MT. and Mrs. Stanley Herpst and their six children, whose ages range from , to II years, were found about II o'clock Saturday night by Louis Fanion just in time to preclude as- phyxiation. Some of the family were unconscious and others were rapidly becoming SO. the fumes from | wa ter heater operated by gas having formed gases of the kind which have claimed many lives in various places.
 Fanion, who lives in the tenement above that occupied by the Herpst family. had occasion to call before retiring. and he was amazed at the sight that greeted him. On the floor. in bed, in various positions and under varying degrees of near suffocation, were the eight persons. There was not an open window in the tenement and the gas fumes were 70 thick that Fanion was af- fected before he had been inside more than | few minutes.
 Realizing that the quickest of ac- tion must be taken, Fanion sum- moned Dr. Vincent Mendiiio. who treated all the victims. including Fanion. Herpst told him he had lighted the gas heater to prepare water for the children's bath and the fumes filled the tenement % quickly nobody knew what had hap pened. Officer John O'Keefe learn- ed of the case at 11:20 o'clock and made an immediate investigation. He communicated with police head quarters and remained about the house until the. victims recovered.
 Legislation is under consideration to correct the condition caused by escaping gas fumes, on account of the numerous cases of asphyxiation reported of late. It ts propooed to require heaters to be connected with nses and to enforce ether protective measureA

Frank Calvo, Aged S; Caught in Flames Thought Set With Matches Firemen Force Way Into Fire With Hose.
Mother of Little Victim Frantic With Grief as Efforts Are Made to Save Her Child-Father Could Not Be Located.

Frank Calvo. aged i've years. son of Mir. and Mrs. Samuel Calvo of 124 Lawlor street, was burned to death this noon in a fire in . load of hay stored in a barn owned by his father in the rear of their home.
 He and a little playmate, Edward Smith. who lives next door. were last seen playing together in the yard. One of the boys had taken some matches from his home and it is believed that this was the cause of the fire.
 The mother of the child was doing her homework when she looked out the window and saw the barn. a low rambling structure with a stable and garage adjoining 1t. in flames.
 Hurrying out. she met young Smith who told her that Frank was still inside. The Smith boy had barely gotten out of the place. The barn was seething mass of flames by this time and it was impossible for anyone to get inside.
 A neighbor turned in an alarm from Box 434 half way down Clark street towards North. This brought the fire apparatus to the scene. In the meantime, someone else had seen the blaze and had turned in an alarm from Box 421 at Lasaile street.
 Fight Way h With Hose
 When the f,remen arrived. the fire had become a holocaust. Al they hurriedly laid their lines of hose. the frantic mother ran to them screech. ing that her boy was inside. This caused the firemen to rip the doofS of and with squirting hose, they blasted their way inside.
 The hay was piled from the floor to the ceiling and was a veritable furnace. With three lines of hose playing on it, the firemen were soon able to start pitching it out into the yard. Half dozen or more of the members of the varioua companies with pitchforks flung She hay out of this structure.
 As they went deeper and deeper into the pile, they began to disbelieve that the boy was inside. They tried to reassure the mother but shs would not be comforted.
