■CTOR OF 64 SHEDS WIFE TO ¥ WED NURSE, 20 S*ft>mment Sunday School Teacher Says Girl Proposed to Him. THOUGHT TRAYERFULLY’ OMAHA. Neb.. June 18.—Dr. W. O. Henry, for many years one of the most prominent surgeons of Omaha, a pillar of the First Presbyterian church of this city, Sunday school teacher, member of all the prominent Omaha clubs and civic organizations, is Just now figuring as the ape* of a triangle, with his wife and a pretty trained nurse as the other angles. Mrs Henry has just been granted a dlTorce from her husband to whom she has been married for more than fort> years, and Dr. Henry haa written a boolr telling in the most nalre way all about his love affair with the young nurse. The doctor is 64, Mrs Henry is almost and the pretty nurse Is Just 20. Henrys are in Loa Angeles, where the divorce was granted, the nurse is in goath Dakota, and there will he no wedding for a year, Dr. Henry haa Informed bis Omaha friends The nurse Is Miss Hazel Henderson. She was a student nurse 1n Dr. Henry'a hospital in Omaha. She became Interested In Dr. W. O. Henry before she was graduated. Dr. Henry. In his book, says he diseorered the young girl was an orphan ■with no one look after her, so he took upon himself the Job of giving ber • Christian character. While doing so he took the pretty nurse Into his family. He says her Christian character was -developing very rapidly and then, "sud•denly, without warning, she with the deepest simplicity, said she wanted to marry me,” says the doctor. The first thing Omaha knew of the affair was when the divorce case came to trial. The filing of the petition had been accomplished without attracting any publicity and the fact that Mrs. Henry was seeking a divorce from her husband was not known until the case actually came to trial. OMAHA GASHED AT THE CASE. Then Omaha gasped. The evidence was the talk of the town. Everybody knew Dr. and Mrs. Henry. When the Baptist ministers. In regular conference, brought up the subject, they decided the doctor was either Insane or guilty of gross moral obliquity. 2 A member of the Ebell Woman’s club of Los Angeles threatened the doctor's life if he permitted his autobiography to be published in the newspapers. When the pretty nurse proposed marriage to the aged surgeon who already had a wife with whom he was living. Dr. Henry, after, as he says, carefully, prayerfully, scientifically and religiously thinking the matter over, accepted the proposal provided a way could be found. “If you really love me and need me, there la only one thing we can do,” Dr. *%T 71-T told the nurse. doctor’s plan was to frankly teli

his wife that the girl needed him In order to work out her salvation. Mrs. Henry was to obtain a divorce to allow Dr. Henry and Miss Henderson to marry. W AITED WIFE TO LIVE WITH THEM. “Then Mrs. Henry can come and live with us as a real member of the family und I will take care of you both and we will be Just as nice and fair to her as possible and both of us will do all that we can do to make her happy; this is the only scriptural thing we can do,” Dr. Henry wrote. Mrs. Henry agreed to the divorce, but almost broke the doctor's heart, of which he speaks in his autobiography, by absolutely refusing to come and live with the doctor and his new wife. In his autobiography, which appeared simultaneously with the divorce matters. the doctor likens himself to the prophet Jonah of whale fame. "After viewing the matter In as careful a way Intellectually, scientifically, religiously and prayerfully as I knew how, I had no doubt but God had given me as positive and distinct a call to preach and teach these truths to the world as he had given to Jonah to go to Nineveh and ‘preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee,' ” he writes. Following the graduation of Miss Henderson from the hospital. Dr. Henry took her into hi soffiee as his assistant. Next he took her into his home to live “as our little girl,” because boarding houses were not very satisfactory to the “beautiful, rosy cheeked, blue-eyed, auburn haired girl of Jolly disposition.'' She lived In the Henry family, going to church with them, attending their entertainments, etc., and then fairly paralyzed the doctor by proposing marriage to him. Varden, First Golfer of England, Passes 50, LONDON, June 18.—Harry Vardea, Britain’s golfing classic, has passed bis fifty-year mark, and Joined James Braid in that distinction. J. H. Taylor is the youngster of the golfing triumvirate. He will not be 50 until next March. Varden won bis first championship In 1896, and as he won the British championship In 1914 and there has been no championship play since, he still holds the title. Critics who are reviewing his “form” now in sizing up his chances in this year's “open” at Deal, say he struck his best form In 189?, 1899 and in 1911. and that hft Is now four strokes a round worse than In his best days. 8-Year Commitment Reduced_to 13 Days WHITE PLAINS, N.

U.S. SEA POWER , HELD PERIL TO GREAT BRITAIN Archibald Hurd Calls Attention to American Public Opinion. WAR SLOWED ENGLAND LONDON. June 18.—The steady rise of the United States merchant marine is the subject of an article by Orchlbald Hurd In the Dally Telegraph. He writes, in part. “The situation at sea is undergoing a remarkable change. Asa ca power Germany hag disappeared and so has Austria-Hungary. France and Italy, by the eod of this year, may occupy as favorable positions as they did in 1914. On the other hand, the United states and Japan have greatly developed their mer. cantile marines and are going to prove serious competitors during the years to come. “This is a development which was foresee® by the leaders of the British shipping industry while the war was still in progress, but they were compelled to submit not only to control but to an onerous burden of taxation at the time when Japanese and American shipping interests, ns well as those of the neutral countries, enjoyed almost complete freedom. PUBLIC BACK OF MOVE. “Many Incidents on the other side of the Atlantic render the steps which are being taken to re-establish the American merchants flag by sea of imminent in terest and importance. By the end of this year American seagoing shipping will have reached a total of nearly 14,000.000 gross tons. The shipping movement In the United States has behind it a great volume of public opinion. We are confronted with what may be re garded as a national agitation, and it will be a mistake to assume that the Americans can neither build seaworthy ships, man them nor operate them successfully. Wages in this country ashore and afloat approximate much more closely than they did to those paid on the other side of the Atlantic, and the Americans enjoy advantages In cheaper steel and cheeper coal. “Whether those advantages will be counter-balanced eventffiiily by higher wages which may be paid American seamen, as the result of the agitation now In progress in labor circles in the United States, Is a matter upon which no reliable forecast can be made. ISSUES WARNING TO BRITAIN. “It Is impossible to study the American press without being struck by the character of the movement which la now In progress to prevail upon congress to place American shipping upon a preferential basis so far as American trade is concerned. The existing shipping board has spent $300,000,000 already In building up anew American merchant navy, and the Americans want a return on their money. "These are matters which concern not only the shipping Industry of this country, but the whole community. It Is probable that Sir Joseph Mat-lay. the shipping controller, had in mind the

events which are occurring beyond our borders when he addressed the chamber of shipping the other day. He remarked that ‘generosity could sometimes be stretched too far, and when we see a wall being built up against ua, or even an indication is being given that such a wall will be built up, the time has come for the government to give very definite attention to the legislation of other countries.’ “Whatever action the government may take with reference to the policy which is being adopted in the United States and elsewhere, we may congratulate ourselves that these matters will be discussed in that atmosphere of close friendship in which a struggle in a common cause is created.” Minister Champions Cause of Dancers COLUMBUS, 0., June 18.—“ Churches I bould not place a ban on dancing. Men not be made good that way,” said lev. A. E. Cowley, Baptist minister. “Those who wont to dance will dance,” i ontinued Rev. Crowley, Irrespective of J a nature or the ban. Those who do not ranee would view the lifting of the ban is condoning of the dance. “The church aud the graveyard no longer belong together. “Christianity never has been opposed l> the God-given instinct for recreation, it does insist that people must dlstlnI ulsh between recreation and dissipation. “Ameriqans are wearing out their lerves through running after cheap t musements. Commercialism, professionalism and immorality are prostituting the 1 lay instinct for gain. “The church must do something to remold amusements. Shorter hours for the lforkw will prove a curse, -instead of a blessing, unless men can be shown how to rightly spend their leisure time.” Model Traffic Cop Never Gets Riled TOPEKA, Kas., June 18—Traffic Cop Kd Stoll is naturally good natured, but l<e always has a witticism bandy when the necessity arises. The other afternoon Stoll stopped a i toman motor car driver when she tried io pass a wagon on a street Intersection. “Why didn’t you take the wagon from in front of my car?” the irate driver dei landed. “The next time you come along this tray toot your horn. Then if there’s a wagon In your way I’ll have It thrown <(T the street,” Stoll countered with a rlin. The car moved on, but the “copper' was tbe recipient of a “cross look" as U iped away.
