GAS PERIL FOR
INMATES OF THE
COUNTY BASTILE
Faulty Meter Causes Lights to
Go Out While 55 People
in Building Sleep.
IS DISCOVERED IN TIME
Danger from Asphyxiation or ExpIo-
sion Argument in Favor of the
Use of Electricity.

By mere chance So people in the
county jail were saved from asphyxia-
ton Saturday night. The incident
furnishes a pretty convincing argu-
ment in favor of the immediate in
stalling of electric lights to take the
place of the gas jets now almost ex-
clusively used for illumination.
About ten jets are left burning in
various parts of the building at night
Saturday night about 1920 every
light suddenly went out. Some min
utes later Mrs. George H Siemon,
wife Of the deputy sheriff in her quar-
tiers in the sheriffs residence noticed
the smell Of gas. Almost at the same
moment Mr.. Siemon, who had been
uptown, returned, and hastily went to
investigate. Surmising what the trou-
Bile was he CROPPED about in the dark
till he found a jet from which gas
was pouring. Turning it OF he sought
the others and then proceeded to give
the building such ventilation as was
possible. The escape of gas was dis
covered in time so that no one ex-
perienced any i'll effect.
BLAMEs THE METER
This morning an inspector from
the Peoples Power company Office de
clared that the fault lay with the me-
ter. Apparently the mechanism be-
came momentarily clogged, stopping
the flow and extinguishing the lights.
After a brief interval the pressure
forced the meter into action again
and then the deadly gas began to is
sue once more. A new meter has
been installed.
The peril to the inmates of the Jail
is obvious. Had the accident occurred
later when all we're asleep it is pref
ty certain that there would have
been loss of life. Furthermore, in the
absence Of other lights, when the
trouble was discovered it is very like
ly that someone would have lighted a
match, in which case a disastrous ex-
plosion, wrecking the building and
causing the killing or manning of
many, would inevitably have fol-
/ lowed.
The use of electricity for illumina-
ton would not only obViate danger of
this nature, but would also tend to
| improve the atrocious ventilation of
! the Jail, not to mention the added con-
venience.
