Gas Jet in a Pawtucket Home
Accidentally Left Open.
Son-in-Law, Calling at House, Dis
covers the Sad Tragedy.

Pawtucl;et. r. l., Nov. 29.-Going to
the room of their parents to awaken
them today. the children of John I.
Brais and Mrs. Elizabeth Durvin Brals
found their father and mother dead
from aSphyXiatiOn, a partly opened gas
Jet still pouring its deadly fumes into
the room.
The decision of Medical Examiner
Harold French was that both had come
to their deaths by accident. The gas
cock was one that turned easily and
it is believed that either just before
retiring or sometime during the night
one of the couple touched it in such a
manner as 10 allow the escape Of the
gas.
Brais was a mill operative, 81 years
old, and came from Canada. His wife
was As and was born in Vermont.
Their SON law, George Paquin,
who lives upstairs in the same house.
called at his father inlaw's door
when he was going to work at the
Royal Weaving Cos. mill, where Brais
was a lOomfixer. Finding only some
Of the children up, he went with them
to Brais' room where they discovered
the room filled, with gas and their par
entS dead. The doors and windows
were closed but this was not unusual
and everything pointed to the conclu-
sion that the deaths We're accidental.
Eight children, one of whom is mar
ried survive. The youngest is 10 years

BOARDS OF HEALTH
 TO COOPERATE
Meeting of the City Board of Health Was to Have Been Yesterday to Investigate Reports But No
 Quorum Was Present.

A meeting of the Pine Bluff Board of Health was called yesterday after noon at 2:30 o'clock by President A. B. Loving to investigate into the complaints recently made to the County Board of Health relative to the sale of diseased meats and the rumored sale of milk from cattle af- fected with tuberculosis The 'Coun- ty Board of Health met several days ago and adopted a resolution, providz ing for the employment of a veterifl- arian to make an inspection of cattle in this county, with instructions to kill all cattle after an unsuccessful tuberculin test.
 Owing to the fact that there was no quorum present the meeting of the City Board was not held yester- day, but will probably be called again this week. If the reports are found to be true the City Board will most likely appointsa committee from the local organization to cooperate with the County Boakd in an effort to check the sale of 'hiseased meats and unhealthy dairy pr0ducts.

PROF. R. I. BENTON ENDS HIS LIFE sstst -A sD - sAa -  Popular Principal of High
 School Fires Bullet
 Through Brain. er
NERVOUS WRECK
Constant Brooding Over Mothers Death and Tedious Work Caused
 His Rash Act.

ss Professor R. T. Benton shot and Killed himself shortly after o'clock Yesterday morning, at his home, Mo- a406 East Twelfth avenue He used Va thirty-eight calibre revolver. The Outlet entered the right temple and #came out of the head back of the left lear. Death was instant.
 # Continual breeding over his moth- ser's death, which occurred in Ken tucky only few months ago, and a general breakdown of his nervous Ssystem is believed to have brought son mental trouble. His actions dur { ing the past several weeks at the High School and at his home created suspicion among the members of his fap&y and Dr. William Crutcher was called in to prescribe for him. He was given medical attention for sev- eral days and the physician, realfz- ing that he was in a weakened condi- tion, urged him to leave his duties at the High School and take a much needed rest. He would not listen to the advice of his doctor nor mem- bers of his family but continued to perform his duties at the school. Several times, it is stated, he talked of ending his life but each time rela- tives and friends would reason with him and on several occasions his relatives are said to have prevented him from carrying out his threat.
 He arose, as usual, Monday morn ing and dressed. After eating breakfast, MT. Benton walked into his room and second later a shot was heard. Relatives rushed into his room and found his lifeless body lying on the floor.
 When the announcement was made at the Pine Bluff High School of Mr.. Benton's tragic death it created gen. uihe sorrow and several of the y*ung lady members of the graduat- ing class became hysterical. It fi- nally became necessary for the pu- pills at the High School to be dismiss sed for the day.
 Professor Benton is survived by his wife and two small sons and one brother, who lives in Kentucky. His brother will arrive here this morning and until his arrival the funeral ar-
