MOTHER AND BABES BUHHEDJO DEATH Two Others Were Probably Fatally Burned in Chicago Apartment Fire. (National News Association) CHICAGO, March 19. Three persons, a woman and two of her children were killed and two others were probably fatally burned in a fire which destroyed a 2-story frame flat building at 2359 Wentworth avenue, today. The dead: Mrs. Mary Pussela, 30. Maggie Pussela, 3. Jane PuBsela, 4. The injured: Frank Pusella, 33. Joseph Casedore, 32. The fire broke out shortly after 1 o'clock. Frank Pussela, father of the children, was aroused by the smoke. He made, a desperate effort to reach the room where his wife and children

were asleep. His way was blocked byf a wall of flames and smoke. Again he tried to enter the place, but was driven back. Then he staggered to a window, opened it and tumbled' out. A meat market occupied the first floor of the building Pussela in falling caught on a meat hook in a rack in the street and hung suspended until the police removed him. Casedore evidently tried to reach the room where Mrs. Pussela slept. He was found at the head of the stairway unconscious. He was terribly burned, part of his flesh being charred before the firemen could drag him to the street. The woman and children were burned to death in their beds. Their bodies were found in the ruins of the building after the fire had burned itself out. They were so blackened and burned as to be almost unrecognizable. The fire is believed by the police to have been the result of a blackhand bomb exploded in the rear of the store on the first floor. A policeman who was In the neighborhood said he heard an explosion shortly before the fire broke out. Four persons sleeping on the first floor escaped. CORSET STEELS ARE . AID TO SALVATION CHICAGO, March 19 Corset steels are an aid to salvation, according to Mrs. Minona S. Jones, chairman of the woman's reformatory committee of the Illinois women's democratic league. Self-respect is the first element towards reclaiming a woman's soul," said Mrs. Jones. "No woman can maintain her self-respect unless she wears a corset. Dress our women prisoners well and they will be reformed." Mrs. Jones produced statistics to show that reclaimed delinquents among women in this state only reach 3 per cent, while in Massachusetts, where women criminals have a separate reformatory and are given corsets the per cent reaches 85. "Until I visited the Bridewell I never knew women could hive such awful figures," Mrs. Jones solemnly concluded. Human Faces.
