D. c. BANK CLEARlGS
SHOW BIG INCREASE

Big gains in District bank ciearingS,
the surest barometer OF business
prosperity. are reflected in the month
ly statements OF banks since the
United States went to war last year.
Bank clearings for the month Of
May broke all records for the city
totaling SOL. .s9T ,053. This beats the
record OF April OF this year by $5.T29,-
952 and is a gain OF $11.3O3,7lT over
the month Of May, 1917. As compsr-
ed with May, 1916. an even more re
markRble record is shown. the in
crease being $19.O4O.594.
These figures indicate the tremen-
dops volume Of business transacted
in Washington since this country en-
tered the war. A considerable poC-
ton Of this increase in clearings is
due to the influx OF thousands Of Gov
ernment war workers who have start
ed accounts in District banks.

GAS RENDERS THREE IN

Charles Mobley and Wife and Grip.
Piled Mother Hurried to Hospital.
Investigations Are Made.

Mrs. Mary Jane Mobley. seventy
eight yea1 old; Charles Mobley. her
son, and Mrs. Mary Mobley, his wife,
were found in their room. at at I'd
street. last night unconscious from
Illuminating gas. 1t was said ut the
house that gas was escaping from two
burners OF the stove and q fixture on
the ceiling.
Mrs. Maggie King, who conducts the
rooming house. said she was positive
the gas Jets had been. left open As a
result Of an accident. Mobley and
his wife regained consciousness this
morning at Casualty Hospital She
said she rscollected nothing after she
had prepared food On the cook stove,
and the husband said he was certain
tired.
The elderly woman returned from
Emergency Hospital about q week ago.
having been treated there for q broken
hip. Her son wanted her to remain
in the hospital another week or two.
but she insisted upon returning home.
She was almost helpless.
Three weeks ago the Mobleys rented
two rooms in Mrs. Kings house. and
because of the condition OF the elder
law deemed 1t advisable for her to oc-
cupy bed in their room.
Charles Mobiey, who Is piasterer,
was about the house during the day.
but what time he returned last night
is not known. II was shortly after
10 o'clock when Mrs. Owens. who oc-'
capied the room adjoining the Mobleys',
heard groans and thought tho elderly
woman was suffering from her hip.
The rpomer summoned Mrk King, the
odoP OF gas was detected and the door
broken open. Mobley and his wife oc-
cupied q double bed in the room, while
his mother WAS resting on . cot. Govern
were drawn over them and all three
were uncpnsciouA An ambulance was
summoned and the three were hurried
to Casualty Hospital.
Detective Wright OF the sixth pre-
cinct visited the house and hospital and
made an investigation. He found that
Mrs. King had a gas warning sign
tackled on the wall in the hallway to
warn her roomers to be careful about
the fixtures.
Considerable troubls was experienced
with the gas supply in the house during
Mrs. King detected the odor Of the gas
last night she thought somsthing had
happened to the pipes
It was not until she made q careful ex-
animation about the doors leading to the
room occupied by the MobIeys that she
was satisfied the gas had been left turned
on in the room. Physicians At Casualty
Hospital this afternoon said they thought
tho three patients probably would recover,
although the elderly woman was not out
OF danger.

wade Russia further, according to inti-
nations from bolsheyik sources. In an
address to the central executive com
mittee Of the council of soldiers and
workmen's delegates Leon Trotzky, the
bolshevik foreign minister, said:
I'VE are not followers of Tolstoy. We
do not say we will not resist the Ger
man INVASION.
Trotzky proceeded to outline a plan
by which the socialistic army would
conduct bushwhacking campaign,
hampering the efforts of the Germans
should they endeavor to conduct COM
merce along the border, especially
should they try to procure grain from
the Ukraine under what he alluded to
as the screen of their so-called peace
with the bourgeois rada of Kiev.
The Russian government, according
to another official statement received
here, has addressed the following mes
sage to headquarters and all the fronts:
The council Of peoples commissaries
has offered to the Germans to sign
peace Immediately. order that in ali
cases where Germans are encountered
massed pourparlers with the German
soldiers should be organised and the
proposal to refrain from fighting made
to them. If the Germans refuse then
you must offer to them every possible
resistance.

Accent German Terms

Announcement Of the purpose Of the
