DEATH Of MRS. SULLIVAN
ASCR|BED TO ACCIDENT
Testimony Given Shows Acct.
dent Was Due to Defective
Gas Fitting.

Failure to observe and failure to en-
force regulations of the plumbing depart
ment Of the District of Columbia govern
ing gas fixtures and fittings brought
death by asphyxiation to Mrs. Bertha J.
r. Sullivan in her room at sO7 Sth street
yesterday morning.
Accidental death is the verdict OF
Coroner hewitt. The evidence. however
disclosed that the accident would not
have happened if gas fitting prohibited
by regulation had not been in use.
mo Independent hose connection can be
less than twelve inches from the
bracket" stipulate the regulations OF
1910. now in force. The gas fitting in
the death room, it was shown, was ar
ordinary burner with short gas hose
connection.
Regulation Never Enforced.
Although this regulation is in ef-
feet 1t has never been enforced. ad-
mits A. r. McGonegal. inspector of
plumbing. Appliances OF the sort pro-
hibited by the regulation have been
In use for years, he says, and his de-
partment can do no more than to d.
rect property owners to remove them
and replace them with proper fittings.
Every year a number Of deaths in
the District of Columbia can be traced
to such defective gas appliances, de-
clared Inspector McGonegal. The STOP
cock to the hose connection is sOme-
times accidentally turned on while turn
ing Off the stop-cock at the bracket
connection, and sometimes the bracket
cock Is turned on while turning off the
hose connection-cock, he says, with re-
sulting escape of gas in practically a
full flow.
Good Reasons Back of Order.
When property owner is notified to
have new connection installed. he
generally believes that it is done for the
purpose of giving a plumber more work. -
said Mr.. McGonegal This, however, is
not true. 1t is done in order to prevent
Just such accidents as that which re-
suited in Mrs. Sullivan's death yester-
day."
The body Of Mrs Sullivan was turned
over to an undertaken yesterday after
noon, to be prepared for burial. Funeral
services will be held Monday at the I'M
dertaking establishment lib 7th street.
.Interment will be in Prospect Hill ceme-
terry.

Naturally my country desires that the
United States shall prevent the insurrec-
tionists in northwestern Mexico from
smuggling arms, ammunition and other
supplies from this side of the border.
That is what the United States troops
purpose to do according to all trust
worthy information. 1t now only remains
for them to accomplish the tasks which
have every reason to believe will be
within their power.
I'm view Of the sudden and unexpected
announcement by the United States gov
eminent of the proposed mobilization of
troops in the southwest 1t is not at all
strange that there should have been con-
siderable excitement and some apprehen-
sion in Mexico and the United States. It
is to be greatly regretted that numerous
sensational and unwarranted statements
have been made regarding conditions in
Mexico. and also that those conditions
are not better understood in the United

Condemned by the Camorrists.
The result of this investigation showed
that the Cuoccolo couple had been afhlis
ated with the Camorra, the husband as a

wife as an "adescatrice, or stool-pigeon,
and that they had been condemned by
the court Of the Camorra, the husband
for misuse Of the society's funds and for
using the society for his private ends,
and the wife lest the death of her hus-
band might cause her to reveal Camorra
secrets to the authorities. The douple
murder was declared to have been au-

mora, planned by Rapi at the 'trat-
