NEGRO BOY PERISHES
IN BURNING COTTAGE
EXPLOSION OF OIL LAMP
CAUSES FIRE
Mother Becomes Excited and Forgets
Presence of Sleeping chId-House
Almost Totally Destroyed
by the Flames

Floyd Stuart, a negro lad five years
old, was burned to death in bed at the
home of his mother, Mollie Stuart, at
1851 East Thirty-fourth street, when
the place was partly destroyed by fire
due to the explosion of an oil lamp,
yesterday morning.
The mother was in the kitchen Short
ly after 6 o'clock preparing the MORN
ing meal, when in some manner an
oil lamp on the kitchen table was over
turned. An explosion Immediately re-
suited, and in an instant the burning
liquid had spread on the floor and set
fire to the place.
The woman became excited, over
looked the fact that her child was
asleep in an adjoining room and rushed
from the place and gave the alarm.
The flames gained great headway
and when the fire department arrived
the house was almost in ruins. Not
until the firemen appeared did the
mother realize that her child was still
in the building, and as soon as the fire
was under control she rushed into the
ruins and seized the charred body of
the boy.
The body was taken to the UNDER
taking establishment of Pierce Broth
ers, and the coroner will probably sign
certificate of accidental death with
out holding an inquest.
The loss on the building is estimat-
ed at $500 and the loss to the con-
tents will not exceed $3.50.

ney George Edwards:
1.-THE appeal of A. r. Holston of the
Socialist party TO have George Ed
wards, the candidate for city attorney
representing the Socialist Labor party,
declared ineligible because Edwards is
not a practicing attorney, was unani-
mously denied by the city council. The
council held that while the city char
ter might contemplate that a candidate
for city attorney should be lawyer,
yet there is nothing specific stated
therein.
"The reason the Socialist Labor par
ty nominated a tailor for such an Of
flee is simply to have the organization
which Edwards represents have super
vision of the advisory powers of such
office. Since Socialists believe that pri-
vate ownership in factories and lands
should become collective property, the
use of such advisory power would be
to modify and interpret laws from a
working class standpoint.
ANDREW Johnson, one of our presi-
dents, was a tailor Abe Lincoln was
a woodchopper George Washington a
surveyor, and the president of the city
council is a furniture man and good
class-conscious tailor with working
class horse sense may be an improve
ment over red tape and hairsplitting
lawyers. AS to judicial cases where a
practicing attorney must participate
there are always sufficient deputies
such as the city attorney now has to
do the work"

CHARITY CONFERENCE
LEADERS ARE CHOSEN
CITY ASKED FOR FUNDS TO
STAMP OUT DISEASE
Fumigation of Secondhand Clothes
and Maintenance of Labor and
Industrial Bureaus
Suggested

The first annual meeting of the
charity conference committee was held
in the Chamber of Commerce building
yesterday afternoon. The committee
passed resolutions to the effect that
the city should be asked for funds
for the maintenance of the labor ana
industrial bureau, that the passage of
an ordinance, recently drawn up by
the city attorney, providing for the
fumigation of secondhand clothes, be
urged and that provision be made for
the prevention of the spreading of
contagious diseases through the sale
of secondhand mattresses made from
old materials.
1t also was considered to ask the
next legislature to pass a bill raising
the age for state aid to 16 years in
place of IA years, as it is now. A
special meeting probably will be called
later to consummate plans to bring
this proposed bill before the law
makers.
DR.. George H. Kress, chairman of
the conference, stated that so per cent
of the deaths from consumption in the
last year were among the poorer
classes of people and he urged the
necessity of alleviating the conditions
that were responsible for the deaths
of these people.
The committee suggested the estab-
lishment of a tubercular pay hospital
for the well-to-do strangers who
would arrive here.
The charity conference committee
was organized year ago by persons
interested in the work of the Assoclat-
ed Charities and works in conjunction
with the latter organization in an ad-
visory capacity.
DR.. George II. Kress was elected
chairman of the conference for the
coming year; H. w. Frank, first vice
chairman; H. M. Crane, second vice
chairman; Mrs. L. Ducommun, third
vice president and S. X. Sewall, sec
retary.
A visit was made yesterday after
noon to the new industrial department
of the Associated Charities at 912 Dale
