A number of automobile owners In
this city are installing a new warning
horn on their cars. It is far superior
to the old honk honk. II can be heard
a much greater distance and is also o
bit more musical.
The horn Is similar to the well
known nSiren'' though with one pipe
instead OF several. f. A. Morris was
the first owner In this city to place
the new horn on car and today Geo.
Robertson had one placed upon his
handsome new Buick runabout.
The tone Of the horn is deep and
sounds something like locomotive

Mad Act of Woman in Buffalo.
Physicians Say Mrs. Sahleu
Will Die.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 1S-Mrs. Isa-
Della Sahlen fed her three small chill
dren poison today and then strangled
each with handkerchief to make her
work sure. Then she sent to the
grocery store for more poison, which
she took herself. Her three children
were dead when their mother was dis
covered. and Mrs. Sahlen was dying
Physicians did what they could for her.
but it is thought she cannot survive.
In statement which Mrs. Sahlen
made to the police and the medical ex-
aminer, the woman blamed her sister
in-law. who she said caused her much
domestic unhappiness. This noon when
Sahlen was home for his midday meal
his wife, Sahlen, says, said as he went
out the door: 'If this keeps up this
afternoon there will be something hap
pen here tonight"
Husband Took Threat Lightly.
Sahlen took his wife's remark lightly
and went to work. He is a teamster.
He did not learn of his wifes deed until
night.
Just after o'clock Mrs. Sahlen ran out
into her doorway and screamed to her
next door neighbor. Mrs. Brown, that she
had poisoned her three children and her
self. Mrs. Brown rushed into the Sahlen
yard and Mrs Sahlen met her with a
bread knife.
The frantic mother made thrust at
Mrs. Brown, who retreated and called
for help. Physicians and the police found
the three children dead and Mrs. Sahlen
under the first effects OF the poison
Sent for More Poison.
Frank. the fifteen months-old baby,
was dead in his go-cart in the dining
room with a handkerchief stuffed into his
throat. Elizabeth the three-year-old
girl. was evidently killed first and Mrs
Sahlem took the five year-old boy out
of bed from the dead body of his sister
and placed him on the floor. Then she
lay beside the lad. fed him the poison
and strangled him in his agony
The craZed woman had no more poison
left SO she hailed her neighbor's boy
Willie Brown, and sent him for more
Then she returned and put her house in
order while she waited When the boy
returned she took the poison and called
her neighbor.
The medical examiners said the children
had died probably an hour or more be-
fore the mother took the poison herself

The sides of the walls down a narro"

evidence of needing a thorough cleaning
and painting. which the inspector ordered
done at as early a date as possible. With
in the sirup room there was found STAIR
way leading down from a trap door III
the street. which was Uttered with De
cayed straw from the ice, and with dirt
from the street.
Inspector Gallagher looked this estab-
liShment over carefully and 1t was de-
cided to give the proprietor formal
warning to institute q general house
cleaning at once. The reasons given for
not taking especial pains in keeping this
part of the place cleaner were that the
sirup was only kept in the room long
enough to assimilate the fruit favors and
then carried upstairs to the fountain,
where it was Immediately used.
Objectionable Conditions.
In several places containing soda foun-
tains garbage cans without tops were
found and rooms where the sirups were
manufactured were Uttered with refuse.
The facilities for washing and cleansing
at the fountains were in fairly good
condition, and will. 1t is conceded, be de-
cidedly bettered by reasons of suggestions
on the part of the health department
In two places a peremptory order was
issued by Inspector Gallagher to clean up
particular parts of the stores. Assurances
We're given that the orders will be carried
out at an early moment.
In one establishment there was a hur-
ffed consultation among the clerks when
it was learned that the place was about
to be officially investigated. Attaches OF
the place held the attention of the visitors
for minute while another lodged down
the cellar steps. When he returned
the inspector was invited to go ahead
with his examination. He found every
thing in creditable condition about the
fountain and the ice cream and sirup
tanks Upon entering the cellar, where
the sirup manufacturing room was locat-
ed, neatly piled boards, pasteboard boxes
and barrels could be seen on all sides,
and the floor had been swept clean as q;
polished table, and everything was neatly
Whitewashed with the exception of the
rear portion of the cellar
The place was pronounced to be satis-
factory. AS the inspector was about to
ascend the cellar stairway two husky coll
ored men, one with a whitewash brush
and the other with a broom and bucket,
were discovered off in an area wondering
what the trouble was. The clerks smiling
ly invited the visitors to have a soda The
invitation was declined
The inspection was thorough The in
Spector was regarded as exceptionally
we'll equipped for the work from the fact
that before entering the service of the
business for several years. and in conse-
quence is familiar with every detail of the
manufacture and sale of soda water and
other fountain drinks.
1t is probable that the investigation
started yesterday afternoon will be con-
tinued next week and thorough inspec-
ton made of all soda fount aims in the city
at as early date as possible.
