LOCAL GARAGE MAN
IS NEAR-V|CTIM Of
AUTO-GAS FUMES

In spite OF a recent warning from
the Bureau OF Mines OF danger from
gas generated by an automobile en-.
CINE, Elmer Mangum, twenty-four. OF
1912 G. street southeast, was over
come in a garage in the rear OF 725
Twelfth street southeast this morn
ing and narrowly escaped death.
Mangum was working on an auto
mobile engine in the little garage and
closed the door so that the placa
would be warm. There was no ven
tilation and he was quickly overcome
by the poisonous carbon monoxlde
and dioxide gases thrown on by the
exhaust. A fellow-worker found him
unconscious on the floor, the engine Of
the automobile running at full speed
and the garage filled with suffocating
fumes. He summoned an ambulance
from Casualty Hospital, but before II
arrived Mangum had sufficiently re.
covered to return to work.

upon the first Lusitania note in Ber-

The Presidents letter was as fol-

my dear Mr.. Bryan:
MY attention has been called to a
book in which the author states BY
very clear implication that I de-
manded your resignation as Secre-
tary OF State because of Language
used by you in an interview with Am
bassador Dumba soon after the first
Lusitania note. You may quote me a.
saying that I did not ask for your
resignation or desire it, as anyone
can learn from my note accepting
your resignation And this statement
ought also to be a sufficient answer
to the criticism OF you based upon the
Dumba interview. for I could not
make 1t II l thought you responsible
for the misinterpretation of the inter
view in Berlin.
But knowing at the time all the
facts. l did not give the matter seri-

"Priees Lower Next Year"
Spreckles said il sugar prices are
left to themselves. they will decline

Hoover sugar committee has already

This means a considerable increase
10 the consumer, Spreckles said.
The price fixed for Cuban sugar
Will nix the price at which Hawaiian
sugar. when refined. will be sold. Ha-

And, in doing SO, let us remember
the proud and arrogant words Of the

his nation was floating another huge
