Two Bullet?ou&is_in Body of Woman Found Dead New York, Nov. 9.-—The discovery of two bullet wounds in the body of Mrs. Sarah M. Stiassny, widow, who was found dead on Wed- nesday in her apartment at 215 West Ninety-eighth street, with a bullet wound in er right temple which the police decided had Dbeen self-in- flicted, caused the district attorney to start an investigation yesterday to de- termine whether she had been mur- dered. A revolver lay clese to the woman's Land and on a table was a note suggesting suicide which appar- ently was signed by Mrs. Stiassny, but District Attorney Swann was not con- vinced last night that one person was the author of the entire text of the nate. The note read: “My dear Richard: I cannot stand this any longer; no sleep, and I feel as if I were going insene. Funeral private. God bless you for what you have done for me. Lovingly, S. M. Stiassny."” The ‘“‘dear Richard” referred to in the note, Mr. Swann said, is Isaac Epstein, a cousin of Mrs. Stiassny, | who made his home in the same apartment. Epstein told Assistant District Attorney John Fitzpatrick and a detective that he was in an adjoin- ing room, but had not heard shots Ipstein managed the estate of Mrs. Stlassny which included ten pieces of realty left by her father, Simon Ep- stein. Mrs. Zerman Lubetkin, also a cousin of Mrs. Stiassny and wife of an attorney at 730 Riverside Drive, asked Coroner Hellenstein yesterday ta in- vestigate the death .0f her relative. The coroner notified the district at- torney’s office. When the official phy- sician, Dr. Otto H. Schultze, notified the district attorney that he had found a second wound near the heart, Mr. Swann ordered an autopsy today. Assistant District Attorney Fitzpat- rick said the revelver found in the room had contaimed two cartridges, only one of which had been fired. In comparing the alleged suicide note with other letters and several can- celed checks drawn by Mrs. Stiassny on the State bank, the district attor- ney believed he had feund a difference a that Is supposed to have been written by Mrs. Stiassny to Epstein. Mrs. Lubetkin said last night that she would not assert that her cousin had been murdered, but that she was not satisfled with the suicide theory. Mrs. Stiassny leaves an estate esti- mated at $250,000. Mrs. Hirshfield declared that Mrs. Stiassny had wor- ried herself ill by fear of losing the services of Epstein in the manage- ment of the estate, due to the selective | military draft. SUFFRAGIST FED AFTER GREAT FAST | Alice Paul Gives Hersell a Feed After Seventy-eight Hours Washington, Nov. 9.—After refus- ing to eat for seventy-eight hours, Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Na- tional Woman’s Party, who is serving a seven months’ sentence for picket- ing the White House, wag forcibly fed at the Asylum Hospital vyesterday. This bare announcement was given to the friends of Miss Paul by the hospital authorities, who said that the weak suffragist leader was ’greatly exhausted afterward. The decision to prevent Miss Paul Tfrom starving by forcibly administer- | ing food was reached by Dr. J. A. i Gannon, chief resident physician at the hospital, after consultation with four other 1Washington physicians. i . - Linonine is 100% . 3 .

Doctor Gannon announced early in the afternoon that unless Miss Paul | partook of food she would die, and | indicated that she would be forcibly fed if necessary. Miss Paul was confined to the Dis- trict Prison, but upon refusing to eat was removed to the Asvium Hospital for observation. This is the second time she has undergone this ordeal, having been among the suffragists who were forcibly fed in a London | prison several years ago. Miss Helen Paul came to Washing- ton from Moorestown, N. J., vesterday to remain as close to her sister as the Jjail authorities permit. Al of yes- terday she was at the hospital, but| she left in the evening without having ! seen the patient. MIE Harvey Wiley, wife of the for- mer €hicf of the Bureau of Chemistry, and Mrs. Willlam Kent, wife of Tarift Commissioner Kent, called upon Su- perintendent Zinkham yesterday and iaid before him the demands for witlch Miss Paul is striking. These demands are that Miss Paul and the six other suffrage prisoners be given the right to buy food in the prison. At present they are denied that priv- ilege, although other prisoners enjoy it, to the extent that women are per- mitted to buy cakes and men are per- mitted to buy tobacco. The suffra- | gists want to extend the privilege so that tirey may buy milk and eggs. Mise Helen Paul, discussing her sis- ter's condition, said: 1 told Mr. Zinkham that he would kill my sister if her forcibly fed her. She has never been able to tell me about her experience in England, it was so horrible, and I know she can- not go through with it again. How can such a brutal thing be thought of when all she is asking is decent treatment for others imprisoned with her? “What has she done that she should be treated like a criminal and not | even as well, for they are permitted exercise and visitors and can buy £f00d at the jail canteen. She has given her life to working for suffrage fo1 women. I know she has bitterly op- posed the Democratic party, but 1 cannot believe that the president o1 the men he has appointed will delib. erately risk her life in this way.” Demand the Original Package Genuine Aspirin is sold as follows: TABLETS in Pocket Boxes of 12 Bottles of 24 and 100 CAPSULES in Sealed Packages of 12 and 24 Lvery package and every tablet bears “The Bayer Cross— The tradc-mark **Aspirin’ (Reg.
