How Test Was Made.

The tests. which We're performed IN
the course of general studies of tine
bureau of mines relative to sas haz-
ards in mines, were made on three
men confined in a closed chamber
whose dimensions were 1000 cubic
feet. The three subjects pulled mer-
rily for the space OF an hour and
half at cigarettes of every variety,
Turkish, Egyptian, the old Virginia
brand. ana the type wherein the
smoker "rolls his own" Following
this. the smokers drew energetically
at an infinite variety of cigars-cher-
cots. Pittsburgh stogies, black Man
Has and Havanas of choice degree.
Finally they pulled frantically at
pipes, at pipes of clay and cob, at
pipes Of meerschaum and briar. At
the conclusion of the performance the
air of the closed chamber had become
so smoky that it was impossible to
see across the room The atmosphere
was so irritating to the eyes that it
was necessary to wear goggles.
Conclusion.
Samples OF the atmosphere and
blood samples of the smokers We're
then taken for analysis. II was found
that in no instance did the carbon
monoxide content of air exceed 1-1oOO
per cent The maximum blood satur-
alton was 5 per cent Some of the
subjects supposedly inhaled their
smoke, but the tests indicated that
such inhalation, though it may have
extended to the bronchial tubes, did
not penetrate throughout the lungs
The tests indicate that carbon mon
oxide hazard from smoking indoors or
in mines is negligible in itself though
the bureau of mines investigators con-
slider that it may add to the smokers
hazard should he be caught by car
hon monoxide from sources such as
occur in the mining industry.

Sensational Murder Case.
The executions OF Bywaters and
Mrs. Thompson brought to an end one
Of Englands most sensational murder
cases since the Crippen affair, and,
incidentally, provided the first in
stance of capital punishment of a
woman in England for fifteen years.
Percy Thompson, a shipping clerk,
was stabbed to death In a dark street
near his home in Ilford. a London
suburb, early in the morning of Octo-
Der 4. last. while returning from a
theater with his wife. When found
the body was propped against q wall,
and his beautiful wife was kneeling
nearby In a hysterical condition.
Upon the strength OF her story to
the police, Bywaters, twenty-year-old
steamship steward, was arrested two
days later and accused jointly with
Mrs. Thompson of murder.
An immediate sensation was caused
when the police submitted at the first
hearing an alleged confession, in
which Bywaters appeared as declar-
ing his love for Mrs. Thompson had
prompted the act.
Letters Reveal Plot.
Later a series of remarkable kt-
ters was produced in which Mrs.
Thompson, addressing Bymaters In
the most endearing terms, urged him
to study the effect of various poisons
on the human system and told of
bungling several attempts on her
husbands life by introducing various
substances into his food. One letter
told Of using powdered glass from

TRIBUTE PAID MEMORY
{, OF ROYAL e. WILBUR
Prohibition Commissioner Praises
His Competency, Diligence and
Aptitude in q. S, Service.

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
yesterday issued a commendatory
statement In connection with the
death OF Royal E. Wilbur, an attor-
ney OF the prohibition unit. who died
suddenly while attending services
Sunday evening at the Bethany
Baptist Church.
Mr.. Wilbur" said the statement,
has been In the employ of the gov
ernment since November, 1891, and
was known to a great many not only
in Washington, but throughout the
country, because of his competency,
diligence and aptitude for whatever
task was assigned to him. Mr.. Will
bur roSe from the position of clerk
in the Treasury Department to that
of senior clerk In the Office OF the
commissioner OF internal revenue.
He was a graduate of Cornell, a law
yer by profession and considered by
officials of the department as an au-
thority on internal revenue laws. in
cluding those regarding prohibition,
having been transferred to the pro-
hibition unit at the very beginning
of It's organization in 1919, and as
signed the responsible task of re-
viewing all rulings issued by the
unit.

1t was shown during the trial that
Bywaters had been a close friend OF
the Thompsons for some time. By
waters himself declared on the stand
wife, and he pleaded that in attack
ing the husband he did not intend
to kill, but to chastise him. He de-
clared he was forced to siay in self
defense. The evidence showed that
Bywaters and Mrs. Thompson had
the attack.

though also proclaiming his inno-
cence.
The lord chief justice on December
81 dismissed the appeals of the con-
demned couple, and appeals for Glenn
ency were carried to the home office,
the last resort. but without avail.
Petitions in favor OF Bywaters were
signed by more than a million per-
sons. but comparatively few came out
for Mrs. Thompson. Public sympathy
for the man was based largely on the
belief that he was the unwilling tool
of the woman, who was eight years
his senior.
The last hope for the pair was shat
tered yesterday when Home Secretary
Bridgeman declared. in answer TO
many queries. that he could not de-
part from his decision and that the

Thompson in self-defense. The wom-

family, assured them that she went to
death with no guilt on her soul.
Persons living near Pentonville
prison said that never before had they
seen such crowds gather for an exc

jails posted on the gates the brief
