who was patroman when his brother

The Latin Countries
Women Will Form Campaign,
Plans at Geneva Conven-
ton in Nav

The chief battle-ground Of suffrage
activities for the future will be tho
Latin countries Of Europe and South

thought the fight for universal woman
suffrage was won, have given up all
thought Of disseminating the Interns-
tional Woman Suffrage Alliance, and
will 60 to Geneva for the convention in
May, prepared to carry their campaign
into the Latin countries.
1t was the hostility Of the anti-suf-
frage Clerical officials in Spain, in pre-
venting the holding Of the interna-
tional convention in Madrid, which
made the American women realize the
great distance women Of Spain have
yet to 60 before they reach political
freedom.
Miss Crystal Mcmillan, recording
secretary Of the International Woman
Suffrage Alliance, has reported to Mrs.
Carrie Chapman Gait, president of the
alliance, that the Archbishop Of Madrid
revoked the permission given the SUI
fragists for the use Of the Royal The

possible to hold the convention there.

Four Children Die
In Flames; Fire
Chief Is Injured
Three Burned to Death i'm
Brooklyn Home After Pa
rents Go to Work; Child,
3. Perishes While at Play

Four children we're burned to death
in Brooklyn yesterday. Three of them,
Joseph Mayer, five; Benjamin, three,
and Josephine, one, perished when
their home at Old South Road and Cen
terville Avenue, Union Course, Queens
was destroyed by fire.
The fourth, Walter Johnson, three,
ignited his clothes from an oil stove
while playing about room of his
home, 2072 West Eleventh Street.
The Mayer home, one-story frame
building, was shared with Mr.. and Mrs.
Antonio Mewthek, who also have three
children. They were carried to safety
by Albert Boss and Charles Hawxhurst,
neighbors, who discovered the fire.
Perished in Rescue Effort
Joseph Mayer died, the firemen who
found the bodies say. trying to carry
his baby brother and sister to safety
The little boys body lay, face down, on
the floor, his hands still gripping
Jeaephine's nightgowns. Apparently he
had been trying to drag them from
their beds when the smoke or fire over
came him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayer had risen early
to attend to their farm work. So had
the Mewtheks. The Mayer baby, two
weeks old. had been carried to the cow
barn, some distance away. by the
mother, and thus it's life was saved.
When Boss and Hawxhurst discov-
cred the fire it was spouting through
several windows of the house. They
rushed into the building, but we're un-
able to get to the room in which the
Mager children lay because of a wall
Of fire that filled the hall. They man
aged to carry the three Mewthek
dren were stupefied by the smoke.
Battalion Chief Injured
Falling fifteen feet inside burning
building when a wall suddenly COL
lapsed, and being pinoned under
bricks and other debris, Charles H.
Furey, Brooklyn battalion chief, was
rescued by Chief O'Hara and squad
of volunteers while fire at the Liber-
mann Bros. shoes factor. 1924 Licking
ton Avenue, Brooklyn, was at it's height
possible internal injuries and was
taken to his home.
Furey was directing about flfty fire
men when, without warning. the wall
in front of them suddenly disinte-
grated and showered down bricks and
iron work. Furey was catapulted from
low rooted building into The burning
factory, but the other tiremen were
able to dash to safety and were not
injured. The factory was destroyed
with loss estimated at $4,000.
