 GAS POISONING
Boarded With Mrs. John Hagerdon Found Dead in
 Bed Early Today.

Alfred H. oelrich, s5, a clerk em- ployed in the Mohican Market, and residing at 1,o4s William street, was found dead in bed a few minutes be- fore o'clock this morning from the eHects of gas poisoning.

Mrs. Habgedorn happens to be in New York at the present time and the par ties who occupy the upper part of the house have been looking after the House for her.
 Shortly before o'clock this morn ing the lady who resides upstirs went to the room occupied by Oelrich thinking that he had gone to work, but found the door closed and tsrong odor of gas filling the hallway. She became alarmed and immediately telephoned to the Emergency Hospi- tai for the ambulance.
 Dr. F. E.. Gavlas answered the call, but when the arrived on the scene he found that Oelrich had been dead for some time from gas which was escaping from a wide open gas jet. | From statements made by other in- mates of the house .Oelrich was last seen yesterday evening about five o'clock in an intoxicated condition and when Dr. Gavlas forced the door of his room this morning he found several bottles of beer on the floor and other empty bottles lying around.
 which gives support to the statements of neighbors that the deceased had been drinking last night.
 Dr. Gavlas is fully convinced the death is entirely accidental and that the question of suicide is not even considered,

SUBMARINE NOT SERIOUS DANGER
 SAYS SEA LORD
(Continued from Page One. )

(Conunued from Page One.) as to whether the enemy will persist in this new policy. am not inclined to take the business seriously. It cannot be serious in relation to the immense volume of sea traffic between the United States and Europe. But I must enter one caveat. The prop CT policy is, as I have said, centraliza- tion of effort in the decisive areas, the narrow waters through which all sub- marines, whether intended to cruise off our shores or of the American coast, must pass.
 The first sea lord was bending over table at work when the interviewer entered the room.
 This development should not be taken very seriously" he said in re- ply to a general inquiry as to what importance he attached to the Ger man sinking of shipping off the American coast.

The fakir began to exhibit signs of nervousness, grew white and red all ternately, while sweat began to form beads on his forehead. He f1dgeted about on his seat and began to sidle toward the door. The doctor and his two assistants paid no attention to him but kept on with their con- versation concerning the operation. At last the maIingerer reached the door and disappeared like a flash. He was last seen running. as though entered for a hundred yard dash, down Fairfield avenue in the direction of Water street.

WHY THE LAW SHOULD BE OBSERVED.

Respect for observance Of the law has always been
gad of the very foundation stones of organized society
and civilization Conversely disregard of the law has always
been regarded menace to society.
Disregard for the law by member of society comes
from contempt for the awfrom feeling that the judgment
and will of the individual really is superior to the law
From the petty thief to the most prominent maefactors
of great wealth. it will be found that this contempt of the law
always exist alongside breaking of the statutes.
That is the for the constant reteran by all great
sisted on particular regulation considered
good might allow disrespect for the law and it's
violation with impunity in apparently harmless
would logically lead to anarchy.
The principles merely the effort of
society protect itself against anarchy and therefore it has
been held without dispute that breaker of the law
of society And the the position of the offender
tho greater has been the sapprobaon with which his act has
been viewed.
That the why when great corporate inter
ests have been found guilty of illegal practices the resentment
of society has been the greater For it reasoned that their
for evil consisted not alone in the greater damage their
acts might do but fully much the weight of their
ample spreading contempt of law in the minds Of the people
that would lead to universal disregard for awand chaos
1t not alone the direct that done by great
corporate law breakers that made the epet aectors of
great wealth of the opprobious sgmas that could
be hurled at such enemies of society 1t the feeling that
their example might easily do greater damage.
Lesser people might Offend and their offenses carry
paratvey little danger But when those with great power and
much money began aside the law society in it's
might and despite their wealth their power taught them
that ocetd superior to their interests These
interests cared not much for the pishments inflicted but
when public opinion began to hold them opprobu they
began conform the law which they had before held
lightly.
There lesson in this for certain Nogales interests In
the long persistent disregard of law will not be tolerated
on the part of any person aggregation of persons

BIG GAIN
IN OFFICE
CO. CLERK

The receipts of the county clerk S
office shows a 33 per cont gain over
the receipts that were collected in
1916, according to the figures given
out by County Clerk Cox. The
amount collected by the county clerk
during 1916 amounted to about $4,000
while the collections for the past year
pass the $4,000 mark.
Mr. Cox estimated that the collec-
tions for the fiscal year ending with
July l. 1917, would amount to only
about one-half of the receipts for
the fiscal year that will end July /,
1918.
There has been a steady increase
in both departments of the office and
we believe there will be a continued
increase until after the end of the
fiscal year at least, Mr.. Cox said.
