FOR SUICIDE OF FILM EXECUTIVE Jean Harlow in Hysterics Is Unable to Explain Tragedy JEAN HARLOW Hollywood, Sept. 6. The death of Paul Bern, popular hus band of Jean Harlow, platinum blonde of the screen, today con fronted Hollywood with a mystery akin to the death stories which have swept the film world of late. Slumped before a mirror in a dressing room of his picturesque Bern's body was found yesterday, a bullet hole through the head. Detectives said the young film executive obviously had taken his own life, but they found no hint of the cause.

His bride of only two months was so hysterical when in formed of his death she could not discuss it. Leaves Note When found by a outier, John Carmichael. Bern's right hand gripped a .38 caliber revolver, one chamber discharged. On a nearby dresser was another firearm. Beside a picture of Miss Harlow a note lay.

It read: Dearest dear: Unfortunately this is the only way to make good the frightful wrong I have done you and to wipe my abject humiliation. I love you. Paul." A postscript: "You understand last night was only a comedy." Miss Harlow was overcome with grief and her anguished cries could be heard by a crowd which gathered about the residence of her mother. Mrs. Marino Bello.

Physicians quieted her with sedatives and detectives who sought to discuss the tragedy with her left. They said they would return today, after a coroner's autopsy, in an attempt to find a plausible reason for Bern's act. Close friends of the 42 year old film executive, including Irving Thalberg, who was among the first to reach the residence alter the dis covery by the butler, said Bern had appeared at his omce infrequently during the past ten days. Some expressed the opinion he was on the veree or a nervous oreaKdown Others said Bern had hinted a man might well conclude his life when his work was done. Possibility of domestic difficulties between the couple drew quick denials from in timate mends.

Miss Harlow was at her mother's home when she received word of her husband's death. She had gone there on Saturday night after ork ing at a studio. Friends said she understood Bern would be occupied by a business engaement and she wished to be with her mother, whose husband was on a fishing trip. Bedford Fair Opens Bedford. Sept.

No more heavy type, or seven nasseneer cars will be bought.

Chauffeurs will not be supplied to State officials who own and drive personal cars. Only one car will be allowed each State institution unless it is proven absolutely that more than one is needed.

No new cars will be bought until the present excess and unnecessary cars are used up. High test gasoline may not be used, gas must be bought from refining companies under State contracts. Highway patrolmen will report all State cars used Saturday afternoons, Sundays or on week days after 7 p. m.
