BURNS CAUSE
DEATH OF TWO
YEAR-0LD BOY
Twin Son Of Mrs. Katherine
Delaney Burned When Bed.
ding Catches Fire

Funeral services were held At the
Perry Funeral parlors here this aft
ernoon for Ray, 2-year-old twin
son of Mrs. Katherine Delaney, who
died as the result of burns received
early Monday morning at. the De-
laney farm home one mile north
east of this city.
The boy had q severe cold and
during the night had been inhaling
fumes from a small lamp made es-
pecially for that purpose. Awaken
ing at an early hour just after his
mother had left the room and gone
downstairs, the boy pulled the lamp
from the table into bed and it set
fire to the bed clothing. In trying
to get away from the flames the
lad became entangled in the bedding
and was terribly burned about the
hands and face before his mother
was able to reach him.
Operation Of light plant in the
basement prevented her from hear
ing his screams and she knew moth
ing of the fire until she saw smoke
coming from the second floor. The
flaming bed clothes were thrown
out Of the house Immediately and
no other damage was done by the
blaze.
Ray was brought to local hos
pital Immediately but his burns
were so serious that he was unable
to survive.
Besides his mother. he leaves two
csckn
parents, and an uncle. The Rev.
Paul S. Wright officiated at the
funeral services today and inter-
ment was in Fairview cemetery.
Mrs. Delancy's husband, who was
an employee of the closed bank re-
ceiver's office here. died suddenly a
year or SO ago while away on a
business trip, and a baby born soon
after her husbands death also
passed away a short time later.

DEPUTIES ARE
EJECTED FROM
DIET CHAMBER
Wild Disturbance Marks Open
ing Of New Polish Diet
by Pilsudski

Warsaw, Poland, March 2S.-4RA
A wild disturbance and the forcible
election Of several deputies marked
the opening Of the new Polish diet
yesterday.
When Premier Pilsudski, substi-
tuting for the president, entered the
chamber with the presidential
decree in his hands, communists and
radical Ukrainians shouted wildly:
"Down with terror. Down with
counterfeited election results"
The premier met the challenge by
announcing that unless quiet were
restored the boisterous deputies
would be thrown out. The uproar
continued and, at . signal from Pill
sudski q patrol Of police entered
and hauled out seven deputies, who
were leaders Of the disturbance.
This was done amid violent strug-
giles and protests.
The appearance Of police in the
hall Of the diet for the first time in
Polish history Immediately aroused
resentment. The reading Of the
presidential decree and the swearing
in Of the deputies was carried out in
q heated atmosphere. The session
then adjourned.
Dispositions Taken
In the meantime the seven ousted
deputies were taken to the police Of
flee where dispositions were taken
and then brought back to the diet.
The diets feelings were 30 much
reused that, while it appeared GER
tain in the morning that Vice Pre-
mier Bartel, Pilsudski's candidate
for speaker, would be elected, the
members turned him down and
elected instead Daszynski, q, social
list, by FOG to 1872. Thereupon- the
government and members Of the
government bloc quit the hall.
While the diet was suspended, the
senate quietly opened and elected
the government candidate, Szyman-
ski, speaker. The thre. vice speak
crs elected included Hispolyte Civic,
former commercial attache in the
United States.
