LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16.-Dr. r. w.
Waters, implicated by the confession
of Mrs. Lorraine Wiseman in her i'm
personation Of Aimee Semple McPher-
son to furnish an alibi against the
charge that the evangelist had spent
ten days in a love spree. at beach
cottage at Carmel insteads of being
kidnapped" as she had claimed after
her disappearance, has committed
suicide.
DR.. Waters took poison. following
the revelation made by Mrs. Wiseman
that he had aided in producing an
alibi for Aimee MCPHERSON.
Faithful Stage a Riot.
Meanwhile the $4,000 followers Of
the female evangelist were stirred up
to the point of rioting by her dramatic
pulpiteering at the Angelus temple.
"They are bounding me to my
grave" she declared as she entered
the pulpit. This and similar emotional
appeals so reused her fanatic follow
ers that the milling thousands which
filled the church to overlooking and
pressed around the building seemed on
point Of riot thru religious hysteria.
Christians sshoteuns.
The police were called out to guard
against riot, squads of detectives and
deputy sheriffs armed with shotguns
having trouble to reach the temple
around which for blocks the streets
were packed with excited people. The
police did not arrest Aimee, tho she
stirred up the congregation with the
sentimental appeal that she expected
to be arrested at any moment" The
crowd finally dispersed when it saw
that nobody was going to arrest the
woman.
Another development Of the day
was the deposition of a Miss Morris,
private secretary of the late R. A.
Mckinley, a lawyer connected with
Mrs. Mcpherson. Miss Morris tells of
sought to have been
made to produce men who could be
claimed to be the "kidnappers," who
would be immune from prosecution
because Aimee would not prosecute
them. Aimee also wanted a shack pro-
duced to serve as the place where
she was supposed to have been held
by the "kidnappers."
Mysterious Shack Sought.
Mrs. Mcpherson said l must be
sure that it had not been occupied
for a long time. She said she would
hate for them to produce shack and
find out afterwards thata family with
ten kids had lived in it during the
time she was supposed to be captive
there"
Complaints against FIVE persons in
the case, including Kenneth c. Ormis-
ton, the alleged lover of Aimee in her
escapade, are being drawn up by the
district attorney.
ormiston Seeks Immunity.
At the same time the attorney for
Mrs. Wiseman says he has been ap-
preached by mystery man" who Of

hours if Ormiston is given the privi-
lege of immunity. Ormiston may be
liable on a charge Of perjury for max
ing an affldavit saying Mrs. Mcpherson
was not the woman who shared his
embraces at the cottage by the sea.

went to Ohio and the dove Of peace
settled over the great lakes.
Toledo is named after the famous
Castillian capitol of the same name
on the other side of the Atlantic.
But it bears no resemblance to
Toledo, Spain. BY 1916 its popula-
ton had grown to only 1000, altho
this was an advance over the fewer
than 100 that it had ten years be-
fore in 1886. It does not boast of
any role that 1t played in the civil
war, just as the war in 1912, be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain, that witnessed some import
ant battles on Lake Erie, passed it
by.
A brick plant was one of its first
boasts. Then came a saw mill, later
foundry, in 1889 a grist mill, and
in 1853, the first car works. When
the bicycle was in favor, however,
Toledo began getting on the inter-
national map, claiming to have sent
this product OF its shops lover the
seven SEAS" The bicycle business
later grew into the manufacture of
the Pope-Toledo automobile that
held the stage for time. When the
Pope-Toledo corporation failed it
was taken over by John N. WHY'S,
called zone of the geniuses of the
automobile world" WHY'S is now
trying to keep Toledo on the map
as the home of his Overland and
Willys-Knight.
The glare of publicity was turned
on Toledo for time when it came
under the rule Of Golden Rule
Samuel M. Jones as mayor. Golden
Rule" Jones failed to be elected as
governor of Ohio and then he died
in his fourth term, in 1904, and now
he is forgotten.
During the war, after he had been
ousted from the University of Penn
sylvania for writing Anthracite"
an attack on the hard coal industry,
Scott Nearing came this way to
teach at the allegedly liberal Uni
versity of Toledo. But he was no
more fortunate here. He was soon
ousted from this university also be-
cause of his unorthodox views.
But the spirit of unrest flames
anew. This fall the Workers (Com-
munist) Party has congressional
candidate in the field. Bruce T.
Smith, railroad worker, is the
Communist standard bearer The
local election commissioners are
trying to find some excuse for ruling
him off the ballot. So far they have
not succeeded. The workers, accord
ing to present indications, will have
an opportunity to vote for him.
This is the ninth (Ohio) congress
sional district that kept Issac r.
Sherwood, the civil war veteran who
opposed participation by this nation
in the world war, in congress for a
number of years. The present con-
gresham is w. w. Chalmers, re-
publican, unheard of, and therefore
the best tool Of the predatory in
terests.
The labor unions in Toledo are not
active. Union meetings are featured
by small attendances. All semblance
Of any socialist party organization
has disappeared.
It is in this environment that the
Workers (Communist) Party calls
to the workers to make new and
greater efforts. Several mass meet
ings with representative party
speakers will be held in the weeks
ahead. There will be an increased
distribution Of literature. New men,
bers will be brought into the party
and present passive members stirred
to action. The Workers (Commun-
ist) Party will put Toledo, Ohio, on
the map again.

1t was the first opportunity the

The appeal was made in behalf Of
Harry Palmer Of Terre Haute, con-
victed of receiving stolen automo-

plea was filed by defense attorneys
challenging validity of the indict-
ment on the ground that a woman
not only was q member of the grand
jury, but served as foreman.
The State countered with a de-
murrer, sustained by the court. The
defendant did not ask for a jury
trial. His appeal was from the
lower courts decision sustaining the
States demurrer. Supreme Court
affirmed the conviction.
