MANY IN DANGER OF AsPHyxIATIoN
Lights Left Burning in Brooklyn Ward Go
Out When Pressure Is Off.

Through the escape Of Illuminating gas In
their homes early yesterday morning many res
idents of the Thirteenth Ward, in Brooklyn,
narrowly escaped asphyxiaton- The accioent
was caused by the removal of the gas pressure
which extinguished all the lights left burning
low in houses and stores. AS soon as the pres
sure was restored the gas escaped gradually
and wherever gas had been left burning the
rooms were so filled with gas that 1T was I'M
possible to enter them until they were cleared
When the accident was discovered the ponce
aroused the inmates of all the dwellings in the
neighborhood.
The supply of gas in the district comes from
the tanks in Kent-ave. and North Thirteenth
st The first news received by representatives
of the company that anything was wrong came
when complaints of the extinguish1ng OF the
gas were sent in from several hotels. The en-
tire flow of gas was at once cut Off and a state
ment of the situation was sent to the ponce
who hustled from house to house to awaken the
inmates.
It was said that the cutting off of the pres
sure was due to a large quantity or water
running into the gas MAN, which caused tne
lights to go out when the flow was cut on Tne
flow was resumed after the water had run OIL

Jerome said, that is the most important action

Because it shows that General Greene is aware
Of the rotten spots in the department. Mr. Jerome
replied And when those rotten men who make
the rotten spots feel his knowledge. change Will
come that will do much to make the Commission
er's job an easy one Just long as those men
felt that their chief had come from civil life and
didn't know things, they just played along and
waited. General Greene has put his finger on the
main method of corruption in the department
There is doubt that other methods will be de-
vised but in the time a great step has been
made
do you think there is much corruption in the
department there year and a half ago!'

Il think there's d good deal of corruption and
