DIR. GiIdersleeve Has a Close Call

Lying unconscious on the floor, DR..
Gildersleeve was found yesterday
morning by the servants at thew est
moreland Club almost asphyxiated
by escaping gas. DR.. Gildersleeve,
who is a brother of Professor Basil
Gildersleve of Johns Hopkins u niver-
s1ty, Baltimore, is spending the
winter in Richmond, having rooms
on South Third street. Yesterday af-
ter breakfast at the Guarrant Hotel
he went TO the Westmoreland Club,
and during the morning he went up
stairs to take a bath. Sometime later
the attendants at the club smelt gas
in the halls, the fumes evidently
coming from the room occupied by
DIR. Gildersleveve. Getting no re-
Spouse to their knocks, they broke
open the door. DR.. Gildersleeve, in
semi-conscious condition, was found,
with the gas turned on in an unlit
gas stove. Reomved To the fresh air
he rapidly recovered, and in a short
time was able to sit up. After resting
at the club for some hours, DIR. Gill
dersleeve returned TO his rooms I'M

covered from the Ill effects of his dis
agreeable experience. 1t was thought
that he failed in an attempt TO light
the stove, and becoming confused in
the knobs, instead of turning off the
current, turned on the gas in the light
bracket overhead. - News-Leader,

SHORT CUT IN OIL CASE
Government Asks That Il Be Certi.
fled to the Supreme Court
Direct.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-f plans of the
case will be carried OF the United
States Supreme Court by short
cut" method.
This is revealed in an obscure par
agraph of the petition filed with the
United States Court of Appeals for a
rehearing of the reversal Of the
$29,24O,0OO fine against the Standard
Oil company of Indiana. JudgesGros
soup, Seaman and Baker are asked
by Attorney General Bonaparte and
his aids to certify the entire proceed
ing to the Supreme Court.
Heretofore it had been generally
supposed the only method by which
the Department of Justice could get
a hearing of the oil case before the
highest tribunal was through a petit
tion for writ of certiorari. That
proceeding would mean delay until
after the immediate court had dispos-
ed of the rehearing plea.
The government, however seeks
to facilitate matters through an i'm
mediate certification of the case to
the Supreme Court. 1t Is pointed out
to the judges of the Court of Appeals
that their opinion leaves in doubt
the question Of the defendants guilt
knowledge" They are told that the
statute provides that the court may
at any time certify to the Supreme
Court any questions or propositions
of law concerning which they desire
construction.
In view of the fact that the ques-
tion of the defendant company's "guil
ty knowledge" is the most important
point involved in the reversal of Jud-
ge Lands, the certification of that
proposition practically would amount
to appeal of the entire case. The
petition, dwelling on this feature
adds that the question involved is Wit
al to shippers and railroads alike.
Suits now are pending in practi-
oally every circuit of the United
States" say the government lawyers.
and this is a point upon which emin
