URGE WOMAN SUFFRAGE
AS INDIVIDUALS


The Chicago Federation of La
Dor, at its meeting yesterday, de-
clined to circulate, as a body, a
petition asking for woman suf-
frage, but agreed, as individuals,
to give the proposition all the inn
petus possible.
''To indorse woman suffrage at
this date would be ridiculous,
said President Fitzpatrick of the
federation"
Cooperation of the federation
was asked in. gaining signatures
for petition for an amendment
to the constitution, permitting
women to vote. Representative
Victir Berger, of Milwaukee, is
expected to introduce the resolu-
ton in congress.
The federation to help in pro-
curing passage of an amendment
to the city ordinance dealing
with the size of milk bottles.
Under the present law one COM
pany is given the monopoly of
the sale of milk bottles in Chi
cago,. because it controls the
patent under which they are
made.

PROBE
W0MAN's DEATH
Circumstances in Case of Mrs. Hillen,
Who Loses Life in Flame,
Arouse Suspicion.

Coroner Rothacher and the police
are investigating the death OF Mrs.
Sarah Hillen, No. q Twenty-second-
ST., burned to death in a fire that de.
stroyed her home, Saturday night.
While nothing has been discovered
yet that would lead to suspicion of
foul play, there are some matters In
connection with the fire that bear
investigation.
When the coroner and Detective
William Good made an examination of
the premises, Monday morning, they
found $2.2S In change on the pantry
floor, the room in which the charred
body of the woman was found. Pieces
Of a silver-plated pocketbook also
were discovered. A charred bill, all
folded up, was also found. The de-
nomination of the bill could not be
determined and IL will be taken 10 a
bank, Tuesday.
It Is thought that the woman had
placed her money on one Of the pam
try shelves. The shelves all collapsed
during the fire and 1t is likely that the
money rolled off the shelf to the floor.
Portions of a broken dish were also
scattered about the floor.
Mrs. Millen's dog was still in the
house when the police arrived. The
woman recently had drawn 500 from
the bank. Most of this had been ex-
pended in making improvements
about the place. Detective Good says
in his opinion there Is nothing to In.
dictate there has been any foul play.
