Five Persons Dead
From Fumes of Gas

Detroit, Dec. 26.-Fumes from de
fective gas heater caused the death
Of Gaetano Maimonti, his wife and
three children here Saturday night as
the family was preparing 10 celebrate
the holidays. Police, called by neigh
bors whose anxiety had been aroused
today by the fact that the Christmas
tree in the Maimonti home was
brightly lighted since Saturday night,
while no one Of the family had been
seen, broke down a window and dis
covered the tragedy.
The bodies of Mrs. Maimonti and
the children were found in their beds.
Maimonti's body was found near his
wife's bed, where he apparently had
been overcome as he attempted to
arouse his family.
The police believe Maimonti re-
mained up after other members of the
family retired to decorate the Christ
mas tree; that with the task COM
pleted, he lighted the gas heater
which had no pipe connection with
the chimney, to heat water for his
bath, and that possibly he sat down
to rest and fell asleep. He was
aroused some time later by the fumes,
officers believed, but was overcome
before he could save his family.

"Three Friends" Purchased

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 23.--Tke
oceangoing tug Three Friends, which
attracted worldwide attention as a
tlibuster prior to the outbreak of the
Spanish American war as a result OF
her exploits in transporting arms and
ammunition from the United States
to Cuba for the Cuban revolutionists
has been purchased by local ship
ping concern from the estate of the
late governor and United States Sen
ator-elect Napoleon B. Broward, who
commanded her during part of her
adventurous career, and will be con
Verted into wrecking tug.
The Three Friends, built in Jack
sonville in 1895, is 112 feet in length
and although designed solely for tow
ing purposes her lines and power were
such that she easily could show her
heels to all but the speediest warcraft
of the day. When gun running be-
came popular and profitable she join
ed the tug Dauntless, commanded by
the widely known Dynamite John
ny" O'Brien and successfully eluding
Spanish and American war
ships sent to capture them the two
vessels landed cargo after cargo of
for the Cuban patriots.
Other vessels also were engaged in
but their activities soon
we're overshadowed by the hair-rais-
ing exploits of the Three Friends and
the Dauntless and the names of the
two tugs became familiar throughout
the world.
