MORROW'S END MOURNED BY WHOLE WORLD Lindberghs’ Plans, Aboard Ship in China, Are Unknown. (Continued From Page 1) flown to Japan, and which the flying colonel had useed to carry ipedicine into Chinese flood areas, crashed recently. i.auds Brilliant Career The Morrow home here, situated on a tree-dotted hillside, was visited by many friends and neighbors. Among the first arrivals were Thomas W Lamont, partner of J. P. Morgan, in which firm Morrow also was a partner from 1914 to 1927, when he relinquished a brilliant career in finance to become ambassador to Mexico by the appointment of hid school mate, Calvin Coolidge. Literally thousands of messages of condolence and tribute were received from all parts of the world, Including notes from President Pascual Ortiz Rubio of Mexico, and other high officials of foreign countries who had been won to Morrow by his quiet, unassuming manner. Mrs. Morrow Is Brave Friends said Mrs. Morrow took the shock of her husband’s death bravely. The senator seemed in good health when he retired Sunday night after a ratlio speech for Jewish philanthropy. The first indication of Morrow’s Illness occurred about a month ago when he sustained a partial paralysis of the right side, while on the yacht of a friend off North Haven Me. The shock was temporary, and Morrow appeared, within a short time, to have recovered. During the time that he was suffering the effect of the attack he was unable to walk, or to use his right arm and leg. Pefore he left the yacht, all ill effects had disappeared.

Typical American Career. Dwight Whitney Morrow was born Jan. 11, 1873, at Huntington, W. Va., the fourth of eight children of James Elmore Morrow, at that time president of Marshall college. His career is another typically American success story, although he actually never knew poverty. The income of his father never exceeded $2,400. When he was 14, young Morrow was graduated from high school with honors and then went to work for four years as an errand boy and clerk in the county treasurer’s office at Pittsburgh. He wanted an education, bu* money was scarce so he took the examination for West Point, passed, but was not appointed because his elder brother already had gone there and the local congressman did not want to appoint two boys from the same family. Worked Way Through Amherst In 1891, he entered Amherst college, working his way through as a tutor. His classmates voted mm the member of the class ‘’most likely to succeed” when he was graduated in 1895. Morrow, himself, voted for a slender, quiet <hap named Calvin Coolidge, who was his classmate. After graduation, Morrow earned enough money at odd jobs in Pittsburgh and put himself through the Columbia Law School and then he joined a New York law firm as a clerk. Seven years later he had advanced himself to a partnership in the firm. Morrow preferred work as a negotiator. an arranger, and an expert adviser. He gained wide business experience and in 1914 his neighbors at Englewood, N. J., Henry Post Davison and Thomas W. Lamont, invited him to become a partner in the world-famous house of Morgan. Morrow demonstrated his ability in the vast deals made by the Morgan firm during the World war when that business organization became money lender to the world. Great Service in Mexico When the United States entered the World war, Morrow was appointed to the allied boards of transport and supply and served as a civilian adviser at the A. E. F. headquarters in France. He was credited with playing a large part in keeping the great streams of' men and materials flowing steadily to Europe. He dropped out of public life a few years after the war. In 1925, President Coolidge. who had lived up to Morrow’s vote as the classmate “most likely to succeed,” appointed him chairman of the board which investigated military aviation after General William Mitchell's fiery charges. Morrow’s greatest public service came with his apopintment as ambassador to Mexico when he found relations strained almost to the breaking point and left them better than they had ever been before. President Rubio said: “I consider Ambassador Morrow one of the greatest diplomats in the world.” After his return from Mexico, he entered the United States senate. His last big public task was to attend the naval conference in London as one of the American delegates. Lindberghs Undecided SHANGHAI, Oct. 6.—ln a torrential rainstorm, Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh arrived here today, obviously much moved by the death of Senator Dwight W. Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh’s father. They were taken by speedboat from the British airplane carrier Hermes, which took them aboard when their plane overturned on the Yangtze last week, to the customs jetty, and then went by motor car to the Cathay hotel. Mrs. Lindbergh showed plainly the severe strain which news of her father's sudden death had brought. Lindbergh was very grave. “Gentlemen, under the circumstances we are unable to make a decision on our future plans,” he told newspaper men. There were no Chinese officials present when the Lindberghs arrived, and only members of the American official colony received them and escorted them to the

Then he passed me the olives, but I couldn't see anything to them for a man when he was hungry. “Then Jackson and me were talknig about cutworms and the corn borer when he passed the sandwiches. I didn’t notice anything unusual and got me a sandwich I was hunting, and the home proved to come from my house.” Capsule Is Found It was then, with a wave of his han das though to command attention, that Pollard testified to the death-like silence that closed in on the picnic tables. "Then, a minute later, I saw that capsule in my mother’s sandwich, and I got up,” he continued. “I asked, ’Whose sandwiches are ' these?’ “Nobody answered and I yelled ; again, ‘Whose sandwiches are 1 these?’ “Still nobody answered and. j finally, my sister, Isa, said she thought they were the Simmons.’ “There didn’t anybody else reply, and I yelled loud. I yelled so loud you could’ve heard me at the back end of the house (court room) and I was sure none of them were ours.” Pounds on Chair At times during the telling of his demands to learn the makers of the sandwiches, Pollard pounded on the arm of the witness chair. He turned now and then to look at the jury, but generally kept his eyes on the defense and state’s tables. Now and then he looked at the reporters and the court room clock. “When nobody answered,’’ he resumed, "I told ’em I was going to see if this was a joke. I saw Jackson getting sick. He was right there beside me. “I went with Dale Simmons (son of the murder suspect) to Dr. O. C. Higgins and Dale asked him what was in the capsule ive had. “The doctor said it was either quinine or strychnine, and when Dale asked him what would happen if it was strychnine, the doctor told us everybody would be dead in a short time. Father Doesn’t Reply “We went right back. Jackson was having convulsions and John Simmons was sitting’' under a tree. “Dale went up to his father and asked, “Are you goin’ to sit there and let all these people die?’ His father didn’t answer him.” Pollard said he returned to the tables and, touching a finger to the contents of one of the capsules, tasted it and found it bitter. “Then we took Alice Jean and Virginia to the hospital,” he said. “Mrs. Simmons wasn't doing anything. "Dr. Rainey was working on Jackson under the tree. We went back to the hospital and found out that Jean was dead. Legs Got Wobbly “Dr. Rainey was still working on Jackson when I went back and I told hi mto forget that idea about the quinine, because little Jean was dead. “I says to him he might as well let Jackson die on the road to the hospital as under that tree.” Pollard said then his legs “got wobbly” and antidotes failed to relieve his condition. He said he, however. again went to the hospital, as other members of the picnic party were being rushed there. “When I got there, Mrs. Simmons wkas sittin’ out in the car with her sons. Jean was dead. Mrs. Simmons was calm.” At this point Mrs. Simmons and her husband broke into tears and cried on the defense table. Pollard will be questioned by the defense this afternoon and followed on the stand by his wife. PollaAi, followed Dr. E. A. Rainey aad Jot® a. SQQfts tester Cm,

dio entertainer, is the latest event in the amazing careeer of the woman evangelist. The couple were married in an airplane. They told the world of )their union in a “bedroom broadcast” in which they kissed before the microphone. They postponed their wedding trip for an eight-day session of revival meetings in Portland, Ore., and immediately three other claimants for “Iron Man” Hutton’s affections appeared to challenge Aimee's right to her bridegroom.

Carr, with callow phrases, tried to make jury, lawyers and courtroom see Mrs, Simmons as he saw her that day at the picnic. “She was rather nervous . . . she was fanning herself . . . she showed great interest. No she didn’t do anything ... but ... but .. . well, I could tell by her actions . . . her actions showed . . . showed her interest.” Carr tried to explain. Carr today was permitted to go on with his story of the poison picnic, but limited his description of Mrs. Simmons’ reaction to the illness of her daughters to: “There was distress on her face.” His testimony brought snickers from the crowd when he told there were two toothpicks in his sandwich. “I put ons of them in my pocket for future use,” Carr told the jury. RAIN DUEJFOR CITY Temperatures to Drop With Unsettled Conditions. Showers and thunderstorms were billed on Indiana’s weather menu today. Centered in an area of unsettled weather, rain will strike in various sections of the state tonight and Wednesday, according to the bureau. Indianapolis is in the threatened area. Change in conditions is expected to result in slightly lower temperatures than have prevailed in the last week. horse" Bios TOO -0W Safety Board Refuses to Part With City’s 10 Steeds. The city’s ten police horses, which have been ordered sold by the safety board to reduce expenses, today, won a temporary respite from return to civilian life when the board failed to receive satisfactory bids for their sale. Two proposals had been received by noon today, deadline for submitting bids, but neither bid was as high as the police mounts were appraised and, consequently, could not be accepted, it was announced. Board members were undecided as to future action in regard to sale of the horses. Suffers Stroke; Falls, Hurts Head Suffering a mild heart attack in his store at 355 Indiana avenue today, Clyde Youse, 35, fell backward and struck his head on a safe. The head wound was treated at city hospital.

REFINANCE PLAN IS DRAWN FOR COUNTY

Council to Get Proposal Paving Way for Tax Reduction. Marion county’s 1932 tax rate may be lowered 8 cents by a plan for refinancing county bonds, due next year, details of which were announced today by County Auditor Harry Dunn. The plan which germinated at a hearing before the state tax board was to be handed county councilmen at once for their consideration. Instead of retiring $737,250 worth of bonds falling due in 1932, Dunn proposes to provide for redemption over a period of twenty years. This would distribute the burden of retirement over the period of years and give relief to taxpayers next year, it was said. Ultimately, however, the refinancing plan would cost more than immediate retirement of the bonds. Dunn's plan provides for holding* over $113,000 of the bends, because of low interest rate, and for re-

at last Aimee and David are to discard—temporarily—the sawdust trail for the honeymoon express.

GIRL IS FREED IN AUTO DEATH Grand *4ury Votes Release of Miss Grace Perdue. Criminal Judge Frank P. Baker today released Miss Grace Perdue, 16, of 1008 East St. Clair street, from manslaughter charges, filed when she was arrested several weeks ago as the driver of one of two cars which raced down North Liberty street, killing 5-year-old Ella Johnson at play. The grand jury recommended that Miss Perdue be released. She confessed participating in a race with James Lynn, 17, who was driving a truck. Lynn’s car, according to testimony, crashed with Miss Perdue’s car and hit the Johnson girl who was playing on the sidewalk in front of her home, 503 North Liberty street. Lynn was charged with involuntary manslaughter. Miss Perdue, a former Technical high school student, told Judge Baker today that she now “has stopped driving and has disposed of the car belonging to her family.” POPP IS NAMED CITY 1 COMBUSTION ENGINEER North Side Man Gets Post After Competitive Exam. After a competitive examination for the post, George Popp, 36, of 2955 North New Jersey street, was named city combustion engineer to succeed Fred Barton, resigned, the safety board said today. Popp, who was favored for the position by the Indianapolis Smoke Abatement League, will take office Nov. 11. The salary is $3,000 annually. The board today suspended William Clinger, fireman with truck company 18, for conduct unbecoming an officer, and accepted the resignation of Lieutenant George Niehaus from the fire prevention department. Niehaus will retire on pension after thirty-five years’ service. SNOWDEN TO BE PEER British Chancellor of Exchequer Decides to Accept Honor. By United Press LONDON/ Oct. 6.—Philip Snowden, chancellor of the exchequer, has decided to accept a peerage, the Central News agency said today. Snowden, financial genius of the Labor party, recently announced his retirement from politics after the present emergency is settled. It was expected he would be rewarded for his years of service by being sent to the house of lords.

financing the remaining $624,000 for ! a twenty-year period. Interest for the period is esti- ; mated at 4 per cent and would total approximately $383,000. “The refunding scheme, as suggested by the tax board, merely is for the purpose of giving immediate relief to taxpayers, already overburdened,” Dunn stated. Legal obstacles may block the proposal. Opinions from Harvey Grabill, county attorney, and the state attorney-general’s office are being sought in the matter. There is a question whether the county council can rescind its former action, fixing the sinking fund levy at 13*4 cents and pass another ordinance fixing it at 5*4 cents for 1932. Dunn said his plan provided the bonds would start falling due nine years from the date of their execution. The county council fixed the tax i rate of the county at 34 cents. In case the refunding plan is adopted, the rate for next year might be slashed to 25 or 26 cents by the board.

manufacturer, and Mary Jean O’Kane, Pasadena beauty. The blond evangelist—a redhead until recently—said the other day; “I’ve been so lonely—but I’m never going to be lonely any more.”Four marriages of members of Aimee’s family have taken place since last March. First her daughter, pretty Roberta, 20, and William Brady Smythe, young ship’s purser, were married March 4. Then on June 28 Mrs. Minnie (Ma) Kennedy (Aimee’s mother) and Guy Edward (What-a-Man) Hudson took marital vows which subsequently were dissolved, then renewed. Aimee’s son, Rolph, 18, married Lorna Dee Smith, Angelus temple graduate, at an elaborate temple wedding July 21. tt u AIMEE, whose sky wedding with Hutton makes the family nuptials “four-squared,” said: “In the past few months before their marriages when Roberta and her man of Rolf and his sweetheart would come in talking excitedly about the moon it made me unutterably sad. “I would go out of doors after toy day’s in the temple was finished and look at the moon. Then I realized how lonely I was. “And w'hen someone would say ‘Good night, Sister’ it would only make it worse. There was no one near to say ‘Good night’ with something more than just a friendly interest. Some of you know what that means. To those who do not, may the Lord spare you such sorrow. “But lonesomeness is gone and I’m singing that song, ‘lt’s All Different Now.’ Love came on silver wings one day and I don’t think I’ll ever complain about anything any more.” Said Bridegroom Hutton, “I am the happiest man in the world.” tt u NOT so happy, however, was the six-foot singer when he heard accusations from three claimants for his affections that Hutton had | told each she was the inspiration of his ballad, “My Faith in You,” published and copyrighted 1931 by Gene Johnston Music Publishers. Aimee said the song was written to her. Here are the words: “Ever since the world begran love has ruled supreme. EVer thls dr s?heme nd Dlan ,oUows in Faith true" 0 * be eaua,ed in * ,ove that’s That is why, sweetheart, I say to you: „ „ CHORUS Deeper than the deepest ocean. Richer than the rainbow's hue. T r *|® r than a babe’s devotion. That s my faith in you. Sweeter than the sweetest flower, ... a . rer th an its fragrance too. Words cannot describe the power Os my faith in you. Bright as the stars may shine above. White as the moon may glare. T ey re not as nure as half my love. They’re only fair. They don’t compare. Like, a song that never dies. dear. Haunting memories anew. Just as matchless as your eyes, dear. That’s my faith in you.” This is the ballad, sung in melodic, stirring baritone, which won Aimee Kennedy Semple McPherson Hutton’s fluttering heart. The woman evangelist gave her age as 38 on the marriage license application, but is elsewhere recorded as being 41. She has played every role known ito womanhood. Aimee has been wife, mother, widow, divorcee—and | is now a bride. tt St tt SHE was cast in the siren’s pai t when Mrs. Kenneth Ormiston threatened to name her as corespondent in a divorce action, but Mrs. Ormiston later changed her mind. In the sensational McPherson trial of 1926, when the evangelist formally was charged with “criminal conspiracy to commit subornation of perjury,” there were attempts to prove that Aimee had spent a week with Ormison in a bungalow at Carmel-by-the-Sea. These charges were dropped. The story of Aimee McPherson’s career is a stranger mixture of conflicting elements than any fiction writer has ever penned. At 17, an immature country girl in a small Canadian village, Aimee Kennedy met Robert Semple, goodlooking young itinerant preacher. She attended services he conducted. She fell in love. Thus began the exciting drama of love, adventure, and coflict, of which the last act is Aimee’s third honeymoon. Next: At 17, a Canadian farm girl, Aimee wins a popularity contest and finds romance for the first time. TOMATO GROWERS BUSY Work 24 Hours a Day to Beat Frost in Knox County.

GAS PROPOSALS WILL BE GIVEN MAYOJTSGROUP Three Firms to Submit Plan for Supplying Utility District. Formal proposals for sale of na- ! tural gas to the city utility district and the Citizens Gas Company, will be received at 2 next Monday by Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan's gas subcommittee, it w’as announced today by City Attorney James E. Deery. Notices of the city’s desire for posals have been sent to the KenI tucky Natural Gas Company, Columbia Gas and Electric Company and the Universal Gas Company, all of which indicated a desire to submit proposals several months ago, Deery said. Sealed proposals actually were submitted to the gas committee last summer by two companies, but were returned unopened in order to give a third cohvpany time to submit a proposal. Industries Seek Service Negotiations for purchase of natural gas were started in preparation for acquisition by the city utility district of the Citizens Gas Company, under provisions of its charter, and also in response to demand of a number of local industries who desire natural gas service in order to reduce operating costs of their plants. These industries, banded together as the Manufacturers’ Natural Gas ; Association, recently were denied the right to lay independent natural gas mains to their plants by the public service commission. City’s Right Is Upheld Henry L. Dithmer is chairman of j the city’s investigating subcommit- j tee, which will report information it i receives to the parent committee, composed of city officials, representatives of the Citizens Gas Company and the city utility district. The committee was appointed following decision of the United States supreme court upholding the city’s right to acquire the Citizens company under the gas company’s charter provisions.
