BURNS TWO
BABIES
Makes OiI-Soaked Torch Of
Infants Badly Scared
Herself.

UTE, Iowa, Dec. 2S.-Mrs. Fred
Vauss, under hospital care for
burns on her face and neck, sought
in vain today for an answer to her
question: Where are my >babies?'
A three-month-old baby and Eldor,
fifteen months old, were dead after
their mothers insane frenzy had
converted the smallest child into an
oil soaked torch and imprisoned the
older brother, with his sister, Irene,
oil-soaked clothing.
The mothers mind was a blank
concerning the tragedy, hospital at
tendants believed.
Fred Vauss, father of the fire
victims, said he was working in
the barn yard Of their farm home
when Mrs. Vauss wrapped the baby
in blankets, laid 1t on the bed,
poured kerosene over it's clothing
and set fire to it, then poured oil
over clothing In closet, set 1t
ablaze and locked Eldon and Irene
in.
The little girl broke the lock on
the closet door and. escaped from
the flaming room. The father broke
a closet window and got Eldon out,
but the boy died from his burns in
a hospital.
The father attempted to reach
the baby's blazing form on the
bed with a rake, but the bed was
too far from the window and the
flames made it impossible to enter
the room.

new SHIP BOARD
PLAN GIVEN
COOLIDGE
Senator Jones Outlines Scheme
for Unified Control and
Replacement.

A comprehensive program for
rehabiIitating the American mer-
chant marine and placing it upon a
higher plane of efficiency. COM
mensurate with the needs Of the
country, was outlined to President
Coolidge today by Senator Jones
(Rep) of Washington, chairman of
the Senate Commerce Committee
Jones recommended four ajor
plans, as follows:
1. Extension Of the coastwise
shipping laws to the Philippines.
2. Unification Of the control Of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation.
8. Closer cooperation of rail and
water transportation interests.
4. Creation Of committee com
posed of one or more representa-
tives of the Shipping Board and
the secretaries of war, navy and
commerce to formulate a policy and
draw up plans for improving the
merchant marine.
IF we are to have q permanent
merchant marine a careful and ex-
pert survey Of our commercial and
defense shipping needs should be
made to determine at least the
minimum of ships we must have
and to what extent new and modern
ships must be provided" Jones said.
Need New Ships Soon.
Our ships are deteriorating fast
A plan Of replacement must be
formulated, approved and entered
upon without delay. If private
capital does not take over the routes
we are operating and building ships
to take the place Of those that be-
come obsolete. the Government must
do it or we will soon revert to the
place on the sea we had when the
war broke out.
"If the condition of these services
is uncertain, business will not wait
for our ships to stop running, but
will inevitably go to our competitors
ahead of their decay. Congress has
solemnly declared 1t ito be the policy
of the United States to do whatever
may be necessary to develop and en-
courage the maintenance of mer-
chant marine of the best equipped
and most suitable types of vessels
sufficient to carry the greater por-
ton Of it's commerce and serve as a
naval or military auxiliary in times
of war or national emergency.
"A special committee should be set
up to make this survey, formulate a
policy and submit detailed plan
with the cost, if it must be carried
out by the Government, so that you |
may be in a position to make a, con- |
crete recommendation to Congress. |
This committee should be made up |

1t is understood majority of

acceptance Of the designations is
imperative while others claim the

Goto's Career Ruined.
One of the most tragic results of
the young college boys attempt to

Of the meteoric career Of Viscount
Shimpei Goto. home minister and
liberal, who was apparently destined

sponsibility as home minister, Goto
was the first cabinet member to offer
his resignation.
Today twenty anti-reds attacked
policemen guarding his home. They
succeeded in breaking into the house
and doing considerable damage.
claiming Viscount Goto was blamable
for yesterdays attack.
Liberalism Forgotten.
All Of Goto's liberalism, high stand.
ing, attempts at friendship toward
Russia and advocacy of universal
suffrage were forgotten by the
Japanese masses today because many
believe he encouraged socialistic
thought.
More sober-ninded minority realize
he was one Of the most faithful OF
officials, but his public career is gen.
orally believed ended.
