TRAGEDY ENDS CH|LD'S PLAY
Little Girl Had Been Playing in the
Kitchen of Her Home With Baby sis
ter When Flames From Gas Stove
Set Fire to Child S Clothing.

A particularly sad accident occurred
in the Rowland avenue neighborhood
on Elizabeth street on Sunday morning
which resulted in the death Of little
Lillian Casey, two years and two
months old and the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Casey. The little
child was SO terribly burned that she
died at the home just after eleven
O'Clock. No one knows just how the
little girl set fire to her clothing.
Mrs. Casey had been busy in the
kitchen of the house preparing the noon
day meal and she had left Lillian and
another little child playing on the
floor while she went to the rooms OH
the second floor of the house to take
care of the homework A minute later
she smelled smoke coming up from the
lower part of the house and running
down the steps she found the little
child in the front hallway of the house
wrapped in flames and burned so terri
BILE as almost to make it impossible to
recognize her The motherly instinct
caused the woman to take the child in
her arms and she rolled her on the floor
extinguishing the flames. Dr. George
A. Pugh was called to the house and
when he had made an examination he
gave the little child a quoting potion
and she fingered an hour before death
came to release her.
The little child had made no cry for
help and there was absolutely nothing
to show how the accident had occurred.
The little girl was one of seven chill
dren and the other children had gone
to the morning services at st. Thomas
church and few minutes before the
fatal accident the father had gone to a
drug store in the neighborhood. Lii
liam and her little sister were busy with
their child IS play in the kitchen of the
house when Mrs. Casey went to the up
stair room. Tt is thought that the lit
tie girl took a piece of paper and
lighted it from the blaze of the gas
stove and that the paper fell to the
AtOOA oAAu liz W Ou6 l1GblS OI6SS
of white material that she was wear
ing. The little girl ran from the
kitchen of the house through all the
rooms on the lower floor to the hall near
the front door and here she fell un-
conscious. The flames had burned
every stitch of clothing from her and
her head and face and entire body was
mass of burns The flames had even
burned her stockings. It is thought
that the child inhaled some Of the
fire and that this rendered her un-
able to cry out for help. The little
child was moaning when her mother
reached her but before the doctor ar
rived she had passed into an uncon-
scious state in which she remained until
death came.
The child was general favorite with
the people in the neighborhood and her
tragic death cast a pail over many
homes. The funeral was held from
st. Thomas church this afternoon and
interment was at the family plot at st.
James cemetery.

GRATIFYING TO THE BOARD.
Interesting Facts in Second Annual
Report &C Compensation Act.


Although not containing the most
recent and significant figures in con-
nection with the administration of the
workmen's compensation act, the sec
ond annual report on this subject, just
issued by the industrial commission,
holds information that will be of vital
interest and Importance to employers,
Workingmen and lawyers throughout
the state. The new eighty page report
covers the operation of the act for the
year ending June 80, 1913. In fore
word, Chairman Crownhart of the
commission, says:
The Wisconsin act has proven of
substantial benefit to both employers
and workingmen. It should be looked
upon as a great piece of humane legis-
lation-a measure of justice to those
who bear the brunt of industry. and to
their widows and orphans. The COM
mission is gratifed that employers have
so generally taken this view of the
Jaw. There is no call to complain of
any who reject compensation after Civ
ing the subject proper consideration.
The act is voluntary, and employers
have the right to make their election.
But we are confident that few will care
to remain under liability when fully
acquainted with all the facts"
Besides containing complete data on
all cases handled under the act, the re-
port contains comprehensive com
parison of all workmen S compensation
laws in the various states of this count
ry. It also contains reproductions of
the original documents in all cases in
which awards were made by the com
mission. Cases which went through
the supreme court are given with a
synopsis of the higher court IS opinions.
The new report is being sent this week
to every lawyer in Wisconsin and with
in another week will be placed in the
hands of every employer. Copies will
be mailed upon request to all others. !"
