WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Coroner's Verdict of Suicide Not In
dorsed by Family.

Coroner hewitt was summoned to 20co
18th street northwest yesterday afternoon
to investigate the death of Mrs. Betty
Newman The woman had been burned
to death earlier in the afternoon, and the
coroner concluded that she had taken her
life. He thereupon gave a certificate to
that effect. Members of the family believe
the coroner did not reach a correct con-
clusion and say her death was the result
of accident. Mrs. Newman was found
In the summer kitchen in the rear of the
house by Mrs. Emma Brown, who had
been attracted there by the odor of smoke.
When she reached the place she threw a
rug about the burning garments Of Mrs.
Newman and summoned assistance from
the street. Two men responded promptly
to her appeal and tried to save the wo-
mans life, but they were too late. Mrs.
Newman died a few minutes later.
The coroner was told that Mrs. Newman
had once been under treatment at st.
Elizabeth Hospital for the Insane, but
had been at her home more than two years.
Witnesses told him she had not talked
much since her return home and that her
one thought was that she was to be burn
ed to DEATH She was alone In the sum-
mer kitchen when the fire started, and con-
sequently there was no eye witness to the
tragedy. In the kitchen near her several
burned matches were found, and there was
also found box of ma tches, from which
only few had been taken. The deceased
was forty-six years old.

Death-on-Fun Club Gives a Dance

The girls of the east telephone exchange
have formed social organization which
will be known as THE Death-on-Fun Club"
The club gave it's initial dance last night
at the residence of Mrs. Dyer, 1917 I

was the consensus of opinion of those who
participated in the happy function that the
members of the club are better fun-makers
than fun-killers as the name of the organf-
cation suggests.
The committee in charge of the affair
comprised Miss NJ. Clendaniel, Miss K Bur
zine. Miss Viola Barber Miss Deach ard
