MRS. JOSEPH JONES
SERIOUSLY BURNED


Serious Accident Occurred This
Forenoon on Peck Place. Clothes |
Nearly Burned From Her Body. |
NeighbOrs Extinguished Flapes
With Rugs. Two Women Also
Sustais Injuries.
Mrs. Katherine Jones, wife of
Joseph Jones, who is employed at
the Montpelier & Wells River car
shops, had narrow escape from a
painful death Friday morning about
10:45 o'clock, while burning a pile
of old papers and rubbish in the
yard back of her residence at 4
Peck place. In some way her
clothes caught fire. burning her back
very seriously, in fact her chances
of recovery are considered about
even by the physicians who were
called to attend the case.
Mrs. Jones had been cleaning
house and had collected a quantity
of old rubbish which she set on fire
in the back yard but just as she was
turning away from the blaze, the
skirt of the loose wrapper which
she was wearing, was swept into the
flames. She was Immediately
mass of flames, as the light cloth
ing flashed up in an instant but she
retained her presence of mind long
enough to run screaming toward
the home of Mrs. Eta Hill, next
door neighbor, who ran out with
large rug which she wrapped around
the burning woman. The blaze was
so fierce that the rug was set on
fire, but Mrs. Hill and Mrs. Mar
garet Roakes, sister OF Mrs.
Jones, tried to beat the fire out with
their hands, sustaining several
painful injuries in this way. Simon
Berman and Ernest Fisher, who
were only few rods away, saw the
flames and rushed to the scene i'm
mediately, wrapping more rugs
about her and beating the flames
out as best they could, tearing off
the burning garments in short or
der. She was at once carried into
her home and a physician sent for,
but before one could arrive at the
house, the neighbors, who had rush
ed in, did all in their power to allay
tho tarriIIa cIffarinpG Of tba in
jured woman.
1t was found that her clothes had
been almost entirely burned from
the back part of her body, deep
holes being burned into the flesh on
her hips. while her limbs were
scorched N a terrible manner. The
fact that Mrs. Jones had fastened
cloth around her head to keep the
dust from her hair, probably pre-
vented the flames from burning her
hair, as this was only singed at the
edges.
Her face and the front part of
her body was not burned, the flames
being confined to the back of her
dresses, and thus she did not inhale
the flames, something which would
haze undoubtedly caused her death
if it had occurred. Drs. Mcclure
and Lindsay arrived in short order
and Immediately administered OPP
iates to relieve the pain from the
wounds. but on account of the lack
of rooms at Heaton Hospital it was
impossible to remove the injured
woman to that institution.
Mrs. Jones was perfectly con-
scious throughout the entire course
of events and displayed the great
est fortitude, although she suffered
the most intense pain. Her son Har-
old who is employed at Blakely's
drug store and her husband were
summoned at once. as it was not

THE WATER POWER QUESTION.
Significant Statement by Government
Forester Clifford Pinchot.

Washington, Oct. 31.-The practice
Of the government in granting water
power concessions is outlined by Gift
ford Pinchot, United States forester,
in a letter written to Colonel Henry L.
Higginson of Boston, Mass, a. director
of the General Electric company The
letter takes the form of public state
ment, and is significant now because
of the widespread interest in the wa
ter power question. Mr.. Pinchot seeks
to emphasize particularly that he does
not wish to retard the development of
water powers by private capital.
Summarizing the conditions imposed
on all power permits, the government
forester makes clear the point that the
renewal of a permit at the end of fifty
years is at the option of the govern
ment; that it is my statutes revokable
by the secretary of the interior, but
unless revoked continues fifty years,
when it terminates without any special
revocation. but may then be renewed
at the option of and on conditions to
be fixed by the government.

SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC SCHOOL.
Attempt to Abrogate Rule Regarding
Preliminary Examination.

New Haven. Oct 31.-It is stated
semi officially that the Sheffield scien-
tific school, the second largest depart
ment of Yale university favors the
abrogation of the rule which compels
a candidate for admission to pass his
preliminary examination in at least
five subjects or otherwise repeat his
work. The change, which is of the
highest Importance for the candidates
and for the preparatory schools. can
not be carried through unless adopted
also by the other undergraduate
branch. the academic department, but
a similar movement is actively in
progress in the academic department
and in both departments the change
of the rule is looked for before long.
The movement for abolishing the
rule has been Immediately due TO the
returns from the entrance examina-
tions for the two departments held
last June and September. These show
that in the academic branch no, less
than forty-four per cent of the pre-
liminary candidates failed to receive
preliminary certificates. and that in
the scientific school large number
barely failed in the five subjects and
must repeat.
The scientific, school authorities, ii
is understood, hold that the candidate
should be given credit for any study
in which he passes and that the five
subject restriction ought to be abso-
lutely done away with. In the aca-
demic department the sentiment for
the complete abrogation of the rule IS
not so pronounced and the outcome
may be a compromise in which the
candidate may be given credit for
each subject, but under the condition
that within certain time he make
good in the other subjects and gets
into college.

merous criminal and civil suits against

ing that they feared fraud in the elec-
tion forcibly seized the official bal

through poisonous mine gas and fall
ing slate up the steep walls of the
main shaft. At the time of the ex-
plosion only fifteen workmen, all track
layers, were in the mine.

persons speedily gathered at the mine
entrance. A force Of men, working in
shifts, began clearing the debris and
fallen slate in the lower levels Of the
