GIRLS SUFFERINGS
ENDED BY DEATH
Little Ervina Cardini Was Burned When
She Was Playing with Matches on
Wednesday Afternoon and
She Died Last Evening

Death came last night to end the suf-
fering of little Ervina Cardini, daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Natalie Cardini, who was
severely burned while playing with
matches in her home Wednesday after
noon. The child passed away at 0 o'clock.
Hopes for her recovery were entertained
during the day but toward evening her
condition began to fail perceptibly. Deep
burns in the abdominal region and burns
across both thighs were responsible for
her death. The little girl was born in
Barre April /, 1918, and was the only
child in the family.
Late Wednesday afternoon her mother
heard scream and found the child s
clothing enveloped in flames when she
hurried into the yard. Somewhere the
young one had obtained matches, al
though members OF the Cardini family
are at loss to explain where she found
them. Mrs. Henry +. Powers, who lives
at No. 4 Grant avenue, also saw the
child's plight and rushed TO her rescue
with rug. 1t was her forethought that
prevented more horrible burns, as she
quickly smothered the flames with the
heavy carpeting. A physician who was
called found portions OF the child's wear.
ing apparel consumed.
The funeral will be held at the house
Saturday afternoon at o'clock and in
terment will be made in Hope cemetery

ASKS U. s. HELP IN
RURAL CREDITS FRAUD
Federal Farm Loan Board Calls on De
partment of Justice to Aid in Head
ing Off Country Wide Swind-
ling Plot.

| Washington, Oct. l3-Seekng to head
off what they believe is developing into
one of the greatest financial frauds the
United States has known the federal
farm loan board yesterday asked the aid
OF the department Of justice.
Clear across the continent in strip
of states from Virginia to California, the
board reported to the justice department
organizations, either deliberately fraudu-
lent or at best illegal have sprung up
for the purpose OF defrauding farmers
through the lstter's ignorance of the new
rural credits act. In one single instance,
it is said the farmers have been victim
ized to an aggregate of S250,0O0.
Governors of states and members of
Congress have been made unwitting par
ties to some of these Illegal operations,
it is said, the promoters taking advan
tage of them, as well as Of the farmers.
Prominent men in all walks OF life have
been involved, their names being used in
some cases simply to lend respeetablity
The board believes i'll will be able to
prosecute successfully. Some time ago,
it was announced. a ruling that no pro-
posed joint stock land bank will be char
tered if it has spent money for promo
ton. This was designed to hold the ex
pense OF operation down to minimum
in order that the interest rates to farm
ers may be the lowest possible In the
face OF this ruling, it is said, promoters
have continued to sell stock in proposed
land banks and to take parts OF the pro-
ceeds for their own services.
One of these concerns failed before it
could ever have applied for charter,
but ii had sold stock to the amount of
several hundred thousand dollars to
farmers. In many cases the stock has
been sold with the understanding that
the company is to apply for charter un-
der the new federal law, when there
has been no such contention on the part
Of the promoters.

near the drawbridge on the long fill of
the Rutland railroad last Sunday morn
ing, was found yesterday by party of
searchers, who have kept at work since

SPECTATOR KILLED.
And Many People Were Wounded ir
Bayonne Riot,

| Bayonne, n. j., Oct. l3.--One man wa
killed and at least score wounded, tive
of them seriously SO they are not expect
ed to live, in pitched battle here lat,
yesterday between striking employees o.
the Standard Oil company and the police
New Jersey militiamen, back from duty
along the Mexican border, who were
sworn in as special policemen, aided in
dispensing the rioters, who were terroriz
ing the city by looting and burning.
Half a dozen sheds overlooking the oil
retineries were set on fire before the au.
| thorities could restore semblance OF
order by firing volleys into the ranks OF
the strikers and their sympathizers.
Isidor Natlsky, p years old, a lawyer
who had no part in the rioting yesterday
was the man killed. He was shot through
the back, while running from the scene
of the battle. Harris Martin, 10, and
Edward Green, 80, both shot, will die.
Five others are in hospitals suffering
from wounds but are expected to recov-
er. The police report that more than
a dozen strikers and their sympa athizers
who were injured were carried to their
homes. As far as could be learned, none
of the policemen or the miltiamen was
hurt. A fireman, however, was shot ear
lier in the day, while attempting to at
tach hose to hydrant in an effort to
drive away a crowd which, it was said,
was attempting to loot and wreck several
stores.
Attempts at sniping from house tops,
and report that the strikers had pur
chased many revolvers in Jersey City
led the authorities to take drastic action.
As soon as they were reinforced by the
militiamen, the police took thirty strik
ers and started off to raid the saloons
which had denied an order to close.
AS the advance guard entered the
strike area they were met tF missiles
from roofs and doorwsys. They immedi-
ately opened fire, which was returned by
the strikers and their sympathizers. The
latter, enraged by the fight with the po
lice Wednesday night in which one wom
an was killed and many of their number
wounded had announced that the police
who attacked them would come back
in boxes"
The militiamen formed one of several
columns directed by the police to sur
round the strikers and their sympathiz-
ers. The shooting began as soon as the
columns closed in on the rioters.
So serious had the situation become
last night that the Bayonne Business
Mems association announced its members
all would close their stores during the
continuation of the strike. They asked
for police protection. As grocery stores,
which had been patronized by the strik
ers, are to be included in the closing,
trouble is feared.
