WEDNESDAY, MARCH 10, 1912.
A SPLENDID GATHERING.

The meetings of the Rio Grande
Valley Horticultural Association,
which have been held in Brownsville
this week, were brought to a close
yesterday morning.
The results of the meetings can
hardly be covered by the brief sum-
mary of their work here given. 1t
is not only that the horticultural
lists of the Valley have been enabled
TO meet and exchange views as to
the work which means so much to
them, but many practical steps were
taken which will affect beneficially
the whole business of horticulture in
the Rio Grande Valley. Definite
plans were formulated to secure leg
islation protecting fruit growers
from the Importation of insect and
fungus pests from other countries.
The whole question of protecting
trees and vines from diseases Incl
dent to them was thoroughly VEN
tilated, and every grower of frul
n vines in the association will be
benefited
The eyes of the public generally
have been opened to the Importance
of horticulture among the wealth
producing resources of the country.
AS far as Brownsville and it Cham
Der of Commerce are concerned the
meeting of the Association here has
been we'll worth while. No one in
the least interested in the develop
ment of this region can read the ac-
counts of the sessions without feel
ing proud of the association, the men
who compose it, and the enterprise
and public spirit that brought them
together in our city.

MOTHERS FRANTIC
AS 3 TOTS BURN
Parents Unable to Save Chill
dren from Death in BlaZ-
ing Barn.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Dec. g.
Trapped in a burning barn at Uni
versal, near Turtle Creek. a borough,
three small children were slowly
burned to death late yesterday while
their mothers listened to the chill
dren's screams and tore frantically at
the weather boarding of the barn in
a futile attempt at rescue.
The dead are: Elizabeth Sophan,
5; John Chasley. 4. and Mary Randa,
aged 8.
They had visited the barn to play
and are thought to have had matches
A large quantity of hay became ig-
nited and the barn was transformed
into a furnace. To shut out the
dampness of a rainy day the children
had closed and fastened the barn
door.
The flames were discovered by Mrs
Sophan. She knew the children were
in the barn and her cries brought
Mrs. Chasley and Mrs. Randa, With
agonizing cries the three mothers
tried to break down the barn door
and, failing, attempted to pull boards
from the side of the building.
When help arrived the three womer
were raving maniacs. They were car.
ried to their homes and rescuers cut
a hole into the barn. Before they
succeeded in entering the building ths
children were burned to a crisp.

AUTO DRAGS GIRL;
HAT SAVES LIFE
Miss Jessie Benz in Critical
Condition-Chadffeur FIses,
Auto identified.

Pulled from beneath a heavy tour
ing car, which had dragged her for
more than twenty yards, Miss Jessie
Benz is in critical condition at her
home, Is Magazine street, today. Her
skull is fractured and she is badly
bruised about the body.
That she was not killed instantly
is probably due to the fact that she
wore a heavy fur hat
Miss Benz was returning from work
at the De Reidnau Welding Works
when the accident occurred. She
stepped from behind a trolley car on
Broad street, near Marshal, and the
automobile crashed into her. Before
the machine was brought to a stop
the girl had been dragged twenty
yards.
Dr. William NJ. Goodwin, of rs Con-
gress street, backed the heavy car
from the girl and picked her up un-
conscious.
A hasty examination showed she
was seriously injured and he took the
girl to her home in his automobile.
DR.. Goodwin told the chauffeur of
the car to run the machine alongside
the curb. The man cranked the car
and dashed out of sight The number
of the car was 2S595 N j., and is
owned by j. H. Weber, a baker, of
1921 Springfield avenue, according to
the State records. The chauffeur has
not yet been located.

SEEK BABY AND
NURSE ALL NIGHT
Movies Lure Girl, Who Loses
Bearings-Wind-Up Is
Anti-CIimax.

Lured by a famboyant poster OF
"The Lost Heiress," Miss Theodore
Meintz, a young nurse girl, took her
2-year-old charge into a South Or
ange avenue nickeldrome.
The movies more than fulfilled the
promise of the poster. They were
thrilling. They sent the shivers
chasing each other up and down her
spine. They froze her with horror
when the little heroine was walking
off the precipice before being rescued
by the man that loved her big sister.
When it was all over she had sort
of delicious, awe-struck and melo-
dramatic feeling of adventure.
Under this spell she placed the
baby in its go-cart and started to
walk home in exactly the wrong
direction. The poster had enticed her
across the street. but she had Tor
gotten that.
When her nurse girl and baby dld
not return, Mrs. Charles Lefkowltz,
who is visiting at 9s Quitman street,
became alarmed and then hysterlcal.
Mr.. Lefkowitz notified the police and
an. all-night search was made for the
mysteriously missing pair.
Meanwhile the girl came to the con-
clusion that she was as lost as she
possibly could be. She could not re-
member the name of the street, where
it was or what 1t looked like. And
little Mary, like the lost heiress,
wanted some supper.
After wandering around for hours,
the nurse girl took trolley car to
Belleville, where the Leftkowitzes
live. She found a rear window that
was unlocked, and climbed through
II into the house. There she and the
baby were finally found today by the
frantic parents.
