From Kitchen and Then Tele-
phones for Ambulance.

NEW YORK. December 14.-Although
having only one leg and suffering from
maladies which make it almost impossible
thirty years old. of 90 Middlesex street,
Harrison. \. j.. suddenly found himself
stirred to activity OF which he did not
dream he was capable yesterday when he
heard the screams Of his mother. seventy
years old. whose hair and clothing were
ablaEe, and who was crying feebly for
help from another room in the house.
Only a moment before the screams
reached his ears Burns had heard an ex-
plosOn in the kitchen. in which his moth
er was at work. and he hoped on one
foot from the front room to the rear of
the house. where the aged woman was
lying on the floor writhing in pain. Mrs.
Burns is heavy woman. but in the
stress of the moment the cripple managed
to lift her from the floor by gra sping her
around the waist and then hoped into
the next room. Letting the aged woman
down gently. Burns grasped blankets and
other bed clothing and wrapped them
guished. and then he hoped out of the
building and into a store next door, from
which he telephoned to the police to send
an ambulance to his house.
Meantime, Burns hmst If was suffering
great agony. for he had been severely
burned about the face and hands while
carrying his blazing burden. At st. Mi
chaers Hospital last night it was said
that the remarkable struggle of the Grip
pied man to save his mothers life would
be successful and that Burns also would
recover

BRAZILIAN MUTINEERS
IMPRISONED IN FORTRESS
Crews Of Many Warships Will Be
Changed as Result Of
Outbreaks.

RIO JANEIRO. December 1.-THE gov
eminent has ordered the dismissal from
the naval service Of the crews Of the bat
tleships Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes and
other warships affected by the recent
mutinies. These men are all now i'm
prisoned in the fortress on villegaignon
Island.
Late yesterday the warships which
were sent away We're reported arriving
at southern ports. The trouble with
the mutineers appears to have been
ended. The proclamation OF a state Of
siege has simply suspended civil pro-
cedure for thirty days and in no way
affects the public. except that a news
censorship is maintained and police
passes are required of those who seek
to enter or leave the city.

ctated Charities will be found the report

Wendell +. Stafford chairman. which was
appointed at the request of the society to

so limited.

fully audited at regular intervals and Of
fers no opportunity for misrepresentation
or waste: that the working system is
we'll planned and we'll administered: that
due economy is observed: that the asso-
citation has done and is doing a great and
indispensable work in this community, and
is entitled to the heartiest support and
confidence of all tie citizens

IL means to plant tree The day was
generally observed In Hammond yes
terday and in every school yard at
least one maple tree was planted. In
some OF the schools the exercises were
more elaborate than in others, but the
program scheme was carried out in all
of them. There was singing and reei-
tations and in some instances the
christening of the tree In the Central
school, for instance, the children de-
clded upon the name of Longfellow and
this name the tree will bear through

is to be derived from the planting of a.
single tree, but later he begins to
realize that thousands of shade trees
We're planted throughout the country.

grows older he will plant tree, pos :
