TOT DIES FROM
BURNS; IS NOT
TOLD TO MOTHER
Parent III in Bed When Girl
Sneaked Away to Play
With Matches.

While her mother was in bed with
a week-old babe, Levinia Perna, four
years old, of 500 North Sixth street
.sneaked down the celia. of her home,
yesterday, and lighted matches
which ignited her dress. The little
girl died today at the City Hospital,
from the effects of her burns. The
mother knows that the girl was in
jured, but the death of her child has
been kept away from her fearing the
shock would result seriously.
The girl secured a handful OF
matches and then went into the cellar.
Marks along the walls show that the
tot went about marking the walls
with the matches. She was garbed in
a white summer dress.
One of the matches ignited her
clothing and the girl began to scream.
She crawled up five steps into lower
hall way and then ran into the yard.
Mrs. Perna heard her screams and at
tempted to answer them. She was
too weak to do so.
Famed by, the winds as she ran
about the yard, the flames increased
and before a carpet was thrown about
her, the girl was human torch.
Several men in the house heard the
screams of the tot and rushed to her
aid.
The City Hospital ambulance was
called and the patient rushed to the
hospital. Death ended her suffering
at an early hour today.
The mother will not be notified of
the loss of her child until she is
stronger. The funeral will be held
Thursday afternoon. Interment will
take place in Holy Sepulchre Gem

SCHWAb SUED
FOR 100000
BY NEWARKER
Former Senator Smith Seeks to
Recover Fees as Receiver for
U. S. ShipbuiIding Co.

Former United States Senator
James Smith. jr., who served from
1903 until 1906 as receiver of the
United States Shipbuilding Company,
has been trying ever since to collect
for his services. He brought suit for
5000, 900 against Charles M. Schwab,
head of the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, which succeeded the shipbuild-
ing company, in the New York Su-
preme Court about five years ago, but
did not push the case because he
believed his claim would be settled
out of court.
Mr.. Smith, when seen today said:
This IS simply an agreement with
Mr.. Schwab on which he has paid
100000. / am simply suing him for
the difference. That is all there is
to it."
The fact that the former Senator
had to go to law to collect from Mr..
Schwab has been known only to the
parties to the case, because by an
agreement between Leonard G. Wall
stein, now commissioner of accounts,
who was attorney for Mr.. Smith, and
Willard A. Mitchell, Mr.. Schwab's at
torney, no papers in the case have
been put on record in the county
clerks office in New York.
A few days ago the first paper put
on file in the case made it's appear
ance in the county clerks office in
New York. 1t was an order substi-
tuting Commissioner Wallstein's
partner, Arthur L. Strasser as at
torney of record for Mr.. Smith. Later
Mr.. Strasser filed a reply to an
amended answer by Mr. Schwab, and
this paper gave the first indication
that the suit was of some magni-
tude.
While counsel for both sides re-
fused to make public the pleadings
in the case, it is known that Mr.
Schwab contends that he has made
full settlement with former Senator
Smith by the payment of 500, ,000 and
that he is entitled to have the suit
dismissed on his counter claim. Mr.
Smiths reply admits the payment of
$780, 900, but contends that the coun-
ter claim did not arise within six
years prior to the beginning of the
action, and that it is barred by the
statute of limitations.
The circumstances under which Mr..
Smith seeks to hold Mr. Schwab for
his fees are not disclosed, but at the
time Federal Judge Kirkpatrick, of
New Jersey, appointed Mr. Smith re-
ceiver of the $70000,00O shipbuilding
combine he declared that the direct
ors, who were acting under the guild
ance of Mr.. Schwab, had exceeded
their powers and that not only were

more than two hours discussion by

tions in Mexico was s:ompmyed.
No announcement was made fur
ther than that the presidents stara-

to improve conditions will be made
public tomorrow morning.
All the cabinet officers we're tsloe-

The prevailing belief after the cabi-

very brief. would be dispatched to
Germany, asking whether the i'm
perlal government intends, by its an

clples of international law. IL Ger

cepted principles of international law.
based on customs and laws Of hu-
manity, the United States probably
viii sever diplomatic relations with
Germany. That view found express

House and was looked upon as the
most plausible trend of the American

When Count Bernstorff. the German
ambassador, sees President Wilson
tomorrow, unless he brings some new
proposal differing from the reply
signed by Herr Won Jagow, the Ger

today in well-informed quarters. that
his visit will not affect the character
of the new American note, although
the presidents personal views. it was
thought, would be impressed upon
the ambassador and might have some
influence in Berlin on the reception
of the forthcoming communication.
President Wilson today suggested
the advisability of withholding COM

that he has the complete c!icial
text of the German reply before him,
and has discussed it with the cabinet,

Newark Cut Out
of Itinerary of
Chinese Visitors
Omitted Without Notice, After
Having Been Scheduled
Once.

Newark was without notice cut by
the department Of commerce from the
list of cities to be visited by repre-
sentatives of the commercial organ
izations of China, now touring the
United States.
Mr.. Reilly. said the department of
commerce explained to him that
through an oversight Newark, orig
inally listed for a thorough examina-
ton, had been omitted from the itin-
erary. The department regretted,
ETC., but did not appear to believe
the oversight could be corrected.
The New York officials sympathized
with Newark and offered to arrange
for Newark to have one of the days
allotted to New York city, but this
offer was not accepted. The Chinese,
who were welcomed to New York
today by Acting Mayor McAneny,
will return to China without having
seen Newark.
Secretary James M. Reilly, of the
Board of Trade, who was informed
in a letter from Secretary of Com
merce William c. Redfield that New
ark would be visited on June 13 and
IA. today received a copy of the itln-
erary of the trip, which included such
towns as Schenectady, N. y, and
Providence, r. l., but omitted New
ark.
The trip is supposed to include the
most important cities of the United
States. It's object is the promotion
of commercial relations between
China and America. The Chinese
merchants and manufacturers, thirty
in number, of the highest type of
Chinese business man, are expected
to famiIiarize themselves with the
most important things of American
commercial and industrial life, and
to acquaint themselves with indus
trial conditions and methods.

WILSON DEFERS
MAKING PUBLIC
MEXICAN POLICY
Military Leaders Will Be cau-
toned to Drop Factions in
Statement Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-President
Wilson's new Mexican policy will not
be made public until Wednesday, The
president explained it TO the cabinet
today. Inasmuch as he wants to get
it before the leaders of the Mexican
factions before it is widely circulated,
he decided to defer making the text
public here until the afternoon news
papers of tomorrow.
The president had the entire note
completed, however, before the cabi-
net met. 1t is understood that the
policy, as outlined, will closely follow
the facts, as already known. The
situation IN the southern republic will
be characterized as intolerable. and
the military factional officials viii be
called on Immediately to reconcile
their differences, and select repre-
sentative provisional government.
1t can be stated upon official au-
thority that the note will not ok any
time limit within which they pihas
act, There will be nothing ia sHa
nature of an ultimatum, and thera
will be no threats. but the documanta
entire tone will be one of absolute
firmness, leaving nothing to bo
guessed at as to what this govern
ment will do if the factions do not
end their revolutionary activity.
1t also is certain that there will be
no recognition of any of the present
provisional governments" What the
administration desires as a "peN
deal" south of the Rio Grande; one
that will end the present state oi
anxiety. R

THE RAILWAYS
U. S. Supreme Court Holds that
Property-Owners Cannot
Recover Damages.
Special to the Evening Star.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-The Uni
ted States Supreme Court this after
noon upheld the New Jersey Supreme
Court in refusing to award damages
in a suit brought by the Catholic
Church of st. Anthony of Padua, OF
Jersey City, against the Pennsyl-
vania railroad for maintaining a
smoke nuisance.
The effect of the decision is State
wide. Had the court allowed damages
every property -owner along any rail-
road in New Jersey would have had a
claim for property damaged by smoke,
and the result would have been that
many of the railroads would electrify
their lines in Jersey City and the
more populous districts.
This particular suit was for $50,0OC
and corresponded to a suit brought
by Monsignor John A. Shepard, rec
tor of st. Michael's Church, Jersey
City, against the Erie for the same
amount. The Erie settled for 1000
There are about ~ other suits like

ITALIANS RALLY
TO THE CALL Of
THEIR COUNTRY

More than 1000 Italians from this
Auditorium in Hamburg place yes
terday afternoon and last night. and
started the ball a-rolling for the col
lection of funds for the Italian Red
Cross and the italian Relief Fund.
Besides arranging for the collection
of moneys, the Italians renewed their
pledge of allegiance to this country.
Although sons and daughters of
Italy by birth, we are wed to Amer
lea and its ideals,' was the feeling
prevalent throughout the meeting
and the keynote to the various
speeches.
1t was decided that the moneys
collected in Newark and vicinity
should be turned over to the local
consular agents Office who in turn
will turn it over to the American
Italian Fund.
The event of yesterday was the
dedicating of the emblem of the
PeppinD Garibaldi Lodge No. 81, of
the Sons of Italy, benevolent and
social organization among Italians in
this country that has almost 400
branches in the United States and at
least sixty sections in this State
The spirit of the gathering was well
illustrated early in the evening when
there appeared in the hall Signore
Pasquale De Carlo, an old Carl
baldian veteran, dressed in the red
shirt and with his breast covered
with medals denoting his bravery on
the field of battle. The orchestra
Immediately struck up the Garibaldi
hymn, which is venerated only second
to the Italian national anthem, and a
chorus of red-shirted girls sang the
words, as If honoring him personally.
One of those who addressed the as
semblage before the dancing began
was Mr.. Pierino Giorgi, of West New
York. His theme was Italia Irre-
denta," which expresses the dream
of every Italian of the northern prov
inces. 1t simply means Let us wrest

LONDON, June 1, Sol p. m.-
Ninety bombs were dropped in the
raid on London last night by zeppe-
lin airships.
Four persons were killed and a
few were injured.
No public building was damaged.
This information was given out
officially today.
The Zeppelin raid on the metropoli-
tan area last night has brought a
recrudescence of the anti German de-
monstrations of the mob.
The feeling against Germans is
acute. Crowds have attacked German
shops, and special constables have
had to be called out to deal with the
people.
The rioters have pulled down the
barricades from shops which had
been boarded up since the previous
disorders, and what furniture and
goods remained has been looted.

over Bari and Brindisi, seaports in
the Adriatic, in southern Italy. They
threw bombs, which killed one per-

Brindisi is the principal harbor of
the Adriatic in southeastern Italy.
The attack evidently was directed at
the docks and shipping, but the
bombs fell in the town, damaging two
houses. Bari is seventy miles north

progress is being made.
Official statements from Constanti-
