SECOND VICTIM IS
CLAIMED BY FUMES
OF MYSTERY GAS

NEW YORK, Oct. 27. - Tive men
are dead and three are confined to
Reconstruction hospital today suffer-
ing from a strange toxic delirium re-
,sulting from the breathing of gases
in the Bayway plant of the Standard
oil company at Elizabeth. *. j.
The second man to succumb to the
mysterious malady, Walter Dymock,
of Elizabeth, died at Reconstruction
hospital last night. No announce
ment of the fatality was made by the
hospital authorities. The first VIC
tim, Ernest Oelgert, Jr., also of Eliza
beth, died there before he could be
removed to the hospital.
T. L. Lewis, superintendent Of Re-
construction hospital, early today re-
fused to give any information con-
corning the condition of the sur
vivors of the mysterious ailment, and
made no announcement of the death
of Dymock. News of Dymock's death
was obtained at his home in Eliza
beth.
The Standard Oil company issued
a statement which said that the men
had become Seriously i'll" while at
work in the Elizabeth laboratory last
week. For weeks, the companys an
nouncement said, these five men had
been experimenting with chemicals
and gases 'in an effort to find a
substance which could be success
fully used with straight gasoline to
overcome certain inherent difficulties
of motor car operations"
DIR. Joseph Funk, who treated Gel
CERT, reported that his death was due
to continued inhala of a gas used
in connection with ethylene, which
recently has come into wide use as
an anaesthetic.
William insolvency, Herbert Flu
son and William Grerge, all of Eliza
beth, remain in Reconstruction hos
pital./ With Dymocll, they were
taken there Saturday after Oelgert
had died. The gases were said to
have affected all similarly-they lost
weight, had Authorizations and de-
lirium.
DR.. w. G.. Thompson, Of Recon
struction hospital and a consultant
of the Standard Oil company, said
that the poisoning is entirely new
to science. Insomnia, he said, was
one of the first symptoms, and low
blood pressure also was noted. The
effect, he added is somewhat SINH
lar to that which sometimes follow
ed the use of certain poison gases
during the war, but no special meth
Cd Of treatment has been evolved.
1t later was explained that the
substance with which the As men
employed in the laboratory had been
working was q fluid which, when
mixed with gasoline, was designed to
retard the combustion rate of the
fuel. All the workers were under

their employment in the laboratory,
the company statement said, adding
that all laboratory workers were un-

DANIELS MAY NOT
TALK IN OIL PROBE;
DENNY AWAITS CALL

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27.-Though
two former secretaries of the navy
were present when the government
lease cancellation suit against the
Pan-American Petroleum and Trans
port company went to trial last
Tuesday, neither of them had yet
taken the stand as the battle for
control of the Elk Hills naval oil
reserves swung into it's second week

chief defense counsel, to the effect
that during Daniels administration
the Standard Oil company was per
mitted to drill wells at the boundary
of naval reserve No. l and to drain
the resources of that territory with
out molestation. 1t was announced
last night, however, by Owen j.
Roberts, of government counsel,
that it was by no means certain that
Daniels would be called, as until
the case is further advanced it will
not be possible to determine wheth'
er his testimony will be needed.
The other former secretary of the
navy, who attended the opening ses-
sion of the trial, was Edwin DENLY,
during whose administration the
Pan-American leases ana contracts
were awarded. He also is here await
ing call to the witness stand.

stunned in federal court today at ,
p. m, with Edward c. F'inney. as
sistant secretary of the interior. on
the stand. Finney, who was hold
ing his present position when AL

ing office in March, 1921, to seek
information on naval oil reserves,
although it was more than two
months before President Harding
transferred control of the reserves

Ten District Attorneys
Ousted for Dry Laxity,
Attorney General Says

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27. = Four
United States district attorneys have
been asked to resign, and six others
have resigned since last July as a
result Of failure in most instances to
enforce the prohibition laws, Attor-
ney General Stone said today in ref
erence to charges of lax prohibition
enforcement.
The statement was made by Mr..
Stone in amplification of the letter
of Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt,
assistant attorney general, made pub
lie recently, in which she said at
least ten district attorneys were in
different towards prohibition enforce
ment. This letter was written last
July, and he said since that time
steps had been taken to dispense
with the services of ten district at
torneys. He did not name them.

SHENANDOAH AND ZR-3
REST SIDE BY SIDE IN HANGAR
LAkEHURST, N. j., Oct. 81
Americas two great dirigibles, the
Shenandoah and the ZR-3, berthed
together in a hangar that could ac-
comm odate a third big airship, were
seen today by more than $4,000 Wis.,
itorS.
The Shenandoah returned to her
hangar after a trip of 5000 miles to
the Pacific coast and back.
Commander Zachary Lansdowne,
at his home this afternoon, said the
continental cruise proved that ex-
penditure of large sums for hangers
was unnecessary. They are no more
to an airship than drydock is to a
steamship, he said, being merely
places to so for overhauling and re-
pairs.

his opinion that a second hangar on

for all needs.

the first months of operation of the

Shenandoah, has inspected the re-
