LITTLE NELL PHILLIPS
DIES FROM BURNS

Nell Phillips, aged seven, died at
the home of his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
C.. G. Phillips, on Frazier street, at
nine O'clock Sunday morning,
He died as the result of burns, ac-
cidentally inflicted on Saturday after
noon as he was playing with several
other children at the home of Mr..
Silas Garrison.
Little Nell was engaged in a game
of marbles, while some of the other
boys discovered some trimmings from
tar paper roof, and started to burn
it. This is highly infammable and
made great blaze, and either in play
or excitement, they threw some it
about, one piece of it striking on
Mells back where the blazing tar
stuck to it, burning him horribly be-
fore it could be extinguished.
He was taken to his home and med
ical aid summoned, and everything
possible done to relieve his sufferings.
Although the burns were extensive
and fearful, he did not complain, and
lay all through the night from the
time of the accident at five o'clock
Saturday afternoon until nine the
next morning, patiently enduring the
pain.
He was rational until the end, and
talked freely with those around, lis
tening to staries being read and other
things done to divert his mind from
the suffering.
He spoke of his teacher and his
playmates, apd the Sunday school,
and his father, mother and brother in
the last hours, and met the end brave
ly. He was an attendant of the Meth
odist Sunday school and the first
grade in the Waterman street city
school.
The interment was in the Phillips
family lot in the city cemetery and the
service was performed by DR.. Handy,
assisted by DR.. White.

LADIES FROM HE'LL ON
WAY TO MARIETTA
Here on Peaceful Mission Thursday,
May 8. 21-Piece Band Will Give
Two Concerts in City Park

When the Scotch Highlanders went
over the top in France, with their
red kilties and cleaning bayonets,
they struck terror to the hearts of
the Germans, and the cry went up,
''the ladies from He'll are coming!"
And now we have to announce that
''the ladies from Help are coming to
Marietta. They will be here Thurs
day, May 9Th, but on a mission Of
peace and joy this time.
We refer to the coming of the
Royal Scotch Highlanders Band, who
use the kiltie uniform so striking in
appearance, wherever they go.
Perhaps we have used some poetic
or profane license when we refer to
them as ''the ladies' of He'll" but we
shall never see a kiltie-clad soldier
again but that the words will come
to our mind. We know that those
in France lived up to the name and
made a reputation for themselves
that will live forever in history
This band which comes to Marietta
is the best of it's type in America.
They carry twenty-one men, and have
solos, quartettes and seXtettes, real
musical treat for the people, and the
only reason that they can afford to
honor US with a visit is that they have
little idle time between the season
at St. Petersburg, Florida, where they
spend the winter, and Atlantic City,
N. j., where they play in the sum-
mer, so that they can stop off at
few places en- route north.
They are stopping here this year
under the auspices of the Girls Pa
triotic League, and will give two
open-air concerts in the park--one at
8 80 in the afternoon and the other
at 500 in the evening.
They are under the direction of
Roy D. Smith, and have with them
the great Scotch tenor, Bobble BroI-
lier, who is second only to the world
famous Harry Lauder.
The girls propose to use tags rath-
err than tickets, as the concerts will
be in the open, and will put on an
advance sale of tags, and at the time
of the concerts they will go through
the crowd and sell tags to those not
supplied. The price of the tags will
only be twenty-five cents and this
band will be as entertaining to you
as any grand opera at price of as
many dollars. Having heard the band
at Atlantic City we can give personal
assurance of its quality.
We urge all our friends from the
country to try to see and hear this
lannon's Scotch kiltie band, either in
tbe afternoon or evening. 1t will not
disappoint you. They will be IN town
all ,iay and the uniform IS so striking
as to attract unusual attention, but
not so much as the quality of the
music they render.

1t was in wrapper marked from Gin

and Mrs. Harwick was watching to see

TO AMEND
THE CITY CHARTER

One of the city employees this week
circulated petition to repeal that
clause of the city charter which pro-
vides that a mayor may not succeed
himself in Office for third term.
AS it was not presented to us, we
have not been privileged to refuse it
or to sign it, so we conclude that
those interested have not counted US
as favorable to the proposed change.

Washington, Jan. 1S,-1nterests con-
trolling American railroad properties do
not expect the government TO guarantee
return on their investment II the roads
go back TO private operation under the
plan proposed to Congress by the Asso-
citation of Railroad Executives
This point was emphasized before the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee
today by Alfred J.. Thom. counsel for the
executives. who said he wished to cor
rect the general impression that the
railroad managcments were demanding
not only the return of their lines but
guarantee of future earnings.
What We propose" said Mr. Thom,
does not amount to n guarantee. and
we do not expect or want guarantee.
We do not expect the government to
make good for any failures in railroad
management. our proposition is simply
this:
Congress should establish a statutory
rule of rate-making to provide that rates
shall not be only reasonable. but ade-
quate--adcquate to insure proper serV-
lce--a reasonable return on investment
and to attract new capital"
With such a rule laid down. Mr. Thorn
explained, the railroads could continue

Commission. Although he admitted there
was much to the principle contended for
ny government railroad officials that
the power to initiate rates be placed
permanently in the hands of govern
i mental body. he declined to favor it,
The delay which inevitably follows
under suCh n scheme, he argued, would
more than nullify its other features.
Mr.. Thorn said the free flow Of in
Nestmcnt capital into railroad develop-
ment had been checked since 1910 by
