EFFECT OF GAS POISONING
Absorption Of Carbon Monoxide Given
by Scientist as the Real Cause
of Death.

Breathing Of furnace gas. smoke IN
burning buildings, the after damp Of
explosions of coal dust, etc, has
caused many deaths. Such deaths are
due to poisoning by carbon monoXidc.
How this kills Is described in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical ussocia-
ton By Prof. Yandcl Henderson Of
Yale university
Carbon monoNidc has an nvidity for
heinoglobin, the red cOlOring matter
OF the blood. with which IL forms the
same combination as does oxygen. only
200 times us powerful Its poisonous
effects appear to be due to the result
Ing decrease in the oXygpn-carrying
power Of the blood"
1t Is, however, misapprehenSion tC

man1nt. A man brought out to the

mixed with oxygen can be admins.
tered, will generally recover, II he
does not regain consciousness he will
die In II few days, This is not due to
retention of carbon monoNide by The
blood but Is the result of injury to The
brain aud nervous system, due to in.
sufficient oxygen supplied to the blood
while the patient was breathing the
gus.
AS a rough estimate" says Pro-
fessor Henderson, ut may be stated
THAT usually man will die who has
bfealled o. per cent Of carbon mon
oxide mixed with air which IL in other
respects normal. for four or five hours,
or "a per cent for one hour. With

FULTON WILLARD
BOUT is NEXT

New York. Jan. 20-The fiStlc plum
OF two long years was in the making
here today-Jess Willard against Fred
Fulton for the heavyweight title on
Decoration day.
Out of the food OF proposition con
lectures and counter proposals TINS
match stood out today as the one
which stands the best chance OF goin
thru Fulton is already under con,
tract to Grant Hugh Brown, erstwhile
race promoter who has yielded to the
golden lure OF the fight promotion
game. Long Fred has $1,000 OF
Browns money to bind the bargain.
While it is not definitely known, 1t
is believed that Brown will have lit
tie difficulty in getting the Giant Kan
san to sign articles for the show. The
wise ones of the promotion game
point out that Brown is too shrewd a
business man to go ahead and put a
pile OF money into the venture If he
was not reasonably certain that Jess
would not kick over the traces.
The project will be a huge under
taking. II will be necessary TO take
an almost unheard Of gate to make
the championship event a financial
success, and this rather precludes its
held in any sort OF club.
The plans, as they were divulged
today, call for the bout in the open
air either in or around New York or
in Havana, New York will have the
first call, for the fight would he as
sured for a tremendous gate.
Fulton will shortly be sent against
one Of the prominent heavies here
as a conditioner. Charley Welnert
or jim. Coffey will meet him at Madi-
son Square Garden in the near future
if Browne can get lease on the
famous show place.
As an added attraction Browne
plans to put on Darcy at the Garden
just az soon as he can get it. To
this end he has opened negotiations
with Les and has found, he said, that
the Australian is in receptive
mood. Darcy is not making a great
success Of his attempt to elevate the
stage ana wants to get back into the
game.

MISKE HITS HARD
SAYS GEO. BROWN

II you want to take Knockout
George Browns word for it, Billy
Miske is harder hitter than Les
Darcy
And when it comes down to a case
OF brass lacks, Knockout Brown ought
to know what he Is talking about, for
he has stopped the wallops of both
fighters with most every inch Of his
map and his commissary department
Brown met Darcy twice in Austria
liza, and recently fought Miske here
in New York. He was hammered all
over the ring in both bouts with
Darcy, but the Australian couldn't lay
him out. And Mske, though he beat
Brown by a wide margin, found the
Chicago Greek always coming in for
more. Says Brown
None of these guys can stop me.
II il could be done, either Miske or
Darcy would have done it, And what
about Dillon? They can all hit be-
leye me. But that doesn't bother
mo A whole lot
II YOU want TO take my opinion Of
it, Miske is the best hitter of the
bunch. He can hit harder, at least
than Darcy can. He il good boxer
and he has plenty Of punches that he
delivers at long range. What's more,
he has the muscle back Of them.
Darcy, on the contrary, Ii mostly
