EX-SENATOR'S AIDE ENDS LIFE BY GAS Body of Woman, Despondent Over Financial Difficulties, . Found in Apartment. Persistent traces of illuminating gas led investigators last night to the body ©f Miss Mabel Walker, 35, once -secre- | tary to former Senator Edwards of New | Jersey, who had died perhaps 15 hours previously behind the double-barred doors of her apartment, on the seventh floor at 1301 Massachusetts avenue. * @ There was evidence that Miss Walker had made elaborate preparations for her death. Her body, clad in red silk jamas beneath & nese coclie y ay face down across the kitchen doof siil, a few feet from five open jets m the range. By her side was =-towel! permeated with chloroform from a half~ oall filled bottle near her finger tips. ‘Was Financially Embarrassed. Police learned that Miss Walker wis financially em! . - Letters froi her mother indicating this were foun in the dead woman's effects and friends said she had experienced some difficulty in earning a livelihood since the retires ment from office last March of Senator LY “Miss Walker had been ref d p; companies to ne- :6’“ Department for passports ‘for - ign motion picture artists going to Hollywood. She also thad served as a contact between indi-. viduals and prospective ‘employers in Government departments. | Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt, after an | investigation, said a certificate of sui- cide would be issued today when some technicalities could be cleared up. He declared np inquest will be necessary. On the day before her death Miss ‘Walker had attended the races at Pim- lico and planned to return yesterday morning with a group of friends. The friends said they knocked at her door ‘without response shortly before noon. Tenants. Notice Gas. ‘The body was discovered about 10 o'clock after several tenants had noticed ftraces of gas. Ugo Carusi, secretary to Attorney General William D. Mitchell, who occu- pied the apartment above Miss Walker’s, | detected the odor of gas on awaking | yesterday morning and ordered the tor to cut off the supply from his itchen until the leak could be located. Returning to his apartment last night, Carusi again noticed the gas and noti- fled the manager of the apartment bullding. The search led to the door of Miss Walker's apartment and the fire rescue squad was summoned. Fire- men had to force entry to the door. ‘They also had to force the lock on an inner hallway door before locating Miss ‘Walker's body. Perents of Miss Walker, living at El- mira, N. Y., were led and funeral ‘arrangements will be completed after their arrival here. FINANCIE-E IS FOUND. Partner of Briton Who Failed- for $40,000,000 Lives in Milan.

INTERNATIONAL ROAD SPEEDED BY MEXICO Laredo, Tex., Point of Entrance on New South€fn Highway. Mexico is concentrating on complet- ing its portion of the proposed inter- national highway that is to link Canada with South America, says the San Fran- cisco Chronicle. This pan-American road is to enter Mexico at Laredo, Tex., and leave at Tapachula, Chiapas, on the Guatemalan border. From Laredo a highway has been constructed as fur south as Cludad Victoria, capital of the State of Tamaulipas, by way of Mon- terey, State of Nuevo Leon, Mexico's industrial center. By the end of 1929 it is hoped by the National Road Commission to complete a passable road from Ciudad Victoria to Valles, State of San Luis Potosi, by way of Tampico. In 1930 the scheduled program is to extend the highway from Valles to Jacala, State of Hidalgo, which is already connected by highway wih Mexico City, and from there to Pueblo, capital of the State with the same name From Pueblo to the Guatemalan bor- ight stretch of road, State of Oaxaca, an old-fashioned town with an abundance of tropical verdure and one that is noted for old and heau- tiful churches. After leaving Oaxaca and Tuxtla Gu- tierrez, tropical capital of the State of Chiapas, the tourist will pass ihrough almost virgin regions in the southern part of Chiapas. It is believed that this highway will improve economic conditions and the country will be even more Ameri- canized. Monument for Aviatrix.

KINS COFFEE owes its de- iicious fresh flavor to the fact that its goodness reaches you as . ESH as when it left the roast- ers. It is roasted right here in Washington and delivered to grocers right away. No coffee roasted out- side of Washington can possibly have the same freshness. It takes less time to deliver within a 10-mile radius than within a radius of sev- eral hundred miles. And your grocer buys only as much Wilkins Coffee as he can dispose of immediately. He carries a small stock frequently re- newed. The Wilkins deliveryman is as familiar a figure to him as the breadman. g Wit KINS Sale Will Continue Only Until This Stock 1s Disposed of, So Better Hurry for Best Selection OF COU_;‘_ LL SALES MUST BE FINAL Will _Calls (Efiainly;—But No Exchanges Reprinted Below Evening Star Item of Tuesday Qct. 29 on Page 9 »—more often than not, is the dining table.
