Benzine on Her Clothes.

BALTIMORE, June 15.-Coolly writing

them she was going to kill herself and
requesting that certain of her childish
possessions be given to playInates whom
she named. Nellie Irene Winsor. ten years
old, 1900 North Chester street. yesterday
burned herself to death.
No one was in the house at the time ex-
cept boy working in q plumbing shop in
the cellar. and the screams Of the dying
child as the flames burned her to death
failed to attract the attention of neigh
bors.
Before setting fire to herself the child
had poured a mixture OF benzine and
Worcester sauce over her dress and then,
like a living torch. fled up the stairs to
her room on the third floor. As she reached
the top landing the blazing youngster
fell across the threshold. and there the
charred and mangled body was found by
her uncle, Eugene /. Mitchell. a plumber.
with whom she lived.
The child had brooded over the fact
that she was kept In school, for which
her foster parents had reproved her, and
yesterday morning Mrs. Mitchell went to
see the girls teacher.

ARMED GUARDS AWE
PERTH AMBOY STRIKERS
Men Are Without a Leader and
Failure of Big WaIkout
Is Predicted.

PERTH AMBOY, n. j., June 15.-
Guards with repeating rifles have SO ef-
fectively guarded the factories here be-
sieged by striking laborers that condi-
tons were comparatively quiet this morn
ing. The strikers still number about
1000. They are without a leader. how
members. and the employers say that
succeed.
The net result of yesterdays rioting
is three dead and seven injured OF the
dead one was a striker, one a man at
work and the third was the night watch
man at the Perth Amboy Tobacco Com
pany plant. The injured are all strikers
except Sheriff Bollschweiler, who was
stoned as he was patroling the district in
his automobile.
Six men are under arrest. charged with
carrying concealed weapons and melting
to riot.
Deputies Are Attacked.
Trouble started with the arrival last
night of squad of fifty deputies on the
roadway opposite the refinery. They had
scarcely set foot upon the ground before
a mob Of 1900 men were upon them.
The deputies shot first and then inves-
tigated. After smashing as many heads
as possible with their nightsticks they
fired volley into the air. This was
greeted by a hail of missiles and scatter
ing shots. The guns of the deputies spat
lead the second time, above the strikers
heads, but the latter broke for cover be-
hind the railroad embankment. From be-
hind. this breastwork twenty times within
the evening the mob started to storm the
deputies, but always was driven back
Although checkmated there, the strikers
won a bloodless victory at the plant of
the Atlantic Terra Gotta Company. where
the officials compromised upon their de-
mands
While the main body of strikers was
massed at the refinery, there were minor
in half a dozen other scat
tered locations. In some cases the strik-
ers tired upon the deputies.

Detective Patrick O'Brien called at the
Nantucket, 1913 W street northwest, this
morning looking for Frank S. Byron,
fifty-two years old, whose arrest to an
swer charge of forgery in Richmond,
Va, was requested last night, and was
surprised to learn that Byron had COM

stones, was well known in this city. He
had trouble with several of his patrons
about two years ago and complaint was
made by a woman that she had given up
a diamond ring in connection with the
purchase of a monument.
The complaint was settled without a
trial in court. More than a year ago By
ron went to Richmond and was engaged
in the monument business there, it is
stated. Four weeks ago he returned to
this city. He went away after he was

home until after midnight. 1t is said that
Byron returned to his apartment shortly
after midnight. This morning the odor
of gas prompted his daughter to go to
the kitchen. and stretched on the floor
was her fathers dead body. Gas was
flowing from burners in the range.
No note Of explanation was left. SO far
as the police were able to learn. DR.. Reed
responded to call sent to The Emergency
Hospital. He examined the body and pro-
nounced life extinct.

HAND PRESSES STAY
At PRINTING BUREAU
House Gives Proposed Change
a Sharp Set
back.

The attempt to throw out the hand
power presses from the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing, as provided for by a
section Of the sundry civil appropriation
bill under discussion by the House today
in committee on the whole. met with a
setback when Representative Hughes of
New Jersey suddenly raised point of
order against the section. The point of
order was sustained without debate, and
REPRESENTATIVE Hughes left the House If
the Senate agrees, the bill will be passed
without having the effect of changing the
present method of printing certain gov
ernment paper in the big plant.
The provision, prepared for the bill
by the committee on appropriations,
knocked out the law of July l, 1898. that
all bonds, notes, checks shall be printed
on hand roller presses.
Plan as Proposed.
1t specified that this act should not ap-
ply to checks, the backs and tints of all
United States bonds and the backs and
tints of all United States paper money"
The Secretary of the Treasury was given
authority to decide on this question and
if he decided to substitute power presses
for hand presses he would be authorized
to reduce hand presses by one-tifth their
NUMBER edcn year.
The committee also adopted an amend
ment to prevent federal district attorney 8
from receiving special fees and also to pre-
vent them from resigning their offices
and taking charge Of cases at an ad-
yanced rate of compensation. During the
discussion of this amendment there was
much criticism of fees that had been re-
ceived by Secretary of War Stimson,
formerly federal district attorney for
the southern district of New York, and
who prosecuted the sugar frauds.
Stimson Is Criticised.
Representative Beall of Texas. chair
man of the committee on expenditures in
the Department Of Justice, criticised Sec
retary Stimson for resigning his office
under the government for which he re-
ceived $4,000 year to take up the sugar
prosecution at special rate which netted
him $4,000 for years labors.
Mr. Beall said also that the Department

1t is probable that thanks for the gov

No trouble is reported from the province
of Pinar del Rio. where it was feared an
uprising might occur today. There is no
disorder in the other parts of the island.
DIR. Ignacio RemireZ, secretary to Presi-
dent Gomez, issued the following state
ment today:
The Cuban government is satisfied
that it is able speedily to stamp out the
revolt. The situation is becoming hourly
more encouraging. The rebels are break
ing up into small bands, incapable of
much resistance. and these are certain
soon to come into contact with the vari-
Gus columns of government troops which
already are holding positions where they
can cut off the rebels retreat.

Ferrara Is Awaiting Reply
to Note to Secretary Knox

Orestes Ferrara. speaker OF the Cuban
house of representatives, is waiting in
Washington for an answer to his note
to Secretary Knox last Tuesday, calling
attention to the feeling of unrest created
in Havana by the widespread doubt as
to the intentions of the United States
government toward Cuba, and soliciting
some sort of declaration on the subject
from the Secretary of State.
The statement issued to the press from
the State Department last night was the
immediate result of this application. but
Senor Ferrara will today receive a note
from Secretary Knox expressing in
more formal way the policy of the Wash
ington administration.
The underlying note of last nights
statement was the expression of i'm
patience that it should be regarded as
necessary for the State Department to
continue to issue it's declaration of good
faith Officials point out that on no less
than three occasions either President
Taft or Secretary Knox has assured the
Cuban government that the United States
has no intention of intervening in the po-
Iitical affairs Of the island. unless driven
to do so by the failure of the Cuban
government to maintain law and order
and protect property.

Think Government Slow.

There is much talk in an unofficial way
among army officers and State Depart
ment people to the effect that 1T is now
the duty of the Cuban government to
show a great deal more energy and de-
termination in suppressing the rebellion
than it has done.
No attempt is made to disguise the dis
satisfaction felt by officials here over
what they regard as the unnecessary ex-
tension by Gen. Monteagudo of the period
of amnesty to insurrectos for ten days
more. Omcials are quite at a loss to un-
derstand why the disorderly element Is
voluntarily allowed more time to loot.
pillage and burn property of foreign
owners.
For this reason the State Department
has firmly declined to yield to the fnti-
nation coming from Havana that the
American battleships be withdrawn. Sec
retary Knox is determined that. as far
as American marines and bluejackets can
extend protection where insurrectos are
operating, and where the Cuban army has
failed, the American naval forces shall
be maintained, and even strengthened If
necessary.

Gen. Juan Mario Menocal, former pres

to Havana today that the moral effect of
the recent successful government opera
tions apparently makes his offer to take
the field at the head of a large body of
