BURNED GIRL HAS
CHANGE TO LIVE
MARY sATTERFlElp's DRESS Is
tCNtTED, WHILE PLAYING WITH
MATCHES.

Although the burns which she sus-
tanned Yesterday morning while playing
with a box OF matches are apparently
very severe, the attending physician
holds out some hope for little Mary
Satterfield, four-year Old daughter or
City Sergeant John l.. Satterfield. who
resides at Sl06 East Broad Street.
The child is badly burned about the
face and arms and upper section of
the body. However, it did not swal-
low any of the flames while scream
ing for help after Its dress caught fire.
and that Is regarded by the doctor as
fortunate indeed.
The little girl was out on the front
porch alone when the accident oc-
Cured. Running through the hallway
screaming at the top of her voice when
she realized her dress was atiame she
attracted Miss Katie Cussens from the
rear porch. Miss Cussens pIcked up a
rug In the hall and lung 1t around the
child smothering the flames, just as
its mother hurried down the stairway
from upstairs and was about TO pick
the child UP in her arms to wrap her
dress about 1t.
Miss Alice Satterneld, an older sis
ter. also descended the stairs behind
her mother and phoned for doctor.
Dr. ~ Ramon Garcin was, Rrst, 'sasn-,
moned but he retired later i'm favor
of DR.. Vfrginlus Harrison, the regu-
lar family physician. Mr.. -Satterfield,
who was at the City Hall at the time
of the accident was summoned home
as, soon as possible.

NEW TOBACCO BILLS
HURTFUL TO TRADE

President T, M. Darlington, OF the
Tobacco Association OF the United
States, returned yesterday from Old
Point. where, on Tuesday. the annual
meeting OF the association was held.
The most significant action taken by
the association. according to MIR. Car
rington, was the passage OF resolutions
voicing the associations opposition to
the bills now pending in the House of
Representatives; first. making 1t legal
for anyone to sell loose leaf tobacco
free OF tax and. secondly, the bill.
making 1t obligatory upon all dealers
and manufacturers to report at a stated
time each year the amourt OF their leaf
tobacco stock and Its kind and char
acter. The tobacco people seem to be
unanimously of the opinion that the
proposed laws would prove seriously
detrimental to the trade Referring to
the latter measure. Mr.. Darlington ex-
planned that such q measure would so
expose the business Of tho dealer to
his rivals as to prove harmful.
Mr. Darlington stated that Tuesdays
meeting was the best, largest, and
most representative tho association has
ever held and that campaign would
now be pressed for new members.

KEY TO TICKER

METAL TRADE MONTHLY BULLETIN
HAD THOUSANDS OF PRO-
sCRIBED NAMES.

NEW YORK, July 5.--The key to
tho ingenious "Tickler,55 the organ
of the Metal goods trust. was dis
covered to-day and reveals perhaps
the most far-reaching blacklist ever
compiled in this country.
There Is not firm in the metal
trade In tho United States or Canada
that is not placed through 1t under
one OF the most gripping monopoiies
that can exist.
Its very cleverness shows once

Ticker for Plumbers.
This association, which issues the
Ticker. Is known to the trade as the
Manufacturers and Dealers Protec-
tion Association. formerly known a.
the Plumbers Protective Associa ton,
and consists of some two hundred and
fifty firms dealing in plumbers, gas
and steamfitters materials. stoves and

Monthly Blacklist.
Each month there Is printed a list
Of firms or individuals which are on
the prescribed list. Tach is follow
ed by cipher composed of number
and lotters. indicating the name OF
the firm In the association that, re-
ports the person or Arm objected to
and the amounte owed by the delin-
Quent. This remarkable blacklist"
includes names objected to- for
other reasons than Indebtedness.
IL the small dealer incurs the wrath
OF the association by cutting prices
or by ding any of the hundred and
one things that may interfere with
the monopoly enforced by the asso-
ciation, his name appears on the
blacklist; so the fact OF Its appearance
does not cast any reflection on the
integrity of the dealer or on his bust
ness credit or on his honesty. 1t
merely means that ne has incurred
displeasure of the metal goods trust.
Seventeen Thousand Listed.
In all there are about seventeen
thousand names In the ticker"
which indicate the enormous power
with which the trusr endeavors to
control the smallest and the largest
firms.
Besides this the association has
what Is known as the pink sheet
which Is a supplementary list direct
