BURNED WHILE
POURING OIL
IN THE STOVE
Mrs. Anna Prash of Keasbey
May Be Crippled For
Life as Result.
WAS ABOUT TO PREPARE
HER HUSBANDS SUPPER
Walked to This City For
Treatment MIR. Prash Car
risd Pail of Water.

AS the result of pouring kerosene
oil into a stove Mrs. Anna Prash, OF
Keasbey, was so badly burned about
the hands and arms, Saturday night,
that she may be crippled for life.
Ia order to alleviate the pain she
thrust her hands into a pail of
water, and kept them there until her
husband returned two-and-a-half
hours later Then, with her hands
still in the pail, which her husband
carried, the couple walked to this
city. After wandering around for
some time, they were finally taken to
the office of Dr. j. L. Lund by Coun-
ty Clerk Bernard NJ Cannon.
The accident happened shortly af-
ter o'clock while Mrs. Prash was
preparing supper. The fire in the
kitchen stove was to all appear
ances, extinct save for a few Goals
in one corner of the CRATE. Under
the ashes, however, the Goals were
smouldering, and when she poured
the oil into the stove, blaze shot
up. She stepped back, but her
hands, still holding the can, remain
ed over the stove. The oil can
caught fire and before she could rid
herself of it her hands and arms
were burned almost to the bone.
Crazed by pain, Mrs. Prash thrust
her arms into pail of water stand
ing nearby. This lessened the pain
somewhat, but on attempting to re-
move them the pain became worse.
She attempted to summon help,
but her home is some distance away
from the road and the neighboring
houses. With her hands in the
water, Mrs Prash remained until
her husband returned about $3.50
o'clock By this time she was so
weakened by pain that it was almost
impossible for her TO stand, yet, to-
gether with her husband, she walk
ed to this city She was unable to
remove her hands from the water ex-
cept with great pain, and Prash was
compelled to carry the pail to this
city.
When they reached here, being
unfamiliar with the place, they were
unable to find doctor and proceed
ed to the ferry house before theiI
grrand was made RrYrrJ--ra- Pea<Ssps
at that place directed them to re-
turn, and at the corner of Smith and
High streets the couple met County
Clerk Cannon and Collector of Rev.
enue Richard F. White. Mr.. Gan
non accompanied them to the Office
of DR.. Lund, where the woman was
given treatment.

ment of Horse.

to move fast enough. They succeed
ed in reaching Smith street and
kirkland place, where the animal
stopped entirely and they were ac-
costed by the patrolman. Sinkers
partners left the carriage and ran, he
says, when they saw the officer. He
was placed under arrest and taken to

suit was covered with mud and torn
in several places. He wore neither
overcoat nor hat. These, he said,

ASKS SENATOR
KEAN TO AID
IN THE CAUSE
President A. S. Ambrose of
National SIaYonic Society
on Census Question.
FOR DISTINCTION OF
THE DIFFERENT RACES
Makes Reply TO Recent Com
munication Of mr. Nan -ssy
and Mr.. Gross.

Throughout the entire United States,
especially in districts populated by
Slavs and Hungarians, is the proposed
change in the form of census questions
becoming manifest. Within a few DAYS
a large mass meeting of prominent
Slavs, including editors Of Slavish pa
pers, and priests of the same national-
ity, viii be held at Pittsburg Fa, for
the purpose Of appointing a committee
to interview President Taft and request
him to make a change in the form Of
census questions. Joseph E. Steicker,
New Jersey counsel for the society, will
attend
According to the present form Of
questions, it will be impossible to pre-
serve the distinction between the Hun
garians and the subjects of smaller
principalities, coming under the Austro-
Hungarian crown. The nationalities of
the Slovaks, Slovanians, Croats or Ser
vians now in America will not appear
on the census blanks, because when the
questions are asked, they will be put
in such a manner that no distinction
can be made.
Anthony S. Ambrose, president of the
National Slavonic Society, is at the
caused John D. Prince, senator from
Pasasic County and a professor of Co
lunibia University. to become interest
ed in the matter and as a result the
following letter has been sent BY him
to United States Senator John Kean,
asking him TO represent the facts Of
the matter before the Director Of the
Census:
The letter follows:

March 4th, 1910.
" Hon. John Kean:-

Dear Senator Kean:-
81 hope you viii not mind my troub-
ling you about the following scientific
matter hut I am of the opinion that
you might represent the facts to the
Director of the Census of 1910.

ers are being instructed to take no ac-.
count whatever of any nationalities
save the large European -nationalities,
such as German, Freneh. etc.

''On the other hand very illa,Sleally
exceptional notice is to be taken of Pa
hemians, (Czecks,) Poles and Firms, all
of whom are resident within the terri
