Mrs. Catherine Aimar Shoots
Self After Quarrel With
Husband

Mrs. Catherine Aimar, twenty
four-year-oId mother, of 303 Mas
sachusetts avenue northeast, died
in Casualty Hospital early today,
the victim of a poisoned bullet.
Yesterday Mrs. Aimar quarreled
with her husband, Bertrand Aimar.
In a rage she ran to her room,
seized an automatic pistol loaded
with poisoned bullets, which had
been given her several months
ago by q marine officer, and fired
the shot which resulted IN her
tagonizing death today.
Had 's13'' HoOdOO.
The figure 10" followed Mrs.
Aimar through her comparatively
short life. In her room, strewed
about the floor, were the butts Of
thirteen cigarettes, smoked with
nervous intensity by the woman
before she summoned up sufficient
courage to fire the fatal shot.
Friends of Mrs. Aimar said to-
day that she was continually
afraid of the malevolent influence
Of "13" on her life. The thirteen
cigarettes were a queer Quirk Of
fate.
Early yesterday morning, Mrs.
Aimar staggered into the room Of
Mrs. lola Thomas, q roomer at 500
Massachusetts, avenue.
Fell in Commissions.
"I'm-shot!' the woman gasped
to the surprised Mrs. Thomas.
Then she fell across the bed in
commissions.
"I didn't know what to do, 1t all
came so quickly said Mrs.
Thomas today.
II ran out of the house and
tried to find a telephone" Mrs.
Thomas continued. "At that hour
Of, the morning, to find one was
practically an impossibility. =.
"By good fortune a cruising taxi
cab came along and I hailed 1t.
The driver sped with Mrs. Aimar
to Casualty Hospital"
Wanted to Die.
Mrs. Thomas said the woman
kept crying:
lola, please don't call anyone. I
want to die"
At the hospital the bullet was
extracted from the woman's abdo-
men, but the poison from the
bullet had gotten in its deadly work.

Meeting Will Consider Plans
to Combat Painters Wage
Demand

Simultaneous with the strike to-
day Of several hundred union
painters, decorators, and paper
hangers, leading builders and con-
tractors laid plans for a confer
ence at the City Club, when the
latest developments in the build
ing trade labor situation will be
threshed out.
The meeting is to be opened
late today by William T.. GalIiher,
who presided over the recent
building conferences at the City
Club.
Other Unions 4 actAr.
OF prime Importance to the gath
ering is the attitude of the union
plumbers and steamfitters. who
have constituted an enigma since
the question of paying the demand
ed increases OF the unions first was
preached.
The attitude Of the sub-contract-
ors who employ plumbers and
steamfitters for local building jobs
has not been defined clearly yet,
but it is expected that Lodays
meeting will clear up any doubts
as to the feelings Of the employers
associations.
The gathering promises to be the
largest and the most important OF
the series in as much as it comes at
q time when builders are asking
each other for the 'low-down" on
the labor supply.
Edward j. Linskey, president OF
the Master Painters Association,
probably will inform the meeting as
to the exact number of available
nonunion painters in the city and
nearby.
Certain Increases Granted.
Certain independent builders, 1t
was learned, granted the increases
of the union painters, and their
forces We're at work today. The
great majority, however, continued
their work through yesterday, and
completed the current jobs, having
refused to raise the painters
wages.
Rufus S. Lusk, secretary OF the
Operative Builders Association,
completed arrangements for the
meeting today, after comforting
with Mr.. Galliher, Arthur L. Smith
and other leaders in the campaign
against higher wages.
