Nine Year-OId Daughter OF
William Roll Meets With
Unusual MiShap.
MOTHER TRIPPED ON RUG.
AS SHE DID so THE CONTENTS
OF A COFFEE POT SHE WAS
CARRYING WERE THROWN Ov-
Err CHILD'S BODY.

Burned to death with scalding coffee
was the horrible fate which befell
Frances E.. the little nine-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Roll,
1910 Boyer street. about noon Thurs
day After sixteen hours of horrible
suffering, the little one died this morn
ing about four o'clock.
The accident which befell the child
was a most unusual one. The entire
family had gathered about the dinner
table, with the exception Of the child
and the mother, the latter being in the
act of taking the coffee pot from the
stove to serve those seated at the Ia
ble Frances was directly in front Of
her mother when Mrs. Roll tripped
over a rug and was thrown forward,
the contents of the coffee pot being
thrown over the little girl. With
piercing screams the little one sank to
the floor and writhed in agony. The
boiling coffee burned her head, Shout
ders and the greater portion of her
body. while here little feet were almost
a solid blister, being veritably cooked
by the boiling coffee.
All known antidotes were applied i'm
mediately, while a physician was sum-
moned to relieve the awful sufferings
OF the little girl. The physician at
tended to her wounds, but stated that
he did not have much hopes of her re-
covery, owing to the chid's delicate
health. she having been afflicted the
greater part of her life. For this rea-
son the child was neither able to hear
or understand her mother who, in fit
of terror was attempting to alleviate
the child's sufferings. The shock of
the accident and the manner in which
1t occurred SO greatly shocked Mrs.
Roll that she is in a state of nervous
collapse at her home.

Greensburg, Ind, July 26.-Work-
men were busy all day cleaning away
the debris left where a freight wreck
occurred near the station on the Big
Four.
Although there was no loss of life
this wreck was one of the most spec
tacular that ever occurred on the Big
Four. Two big locomotives, one pull
ing freight train and Tho other pas
senger train. crashed together and
both were demolished. Five cars of
the freight train were destroyed The
tenth and eleventh cars in the freight
train were thrown far to the side of
the track, and. strangely enough, the
train recoupled of it's own accord. A
number of persons on the passenger
train were badly shaken up, but no
serious injuries were reported.

PLENTY OF INFORMATION
State Railroad Commission has Been
Thoroughly Posted.

New Castle, Ind, July 27-The
State Railroad Commission now has
before it a vast amount of informa-
ton concerning the union station
maintained by the Pennsylvania and
Lake Erie & Western railroads in this
city. A strange part of the investi-
cation made by the commission is
that, outside of the railroad attaches,
not single line of testimony was re-
ceived by the commission but that
which was in condemnation of the
structure called union depot"

AGENT OF EARLHAM COLLEGE,
WAS GIVEN A CORDIAL VEL.
COME.

Plainfield, Ind, July 27.-Prof. Ed
gar H. Stranahan, of Wilmington col
1ege, formerly of Richmond, gave
three lectures before the Friends BIZ
BILE institute Friday as follows: THE
Fourth Gospei-External Evidence, /"
THE Fourth GospeI-Internal Evil
dence" and THE Gospel of John Com
pared with the Synoptics.''
The Rev. Clarence NJ. Case, pastor
of the South Eighth Street Friends
Friends on the subject of Church
Evangelization. History shows, he
said, that the Friends have been
somewhat slow in taking up the work
of church evangelization, and not I'M
til in the last century have they made
much progress in that line of work.
They believe in the special revival as
the best method of accomplishing the
work. The Friends do not value num-
bers as much as they do character.
Opportunity for Friends.
The Rev. Richard Haworth gave an
interesting and practical lecture yes
terday afternoon on can Opportunity
and a Suggestion" He stated that in
the three yearly meetings represented
at this institute and in which there
are 41.OO0 members, less than $1,000
are in the Sunday-school, and
many are not members of any
church He pointed out the opportun-
ity of teaching these the principles of
religion and of the Friends church.
Well-trained teachers, he said, were
necessary. He suggested that if the
two colfeges-Wilmingto and Earl
are the property of these
three yearly meetings, would add to
their institutions of learning a course
of training for pastors and teachers,
they would do great good for the
church. He also recommended the
school for teachers and workers to
be held at Winona next week.
Known to Many Friends.
Among the new arrivals is the Rev.
Allen Jay, of Richmond. whose face
is familiar to nearly every one in the
yearly meetings and whose name has
become household word, because of
his long connection with Eariham col
lege as its financial agent and be-
cause of his earnest work in the
Friends church everywhere.

MAY BE ARRESTS.
City Officials Aroused Over Fifth
Ward Sewer Revelations.

That sufficient evidence has already
been unaarthed in the investigation of
the Fifth ward sewer to warrant prose-
cution in the courts of James McCabe,
city engineer, is the opinion expressed
by several members of the committee
in charge of the investigation. The
complete report of the expert, ]. G.
Ellis, has not been prepared yet but
will be completed and placed on file
with the committee by next week, Mon
day. Mr.. Ellis refuses to discuss the
findings so far made.
He has made linear measurement
Of the sewer sufficient to demonstrate
any charge that may exist to that ex-
tent. he states. In addition he has run
a line of levels both in the Fifth ward
sewer, district No. a. and the extern
sion of the Fourth ward sewer, sewer
district No. q.
BY securing the levels and the linear
measurement it is possible to determine
the amount of earth excavation and
form a check of the engineers notes.
The showing that was made of the
lateral on Huntington avenue between
Polk and Western avenue-that stone
did not exist at the depths claimed and
that the sewer was raised under no 9TH
er proba BILE excuse beyond the fact that
the engineers original estimate was
not sufficient to cover the actual cost
and an attempt was being made to fin
ish the sewer and remain within the
estimate-are sufficient for a hearing
of the matter in the courts This is at
least the expression voiced by council
men.

STRIKES A SNAG.
Oklahoma Railroad Consolidation Bill
Starts La Toilette.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The Okla
homa railroad consolidation bill intro
duced in the senate by Mr.. Warner
was considered today by the senate
committee on Indian affairs.
Judge L. F. Parker represented the
railroads and urged the passage of the
measure. He was questioned closely
by Senator La Toilette, who took the
position that the bill would permit a
consolida ton in violation of the Sher-
man law and the principles laid down
by the supreme court in the North ern
Securities case. He declared that
there was an effort to get the bill
through before Oklahoma sent sena-
tors here to oppose its passage.
The bill permits the Frisco system

STILL AFTER A JURY.
Judge Woods VIII Try to Get One in
Idaho Case.

Wallace, Idaho, Feb. 15.-Following
the tardy drawing of fresh venlre OF
so men, Judge Woods court today as
sumed the task of selecting the Il
Jurors who will decide whether Steve
Adams is guilty of the murder of Fred
TAYLOR the timber settler.
The intense interest which the case
arouses here is indicated by the
crowds which kept the court room
filled. Among the merchants and
business men there is a well developed
sentiment against the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, which is defending
Adams, while among the working
classes there is strong prejudice in ex-
actly the opposite way. This compli-
Gates the task of choosing a jury.
While all jurors who admit that
they are members of the Federation
can be challenged for cause and ex-
cluded, it is believed sympathy with
the organization is widespread among
minors who are not on its rolls.
Among the IL men in the jury box
when court convened this morning are
two or three said to be miners, and
while none of these admits member
ship in the union, it is expected the
state may watch for its opportunity to
get rid of them.

ALAFOLLETTE VICTORY.
His Railroad Valuation Bill VIII Be
Reported Favorably.

Washington, Feb. 15.-An echo OF
the railroad rate fight that continued
throughout the two previous sessions
of congress was heard today IN the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce which had under consideration
SENATOR La Follette's bill, providing
that the Interstate commerce commas
sion shall ascertain the face Value OF
the property of every railway e eng Ihe
engaged in interstate commerce. w Hen
the rate bill was under CONSIDERS . loi
a wear ago. Senator La Toilette onered
an amendment identical in terms Win
the pending bill providing LOT IN, asi
valuation of railroads, but IL was Adlu
on the table.
Opposftion to his measure developed
today, coming from the same senator's
who opposed radical features OF the
railroad rate bill when it was in com
rr1ittee last session. 1t was apparent
TODAY. however, that there are enough
votes in the committee to report the
bill whenever it can be brought 10
vote.
The senators who opposed the re-
port TODAY said that their objections
were not because they were against
the proposition to ascertain the Naiue
of railroads but because or their De
lief that there should be certain
amendments to the Dill. II was sdiu
that the task proposed to be placed on
the interstate commerce commission
might hamper that body in perform
ing other necessary work AT the sug-
gestion of these senators it was agreed
that the bill should be referred to the
commission for report as to whether
that body desired any amendments.
The reply of the commission is ex-
pected on Tuesday next and the bill
then will be reported unless amend
ments are offered and supported IN
such a manner as to prevent action.

One Battleship.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The proceed
ings of the house today on the naval
appropriation bill were devoted largely
the increase of the navy with especial
reference to the necessity for two bat
tleships of the Dreadnaught type. The
proceedings were opened by a motion
made by Mr.. Burton (O.) to eliminate

speech in support of his motion in
which he took occasion to contrast the
American navy with the Japanese navy
to the detriment of the latter.
Mr. Burton was followed by Mr.
Crumpacker and Mr.. Longworth, who
favored two ships and Mr.. Slayden and
Mr.. Underwood, who opposed that pro-
vision. The galleries were crowded
and much interest was manifested in
the debate.
On a rising vote the amendment of
Mr.. Burton providing for one battle
ship was lost, ayes 104; nays 122.
