PARENTS WERE BOTH OVERCOME
Officer Got Tenants Together and
Directed Treatment to Them
Himself.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 13.-All Of family
of five were nearly stifed by gas early
this morning in their home. and were saved
by a new policeman, Patrolman Mozart
ney. who improved his first chance to try
the lessons In resuscitating which he had
just been taking at the police school of
instruction.
Frederick Moses. laborer. living on the
third floor rear Of the tenement 240 Cherry
street went last to bed last night, after
his wife and three children had retired.
He turned out the gaslight, but in doing
so brushed the gas stove cock with his
knuckles and turned it part way on.
The two parents sleep in the kitchen and
the three children in a smaller room ad-
joining. Mrs. Moses woke up in the night,
hearing one Of the children coughing. She
reused herself to go and see to the child 8
coverings. At the threshold she fell to the
floor with a crash loud enough to awaken
Mary the eldest of the children. fourteen
years old.
Girl Screamed.
The girl finding her mother unconscious
on the floor screamed and woke up her
father and her brother Charles. six years
old, and sister Hannah, seven years old.
The father was overcome and fell after a
few steps,
Mary. though she felt giddy, kept her
wits. She dragged her parents to the open
kitchen window, where they could breathe
the outside air. She made the younger
children also come to the place of safety
All three screamed at the top Of their voices
for help.
Policeman Mccartney has just been put

He heard the shrill voices Of the chill
dren, traced the sounds to the Moses apart
ment and pounded on the door until the
children let him in.
All five were in need of treatment. Nc
CARNEY got together some of the neigh
boring tenants as soon as he had carried
the five into the outer air. He formed the
crowd into an emergency corps. Over each
of the victims he set two people and di-
rected them in producing artificial breath
ing by means of raising and lowering the
arms When DR.. Winthrop, whom he had
summoned in the meantime by telep hOne
from Gouveneur Hospital. arrived he
found much of his work already done Nc
Cartney's volunteers were working under
his direction, and both the parents and
the children, who had collapsed after reach
ing the open air, were regaining conscious
ness

fly without taking them to the hospital and

able to return to their home on their own
legs.

RUSSIAN THEFAR EAST
TO STRENGTHEN SIBERIAN BOR-
DERS-FEAR OF CHINA.

HARDIN, June IL. via Mukden. June IL.
-Russia's plan of reconstruction in the far
east now appears to be based on fear Of
China. Notwithstanding a lack of money
Russia is endeavoring to greatly strength
en- her Siberian borders. The effect Of their
loss of prestige with the Chinese. es-
pecially the Manchurians, and the break
ing away of high mandarin benefciaries,
despite the subsidies paid them, together
with the lofty attitude of China, now that
the Japanese are regarded as hectoring
and browbeating them, powerfully inn
pressed the Russian people.
All the Russians formerly employed on
the Island of Saghalien have abandoned
the Japanese there, though they are needed
in various industries. The frontier line in
Saghalien and Russia and Korea Is strict
ly military. Russia's contentious regarding
the fisheries have been disregarded. and
the negotiation for joining the Russian
and Japanese railways at kwang-chengtsu
have failed, the Japanese conducting both
along their own lines. The Russians de-
clare their inability to combat the Japa-
nese advance of Manchurian interests.
Minister OF War Terauchi last week visit
ed and inspected the japanese strategic
position at Kwans-chengtse. causing dis
quiet to the Chinese officials, who saw that
the relations between the two nations are
not yet on q. working basis.
While all classes view the Russian ten
ure south Of the Amur as temporary,
Primorisk >is regarded as a territorial out
post. where on account of lack Of FUNDS.
Russia has suspended the construction or
barracks and other works to house an in
creased garrison, but continues to push
immigration.
Failure of Peaceful Methods.
The failure Of government railways and
other peaceful methods used in the past to
establish Russian trade or meet the new
condition in Manchuria has forced Russian
vested interests here to appeal for the in
PRODUCTION of foreign enterprises which, 1t
is expected. would constitute barrier to
the Japanese.
In Siberia the double tracking Of the rail-
way has been indefinitely postponed, ana
the government Is devoting itself solely to
correcting Russas original strategic lines
on the frontier. as shown by the resurvey
of the Amur railway north OF the Amur
river. 1t Is planned to connect the Amur
and Baikal roads. giving protected commu-
nication to PrimoriSk in case of accident
to the exposed trans-Baikal railway or the
loss of the indefendable Manchurian rail-
way.
The Russian ministry of war Is inau-
gurating a generous policy of exploration
in eastern Manchuria, Mongolia and the
Amur basin but the government Is subsi-
dizing business in Mongolia only outside of
the Japanese sphere. its purpose being to
strengthen Russia against the newly In
spired Chinese aggression.
