Mayor Taylor will seek to maintain

he calls the members of the board of
public works and of the civil service
commission together for a quiet talk
with their common chief. Last Wednes-
days refusal by the board of works to

Gas escaping from heater brought
death to Mrs Joseph Bywater, aged 20.
and Charles Bywater, her 19 year old
brother in law, in the girl wifes home
at 57s Valencia street yesterday morn
ing. Young Bywater had come for the

The three slept in the same room Sun
day night and Monday morning Joseph
Bywater left for his work. Mrs. By
water was seen shortly afterward
working about the range, evidently to
l.prepare breakfast for young Bywater,
who was still asleep. She put some
water on to boil, turned on the gas and
lighted a match, but in some way failed
to notice that the gas did not light. She
then returned to her bed.
Though the victims were not in the
same room with the gas heater the door
of their apartment was open. and so
much gas was escaping that it quickly
filled both rooms. and partly opened

draw it off fast enough to save their
