These were the last words of pretty,
little 5-year-old Eva May Dixon, 1912
Jackson street northeast, uttered about
five minutes before she died in Children's
Hospital last night from burns received
near her home late yesterday afternoon
when some gasoline with which she
and some children were preparing to
light Halloween" pumpkin caught
fire.
Bearing up bravely under the intense
pain. the little girl talked steadily with
her father, George Dixon, until shortly
before she died.
Tell Mr.. Snyder I love him. she
said, referring to neighbor of whom
she was fond. Then, after asking her
father to take her home. she asked him
to fed ethe chickens. She always had
watched the chickens eagerly and with
childish glee as they ate.

Eva May, her brother George, 9, and
sister Louise. 6, with some other chill

kin properly followed out, they lighted
a small candle and one of the children
obtained gasoline to make it burn more
brilliantly.
Suddenly the gasoline ignited. All of
the children except Eva May escaped
the flames, but she tripped and fell in
the middle of the burning liquid. Mrs.
Lloyd C. Barnett, 1918 Kearney street
northeast, in whose yard the children
were playing, heard the screams, rushed
out and succeeded in beating out the
flames with her hands, herself sustain

flaming gasoline" Mr.. Barnett related
today. The child was taken first to

SWANSON FOR NAVY
JAS SET BY TREATY
Holiday by Britain and Japan
While U. S. Attains Ratio
Proposed.

By the Associated Press.
A five-year naval holiday by Great
Britain and Japan. while the United
States continues to build her treaty
Navy, is favored by Senator Swanson
Of Virginia.
The ranking Democrat on the Senate
Naval Committee has proposed to
President Hoover that he negotiate such
treaty with the other two signatories
of the London Naval Pact, as means
OF bringing this country up to its al
lotted comparative strength.
Swanson, who in the past has sup
ported liberal appropriations for the
Navy, said a treaty for a holiday OF
this kind is far preferable to small
and sporadic reductions of naval ex-
penditures with no definite end in view
and which will result in putting the
United States at a disadvantage in OBJ
tanning the agreed ratios of the Lon
don treaty"
Outlines Holiday Views.
Pointing out that the world depres-
sion and governmental deficits have
resulted in widespread discussion of a
naval holiday, the Virginia Senator
said
THE United States is, under the
terms of the London conference, in
agreement with Great Britain for equal
ity in naval power and in agreement
with Japan for a substantial ratio in
naval strength of five for the United
States and three for Japan.
In order to get equality with Great
Britain and this ratio with Japan, Great
Britain and Japan consented to less
naval construction until these ratios
were obtained by the United States.
Urges Building Suspension.
Under these circumstances the
United States could and should agree
TO a naval holiday with these nations
provided that the the end of the holiday
the ratios fixed in the London treaty
should be reached and during the years
of the holiday there should be annually
which will require some additional con-
struction and continued modernization
by the United States and maintain
present activities in navy yards"
He urged that this country agree to
a naval holiday with the proviso that
at its end the ratios of the London
treaty should have been reached.
Meanwhile, as the Navy Department
went forward with its attempt to cut
SCI 000, 900 from its 1888 estimated
budget. President Hoover's naval cur
tailment program won It's first Demo-
cratic support. Senator King of Utah
who long has opposed large naval ex-
penditures, also said he hoped a naval
holiday could be negotiated.

Falls Death Warrant?

Although Albert B. Fall. former secretary of the interior, had bis years sentence to penitentiary changed so that he might be imprisoned in New Mexico rather than near Washington, D. C, we wonder if he will ever survive his term. The wasted Fall is reported 10 be tubercular victim. It was even confidentaly stated when he was sen tenced to years imprisonment and fined Sl00.000. the amount of the brbe he was alleged to have received from Edward L. Doheny in the oil lease scandals. that he would never serve his term nor pay his fine, It looks now as if he might start bis term. but probably never will pay his fine.
 All reports state that Fall is not merely broken in health but that the vast fortune which was once his is gone Of course part of it was dissipated in an attempt to extr- cate himself from the web he had spun when he was President Harding 3 interior secretary. He will be confIVd to the state penltentlary at Santa Fe, New Mexico as soon as the necessary papers are signed and transferred. His sentence will read one year and day. The change in prisons necessitates this. Should Fall take the pauper's oath before going to jail he can be released from his fine by serving an add- tional thirty days. This he is expected to do.
 Had Fall been committed to the climate of Washington he certainly would not have survived his prison experience However. he climate of New Mexico is good for tu- bereulsr sufferers and tr former fedaral official may live to become free man again He will be eligible for parol after four
