about her case since.
But that was forty-two days
ago!
And last Sunday, Mrs. Ache
tel had to be taken to the Pres
byterian hospital once more. Her
husband was afraid she would die
if she were not constantly under
the care of physicians and nurses.
And the Aichetel family has
heard nothing except that one
threat about talking too much
from Siegel, Cooper & Co. And
the day she was removed from the
Presbyterian hospital the first
time because her husband was
afraid she was going to die, and
if she had to die he wanted-her to
be in her own home.
1t is sixty-three days since that
day of horror when the crowded
freight elevator crashed down
into the pit at the Siegel, Cooper

1t is sixty-three days since the
ambulances clattered into the
Siegel-Cooper alley and the vic
Tins were carried out of the store
mid the screams of horror

Since that day, Mrs. Aichetel
never has left her bed, save to be
taken to the hospital or from the

Her condition now is very. Sc

NEGRO KILLED IN
ELEVATOR SHAT 7
TOP OF HEAD CRUSHED BY
COUNTERWTIGHT WHEN CAR
IN MURPHY'S ASCENDS.

Edward Shelton. colored, aged about
twenty eight -Yearsr-Nhase-h ~ -
at St James and Leigh streets, was
killed at the bottom of an elevator
shaft in the annex Of Murphys hotel
about $50 o'clock last night when the
top of hts head was literally crushed
off between the counterweieht of an
elevator and its abuttment.
Refusal OF the elevator, which was
going up, TO run further toward the
top landing led to the discovery of the
negro's death. The elevator would
descend all right, and the operator
carried ii down To the first floor.
Leaving the car he reported the
trouble and led the investigation into
the bottom of the shaft for examina-
ton Of the operating machinery.
The lifeless body OF Shelton, his
head crushed by the counterweight,
was found at the bottom of the shaft
Coroner Taylor was summoned and
after he viewed the body and made
inquiry. he decided inquest unneces-
saary, and permitted removal of the
body
Investigation showed the victim,
probably proving about the basement
of the hotel annex. opened the doors
and walked into the elevator pit. How
or why he put his head in such posi-
ton that it could he caught by the
weight descending. as the elevator as
cended, may never be known. The
suicide theory was one OF those adj
vanced shortly after the occurrence,
but il was virtually abandoned for
the reason death in such form should
be too horrible to contemplate. even
by one seeking self destruction.

that he did not realize the dsnger of

Bristow Break Silence.

WASHINGTON. Nov "A long
silence in the senate on the Mexican
situation was broken today when
Senator Bristow submitted a letter he
had received on conditions in Mexico.
and had 1t read in the senate The
writer's urged the United States to
keep hands off and permit the be-
ligerents in Mexico to settle their
troubles.
Senator Bacon, chairman of the
foreign relations committee was on
his feet promptly with assurances
that the policy OF the administration
in dealing with Mexico would meet
the approval OF the American con-
gress. and the American people"
Senator Bacon conferred with tho
president this morning on the Mexican
situation. The Bristow letter had
condemned the present neutrality
policy being pursued by the admins
tration, and particularly the keeping
OF soldiers on the Mexican border.
The writer said intervention by the
military Of the United States would
mean the conquest and annexation Of
Mexico with great loss. of life and
money to the United States.
Il think ] can assure the senate"
said Senator Bacon. that nothing Is
further from the thoughts OF the
people of this country, or OF the adj
ministration officers than the conquest
OF Mexico, or acquisition Of her terri
tory"
In submitting the letter from "a
friend of thirty years standing
Senator Bristow said:
No Right to Interfere.
Mexico has the right to settle this
question without interference from
us. or any other nation. 1t can only
be settled by the arbitrament of arms
We have not been charged with re-
sponsibility for governing the Mexican
nation and we have no right to inter-
fere In that controversy. except we
treat both elements with due and
proper consideration, In my humble
opinion that ought to be done with
out inviting any European nation to
come and interfere. or aid us in any
way. to impose our will on the will
OF that independent people"
In the letter read by Senator Bris-
tow, the writer tells of having re-
turned from the interior OF Mexico,
and voices his alarm at talk OF inter-
vention by the United States.
