Major de Pederneras, mot only in my

trip than during my trip this summer up
the great lakes and back to Washington

busy and yet courteous and so wiling
to take time to inform a traveller like my
self, who was seeking to know more of
this country. And what a wonderfully
popular man is your President. Mr.. Roose-
welt. We Brazilians, too. admire him very
much and we will always be srattfad that
our legation was raised to the rank o. al
embassy during his administration. Bra

though not so we'll developed as the United
States. It seems proper that these two
nations should maintain their diplomatic
intercourse on the same plane that is main
taned by the leading nations of Eur ope."
Major de Pederneiras and Madame de
Pederneiras find the social life OF Wash
ington a most delightful one. Madame de
Pederneiras comes from a noted Brazilian
family whose lineage is traced back to the
French nobility. She was educated at
home under the best professors and there
learned English, In which she has become
quite proficient since her arrival in Wash
ington. Major de Pederneras and his wife,
when in Brazil, have their home at Petro-
polls, which is the residence of the diplo-
matte corps and of very many of the lead
ing cities of Rio Janeiro. The family oc-
cupies a high position in Brazilian society.

Toronto Has Rival to Jesse Pomeroy.
After Killing Baby Josephine
Carr Tells of Awful
Deed
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
TORONTO, Ont, May 21.-Josephine
Carr, 13-year-old girl, has confessed
to the murder of William Murray, a
9-months old infant.
1t is alleged that the girl has been in
the habit of stealing baby carriages
from the front of a department store
while the parents were inside shopping.
The police have recovered several of
these carriages, which had been sold.
Last Friday the girl went to de-
partment store and found a baby in
each carriage in front of the store. She
picked out the best looking baby car
riage, which contained the Murray
child, and made off with it.
She took the child to the woods near
the city and stripped l. of it's clothing
and threw it over an embankment,
causing it's death. Later she placed the
body in a culvert and burned its
clothing.
On Saturday she made the announce
ment that she had discovered the
child's body in the culvert. When ac-
cused of the crime she made a confess
sion. The girl says the plan of killing
the child was suggested to her by a
play she had seen at theater.

Police Puzzled Over Occurrence
at 1918 Westlake Avenue.
G. L. Butterfield Is Ar
rested-Has Pistol

A shooting affair, the details OF
which suggest a mystery that has yet
to be solved, occurred at the residence
OF DIR. NJ. ]. Davis, 1918 Westlake ave-
nue., shortly after 10 o'clock last night,
and resulted in the arrest Of G. L.
Butterfield, who is suspected by the
police of having attempted murder.
The first intimation of the affair
given the police was by neighbors Of
DR.. Davis, who testified that they had
heard a shot fired, seen a wagon
drawn up before the house, a body
dragged out, placed in the wagon and
the house left in total darkness.
Dr. Davis, however was found in his
house within an hour after the shoot
ing occurred, but refused to give any
details of the affair. He claimed that
the shooting was purely accidental and
that no one had been hurt. He further
stated that there was nothing in the
way of crime committed and refused
to give any further particulars.
Bullet Hole in Door
An investigation of the Davis home
disclosed the fact that a bullet hal
been fired through a screen door at the
rear of the house, but no traces OF
bloodshed could be found.
At half past 1 o'clock this morning
Policeman O'Brien found a man walk
ing on Ninth street near Union. The
queer actions of the man aroused the
suspicious of the officer and hes@ar-
rested him. At the station, where he
was searched, he was found to have a
Colts revolver containing five unused
cartridges and one already fred IIa
gave his name as p. C. Kellerson, but
papers and other articles found on his
person identified him as G. L. Butter
field, foreman in the employ of G.. L.
Whitney, trunk manufacturer at 29S
South Main street. He also carried
Whitney's bank book, besides several
cards belonging to detectives that hci
visited the Davis home after the
shooting.
Theory of Detectives
The theory later supported by the
detectives is that Butterfield has sister
who is supposed to be a patient of
DR.. Davis. Butterfield, it seems, went
to Davis house and demanded that his
sister be returned to him. He was
told by Davis. that he (Davis) had not
seen the girl and knew nothing of her

MAN AND WIFE
NEAR TO DEATH
HAVE NARROW ESCAPE FROM
FIRE IN HOME
HUSBAND, SEVERELY BURNED
Woman Gropes Her Way to Safety
Through Smoke and Flames,
to Faint as She Real
ICES Loss

George S. Keim, a carpenter, living
at 1875 East Forty-sixth street, was
painfully burned about the face and
hands, and his wife had a narrow es-
cape from death in the flames, during
a fire which destroyed the four-room
cottage occupied by them at the above
address shortly before 10 o'clock last
night.
The fire started from an explosion of
a coal oil lamp in the room in which
Keim and his wife were asleep, they
| having retired about an hour previ-
! ously. They were awakened by the
noise of the explosion and found their
room enveloped in flames and sitting
smoke. They jumped out of bed and
Keim ran out upon the street, suppos-
| ing his wife was following him, but
she was so excited and confused by the
smoke. and the roaring flames that she
could not find the door for some time,
finally cropping her way through the
house to the rear door, through which
she escaped to the open air.
Keim upon falling to find his wife
when he reached the street, dashed
back into the burning house to search
for her. Running from room to room,
shouting to her and receiving no an
swer, he searched amid the flames un-
til satisfied she had escaped, when he
staggered through the door almost suf-
focated and suffering intense pain from
numerous burns about his face and
hands.
Mrs. Keim was found and taken to
her husband.
After the cottage was destroyed and
the flames were dying out, Mrs. Keim
suddenly remembered that the savings
of herself and husband for years,
amounting to $3.50. had been left
secreted between the mattress and
to dash into the flames to search for
IT., but was restrained with difficulty.
After few minutes, when the flames
had died out, she persuaded the fire.

the money, hoping that it might be

Failing to find the money at once,
Mrs. Keim ran into the smoking
debris and began to search through
the ruins for the money, digging into
the hot embers with her bare hands re-

she could not find it.
AS she came to a realization that
they had lost their all, even the furni-
ture. which was uninsured, she swoon-
ed and fell backwards into the charred
ruins, striking her head against al
fence which ran very close to the side
Of the cottage. She was picked up and
carried into the home of neighbor
and a physician was called to attend
her
