EXPLOSION At
BUFFALO FIRE
HURTS TWENTY
Firemen Knocked Down While
Fighting Flames in Busi-
ness District.

BUFFALO, April 2L-Fire early to-
day in the heart of Buffalo's business
district destroyed the flve-story building
of the Buffalo Glass Company, on East
Seneca street. with a loss of nearly
$3.50, 900.
The building contained large quanti-
ties of varnish, paint and similar ma
terials, which provided excellent food
for the flames and made the blaze
difficult one for the firemen. Shortly
after the fire started there were sew
eral violent explosions which blew out
windows and partitions. One of the
explosions knocked twenty firemen
down and badly injured several Of
them.
The dense black smoke from the
fire spread over the lower section of
the city asd caused r-panics in a
score of hotels and lodging houses.
Guests left their rooms in fright, sup
posing that the fire was at their doors,
and the police were kept busy reassur-
ing terrified residents. The smoke still
covered the city at daybreak. The fire
was under cor trfrl at 1 o'clock.

PUBLIC SERVICE
W|THDRAWS ITS
SUBWAY OFFER
City Officials Inactivity Given
as One Primary
Reason.

Declaring that the city authorities
have done nothing to bring about the
construction of a subway in this city,
and the Legislature has been equally
inactive in the matter. President
Thomas n. McCarter, of the Public
Service Corporation. in letter to Mayor
Haussling today. withdraws the sub
way proposition made to him four
months ago.
1t is a well known fact that the at
titude of the mayor and the Board or
Works has been in favor of subway
The mapor has been an advocate OF
this form of transportation and has
made it a point in several of his mes
sages. The legislative conference, too,
approved of the MCGOWAN subway bill
and did all they could to see the bill
pass. It went through the House but
did not pass the Senate.
The city cannot build subways with
out proper legislation, and, therefore, II
is not the fault of the mayor or the
Board of Works, say the city officials,
that nothing was done by the Legisla-
ture to provide for their construction.
Mayor Haussling believes that the
subway is the only solution to the
problem of congestion at the -Four
Corners" and points to the improved

Mrs. Susan Friel, Aged
So, Hangs Herself
from BaniSter.
SUICIDE OF TWO SONS
PREYED ON HER MIND
Waited Until Daughter Left
House, Then Accomplishes
Her Purpose. 81

Following the dictates Of suicidal
mania which had claimed as victims
her two sons within the past year,
Mrs. Susan Friel SO years old, waited
early today until she heard the front
door of the clearinghouse at Orange
place close behind her daughter. drew
from its hiding place the long strip OF
bed ticking she had prepared the night
before and hanged herself to the balus-
trade of the stairway leading to the
cellar
A year ago Morris Friel, the eldest
son. shot himself dead in his home
in Belleville. Three months ago
Thomas Friel. another son, was found
asphyxiated in Doyie's Hotel. on Broad
street, and the county physician de-
clared he had committed suicide.
Four Times Tries to End Life.
The tragic death of her two sons
preyed upon the woman's mind. Four
times within the past year she had
sought to take her life, and as many
times had the attempts been frus-
trated. Experience had taught her
cunning, and 1t was evident she had
planned this last and successful effort
TO die with the greatest care.
Half an hour after Mrs. Friel had
fastened one end of the ticking rope
securely to the banniEter and the other
about her neck, her body was found
by Mrs. Jennie Brown. a boarder in
the house.
Daughter Found I'm Saloon.
That Mrs. Friers daughter, Mrs.
/ Thomas Grilly whose absence frora
the house spelled gruesome opportunity
for her mother, was found by a police
man from the Second precinct in the
back room of saloon in the neighbor-
hood is fact which may help illuu.ine
this sordid story.
Mrs. Crilly, in tears, accused herself
| of neglect.
But I was only gone a half an
hour she sobbed. 1T had to come
some time. Mother had tried to kill
herself four times before. She tried it
in the hospital and they had to watch
her all the time. I did the best
could
With her mother Mrs. Crilly lived in
a back hall bedroom in the Orange
street boarding house. Their only
relatives are Margaret Friel, sister
in-law. who lives in Belleville. and
Patrick Friel, a brother. of Kenosha,
Wisconsin.
Other boarders in the house say that
the aged woman could be heard going
up and down the stairways and
! through the Railways muttering feebly
TO herself last night. 1t is believed
she was planning her death then and
merely waited until o'clock today for
the opportunity to present itself.

All Ages Eagerly Seek Problem
Pictures in Race for

FIND THAT PASTIME
PROVES ENHANCING
Proyerb No. | Was Easy, So
Everyone Says-Loek for
No. 2 Today.

Is 1t necessary to ask anyone to
look for the second picture which ap-
pears today in the Evening STARS
great $4,000 proverb contest? Probably
not, but little reminder should not
be out of the way at that.
One need not be an expert in the
matter of compiling figures to be able
to announce rough working estimate
Of the number of persons who yester-
day turned eagerly to the second page
of the STAR and studied the picture
through which the big contest was in
augurated. Thousands and thousands
of them of all ages did that very
thing-not through curiosity, but with
the firm intention of enlisting in the
ranks of those who are to compete for
the two automobiles, the two piano
players and the hundred and one other
prizes, which aggregate in value more
than $4,000.
Look Over Entire Field.
Yesterdays puzzle was an easy one,
you say. If your memory covers the
entire field of English proverbs as
thoroughly as that one spot, all Of the
pictures will be easy. If it does not
cover the field it must be stimulated
by little research and investigation.
If you were suddenly asked to name
all of the articles in your room at
home, some of them which stand out
prominently in your mind would be
easy ones for you to remember and
lots of the others would force your
memory to genuine and vigorous exer-
else.
That is just what this contest Is to
provide, healthfuL agreeable, mental
exercise. 1t is to be a well-furnished
gymnasium for all of the faculties. And
those in whom memory, judgment and
contemplation are strengthened and
combined to- The best advantage
through the contest will reap the re-
wards, which are many and rich.
Work Is CongeniaI.
We are told that the secret Of a
genuinely successful life is that Of con-
genial work. The man who has the
opportunity of working all his life at
what is really play for him lives the
successful life. And the successful con-
test is the one which pays for recre-
ation--worth while for itself alone
! just as though it was work.
The experimental stage for proverb
contests passed long since with the
! STAR. 1t is now foregone conclusion
! that this contest will be tremendously
successful in every way. 1t must be to
exceed the success of earlier contests,
but that is just what it now gives
every indication of doing.

Where Wesley Wrote Hymns.

The Rev. ]. H. Wicksteed, vicar OF
Bexley. Kent, England, has presented
to the Wesleyan Methodists of Graves
end and hartford circuit tree from
the vicarage garden, sapling of the
old oak under whose branches John
and Charles Wesley, with George
Whitefield, often met in friendly con-
ference.
1t is believed that Charles Wesley
composed some of his hymns under
its shadow, and John, in his diary OF
September %, 1740, writes: Il went
to Mr. Piers, the vicar of Bexley,
where in the mornings and evenings
I expounded the sermon on the mount
and had leisure during the rest OF the
day for business of other kinds" He
was there again Saturday, December
2, 1749, "and preached about H."
