The widow of Henry M. Flagler, late Standard Oil magnate, married former Judge Robert W. Bingham last November. Under her late husband's will she received a fortunte estimated at from $60,000,000 to $80,000,000. By the marriage the pair took up a severed romance of twenty years ago, when the penniless young lawyer's courtship was interrupted by the entrance of Millionaire Flagler, who won his suit. Mrs. Bingham died recently and a three-cornered fight over her fortune has developed. A mysterious order to disinter her body and conduct an autopsy is the latest phase of the case.

Here is the truth. Relations Are Cordial The utmost cordiality has and does exist between the British medical service and the Americans r who are working with them.
