1 4 Se ——a— aH _MERRYMUKERS SEE Slaves, Toys and A YOUNG WIFE KILLED BY AN ELEVATOR Returning From Dance, They Tried to Run Machine as Boy Slept. TRAGEDY STIRS TENANTS Husband of Victim and Friends Stricken by Ordeal Being Cared For by Doctor. One of a merry party going to the home of friends for “one last dance,” Mire. Grace Davis of No. 296 Sterling Pisce, Brooklyn, wife of Everly Davia, a lawyer, tried to spring trom the elevator in the Kathmere Apart- ments, No. 601 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street, at 12.30 o'clock this morning and was killed by the moving car. Her husband, Mr. and Mra. W. D. Noe, who live in the Kathmere and were hosts of the party, and Mr. and Mrs, Frederick Stevers of No. 265 ‘West Ninety-cighth Street, were in the elevator and witnessed the fatal accident, Mr. Davis, Mrs. Noe and Mrs. Stovers are all under the care of phy- sicians to-day. Friends took Mr. Davis to his home in Brooklyn after Coroner Healy had given permission for the removal of Mrs. Davis's body to an undertaker’s, The party dined at the Noes’. Mr. Noe fs known as “Dr.” in the Kath- mere, but he is in the real estate business. Mr. Stevers is a lumber dealer. After dinner in the Noe apart- ment, on the fifth floor, the three couples went to a dancing hall at Broadway and One Hundred and Thirty-ffth Street and remained there until a few minutes after mid- night. Returning to the Kathmere they found Anastad Ricks, the night ele- vator operator, asleep in a chair. Without calling him all six persons got into the elevator and one of the meon—Coroner Healy has not learned which one—turned the iever of the electric car. The lever was turned the wrong way and the car began to descend to the basement, The door ‘was still open, With a cry, half laughter and haif fright, Mrs. Davis tried to leap from the car. Bhe stumbled and the top of the elevator door frame came down on her head, which lay on the hall floor @ few inohes outside the car, She was almost beheaded, Mrs, Noe and Mrs. Stevers screamed and in an instant the halls of the building were filled with men and women, many in bathrobes over their night clothes. Ricks, the elevator Doy, according to the Coroner, slept through the uproar. Tenants assisted the mon in the car in getting the elevator back to the level of the first floor, and Mra, Davis's body was wrapped in sheets provided by @ tenant. Dr. Kilcourse, who was summoned from Knicker- bocker Hospital, said Mrs. Davis had been instantly killed, Policeman Wrineck of the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Street Station notified Coroner Healy, who made a brief investigation and said he was satisfied Mrs, Davis's death was an accident. Mrs, Noe and Mrs, Stevers were as- sisted by women tenants to the Noe apartment and physicians were called | to affend them, Mr. Davis collapsed immediately after the accident, Mrs. Davia was thirty-one years old and a strikingly handsome bru- nette, Mr, Davis is in the law busi- ness at No, 60 Wall Street. 1,000 Beggars Arrested in Months, Polite Commissioner Woods to-day published the report of Lieut, Mc- Auliffe, im charge of the Mendicant Squad of eleven men.

It seems to me as absurd to argue about the suffrage question as it would be to get up and talk to a lot of union workers on the uty of labor to organize. TO MAKE LAWS WOMEN MUS’ BE BETTER EDUCATED. “But assuming once for all that women have the right to the vote, the question remains, ‘Are they going to vee it for foolish legislation, one of our worst dangers?’ And the answer {s that if they are going to improve on men's handling of the ballot they must be better educated than men and bet- ter educated than they are now.” Mr, London got up, walked across the room with his hands clasped be- hind his back and eyed me hait- defiantly from this new vantage point.

When I talked with hood than is felt by many of the men who chirp most chivalrously about it. “First of all, I want it perfectly clear that I am a Suffragiat,” began Mr. London, bringing the four closely grouped finger tips of his right hand lived among women, whom I consider my equals in every » ees question, much nicer to tell the exact truth and then hear the inquirer say, “I never would have thought !t; you look so much younger.” An inqi & grain of tact never forgets this little by to talk r.

She prob- ably has never supported hereelf, and thus learned the worth of money, and she has never been trusted with money enough to teach her careful expenditure.” Nor does Mr. London think that the woman who powders her nose every ten seconds will be a valuable addi- tion to the electorate. “It's curious, this working of the law of natural seleotion,” he observed, locking his fingers together and sud- denly dropping his chin on them, then starting off on @ restless walk around the room, “The peasant chooses. for his wife a girl who i buxom, who wil a burden.

The two chauffeurs, Henry Moriarty and Joseph Conklin, were there too, but Magistrate Barlow postponed the case ‘until to-morrow so that the attorney for the People’s Five Cent Bus Cor- poration, Alfred J.
