WIFE LEAPS TO SUICIDE AFTER HUSBAND DIES

Chicago’s Dean of Butlers Passes; Woman Makes Good Promise. B a Tinted Press CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—Friends sent a radiogram today to Mrs' Bertha Bauer aboard the steamship Bremen on the Atlantic, notifying her of the death of her model butler and the butler's wife. George Brown, the 80-year-old butler, died a natural death and his wife. Martha, committed suieide by leaping off the fire escape outside her husband’s death chamber. “I'll never be able to live if George is taken first,” Mrs. Brown frequently \said in recent years. Sunday she leaped to her death within two hours after her aged husband had expired. Known as Model George Brown was known as the model butler of Chicago’s Gold Coast when Rosemary Bauer, now one of the country’s richest girls, was in swaddling clothes. He had the dignity of the old school and the suavity of long experience. Several years ago he was retired on pension, but came back to the Bauer home periodically for special social events. Last year he served as grand vizier at the debut reception for Rosemary. Died Diming Night Upon awakening Sunday morning Martha Brown discovered that George had died during the night. After calling neighbors and a physician Martha left the room. A short time later her body was found on the pavement, three stories below’. She had climbed over the railing of the fire escape and leaped off. Mrs. Bauer and her daughter Rosemary are en route home from 'jEurop- on the Bremen.

FLAYS CIVIL UNION Labor Defense Chief Backs Gastonia Bail Jumpers. Bv United Prefix NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—The International Labor Defense, which defended the seven men convicted on a charge of killing Police Chief O. F. Aderholt of Gastonia, N. C., would "shed no tears” if the defendants jumped bail completely, according to a statement by J. Louis Engdahl, secretary. Engdahl assailed Rodger Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union, for announcing that four of the men, including Fred Erwin Beal of Lawrence, Mass., organizer in the Gastonia strike, would surrender and, start serving lengthy sentences. He accused Baldwin of being more interested in the bail forfeiture than in the interests of the workers. “The International Labor Defense has no reliance .n the ‘fairness’ of capitalist court., ’ Engdahl said.

Miracles Are Rivaled by Aimee McPherson Feats

(Continued from Page 1) hitherto long and flowing. The charge resulted in the ousting of Ma as a temple power. Here is how it was done: When Aimee McPherson and Mrs. Kennedy arrived in Los Angeles six years ago they were without worldly goods, unless you except the undoubted ability of Sister to sway audiences, which is, after all, quite an attribute. She got her start in girlhood as an actress in amateur theatricals in her home town in Canada. BBS THEY hired a circus tent and held meetings in the old-time revival fashion. So the start of the present layout began. Presently the contrite and humble who shunned the worldliness of this city contributed financially. The Echo Park Evangelistic Association was fowned as owner of a valuable plot of ground. Sister Aimee and Mother Kennedy, counsellors of an ever-in-creasing flock, were sole trustees of the association, organized as nonprofit sharing. Then began a crusade to build Angelus Temple. Aimee’s force, her personality and her reckless energy, with thl soothing maternal attitude of the benign Mrs. Kennedy, accomplished this. On the land rose a vast auditorium, seating 5,300 persons. Another admirer contributed the radio broadcasting station. A beautiful organ was installed. Money poured in. B B B HERETOFORE the advertising of Sister McPhersson was a move or less person-to-person proposition. Word was circulated among the church-going people that here, at last, was a real old-fashioned preacher who stuck to fundamentals and worked miracles through the faith she inspired. The miracles were what stirred up comment. Base souls sometimes slyly wink when Sister’s healings are mentioned. Be that as it may, marveling congregations saw cripples discard crutches at the prayers of Mrs. McPherson; saw and heard men and women proclaim that disease and pain had left them. Los Angeles began to get interested. Radio KFSK helped, of course.

It was a powerful station and four years ago all sets would not "cut out” the sermons. BBS SUCH great crowds swarmed the temple that loud speakers were installed outside. Seats were at a premium and collections waxed fat. The temple grew to a vast, highly organized institution, with numerous employes in its many departments and 12,000 members on its rolls, to a point where today it has cash and property assets valued at nearly $2,000,000. All this is preliminary, but it gives the key to the present disruption. It was Aimee, not Ma, the co-worker, who was becoming famous. And Aimee gloried in the limelight. Ma’s work was in the Sunday school, the Bible classes. She was directing—but the actor seems to always grab the acclaim. And Aimee, in her flowing white robes in the pulpit where she preached with a zeal that knew no bounds, was the actor in this case. NEXT: Aimee’s kidnaping . . , and how the firing of a favorite temple bandmaster caused the first big row between Sister and Ma. Man. 90, Takes Bride Bit Unit at Press BLUFFTON. Ind., Sept. 22.
