From Poison She Took, Says “I've Been a Fool.” By the Associnted Pre CHICAGO, July 26.—Joyce Hawley, who came into public notice as “the bathtub girl” at Earl Carroll's party in New York, was in the Psychopathic Hospital today for observation, follow- ing her treatment for illness from sleeping tablets she had swallowed in her room at a loop hotel Dr. Carl A. Meyer, staff physician, asserted after a preliminary examina- tion of the girl's mentai processes that a thorough test was advisable. Miss Hawley, who was discharged & week ago as a cabaret entertainer in Morton Grove, a suburb, said she took the tablets as a sedative Satur- day, after finding herself unable to sleep and feeling despondent over remarks she said had been made to her on the streets since the bathtub incident. Her father, Anthony Dau- melas, a butcher, calls it anohter pub- Meity stunt. Dr. Meyer asked the girl questions to determine her gen- eral knowledge. Joyce said she did not know who was Governor of Illinois or mayor of Chicago, and that ‘she didn’t care. “How should I know who the mayor of Chicago is? she asked the physiclan. “I'm . a New Yorker. Jimmy Walker is mayor there, and New York is the only town I care about.” From her cot in the County Hos- pital, where she was at first taken, the girl explained that she wanted| “rest and quiet.” s “T've been a fool,” she continued in reviewing the wine bath party and its eftermath. “If I'd only known it, I was happy. There was 2 man I knew. 1 loved him and he wanted me to study. I was tutoring to get ahead vin the show business. He sailed for Rome a week after the wine bath jury made me testify.” ‘Then followed a broken contract in New York, refusal from other citles to book her act, and finally an effort to find work in her home town—Chi- cago.' Her engagement at the Morton Grove roadhouse, terminated by re- quest of the village authorities, had left her jobless and penniless, but un- discouraged, she declared. “It's all “for advertising,” com- nted her father when he was in- formed of her plight. “She’'d do any- thing for publicity; she had a couple of automobile accidents to get her: self in the papers.” The girl recently was arrested here for disregarding traffic signals and be- ' rating a policeman.
