CRUSHED TO DEATH.
A Woodstock Woman Killed by an Elevator
 in Brooklyn.


 Brooklyn, June 9.-Sarah Jane Lester, aged forty, of Woodstock, Conn.,, a teacher in the Young Mems Christian association, at Schermerhorn street and Flatbush avenue, was killed at 1920 this afternoon by having her head crushed between the first and basement floors while riding in the elevator of the building. Just how the accident hap pened no one knows. The supposition is that John Owens, the janitor left the elevator for a moment and that Miss Lester somehow pulled the rope. As the elevator started upward she leaned out to call to Owens, Her head struck the first floor, and before owens could reach the ropes she was caught and crushed to death, her head being hor- ribly mutilated.
 Miss Lester became teacher in tlsa association two years ago and was well liked by all of her pupils. The po- lice notified the coroner of the death, and an investigation will be made.

Citizen Ellis Stood Up for His Rights at
 Quarantine and is Getting Them.

Citizen Ellis Stood Up for His Rights ai l Quarantine and is Getting Them. l New York, June 9.-In the steerage
 of all transatlantic passenger steam
 ships there are placards, printed in sew
 eral languages, telling all immigrants and returning American citizens that the health regulations of all American
 ports require all persons in the steera ge 1 to be vaccinated.
 In the steerage of the American liner
 New York, which arrived yesterday from Southampton, was Charles B. El- lis, c. F., formerly chief engineer of the New York, Newfoundland and London
 Telegraph company, importer of liquid fish glue, A Dunbar street, Walton, Lv-
 erpool" Mir. Ellis doesn't believe in
 vaccination, and he distributed circu- lars of his own composition among the
 steerage passengers telling what bad
 thing 1t was to risk getting vaccinIated.
 Two days before the New York got into port the ships surgeon, pr. J. c. l.. Kilgfarriff, went into the steerage to ex- anime the arms of the passengers for vaccination marks. Everybody barred his or her arm except Civil Engineer El- lis. He objected to vaccination on the ground that one of his children had been made very i'll by it, and also be- cause he believed it was no good in keeping off smallpox. Dr. Kilgarrff ar gued vainly with Ellis.
 When the ship got into quarantine Deputy Health Officer Sanborn orterd Ellis to leave the New York and go on the boarding tug for transfer to quaran- tine. Ellis fiatly refused to do so. and there was no legal way of making him to do it, as there was no smallpox on the ship. Dr. Sanborn headed Ellis off by notifying Dr. Wheeler, Uncle Sam's medical expert in charge at Ellis Isl and, to detain Ellis. pr. Wheeler did so. While Ellis cannot be vaccinated against his will, he may be isolated for fourteen days, the incubative period for smallpox. Ellis says he Is an American citizen

| Failing at Murder, He Put Bullet in Hi | own Heart.
 | New York, June 9.--Charles Hrabak a Bohemian laborer, thirty years old committed suicide in the hallway ot | BPS East Seventy first street yesterday afternoon after attempting to murder 1 Mary Vohlidka, thirty-eight years old who lives at 492 East Seventy-fourth street She escaped with a bullet hole 1 In the ear. Hrab bak shot himself in the heart and died instantly. The tragedy was caused by the woman refusing to live with Hrabak. He had threatened several times to kill her, and this ad- vance warning proved her salvation. When she saw him draw a revolver
 yesterday she fled.
 Both the woman and the suicide were
 married. He was separated from his
 wife and she from her husband. Two
 years ago Hrabak went to board with
 her. She worked as cigar stripper in
 factory in East Sixty-third street;
 he was a laborer. Three days ago they
 quarrelled and Hrabak went to live in
 East Eighty-sixth street.
 He went to the cigar factory where
 the woman worked at noon yesterday
 and the two walked up Third avenue
 together as far as Seventy-fifth street, and then tuned down that street. When
 the corner of Second avenue was reached Hrabak who had been en-
 treating the woman to go and live with him again, suddenly halted and insisted that she give him a decisive answer. She got frightened and ran down the street, followed by Hrabak. When op- posite BPS the woman dashed into the hallway. Hrabak, who was close be- hind her, drew a revolver and fred The bullet struck her on the left shoul- der, glanced upward and pierced her ear. Afterward 1t was found imbedded in the wall of the hallway A second bullet passed over her head as she ran up stairs. Hrabak stood at the foot of the stairs, and, placing the weapon against his breast, fired.
 The woman never stopped in her flight until she reached the roof. Po- liceman Thomas Reilly heard the shoot ing and reached the house as Hrabak fell dead. He called an ambulance from the Presbyterian hospital and the surgeon dressed the wound in the womans ear, She then went to the East Sixty-seVenth street station, where she made an explanation of the tragedy. The services of an interpreter had to be secured, as the woman does not speak a word of English, although more than eleven years in this coun- try. Both she and Hrabak came from Bohemia.

SIXTEENTH wARDERs ARoUsrD.

Object to FraIwe Building Erected on William Street Near Bradley Street.
 The residents of the Seventh ward are much exercised over the fact that the National Folding Box and Paper company's factory, No 2, have recently built a one-story frame building on William street, and extending through
 to Madison street. The building is twenty-five feet in height, has front age of about thirty feet and a depth of 200 feet. It is an enlargement of the company's factory, owing to constantly increasing business.
 The Seventh warders claim that the building has been erected within the fire limits and without any permission having been secured from Fire Marshal Hubbard. The building was started last Tuesday and completed within g. week.
 One of the aldermen of the ward in speaking of the matter last night said: 'The building Is a menace to the sur rounding property. It is full of com bustible material, and were a fire to break out the entire block, bounded by Franklin, William, Bradley and Madi- son streets, would be in imminent dan ger of destruction. A special meeting of the fire commissioners should be call ed, and the fire marshal instructed to have the building removed at once. I know for a fact that the insurance on property in the neighborhood is ieopardized and of one insurance com pany which has cancelled its risks there because of the erection of this frame building within the fire limts."
