ing and that the tragedy followed
a party at the farm house.
The death of the girl who popu
larised the song. "What Is This
Thing - Called Love" In the show
"Fifty Million Frenchmen" In which
she was co-featured with Betty
Compton (Mrs. James J. Walker)
was first reported as suicide.
Followed Quarrel.
Rogers said there was an argu
ment during the night and that the
girl, who won Broadway prominence
playing the lead In "Yours Truly"
oppostt Leon Errol, went upstairs
alone.
"We heard a shot." Rogers said.
and when we ran upstairs we found
her' lying on the floor."
A single bullet had entered the
left side of the 25-year-old girl's
head, passed completely through and
embedded Itself in the wall.
At her feet police found a .46
calibre, pearl handled pistol. On the
bed was an automatic covered with
blood, and in a corner of the room
was a sawed off shotgun.
Rogers, whose 29 years have been
packed with adventure seeking, was
taken to the Chester county prison.
Chief of Police Chester Gllsson and
Detective Francis Grubb were the
officers who said Rogers had been
drtnklng.
Chauffeur Tells Police.
Word of the Mlnneapolls-born act
ress' death came from Frank Ca
tano, Rogers' chauffeur. He drove
to nearby Gutherievllle early today
and said a suicide had taken place
at the Indian Run farm of Rogers.
Catano first told his story to Dr.
Thomas Richmond, and he declined
to make the Journey to the farm
when his wife objected on the
grounds that she disliked the repu
tation of the place.
It was then that Catano came
here and notified Chief Gllsson.
While the police chief was awaiting
the arrival of Deputy Coroner Har
vey Cox, Rogers' attorney. Joseph
Clark, rushed into the office and
also reported a suicide at the farm.
When the party of police officials
arrived at the Rogers place they
found Rogers and a companion.
William James Kelly of Union City,
N. J., In little condition for ques
tioning, due. the chief said, to intoxication.
Just Another Party. I
Detective Grubb remarked later
that the events preceding the tragedy i
apparently were "Just another party."
All the persons at the farm were
fully clothed.
Chief Gllsson said he was told
that Rogers. an hour before the
shooting, had ripped the telephone
from the wall. The fact that it was
disconnected delayed notification ol
authorities about 45 minutes, he
said.
There was evidence of much drink
ing, the police found. Unfinished I
drinks stood about on tables. There I
was gtngerale. liquor and melting I
Ice in the living room. I
What the nature of the quarrel
was preceding the shooting was
cloaked in lack of detail. Rogers told
the officers that as a result of an
exchange of words the torch singer
had shouted she was going to "pack
and go home." It was then she ran
upstairs. Shortly afterward, accord
ing to the story told, there was the
sound of the shot that cost the
actress her life.
The chauffeur told officers that
both Rogers and Kelly had tcld him
they were on the first floor of the
house when the shooting occurred.
P.ncers' Drinking.
"Rogers had been drinking." said
the chauffeur, "and was hard to
understand. He said he heard the
shot, ran upstairs, saw the girl's
body and then came downstairs w
call for help. Kelly said the same
thing. Kelly added that he and
Rogers were talking when the shot
occurred."
The girl was born December 15,
1910. in Minneapolis. She was dt-
munltive. blue eyed, and had honey
colored hair. In the summer of 1928
she played in Paris, and she had
the feminine lead in the London
production of "Good News." Her
earlier experience included vaude
ville appearances and a road tour
with the "Greenwich Village Fol
lies."
The shooting took place some time
around midnight. It was still dark
when the officers finished their first
examination at the farm and brought
Rogers to prison here. Kelly also
was ordered held as a material wit
ness. Kelly is married. Mrs. Kelly, In
Union City, declined to discuss the
case until after she had received an
expected telephone call from her
husband.
Rogers Spectacular.
Rogers has been in and out of
the public prints for many years,
both by reason of the great wealth
of his father, who died recently, and
because of his own adventurous bent
Miss Hoey had been a guest at the
farm house for a week, present
there also were Rogers, Kelly, a but
ler and the chauffeur.
Her body was removed this rhorn
lng. being brought to a morgue here.
Later the body was taken to the
county hospital at West Chester for
an autopsy.
Young Rogers fared none too well
under the will of his father, who
died in July. The provision made for
him under the will of Colonel Henry
Huddleston Rogers was the Income
for a 500.000 trust fund. The will
was filed July 30 at Riverhead, Long
Island.

projects was expressed today by high
officials.

changes In administering the 4,
500.000,000 work relief appropriation
coincided with today's final deadline
for submitting applications of all

The total of PWA applications
stood at more than 3 .000 ,000 .000,
with several western towns still to
be heard from, while the work prog
ress application administration tal
lied up to more than 93.000,000.000.
What proportion of these would be
rejected depended In large measure
on today's deliberations.
