With Suspenders as Weapon,
Chases Neighbor Through Street
Interrupted at Dinner With Lady Guest, Thomas
O'Keefe Offers Battle, Which Fleet Yam ViauIt
Heels Decline-Detectiue Collects Racers

Cutting the air with a menacing
pair of suspenders and racing for dear
life. a man in shirtsleeves, stripped
for action. sped down Thirteenth
street opposite Franklin School early
last night.
Just ahead of him, emulating Paavo
Nurmi and barely vacating the ether
behind him before the suspenders cut
whistiing paths in it, sped another
man.
In his little automobile, sedately OBJ
serving the speed limit, EN- route to
roll call at police headquarters, rode
Detective Sergt. Charles Weber.
He noted the race. He stepped on
the gas, forged ahead of the two
sprinters, hoped out and held up his
hand. He showed his badge and the
race stopped forthwith.
Both were taken to police head
quarters. There the man in shirt
sleeves announced he was Thomas
Francis O'Keefe, jr., of 1905 Thirteenth
street, the Raleigh Manor. The other
said he was Albert Van Vault of
1886 Sixteenth street. Both were
charged with disorderly conduct. And
the story that was pieced together
from their respective accounts was as
follows:

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Bishop Will
liam Montgomery Brown, convicted of
heresy, will appear in the Protestant
Episcopal Church OF st. Marks-in-the-
Bouwerie tomorrow, not as a preach
er, but as a participant in a sympos-
ium, Rev. DR.. William Norman Guth-
RE. rector of the church, said tonight
The sanctuary will be hidden behind
heavy roll of canvas and because of
this, DIR. Guthrie believes. the church
will be turned into an auditorium and
he will not be liable to punishment
for conduct unbecomings a clergy
man."
In letter yesterday to Dr. Guthrie.
Bishop William T. Manning warned
him that Bishop Brown would not be
allowed to officiate or speak in any
church in the diocese and said that
defiance of this structure would be a
violation of one of the canons of the
church. .,
DR.. Guthrie in statement giving
his reasons for refusing to cancel the
bishops appearance, said:
Ruling Is Evaded.
AT st. Marks we always veil the
sanctuary for symposium and treat
the rest of the church as an audi.

Van Vault walked in. He was an
acquaintance OF Mrs. Sonnemann.
He nodded to her, and walked up TO
the parlor of the apartment-hotel. She
made her excuses to OKeefe, and
also went to the parlor to converse
with Van Vault. O'keefe disappeared
from the dinner table.
When hes later appeared in the par
lor he was coatless, had his sleeves
rolled up and pair of suspenders in
his hand. Van Vault later said that
he didn't want to engage in combat
because he was afraid that if. he hit
O'Keefe. he might be arrested for as.
sault. So Van Vault started away.
His departure was precipitous, The
Raleigh Manor Is above L street. Van
Vault gained the street and headed
south. He passed l. street on high.
O'Keefe was not far to the rear. 1t
was after the pair had settled down
to real footwork that Detective Weber
spoiled the race and started a pro-
cedure which ultimately resulted in
the deposit of $50 collateral by
O'Keefe and similar deposit by Van
Vault to obtain liberty pending a
preliminary hearing.
Mr.. Sonnnemann is a radio operator
in New York City. Mrs. Sonnemann
said O'Keefe was a friend of her hus-
band.

State Senator Claims Victory
in Test of Right to Make
Home Brew.


MILWAUKEE,, April 1S.-The long
heralded cider party" of State Sena-
tor Bernard Gettelman was held to-
night at his home here, four hours
after squad of Federal agents
headed by John B. Madden, chief of
the Federal enforcement unit, visited
the place in futile efforts TO get q
chemical test of fruit juices" to be
served.
Senator Gettelman claimed a vic
tory for himself and Mr.. Madden
claimed victory for the Government.
The senator declared he proved
that under Section % of the Volstead
act, the working mans home is inn
mune for search in cases OF fruit
juice manufacture. because he refused
the dry agents admittance. and they
left without samples.
Mr.. Madden said he called Gettel-
mans bluff" and that the Senator
took an ignomious fall" because he
told the world he was making wine
and cider of more than one-half Of
one per cent alcoholic content" and
then when the agents wanted to
test the stuff he declared he had moth
ing in the house but sacramental
wines"
Despite Senator Gettelman's state
ment to Mr.. Madden that his house
held only sacramento wine. he served
his 80 guesets with what he claimed
was homemade wine and cider of
from 8 to 3 per cent alcoholic con-
tent.
The Rev. G.. II. Kenneth MacInnis,
dry leader, failed to appear, although
invited. Among the 80 guests were
Frank E. Davidson. chairman OF the
Republican county committee, and
John E. Ferris. Republican candidate
for lieutenant governor in the 1924
election.
II made this wine and cider" Sena-
tor Gettelman told his guests. 1T con-
tains in excess Of one-haif OF I per

is perfectly legal.

Pauls Cathedral in London, and fire.
quently referred to by the English press
as the gloomy dean" arrived today on
the steamship Mauretania for series
of lectures at Yale University. Re
puted one of the most brilliant of mod

his strong convictions on many topics
of the day. Dean Inge, with his wife,
met interviewers in the second-clasS
lounge. in which class they travelled.
His answers, frequently cryptic
and witty, brought laughter from his
hearers.
Silent on Modernism.
There was one subject he would not
discuss. That was the controversy
between the fundamentalists and the
modernists in the Episcopal Church.
Questioned concerning his views on
the present controversy between
Bishop William T. Manning and DR..
William Norman Guthrie, rector of st.
Marks-in the Bouwerie. over DR..
Guthrie's invitation to former Bishop
William Montgomery Brown, con-
victed of heresy, to speak at st.
Marks. Dean Inge said:

matter. l don't care to discuss liber;

trouble in New York for doing it. /
see that one has Just been suspended

Doubts Church Union.
Concerning the doctrine of the
Virgin birth, he said:
II should not say that the belief

II is an historical question which must
be Judged on historical evidence" The
difficulties of church union, he
thought, were too great ever TO bring

He said he favored the Ambulance

POISON NOT FOUND
IN BODY OF OLSON
CoToner's Chemist Detects
Only Little Mercury, Prob
ably Due to Medicine.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. April 1S.-Except for a
small amount of mercury, which DR..
w. D. McNaliy, coroner's chemist.
said he believed due to medication,
no poisons were found in the exam
ination of the vital organs of DR.. Os-
car Olson, whose body was exhumed
in connection with the investigation
into the death of William n. McClin-
took, millionaire orphan, the doctors
report to Coroner Oscar Wolff tonight
said.
Dr. Olson died three years ago
After the death of young McClintock
Shepherd, McClintocks foster father
principal heir. for his murder by
Harry Olson, DR.. Olson's brother, and
the man who instigated the McClin
took inquiry. asked for the exhuma-
ton of the bodies Of DR.. Olson and
of Mrs. Emma Nelson McChntock,
young McClintock's mother, who died
Is years ago.
Poison Found i'm Mother.
In the body of Mrs. McClintock. ac-
made several days ago, enough mer-
curry was found to have caused
death. Two weeks ago it was an
nounced that some mercury was
found in both bodies. but the amount
had not been determined. Later 1t
was announced that a large amount
had been found in Mrs. McClintock S
body.
Except for formaldehyde due to the
embalming fluid and for certain prod
ucts of decomposition, the tests for
volatile poisons and for all other
poisons were negative, the report of
DR.. McNally said, with the exception
that a very small amount of mercury
was found in the intestineS.
81 believe this was due to medica-
ton" DIR. McNally said. The request
for exhumation of the body of DR..
Olson was made after Judge Olson
said he had learned that Shepherd
had been with his brother alone few
hours before death.
Did Not Expect Poison.
At the time the bodies We're ex-
humed, Judge Olson said that he hard
ly expected that an examination of
his brothers body would reveal any
traces of poison. He said he had a
theory that some poison, trace of
which would disappear within short
time, had been administered to his
brother.
Coroner Wolff did not supplement
the report of his chemist with state
ment as he did when the findings in
connection with the examination of
Mrs. McClintock's body were made
public. Robert H. Grove, states at
torney, also remained silent. Mr..
Grove had already announced, how
ever, that no further indictments will
be sought in connection with the case
until the coroner's jury has completed
it's investigation.
After the results of the autopsy on
DR.. Olson's body were made known,
it was announced that the inquest
over the bodies of William McClin-
took, Mrs. McClintcck and DIR. Olson
would be resumed next Tuesday
afternoon.

Superior Reach of Newark Boy Too ' Much for Rival in Ten
 Round Bout.

Boston, Feb. 11.--Charlie Wenert, Newark heavyweight, won the de- cision last night in his ten-round bout with Jack Sharkey, of Boston. Wcinert weighed 1s4 pounds and Sharkey ISSh. The fight was close until the beginning of the eighth round, Weinert winning the judges decision by the effectiveness of his left hand jab,.
 The fight was fast and clean throughout. Neither man scored 8 knockdown.
