BEVERLEY HILLS, Calif., July 10.— Ray Long, once one of the Nations leading editors, was dead today, ap- parently a suicide victim under cir- cumstances he must have scanned ' in many a short story plot. He was belleved to have been dis- couraged over the waning of the literary success that was his for more than a score of years. Fatally wounded, Long was found in the bed room of his Beverley Hills home late yesterday. Nearby was a small rifle. Long died in an emergency hospital as a hurried operation was attempted. Known as the man who guided & host of writers to fame and wealth, who translated the public's reading tastes into money-making publica- tions, Long's death was marked by an enigmatic twist. He left no note, as far as could be found, explaining his act. No Doubt of Suicide. “There is no doubt it was a su- icide,” sald A. G. Peterson, Beverley Hills officer who investigated the death. The 57-year-old executive, who came to California to become story editor for various motion picture | studios following a varied and color- ful career in New York, had not been feeling well, his housekeeper, Mrs. Helen Andt, said. Mrs. Lucy Bovie Long, his widow, said at her home last night in Green- wich, Conn., that she did not know whether she would come West imme- diately. E. B. Hatrick, magazine executive and former associate of Long, said he had talked with the widow and she requested that Long's body be cre- mated and the ashes placed in a vault here until further arrange- ments are made. Long, who guided to prominence such present-day. writers as O. O. Mc- Intyre, Peter B. Kyne, Damon Runyon, Ring Lardner and many others, had worked in an executive capacity here | aging editor. for Columbia, Fox and Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studios after retiring from the Eastern magazine fields. A short time ago Long was named Western editor of Liberty Magazine and subsequently assumed an editor's post on Photoplay, & fan magazine. While these positions and his studio ‘work were well paid, they hardly com- pared to the $180,000 & year Lofig made at the peak of his career. For 12 years he was editor of Cosmopolitan Magazine and president- editor of the International Magazine Co., publisher of Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping and other journals. Long was born in Lebannon, Ind., March 23, 1878, and was educated in Indianapolis schools. His first job on & newspaper was with the Indianapolis Star, and later he drifted to Cleve- land and Cincinnati. In the latter city he was a police reporter for the Post and later became city and man- It was later in the magasine field that Long became widely known. His first experience in this line was editor of Hamptons and after that he suc- cessfully edited Red Book, Blue Book and Green Book. In 1919 he became an official of the International Maga- zine Co. and was editor in chief of all its publications, including Cos- mopolitan. He retired from that position in 1931 and for a time engaged in the book-publishing business, but a year later he came to Hollywood and went into motion picture worl Progressive Chrysler & Plymouth Dealers Skinker Motor Co., Inc. 1216 20th St. N.W.
