Boy'|Dies Of
Gasoline Wounds
PAUL BOLTZ BURNED WEDNES-
DAY DIES SATURDAY AFTER
GREAT SUFFERING.

Paul Boltz, the eighteen year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. August Boltz of
North Redwood, died Saturday as the
result of terrible burns which he re-
ceived Wednesday evening. The young
man was filling gasoline tank and
the gas ignited from lantern which
was standing nearby. DR.. ". A.
Brand, who was called Immediately,
reports that two-thirds of the body
skin was burned away and that there
was no possible chance of recovery
from the very first. The lad re-
mained unconscious with the excep-
ton of a short time Friday from the
time of the burning until death came
to relieve him of his sufferings.
When the explosion first occurred
the,boy called to his mother, who was
the only member of the family near
dashed the contents of large pail
of water over him. Had this not
been done it is probable that the boy
would have died before it was pos
sible' to summon medical aid.

M'CALL SELECTION sTIRs.
Republicans in Senate Oppose Him
for Tariff Board.

The nomination of Samuel w. Nc
Call. former Governor Of Massachu-
sets, to be a member of the United
States tariff commission has caused
a considerable stir among the repub-
lican members OF Congress, and also
among other republicans in the SEN
ate. who were friends of John W.
Weeks. former senator from the Bay
state. Opposition 50 Strong that it
will delay copfirm@ I'm of the nomi-
nation and possibly prevent such con-
firmation has developed. it is said.
The opponents of Mccall are lining up
against the nomination on two counts.
One is that he by his course in the
Massachusetts elections in 1918. split
the republican party wide enough to
enable the democrats to elect Senator
David ]. Walsh, defeating Senator
Weeks. Mccall threw his following in
the state to Lawson at the the last
minute, it is charged.
The other count is that Mccall does
not meet republican views on the
tariff issue. that he is inclined to be
for low tariff almost to the extent of
free trade.
The nomination has been referred to
the Senate finance committee, and
may remain before the committee for
long time, it was said today.
