THIRD MAN DIES
Of POISON GAS
Victim of Mysterious Gas at
BayWay Plant of Stand
ard Oil Company
PHYSICIANS ARE BAFFLED
William McSweeney of Eliza
beth Passed Out Last Night
in Reconstruction Hospital

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S:-A third
victim of "looney gas" poisoning in
the research laboratory of the Bay
way. n. j., plant of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey died here
today in Reconstruction Hospital.
He was William McSweeney, twenty
seven years old. of Elizabeth, N. ].
With three men dead, two others
in a serious condition and an unde-
termined number of other employees
in the Reconstruction Hospital as
the result of the poisoning gas,
physicians still professed themselves
baffled as to the cause of the mems
mysterious affliction.
DR.. Yandell Henderson, professor
OF applied physiology at Yale Uni
versity. said that the cause of the
poisoning was tetraethyl lead. used
in the commercial manufacture of a
fluid designed to eliminate knock
ing" in automobile engines. He
charged that its sale on a CONNER
cial basis In many states Is a public
menace.
The gas plant was ordered closed
yesterday and the some forty men
employed therein were given physi-
cal examinations. AS a result, it is
reported that a number of them
have been sent to a hospital in this
city.
The physicians in the hospital ad-
nit they know of 70 antidote for
the poison. They say that the
symptoms of the men are entirely
new to them.
Representatives of the Standard
Oil Company said that tests had dis
closed that there is no danger in the
use of ethyl gas.

SHENAND0AH'S FLIGHT
MAY ASSURE POLE TRIP

WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S:-A study
of the flight of the Shenandoah to
the west coast and return is expected
by President Coolidge to furnish In
formation upon which may be based
hnal decision as to a flight by the
air cruiser to the North Pole.
The President has been told that
the Shenandoah's fight was in every
way comparable with that of the
ZR-3 across the Atlantic. 1t is re-
called that one of the important
considerations which led to abandon
ment of the North Pole project last
year was hesitancy to risk the only
ship of the Zeppelin type possessed
by the American government.
With two such craft now in opera
tioni that consideration, at least, has
been rem oved.

BRITISH CLOSE
HOT CAMP PA|GN
Much Disorder Marks Close of
Speechmaking Throughout
England as Voting Begins
THE RUSSIAN QUESTION
Fate of the Labor Party
Hangs in the Balance
Conservatives Confident

LONDON, Oct. % (By The Associ-
ated ress).-Today, the last day OF
the election campaign, is being de-
voted to intensified canvasses and
torrents of speeches by all the par
ties. Political tempers have been
growing steadily hotter for the last
few days and show no signs of cool
ing as the polling day approaches.
Several meetings last night were
marked by violent disturbances and
the police in some instances were
called to prevent dangerous develop
ments. The worst violence occurred
outside a meeting hall in Battersea,
where a furious blow aimed at the
conservative candidate, Viscount Cur
zon, missed him but felled a compan-
ion unconscious. The tires were
ripped from Lord Curzon's automo-
bile and the lamps were smashed.
The Russian affair. growing out
of publication by the foreign Office
OF the alleged Zinovieff letter to the
British Communist party. has served
to heighten the feeling. but there Is
nothing to show whether it will have
the damaging effect on Labor's
which the governments opponents
predict.

One of the burlap bags bore the
name of Lance Bros. of Glen Gard
ner, N. j.. where the firm conducts
a feed store; while two others bore
the names of feed stores in Asbury
and Ludlow. N. ]. In the three bags
were found three lady's hats. neck
laces. clothing. yarn. embroidery and
other personal belongings which in
dicated that after the woman had
been killed all her property had been
gathered together to be thrown out
with the body.
County Physician Cummings said
the woman had been dead about two
days. Mrs. Mooney related that her
twelve year old son, Matthew. Jr.,
told of seeing a body in the mine
hole last night when he came home
late in the evening. She said due to
the lateness of the hour and her
belief thar the boy may have been
mistaken due TO the darkness that
she did not investigate. This morn
ing she went with her son to the
scene and immediately reported her
discovery to County Physician Cum
mings and the state police.
Warren County Prosecutor Smith
and Coroner Fisher came here this
noon to perform an autopsy on the
unidentified body while state police
set up a statewide search for the
murdered.
A signet ring, without initials
was found on the wedding-ri ring
finger and one or two gold teeth in
front served as further clues for pur-
suing Identification. The condition
of the woman's clothing which was
found in the burlap indicated that
she had been woman of moderate
means and apparently employed as a
housekeeper.
The ancient iron mine hole in
which the body was found is about
ten feet deep. the mine having been
abandoned fifty years ago and partly
filled in as well as overgrown with
brush and trees. 1t is located twenty
feet from the main road leading
from this town to Washington. N. ].
and is less than one-quarter of a
mile from the st. Rose Catholic
church which stands in the edge of
the village. A small woods which
surrounds the site of the old iron
mine adjoins the church.

1 told why the health authorities were op- posing them. At the second meeting held last Monday, Roderick Beddow and Dr. Bowling, health officer, were heard on opposite sides, and many ques- | tions were asked by the members
 Following the talks, and having care I fully studied all phases of the milk question, the league went into executive session and the following resolution was adopted:
 ''Whereas, the present ordinance regulating milk production in Birming- ham is the result of years of experi- ment and has proven the greatest safe guard to childhood and infancy, mini mixing the degrees of typhoid, colitis and other mortal diseases, and raising immensely the health standard in the community, and
 Whereas, while we recognize as most important the protection of the rights of minorities, nevertheless our first interest is in the health of the children, and we feel that we must be guided in matters of milk regulation by the board of health experts, to whom we owe our present high standard of public health, even though this may work a hardship on a minority of the raw milk dairyman.
 We therefore urge that the proposed amendments to the present milk code be defeated by the city commission"
