SOLVE WEIRD
DEATH OF TWO
IN RESTAURANT
Eccentric Woman ReCIuSe
GulpS Poisoned Crust
Used by Suicide.
BY III. ALLEN SMITH
United Press Stan Correspondent

NEW YORK. July pa New
York woman. who. with s45 900 in
the bank, spent her DAYS in sorry
poverty rather than touch her saw
ings was dead today because she
unwittingly snatched up a crust OF
bread, which already had served a
respondent man as a means TO end
his life.
There are many women in New
York like Lillian RoSenfield: women
who iihabit dirty cellar rooms. mis-
erly and mysterious in their every
movement
They venture forth at night to
beg pennies on the street. some OF
them even rifling garbage cans,
while their fat bank books are hid
den somewhere in their lodgings.
Most of them are Older than Lii
Ian Rosenfield. She was only 43.
But this story properly begins
with Henry Jellinek.
Puts Poison on Bread
Jellinek was So an automobile
mechanic in business for himself.
OF late, business had been at a
standStill with him. and his health
was poor. He decided to kill him
self.
He went to an automat restaurant
on upper Broadway place where
patrons serve themselves by in
serting nickels into slots for the
items of food they desire.
Jellinek carried a violent poison
with him.
He obtained bread and went TO a
balcony in the restaurant. where
the hustle is not So great, pouring
the poison on the bread.
He ate part of it. then walked
stoically from the table to wash
room, knowing that he would be
dead in q few minutes.
Snatches Up Crust
Lillian Rosenfield. addressed and
haggard, was lowering nearby wait
ing for some customer 70 leave his
table without consuming all his
food. She spied the remainder Of
the bread. sat down at the table
and wolfed it.
As she rose to go. the agony
struck her. She whimpered. fell to
the floor, and died an hour later in
Knickerbocker hospital Jellinek
already was dead in the washroom
Police and the medical examiner
were deeply puzzled at first. They
found the same poison in each Of
the stomachs.
On learning that the eccentric
woman held all men in contempt.
they reached the conclusion that
her death had been accidenal, while
Jellinek had killed himself inten-
tionally.
The bankbooks. showing Lillian
Rosenfield TO have been a wealthy
woman, were found in the cellar
room she occupied. There she slept
on rickety bed that had no mat
tress and that stood behind a win
dow blocked by cardboard boxes.

In tossing a line over the side,

IF you're fishing for carp and

go below, but if you're hunting

of one Ike Walton.
The General might have given
that advice.

when playing the constructive one

Remember that partner has made
an original bid which shows a good
hand Your great difficulty with
that hand Is that II also may be 4

clubs and spades
BY jumping YOU tell partner that
there Is a possibility Of the hands
fitting and getting into slam. and
you certainly have no assurance or
this pattern Of fit.
After the two diamond bid. South

Fishermen along Big Sugars

more consideration relative to wages
for the laboring women and young
girls of today.
I realize the majority of businesses
have been reduced; naturally requir-
ing a reduction in the employment of
labor to carry them on. However, l
do not believe the same is as low as
the prices given for such labor; know
ing there is a greater demand for la
Dor by employees, than there is bust
ness for the employer.
If the wages Of this group could be
raised or kept at a standard price in
proportion to their services and liv-
ing expenses, it would help our young
girls and women in many ways, who
are compelled to seek employment in
order to help carry on their existence
If this were true, we should have
more Independent females among all
classes, and none would have to sub
nit themselves to deduction as many
are forced to do in order to help OBJ
tain the proper requirements for a

House bill, roll 162, the redistrict-
ing of Lancaster and Douglas Coun-
ties, backed by Rep. John Owen Cd
of Douglas vas pasesd by a majority
of 1877. This was a diplomatic piece
of work done by Owen. This bill as
sures that Negroes will always have
a representative in the Legislature to
take care of our interest. This bill
was strictly opposed by Jake Crounse
of Douglas and others who were pros
pective Of riding into the Legislature
in Negro districts under the old dis
trict form.
John Owen has made us a real rep
resentative and holds the combined
respect Of both houses. He has been
uncompromiSing and has exercised a
will Of his own. When this Legislature
is over no one vii make us believe,
who know him and his work, that he
was used as a rubber stamp by any
one during this Legislative period.
I did not vote for Owen, but I be-
lieve in giving credit to men Of our
a whose records become a credit to
the race.
We perhaps will be able to give
you the closing details next week. At
