BABY BURNS To DEATH
WHILE PLAYING WITH
FIRE; MOTHER AWAY
Port Reading Child Secures
Matches and Sets Clothes on
Fire - Sister is Burned Try
Ing to Save Boys Life.

The little body of three-year-old
John Kucsma, of Third street, Port
Reading, was burned to crisp
shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. The child set himself afire
with matches, with which he was
playing wniie MS mother was shop
ping in this city Though DR.. Reason
and DR.. Wantoch were called to the
scene, they found they could do
nothing for the lad, who died within
an hour after his clothes became
ignited. Coroner R. A. Hirner was
called and removed the body to his
morgue. The boys mother, Mrs.
Julia Kucsma, was bereaved of her
husband about three years ago, when
he was run down and killed by q
train at Railway.
Finds Baby Charred Corpse.
Mrs. Kucsma left for Perth Amboy
to shop late yesterday morning.
When she returned home in the af-
ternoon she found her baby boy a
charred corpse.
The child was left In the apart
ments of Mrs. kucsma alone. The
baby became restless after he had
eaten lunch with his married sister
In the adjoining apartments. After
amusing himself for a time he went
to the kitchen, where he located a
box of matches.
Soon Mass of Flames.
The boy wore a loose, flowing
blouse and when a lighted match fell
on the garment he was soon mass
of flames. The lad tried to put out
the blaze with his hands, but the
flames leaped around his body and he
was at their mercy. He cried in
agony and attracted the attention of
his married sister, Mary, who was in
the adjoining apartments. She ran
to the room, but found her little
brother semi-conscious on the floor,
suffocated by the flames which had
consumed his waist and were burn
ing his trousers and undergarments.
Without losing any time to fetch wa
ter she seized towel and with her
hands protected only by this cloth,
began smothering the flames as best
she could. She failed, however, to
extinguish the fire before 1t had
caught every garment the boy wore
and burned his body to a crisp. In
her efforts both the young woman s
hands were terribly burned and a
physician was required to attend her.
Today she is unable to use either of
her hands, which are splotched with
long scars where the skin was
burned Off
1t was pathetic scene that neigh
bors witnessed when the mother re-
turned home and viewed the charred
remains of her only boy.

HEALTH BOARD ASKS
INCREASE IN BUDGET
Commissioners Say They viii
Need $3.50 Next Year. AL
dermen Planned TO Cut Down
on the Health Board Funds.

Budget figures received but little
consideration at the committee meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen last
night because of the fact that sew
eral other subjects held the attention
of the aldermen up to IL o'clock.
Four members of the Board Of
Health appeared before the board to
secure an increase in their appropria-
tion for next year. The subject was
taken under consideration, but 1t Is
the prevailing impression among the
aldermen that the health depart
ment's appropriation is one which
will be cut, together with several
others.
Commissioners Appear.
Commissioners A. r. A. Oyergaard
George Stillwell, Michael j. Zylka
and Hans Smith appeared before the
aldermen with statement to show
what would be needed in the way Of
funds and what could be expected as
receipts. They showed that about
$1,000 would be required from the
city. This would include an appro-
priation of $500 for visiting nurse.
The health officials endeavored to
show that nurse of that kind would
be of great value to the people here
in the prevention of the spread of in
fectious and contagious diseases. Her
duty would be to visit the homes
daily where diseases exist and In
sruct the parents or those in charge.
VIII Require $3.50 Next Year.
The Board of Health will require
$3.50 to conduct its work as out
items follow: Salaries, $500; doc
tors for reporting contagious dis
eases, $50; horse hire, $3.50; labora-
tory, chemicals, etc, s400; office,
stationery, books, etc, $3.50; anti
toxin, $3.50; lawyer, $50; sanitary,
sputum cups, fumigating candles,
etc, $500; total, $3.50. The esti-
mated receipts for next year are as
follows: Milk, $3.50; plumbing,
5000; barber, $50; recorder fines,
$780, ice cream, $50 scavenger.
$40; miscellaneous, $40; total
81, 500.
Appropriations for the health and
other departments of the city will be
considered by the aldermen before
the regular meeting Monday night,
at which 1t is expected the budget
ordinance will be introduced.
AS told yesterday, there will prob
ably not be any reduction in the
police account, for which the appro-
priation for the year was $4,000
Mayor Ferd Garretson has notified
the council that the department will
be able to get along on like amount
next year

VIII Afford Sewer System.

Aside from establishing an open
thoroughfare from State street to
Amboy avenue, the scheme will af-
ford a sewer system for territory
lying between the Central and Penn
sylvania railroad tracks in the north
ern part. 1t is claimed that a sew
age layout there could not be had
so long as there was no opening to
State street.
The establishment of Garretson
avenue will really afford two open
ings from State street to Amboy
avenue, the property owners declare,
as it is proposed to. connect Garrett
son avenue with Inslee street, by
way of the new Anton street. Gar
retson avenue will be extended to
Pine street covering the former An
ton street. One course to Amboy
avenue will extend one block south
erly on Pine street to Thomas street
and the other one block northerly to
Inslee. street.
The work will entail negotiations
with the Pennsylvania and Central
railroad companies to go under their
tracks

DISCUSS MOVING
STATE PRISON
To M|DDLESEX
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Trenton, Dec. Sat a conference
held yesterday afternoon the Prison
Labor Commission, together with rep
resentatives of the prison and re-
formatory, the feasibility of utilizing
the state reformatory in Woodbridge
township near Railway for state
prison and the establishment upon
modern lines, both as to the con-
struction and location of new re-
formatory, was discussed.
1t was decided, following con-
ference with Governor Fielder, that
the present reformatory, with the ad-
ditional accommodation provided,
would provide admirable facilities for
the state prison and the utilization of
the labor of such convicts as cannot
safely be assigned to work upon pub
lie roads and the prison farm. 1t
was the opinion of those at the con-
ference that most of the new reforma-
tory could be built by prison labor,
the inmates of the reformatory hav-
ing done considerable construction
work at this institution.
1t is claimed that the construction
of the reformatory is better adapted
for the prison than reformatory pur-
poses. A special committee, consist
ing of President Decatur M. Sawyer,
of the Reformatory board; Jacob
Shurts, of the Prison Board Inspect
ors, and President Cook Conklin OF
the Prison Labor Commissioners
with Commissioner of Charities and
Corrections Byers, was appointed to
consider the question, and VIII re-
port at the second conference to be
held in the state house December %.
The placing of three hundred other
prisoners on the prison farm in Cum
berland was also decided upon. Gov
ernor Fielder urged those at the
meeting to facilitate the scheme by
which convicts may manufacture sal
able goods.
