Health officer Woodward
Explains Victims DEATH

That the deaths Of Mrs. Helen Kath-
crime BremeTman, Mrs. Hebe Cults
Bremerman, and Cults Bremerman, the
eighteen-mOnths-Old infant, were due to
the burning of Illuminating gas in a
confined space is the belief OF Health
Officer W. G. Woodward.
While not called upon for an Official
opinion. DR.. Woodward today issued a
statement giving his reasons for the
above conclusion.
The burning OF Illuminating gas tends
TO use up the oxygen in the air and
throws into the atmosphere certain
nOXious compounds" said the Health
officer
If the oxygen used up is not prompt
~ replaced. and the nOXiOUs compounds
promptly removed or kept within safe
limits, By proper ventilation, serious re-
suits are bound to follow.
1t is not unlikely that the change in
the atmosphere of the room in this
case was brought about so gradually
that the danger came before these
people We're aware OF IL, and that
serious results ensued before they knew
of the gravity of the existing con-
ditions. Not knowing the origin of the
danger. they were in no condition to re-
move it. The incident should serve as
a warning to everyone using illuminat-
ing gas. particularly 10 those using It
FOR heating and cooking"

for many years. but even with this ID
vantage he cannot see how the extra
session can adjourn before the middle
or latter part of July The idea Of get

Payne does not consider feasible.
There viii be more than the usual
number of new members in the House,
said Mr.. Payne, "and consequently there
will be a great amour OF debate. De

will make any better progress than was
made or the Dingley tariff bill. That
extra session adjourned July p
Mr. Payne said that a maximum and
minimum tariff is a real necessity and
the one which should be passed by
Congress. incidentally he said that the

Tragedy Caused by Gas,
First Physician Believes

DR.. William A. Wells, professor of
Howard University. the second man on
the scene of the tragedy. had arrived
at no conclusion as to the cause this
morning although he was inclined TO
believe chat the gas was responsible
He said:
Il was called about five minutes after
5 o'clock and went to the house just
Two squares away. Immediately When
] entered, / noticed "a punSeut odor
although Mr.. BeTmerman had opened
the windows and they had been open
probably five minutes
The first thing 1 did after I looked
at the bodies was TO try TO resusticate
the child. 1t being still warm. / took
fl out on the back porch. but my eff
forts were in vain. Tt he'd been dead
evidently about one hour
''The TWO women had been dead
probably about six or seven hours. The
younger woman was prone on the
floor and the older was kneeling over
her with her arms about the body. It
was evident that the older had sue
cumbed last. that she had tried to lift
her sons wife from the 1loor and that
she had died as she made the effort. "
Or. q. NJ. Perry, the second i'lysician
TO reach the Bermerman house, said
tn morning that in his opinion there
must have been some chemical action
or some mingling of the fumes of the
burned gas and those from the heater
that created the yapOr which proved so
deadly.

MARYLAND COUNT
SHOWS NO CHANGE
Taft Gets Plurality, Bryan
Gets Six Out of Eight
Electors.

BALTIMORE. Nd. Nov. There is
little change ia the Maryland count to-
day, and it is believed that there will
be no retreat from the figures given out
by the News last night, which gave
Taft a plurality Of Cos, but showed that
Bryan would get six out of the eight
electoral votes.
Although the official count is not COM
pleJe, II IS doubtful If the TAFT Dlur-
ality can be reduced more than ten. and
II IS certain now that the electoral vote
viii be divided as given.
Il Is probable that the Republicans
lost several electors through the un-
familiarity Of many Republican voters
with the Maryland ballot
TaftS plurality I'm Baltimore, cOmpar-
ing the highest vote for a Taft clector
with tire highest vote for a Bryan cleo
tor, is close TO 100, which is a gain.

Of President elect Taft believe he has
decided upon three judicial appoint

Horace Lurton, Nashville. Tenn. to SUI
preme Court justice; United States Dis
trict Judge Albert q. Thompson, Of the
southern district of Ohio, to the Circuit
Court bench, and ex-Judge Howard HOl-
lister To the district bench. vacated by
ThompGon's elevation,
All three are Tafts personal friends
and two are judicial associates. Lur-
ton was Taft's bench associate and IS a
Taft Democrat. Judge Thompson is
sixty-siX years old. His elevation 10
the Circuit Court bench would be a
final reward for his long service - ihe
Government before his judicial retire
ment. Howard HOLSTER is considered

pOintment would be looked upon as a
