WOMAN DIVES TO DEATH FROM MASONIC TEMPLE
CHICAGO, May 29. -
Mrs. B.R. Belz of Hinsdale, Ill., was killed today by jumping or falling from a top story window of the Masonic temple to the street. Mrs. Belz was 26 years old and the wife of a wealthy dyer.
A steel net recently was placed across the rotunda of the Masonic temple to prevent suicide from diving to their death on the tiles of the ground floor inside the building. Just before the netting was put in place, a man leaped 200 feet from the top floor killing himself, and another man who was purchasing a cigar at a stand.
