Senator Hale gave warning not only
to the United States but to the world
against the remarkable rise and growth

SUES GAS COMPANY
FOR MCGOWAN DEATH
Administrators Holds Com
pany Is Liable for Monox-
ide in Product.

The liability OF the Washington Gas
light Company for accidents resulting
from the use OF gas containing the dead
~ carbon monoxide is TO be questioned
in court through a suit TO recover $1,000
as damages suffered by Mrs Grace
MCGOWAN through the death Of her hus-
band, W1liial1 MCGOWAN, in December
last, which was fled in the District
Supreme Court this afternoon
1t viii be remembered that Mr.. Nc
GoVan was using gas to heat water in
the ballroom Of his house and that
after he had been IN the bath room for
some time. the door was orened and he
was found dead The physicians who
examined the body declared that death
was the result Of carbon mOnoxide in
the gas. This was one Of the several
deaths that occurred from the same
cause about that time and was one OF
the incidents that brought about the
investigation Of the gas company's af-
fairs by the District COMMITTEES of the
House
J. Archibald Aoriarity was appointed
administrator Of the MCGOWAN estate
for the purpose OF - inging suit against
the gas company AZ this case Mr.
Azoriarity has based his action for dam
al es on the provisions in the charter Of
the gas company which prohibits it
from manufacl uTing or furnishing -
quality of gas that shall cause injury
10 private property or become a pub
lie nuisance In his CONSTANT Mr.
Mortality has made use OF these terms
AMI in addition has used the words ''in-
jury tC person. making the complaint
read injury to person or private prop
erty.'
There is a legal precedent for suing a
gas company on tIeSe grounds result
ing from the successful prosecution CT
a suit against 2 gas company which
permitted its gas 10 pass through a
sewer in reaching the consumer The
gas as 1t left the cOTnpany's works was
not poisonous or injurious in itself. but
1t accumulated poison IN passing
through tie sewer ana thus became a
menace tC life.
The court held the gas company re-
SpOnSible and awaT led damages in the
case cited 1t IS believed by Mr. Nor
iarity that this case offers similar
grounds, and the suit will be pressed
TO the GulG, the case being taken to
the highest tribunal for ultimate deci-
sion.

THE INEVITABLE HYSTERIA
OVER MRS. BOYLE.

Here it Is already. 1t happens TO
come from the Pittsburg Leader. But
1t was sure to come from somewhere.
"Helen's Fate Brings Pity. Strong
Feeling Rouses Public Mind that WON
an of Mystery Should Be Given An
other Chance. Evidence Weak; Sen
tence Severe. Lawyers and Club Won
en- Discuss Features of Remarkable
Woman's Trial and Conviction. Hearts

Three lawyers and three women, said
to be prominent in club life in Pitts
burg, are quoted to substantiate these
headlines. OF course, what they say
is all conjecture. They DOUBT if any Of
Tense was committed by the woman in
Pennsylvania. They think the sen
tence severe. They want to know about
the man higher up" It is all precise
ly what might have been expected.
But what of It? If Mrs. Boyle
doubted the jurisdiction of the Penn
sylvania courts she might at least
have taken an appeal on that point.
Her brother was present with the funds
needed. But she did not take an APP
peal and she did not because she be
lieved the sentence awaiting her in
Ohio. where an offense was undoubtedly
committed. would be at least as severe.
As for the imam higher up" not even
Mrs Boyle's own attorneys would take
the talk seriously. They may have
felt as any other serious student of
this Whitla kidnapping must have felt,
that all this was only means of pre-
pairing ground upon which the board
of pardons could act some time in
future when Mrs. Boyle would be re-
membered and the danger of her ex-
ample would be forgotten.
What a remarkable thing it isl
These six persons and the editors of the
Pittsburg Leader are no doubt entire
" sane They would admit, on ex-
animation, that they believed kidnap-
ing to be only less than murder. They
would agree that it must be severely
punished. Yet when a clever and
beautiful woman is caught red-handed,
with the ransom paid for a stolen little
boy of eight years sewn in her skirt
they would have this culprit 'given
another chance" In the last analysis
It Is only form of hysteria. But
where the theft of human flesh and
blood is involved it behooves the rest
of us to pat our foot down on it
hard. Any sympathy to which Mrs.
Boyle is entitled will go to her in the
best possible form from the board OF
pardons on It's own initiative.
