Died. Dr. John Richard Brinkley, 56, Kansas' goat-bearded "goat-gland" medico-politico; of heart disease; in San Antonio.

In his heyday he had three yachts, several raudy limousines, decorated himself with diamonds, employed 50 secretaries, took in a reputed $1,000,000 a year. He sold prescriptions over the air from his own radio station, broadcast diagnoses, threw in a little preaching. After Kansas revoked his license to practice and the old Federal Radio Commission stopped his broadcasts, he moved the scene of his operations over the Mexican border. He ran for Governor of Kansas three times, nearly won twice, ran for Senator from Texas last year, withdrew in the middle of the campaign. He finally went bankrupt for more than $1,000,000.

Canadian-born, he was sent to Alaska as a bishop in 1895, the year before the Klondike strike, learned to live in the arctic wilderness, travel behind a dog team, mushed 2,000 miles a year carrying out his duties. When he was 75 he abandoned the dog team for faster means of transportation. Four times he refused bishoprics in the U.S. His own wild diocese covered nearly 600,000 miles.
