Accident Occurs In Presence of Vic tim's Parents and Family, who Have Close Call From a Similar Fate. Burns So Severe Mrs. Connors Lives Only Short Time. Omaha, Aug. 15. Writhing In agony, with her entire body burned almost to a crisp, Mrs. Jessie Con nors died at St. Joseph's hospital. She was the victim of a kerosene explo sion at her home. The accident happened when Mrs. Connors, wanting to burn Bomo papers In a coal stove, started to pour kero sene on them. It is supposed there waB a hot coal In tho grate, which ignited the oil, causing the can which she was holding to explode, covering her whole body with burning oil. The mother of the deceased woman, Mrs. Anna L. Blaln; her sister, Mrs. Frank Berry, and her father F. M. Blaln, a man of seventy-one yenrs, were all in tho kitchen at the time of the tragedy. The burning oil wns thrown over the entire room, setting it ablaze, but in a miraculous man ner the terrified witnesses were un touched. Screaming with pain, Mrs, Connors ran to her bedroom, where she at tempted to extinguish the flames by roling on her bed. Tho horrified mem bers of the family went to her assist ance and tore tho burning clothing from off her. Hardly a portion of her body was untouched. In endeavoring to aid his daughter, Mr. Blaln was severely burned on the hands. None of the other members of the family were Injured. DUTY OF CHIEF TO ACT Attorney General Also Puts Responsi bility Upon Mayor. Lincoln, Aug. 15. Attorney General Thompson, in a communication to Gov ernor Shallenberger, says he Is un able to discover in the statute any law which provides that tho police boara of Omaha is directed to enforce the law. For that reason he has not In stituted ouster proceedings ngainst Commissioners Fred Hoye, William E. Hunter and William F. Wappich. It was against these members of the board and Chief of Police Donahue that the governor Instructed the attor ney general to institute quo warranto proceedings because of an allegeifall. ure to enforce the liquor laws in Omaha. A suit was started against Donahue because the legal department holds under the rules of the board he Is responsible for the enforcement of the laws. Mr. Thompson assured the governor in his letter that the law applied to Mayor Dahlman, inasmuch as he is directed by statute to enforre the laws.
