T, e " o 'STATE BEARS DOWN Secretaries Say Evangelist Is| Blind—Doctor Contradicts Los Angeles, Aug. 20 (UP) — Al- though suffering from a serious ner- vous-breakdown, Mrs. Aimee Semple | McPherson admitted newspapermen to her sick room today to deny the story that she had knocked her mother down in a quarrel. “I never would strike never!" cried the evangelist did have a slight argument, mother received when she threw herself face down- ward on the floor in a tantrum ‘The argument was the result of some unkind remarks mother was said to have made about Angelus Temple employees.” The injury received in the quarrel Eent the evangelist's mother, Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, to a hospital. Though nervous and at times verging on the point of hysteria, the evangelist did not appear to be “dy- ing” as bulletins posted last night at Angelus Temple reported. Ordered Quiet Mrs. McPherson saw reporters 2gainst the advice of her physician, who had ordered her to remain “quiet.” Also in apparent disregard of the “quiet” order. Mrs. McPherson's rented cottage was ablaze lights long after midnight. Temple followers, private guards and nurses walked back and forth through the house. When reporters finally were ad- mitted, they saw a handsome, black- haired. black-moustached young man walking about the house in brightly flowered pajamas. His presence was not explained Devoted followers of the square” gospel prayed today for the recovery of their leader from her nervous breakdown Uncomforted by a physician’s statement that the evangelist's con- dition was not so alarming as re- ported. secretaries of Mrs. McPher- son maintained that she was blind and critically ill Throughout the night hundreds of persons inquired about her tion, and were asked to continue in “ernest prayer.” Today at Angelus Temple read the following bulletin Sister is blind. No marked im- provement. Suffering greatly. Please continuc in earnest prayer.” Most of the time her eyes were covered with bandages soaked in scothing liniments as a means of re- lieving eve strain. However, there was little evidence to support a statement of Miss Emma Schaeffer, a secretary. that “her face looked just like death.” Predicts Recovery The physician who examined Mrs. McPherson, however, was of the opinion her recovery would be fair- 1y rapid She is not dying and she is not Ylind,” said Dr. Edward H. Williams Her eyes are partiy closed and badly strained as a result of her nervous breakdown. She will be all right with two weeks of rest.” Nevertheless. many who have been comforted by the evangelist said prayers last night and resumed them today in the hope Mrs. McPherson soon would be restored to health The new bulletin at Angelus Temple was signed by Miss Harriet Jordan, assistant to Mrs son. In addition to Miss Jordan, Miss Emma Schaeffer and Miss Mae Wal- dron, both trusted secretaries, in- sisted that Mrs. McPherson's condi- tion was critica Calls Her “Near Death” Miss Schaeffer, who was at beach with Mrs. McPherson four years ago when the evangelist as- sertedly was kidnapped, declared that Mrs. McPherson was near death and blind. It was she who first an- nouced Mrs. McPherson's purported loss of sight. Miss Waldron supported Miss Jor- dan and Miss Schaeffer by declaring that Mrs. McPherson was in an hy- sterical condition and appeared to be sinking rapidly It was the culmination of a ser- fes of minor incidents.” Mrs. Ken- nedy said in explaining the irouble with her daughter “I came to the temple to help sis- ter because the business affairs getting out of hand. She was always a great evangelist you know, but sh was not & very §ood business wom- an “I told sister, ‘I'll be the Mussolini of business and you run religion.' “I worked things into good shape at once, but I made encmies of some of sister's friends. We had a num- ber of arguments and then one day she called me to her office. Sh furious and after some words shc struck me on the no o next thing I knew I was on fhe floor. Opens New Church “I had to go to Olympia, Wash- ington, to see about opening a new church but when I came back T en- tered the hospital to have my nose tixed “I held up my entry to the hospital because I knew sister her face lifted the same as I had done before "We both had face lifts. There is | nothing wrong with that, is there? Sister will tell you about hers if you ask her.” The titian-haired evangelist “We the was was closely guarded at her Malibu cot- | tage by a group of followers “desig- nated” to the task by Miss Schacf- fer “Sister has been to death,” Miss Jordan “Nobody outside the temple knows the thousand and one things she has to sec to, and on top of all that come these terrible, untrue charges.” A face lifting operation of the Kind Mrs. McPherson had performed ranged in cost from $1,000 to $2,500, it was said. working herself SCIENT REACH OSLO Oslo, Norway, Aug. 20 (P—A par- ty of American scientists under Dr. John H.

Recent rains and the ap- proach of the fail season have served to improve the current demand well as to create a more outlook. Some fall lines being shipped and next month the movement should be in full swing. From present indi- cations the customary mid-summer lull is nearing its end. The improved sentiment is expect- ed to result in more interest being shown by dealers in anticipating fu ture requirements. Hardware terials allied to struction projects are very dull. In contrast, painting supplies are excellent demand and in many tions a better paint business is re- ported than for any recent year. This |is attributed to the fact that many | home owners painting their own | in housewares this season. | Prices are remar | sidering present conditions. Prac- | tically no revisions of c ave become cffective recently and no major changes appear likely at this time. The credit situation is considered fairly satisfactory.
