CHICAGO, Octob& STA Chronicle
special sayt: Ia some sections Of Hyde

who retire for the night and leave
their gas burning low arc In rs much
danger as N they were sleeping In n
grove Of deadly upns trees. The gas
furnished by the Mutual Fuel Gas
company IL said TO have caused already
more than fifty deaths within the last
twelve months, Hundreds Of people
have had narrow escapca from death,
and many persons who havD been
found dead In their rooms with the gas
Jet turned on have been reported as
suicides by the police and coroner,
when II Is now believed that thelr
deaths were due to the careless ness OF
the Mutual company. The deaths, or
many OF them, have been caused In
this manner: The supply OF illuminat-
Ing gas sent through the pipes OF this
company has for days been 30 small

up now and then from lighted Jets.
Often no flame NJ all was produced.
This was caused by tho pressure going

would go 10 bed ut night and leave
gas Jet lighted and turned low.
During the night pressure through
the maine would so down and the light
at the Jet would 40 out. Atterward
the pressure would come up and again
gas would pour out through the open

light whatever. 1t Ia when this blue
flame comes IN contact with n small

flame Ia feeble slight breeze will

room.
Complaints have been numerous

When II II considered that the larg.

"A sum somewhat less than half the cost
OF the Capitol or Of the large building
