CAUGHT IN CARBON

Two persons are in a sanitarium to-
day under the care of a doctor as a re-
suit of 1nhaling carbon dioXide gas
generated by gas heater yesterday
when they and two others narrowly es-
capped death by asphyxiation at the
home of Mrs. Katie Stephenson, 1917
| West Washir ton street.
Mrs. Stephenson and e. II. Brown, a
roomer, are resting in PREDECESSORS
sanitarium after recovering from a ser
1ous condition. Sam H Smith, another
roomer at the Stephenson home anG
the eight-ye old son of Mrs. Stephen
son also were affected
The first to be overcome by the
fumes were Mrs. Stephenson and her
son. Mr.. Smith, seeing the predicamenr
OF the two, attempted to Grag them
from the room, but was himself over
come. Then E. H. Brown appeared ana
succeeded in saving the unconscious
victims but while doing this, was con-
siderable gassed, though at the time it
was thought not as seriously as the
other three. Dr. f. C. Norman rushed
to the scene and revived the three who
were most affected. Later Mrs. Steph-
enson and Mr. Brown were taken 10

the gas heater, which was installed be-
fore the ordinance demanding suca
vents was passed.
The present building ordinance re-
cures vents on all new installations of
gas appliances" stated the inspector.
but the many installations made sew
eral years ago, before the ordinance
was passed were not vented and are
proving a great source of danger 10
householders
Il have been able to persuade many
owners to vent their old appliances
properly. but some apartment house
owners have refused to go 70 the ex-
pense, even though by not doing 50
they are endangering the lives of their
tenants.
II will present an ordinance at the
next meeting of the city commission
ers with the request that It be passed
as an emergency measure which viii
require the venting of all gas water
heaters already installed" ne added.
The building department issues an
prevails on all gas installations when
they are o. KID. If people having gas
work done would ask for these approx
ais before paying for the job tney
would be assured that there would be
no danger in connection with the work
Mr.. Mann said.
During the four years or the e7-
istence of the present ordinance, the
building department has been informed
of no defects that have been discovred
in inspected work. But during rhe same
period, quite a number OF cases Of gas
poisoning. like the Nickelis case some
. months ago, have been reported, WHERE
the work had been installed prior to the
passage of the ordinance.
Mr.. Mann states that IF anyone
, doubts the safety of any piece of gas
/ appliances that has been installed, he
may call up the building inspector who
5 will be glad to inspect it and to state
= what is necessary to render the ap-
| pliance safe.

There was never any intention on

DIDN'T B|DE A WEE
At "B|DE-A-WEE''

That her guests at Bide-a-Wee over
stayed their time limit and refused to
move after being requested to by the
owner, is the claim made by Mrs.
Nancy NJ. Smith in a forcible detainer
action against Nettie Vaughn Gillmor,
George Gillmor and Bishop Simpson
Garrison now on trial in the superior
court. In addition to asking for judg
ment for possession, Mrs. Smith asks
for damages in the sum of $3.50 to Oc-
tober 81 and SIS a month for further
occupancy of the premises by the de-
PENDANTS.
The plaintiff claims that her hus-
band, George Smith, and Mr. Gillmor
had an agreement whereby Gillmor
was to do a certain amount of work on
the place, receive certain profits and
during his employment occupy one of
the cottages on the place. Later, Mrs.
Gillmor asked permission to move into
the cottage, and she and Garrison
joined Mr.. Gillmor.
The agreement not being satisfac-
torily Carried out, the plaintiff notified
the defendant that their relations cease.
They were asked to move and declined,
the court action resulting. Judge w.
H. Stillwell is representing the plain
tiff and the defendants have Thomas
]. Walton and W. ]. Bailey appearing
for them. Nineteen witnesses have
been subpoenaed and it is understood
that the case will not be concluded be-
fore the early part of next week
This is the first jury case on trial
in the superior court since the influ-
enza epidemic, when Judge Lyman and
Judge Stanford agreed to continue their
jury cases until advised by the health
authorities that the epidemic was over.
The present case is being tried by
Judge Pattee of Pima county

MEAT PRICES At YUMA
ORDERED REDUCED;
Investigating HERE

Five cents pound reduction on an
retail prices of meat sold in Yuma was
ordered yesterday by the food admins
tration. This action follows an inves-
legation that has just been concluded
by a federal food inspector in that city.
The reduction has been agreed to by all
dealers.
Phoenix and Tucson have been IN
dergoing a thorough investigation for
several days, and a similar action,
though not q similar reduction, neces-
sarily may be expected here almost
any day II is stated at food admins
tration headquarters that there will be
a reduction in meat prices to consum-
ers in this city.
Probing the selling prices of mea1
was brought about by complaints or
owners of public eating houses, when
the assertion was made that restaur-
ants were unable to comply with the
rules of the food authorities with the
prices of meat remaining as they were.
In the event of statewide reduction
of meat prices. which now looks prob
able, eating houses will be required 20
adjust their sellino prices accordingly.
Investigation Of meat cost was care
fully carried out by the officials. Tn
der the supervision Of competent inves-
tgators, beef was secured on the hoof,
butchered and dressed, cut and mar
keted. a carefully detailed statement OF
cost Of every step compiled. When
the figures were studied, it was learned,
IN the case of Yuma, that IN abnormal
profit was being made on meat in that
city. Hence, the order of reduction.
1t is known that a similar method ha.
been adopted in Phoenix, but investi-
gators have not completed their work.
Until that time. no action will be an
uounced.

ARIZONA MARINES
AID LIBERTY LOAN

Sergeant Gildow, in charge of what
is left Of the marine recruiting office
of Phoenix, states that Arizona may
well be proud of it's marines, for the
part they took in putting over the
fourth Liberty loan. From reports he
has received from headquarters, he
learns that the barracks at Quantico
and Mare Island, at both of which
places many Arizona boys are quar-
tered, subscribed among the most lib
orally of all marine stations in the SER
vice.
Paris Island led with $319,450; Phila-
delphia s25S, 100; then Mare Island with
sf55,650; followed by Quantico with
s152,650. His information also shows
that every station of the navy, in all
parts of the world, from China around
the globe, did it's noble share.

COTTON As GOOD As
CASH At NJ ARTHUR'S

Macarthur Brothers, to help relieve
the ughtness in the cotton market,
are willing to accept cotton in place
of cash for the motor cars they sell.
They have also arranged to receive
cotton for payment on used cars.
1T is not necessary that the cotton
be baled," said Warren Macarthur, ''as
we have made storage arrangements
for all seed cotton received"
Macarthur Brothers have consented
to sell cars for cotton to farmers be
cause that is the only way many
farmers can get them at this time, due
to the fact that they have been unable
in many cases to dispose OF their cot
ton at satisfactory prices.
