BRENNAN, BOSS OF DEMOCRATS IN WEST, DIES Veteran Political Leader Is Septic Poison Victim; IfTTwo Weeks. LONG POWER IN PARTY Relapse Comes Suddenly, After Patient Seems Near Recovery. By United Press CHICAGO, Aug. B.—George Brennan, veteran Democratic leader, died at 8 a. m. today in the John B. Murphy Hospital, after a gallant but losing fight against septic poisoning. The Reverend Father Scanlon went to the bedside of the veteran political leader shortly after midnight. The rite of extreme unction was admixiistered when Brennan’s condition became critical ten days ago. Brennan lapsed into unconsciousness at 7:30 last night. It was then that Dr. C. R.'G. Forrester, chief of medical counsel announced “there Is no hope.” Complicated by Diabetes Diabetes, from which Brennan had suffered for eight years, destroyed chances of recovery. A serious kidney condition further complicated matters, physicians reported. The original illness followed extraction of two abscessed teeth. Infection spread and necessitated operation July 30. From this operation, Brennan gained partially and until yesterday it was believed he was on his way back to health. The complications arose yesterday afternoon and were followed by a severe relapse. Brennan’s illness and death shocked the group of friends who long had been associated with him. His headquarters were deserted; the pinochle table, at which he spent many afternoons with friends, was vacant. Political followers had gathered in one room which was connected by phone with the hospital. Active for Smith Brennan, who had been active in the pre-convention campaign of Governor Alfred E. Smith, had been expected to lead Democratic forces in Illinois in the fall election. He has been in the thick of political battles for years. He became the successor to Roger Sullivan, political leader who died some years ago. Brennan began his political career in 1893, when he was appointed to a position in the Secretary of State’s office in Springfield. In earlier life he had ,been a coal miner in southern Illinois. While working in the mines he received ap injury to his leg which gave him almost lifelong trouble. Working and studying, he left the mines to become a school teacher, later taking the Statehouse job. Blow to Party He entered the insurance business in Chicago, where he has resided throughout much of his life. In 1924 and 1928 he was chairman of the Illinois delegation to the Democratic national convention, and was looked upon as boss of mid-Western Democrats. His death will be a blow to the Illinois campaign this fall. Democratic strategists admitted. Blow to Democrats Bn Times Special WASHINGTON, Aug. B.—Death of George E. Brennan, Democratic national committeeman from Illinois, is regarded by political leaders here as a severe blow to Governor Alfred E. Smith’s presidential campaign. Brennan, for many years regarded as the boss of Illinois democracy, has been counted upon bv the Smith forces to carry most of the burden of its middle western campaign. v Deprived of Brennaji's practical political knowledge and experience in the Middle West, it is agreed here that Smith’s chances of carrying doubtful States in the section, particularly Illinois, materially are reduced. Raskob Not Downcast By Times Special NEW YORK, Aug. B.—The death of George Brennan, Illinois political leader, will have “no adverse effect” on the presidential campaign, in the opinion of Chairman John Raskob of the Democratic national committee. “Brennan’s death is a loss,” Raskob said, “but he had his organization so perfected that his death will have no adverse effect on our campaign in Illinois.

DEATHBED WILL IS CENTER OF FIGHT IN TAYLOR LAW WAR

jgtti.. Jf : < ' v

Mrs. William S. Taylor and her son Charles, 12, who are fighting In court here to share in the estate of the late ex-Governor of Kentucky with four sons and daughters by a former marriage.

Widow Will Battle Four Daughters for Estate of Ex-Governor. A deathbed will and its revocation will enter the fight of heirs of the late W. S. Taylor, 74, former Governor of Kentucky, when they, meet in Probate Court this fall to distribute the estate, variously estimated up to $240,000. The widow, Mrs. Nora Taylor, 43, of 2143 N. Delaware St., is pitted against the four daughters by a former marriage In the fight for the estate. Both sides today agreed to the appointment as administrator of Municipal Judge Dan V. White, a close friend of Governor Taylor during his life time, and now a friend to both contending sides. Daughters Fight Case This announcement was made by attorneys for each side, William H. Faust for the children, and George A. Sheehan for the widow, who will serve as counsel for the administrator. The daughters, who Tuesday filed objections to the appointment of Mrs. Taylor as administrator, are Mrs. E. Leo Davidson, 1006 W. Thir-ty-Fourth St.; Mrs. Merrill Wilson, 1733 N. Meridian St.; Mrs. Irvin Miller, 1309 W. Thirty-Second St., and Mrs. Linton Bailey, Columbus, Ohio. After the daughters filed the objections, Mrs. Taylor applied for her administratrix papers and was refused by Probate Court clerks, due to the objections on file. She offered an SBO,OOO bond as administratrix. Mrs. Taylor said that the antenuptial agreement, under which neither Governor Taylor nor she was to share in the other’s property, was to be binding only during their lives. She had a great deal of property at the time of their marriage in 1912, she said. Widow to Keep Up Battle The agreement of today does not mean that the widow has given up the fight for the one-thiyi of the estate, provided for by law when there is no will. Attorney Sheehan said. Other than the home at 2143 N. Delaware and some bonds for their son Charles, 12, the widow and her son are not included in the daughters’ plan for distribution, Mrs. Taylor said. Under the provisions of the will, destroyed only a day before the death of Taylor, the widow was to receive $5,000 in Government bonds, the son $4,000, and at least a share of the $54,000 in stock in the Empire Life and Accident Insurance Company, of which ex-Governor Taylor was vice president and general counsel, Mrs. Taylor said. "He called me to his bedside,” she said, “and held my hand and told me: ’Mother, I want to make provision for you and Charles.’ ” At this time, Mrs. Taylor said, she did not know the will had been destroyed.

SLAY WOMAN EDUCATOR IN BRUTALCRIME Body of Illinois Teacher Found Lying in Pool of Flood. * HEAVY PIPE IS WEAPON Instructor, Taking Work at Northwestern, Believed Lured to Death. / By United Press EVANSTON, 111., Aug. B.—The body of Miss Jennie Constance, 42, head of the English department at Bradley Polytechnical Institute, Peoria, 111., was found at dawn today, behind a hedge near the residence of George H. Peaks, wealthy Evanstonian. Miss Constance had been beaten to death. A length of heavy iron pipe was found lying in a pool of blood on the sidewalk. A milkman, delivering milk to the Peaks residence, discovered the body. Examination of the woman’s body revealed, police said, that she had been attacked. Her clothes were tom from her body and identification was accomplished only after checking with reports of her disappearance from her rooming house near by. Robbery Not Motive , The instructor was identified mainly by a peach colored dress which she wore and by library books which were found near her body. A necklace was found near the body and two valuable rings remained untouched, leading police to disregard the theory of robbery. Miss Constance, a post graduate student at Northwestern University here, boarded at the home of Mrs. A. B. Anderson, several blocks from the Peaks home. Mrs. Anderson, alarmed by the failure of the teacher to return from the library at midnight, notified police. Members of the Peaks family were unable to aid police, reporting that they had retired early and had heard no screams or disturbance near their home. Miss Constance's glasses, her coat and some of her papers were found on a. table in the university library. Police believe she either was lured from the library or was attacked as she was out for a short walk. Sought Doctor’s Degree Miss Constance had entered Northwestern post graduate class July 1, prepartory to securing a doctor’s degree. She had been associated with the Bradley English department since 1919 and been head of the department for several years. She was prominent in Peoria women’s club circles and had lectured frequently on English literature. She had written several articles for educational magazines on Shakespearean subjects. Miss Constance was born in Cumberland, Wis., and attended Wisconsin schools. She received a bachelor of philosophy degree from Hamline University in 1908 and a master of arts degree from Columbia University in 1917. She had studied in Europe in 1923, 1926 and 1927. Her mother, Mrs. Mattie Constance, 80, lives in Peoria.

By United Pn ss JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Aug. 8.~ Full fury of a hurricane centered on a score of Florida east coast towns today, isolating them from the outside world as its vicious winds swept inland. Damage to property was unknown. Possible toll of life can not be learned until the tropical disturbance has moved on. Ft. Pierce and the fifty-mile area north and west were believed feeling the full blow of the hurricane. All communication lines in the area are down. The last word from Ft. Pierce came at 2:30 a. m. today when a seventy-five-mile wind was reported there. Residents were barricading themselves in their houses.
