new ORLEANS
Mother PRAYS
FOR RECOVERY
OF HER BABY

New Orleans, Sept. 18.-(Special) y
In the Milliken memorial hospital a
mother sits dry-eyed beside the cot of
her baby and prays Tor miracle that
will save him from death. The little
boy is so badly burned that doctors
says there is no hope
The mother has not given up.
Anthony Scibito, the two-year-old
baby, was fatally burned Thursday
morning when his clothing caught fire
from an open furnace at his home at
$50 North Where street. The mother
was washing in the back yard and the
baby wandered too near the fire when
her back was turned for a moment.
When she wheeled at hearing his
screams, the little baby was wrapped
in flames. The mother rushed into the
house for a blanket which was wrap
ped about the baby and smothered the
fire.
The little fellow was hurried to the
Milliken memorial hospital in dying
condition. The mother went along in
the ambulance and sat by the side of
the baby, rocking back and forth and
moaning in agony.
Mrs. Scibito built fire in an open
furnace to heat her iron with, and car
ried it out into the back yard where
she was working. The little boy fol-
lowed her on plump and unsteady legs,
When she turned her back for a sec
ond the baby got too close to the fur
mace and his clothes caught fire.
Mother instinct told her what to do.
She ran into the house, jerked a
blanket from a bed, ran back to the
little boy and wrapped the fold tight
Ilv about him. Ambulance surgeons
said that the boy would have died
before they arrived had it not been
for the prompt acton of the mother.
The baby was terribly burned from
the waist down. In a few seconds
that it took the mother to put Out
the fire, the flames had burned tho
baby limbs until they were almos
charred.
Doctors have told the mother tina
death cannot be averted.
But after the manner of mothers
she clings to faith in one power high
err than doctors, and prays beside tn
cot of the dying baby

his proposed executive order establish
ing civil government for the Panama
canal zone with Colonel George w.
G ethals, the canal builder, at its
head The president asked several SEN
ators to advise him of the truth Of
reports that the Democrats would OPP
pose the nomination OF the colonel. Mr..
Taft is anxious to see the civil govern
ment authorized under tn Panama
canal act, estab ished before he leaves
Office March 4 TO allow the new gov
ernor to re-adjust finances before M.

The president, his friends say, en-
phatically is unwilling to become in
yolved in political wrangle over the

confirm the nomination of a civil off
GER Mr.. Taft told callers today that
ne DeHeNed the American people would
like to see Col Goethals made gov

Those who talked with the president
believed that should it be shown that
serious opposition to Colonel Cocktails
is to be found his nomination probably
would not be sent in If formidable
opposition does not appear, his nomina-
ton probably viii be sent u the SEN

establishing the new civil regime is
sued. Some OF the colonel's friends
think shold the colonel's nomination
