DEATH IN "HoUSE OF DEATH"
A mother and two babies were
burned to death as they helt in
prayer in their home at 1859 Went
worth avenue early today. The hus-
band and brother of the woman were
so badly burned that there is little
hope they will live.
The house at 1859 Wentworth, has
been known for years throughout the
Italian quarter as 'sThe House of
Death" A dozen persons have been
violently slain in it In the last ten
years.
And 'a'HThe House of Death" was de-
hberately fired this morning. The
woman and her children were muir
dered.
There are whispers through the
Italian quarter that the burning of
the house was the work of the Black
Hand.
And other whispers that it was in
some way connected with the muir
der of Rose Smith by her brother-in-
law, Joseph Smith, and the shooting
of Arthur Ficalara at $50 West TWEEN
ty-third street, less than block
away, within the last few days.
The dead are Mrs. Velie Cavalier,
and her two daughters, Jane, aged 5,
and May, Naged 8. The mother was
still in a kneeling position when
found. And her arms were about her
children.
Frank Pastella, the woman's hus-
band, was the first to hear the alarm
of fire. He called to his wife and chill
dren to escape, and dashed to the
floor above, where Joseph Cavalier,
his brother-in-law, lived.
PasteIla gave the alarm to CaYal-
Teri. Cavalier jumped from the win
dow. PasteIla tried to return to his
wife and children. Sheets OF flame
drove him back from the stairway he
had assembled so short time before,

cued him.
By that time, Pastella's legs were
horribly roasted. He was sent to the
Peoples hospital, to which Cavalieri
already had been taken.
The first floor of 1.-THE House of
Death" was occupied by V. Catanese
and his family of six. They all es-
capped by way of side window.
Ten years ago 'sThe House of
Death" was purchased by Jacob
Werner, who started a meat market
in it. His family was wiped out by
illness within a few months. He COM
mitted suicide by cutting his throat.
Fred Kuntz, an employee of Wer-
ner's, took over the meat market.
Kuntz's fiye-year-old daughter was
sealded, to death in picking vat
shortly afterwards.
One week later Kuntz was found
dead in bed, and the mystery of his
death never has been solved. h.
A man named Strauss moved into
the building. And was murdered
in it.
Shortly afterwards an Italian COM
mitted suicide under the front porch
of the place,
And this morning "The House Of
Death" burned to the ground within
half an hour. Mrs. Pastella and the
children never had chance.
Fire Attorney Joe Murray says
there is no question the house was
deliberately fired. He says torch
was used against a side wall. The
building was a frame one. Battalion
Chief Walter Powers agrees with
Murray.
People living near the house de-
clare they heard five shots fired
shortly before the alarm of fire was
given. One man told rambling
story of having seen mysterious
stranger fire five shots directly at
the building. -

WILSON SEEKS JOB

WASHINGTON, March 27-When
Federal statisticians finished figuring
today they discovered that just one
out OF every forty-seven men who vot-
ed for Woodrow Wilson for President
was candidate for a Federal posi-
ton. They also deduced the fact that
there will be an army of heartsick and
disappointed office-seekers numbering
upward of 121 900, for there are 1884
jobs to be filed and 1871 $50 patriots
who have signified their willingness
to aid the Government.
The question OF patronage is giving
President Wilson and members of his
Cabinet some uneasy hours. Every eff
fort is being made to spare the feel
ings of those who applications must
be turned down, while at the same
time the available and fit men for the
various places are being sought.
The task of singing out the proper
material without causing offense to
those whose ambitions necessarily
must be wrecked in the process has
proved difficult.

@BEAT WIVES TO KEEP EN-"
Chicago Doctor Declares Husband
Must Show He's Boss.

CHICAGO, March 21-Dr. William
F. Waugh, dean of Bennett Medical
College and chief surgeon of Jefferson
Park Hospital, has stirred up hor-
nets nest through his article printed
in the Alienist and NeurOlogist this
month wherein he urges wife beating
as a proper and wholesome discipline.
He writes:
When you find your mate take her;
she is expecting it.
when you have her, live -or her;
she demands it,
when she awakens your jealousy
beat her; she needs it,"
According to the physician, some
women require beating Through the
lack of it they escape from their hus-
bands control, and are incapable Of
controlling themselves. They find by
the absence of the beatings that their
husbands are not their masters.
Therefore. they seek other masters,
since their contempt for their hus-
bands has reached the limit
When things have come to this pass,
the doctor advises, the time has ar
rived for the husband to kill his wife.
The most devoted wives. states Or.
Waugh, ARE those who fear their
husbands. They plan day and night
to please them and to win their APP
probation"
IF death takes away the brutal
wife-beater," he says, his widow
erects an altar to his memory al
which she worships."
