FATHER TOO DRUNK
TO LITTLE GIRL

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-Prohibi-
ton came too late to save four-year-
old Virginia Young.
Her body dishgured with fearful
burns, she died yesterday in the Sa-
maritan Hospital. Her father, Robert
Young. is now awakening TO realiza-
ton OF little Virginia's fate and his
own part in her tragic death.
With his senses clearing from the
effects of a weekend spree, Young
now knows that his light-haired.
laughing girl would be alive and well
il he had not been too stupefied 10
smother the flames which enveloped
her.
The mother in her anguish will not
be comforted by her two other small
children. She clings to a picture of
her little one, which she will not let
out of her hands even for a moment.
When Virginia rushed into the par
lor OF the home with her clothing
afire she screamed to her father, who
was sitting only a few feet away, to
save her. He failed to comprehend.
her danger.
The little girl flung herself into a
Morris chair and tried to stifie the
blaze. Neighbor women, attracted by
her cries. could not extinguish the
flames. which spread to the chair and
threatened to set fire to the house.
The blaze was finally put out by Po--
Iiceman Otto Steinbach, who lives
nearby. He wrapped the child in
rug and took her in an automobileSto
the hospital.
Young. meanwhile, sat in one cor
ner OF the room, oblivious to every
thing that was happening. He had
been to the QUOT club in the Vici-
ity. nearly all the night before. where
he celebrated the passing OF rum.
He was arrested later and passed
the night still in a stupoT. Young
did not come to his senses until yes
terday, when he faced Magistrate
Carson. who told him OF his part in
the death of his child.
Played With Matches
Virginia had been playing with
matches with several other children
near her home and her dress caught
fire
There are two other children in the
family One is a baby and the other
a girl OF seventeen years.

REPRESENTATIVE

HOME IN ALABAMA
tsr nosmHo -ouRHAL SPECIAL LsAssb WIRE,

teY nosSiHo -ouRnAL SPECIAL LsAsEb ~iREi
Gadsden, Ala, May 13.-Represent-
ative John l.. Burnett of the Seventh
Alabama district, for several years one
of the leading members of the house
and chairman of the committee on
immigration in the last house, died
suddenly tonight at his home near
here.
Mr.. Burnett was one of the older
mer. bers of the house, having been
elected to the Fifty-siXth congress and
reelected to each succeeding con-
gress, including the Sixty sixth which
will convene Monday In the last con-
gress he was chairman of the house
immigration committee, which with
the cessation of hostilities and the taxi
ing up of reconstruction legislation,
became one of the most important
committees. Late in the last session
Mr. Burnett introduced bills for depor-
tation of dangerous aliens and for the
stopping of all immigration four years
after the declaration of peace.
1t was thought that because of his
activities in behalf of the two bills,
Mr.. Burnett was included in the list of
more than a dozen high government
officials to who Internal machines
recently were mailed. The bomb ad-
dressed to the Alabama congressman
was received at his home here and
only difficulty in opening the pack
age experienced by Mr.. Burnett and
his son probably saved him from seri-
Gus injury or probable death.
Representative Burnett was born in
Cedar Bluff, Ala, in 1854. He is sur
vived by his widow and one son.

RAILROAD OFFICIALS
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
ON RAILS CONTRACT

Washington, May 1S.-Bids for
100000 tons Of steel rails were asked
today by the railroad administration
in line with Director General Hines
announcement of policy after the
final disagreement on a standard
price in conference last week with
steel producers. The bids will be
received next Saturday and contracts
will be let at once.
In view of the controversy between
the railroad administration and the
defunct industrial board of the de-
partment of commerce over steel
prices unusual interest attaches to
the bids. The standard price for
open hearth steel rails as announced
by the industrial board is SAT a
