Mrs. Henry Ashurst ’
Wife of Senator,
Dies of Long Illness
Was Native of Ireland,
Noted for Her
Nimble Wit
Mrs. Henry F. Ashhurst, 65, wife
of Senator Ashurst of Arizona, died
today after a long illness at her
home, 1602 K street N.W.
Mrs. Ashurst was bom Elizabeth
Lillian McEvoy in Kilkenny, Ire
land, August 15, 1874. She was a
schoolmistress at the age of 14.
In 1890 she came with her fam
ily to the United States, taking up
residence in Baltimore, Md., where
she attended a business college for
women. There she married Milton
G. Renoe, his eminence, the late
James Cardinal Gibbons perform
ing the ceremony. A son by this
marriage, John Russell Renoe, sur
vives.
Went to Arizona.
Mr. Renoe died in Cheyenne,
Wyo., in 1897 and a little more than
a year later his widow was ap
pointed manager of a Weather Bu
reau station at Flagstaff, Ariz.
She managed the station six
years, marrying Mr. Ashhurst, then
a student in the University of Mich
igan Law School, in 1904.
As the wife of Senator Ashurst,
Mrs. Ashurst was popular with the
many whom she met here In Wash
ington. Preferring to remain in the
background, she left politics to her
husband, devoting ner energies for
the most part to the Senate Wom
en’s Luncheon Club.
Tribute From Mrs. Borah.
Mrs. William E. Borah, wife of
Senator Borah of Idaho, a friend of
Mrs. Ashurst, said of her this morn
ing:
“She was the most charitable
woman I ever knew, and though
noted for her nimble wit, Mrs.
Ashurst never said an unkind word
of any one."
Also surviving are three sisters,
Mrs. Edward P. Monck and Miss
Agnes McEvoy, both of Philadelphia,
Pa., and Mrs. Catherine Byrne of
New York City.
Man and Wife Leap
27 Floors fo Death
By the Aseocltted Free*.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.—Samuel
Walker and his wife, who through
their 15 years of married life had
never wanted to be apart, died
together today because they were
broke and desperate.
Only strangers, hurrying to work
in the midtown section of the city,
saw them die—two tiny figures
hurtling from separate windows of
a room on the 27th floor of the Hotel
New Yorker.
He was 40: she was 36. They had
had everything once—money, a nice
apartment. Unfortunate deals in
the butter and egg business had
brought their financial standing low.
They had given up the apartment
and turned to living in hotels.
Last week Mrs. Walker went to
West New York, N. J., to see her
sister, Mrs. Helen Yeakel. who gave
her some jewelry of negligible value.
Mrs. Yeakel thought little of the
gift although she had heard the
Walkers talk of suicide often.
“They were extremely devoted to
each other,” she told detectives
todav.
On Saturday they went to the
hotel, registering as "Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel Wilson of Detroit, Mich.”
They smoked cigarettes and talked
—endless conversations apparently
lasting through half the night.
For four days they talked. Early
today they came to a decision.
Their cigarettes were gone. Dawn
was whitening the skies. They
climbed to the windowsills, stood
a moment, then plunged.
The detectives found a dollar in
their room, a few clothes, of good
make but worn thin.

Ihlder Cites Streets
As Important Link
In Slum Clearance
':'4 •. •
A. D. A. Head Addresses
Women Voters League
Housing Committee
The need of additional large traffic
arteries was cited as an Important
link in the District's slum clearance
ind housing program by John Ihlder,
lead of the Alley Dwelling Authority,
srho spoke to the Housing Committee
if the Voteless District of Columbia
League of Women Voters at a lunch
son yesterday in the Y. W. C. A.
Building.
“As traffic congestion tends to in
crease land overcrowding, so land
overcrowding multiplies traffic prob
lems,” the speaker declared to the
group which opened a study of the
causes and prevention of slum areas
In Washington.
Zoning Study Emphasised.
Mr. Slider emphasized the im
portance of zoning study in planning
new highways. “Highway engineers
must plan for future traffic and not
only existing volume of traffic,” he
said. Mr. Slider was of the opinion
that a subway system for the Capital
would result in a greater population
increase in downtown areas.
The Alley Dwelling Authority is
now broadening its activities to in
clude not only the elimination of
present slums but the prevention of
future blighted areas, he said.
Characterizing a city as a living
organism, Mr. Slider said a city’s
growth should be controlled and
guided in the best interest of the
community. Ineluding the provision
of proper housing for all. The in
telligence and foresight of its
builders will be shown by the degree
to which its housing exceeds mini
mum essentials of good living con
ditions, ho said.
Mrs. Williams Presides.
Housing problems Increase, he
pointed out, when prosperous cit
izens leave the^lty to move into the
country. Persons of lower wage
levels take over the vacated areas
In greater numbers, he said, and
lower taxable values and overcrowd
ing result.
Mrs. Chester Williams, who pre
sided at the meeting, announced the
Housing Committee would hold its
next meeting November 21.
