CHILD DIES
FROM BURNS

Because 3-year-old Philip Fields
tried to amuse his baby sister by
lighting matches for her to see, little
Eleanor Fields, 20 months old, is ly-
ing dead today in the home of Mrs.
James Fields, Is President street,
East Newark.
AS Mrs. Fields was returning from
shopping tour at 6 o'clock last
night she saw a crowd in the drug
store of Frank II. Palardy, 202 Grant
avenue. She pushed her way in and
saw the druggist bending over the
blistered form of her own dying baby
She gave a piercing scream and faint
ed. The child died soon after being
removed to st. Michae's Hospital.
Mrs. FieldsN had left the baby
asleep in the cradle at o'clock.
Later Jimmie, her 6-year-old son, re-
turned from school and lifted the
baby out. When he found he could
not put little Eleanor back into the
cradle again he left 3-year-old Philip
to amuse her and ran out to play.
After other means of amusing the
baby failed Philip tried lighting
matches. Neighbors who answered
his screams of terror short time
later found the baby's clothes in
flames.

He asked for delay until they eould
arrive.
Chairman Devine said the meetns
hour already had been long passed
and that contestants were ready ana
waiting to be heard.
George Malby, of New YORK, ana
