LUXURY FADES Girl Adopted by N.Y. Millionaire Tries to End Life } EW GARDENS, L. 1, Aug. ’—With her dreams of wealth and luxury crashing in ruins about her, Ma: Louise Browning, New York’s modern Cinderella, last night tried to end her life by drinking iodine. Her efforts failed, however, as she only swallowed enough to make her slightly {ll and hysterical. ‘oday her physicians reported that she was quite all right and had uffered no fil effects. In the meantime it that her adoption by t was evident New York millionaire, Edward W. Browning, to be companion to Browning’s ther adopted daughter, would not nd. ry's parents admitted that she s not 16 years of age as repre sented at the time of the adoption, but 21. The district attorney's of- fice, which has been investigating the ays this is enough n void. adoption, to make the BROWNING acti WANTS ADOPTION SET ASIDE As a climax Browning tod to the entire affair, said that he is anx the adoption set aside and have Mary returned to her par- ents. Mary's father, too, wants her to come home. In an interview to- |day he stated that he wanted to “see an end of this foolishness and have his daughter return to him. Browning recently selected Mary Spas from 12,000 candidates to be a companion to his foster daughter, Dorothy Sunshine. No sooner was his selection announced than unsuc: cessful candidates went to the New York welfare commission and start- ed the investigation which, it is now apparent, will'result in the ad being set aside. MAGIC COACH TO TURN INTO PUMPKIN First the disgruntled ones com: plained that Mary was not a lisping fous to have fon 16-year-old girl but was 21. | Then complaints were made that | Browning should not be allowed |to adopt the girl unless he hired a woman guardian for her. | The welfare commissioner also probed reports that Browning had |pald an enormous sum to Mary's | parents after the adoption. Brown- jing sald he paid them but $500. With the millionaire now anxious to have the adoption set aside, it is |now certain that Mary’s magic jcoach will turn back into a pump- kin and the modern Cinderella's fairyland will fall like a house of cards, Drier Weather Causes WOMAN ROBBED Fear for State Timber NEAR HOME Forest Fire Situation Continues Seri-' Suspect Denies Any Part in ous; Crews Battle to Save Homes ITH the humidity*daily growin lower and other nd ind conditions worse ,the forest fire tern portion of the and mor weathei seri growing mor fire fighting agencies urday d vy pall of smo! hung over !s Saturday, adding to thi ome of them uncontre the sky with a dense blanket Only one new fire ¥ reported Saturday morning, that up in the | Snoqualmie National forest.
