Paul Bern had lived at the Algon'
quin Hotel in New York until
January /.
Hotel officials disclosed that
Bern visited her about once a
year while he was in New York
ON business trips and that twice
a month he sent checks to pay
her bills.
The woman was described as
about 80 years old, and "of the
bookish type"
Dispatches to Hollywood from
New York indicated that he4
maiden name was Dorothy Mil.
lette.
On Mysterious Trip
In January she gave up her
suite at the Algonquin and
planned to ship her trunks TO
San Francisco.
Leaving the hotel she gave no
forwarding address but declared
she planned to spend some time
with friends that I haven't seen
for years"
When Henry Bern, the late
executives brother, arrived last
night by airplane from New York,
he refused to divulge the name
of the mystery woman" he had
told Kansas City newspaper men
that his brother had supported in
a sanitarium because Of her "de-
rangement." Henry said:
~ am sick. The plane trip
from New York, coupled with
Paul's passing, is almost too
much for me.
II want to say emphaticaIly
just one thing-there were no
secrets in my brothers life.
II will discuss the entire mat
ter q little later.
Paul concealed nothing. He
lived openly"
He said he was sure his brother
had told Miss Harlow of the
WOA44u4A " W44CAAA S4C AOA4SVCO 4AAA4'

Known TO Pauls Secretary
This was at variance with a
statement by Marino Be1lo, Miss
Harlow's stepfather, who declared
that If there had been another
woman in the life Of Paul Bern,
Miss Harlow knew nothing Of It.
Miss Irene Harrison, to whom
Henry Bern last night referred
interviewers who sought to learn
details Of "the other woman, {"
declared:
"She Is alive. I will reveal
her identity and her where.
abOuts later. She has nothing

and this secret was discussed with
the brother.
At a. m. the Bello home was
darkened, and Miss Harlow was
alone with her sorrow, advised By
physicians to "try to get some
sleep"
Meanwhile Coroner Frank
Nance had advanced plans fo1
the inquest today. He sent Detec
tive Joseph Whitehead to the
Bello home to serve Miss Harlow
with a subpoena. Silently she &C
cepted the summons. Her physi
clans and attorneys said she woulo
be unable to attend.
Witnesses Called
Nance said he would not insist
upon her appearance, as 1t would
endanger her health, but the fol.
lowing were subpoenaed to ap.
pear: Henry Bern. Marino Bello:
Irving Thalberg, studio executive
called to Bern'S Benedict Canyon
home when the suicide was dis
covered; John Carmichael, the
Bern butler who found Bern shot
to death in a small dressing room
of his home; Mrs. Winifred Car
michael, cook at the Bern home:
Clifton Davis, gardener; Blanche
Williams, Miss Harlow's maid: M.
T.. Greenwood, studio executive,
and Detective Whitehead.
In his radio telephone conver.
sation from Honolulu, DR.. Jones
was declared to have given Mayer
confidential information for the
coroner's jury and to haze ex.
pressed belief that, with this in.
formation in Mayors hands, the
inquest would be a mere formal.
ity and that all doubt concerning
the motive for Bern's suicide
would be cleared UP.
Jean Seriously Sick"
DR.. Jones expressed willingness
to appear before the coroner'S
jury upon his arrival here next
week should the jury desire 1t
and adjourn the inquest today.
Bello last night said:
''Miss Harlow is still . seri-
Ously sick girl. She is just
coming out of a daze and able
to. show a little interest in
what is going on. She has
asked what is being done with
PauI'S body, and things like
that, but that Is about all. We
have tried to get her mind off
the tragedy, but she keeps 90"
ing back to it."
Lawrence Sta1lings, the play
wright, was another Of Bern'S
friends who declared that Bern
frequently had discussed suicide.
He said:
"One day i saw Paul take
o gun from his car and put 1T
i'm his coat pocket. I asked
why he carried it, and he
replied: Z often think Of sui
eide, and when the right mood
and right moment come, I
want to be all ready"
At the studio plans were made
to proceed with work on a pic
ture in which Miss Harlow has
the principal role. The company
has about 10 days work on
scenes in which the actress, does
not appear.

Outline of Eclipse
Imprinted on
Windshield

RICHMOND, Va, Sept 8.-An
accidental photograph Of the
eclipse of the sun last week was
found on the windshield of an
automobile by Knight Hill, the
driver, Of sandridges, Va,
shortly after returning to the
car after inspecting the phe-
nomenom through a smoked
lens, it has been learned here.
Hill was at a loss to explain
the picture. The suns rays
passed through the rear window
of the coupe onto the wind
shield, where the picture of the
eclipse was registered. The glass
in the rear window and wind
shield are of the Shatter-pro
variety, and it is thought pos
sible the layers Of glass diffused

Fine Example
DY inviting Presdent-elect Roosevelt to the white
X house to consider matters before the administra-
ton in its final months, President Hoover sets a
fine example to followers of all parties. In his grac
ious acceptance of the invitation the next president
shows similar high quality.
Either might easily have been embittered by the
campaign which dealt largely with the abilities of the
opponents Instead they accept the mandate of the
voters and go about the affairs of the nation in
busnesslike This glimpse of fine qualities in
the executives should stimulate cooperation in all
parts of the country and inspire confidence in
leadership.
Congress will do well to follow the example in
it's consideration of debt problems, changes in the de-
preston beating machinery, beer legislation budget
balancing and all the other things to be considered at
the short session. Like the president, many of the
congressman will retire to private life after March f.
