Chester Woman Fatally Burned

Mrs. Helen Bailey Burke, aged 60
years, was fatally burned April "a, when
her clothing was iguited by 9 bonfire
which she had lighted at the rear of the
home of her sister, Miss Marcia Bailey,
two miles north Of Chester. She died
Sunday, April 26, from the effects OF her
injuries Mrs. Burke went to the home
OF her sister and worked about the place
in the afternoon, raking up the dry
leaves and starting a bonfire. She was
alone at the time, her sister being within
the house. II is believed that she slipped
and fell into the blazing leaves.
Miss Bailey heard her sister scream and
hurried to the back doorway, toward
which Mrs. Burke was crawling ON her
hands and knees as her sister arrived.
Mrs. Burke's clothing, except her corsets
and shoes, had been consumed. By last
effort she arose and plunged into an cid
cistern filed with water which
stands near the doorway, and the flames
were extinguished. Miss Bailey removed
her sister from the cistern and carried her
into the house, then summoned a physi-
clan, who dressed Mrs. Burke's injuries
The flesh about her arms and some por-
tions of the body were literally cooked.

PREPARING FOR WAR.

The reports Of Turkish mobilization
in Armenia and the threatened move
ments of troops on the Russian Persian
frontier are admitted by the general
staff in 81. Petersburg. 1t is not known
yet whether this action on the part oi
Turkey is directed against Russia, and
measures 20 far taken by Russia are
confined to precautionary dispositions OF
units within the Caucasus.
Foreign diplomats at st. Petersburg
believe that Russis and Turkey are en-

Turkey might be willing TO 60 far, re-

Russia because of her quarrel With

The prestige Of NJ. Iswolsky, the for

account OF the defensive attitude that
Russia has been compelled to assume,
but the anticipated retirement Of the

more 10 the interior situation than to
international influences.

PRESIDENT WANTS MORE
SHIPS.

President Roosevelt called the demo-
cratic members Of the House committee
on naval affairs to the White House
yesterday and urged them to support
his cnti7e naval programme, saying that
the international relations of the Unite l
States at this time render naval pre-
paredness for war absolutely necessary.
The President specifically mentioned the
trouble with Japan. He married the
whole course of the negotiations over the
questions with Japan and spoke of these
issues as being unsettled and still serious.
Therefore, he asked the democrats, not
as "politicians," but as ''patriols," to
vote for the four new 20,0C0-tOn battle
ships, four scout cruisers and an auxili-
ary feet of destroyers, submarines and
ammunition and mine ships, as recon-
mended to Congress in his annual mes
ssge and In The naval estimates.
The strictest possible Injunction of se-
cIecy was put upon those present ss to ali
the details of The Presidents talk upon
international matters. Only one addi-
tional point creeps out, and 1t is that
more significance attached to the with
drawal of japanese Ambassador Aoki
than hss been officially made known ia
the past. The democratic conference
invited to the Presidents saDctum came
away from the White House visibly i'm
pressed with the position taken by the
President. They were frank 10 say that,
if the Presidents view of the situation is
well founded, the bsttleship programme
should be carried through Congress. II
now seems certain that the Presidents
programme will receive larger number
of democratic votes when the issue on
the naval bill comes before the House.
The House naval affairs committee,
despite the recommendations of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, has decided to recon
mend the construction of only two bat
lleships.
In the face of this statement by the
President. dispatch from London rep
resenis the japanese Ambassador to
Wash Dgtou, Baron KogorO Takahira as
saying; 81 kBo@ Of no trHer friends OF
Japan than the Americans, and our ex-
cellent relations and knowledge of one
another will insure an amicsble outcome
at an early date of the negotiations still
10 progress. have always regarded
the Americans as our good friends, and
friendship in times Of stress and difficulty
is doubly appreciated. That is why /
say know Japan has no truer friends
than the Americans who all along have
believed in the justice and truth Of our
aims. Although certain newspapers
have spoken in pessimistic vein re-
regarding our relations, | have never at
lsched the slightest Importance to these
utterances, and with roy knowledge Of
America attitude during the Russo
japanese var, and of her relations to us
in our earlier and more modest times, |

sitions were lower under realizing and
