DEATH FLAT TENANTS BLAME
GAS COMPANY FOR TRAGEDY

Tenants of the death flats" of W.
18th place are going after the Peo-
pies Gas Light & Coke Co. for their
own revenge. They are not waiting
for any city officials to soak the pow
erfUI concern. They are going to
sue, to touch the gas company on its
tenderest spot, its purse.
Mrs. Anna LehOtsky, who lived on
the third floor of the gas-blasted
tenement building at 14th pI. and
NewbeTy av., filed suit yesterday
for 81, 900. Her action will be the sig
nal for the placing of almost a hun
dred damage suits against the gas
company seeking to blame that cor
pOration for the deaths and losses
suffered when the fiat building blew
up on the coolest day of the'winter.
Her attorney, Charles Spencer Of
the firm of c. c. Spencer and A. A.
House says he has exactly sixty other
suits for amounts ranging from
$1,000 to. $4,000. He says that
whether the city council or the coro-
neT officially lay the blame for the
Nl0elOLC4 vi InC 5a0 COL4lp dI1y VI uOIy
the people who lived in the building
and suffered loss Of relatives or prop
erty are going to put up a fight to
soak the firm.
Eve have absolute proof that the
gas company was negligent and that
the leak which finally caused the hor-
rible tragedy was weeks Ole, =" decIar-
ed Spencer today. Eve are going to
assess the gas company at a sum
ranging near 100000 for the pov-
erty-stricken families who lost every
thing they owned in the fire.
Past experience showed these un-
fortunate people that they can never
expect the city to act for them in
this matter Investigations come
and Investigations go, but the condi-
lions of neglect continue forever, it !

The case Of Anna rLehOtsky is typ
ical. Her husband works nights. On
the evening Of the tragedy he went
down into the basement to cut wood
to last over night. The gas was so
strong he couldn't breathe and he
had to quit chopping and left it for
his boys to do in the kitchen of their
fat
81 smelIed gas all evening and a
neighbor came in and spoke about it.
The fumes were so strong that got
very bad headache, and when I
went to bed at midnight I couldn't
Sleep" Mrs. LehOtsky says.
''The gas blew up at about 1 a. m.
The explosion threw US out of our
beds and l rushed in and lead my
children, five of them, out on the
back porch.
'The moment we stepped on it the
porch sagged and crashed to the
ground with US all on it. The next
thing l remember I was in a hospital
and so were my children. We were
all hurt and everything we owned
was ruined.
When my husband got back from
work and found us we gathered to-
gether the next morning, without a
cent of money, with only part of our
clothes and without a friend in the
city. But we were thankful to get
out of the gas-flled trap alive"

LABOR's DUTY TOLD
President Wilson Addresses American
Federation of Labor and Appeals
for Unity in All War Work.

Buffalo, N. President Wilson in
a forceful address here Monday before
the American Federation of Labor ap-
pealing to the working men of the
United States for cooperation in the
conduct of the war made it clear that
he opposes peace until the war against
Germany has been won.
The President declared that his
heart was with "the feeling of the
paciiists," but that my mind has a
contempt for them"
81 want peace but know how to
get it and they do not, " he declared.
Colonel Il. NJ. House head of the
American delegation TO the allied war
conference, the President said, had
been sent to take part in conference
AS 10 how the war was to be won,
"and he knows, as know, that that is
the way to get peace If you want it
for more than few minutes.
The $50 delegates to the convention
and the several thousand persons adj
mitted to the hall to hear the Presi-
dent speak arose and applauded this
declaration with tremendous burst Of
cheers. Another demonstration of APP
roval came when he said: 1--WE must
stand together, night and day, until
this job is finished"
The President, while devoting his
address to problems for the people of
the United States, laid emphasis upon
the broader phases of the worlds con-
flict in way that seemed that his
speech was possibly intended as a mes
sage to the people of Germany, of Aus
tria and Of Russia, as well as of the
United States. He declared his belief
that were it not for the Pan-Germans
the spirit of freedom would find "as
fine a welcome in the hearts of the
Germans as it can find in any other
heart"
The President directly asserted that
Germany had started the war and said
he would leave confirmation of this
statement to the verdict of history.
He referred to Germany's growth to a
"place in the sun" and asked why she
was not satisfied when she gained that
position.

QUEEN LILlU0KALANI is DEAD
Last Hawaiian Sovereign succumbs
After Long Illness.

Honolulu, T. H.-Queen Liliuoka-
lani, of Hawaii, whose death had been
expected for several days, passed away
Sunday morning, after long illness.
In recent weeks Queen Lilioukalani
had shown striking patriotism for the
United States. She subscribed liber-
ally for the Red Cross fund ard the
Liberty Loan. When news first came
that state of war had been declared,
she hoisted the Stars and Stripes over
her residence in Washington Place, ad-
vising her former subjects to support
the government of the United States
to the fullest.
With the death of Queen Liloukalani
has passed the last vestige of royalty
in the Hawaiian Islands. The eighth
and last monarch to hold sway over the
entire insular group, she reigned for
only two years and that brief flicker
of sovereignty was extinguished more
than 20 years ago in revolution
which led to the annexation of the is
lands to the United States. But not
withstanding her effacement from pub
lie affairs, Queen Liliuokalani never
abandoned her regal pose nor lost the
affection of her former subjects, and
continued to her death most interest
ing personality.

FORCE BREAD PRICES DOWN
Size and Contents of Loayes VIII Be
Standardized After Dec. 10.

Washington, d. C.-Defnite steps
to standardize bread and lower its
price were taken Monday, when Presi-
dent Wilson issued a proclamation
placing all bakeries under government
license December 10 and subjecting
them to food administration rules pre-
scribing ingredients and weights Of
loaves. Prices will not be fixed, but
with the standardization it is expected
that competition and simplifcation of
distribution will force down prices for
pound loaves to Z or 8 cents.
Fancy breads will be eliminated,
and the multitude of sizes now pro-
duced will be reduced to four with
standard ingredients. The weights
will be one pound, one and one-half,
two and four pounds.
The loaves will have creases in the
middle to permit their sale in halves.
In baking only three pounds of sugar
will be allowed for barrel Of flour in
stead of an average Of six pounds now
used, and two pounds OF vegetable oil
shortening must be used instead of six
pounds of lard or oil. The food adj
ministration expects to save 100, 000.-
900 pounds of sugar and the same
amount of lard in this way. Bakers
may use only SKINNED milk for bread,
and rolls will be permitted only if
made in standard sizes, and of regula-
ton bread dough.
Through the cooperation of the
baking industry and also with the bak-
ing of the licensing system, Food Ad-
ministrator Hoover hopes to work re-
forms in the present methods of dis
tribution from wholesale bakeries to
retailers and from retailers to Gus
toners. He will urge grocers, for in
stance to buy regular quantities OF
bread, limiting their purchases to a
single bakery instead of buying from
four or FIVE, as at present, and to make
lower charges to customers who pay
cash and carry their goods home than
to those insisting on delivery ard cred
it.
On the cash-and-carry basis, he says,
bread can be sold at profit of one
cent pound loaf. In addition, an at
temps will be made to persuade whole
sale bakeries to sell their products d.
rect to customers who viii pay cash
and carry their purchases.

CARRY YouR PURCHASE BAGS
Leather Bags Taboo With Women
Patriotism Apron Knitting
Bag

Now that patriotic women IRE help
ing release men from delivery service
for war, designers are taboolng leather
of prohibltiye price and developing
some quite wonderful ideas in economy
bags. These are not us large as were
the knitting bags, but they are made
with the idea of convenience in car
rying packages. and have adjustable
Snaps so that much space is given to
the bag,
The bags do not carry out nny SOM
Der ideG or common thing which
might be termed shopping" bag, but
are fetching shapes, In bright or sub
dued colors.
a novel idea has been worked out
in knitting bags by adding TO one side
Of the bag an extended portion so cut
as to form an apron.
When one is working on wool II is
n simple matter to tie on the apron,
as the bag is also attached, and the
work is all in ones lap with no dam
ger Of falling to the floor The apron
portion folds into bag itself, and
such plan gives woman two neces-
sary articles for work, all III one piece
For wear other than shopping the
leather bag is fast giving place to the
velvet bags In fancy shapes with gay
Innings, and some of the velvets having
leather as trimmings.

PLAN FOR GOPHER TRAPPING
Most Effective "set" for Trap Is In
Main Runway---Twelve-inch Iron
Spoon is Useful.

The most effective "set" for the go.
pher trap is in the main runway, a,
and not IN the lateral run, B. that
leads to the surface mound. This ne.
cessitates the use Of two traps per
setting, one In each direction; but the
results are so much more certain and
quicker that the catch per trap per
day Is greater than where but one trap
is set In lateral run, where 1t Is
often filed full of dirt by the gopher
A common stiff-handled 12-inch iron
spoon Is of great assistance In finding
the main run, and in properly placing
the trap. This spoon had better be
supplemented by light, short-handled
shovel, for the man that is afraid to
dig Will never get rid of his gophers.

CARE IN FURNISHING ROOM
Hard to Realize How Much Color and
Detail One Bookcase VIII Give
Room.

Do not make the mistake Of over
furnishing 4 room that is to hold d
large number of books. It is hard to
realize how much color and detail just
one bookcase full Of books will give q
room, and If we intend having many
such cases in room 1t is well to let
them be the main point of interest and
color around which the other furnish
ings revolve
One beautifully proportIoned room
contained many lovely things, but the
effect was spoiled by too much de
tall.
In the first place the walls were
covered with a large patterned paper.
which would have looked very well In
some other kind Of a room, but which
was not the thing at all for this par
ticular one.
Then there were bookcases. They
were very lurge and covered almost
three sides Of the room. so you can
imagine how many books were In sight.
Their bindings made q soft glow Of
color on the walls, and that, with the
lovely rug, would have been almost
enough detail for that room.
1t would have been much more
beautiful and restful If the books
could have been seen against a plnin
neutral wall.

Boys Get Taste of Gas.

With the American Army in France
The American infantrymen in the
trenches and artillerists in the gunpits
have had their first real experience
with gas shells. The Germans have
let loose many during the past two

necessary. Shrapnel also has been
freely used by both sides. During a

were again turned on the American
trenches, the Americans replying.
