Gas KILLS 3
Mill WORKERS

New York. July 22.-Bodies Of three
workmen, killed, police said. by q fu-
migating gas, were found today in
-four mill of the Hecker-Jones Jewell
Milling Co.
The mill was fumigated yesterday
afternoon, it was said, after orders had
been issued for all employees to leave
the plant. 1t was believed the three
had started out, as one body was found
near the door and the other two not far
inside. One inhalation of the gas used,
it was said, would be enough to cause
Inconsistencies.
One Of the victims was identified
by his sister as John Ustic. The other
two were believed to have been A.
Nearizme and B. Levitt.
F'iremen wearing gas masks searched
the flour MILL which covers several city
blocks. for other possible victims. They
were forced to work in relays as the
gas seeped through their helmets.
Twenty firemen would have been
killed If fire had broken out in the
plant, Assistant Fire Chief Hayes said.
He asserted arrests would be made as
soon as responsibility for the neglect
to notify the fire department of the
fumigation had been placed.

Sitka, Alaska. July 22.-(By A, PD
President Harding concluded his
visit to Alaska here today exactly
two weeks frdm the day he first
stepped on the soil of the territory
and tonight the transport Hender-
son, carrying the presidential party,
steamed out Of the harbor bound for
Vancouver, B. c., and Seattle.
The chief executive and also Mrs.
Harding expressed a deep feeling of
regret as they said farewell to the
citizens of this little town, where
occurred the ceremony which trans
ferred tine territory from Russian
to American rule, and through these
citizens, goodbye to Alaska.
The two weeks spent in Alaska
have given the President and his
cabinet advisers accompanying him,
new vision of Alaska and, as he
has said, new determination to do
all in his power to bring this vast
territory to its fullest degree of
development.
Great as was the regret of Mr..
Harding and other members of his
party at leaving the territory where
they have been welcomed so COR
daily, such feeling obviously was
shared to the fullest degree by the
people of Alaska.
Whatever the government may do
tc aid Alaska in the future as a re-
suit of the Presidents visit, the
people of Alaska declare much al
ready has been done because for two
weeks more attention has been dir
ected toward the territory than at
any time since it was purchased by
the United States in 1867.
