CHILD DIES OF BURNS.
Little Girl Fell Into Tub of Hot
Water Yesterday Afternoon.

Lola Genevieve Pyles. the two-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Franklin w.
Pyles of 1437 South Carolina avenue
southeast, died at the Childrens Hospital
at 2:30 o'clock this morning of burns
which she received yesterday afternoon
at her home by falling into tub of
hot water
The little girl had gone to bid her
father. who was on his way TO work,
goodbye when she fell into a small tub
of scalding water which her mother
had left on the rear porch a few minutes
before. The child fell backward, so that
her head struck the side of the tub, and
thus saved her face and neck from being
burned.
Grasping the child in her arms, the
mother ran into the house and placed her
on a couch in the dining room. She at
tempted to tear the clothing from the
child's body, but was unsuccessful. Mrs.
Py1es then called for help and several
neighbors ran into the house, but they
seemed a loss what to do In the
meantime some one telephoned to the
Casualty Hospital and the ambulance in
charge of DIR. Lee responded
When the physician reached the place
he administered first aid remedies and
then took her to the hospital. She was
later taken to the Children's Hospital /.
where, despite the fact that the phy-
sicans' did everything possible, she died
early this morning.

APPEAL FOR THE FAIRGROUNDS
VICE PRESIDENT ARTHUR c.
MOSES ADDRESSES CITIZENS.
goresees Much Good to Result IL
Each City Does Its Duty
Toward Children.

Pointing to the fact that President Taft
Speaker Cannon, Postmaster General
Hitchcock and hundreds OF others con-
nected with the administration nave
united IN expressing their approval of
public Fairgrounds, Vice President Arthur
e. Moses of the Washington Fairgrounds
Association has addressed another appear
TO the citizens of the District for support
for the movement.
All Judges nf Juvenile courts say that
their lis of offenders IS reduced one
third or more as soon as Fairgrounds
OPEN said Mr.. Moses. And the resi-
dents of tie District of Columbia must
realize what this means. If cach city
does its duty toward the chiidfen-and
more Of them are coming INTO lne pa.
grounds movement every month-it means
a reduction of the crime of the world In
almost arithmetical ratio. Because the
boy who finds the outlet for his surplus
energy in the playground instead OF III
pranks in the streets is less likely to de-
vclop into a criminal with manhood. The
iails will be less crowded as the play
grounds become more numerous. Ihs
world will be cleaner and better.

FOUR RESCUED FROM FLAMES |
LIVES SAVED BY FIREMAN'S
PROMPT ACTION.
Private Hellmuth Rushed Into
Burning House in Time to Lead
Occupants to Safety.

BY his prompt action at a fire in the
house 5ll II street early this morning.
Private Frank Hellmuth of No. 6 engine
company probably saved the lives OF four
persons. aiding them in getting out of the
place.
About 5:35 o'clock this morning fire was
discovered in the house occupied by Mrs.
Margaret Buckley. An alarm was sound
ed from box 123, to WHICH engine COM
panies Is, Il. 16. 3. the water tower. truck
companies | and and Battalion Chief
keliher responded. No. engine company,
which is located on Massachusetts ave-
nue., one block away, was the first TO
reach the scene. Before the hose carriage
had come to a standstill in front OF
the place. Private Hellmuth jumped off
and ran up the front steps Of the house.
Entering the place he found the rooms
filled with smoke, while the flames had
burned their way up the stairway. I'm
hesitatingly the fireman ran up the stairs
to the second floor. where he found Miss
{. NJ. Sullivan and II. c. Jacobs. He
assisted them to a front window, from
which he aided them to climb through to
a bay window of an adjoining house.
After ascertaining that all of the occu-
pants were off of the second floor he
went to the third floor. where Mrs. Buck
ley and c. A. Taylor, paralytic. were
endeavoring to escape. The fireman di-
rected them to go to the front of the
house, where he threw open the windows,
and. as with the occupants of the second
floor, assisted them to escape. Owing to
the roof of the adjoining house being
slightly higher than the window sill, the
fireman was compelled to swing Mrs
Buckley and then Mr. Taylor up upon the
roof. from which they were assisted to the
other house by the occupants.
The fire is said to have started In par
lor the first floor by draperes COM
ing into contact with lighted gas jet
After burning practically all of the fur
niture in the parlor the flames spread to
the hallway and then burned their way
up to the second floor. where the con-
tents of several rooms were destroyed.
The damage amounted to about $1,000,
of which SLIGO was to the contents.
