Woman and 2 Children
Killed by Gas from Stove
Mother Finds Bodies of Boy and
Girl and Their Caretaker
Behind Locked Door

Mrs. Mary Turner found the door of
her room at 107 Nassau Street, Brook
lyn, locked when she returned yester-
day afternoon. There was no response
to her knock and she decided that Mrs.
Mary Johnson, her roommate, had gone
out with her two children, whom she
had left in Mrs. Johnson's care for the
day.
- 1t was two hours later when Mrs.
Turner, confident that by this time her
children and her roommate would have
returned, knocked at the door again.
Again there was no response, Mrs.
Turner went to her landlady and got a
key to the room
AS she opened the door she was al
most overcome by the odor of gas.
She called help and it was found that
Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Turner's chill
dren, William Gay, fourteen years old,
and Mary Turner, two years old, had
been killed by the gas which was flow
ing from a burner of the stove. 1t is
thought that the boy, who had been
peeling potatoes, had turned on the
gas preparatory to cooking them and
had forgotten to light it,

Adullamites.

A new political party was organized
in Chicago Saturday. The meeting
place was crowded, and halcyon and
vociferous time was had by all.
Some stirring speeches were made
stressing the difficulties of the day

evidence.

one was prohibitive. But even if h.

Be Kind to Animals!

Throughout the United States this
week the cry goes forth, "Be kind to
animalsi" The children are urged to
remember the services and kindnesses
Of the animals, whom they loved 50
dearly in their earlier years. The
adults are asked to bear in mind the
many virtues Of the creatures upon
whom they depend for so much of
their needed materials and food.
Everybody is enjoined to apply to these
faithful creatures, who have been mans
companions and servitors for centuries,
the golden rule that is the foundation
of righteousness.

River Accidents.

Reports of accidents on the river
have begun to come in. A canoe cap
sized and thanks to the swimming
skill and courage Of some Of the canoe
lists nothing worse resulted to the ad-
venturers than a cold drenching. It
was not the fault of the canoeists and
not the fault Of the canoe. People are
too apt to blame a canoe because It
looks so frail, but those who know
how to handle this ancient form Of
craft declare that it is as safe as a
fiat bottom rowboat. There may be a
dispute about this, but such dispute
should be carried on and carried out
by votaries of rowboats and canoes. It
is not a question to be meddled with
by men who do not take the water.
The particular accident reported was
caused by the canoe striking sub.
merged tree or log. Such an accident
may happen to any one at any time.
In steamboat days on the Ohio, Missis-
sippi and other western rivers, news
papers often carried the sad news of
the sinking of a steamboat by "strik-
ing snag." But as the river season
is opening people ought to exercise
caution as to how they go aboating
and whom they 60 with. Men skilled
in the handling of canoes and boats,
and who know the ways Of the river,
ought to do their best to warn and in
struct unskillful watermen and novices
in the art of handling oars or paddles.
No iron-clad rule can be laid down
which will prevent accidents on the
RIVER or elsewhere, but experience
points out certain broad rules for
safety which ought to be observed.

Senate and Peace Resolution,

The question of the hour is. how
long VIII the Senate debate the House
peace resolution? The resolution is
debatable, and the Senate is full of
debate. Points not touched upon in
the debate on the peace treaty are pre-
sented, and are of kind to develop
discussion. They developed discussion
IN the House, but, owing to the rules
OF that body, only to limited degree.
In the Senate freer conditions prevail :;
and what was but outlined in the
House can, and probably will, now be
filed in and elaborated.
The length of the Senate debate will
have bearing on the length of the
congressional session. The appropria-
ton bills are coming on, and there is
good deal of debate in them. All
ought to be passed before the session
ends. One of the delinquencies of the
Slxty-ffth Congress was its failure to
pass all of the supply bills. Several
were left over, and fell to the lot of
the present Congress.
The plan has been, and still is, to
bring about adjournment before the
meeting day of the Chicago convention,
which is less than four weeks away,
Both parties desire that, the democratic
party having in mind the San Fran
cisco convention, which follows hard
upon the Chicago convention:
And added to this now is the ar
rangement for visit to the far east
of large number of senators and
representatives for the purpose of in
specting American overseas posses
sions in that quarter of the world.
July is the day set for sailing.
The peace resolution is very i'm
portant matter, and comes somewhat
in the nature of a surprise. A product
of the rejection of the peace treaty, it
raises questions both of a constitu.
tional character and general character,
and appeals to both lawyers and lay
men. Nearly everybody, indeed, finds
ething of interest in this new prop
osition for proelaiming peace.
At the same time, there are other
matters, and it is important that they
should be attended to without DELAY.
The Army and the Navy have strong
claims upon consideration; and there
is not one Of the supply bills which
does not contain items to which Con-
gress should give more than the usual
attention. Legislation now has to do
with new era and the new conditions
it has brought, and should be shaped
with care. Within a week we should
know whether Congress will put up the
shutters early or late in the summer.

composed of such men and their ap-
plauders would give the country

plauders would give ths~countryi
And yet, wild and absurd as these
outgivings are, they do not top in
wildness or absurdity the outgivings
of men much better known, who are
proposing new parties at the present
time, on the allegation that no relief
from prevailing abuse is obtainable
through either of the two old agencies,
or any of the tried processes Of gov
ernmental action. Some of the crazi-
est notions are put forward and EN-
phasizcd-notiors that in action would
lead straight and inevitably to chaos.
Nobody can deny, or should attempt
to minimize, the difficulties from
which as people we are now suffer
ing. Neither can the eyes be closed to
the fact that something must be done
to relieve the situation. But there is
hope, there is even assurance, in what
is being done in that direction by men
experienced in national affairs, who
have large stake in the game, and
of whose intelligence and patriotism
there can be no question.
A new party formed now on the al
legation that both of the old parties
have outlived their usefulness would
attract every crank and kicker ia the
country, and thus become force of

grievances and quite as great variety
of remedies, and to the full extent of
