In the parlor, while she went to the shed to get some coal. While in the yard she heard the children scream, and, rush ing back into the house discovered the baby lying on the floor face down, with her clothing on fire. It waa but the work of a few seconds for the mother to tear the burning clothing from the little one and then summon medical assistance. The child was badly burned about the stomach, arms and lower portion of the face, and had Inhaled the flames. On the arival of Drs. Hanchett and Hennessey It waa deemed advisable to take the child to the hospital, but It died In. the ambulance cn route. How the accident happened is 'not known except that during the short absence of the mother from the house, the little boy went Into the kitchen and, climbing upon a chair, secured box of matches from a she'f.

PROBLEM FOB CITY OFFICIALS Give, flapper aad Shelter a4 Will Be Fed la Moralag, hat the Fa ta re Coarse Is as Yet Undecided. About 250 Greek refugees from South Omaha who had sought a haven of safety in Council Bluffs were cared for Tuesday night by the llce. They were quartered In the Auditorium, which waa heated and llgh'ted for their accommodation and In the evening were provided with a supper of hot coffee and bread. Many of the Greek came to this side of the river late Sunday night while the other followed yesterday morning and at Intervals until early In the afternoon the police estimated that there were about 400 of them In the city. What to do With aeveral hundred men, the majority of whom had no place to stay, waa a problem which at once presented Itself to Major George H. Richmond, chief of police. He decided that It would be out of the question to permit thla number of strange men to roam the streets, so detail ing the entire day force of police on the work he hud the Greeks rounded up and escorted to police headquarters. At one pool hall on West Broadway, near the Northweatern tracks, which la con ducted by Greeks, over 100 of the refugees were found congregated. These aa a starter, were eacorted to police headquarters and then the officers went out to round up more. From the other pool rooms run by Greeks and from the railroad yarda nearly J00 more refugees were gathered together and taken to police headquarters where they filled the large patrol room and the two, floors of the city Jail. The men were perfectly tractable and evidently realized that the authorities of this city were disposed to treat them prop erly and wsre anxious to provide them shelter for the time being. Through an In terpreter Major Richmond made known to the refugees that he could not permit them to wander about the streets and that ho would try to make arrangementa for some place where they could atay over night. After a conference with several of the dlrectois of the Auditorium company ar rangements were roade to house the refugees in the large auditorium blinding for the night. Fifty gallons of coffee were ordered from a nearby restaurant and thla,' together with plenty of bread, waa served to the refugees at the auditorium at o'clock last evening. Officers were placed on guard at the building to ace to It that the men remalred there. After they had been gathered at police headquarters a number of the refugees ex pressed a desire to leave for other cities where they had friends or where they ex pected to secure work. About 100 In all left In the afternoon and evening for Lin coln, Plattamouth, Do Moines, Denlson and Kansas City. Each batch was escorted to the depots by members of the police force, who stayed with them until they boarded the trains. None of the refugees, aa far as It could be learned, expressed any wish to return to South Omaha. But few of the refugees were armed, as from the nearly 400 men taken to police headquarters the officers secured but four teen revolvers, twenty-one razors and two dirk knives. One man, when asked If he had any weapon concealed on his person, produced a pair of curling tongs. Chief Richmond stated last evening that the re volvers would be confiscated. The men will be provided with another meal of coffee and bread at the auditorium, but what disposition will be made of the refugees after that Is a problem which the city authorities will be called upon to solve this morning. Most of the Greeks seemed grateful for the treatment accorded them, and although nominally under guard at the auditorium, were evidently perfectly willing to adapt themselves to the circumstances. Among the refugees were a number of youths, some of them mere boys. Many of the refugees were laborers from the packing houses and railroad yards in South Omaha, It Is said that most of them had more or less money with them. A few among the number were well dressed. Late In the night prominent men among the Greeks In Omaha came over to Council Bluffs and arranged for board and lodging at hotels for their fellow countrymen until they could be permanently cared for else where.

COWVEttTIO OF RURAL CARRIERS Good Road the Borden of Most of the Addresses. W. H. James of Council Bluffs was re elected president of the Pottawattamie County Rural letter Carriers' association at the annua) convention of the orgnnlxa tion held yesterday at Neola. Other officers re-elected were William Betters of Dum fries, first vice president; N. H. Chrlsman of Neola, second vice president, and George F. Hehle of Council Bluffs, secretary treasurer. The following directors were elected: Car rier Hibblta of Neola, for the three-year term; Carrier Jacobsen of Council Bluffs, for the two-year term; Carrier Overturf of Shelby county, whose route Is mainly In Pottawattamie county, for the one-year term. It was unanimously ' voted to hold the convention In 1K10 In Council Bluffs and February 52 waa fixed as the date for the meeting. Despite the Inclemency of the weather there was. a. good attendance, there being twenty-two rural mall carriers and several postmasters from surrounding towns pres ent. 1 The address of welcome was made by William Felton of Neola and was responded to by James Melsner of Council Bluffs. J. G. Bardslcy, postmaster of Neola, de livered an address on postal savings banks and parcels post, commending both propo sitions. M. A. Hubbell of Weston, who has the distinction of being the only rural mall carrier to make his route in an automobile, spoke on "Rural Free. Delivery Service With an Auto." Mr. Hubbell said that automobiles would be practicable for such service in the future when the country roads should be brought to a higher de gree of excellence, but admitted that the automobile was a somewhat hazardous and questionable proposition at present. N. A. Crawford, a member of the Council Bluffs newspaper fraternity, took the place of Victor E. Bender on the program and gave an Interesting talk cn "The Press and Rural Delivery." The balance of the meeting was devoted to the discussion of "Good Roads," a strong addiees on this subject, which Is paramount with rural mall carriers, being made by President James. L. G. Merrill, editor of the Neola Gazette-Reporter, discussed the question, "Rural Delivery Service and Good Roads." He said that the agitation of this question by the rural carriers had done more than anything else to open the eyes of the people to the necessity for Improve ment in the condition of the public high ways. Before the meeting adjourned Secretary Hehle was presented with a handsome fountain pen by the member.1. MATTERS IX THE3 DISTRICT COIHT Arthar Edmonds Get Ten Year In the Anamoaa Reformatory. Arthur Edmonds of Glenwood, convicted In the district court last week of enticing two young girls Into a house of 111 repute, was sentenced yesterday morning by Judge Thornell to the reformatory at Anamosa for an Indeterminate term not exceeding ten years. Sentence was pnssed after a motion for a new trial had been overruled by the court. - A Edmonds Is 'only 27 years of age, It was necessary that the court send him to the reformatory as, under the new law, the minimum age for the penitentiary at Fort Madison Is 30 years. After sentence had been pronounced, Edmonds waa placed on the stand by his attorneys and under oath stated to the court that he was without funds and could not secure the money needed for the transcript of the evidence In his case In furtherance of an appeal to the supreme court. Judge Thornell then ordered that the transcript of the evidence and other expenses con nected with the appeal be borne by the county. Walter Goodwin, the "boy burglar," who confessed to a long series of burglaries and who pleaded guilty to breaking Into and robbing the Hanna residence on South Tenth street, waa also given an Inde terminate sentence of ten years In the Anamosa reformatory. The trial of George W. Pruitt, charged with slashing his brother-in-law, Nell Walter, across the abdomen with a razor at the latter' home on Franklin avegue, wa begun yeaterday, Walters, while on the witness stand removed a portion of his clothing so that the Jury might see the wound alleged to have been inflicted by Pruitt. The nature of the wound was ex plained to the Jury by City Physician Tubba. who had attended Walters. Pruitt waa. Indicted on a charge of assault with Intent to commit murder.

'M: 4- -sWr- v.? 1 fnnnne s ' 'i OFF DAY FOR LEGISLATURE Little Doing on Account of Bay Being a Holiday. ATTACK OH BOARD OF CONTROL ramabiet laae4 by Fort Madison Doctor After It Had Been flap oe the Fight Had Been Settled. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DES MOIXK8. Feb. 2.-(8peclal.)-Owlng to '.he day being a holiday little waa done in the legislature. The house held a fore noon session and the senate in the after noon. A mild sensation was created by the fact that a number of pamphlets made their appearame among the members today, coming from Fort Madison, In which Is printed a series 'of savage attacks upon the Stat Board of Control, and formal an nouncement Is made of the candidacy of ex-Warden Jones for the place on the state board soon to be vacant or filled by reap pointment. This pamphlet Is printed by Dr. Neal, who was a disappointed applicant for prison physician, and It consists largely of the aeries of special articles which he aent out with regard to the Fort Madlsbn prison. It was supposed for a time that the effort to effect a change In the state board because of the troubles at the prison would be given up, but it now appear that the attack Is to be renewed. State to Build Highways. A bill introduced today contemplates that the state Ittelf shall set a good example in the matter of building highways at the state farms and It requires tint the state shall Improve the highways adjoining the various state farms. The state has about T.00O acrea at the Institutions. The work done by the slate has been largely by the inmates. A bill by Jones contemplates the purchase of an oil painting of Governor Carroll for $450 and a photographic group of the mem bers of the legislature for $150 to be placed in the historical department. Itesrnlate Railroad Employment. A bill Introduced by Mr. Goodykoont regulates the number of men In a train crew. It provides that for every freight train there shall be at least five persons In the crew and if more than fifty car, then six persons. A train crew for a pas senger train shall consist of at least five persons. Gnlde Board Law No Good. The house decided today that the law requiring township trustees to put up guide boards and signs at every mile Is of no use, and changed the law so that the plac ing of such signs shall be merely optional. The statement was made that the law Is not now enforced. The house passed senate bills to regulate the number of codes to be distributed free In the state, to revise the law as to motor vehicles, to give park commissioners power to pave near parks, and In regard to affi davits in assessment; also, house bills, to provide for an assessor outside of a town, and to add "rooming houses" to the law In regard to hotels. The aenate defeated a bill to authorize Insurance of -doctors," dentists and drug gists against damageaults or loss "in con sequence. of error .or, mistake in the treat ment of patients or the compounding of drugs." o; The bill had been reported favorably, but received only five votes.-' The senate passed a bill to appropriate $1,000 to aid In build ing a dam across the' Iowa river at the Soldiers' Home. The aenate also passed a bill to forbid the sale of liquor to persons who have taken treatment at any institu tion for the drink habit Too Many Holiday. Despite the fact that today wa a legal holiday, George Washington's birthday waa not observed in the schools of the city. Lesson went on as on every other day and no reference to "The Father of His Country" waa made. The school board de cided there had been too many legal holi days. Including Lincoln day. There was no display on the downtown streets and the city had the appearance of having evi dently forgotten to celebrate. Midwinter Degree nt Iowa. IOWA CITT, Ia Feb. 23.-(Speclal.)-State Senator A.

"When," he said, "the Allison refunding amendment was presented It waa charac terized by not a few prominent membera of congresa as a 'rainbow chaser.'
