MOTHER BURNS To
DEATH TO SAVE
HER BABIES LIVES
Brave Woman Carries Exploded
Lamp Out of House and
Flames Attack Clothing.

NEW YORK, April 27.-Mrs. Adele
Rudolph, the young wife and mother
who was found in the woods several
hundred yards from her home at Mari
ner's Harbor, Staten Island, last night
with her clothes and hair flaming, died
in st. Vincent's Hospital at 8 o'clock
this morning without regaining con-
seriousness.
While the police have been unable to
determine exactly how Mrs. Rudolph
caught fire, they believe that blazing
oil was thrown on her by an exploding
lamp and that she fled to the open,
fearing the fire would be communicate
ed to the room in which her three small
children were asleep.
Mr.. Rudolph was not at home last
night and his wife had remained up to
greet him. The last the children saw of
her she was in the parlor reading by
a lamp. Shortly before II o'clock Mr..
and Mrs. Lafayette Morgan, of 81 Port
lane, were driving to their home in an
automobile when they saw a smoking
heap in a dense thicket skirting the
road. They stopped and Mr.. Morgan
went to investigate.
Its a woman and she is afre," he
called to Mrs. Morgan.
Mrs. Morgan leaped from the car and
was quickly at the side of the now I'M
conscious Mrs. Rudolph. She did not
recognize her, but with bare hands
smothered the flames.
She was taken unconscious to the
hospital and death followed.
When the police began their inve3ti-
cation they had little trouble in fol
lowing the path taken by Mrs. Rudolph
when she left her home, sped down the
lawn and into the woods, her clothes
afire.
The children We're still sleeping. They
had not known of the fiji or of theil
mothers injury and death, and wher
the men in uniform awakened then
they gazed wild-eyed and frightened.
In the parlor of the house was {
strong smell Of kerosene. and all about
the room We're pieces of the lamp. Or
the floor lay an open book partly
burned.

END Of
DRIVERS STRIKE
NOT IN SIGHT

The prospects of a settlement of the
drivers and helpers demands for al
legged better conditions in their work
for the commission merchants in Com
merce street today appear to be re-
mote. Yesterday they appeared to be
very good.
The reason for the change is due in
a Measure to the a~ssaulting of two Of
the strike-breakers while loading a
wagon in the South Broad street
freight yard about 8 o'clock this morn
ing. Also the injuring of one of the
horses owned by E. E. Bergen &c Co.
at 2S Commerce street. 1t is said that
the strike-breakers were the assailants
in both cases. The men were more or
less badly bruised about the face and
body.
The horse was hit on the head with
a picket from a fence, and the right
eye of the animal Is badly swollen.
Anticipating more trouble later on,
Roundsman Stillman, with a squad OF
men. were rushed to Commerce street,
and when they arrived there they found
all of the strike-breakers along the side
walks swinging short clubs, which they
said they intended to use on any one
that interfered with their work.
Roundsman Stillman seized n of the
leaders of the strike-breakers and asked
him where he got the authority to dc
police duty, and was informed by the
leader tina he did not propose to have
any more of his men injured.

Roundsman, rs that you and your mer

disappeared and nobody was hurt.
An effort was made about noon TIM
by the committee representing tn
| strikers to effect a compromise witt
the merchants, but the latter refuses
to grant any concession on the grounds
that their men were much better pai'
under the old conditions than the.
would be under the new order of things
The one objection of the merchant
is-to the clause calling for recognition
of the union. and also IL they wer
short of help 1t would take the uniol
forty-eight hours to supply the de
mand. Morgan Barker. of the firm o
C. E Barker, said today that he an
all of the other merchants could no
see their way clear to recognize tn
union. which would be tantanlount t
the men running their business.
A of the men were enjoying goo
wages and hours" said Mr.. Barker
without any union recognition, and "
will not stand for it."

Some Of the MasterfuI Achievements
Of Americans.
Americans founded the first govern
ment under which all men were equal
before the law. Since the Declaration
OF Independence was published to the
world the democratic idea has hourly
received new impulse until now its
march seems irresistible.
Americans were the first to demon
strate the feasibility of relying on q
citizen soldierv to defend the land and
its institutions against foreign and
domestic attack.
Americans were the first to abolish
titular distinctions aud to deprive So
cial eminence Of any support save
character Or the consensus Of those
who choose to consider themselves as
socially elect.
1t was an American who invented
the steamship. An American invent
ed the telegraph. An American in
vented the telephone. An American
invented the electric light. An Ameri.
can invented the reaper, which makes
it possible to feed the billion and more
people on this planet. 1t was I'm Amer

One Of the Heaxss Psrpstrated by
Theodore Hook.
In the early part Of the nineteenth
century great preparations were made
in England to receive Spanish am.
bassadOr who was expected to arrive
at Southampton. mischievous idea
came into the head of Theodore Hook
(born 1883. died 1841). novelist and
journalist and above all contrtver OF
that diversion known as the hoax. The
English feet was lying OF Southamp-
ton. Hook. then young man. knew
many Of the younger officers. He
formed his scheme. aud one morning
a launch set out from the feet and
drew up at the quay.
In this launch was he who purported
to be the Spanish ambassador In al.
most royal robes. arrived two days be-
fore the expected time. The mayor of
Southampton. who was to receive the
Spanish envoy. was greatly clustered.
It was all so sudden. He did the best
he could. Several companies of SOL
diers. some on foot. some mounted.
were called out The bells were rung.
The ambassador. accompanied by
number OF young officers Of the feet.
was escorted with much pomp to the
mayors palace. There was banquet
and speechmaking. one of the young
officers acting as interpreter for the
ambassador.
After it was over and the Spanish
envoy was supposed to be on his way
to London the true ambassador arriv.
ed. There was but sorry reception
for him. The other ambassador. who
was Theodore Hook. having perpetrat-
ed the greatest hoax ever known on
a mayor and a city. had exhausted
the hospitality Of the town. The scan
dial was so great, the mayor and the
people of Southampton had been so
outrageously cold. that TO make any
stir about the affair would only cause
them to be laughed at all the more.
With the exception of the dismissal
of some of the naval officers who had
taken part in it little was done. and
the affair was allowed to blow over
