GAS KILLS MOTHER AND CHILD
Half Inch Pipe Left %Uncapped When Gas
Was Turned On in Their Fiat.

Sarah f. Jameson, AZ years old, and her
daughter, Dorothy, 3 years old, who lived
at 1921 Simpson street, The Bronx, were
asphyxiated by illuminating gas yester-
day. Mrs. Jameson was the wife of Joseph
j. Jameson. The family moved into the
fiat on Monday. Jameson returned home
at 6:15 o'clock last evening and when he
opened the door found the gas so strong
that he could not enter.
He rushed down TO a saloon and got Otto
Lux, a waiter, and the two worked their
way into the apartment. They found Mrs.
Jameson lying on the floor in a bedroom,
her right hand resting on the sill of a win
dow.
The little girl was on the bed. Both were
dead. The mother had evidently realized
the peril and tried to crawl to the window.
She was only partly dressed, and the police
believe that she had lain down with her
daughter to take an afternoon nap.
The gas company had men at work in
the apartment in the afternoon putting in a
new meter and connecting the pipes with
the gas main. They left the house at
$50 O'Clock and the police say reported at
the offices of the company half an hour
later that the connections were all right.
Capt. Mannion of the Morrisania police
station and two of his detectives visited
the house and found a half inch pipe I'M
capped sticking out of the floor in the fire.
place in the sitting room. From this half
nch pipe the gas was pouring in great
volume.

DISORDER IN THE ASSEMBLY.
Paradise Park Jimmy Oliver Denies the
SeTg eaut.at.Arms.

ALBANY, April 5,-The Assembly was in
session to-day for over seven hours, and
adjourned under the greatest excitement
after 7 O'Clock tonight. The trouble arose
over several of Senator Malby's bills,
pertaining to the charter of the city of
Ogdensburg, which came up on the order
of second reading.
Minority Leader Palmer said that he had
had an understanding with Assemblyman
+. j. Gray Of st. Lawrence that the bills
were to go over until next week. Mr.. Gray,
however, said he had conferred with Senator
NIalby and the Senator had insisted upon
immediate consideration.
Mr.. Palmer was angry over the turn
affairs had taken and proceeded to do every
thing in his power to delay the session.
Roll calls, call Of absentees, detailed state
ments and questions of personal privilege
and such things we're resorted ia.
Paradise Park Jimmy" Oliyer became
very disorderly. He insisted upon speak,
ing while the roll was being called. Speaker
Wadsworth called him to order and ordered
him to take his seat. Mr.. Oliver refused
to be seated and the Speaker ordered tho
sergeant-at-arms to seat him. As the
assistant sergeant-at-arms stepped up to
Mr.. Oliver and laid his hands on him the
latter became furious.
Don't you dare lay a hand on me- he
shouted fiercely. You are only a servant
of this house and 1 warn you not to lay a
finger on me-"
The sergeant-at-arms did not touch Mr..
Oliver, who finally Gained down and re-
sumed his seat.
While the pandemonium was at its height
Mr.. Palmer moved to adjourn, but the
motion vas ignored. Finally, the bills
were advanced to a third reading and the
House adjourned.

COPS IN THE TEA ROOM.
Hodglns Finds Eleven Women AT Tables
and Concludes They're Gambling.

Capt. Hodgins of the Tenderloin station
and two of his plain clothes experts saw
two handsomely dressed women get out Of
a cab and go into a building at Az Sixth
avenue, yesterday afternoon. Hodgins's
men had reported that we'll gowned women
had been seen frequently going into the
place.
Hodgins and his men followed the women
up q fight Of stairs and into a nicely fur
nished parlor in which were a number of
small tables. Eleven women sat at these
tables, drinking tea. A man who appeared
to be in charge served tea.
The police captain jumped promptly to
the conclusion that the women were playing
the races, using the tea parlor as blind for
gambling. He arrested Patrick j. Clark,
the only man in the place, charging Clark
with aiding and abetting gambling. Clark
denied that gambling went on In the parlor.
Hodgins locked him up in the Tenderloin
station. The eleven women were allowed
to go after their names had been taken.
The names given were undoubtedly foti-
tiCus.

AGAINST MORTGAGE TAN Law.
The Assembly Votes, ~ to so, to Substitute
Recording Tax on Mortgages.

ALBANY, April 5.-After a long and tire
some argument the Assembly to-day, by a
vote of 50 to SO, passed the bill repeating the
present mortgage tax law and substituting
a recording tax on all mortgag es. Assem-
blyman Arthur G. Wade, chairman of the
Taxation Committee, made the main fight
against the bill. Mr.. Wade had evidently
prepared his argument with great care, for
he was armed with statistics and figures.
He argued that the financial interests op-
posed to the law had managed to discredit
it in the eyes Of the people by trying to evade
it's provisions. He presented figures to
how that if the tax had been paid the first
year of the operation of the law it would have
amounted to over a million dollars, instead
of the few hundred thousand dollars re-
ceived by the Comptroller.
Assemblyman Merritt also opposed re-
pealing the mortgage tax law.
