TRY AGAIN
ODESTROY
HIS HOME
Victim, Pursued by Enemy,
and Members Of His
Family, Terrified.

What he believes to be another attempt
to burn his house, at 2S9 Van Buren street.
was discovered yesterday afternoon by
Frank Uzzinilo. who lays threats against
him to the Black Hand. The last, or
fifth attempt, at incendiarism, was discov-
cred by Uzzinilo yesterday afternoon, when
he found gasoline-soaked burlap sack
under the building. Shortly after discov-
ering the sack a letter carrier delivered
letter to the house. The handwriting
on the envelope has now become familiar
to the man and his family. eight similar
missives having been received during the
past five weeks.
One thing which Uzzinilo cannot under
stand is that the writer always relates
some act or move the threatened man
made the previous day, showing conclu-
sively that he is being followed. The let
ters have threatened UZzinilo and his wife
with death, and they also threatened to
kidnap their 8-year-old daughter, Elsie.
Uzznilo as stated, has received eight
letters. Three of these are In the posses
sion Of the police. and an investigation is
being made. The man fears to tell the
police the true situation.
1t has been learned there is a woman in
the case, and that she lives in Coney
Island
Mrs Uzzinilo claims that her husband
has been instrumental in getting the
woman away from fellow countryman,
and that the man has taken this method
of obtaining revenge for what he considers
an injury. While the letters are unsigned,
except for the words BLACK Hand" they
are apparently written by this man, ac-
cording to Mrs. Uzzinilo's statement.
She said that she told her husband to
turn the letters over to the police. but
he refused, saying that they were too
nasty She said that the letters would
come within the jurisdiction of the Fed
eral authorities If her husband would only
turn them over, but he has refused to
do so.
The first attempt to burn Uzzinio S
place was made on the night of July 81.
Subsequent attempts were made weekly.
The fires were always discovered before
they did much damag.

Sheriff Frank H. Sommer, If nomi-

Office as sheriff, which would then be
filled by appointment Of the present
Governor. Instead, If nominated and
elected, he will hold on until he as
sumes the Governorship, which, would
be next January. He will then appoint
his own successor.
This announcement was made last
night by the sheriff in a speech at the
Colby meeting in the New Auditorium
This declaration provoked considera-
BILE guessing relative to who the sue
cessor might be. Some people advanced
the proposition that it would be Under
Sheriff Charles M. Mason, despite the
fact that the latter is a Democrat,
though of an Independent stripe.
To settle any doubt, an EVENING
STAR reporter asked the sheriff today
who he would select to succeed him.
The sheriff would make no open declar-
alton, but he did say that he might
announce, before the primaries shall be
opened next Tuesday afternoon at l

banquet where the toast, Long life
to the bride and groom" seemed most
fitting and a promise certain to be
fulfilled.
The young athlete was well connected
with some of the prominent German
families in the western section of the
city, and when the marriage took place
a large delegation made the long jour
ney to Massachusetts to take part in
the festivities. Miss I<rueger's family
reside in Holyoke, and it was planned
to make the home of the brides parents
the headquarters of the young married
couple during the honeymoon, the
parents of the bride having turned their
home over to the young people.
Mrs. Blechschmidt, the young bride
widow, is mourning beside the body of
her athlete husband today, verging
closely on utter collapse.
The Rev. Carl Girtanner, of the Blum
Street German Reformed Church, de-
livered the funeral sermon this after
noon Woodland Cemetery is the place
of interment. The pallbearers: Robert

PLAY,LITTLE
GIRL DIES
FOur-year-Old Lillian Stick
els the Victim s. Last
Words Of School.

Through the carelessness of a resi-
dent in the vicinity of Seventeenth and
Morris avenues and Hunterdon street
is due the death of Lillian Stickels, 4
years old, daughter of John and Mar
garet Stickles, of 42S Morris avenue.
The child died this morning from burns
at bonfire near her home shortly be-
fore 5 o'clock last evening, in the City
Hospital. County Physician Elliott was
notified and granted a permit for the
removal of the body to the victims late
home.
That the little one was not instantly
burned to death was due to the timely
action of Arthur Harris. foreman of
the Stanley Contracting Company, who
was supervising some work liz Seven
teenth avenue. and who heard the
child's cries. He rushed to her assist
ance and carried her to a room in the
rear of Charles Muentnich's saloon, at
Seventeenth and Morris avenues. Ills
hands were badly burned, an5 Mrs.
Mary Muentnich, the proprietors wife,
tore off the burning garments on the
child and poured bottle of sweet oil
over her.
BY this time Cecilia Chicken a friend
of the Sticlles. rushed to the child's
home and told Mrs. Sticlxles, and she
ran to the side of her child end be-
came hysterical and had to be revived.
Some one telephoned to the Fourth Pre-
cinct police station and the patrol
wagon responded. In the meartime an
other call was sent in to the CRY Hos
pital, and when their ambulance was
responding it connected with the patrol,
and the child was lifted from one TO
another and the physician In charge
set to work at once to alleviate the
suffering of the little victim. During
the night the girl was in intense agony.
and a few hours before the end came
said, "Let me go to school," The child.
in fact had been eager for the reopen
ing of school
From what could be learned Lillian, with
several playmates, following a usual GUS
tom. went TO a triangular plot at Morris
and Seventeenth avenues and Hunderton
street TO play. A short time previous a
man threw some garbage on the lot and
nut a match to II and walked Off disre-
gardng the safety Of the little ones, 1t
appears that the flames were smouldering
and unnoticed by the Stickles girl. and as
SHE was about to run across the lot she
stumbled over the burning garbage and
almost instantly her clothes caught fire.
and when she ran toward her home, about
300 feet away. Harris followed. Lifting the
little girl In his arms he carried her to the
place mentioned above and laid her on a
sofa.
The Identity of the man who set fire to
the paper which brought about the death
of the child is not known

Mrs. Fish Horribly Hacked With
a Butchers CIeaver-Her
Husband May Die--Was
for 20 Years Prominent
Business Man.

CHICAGO, Sept. MRS. Fred M.
Fish, the wife of wealthy retired
broker, was found murdered in her
home at 423 Davis street. Evanston,
early today.
Her husband. with his threat cut,
was found unconscious on the floor of
the bedroom in which the body Of Mrs.
Fish was lying.
1t is the opinion of the police that
Fish murdered his wife and then at
tempted to commit suicide. He was
hurried to a hospital, but it is doubt
full whether he revives sufficiently to
make a statement
Mr. and Mrs. Fish were heard by
their neighbors in violent alterca-
ton late last night, and it is believed
that Fish arose early today, and after
discharging a shotgun into his wife's
head hacked her in a horrible fashion
with butchers cleaver.
A servant girl. who was in the house,
declared that she heard the report OF
a shotgun early this morning, and the
cleaver with which Mrs. Fish was
mangled was found lying beside the
bed.
Fish had been for twenty years as
sociated with a prominent commission
house which recently retired from
business. He was in poor health.

FORT
HEARS FRAUD
ACCUSATIONS
Made by Merrit l. Lane,
Of HobOken, in Supreme
Court.

Especial to the Evening, star.l

JERSEY CITY. NSept. 7.-Open war
was declared on Republican political
methods in Hoboken when Merritt L..
Lane this morning made charges of
fraud before Justice ]. Franklin Fort
in the Supreme Court, when he asked
for an order to direct the city clerk of
Hoboken, James II. Londrigen, to cor
rect the primary ticket arrarged for
next Tuesday. The ticket which is
that of the first district of the Second
Ward, where it is alleged by Mr.. Lane
four names were fraudulently placed on
the petitions naming the nominees for
delegates. After testimony had been
heard Justice Fort refused to grant the
order.
The names Mr.. Lane desired to have
stricken from the ticket are those of
George @. Brol1haus. who is proposed
as a delegate to the State convention;
William b. Sites and Charles Zschum-
MEL to the county convention, and
Martin Schmidt, Ernest Walters. Will
lam H. Maxson, jr., Robert S. Palleh-
ner, Joseph A. Brennan and John T.
Hagan to the city convention.
Mr.. Lane said that Edward Thomas
and George Jost did not sign the petit
ton upon which their names appear,
and that Joseph Thomas and Edward
F. Young are two men not in existence
as far as he could learn.
Justice Fort asked If City Clerk Lon
drigan had been subpoenaed to appear
in Supreme Court today with the pc
titions in question. Mr.. Lane replied in
the negative. He had sent Mr.. Londri-
gan a notice of his intention to appeal
to the court for the order and he had
considered this sufficient.
The law states that it is within the
province of the court to only order a
correction of a ballot when there Is an
omission or error manifest, which was
not the fact in this case. He told Mr..
Lane that the proper method of proce-
dure he would consider would be to
prosecute the men he believed had
fraudulently acted.
Justice Fort said he would hear tes-
timony, however, in the matter, and
