End Comes to Builder of Over-
the-Sea Railroad at His
Home in Florida.
WEST PALM BEACH. FLA., May
2u. Henry M. Flagler, wealthy rail
road builder and owner, died here to
day.
Mr. Flagler had b»en sick for three
month*, although it was thought sev
eral weeks ago that he would recover.
Mr. and Mrs. Flagler came here in
February. At that time he was suf
fering from excessive nervousness, A
general breakdown followed.
Mr. Flagler died at 10 o’clock. The
end was peaceful. To those at the
bedside it seemed that the sick man
died in his sleep. Among those in the
death ehamber were Mrs. Flagler and
Mrs, Harry Hirkness Flagler.
The body will be placed in thd mau
soleum in the Flagler plot at St. Au
gustine The date of the funeral
probably will not he fixed until to
night.
Mr. Flagler, one of America’s fore
most financial giants, and known In
the South as the "King of Florida,"
was born in a little village Just south
of Rochester, N Y. in 1850. His fa
ther was pastor of the village church,
and at the age of 14 Henry decided
that his mother and sister could get
along more comfortably If he ceased
to be one of the family burden.
Goes Out to Seek Fortune.
So he started from home, with a
few dollars In his pocket, and grad
ually worked his way westward to
Republic, Ohio, where he went to
work in a country store for $5 per
month and board.
Strict economy soon enabled young
Flagler to open a grain business in
Bellevue, Ohio. And here began a lit
tle business which ultimately result
ed In the formation of the greatest
corporation In the world.
Mr. Flagler used to ship his ear-
loads of grain to Cleveland, where it
was sold for him by a young com
mission merchant named John D.
Rockefeller.

(Irows Bitter.
The bitter controversy which
for the past two days has be°n
rife within the ranks of the
Northern Assembly regarding the
Union Theological Seminary of
New York, was brought to a sud
den close late Tuesday with the
adoption of a motion by Dr. Mark
A. Matthews that a committee of
seven be appointed to investigate
the charges of heresy against the
Seminary and report at next
years meeting.
Dr. Matthe ws' proposal was ac-~
cepted almost unanimously by a
rising vote.
Immediately after the question
was settled, the entire meeting

Wife Becomes Insane.
Mr. Flagler's second marriage v -
curred In 188.?, and in the next ten
years his fortune increased by leap*
and bounds. His wife became the
mistress of a fine mansion on Fifth
Avenue, Nfew York, as well as a pala
tial country home on Long Island and
in Florida, and to all cutward ap
pearances Henry M. Flagler was the
happiest man in the world. Then a
terrible misfortune came into his lifo.
His wife's mind became unbalanced.
The grief-stricken man kept the awful
truth hidden as long as possible. He
paid thousands and thousands of dol
lars to alienists in the hope of re
storing her mentality, but her condi- I
tion gradually grew worse.' When, i.i I
1899, the unfortunate woman finally
became unmanageable, the Standard
Oil magnate was forced to have Ins |
wife declared legally insane.
Divorces Insane Wife.
The following year a law was
passed by the Florida Legislature, j
whereby permanent insanity was 1
made ample grounds for a divorce. It ;
was alleged at the time that this Inw i
was passed for the benefit of Mr. j
Flagler, who had come to be a power I
in Florida as a result of his vast
railroad and hotel enterprises.
He devoted a great deal of his I
money and energy toward the up- j
building of the State of Florida, and j
making the southeastern peninsula I
one of the greatest winter resorts
in the world. His greatest work in
this connection was the completion
recently of the extension of the Flor
ida East Coast Railway from :
Knights’ Key to Key West, w hich is j
known as the "railroad over the sea."
This stretch of track is 156 miles
in length and connects the chain of \

Blessings Flow."
Stormy outbursts, silenced by the
active gavel of Moderator Stone, only
to break out afresh, marked the bitter
Unlpn Theo/ogical Seminary contro
versy on tne floor of t>u Northern
Presbyterian Assembly Tuesday fore
noon.
Half a dozen men were on their
feet simultaneously, clamoring for
recognition by the chair. Toward the
close of ike forenoon s' sslon, the dis
cussion was involved n a tangle . f
parliamentary procedure, from which
relief was obtained only by the recess
taken until the afternoon.
The intense feeling of the commis
sioners cropped out in many different
ways, and the moderator was able to
maintain a semblance* of order only
with the greatest difficulty.
"Sit Down.” tho Cry.
An Unexpected but futile effort was
made to avoid the if»sue by tabling the
resolution condemning the seminary.
The majority, however, were eager to
have the question settled once and for
all.
Dr. Howard Agnew Johnston, pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church.
Stamford, Conn., was the author • >?
the motion to postpone a 'Mon indefi
nitely.
"Sit down!" some militant preacher
at the side of the room shouted as
soon as he realized the import of th«
motion.
The eys of Moderator Stone blazed
as he pounded thunderously with his
gavel.
"I want no such expression in this
Assembly," he ordered. "1 am saving
this to th» man who made that
mark. I do not care who he may be."
Spirited Defense.
The debate proper had not begun
w hen the morning session adjourned
Dr. Francis Brown. ^resident of the
s- mlnary w lpch is under fire, wa?
permitted to close the remarks which
he had started when the s s>’on ad
journed Monday afternoon. After this
ensued the maelstrom of motions add
points of order that kept th» session
in a turmoil until recess.

fense of Union! Seminary, its direc
tors and its fat

Many women \vt:| among the si
tators in the packed balcony when the
debate was started by Dr. Francis
Browp, president of Union Seminary.
The walls were lined by several score
of men, who were compelled to stand.
Even the upper gallery had Its fringe
of keenly interested listeners.
In the main auditorium every seat
was taken. Ushers were instructed to
I keep the doors barred while the rie-
I bate was in progress.
Moderator Stone ruled at the open
ing of the discussion that there should
be no disorder of any sort. To Insure
the carrying out of his order, he for
bade applause of any sort during or
after the speeches.
He called upon Dr. Henry Rloar.e
Coffin, one of tlie instructors in Union
Theological Seminary, and Rev. C. A.
R. Janvier, of Philadelphia, to invoke
the aid of God in deciding the ques
tion.
In spite of Moderator Stone’s ruling
that there should be no applause or
manifestation of approval or disap
proval, there was h marked murmur
of dissent when President Brown, of
Union Seminary, declared that he
metophorioally V.p.f. been met at the
door of the Assembly nail with a club
with which it was purposed fro "break
his head."
"Waiting With Club.”
“It is* as though you had invited a
friend to vour home under the pre
tense of hospitality.” he declared, "and
then had met him at the door to crack
open his skull.
"Of the second minority report I
knew nothing until ten days ago. It
was signed by one man only, and he a
member of tho committee for only a
few months His report and his opin
ions had not been made a subject of
conference. They were as unexpected
as a thunderbolt.
"All of these criticisms, however,
can be met without any difficulty. The
author has been grossly misinformed
and mistaken. In the first place, tne
annulling of the agreement of 1870
was done on the advice of two dis
tinguished lawyers, who advised the
direc tors they had gone too far undti*
the provisions in the charter in mak
ing tiup agreement at all."
Resents Charges.
Dr. Brown named the men who had
been in charge of the affairs of the
seminary for years as an evidence
that it had been in the hands of
capable. God-fearing directors and
j instructors.
He grew bitter when he came to
comment on the arraignment of Wil-
! liam Adams Brown, professor of sys-
| tematic theology in the seminary.
"That criticism was most unjust
and unwarranted." declared President
j Brown. "Professor Brown is one of
j the most ardent, earnest and sin-
j' ere Presbyterians in this Assembly.
! So to attack his religious principles
| was cruel and not supported by any
j evidence Terms were used that
never should be used by one Chris
tian in reference to another Christian
j or to any human being.
That reference, too. to Hindu
j philosophy w as a simple travesty—
a simple travesty! I find it more dif
ficult so be calm at this time. I don’t
want to lose* my temper, but such
unjust and unsupported charges have
been nurled at this seminary that re
straint is not wholly possible.
Remember that the seminary asks
nothing, seeks nothing. It is not rep -
resented here voluntarily. It camel
on invitation. We want to be of ser
vice to the Presbyterian Church, but
if you can not use us, we do not
care to try.
"The members of the faculty have
given evidences of their Christian
faith that should be accepted if the
matter is considered at all. I hold,
however, that discussion on the sec
ond minority report should have no
place on this floor, as the report was
never made a subject of conference.
"In regard to the students going
forth from our seminary, I want to
deny the scurriloiis stories which
have gone forth about the country.
There is not a single man from the
seminary who has been licensed by a
presbytery who has denied his belief
In the atoning work of Jesus, the res
urrection of the Lord and the other
fundamental doctrines concerning
which we have been accused of lack
of faith.”
Dr. Brown spoke quietly and with
out any evidence of rancor until he
came to discuss the charges of Chris
tian infidelity lodged against his sem
inary and its faculty. Then his voice
rose and he lost the poise that had
characterized his calm discussion of
the legal phase of the seminary's ac
tion in abrogating the agreement of
1870.
The friends of the seminary ap
plauded lightly when Dr. Brown was
finished, despite the injunction of the
moderator that there was to be no
manifestation whatever of approval
or disapproval.
The moderator followed the address
of Dr. Brown by a statement of the
procedure which would be employed
in taking up the formal debate on
the reports. The confusion which
developed was largely the result of
a shower of varying suggestions of
slightly different lines of procedure
the commissioners thought advisable.
When recess came it was practical
ly decided that every speaker would
have 10 minutes in which to debate
the reports. One report was to be
discussed by a speaker favorable to
it. then by one of its adherents and
after this the third.
If any person in the Assembly had
a proposition not coinciding with any
of the three reports, he was to he
given the opportunity of presenting
his views after the others had con
cluded.
When the round had been made, the
first report was to be taken up again,
and this procedure repeated until the
Assembly was ready to take a vote.
Before the voting, Dr. William G.
W ylie. of New York, who presented
the majority report favorable to the
seminary; Dr. John Davies, of Phila
delphia. who presented the first un
favorable minority report: Dr. F. O.
Monfort, of Cincinnati, the author of
the second minority report, which was
strongest in its accusations of heresy,
and President Brown, of the seminary!
were to be allowed ten minutes each
for summing up their arguments.
"There Is to be no lobbying or poli
tics in this debate." said .Moderator
Stone, firmly. "I shal iendeavor to
be guided by the Spirit of God and mv
bef»t Christian judgment, and r pray
that you will do the same. I shall
try to be fair. I shall try to favor no
side above antoehr. If I make a !
ruling that may be questioned by you, |
I shall be giad to take you into my
confidence and tell you exactly why J I
do it” 1

Southern Body Stirred by
New Statement of Belief
The amended brnef statement of be
lief was adopted by the assembly by
a vote of 119 to 64.
A motion to adopt the ad interim
committee's report on the statement
of belief, as read by Dr. J. M. Wells,
created a furor of discussion at
Tuesday’s session of the Southern
Assembly.
The statement is a corrected form
of that drawn up by last year’s com
mittee. After it was read, Dr. T. S.
Knox, of Texas, opened the discus
sion by declaring first that it w T as
wholly unnecessary.
"The adoption of this statement
would make void all possibilities of a
union between the three Presbyterian
bodies.” declared Dr. Knox. “The
article is not only bad grammar but
it is also bad theology.’\
Cries of shame followed Dr. Knox’s
speech.
"It is outrageous," declared Dr. Mc-
Pheetei*s, "that such words should be
uttered in a Presbyterian church."
Dr. A. P. Gregory, of Tennessee,
spoke, declaring that the statement
was badly needed. Dr. J. B. Works,
of Texas, contradicted Dr. Knox's as
sertion that the change was not de
sired in the W r est, by stating that it
would be welcomed in that district.
Following other short .addresses, the
motion was tabled until the after
noon session.
The change in the basis of repre
sentation, which has become a law by
the enactment of the General Assem
bly of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, will increase materially the
representation to future Assemblies.
The change means that in future
the commissioners to the General As
sembly shall be chosen as follows:
Every Presbytery s'hall be entitled to
elect one minister and one elder as
commissioners, and all Presbyteries
where the combined membership of
ministers and communicants exceed
4.000 will be entitled to elect one min
ister and one elder additional. This
ratio will continue with the addition
of each four thousand members in the
Presbytery.
Among the first features of the As
sembly Tuesday morning was the
fraternal messenger from the General
Assembly of the United Presbyterian
Church.
The “special order ' for 2:30 o’clock
Tuesday afternoon was a report of
the committee on foreign correspond
ence.
Beneficence Discussed.
Consideration of the report of the
standing committee on systematic
beneficence was resumed. The part of
the report presented was with refer
ence to the permanent committee of
systematic beneficence.
The only item of the report that
provoked discusison was that with
reference to the restoration of the
power of the permanent committee to
nominate members and secretaries of
the excutive committees of- the As
sembly. This power formerly be
longed to the committee, but was
taken from it at the Assembly of 1912
The report of the standing commit
tee recommended the restoration of
this power, but with the provision
tnat it should not deprive any other
member of the Assembly rimilar right.
Dr. W. M, F. Alexander opposed the
rei'toraation of this power, upon the.
ground that it would mean too much
centralization of power; that in time
the association of this committee with
the executive committees might beget
upon the part of members of the lat
ter the disposition to bow to the for
mer in order to receive nomination for
the committees.
Ciyce to the Defense.
Dr. T. S. Ciyce met this opposoition
with the statement that he had been
a member of the Permanent Commit
tee on Systematic Beneficence when
it possessed the power under consid
eration and that there was no log
rolling on the part of any one; furth
er, that it is not likely there would
be such at any time. He urged that
the Assembly have more concentra
tion of power in the transactions of
its business.
The report of the committee was
adopted and the power of the Perma
nent Committee was restored.
The time for uniting alt Presbyte
rian churches is not yet ripe. This
is the decision of the Southern Pres
byterian Church, unanimous appar
ently. If there were any who opposed,
they fajled to voice their sentiment
against* such* an overwhelming vote
for the retention of the Southern
church’s individuality.
Report of the committee on over
tures against uniting was adopted al
most unanimously. It stated that the
time w r as not just ripe for the uniting
of the Southern church with other
branches of the Presbyterian. The
fact that negotiations are already un
der way between the Southern Pres
byterian Church and the United
ed. the present time appeared as
inopportune for a discussion of union.
The beneficence committee’s report
recommended that the percentage for
foreign missions be cut from 60 to 54
per cent; that home missions receive
27 instead of 21 per cent; Christian
education and ministerial relief to
receive 14 1-2 instead of 14 per cent,
and Sunday school publications re
duced from 4 to 3 1-2 per cent.

Ben McDonnold and Miss Haribel President Wilson Likely to Name
Colson-, 18, Are Principals in
Near-Runaway Match.
Ben McDonnold. a postoffice clerk,
and his bride, who was Miss Haribel
Colson, enjoyed a honeymoon of near
ly two days before their friends found
out what had happened. They were
married Sunday, but it was not until
to-day that the news went out and
congratulations began coming in.
The bride, is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H. W. Colson, 257 Crumley
Street, and the bridegroom a son of
Mr. and Mrs. W. O. McDonnold. of
College Park. They were married at
3 o'clock Sunday afternoon by the
Rev. V. C. Norcross at his residence,
Druid Hills. The only attendants—
and the only ones who knew of the
marriage until to-day—were the
bridegroom's brothers and sh'ter, Hoke
McDonnold. Paul McDonnold and Mr.
and Mrs. Frank R. Willingham.
It was not exactly a runaway affair,
but was the next thing to i; f for the
veung couple told their parents noth
ing about their intentions. The wed
ding was the culmination of a ro
mance begun in Birmingham just be
fore Christmas.
The bride's father is claim agent
for the A., B. & A. Railroad, having
moved to Atlanta only two months
ago. McDonnold met Miss Colson
while clerking in her father's* office,
but it was not known they were at
tached to one another.
But Colson moved to Atlanta—and
so did McDonnold. He started wooing
in earnest, and last Sunday he an i J
Miss Colson brought their brief ro
mance to the only logical conclusion
They are now at home with the bride
