BURN IN DEATH HOUSE.
Chicago Landmark Maintains SIMS
ter Reputation at Last

Chicago, March 20-The tragic ex-
.perience of the blouse of Death" at
No. 1859 Wentworth Avenue, closed
early yesterday morning with its
burning by an incendiary fire, III
which three lives were lost.
Frank Pustella and his brother-in-
law, Joseph Covalieri, escaped with
severe burns by leaping from a Sec
ond story window, but Mrs. Pustella,
and her daughters, 8 and 5 years old,
persisted in the flames.
The house gained its name in the
neighborhood because of the fatalities
which have occurred there within ten
years. A decade ago Jacob Werner
opened a meat market in the place.
Soon after his entire family died,and
Werner committed suicide. Werner's
clerk, Fred Kunz, took the market,
but soon after his little daughter was
.scalded to death in picking vat, and
a week after the accident Kunz was
found dead under mysterious circum-
stances. The next tenant was man
named Straus, who was murdered
in the house A few weeks later an un-
identified Italian crawled under the
porch of the place and committed
suicide.

Lansing. Mich.-Under the leader.
ship Of Mrs. Clara B. Arthur, presi.
dent OF the Equal Suffrage association
of Michigan, the suffragists of this
state have entered upon a short but
snappy campaign to win the ballot
The election at which the suffrage
amendment will he voted upon will
be held on April s..
Michigan was one of the states
which voted or the suffrage question
last November. The amendment was
lost by a few" hundred votes. The
s~iftragists declared however, that in
certain precincts gross fraud was per-
petrated by enemies of the amend
ment, and that had the votes been
fairly counted they would have won:
This view was shared by Governor
Osborn.
The state legislature evidently be-
lieved that there was something in
the fraud charges. for without serious
opposition it voted to resubmit the
amendment.
The suffragists fear that their
chances Of winning this spring are
less favorable than they were last
pollcd heavily in the farming dis;
tricts. Owing to bad roads and
weather conditions. Michigan farm
ers do not generally pole a heavy
vote at spring elections.
The suffragists declare that tn:
saloons and, brewing. interests have
raised a large fund to defeat the
amendment next month. -
