cause an investigation and possibly a
police board order prohibiting the en-
ployment Of such advertising devices In

The death of the boy and the illness OF
Mrs. Morton were not reported TO the

The police OF the Seventh station were
first made aware OF the case this morning
by the newspaper men and Capt. Frank
A Matthews at once sent Inspector j. III.
Armstrong to the house 10 make full In
quiry.
Inspector Armstrong after his investi-

Leonard He said that Mr.. Morton re-
placed the japanese screen around the bed
in as nearly as correct position as he
found II, and that he noted the fact that
the top OF the screen could have struck
the gas cock
Inspector Armstrong says that DIR. Dyer,
who took charge OF the patients did not
report the case to the police, as he
thought IL was not case for the police
or medical examiners TO Investigate, as
mother and son were living when the
ply yslcians arrived, and were given treat

daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar G. Leon
ard OF Taunton.
Mr.. Morton is a designer and works for
the Gorham company.
The family lives on the second floor OF

fact may have been responsible for the
family down stairs not noting the pres

The only person who might have avert
ed the tragedy was the washerwoman
who came 10 the house yesterday about
o'clock TO do the family washing. but as

Mrs Leonard explained that IL was usual
