LONG FIGHT TO SAVE
 MAN FROM GAS DEATH
PerrOne's Wife Went to Work Leaving Jet
 Turned on

Overcome by gas escaping through q partly open jet in the stove in the kitchen, Giovanni Perone, aged about 30, of 211 Broad street was unconscious for more than an hour this morning while Policemen James McCabe, William O'Mara and A. c. Walencius and Second Deputy Fire Chief NJ. T. Souney worked over him with the pulmotcr. The arrival of Perrone's partner in the contracting business and the heroic work of the policemen and Chief Souney undoubtedly saved the mans life.
 Perrone's partner tried to arouse him by knocking on the door for several minutes before notifying the police. Officer McCabe opened the door with a skeleton key and found the tenement filled with gas. Per rome was in bed and showed no signs of life. Several times during the resuscitation operations it seemed as though life was extinct,
 The police learned that Perrone's wife is employed at the Corbin Screw Corporation factory. Officer O'Mara notified her of the affair and she inn mediately went home. The police believed she accidentally neglected to shut off the stove jet before leaving for her work after breakfast. Per- ronc's partner arrived at the home soon after o'clock and the police came about half an hour later and did not return until about 9:30.
 The hospital ambulance was at the scene but Porrone, after being revived, refused 10 go 10 the hospi- tai. He was very ill and in greatly weakened condition as a result of his experience,

52 YEARS A FIREMAN,
 BOSTON MAN RETIRED
Jimmy" Hughes Also Civil War Vet, Joining Army
 at Eleven

Boston, April 30 (Pt-"Jimmy Hughes, Civil war veteran and 59 years a fire fighter, stepped out of the Boston department today with two cherished posscssions-a solid silver veterans badge and his own battered, nickle-plated "3S1", worn ever since he swung the horses of Ladder s back in '7S.
 The commissioner gave him the silver one and broke department rule when he let him keep his service badge, but not even the commissioner could back Jimmy 5 fight 10 stay in the department on tho ground that he was Civil war veteran. No one could officially prove Jimmy's service record be- cause he tried to enlist when he was II years old.
 The recruiting board turned him down, so he attached himself to the first division leaving Boston, which happened to be the 29th Infantry, and went along anyhow. He told it all to the retirement board and even produced q witness in Jerry Downey, his wartime bunkie, now the "super's doorman" at police headquarters. But there were no discharge papers and the board had to let him out today on half pay of S1.o0O year.
 Jimmy is Boston born and bred. Besides being the oldest man in point of service in inc department he claimed to be the shortest. He stands just five feet, but for years he was considered the best driver in the department, despite his slight stature. His friends declare it was his love of horses that kept him from the white hat and coat of a chief. Promotion was offered him many times, but it was always de clined with q thanks, I'll stay with the horses"
 When the horses went out Jimmy left the drivers seat for the rear fcotboard. But he always stayed on active duty with an intown engine and until yesterday was familiar sight to ihc local sparks" ionncinC by on the hand rail of Tower ?.

FORBIDS WORK ON
 THREE BUILDINGS
Rutherford Orders Construction Without Permits Stopped
LOOKS INTO FOURTH CASE
Job On Greenwood Street Said To Be In Progress Under Permit Issued By Ex-Building Inspector Two Years Ago.

Chief Building Inspector E. J.. Hennessy has taken a hand in the drive against building operations without city permits which was started by his deputy, Arthur N Rutherford, several days ago, the chief inspector having ordered workmen out of the Naples house on Hart street where he found opera tions in full swing yesterday in spite of the fact that the permit had been revoked.
 Rutherford who, on the first day of his drive, found it necessary to call in the police to stay work on a garage building on Pearl court, and who later required a roofing com- pany to take four permits for jobs on which work was begun, today followed up his chiefs lead by stop ping work on three buildings. He is Investigating a fourth matter out of which another order may be issued today.
 John Romanis is the owner of 8 building at 121 Whiting street where alterations were found to be in progress to the extent of $700 to- day. Work was stopped. Later, at 16 John street, workmcn were re- quired to discontinue operations on the erection of a frame addition to a dwelling owned by Anton Roman skus, Joseph Malozska later receiv- ed an order to quit work on garage at G9 Lincoln street.
 For several months there have been complaints of unauthorized building. The department hae checked up on specific complaints sOn'o of which were found to be grounded on fact and some not Deputy Inspector Rutherford this week launched systematic drive against building without permits and ill three days eight jobs were found,
 Late today the building depart ment was informed that A. P. Marsh is building an addition to his storehouse on Greenwood street under a permit issued by John c, Gilchrecst, who was build ing inspector two years ago.
 A provision of 2oning requires operations to be started within three months after the issuance of a permit and completed within a year or a permit renewed. If this is applicable to the Marsh case it may have the effect of reopening the matter 10 an extent that may cause other zone regulations to further involve the matter.
 Naples Plan unsatisfactory . An amended plan for the Naples house on Hart street, under which : it was hoped a permit would be issued for rcopcuing of operations has not yet met the approval of those who lead the remonstrants against thc building.

Department payroll for 81 100 2
month. the sum he told the court
he received from the Government,
or any other amount, according to
Sargent.

laski is not on the palroll Of that
department.
Ii was reported, however, that
Bielaski had been paid on q fee
basis out of a special fund APP
propriated for the purchase Of
