Gerald Wheeler of PAP Walnut street faces the charge of auto- mobile homicide in connection with the death on May 4th of Mrs. Ade- line Higgins. The latter. 6 pas senger in Wheeler's machine, was yo badly injured in an automo- bile crash on the Naugatuck road on the evening of May 3rd that she died the following day in St. Mary's hospital of a compound fracture of the skull. For several hours the authorities were under the impress sion that the injured woman was Miss Alice McGrath, which was the name given when she was admitted to the hospital.
 Coroner John T. Monzani in an official finding recorded with the clerk of the superior court to-day finds Wheeler criminally negligent in causing Mrs. Higgins death. The accident occurred as the party was returning home from Bridgeport. Their car crashed into truck.
 The finding:
 Having been notified on the 3rd day of May, A. D. 1881, that an un- known woman of unknown age. possibly Alice McGrath, lay in im- mlnent danger or deaLn at St. Mary's hospital in the town of Wa terbury, New Haven county, Con- necticut, as the result of injuries sustained on said day at the town of Naugatuck in said county, l at once made all proper inquiry re- specting the manner and cause of her said condition. After said in- quiry and having reason to suspect said condition was caused by the criminal act, omission or careless ness of another or others, I held an inquest to determine the man. ner and cause of said condition. Having been later informed on May 4th. 1881 of the death of Adeline Higgins. identified as the person originally reported as unknown and possibly Alice McGrath, a white female, thirty-two years of age, I continued said inquest to determine the manner and cause of said death. Said inquest was conducted at the towns of Naugatuck and Water bury. The following named wit nesses were examined:

Pastor; To Act on Letter

After 81 years of service in
the pulpit Of the Vermont Ave.
nue. Christian Church, during
which he gave tireless effort to
make possible the construction Of
the new $1,5Oo,OoO Thomas Circle
Christian Church, the naGional
edifice of that religion, DR.. Earle
Whitley yesterday was forced
through i'll health to submit his
resignation to his congregation,
He had preached but one sermon
in the church he worked so hard
to build.
The church at Thomas Circle
was dedicated last October al
the international and world con.
vention of the Disciples of Christ.
Shortly after the ceremonies DR..
Whitley was stricken and has
never completely recovered. His
friends believe that he has felt
himself called upon to resign be
cause he is not sufficiently strong
to carry on the aggressive worH
expected of a pastor Of new
church of this character.
His resignation was read from
the pulpit yesterday by Green
H. Hackworth, chairman of the
official board of the church, and
will be acted upon at the annual
congregational meeting Thursday

Evening star., 1931-11-29

officers and men of the 1st Battalion,
United States Naval Reserves OF the
District of Columbia, renewed their &C
quaintance last week with the officers
and men of the Regular Navy aboard
the u. S. destroyer Hamilton, when
that vessel arrived here and docked at
the Washington Navy Yard for three
months stay 1t was on this vessel OF
the Atlantic Training Fleet that the
various divisions of the local battalion
made their annual sea voyages during
the Summer to Bermuda for training
purposes.
The Hamilton is the training vessel
assigned to the Reserve organizations in
the fifth naval district since the Gov
ernment'S economy move resulted in
the removal of the destroyer Abel P.
Upshur from here and her transfer to
the Coast Guard as patrol boat.
When not making annual cruises the
vessel, according to Navy Department
plans, is to visit ports IN the area where
are located battalions of the Naval Re
serve and allow these organizations to
use it on drill nights for instruction
purposes for officers and men.
The local battalion officials expect to
get considerable good out of the visit
of the vessel here, and already Lieut..
Harold E. Richardson, commanding
officer of the local battalion, is planning

all fleet divisions, of 4o.6 per cent.
This is declared to be a slight i'm
provement over 1929, when the loss
was 41.9 per cent. The turnover loss,
it was said, does not include men lost
through expiration of enlistment and
consists mainly Of men lost through
transfer to the volunteer branch of
the Reserve. Generally, it was ex-
planned, these men are transferred on
account cf failure to attend drills,
either through lack of interest or by
reason of moving, night work, etc.
Some divisions, it was stated, have
been able to keep the loss to mini
mum and at the same time to keep
up the drill attendance. The turn
over losses in the twelfth district, s1
per cent; ninth district, 484 per cent,
and fourth district, 469 per cent, are
considered by the reporting officers to
be exceptionally high and it was said
that they should be greatly reduced
during the current period. The beard
of regular officers commented that
certainly little real progress in mobili-
zation efficiency can be expected with
SO many men entering and leaving
the Naval Reserve each year.
