REDDING, Jan. 23.—Elizabeth Smith, bookkeeper in the store of the Nash Mercantile Company of this city, was seriously and probably fatally burned this evening while at work over the books in the store office. She was alone in the office, the store being locked. Flames from a coal oil stove used to heat the place reached her dress and in an instant her clothing was afire. She ran into the store, screaming loudly for help. Joseph Jacobson, who hap- pened to be passing, saw the blaze and hearing the girl's appeal for help, smashed the glass door with his fist, badly cutting his hand, and rolled the girl on the floor. By this time the fire- men had arrived and what clothing had not been burned was torn from the suffering girl. The flames were cxtin- guished and the stove thrown out. The firemen saved the store. Miss Smith was hurriedly taken to her home, where she is now being given every care by surgeons. She is suffering greatly and is badly burned about the arms, body and legs. —_————— PREFERS THE GRAVE TO TERM IN JAIL Contractor of Antioch Who Eloped With Little Girl Fears Prison.

HESS, N Public and Aftorney-at-| 'y m?n'%. Room 1018, Clmw?‘z‘u Telephone Main Mother’s Thirty-Fifth, The long struggle over the election of a chairman for the new Republican County Committee was ended last night. William H. Davis, who contested for the place hotly with Danfel A. Ryan, with the re- sult only of a tie vote, was last night chosen over John D. Daly, who was put into the fight by the Wheelan end of the committee. Ryan had the pleasure of announcing the victory of his erstwhile rival and relinquishing the chair to him, which he did with the utmost good nature and the declaration that the newly elected presiding officer would have his fullest support. As the call of the votes by districts was nearing its end it looked as if the result would be another tie. So close did the result seem that the veteran candi- date of the Thirty-fitth, whose vote had been passed at his own request, rose and announced that he cast it for himself. The result was 43 to 44 in favor of Davis. As it stood 42 to 44 at the time Daly | voted, he could not have changed the re- sult. That the defeat of the fusion ticket in no way diminished enthusiasm in Repub- lican ranks was shown by the almost full attendance of the committee, the only absentees being Bundschu of the Forty- fifth, Cowles of the Forty-fourth and Gerstle of the Forty-first. Davis gained three of the votes in the Twenty-eighth that had previously been cast for Ryan—those of Kilpatrick, Har- rington and Conlon, KNIGHT MES DALY. Upon motion of Fairfax Wheelan, after Temporary Chalrman Ryan had called the meeting to order, the nominations for chairman were reopened and E. D. Knight put the name of John D. Daly before the committee, saying: I expected and hoped -that the Thirty-fith would be able to vote for our present dis- tinguished chairman, sbut that may not be, I will name another who, if length of party | service, tact and high character count for anything, is entitled to the honor. To him I will name the Republican League looked for | guidance during t campaign and he | gave his counsel s assistance.

I name John to the party In th He is the man can carry his par D. Daly. Mr. Ryan here took occasion to formally announce his withdrawal from the con- test. He said: The last time this committee met T was a candidate for chairman, opposed to the dis- tigguished ang-abie-Willlam H. Davis. You saw fit in yolir wisdom to divide your votes, gving as many to Mr. Davis as to me. After the adjournment thers was much said about harmony and I reiteratc now that it is neces: sary for us to haye i Atter the meeting was over we sat down and wrote a letter 5 ybu offering to with- draw in the interests of peace and the good of the party and asked for consideration of the name of another gentieman. He didn't see fit to accept. I for one am out and intend to stay out. In the interests of har- mony and peace in the Republican party I have fully withdrawn. (Applause) It fis not for me to step out one day and back another. When I am out I am out, and when I am in I am {n. You always know where 1 stand. The same reason that existed for our with- drawal then exists now and I think we should step aside and select one for the chairman- ship who from the days of youth to those of his gray hairs has served the party. In vic- tory and defeat there has been none more loyal than John D. Daly.t He has given the best he had for the interests of his party. He has given the counsel born of his vears of wisdom and It would be only a fitting tribute and mark of respect to call him to the chair. 1 here thank those who voted for me and express the kindliest feelings for those who voted against me and withdraw my name. After the applause that followed the close of Ryan’'s remarks had died away Leon Samuels asked to be informed whose names were before the convention, and was told that Davis, who had never with- drawn, and Daly were the only two nomi- nees. DAVIS IS THE WINNER. Fairfax Wheelan seconded the nomina- tion of Daly, saying in part: I rise to second the nomination of John D. I do it Daly in the interest of harmony. for the good of the Republican party. You face a duty to-night that weighs ~equally upon each member of this committee. There is no question but that he is entitied to the honor and the interests of harmony demand that he be chosen. Let us think to-night ot the great movement that is going on through- out the nation for better things, which Is called the second war for Independence. Let us*forget all antagonism and look forward to that bright future for our party and our country and put John D. Daly in the chair as head of our committee. Let us have all the party behind him that we may present a united front and go on to victory, H. N. Beatty said harmony seemed to be the watchword, and suggested another adjournment for two weeks, saying that in the meantime the contest ¢ould be set- tled without any dissension and a chair- man agreed upon. Beatty’s motion was downed with a roar, joined in by both sides. There was evidently a determination to settle the matter then and there. The roll call was ordered and the result was as follows: Davis—Twenty-elghth District, Conlon, Har- rington, Levy Jr., Kirkpatrick; Twenty-ninth, Samuels, Crane, Coilins, Cox, McQueeney: Thirtieth, Pendergast, Roach, McNamara, No- Bickley; Thirty-first, McDonal } Thirty-third, Callaghan , Bowley, Gray; Thirty-fifth, ; Thirty-sixth, Beatty, Burnett, Han- inn; Thirty-seventh, ~ Green, Youn, ’l‘hlrn;:‘:h!h. ayer, M Thirty-ninth, .

S. H. Kent was elected treasurer. The chair was authorized to appoint a committee of five on rules and resolu- tlons within ten days, the committee to report at the next meeting. On motionof Kent the committee thanked Ryan for the efficient manner in which he had presided at its meetings, and he replied by stating that he would always work'in the best interests of the party. An adiournment was taken at the call of the chair. MINIATURE STRIKE AT UNION IRON WORKS Pattern-Makers Demand Ad- vance of Twenty-Five Cents a Day.

PRAGERS LITTLE WOMEN’'S BENEFIT LAST NIGHT A SUCCESS Farce By a Bevy of High School Girls an Exceptionally Clever Performance. “If there's anything prettier in this prosy old world than a lot of fresh, snappy, crisp high school girls doing things for charity—which they com- bine adroitly with fun—it is as yet undiscovered.” So quoth a graybeard i Jast night at the benefit given by the Little Women's Settlement at, Stein- way Hall, and he was amply supported in his verdict by the 300 guests who came to help and to hear. The programme, admirably arranged, was given as follows: Whistling_solo, Miss Cora J. Wiener; recita- tion, little Flcpence Franke n solo, Miss Sally Ehrman; farce, entitled “Six Cups of Chocolate,” by the following students of the Girls High School: M'ss Dorothy Duncombe, Miss Dagmar Games, Miss Mary Noe, Miss Evelyn Cavalli, Miss Marion Turner, Miss Shirley Brown and Miss Gwendolyn Powers; vocal solo, selected, Mrs, E. Blankenburg: Occldental Quartet, selected, Messrs. Logan, Keser, Lewis, Lahi. Notably good was the violin per- formance of Miss Ehrman, who, for one so young, displays much tempera- ment. And as for the girls in the farce, where they all find themselves in love, but all in love with the same gay de- celver, they covered themselves with glory. As for stage business, clever feading and the “zip” of the thing, the work of the schoolgirls was amazingly | good. and was worthy of older heads. After the entertainment many of the guests remained for dancing. —_—————— Secure healthful nutrition by using Lash's Kidney and Liver Bitters. . ——— e WANTS JUNK DEALER ARRESTED — George Nagle, 915 Van Ness avenue, reported to the police yesterday that he took a junk dealer to the yard in the rear of his house to seil him some old clothing valued at $15.
