BROAD ADVANCE

:. u.ll Street, New York, March
i The most immediate explana-
IN for today's very broad advance
/, stocks-the most consistent and
sltorether impressive of the year
= fsr-was to be sought in condi-
.;ons within the market itself rath-
: than anything new on the out
Sde of course the fundamental
esuses underlying the upward
pavement are the same now that
they have been all along since the
r,jddle of January-gradual inn
rroyement, actual and anticipated
x the volume of trade, the restora-
An of prices on the farms and at
a. manufacturing centers, and the
Sbundance of money supplies at
a. lowest rates prevailing in three
ynars.
fBut all this had been perfectly
xell understood for the last two
months. It was no better appre-
dated today with stocks going up
nan it was a week ago when the
market started its little downward
tnrn. The whole reason for the
change in speculative sentiments
yesterday and this morning was
amply that professional Wall
Street has been proved wrong IN
lis theory that the main advance
vas over for the time being. This
fiew was upset when toward the
dose of Yesterdays session tht
general average of the share list
cot into new high ground for tn:
year. From this there could bc
only one inference, and that wa:
that the notion of the upwart
swing have terminated for thu
present was erroneous.

MOTHER AND BABE |
agNERG0MEBYGAS
Father In Serious Condition
in Cook Hospital and
May Die;

Mrs. Enrico Genoyese died at
o'clock this morning at Cook
Hospital as a result Of inhaling
while sleeping Sunday night a,
large amount Of carbon monoxide
gas. Tonia Genovse, her infant
daughter, was found dead when
neighbors entered their home late
yesterday afternoon, and her hus.
band is a patient in Cook Hospital
still seriously Ill, but attending.
physicians believe that he will re-
cover.
The tragedy was discovered
last evening when Antonio Arcura
the next door neighbor OF the
Genovese family, having seen no
sign Of life around the house all,
day yesterday, entered the house.
Arcuri found Mr.. and Mrs. Geuo-
yese and the infant babe all in
bed. The child was dead and Mr..
and Mrs. Genovese unconscious.
A gas fire and a light were burn
ing in the room.
Physicians were called and Doc
tors 0ffner, Kunst, Howard and
Causey responded. to the distress
call. Chief Watkins OF the FIRE
department was also called to
bring the city's pulmotor to try
to restore the parents Of the child.
In a short time the doctors had
the two, older persons breathing,
and they were rushed to Cook
Hospital. q
Upon arrival at the hospital
the doctors made a vain fight to-
save the life OF Mrs. Genovese,
but as the hours slowly slipped by
1t was seen that all their efforts
were to be In vain. Undaunted.
however, they worked until almost
morning, when the patient ceased
to breathe. While the fruItless
effort was being made upon Mrs.
Genoyese the doctors taking care
Of her husband were more sue
cessful and unless something new
develops he will survive,
Improper combustion and the
fact that the room was closed up
caused the death Of two, and may
yet result fatally TO the. third
member Of the family. The
obnoctious gas formed by the bad
mixture filed the small room, the.
pure air in the room was soon
polluted and the sleepers breath.
ed the poisoned gas into their
lungs, causing them to lose con.
81 .ousness, IA
The child was not strong enough
to survive the poisonous gas, and
| 1t had quietly died before Mr.,
Arcurl entered the room. II the
rescue had not been effected ut
the time II. was. both Mr.. and Mrs.
GCnovese would have been dead
IN another hour or so. Sd
No funeral arrangements have
been made as yet, and they will
/ probably be held, up until tomor-
row, pending developments in tho
case OF taa third member OF the
family. The bodies Of Mrs. Geno-
yese and the child were removed
Ito the Cunningham mOrgue and
| prepared for burial.

The section Of the paper by Mr..
Dale, which made 1t impossible for
the writer to deliver 1t, dealing
with the water situation, follows:
The state Of health of your
immediate subordinates are es.
sential to the operation OF your
industry. and 1t is therefore your.
duty TO cooperate with your city
officials in pointing out way to
make the conditions better. The
city official is usually u busy man,
and constantly under criticism,
yet he does the best that he can
in your silence; whereas, II you
would turn to and assist him

ditions, your employees would be.
