burns. :, The physicians were unable to
determine IL she had inhaled the flame
and could not decide. therefore, If the
burns were likely to prove fatal.
| Mrs. Stone and her daughter, Mrs. Cora
McInnis were standing at a window on
the I street side of their apartment on
the third floor of the building looking
at passing vehicles and pedestrians, when
the apron of the mother came in contact
with a small gas heater and ignited,
communicating quickly to her other gar
ments.
Before the daughter could render any
assistance her mother ran from the room
to the bathroom in the rear part of the
| building, turned on the water and fell
into the tub. Mrs. McInnis followed
and tried to assist her. She called loudly
for help and her cries were responded

Stone suffered intense agony from burns
on her back and arms. She was cared
for at her home until the arrival of the
ambulance from the Emergency Hospital.

the woman's sufferings before leaving the
house, and his treatment was continued
while the ambulance was being hurried
to the hospital. Mrs. Stone was at once
taken to the operating room in the in
stitution. and her burns were attended
to. Later she was removed to a ward.

A cry of fire coming from the 9th
street house was heard by persons on the
street, and an alarm was turned in sum-
moning the fire department. The engines
quickly responded, but there was nothing
for them to do.
The crowd of curious and excited peo-
pie remained about the corner of 9th
and I streets until Mrs. Stone had been
removed to the hospital No damage
was caused to the building or to the per-
sonal effects of the family other than the
burning Of the clothing worn by Mrs.
Stone.

HOUSE MEMBERS PLEAD
FOR IRRIGATION BONDS
Argue for Issue of $50, ooo,o 900 Be-
fore House Ways and Means
Committee.

Representatives Howell, republican. OF
Utah. and Poindexter, republican, of
Washington, were on the witness stand
today before the House ways and means
committee as pleaders for the .Mondell
thirty -million-dollar irrigation bond bill.
They concluded their time, however, more
as defendants than as advocates, for
nearly every member of the committee
bombarded them with questions. some of
which were pretty hard to answer.
clark, Harrison and Underwood, demo
cratic members of the committee. were
especially solcitous to know on what con-
stitutional ground they ask for $4,000, OOO
from the Treasury of the people; how
they knew the government would ever get
it back; how they thought the govern
ment would be protected against loss II
the projects failed to come up to press
agents expectations, and how they ex-
pected to limit the expenditures. If the
bonds were issued to those states where
work had already been begun, when the
money was the equal property of all the
DeOple.

FINAL ACTION DEFERRED.
Head Tax and Educational Test for
Immigrants POSTPONED.

Representative Francis Burton Harrison
of New York won out today in his fight
against the Hayes bill. which imposes
an educational test and head tax on i'm
migrants. AT today's meeting of the
House committee on immigration it was
decided by decisive vote to postpone ac-
ton on all legislation looking to the inn
position of educational tests and the coll
lection of a head tax, at least until the
next session of Congress.
This action was taken in order that the
committee might await the report of the
immigration commission. Mr.. Harrison
and others having presented such strong
arguments against the Hayes measure to
the committee that it felt 1t could not
logically authorize a favorable report at
this time. or permit 1t to get before the
House in its present shape.
Mr.. Harrison made an argument against
a Favorable report on the Hayes bill be-
fore the committee several days ago.

CRITICISED BY CITIZENS
TWO BRANCHES OF DISTRICT
GOVERNMENT UNDER FIRE.
Fault Found by Northeast Associa-
ton With Administration of En-
gineer and Water Departments.

Members of the Northeast Washington
Citizens Association severely criticised
the engineer and water departments Of
the District government at meeting of
the association last night. In discussing
the Engineer Commissioners plan to
convert square s57 into property yard
Mr.. Frizzell declared that the Commits
sioner has been in Office only about a
year and had been entertained, dned
and 1attered so much that he had lost
his head.
And now" he said 1.-The eastern sec
ton of the city and the Northeast Wash
ington Citizens Association are playing
the role of the little dog under the big
wagon Of the engineer department., and
the association may as well go out of
business il it is to continue to get treat
ment at the hands of the Engineer Com
missioner such as it has been getting.
Mr.. Frizzell told of having asked Com
missioner Rudolph about the proposed
conversion of the square into property
yard, to which the association is OPP
posed. The Commissioner told him he
would refer that question to the corpora
tion counsel for legal opinion. and
promised to let him know the result.
Il have not yet heard from him." Mr.
Frizzell added.
rs there not some law against the
Commissioners occupying a public street
Tor Such purposes. asked MI. bTdnSOH
THE association is of the opinion that
the land was donated by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company, ito be used
as thoroughfare," President Tucker re-
piled.
The president said he thought, the rem
edy is In the hands of Congress. Senator
Scott has already introduced a resolution
which is intended to prevent the use of
the square as a property yard. He said
the resolution was drafted by the leS1S-
latiye committee of the association.
Water Department Criticised.
Mr. Holster said he had a complaint
to make against the water department
He asserted that after he had paid one
water bill he was sent a second bill for
additional water used.
1T may have been all right said Mr.
Holsten. land I paid them. but it wasn't
all right for them to report, a leak upon
my premises, and make ME employ a
plumber to dig, only to find there was no
leak.
Mr. Frizzell said he had some experience
with the water department doing useless
digging. A supposed leak was located by
a pitometer. he said. and the street was
dug up. A aborer was employed on
that work at $50 day. and a foreman
at - a day. They spent about two days
without finding a leak. That is a fair
sample of the work of that department., he
declared. :
