrOus attentions to the sub
sea. He was a perfectly good lands
man as well. Mrs. GOOdspeed ap-
proved of his work so highly, AYERS
Miss Walters, that she gave him a
diamond ring and many other less
expensive tokens of appreciation.
When Goodspeed learned something
of what was going on Godolphin
cooled toward Mrs. GOOdspeed and
even went so far as to return her
rings.
Miss Walters said that while she
lived at the GOOdspeed home during
1911 Mrs. Goodspeed would call Go
dolphin on the telephone and some
thing like the following would float
over the wires:
"Francis - dearest II wonder If
YOU love me as much as love you"
Bishop Mccormick of the EpiscO-
pal diocese was apPTised of the Go
dolphin Twentieth Century Subma-

letter. Miss Walters admitted writ
ing this letter to "aVOid a public
scandal"
But Oak Park needn't be too much
shocked. None of this happened
within that dignifed little suburbs
confines. The acquaintance Of Rev.
GodoIphin and Mrs. GOOdspeed dates
back to the time GOdOlphin was pas
tor of a Grand Rapids church.
At his home in Oak Park last night
the Rev. GOdOIphin was told the sub
stance of Miss Walters testimony.
ooh, horrorsr' exclaimed he. Later
he recovered sufficiently to deny in
full the charges. He said he knew
Mrs. Goodspeed, but only treated her
as he would treat any lady member
uf his flock. He denied ever going
bathing with her.

IN ON DOUBLE PLATOON
Fire insurance bosses threaten to
raise the price Of insurance unless
the double platoon ordinance is put
