ner was playing with her dolls in front
of an open crate in her home at 1923
Eighth street northwest yesterday aft
ernoon her dress caught fire.
She ran screaming into the arms of her
mother. who exposed herself to severe
burns in trying to save the life of her
daughter. When the flames were ex-
tinguished the mother carried the uncon-
scious girl into the street and hailed a
passing automobile, in which a hurried
trip was made to George Washington
University Hospital
The clothes of the child had been prac-
dcally burned off, and she was badly
burned from head to foot. The physi-
clans made every effort to save the girl
but failed. She died in two and a half
hours after being admitted.
While the child was in the operating
room the mother screamed in her anguish
and pied to be allowed to see her daugh-
ter. The nurses restrained her and she
was not permitted to see the girl until
she was breathing her last. She rushed
into the operating room and fell fainting
upon the form of her daughter
The little girl was the daughter of Rus

RUMORS OF TUMULTY
RESIGNING PERSIST
Newman Now Named, However, as
Possible Successor.

series OF denials-unofficial official
and hearsay-followed the publication of
the rumOr in The Washington Herald yes
terday that Secretary to the President
Joseph P. Tumulty would sever his con-
aection with the White House in the
near future.
None of the denials however, was au-
thentic or specific enough to offset the
fact that in Congressional circles the in
formation was accepted as fact.
The resignation rumor was not offered as
any reflection on the Secretary OF his
relations with the President. 1t was gen.
orally admitted that the relations be-
tween President Wilson and his Secretary
are most cordial, but close friends to the
Secretary declared he has received a
business offer that is mucn more ad-
vantageous in monetary way than his
present position, and it was taken for
granted he would accept the offer.
District Commissioner Louis Brownlow
disclaimed any knowledge of his re-
moval to the White House as a successor
to Tumulty, but those who profess to
have authentic information declare that
Commissioner Newman may be the Of
fetal in mind. In both cases the an
pointment of Superintendent of Police
Raymond Pullman as Commissioner was
suggested.

PRESIDENT INSISTS
ON RAILROAD PROGRAM
Rejects Compromise Legislation Pro-
posed by Railroad Brotherhoods.

President Wilson will confer with Con-
Gressional leaders and insist upon the ps s.
sage of his original railroad program oy
Congress. despite apparently insurmount-
able obstacles, 1t became known last
night.
The President has definitely rejected
the railroad brotherhoods' proposal that
he abandon his compulsory mediation
plan TO end strikes and accept their plan
Of a joint commission to mediate With
out power to enforce its rulings. The
President will vigorously press for an
early consideration and will try TO gain
support from quarters now believed to be
opposed to the proposed measures
Just what the Presidents attitude will
be upon the matter Of an extra session
in the event Of the failure of his pro-
gram to get through at the present short
session, is not definitely known.
1t was understood last night that ad-
ministration leaders in the House will
confer further with labor leaders in an
effort to reach a compromise that will
satisfy both the President and the broth
erhoods. II was stated authoritatively
that no action will be taken TO amend the
existing eight-hour law until the cousti-
tutionality Of the measure has been

PEACE IN SIGHT,
WILSON THINKS
Encouraged by Reception Ac.
corded Idea-Awaits
Germany's Move.

President Wilson was last night salts
fled that his latest peace move has forced
an immense stride toward the settlement
of the European war. The President and
his advisers were almost enthusiastic
over the developments among the entente
allies regarding the Presidents League
to Enforce Peace program. They de-
clared that only a forward step by the
|Germanic allies was necessary TO start
the world on the high road to peace
within reasonable time.
The administration looks for definite ac-
ton from Germany on the Presidents
latest peace proposal almost Immediately.
The President and his advisers believe
that the conference OF Teutonic leaders
at German field headquarters on the oc-
day will result in a definite peace move.
Unofficial advices from the Teutonic
powers have recorded the development of
a strong public sentiment for peace. and
the apparent willingness of the German
government to talk peace terms since the
beginning Of the peace discussions. Is ex-
peCted to result in a more or less definite
Endorsement of the Presidents plan
President Encouraged.
The official Endorsement of the League
to Enforce Peace Plan and the peace
terms demanded by President Wilson in
his Senate speech, by the Russian govern
ment, encouraged the President greatly.
This Endorsement, coupled with advice.
that public gatherings in England and
France had demonstrated their indorse-
ment of the plan, and that sentiment in
Italy strongly favored the President s
proposals, was accepted as showing
clearly the development of a real peace
sentiment among the entente powers for
the first time since the President initiated
his peace movement.
In this connection diplomatic Wash
ington pointed out as significant the fact
that the Russian peace statement makes
three separate declarations from the en-
tente powers on peace.
The first, formulated at Rome in reply
to the Presidents peace note, was sup
posed to represent the views of all of the
entente powers. But Great Britain found
1t necessary, to make her own position
clear outside of the joint note, and the
Balfour note was forwarded to the Presi-
dent
The Russian statement differing from
both OF these. is plainly the mVet favor
able peace declaration from any OF the
entente powers.
II was pointed out that these different
viewpoints demonstrate at least that the
entente powers are giving serious consid-

BATTLE OF THE COW"

Heifer Wanders Into Mexico and

CBy the International New, Scr

San Antonio. Texas, Jan. N.-The battle
OF the COW will go down in history, That
title embraces the sum and substance of
the embroglio raging along the border AT
Ruby. Ariz., between Carranzista soldiers
and Mexican vacqueros on one side and
American COW punchers and Utah guards
men on the other. Brig. Gen. E, III.
Plummer, commanding the Tucson district,
made report to Maj. Gen. Funston to-
night.
yearllng heifer on the Arizona side
near Ruby crossed the international boun-
dairy. American cow-men pursued her
aid trespassed on Mexican soil. Mexican
vacqueros told the Gringoes to go back.
The Americans hesitated. Three Sonora
Indians, wearing Carranza uniforms, ap-
peared and fired on the cowboys.
The Americans sent for military helm
and eight members of Troop E, First
Utah Cavalry, responded Meanwhile
-shots were exchanged. The heifer crossed
back to the American side of the border

TO LEAVE MEXICO
Orders to Evacuate Issued to
Pershing and Force.

Definite orders for the withdrawal OF
Gen Pershing's Expeditionary Force
from Mexican territory have been dis
patched, It was learned authoritatively
here last night.
War Department officials were unwil-
ling to admit that definite orders had
gone forward and studiously avoided dis
cussion of the Mexican situation. 1t was
understood, however, that complete or
ders. covering every phase of the with
drawal program had been framed.
The Secretary of War refused to dis
cuss the troop movements, even in the
face of border reports announcing the
transfer of Pershing's headquarters and
the advance base from Colonia Dublan
to Ojo Federico, eighty miles north. This
evoked the suggestion that the final
orders might be embodied in a series of
orders arranging the stages of the with
drawal from base to base, and that the
actual order to cross the international
boundary line might not be made public
until the force was within immediate
touch with the border.
At the close of the War Department 8
business day army officers said, with
great frankness. that IL orders had gone
from the department, they had been dis
patched directly to Gen. Pershing and
had not passed through the normal de-
partmental channels.
Senior Luis Cabrera, secretary of finance
in Carranza's cabinet created a surprise
at the State Department by calling for
mally to bid his official farewell. He told
Acting Secretary Polk he was going di-
rectly to Mexico. Cabrera had repeated
ly asserted during the conferences of the
Mexican-American Commission that he
had no intention of returning to Mexico.
He paid his respects to Counselor Frank
l. Polk In the absence of Secretary of
State Lansing.
