Statement from Fire Department.
It seems as though tho public hus a
wrong impression as to fire department
affairs. It has been stuted thut tho
department appeared boforo the council
with another 'kick." This is untrue,
for all they wont betoro tho council was
to stick up for their rights, and to seo
If tho department didn't huve tho
right to abide by tho laws and constitu
tion, which tho mayor and council ap
proved May 10, 1911. It seems us
though the mayor has taken tho priv
ilege of appointing u chief for tho de
partment and tho membors desire to as
certain if ho has the right so to do over
tho constitution and by-laws and tho
council ns well. th
As far as Mr. Jones is concerned, tho
department mombcis h'avo nothing
ugainst him and ho still has tho good
will of every member. ..

MisB Bertha Telitz, one of tho
operators at the telephone office,
lowed a dose of carbolic acid at
4 o'clock yesterday morning and
short time later. No cause was
for tho suicide and the girl had been in
exceptionally good spirits alL tho pro
ceeding evening. She is of n happy
disposition and so far ob was known or
can bo discovered had no reason for
doing it, but it is suspocted bIic did it
on the impulse during a short period of
neryouncss and mental depression.
Shortly before she took the acid she
was in conversation with George Weir,
night ticket agent, and at that time
she threatened to take the poison and
showed him the bottle. He asked her
to let him have the bottlo and said that
he would break it without looking at it,
but she refused, stating that in that
case she could never look him in the
fnco again. The young man thought
she was joking and seemingly had
talked her out of it. She complained
then of feeling rather bluo. The young
man talked with her from the alley as
she was looking out of the window. He
had seen her in the window and stopped
for a visit. After he had left her and
went to the office, the phone in the office
rang and he answered it. She said
"Goodbye" and stated that she had
"done it." He immediated called an
other man to the phone and told him to
talk with 'her until he ran to the build
ing and kept her from taking the acid.
She only said goodbye to the other man
and Btated that she had already taken
the acid, and tho other young man ran
for the building also.
When they arrived at the building
the door was locked and the girl was
looking out of tho window and crying.
She still had the recoivor on her head.
They callod for her to open the door
which sho did, and they hurried to hor
and tried to pour some milk down her-
The night policeman was notified and
ran for a doctor. He procured tho
medfeine and they gave it to her but
it was too late to do any good and she
died in a short time. She did not speak
after they entered the building except
to say "don't" when they started to
work with her.
Miss Telitz was a bright, sunny cHb
positioned girl and her rash action
camo as u groat shock. She had had
the poison for several days and was
using it to disinfect the wush bowl. Her
Bister was with her when she bought.it
and she got it on that pretense and had
been using it for that purpose. She
evidently got to thinking of suicide qpd
thought of tha poison being so near and
took it without thinking what would pe
the result. The young man she colled
was questioned and gave a clean story,
and a post mortom examination on the
body failed to disclose any motive.
