JACK CUDAHY DEAD BY HIS OWN HAND REFUSED A LOAX OF $10,000 SOX OF LATE PACKER COMMITS SUICIDE BY SHOOT-ING Los Angeles. April 21. John P. (Jack) Cudahy, son of the late Mi chael Cudahy, Internationally known packer of Kansas City, who was found dead on Wednesday in his bedroom with his head shattered by a shotgun wound, committed suicide after falling to negotiate a $10,000 loan with a Chicago bank. Loiil? N'otorlons Cudahy was in the spotlight of pub licity in 1910, when he was alleged to have found his wife and Jere Lillis, a wealthy Kansas City resident, In a compromising situation.

Cudahy, who was accompanied by his chauffeur, bound Lillis and mutiliated him, according to reports. No arrests were made. Cudahy and his wife were di vorced at that time but a reconcili ation was effected later. Being Catho-llos, they did not remarry, deciding to be unnecessary. Recently there have been renewed reports that Cudahy was to bring di vorce proceedings, and he had taken up a separate residence In a Los Angeles hotel, with this1 end In view, It was stated.

Can't Lire on $100,000 McMahan said Mrs. Cudahy, the widow, told him her husband received letter on Tuesday from an officer if the bank informing him the loan ould not be carried unless "vouched for" by another member of the Cuda hy family. On Wednesday, according to McMahan, Cudahy received a telegram rom the relative In question declin- ng to vouch for the loan. Cudahy las been spending beyond his income $100,000 a year left him by his ather. The dead man, who was 43 years Id, and his wife and four children, ad lived In Pasadena and Los Angeles or several years.

Another Incident In December, 1914, Mrs. Cudahy elephoned to Dr. B. O. Coates, of Pas- dena, the family physician, that Tack was "on a spree over at the club." She asked Coates to accompany her vnd get him.

She said she was afraid would tip her over if she went alone and drove the car back. Dr. Coates, accompanied by his wife nd Mrs. Cudahy, got Cudahy home. Then came a battle between Dr.

Coates ind Cudahy. Cudahy got the worst of the physician finally binding him with a piece of rope and laying him a lied to sober up. During the scuffle Mrs. Coates received two brok- ribs. A damage suit for $30,000 was filed by Coates against Cudahy, nd the doctor ceased being the fam ily physician.

When the United States entered the war, Cudahy enlisted in the second fficers' training camp at the Presidio nd emerged with a captain's conunls- ion. He was never assigned to active service, and after a few months, for some unpublished reason, was return- to civilian life by the board at Camp Lewis.
