Allen Smith . tTnltM Preae Staff Correspondent. NEW YORK, July 26. (UP) A New York woman, who, with 945,000 In the bank, spent her day In sorry poverty rather than touch her sav--lugs, was dead today because she un wittingly snatched up a crust of bread which already bad served a de spondent man as a means to end. bis life. There are, many women In New York like Lillian Rosenfleld. Women who Inhabit dirty cellar rooms, mis erly and mysterious In their every movement, venturing forth at night to beg pennies on the street, some of them even rifling garbage cans while their fat bank books are hidden somewhere in their lodgings. Most cf them are older than Lillian Rosen field. She was only 43. But this story properly begins with Henry Jelllnek. Poisons Bread Jelllnek wss 50, an automobile mechanic In business for himself. Of late business had been at a standstill with blm, and his health wm poor. It was yesterday morning that he de cided to kill himself. He went to an automat restaurant on upper Broadway a place where patrons serve themselves by Inserting nickels Into slots for the Items of food they desire. Jellluek carried a violent poison "Tvith him. He obtained bread and went to a balcony In the restaurant, where the bustle is not so great. Pouring the poison on the bread, he ate part of It, then walked stoically from the table to a washroom, know ing that he would be dead In a few minutes. Snatches Leavings Lillian Rosenfleld, Ill-dressed and Haggard, was hovering nearby waiting for soma customer to leavt his table without consuming all his food. 6ht spied the remainder of the bread, sat down at the tab la and wolfed It. As she rose to go, her morning a success, the agony struck her. 6h whim pered, fell to the floor and died an hour Jater in Knickerbocker hospital. Jelhoek already was dead la the washroom. v Police and the medical examiner wer deeply purxled at first. They found the same poison In each of the stomachs. On learning that the ec centric woman held all men In con tempt, they reached the conclusion today that her death had been acci dental. whUe Jelllnek had killed him self Intentionally. The bank books, showing Lillian Rosenfleld to have been a wealthy woman, wera found In the cellar room she occupied. There she slept on a rickety bed that bad no mat tress and that stood behind a window blocked by cardboard boxes. Oregon Facts TALENT FARMERS KILL TRUCK LAW SALEM. Ore., July 28.

World War Still Writes Headlines in Newspapers By Raymond Crowley. i NEW YORK. July 38. (AP) Nine teen yeara ago today certain officials dipped their pens In Ink and wrote the headlines for today's newspapers. The Ink, flowing In tiny stream on parchment, gushed to a mighty tor rent on the front pages of the world heralding the outbreak of the world war. The headlines, black as woe. told of Austria-Hungary declaring war on Siberia on July 28, 1914, of Russia or dering a mobilization the next day; then of the others Jumping In. Today that ink 'still splashes on psge one. A count shows that of all the headlines on front pages of New York morning dallies today 70 per cent deal with subjects which have I been traced directly or Indirectly, In whole or In part, by one savant or another back to the world war. "Chicago Indicts Al Capons and 38 in War on Rackets" how many times hss the world been told that the war bred lawlessness, which fostered rackets? "Gov. Lehman Acts to Put State Behind NRA Drive" how many men have pointed to the world war as the cause of the severity of the depres sion? "Spain to Recognize Soviet Russia." Tlie traces of war Ink hadn't trickled from his pen to parchment 10 years ugo? 'Kidnaper Doomed to Death." Is that, too, as some would contend, a result of war-spawned crime? "O'Ryan Is Chosen by Fualon Group to Run for Mayor." That's MaJ. Gen. John P. O'Ryan of the 37th division. which helped smash the Hlndenburg line. World Economic Parley Fhda." Would it ever have had to begin, ex cept for the world war? Some soy that, though the fighting hits ceased, the world war still goes on. Certainly the mailed fist la still penning headlines, not only on page one, but right through to the finan cial section. Not all of them, though. One head line today says: "Vast Continent Sank Below Sea Eons Ago." It sank, yet life went on. Perhaps a philosopher could draw a lesson from that. Goss Appeals On Salem Conviction. SALEM.
