A Frightful Accident.

Last Saturday afternoon Miss
Olive Stone, who lives with her
mother Mrs. Sawyer at this place,
was cleaning a skirt with gaso-
lene and after she had completed
her task she carried the remain
ing gasolene out in the dish pan
and set it down beside the house
and lit a match and threw it into
the pan. The pan was very near
the house and after she saw what
she had done she attempted to
get the burning fluid farther a.
way from the house and gave it
a kick with her foot, no sooner
had she done it than she was en-
veloped in a mass of flames. She
had the skirt she was cleaning on
her crm and she threw this in
side the kitchen door. Mr.. Saw
yer, who was at home at the time
ran to her rescue and took off his
coat and wrapped it around her.
Austin Thomas happened along
at the time and Mrs. Charles
Simonson saw her at the same
time and picked up a rug and
ran to her as fast as she could
and if Miss Stone recOVerS she
has Mrs. Simonson to thank for
saving her life. Mr.. Thomas and
Mr.. Sawyer and Mr.. Chas. Sim
opson succeeded in wrapping the
rug around her and putting out
the flames but not until her cloth
ing had been nearly burned off
and she was most horribly burn
ed. Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Saw
yer's hands were quite badly
burned and Mrs. Sawyer was also
badly burned on the hands in try
ing to put the fire out on the
porch and in the kitchen, caused
by the burning skirt that Miss
Stone threw inside when she
caught fire.
DIR. Johnson was called and
pronounced the case a most criti-
cal one and worked hard to re-
lieve the poor girls sufferings
but the burns were of a frightful
nature and she is in a most crit
ical condition. She was burned
the worst about the arms and

LUMP SUGAR
Natures Medicine for Children

Every mother knows the difficulty OF

more effectively than a dose OF pare
goric.

and bronchial coughs yield promptly to
the healing action of a few drops Of

Justice Wright made this notation on
the controversy over the family home,
and the payments made by DR.. Stone:
THE evidence shows that at the time
of making payments the defendant ex-
pected and intended to maintain and en-
Joy an interest In the real estate: not
that he intended to make a gift to the
separate use Of his wife. I think this
gives him an equitable lien for the sums
paid by him.

Taft Would Not Force
Industrial Arbitration

President Taft today wrote letter
to II. p. Mendes, president Of the Union
Of Orthodox Jewish Congregations Of
the United States and Canada. saying
the matter Of compulsory arbitration Of
industrial disputes was not now prac-
ticable in the Federal Government.
The Hebrew leader had asked the
President to indorse the proposal for
such arbitration. In reply. the Presi-
dent said:
Compulsory arbitration in industrial
controversies Is one which would have
to be dealt with primarily. by the States
rather than the Federal Government
The principal field in which the Fed
eral Government could act would be
that Of controversies between railroads
and their employees, and a step already
has been taken there providing q
mechanism for voluntary arbitration:
It Is doubtful whether any propositio1
for compulsory arbitrat ton Of these dis
putes would at this time meet with suf-
ficient favor to bring such procedure
within the realm Of present possibili-
ties"

Nevitt. ',The heater had not been

SCOT and dirt covered the water pipes
against which the flames burned, and
the apparatus was in a condition where

no pipe or other outlet to carry the
poisonous gas out OF the room. The
windows and door were closed, and
there was absolutely no ventilation In

OF GAS POISONING

Carbon monoxide, the deadly gas
which caused the death, about two
weeks ago of Miss Margaret Shawhan,
ef 1910 Massa sachusetts avenue northwest,
and resulted In preliminary steps being
taken for Congressional probe of the
alleged failure of District officials to
properly inspect instantaneous water
heating apparatus, claimed one more
victim in Washington today.
Antonios Panopoulos. Greek, twenty
eight years old, was found dead in bed
bhortly before . o'clock this morning
In a small back room above his restaur-
ant. at 1916 M street northwest. A water
heater attached to q boiler in the bed
room, and used In connection with heat
lng water for use in the restaurant,
was going full blast when he was dis
covered.
Panopoulos was not feeling well yes
terday, and early last evening went to
his room to so to bed. 1t Is believed he
lighted the heater for the purpose OF
warming the room. Theadore Cheaka-
los, Panopoulos' cousin, and partner In
the eating house business. remained
downstairs during the evening and kept
the place open until midnight. Instead
Of going right to be, he remained in the
back part of the lunch-room reading un-
ill nearly Q o'clock.
Cousin Became Suspicious.
Panopoulos had told his cousin that
lie would rub liniment on his chest
when he went to bed. and took the
bottle upstairs with him. Failing to
rouse his cousin. Cheakalos became sus-
picious that something was wrong, and
hurried out Of the places to summon as
eistance. Knowing nothing of the
deadly effects of carbon monoxide and
tho danger connerted with the water
heater. he feared that perhaps his
cousin might have committed suicide
CT possibly have been murdered.
Bare-headed, Cheakalos was running
excitedly up NJ street when he met
Policemen Ebey and Steinbr,ker, OF the
Seventh precinct. He told them what
bad taken place and hurried back to
the restaurant with them.
Seeing the heater, the policemen
thought that probably it was a carbon
mcnoxide case. They turred off the
gas, opened the windows, and, while one
of them went to a telephone to summon
en- ambulance, the other worked over
tke Greek in futile effort to resusci-
tate him. When the ambulance arrived

 To ex-President Roosevelt. said Nagcl. belonged the credit of arousing the people to a full value of the laws to protect them against monopolies ard combinations. Roosevelt first brought the interstate commerce laws to full effect, he said. and Taft de- voted himself to carrying out the pledges and policies inaugurated by Roosevelt.
